It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

The little boy took the money, licked his finger, and counted it.

After counting, I couldn't suppress the smile on my face.

If I get just one more ticket, I can buy a bag of milk powder for my little sister.

He put the money away, smiled, and nodded at Yunli, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word since I've taken your money. When the train arrives, I'll have my older brother personally escort you onto the train."

Yun Li frowned. "Send her to the car? Shouldn't you be telling her the method?"

"Hey, come home with me first. The train to D City you need to go takes more than an hour. We'll come back later."

Yun Li knew when the car would arrive, and after thinking about it, she didn't refuse and went home with him.

On the way back, the little boy introduced himself. His name was Pang Jizu, and he had only a mother and a little sister at home.

"Didn't you say you had an older brother?"

Yun Li hadn't forgotten what he'd said about having his older brother see her off to the car.

Having reached the little boy's doorstep, he first called out, "Mom, I'm home."

When the door opened, she turned to Yunli and said, "That man isn't my biological brother, he's just a neighbor I'm quite close to."

The door opened, and it was opened by a woman who looked very frail.

"Son, you're back just in time. Mom has just finished cooking."

Only after the woman finished speaking did she notice Yun Li. She looked at Pang Jizu with questioning eyes and asked, "Who is this?"

Pang Jizu walked inside, the woman stepped aside, and Yun Li followed him in.

After Yun Li came in, the woman closed the courtyard gate. Only then did Pang Jizu introduce her to his mother perfunctorily, "This is a little girl from the next street. She came to play at our house for a while."

"It's time to eat, Mom will serve her a bowl too."

He had just earned 16.7 yuan from her, but he was still willing to give her a bowl of porridge.

The woman seemed indecisive. After hearing her son's words, she simply said "oh" twice and went into the kitchen, where she ladled out a bowl of rice porridge with only a few grains of rice and placed it on the table.

When Yun Li and Pang Jizu came in, Pang Jizu pushed one of the bowls towards Yun Li, indicating that she should eat it.

Yun Li didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp without even using chopsticks, and left the empty bowl on the table.

Pang Jizu looked at the empty bowl and his lips twitched. He was clearly only three years old, so how could he drink a bowl of porridge and exude such heroic spirit?

Thinking about it, he stopped savoring it slowly and picked up the bowl, drinking it all in one gulp.

I felt a little embarrassed after finishing the drink. It was so stingy to serve such watery porridge when I invited people to dinner.

I was thinking of buying some rice later so I could treat her to a nice meal tonight, but then I remembered she was leaving soon, so I decided against it.

While waiting for the car to arrive, Pang Jizu introduced Yun Li to his precious, incredibly cute six-month-old sister.

"Hey, look, isn't my little sister super cute?"

Pang Jizu stood by the bed, looking at the giggling baby on the bed with a face full of doting affection.

Yun Li glanced at the baby girl on the bed. She was thin and had small eyes, and wasn't very pretty, but she still complimented her, "Yes, she is very cute."

A simple, ordinary word of agreement made Pang Jizu extremely happy.

It's obvious this kid will be a siscon in the future.

She also told Yunli many interesting stories about her younger sister.

When it was almost time, they took Yunli to a small courtyard next door.

He went inside, and Yun Li waited outside.

A short while later, Pang Jizu and a young man came out together. The young man looked Yun Li up and down, nodded to Pang Jizu, and then walked towards the train station.

Pang Jizu and Yun Li raised their eyebrows. "It's all settled. Let's go."

Although Yun Li did not enter the courtyard, she heard everything they said.

Pang Jizu gave the young man three yuan and asked him to help her get on the bus.

Neither of them said how they would deliver it.

If she hadn't been able to hear their conversation, she would have thought they were trying to kidnap her based on their silent interaction.

What she didn't expect was that their promise to send her to the car would be done in that way.

The car arrived about twenty minutes late. Just as it was about to leave, Yun Li was forced into the car through the window by the boy's neighbor.

Yun Li: "..." looked completely bewildered.

You got up here just like that?

The car started moving slowly, and Yun Li swayed slightly, when she heard a little boy thanking her from outside the window.

"Thank you for your generosity, dwarf sister."

Yun Li looked out the window and saw the little boy leaning against the neighbor, laughing happily.

If Yun Liruo still didn't realize she'd been tricked at this point, she'd be incredibly foolish.

"Hey, kid, have you been abandoned?"

The middle-aged woman who was talking was sitting by the window that Yun Li had been shoved through; she had just lent a hand to him.

They assumed that because they didn't have time to get on the bus, they pushed the child in through the window first, and then came in themselves.

But the other two older children didn't come up, and given how thin and weak this child was, she guessed that she had been abandoned.

The others also looked at Yun Li with sympathy.

An older man stood up and grabbed Yun Li, saying, "Those two guys who threw you are your brothers, right? I'll take you to the train police. They'll have someone take you home at the next stop."

Upon hearing this, Yun Li forcefully shook off the older man and disappeared in a flash.

Although Yun Li ran away, someone still informed the train police, who then searched the train carriage by carriage.

Even the human traffickers on the bus, upon hearing that a little girl who had been abandoned by her brother was on board, quietly began their search.

Yun Li, who was being searched for, ran to an empty sleeper car. Instead of climbing onto the bed, she squatted in the corner and remained motionless, using her mental energy to shield herself.

On the moving train, she dared not enter the space, because when she came out, she would not still be on the train, but only on the ground in that location.

Fortunately, the distance between City C and City D is not too far; it only takes four hours to get there.

As soon as the train stopped, she jumped out of the sleeper car window and headed straight for Menzhong County.

Two days later, she arrived in Menzhong County.

Having witnessed the bustling city, arriving in the desolate Menzhong County evokes a sense of bleakness.

A cry came from ahead. Yun Li released his mental energy and saw a familiar little girl lying motionless on the ground, her leg still bleeding.

There was also a familiar-looking woman crying out.

There was also an oxcart nearby, and an old man stood next to it, looking helpless, anxious and worried.

It's obvious what happened; the little girl was hit by an oxcart.

There were five or six people gathered around, one of whom said to the weeping woman with a look of exasperation, "Sister, stop crying. Quickly put your daughter on the oxcart and take her to the hospital."

The old man nodded repeatedly, his hands and feet trembling as he moved the things on the oxcart to the side.

After being reminded by this person, the woman realized what was happening and said, "Yes, yes, take her to the hospital."

As she spoke, she carefully picked up her daughter and placed her on the oxcart.

As the oxcart drove away, Yun Li remembered that the mother and daughter were the ones who had given her a sweet potato.

After standing there for a while, he took a step and followed.
