Chapter 69: Qing Lin's Buns

Chapter 69: Qing Lin's Buns

The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old, a little awkward, standing there a little at a loss.

Seeing the black-clothed young man looking at her, there was a little uneasiness in her clean and clear eyes. She held the paper bag tightly with both hands and buried her head lower and lower.

"Don't be nervous, what's your name?"

Hearing the gentle voice, the little girl mustered up a little courage and answered softly: "Qing Lin!"

"Okay, Qing Lin, look at him!" Xiao Bai pointed to the big man standing there with cold sweat.

Qing Lin raised her head and looked in the direction of his finger. The moment she saw the big man, her body trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head and dared not look directly at him.

"Don't lower your head, raise it up!" The originally gentle voice suddenly became stern.

Qing Lin's heart trembled, and she was a little scared. She had to muster up the courage to raise her head, but when she saw the big man, she closed her eyes tightly again.

"Don't close your eyes, keep them open!" The voice was still serious.

Qing Lin was about to cry. She didn't know what the man who saved her was going to do. She suppressed her fear and trembled as she opened her eyes a little.

"Hate him?" Xiao Bai didn't care how much she opened her eyes, just watching.

Hearing this, Qing Lin shook her head with a sense of mission. She didn't dare to hate. When her mother was alive, she taught her to be tolerant in everything, so that she could survive here.

And she has always done this, allowing herself to be beaten and scolded.

At first she even begged, but now she doesn't want to speak anymore, because the more she spoke, the happier those people seemed to be, and the longer they beat her.

"Do you want to kill him?"

Although Xiao Bai's voice was light this time, Qing Lin was shocked. Killing people, she had never thought of killing people.

She couldn't help but look at the big man, only to see that he revealed pleading in his eyes. Qing Lin was very familiar with this look. She used to look at the people who beat her and the onlookers with this look.

But no one stood up. She knew how desperate that taste was! Biting her lips, Qing Lin didn't know what she felt in her heart now. Hate? Do you feel the same? She didn't know. She was only eleven years old this year. No one taught her what to do. Her mother taught her only to tolerate.

"Qing Lin doesn't know, but Qing Lin doesn't want to kill anyone!"

For the first time in her life, the little girl shouted out her true thoughts to someone other than her mother. She didn't know where she got the courage from.

After shouting, she was a little scared again, and looked at the young man in black with her peripheral vision.

"Okay! Then don't kill him!" Xiao Bai looked at her with a smile and nodded.

It didn't matter whether this person killed or not. He just wanted this poor little girl not to be so trembling and anxious.

"Get out!"

The big man felt as if he was hit in the chest, spit out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.

But he didn't care at all. He endured the pain in his chest, hurriedly got up and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" After that, he stood up and stumbled away.

Xiao Bai looked around, walked to the stone steps on the side, and sat down directly without caring about the yellow sand on it.

He waved to Qing Lin who was standing there and pointed to the side next to him.

Seeing this, Qing Lin knew that the young man in black was calling her over. After thinking about it, she realized that this young man was the first person who helped her when she was beaten since she grew up. She was no longer so scared and walked to him in small steps.

"Come and sit next to me. Why are you standing there like an idiot?"

Qing Lin had no choice but to sit down on the stone steps next to him. Xiao Bai turned his head to look at the little girl who was a little shabby. There were some patches on her green dress, but it was well sewn. It was obvious that the person who had mended it was very attentive.

"What are you holding in your hands? You won't let go even if you are beaten?" Xiao Bai asked curiously when he saw that she was still holding the paper bag with both hands.

"Dumplings!" Qing Lin lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

Xiao Bai saw that there was dust on the bag, but the little girl was still holding it tightly, which showed that the buns in the bag were very important to her.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This girl was a hybrid of the snake people and the human race. Originally, the snake people and the human race could not produce offspring, but there was a small chance that they would give birth to babies. Such babies usually did not live beyond two years old, but Qing Lin was an exception.

She was eleven years old this year, so she was regarded as a curse. Because the snake people and humans were enemies on this border, Qing Lin also bore the discrimination and disgust of both sides. In fact, she was just an innocent little girl.

"Can you treat me to a bun?" Xiao Bai said with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't respond, he teased, "Why, you can't bear to part with it?"

Qing Lin heard this and felt a little anxious. She was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly shook her head timidly at him, "It's dirty!"

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the surface is dirty, as long as the heart is clean!" Xiao Bai said meaningfully.

Qing Lin was a little confused after hearing this, as if she understood, but it seemed that she didn't. However, seeing that he insisted, she had to carefully open the paper package and pick the one that looked the cleanest from the three buns, and handed it to him a little embarrassedly.

She had no money on her, otherwise she wanted to buy fresh ones for the young man who was kind to her.

After handing it to Xiao Bai, Qing Lin saw Hai Bodong on the side again, thought about it, and picked the one with the least dust from the two, and handed it to him a little timidly.

"Grandpa, do you want it?"

Hai Bodong looked at the girl in front of him who was expectant and a little timid, and felt a little helpless. He didn't know what Xiao Bai was doing, and couldn't help looking at him.

Xiao Bai seemed to ignore him and cleaned the sand off the buns. He thought to himself: "It depends on whether you, an old man, can catch the good fortune that has been handed to you!"

In the end, Hai Bodong took the bun from Qing Lin and sat on the steps.

If it was an ordinary little girl, he would not bother to take the bun, but Xiao Bai obviously treated this little girl differently, so he had to follow suit.

The three of them sat on the steps by the roadside and ate without paying attention to the eyes of the people passing by.

Xiao Bai and Hai Bodong completely ignored what those people thought of them, while Qing Lin kept her head down and didn't look at those people.

She was very happy today because finally someone didn't despise her and ate with her. This was the first time someone was willing to eat with her since her mother left.

The buns were covered with sand and dust, but she thought they were especially delicious.

Although the two people next to her had eaten two days of her rations and would be hungry for the next two days, she didn't care.

Xiao Bai felt that the girl next to her was a little more lively than before, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go! You buy me some buns, and I'll buy you a meal! How about that?" Xiao Bai looked at the little girl and smiled.

Qing Lin shook her head. She could feel that this young master was a good person, the best person she had ever met, but she couldn't go.

Her buns were very valuable to her, but to this young master, they were something he wouldn't even look at on weekdays. It was already very good that he didn't despise them, and she didn't dare to ask for more.
