Chapter 257 I Have Also Been Hungry
About an hour later, a group of guards came and dispersed the beggars.
Yan Li and their carriage continued to move towards the place where the dark feast was held.
"It turns out that these people also have a time limit for begging." Yan Li couldn't help but complain when he saw this.
"Usually it takes half an hour, but this time they are more lenient and will give us an hour." The guard smiled when he heard this.
"Dad, Dad..." At this moment, a little girl suddenly appeared in Yan Li's carriage.
She raised her head and looked at the guard.
"Xin'er, why did you run out? Go back quickly, go back quickly." The guard became anxious when he saw this.
When performing official duties, he definitely cannot hug her, otherwise he would forget about being a guard.
By then, the family’s life will definitely become even worse.
"Daddy, hug me, hug me." After all, the little girl was too young to understand all this, so she stretched out her hands and asked the guard to hug her.
"Where did this little girl come from?" The guards who were dispersing the crowd saw the little girl, picked her up and were about to throw her away.
"Stop!" Just as the guard closed his eyes in pain, Yan Li stopped the guard.
"Young lady, she is disrupting order and needs to be punished," the guard said coldly.
Yan Li could feel the rising anger of the guard beside her and the satisfaction in the eyes of the guard carrying the little girl.
It seems that there is a grudge between these two people.
But no matter how big the hatred between the adults is, the little girl is innocent.
"Give it to me." Yan Li looked coldly at the guard who was carrying the little girl.
Under Yan Li's cold gaze, the guard reluctantly handed the little girl in his hand to Yan Li.
"Sister." The little girl hugged Yan Li's neck affectionately.
Her action startled her father who was standing next to her, who was afraid that she had angered Yan Li.
"Xin'er, where is your mother?" Yan Li looked at the little girl.
"Mom? Mom is missing." The little girl burst into tears upon hearing this.
"Xin'er, don't cry, eat your meat buns." Yan Li had no choice but to take out two meat buns and stuff them into her hands.
Who knew that Xin'er didn't eat it, but carefully put it into his arms.
Her action was exactly the same as the one the guard had used to stuff the meat into the buns.
"Xin'er, aren't you hungry?" Yan Li looked at Xin'er curiously.
"Xin'er can eat other things if he's hungry. Give the meat buns to grandma. Grandma is sick." Xin'er said with a cute smile.
Yan Li was deeply moved when she heard this. This child was only a few years old, but he was so sensible.
"Xin'er, eat it. I'll give you a few more to take home later." Yan Li took out two more meat buns and stuffed them into her hands.
"Thank you, sister." Xin'er picked up the meat bun and started eating after hearing that.
"Xin'er, Xin'er." At this time, a woman with old but very clean clothes came over anxiously.
She wanted to come over and hug her daughter, but was stopped by the guards.
"Let her come over." Yan Li said.
After hearing this, the guards released Xin'er's mother.
"Miss, I'm so sorry. Xin'er was ignorant and offended you." Xin'er's mother was very uneasy.
"No, Xin'er is the most sensible child I have ever met." Yan Li handed Xin'er in her arms to the woman.
"Mom, my sister is so nice. She gave me meat buns to eat." Xin'er raised his head and looked at his mother.
"Xin'er, hurry up and thank your sister." The woman said to her daughter.
"Thank you, sister." Xin'er said in a baby voice.
"You're welcome." Yan Li touched her little head lovingly.
"Here, these are five meat buns and five gold coins." Yan Li handed the meat buns and gold coins to the woman.
"Thank you, young lady." The woman took it gratefully.
Along the way, she had heard that a girl named Yan Li was very generous and gave everyone five meat buns and five gold coins.
The woman left with her new baby in her arms, thanking him profusely.
She never dared to look at her husband who was a guard beside her, for fear that if he lost his job as a guard, the family would not be able to survive.
Yan Li didn't give her too much. After all, if everyone got the same amount, people wouldn't be jealous. If she gave her too much, it would not be helping her, but harming her.
The carriage continued to move forward...
"Li'er, you are such a kind child." Xiao Lingze looked at her with a smile.
"That was the time when I was starving," Yan Li said.
King Zhan and King Xiao, who were standing by, felt heartbroken instantly upon hearing this.
They recalled the days when Yan Li lived in the general's mansion. They were indeed starving, even worse than the people on the streets today.
In fact, Yan Li was not talking about the days in the general's mansion. After all, it was the previous master who experienced those things, not herself.
Yan Li was talking about the dark days she had experienced in her previous life before she became the Emperor.
The carriage stopped outside the dark feast venue.
"Miss, I will take you here. Someone will receive you after you go in." The guard said respectfully to Yan Li.
At this moment, he felt inexpressibly grateful to Yan Li.
"Okay, big brother guard, here are some of my old clothes. They are too small now. You can take them back and let Xin'er wear them." Yan Li handed a space bag to the guard.
"This..." The guard was a little flattered.
"I can't wear it anyway, so it's a waste to keep it." Yan Li handed the space bag to him and was carried by the War King into the dark feast.
The guard was stunned after opening the space bag!
There were not only several new dresses but also a pile of meat buns and thousands of gold coins.
This is enough for my family to live a good life.
However, he suppressed his inner excitement and still had a calm expression on his face.
"Jiangdong, what did that girl give you?" the other guards came over and asked.
"Exchange beautiful girl's clothes. I guess she wore too small ones before. Also, five meat buns. Yes, five meat buns." Guard Jiang Dong looked happy.
The other guards were obviously disappointed when they heard this. They had thought that Yan Li, who was so generous, would give them something good.
Then you can get a share of the pie.
Who knew it was meat buns and clothes.
"Didn't you get any gold coins?" A guard looked at Jiang Dong suspiciously.
"Of course I didn't. Let me tell you a secret. When Miss Yan gave alms, she gave five meat buns and five gold coins." Jiang Dong's eyes were full of joy.
The other guards were very envious when they heard this, because they were in charge of other carriages at the beginning, so it was impossible for them to run to Yan Li to get the meat buns and gold coins.
"Jiangdong, you made a fortune today. Your wife got five meat buns and five gold coins, and your daughter also got several meat buns." said the guard on the side.
"That's true. Brothers, you've worked hard. Since Miss Yan gave me five extra meat buns, let's eat one each." Jiang Dong said as he took out five meat buns from his space bag.
