C30 Despondent Wandering(1)

B City was a bustling and busy city. Even at night, B City was full of people. Colored neon lights flashed brilliantly, and the LED display outside the building lit up the night as brightly as day. Night life, full of happiness and the atmosphere of busy life, everything is so yearning.0

Under the bridge, Soong Shiyan hugged Xiaohu and sat down in a corner. After two days of light rain, the weather turned cold. They had nothing to live on, so they stayed under the bridge. The only thing they could do was nestle against each other to keep warm.

That night, Soong Shiyan and Xiaohu left under the cover of night and travelled westward. On the way, she had stolen a suit of clothes from a passing village and changed into it, covering her terrible wounds. Her originally jet black hair that reached her waist was now no longer as long as her ears. It was as though it was a dry, yellow hay that was messy like a bird's nest. As for her originally white and tender skin, it had turned dark from the flames. Looking at her reflection in the water, she almost couldn't recognize herself. She thought, even if she was standing in front of Yinn Haoming and Yan Duoya, perhaps they wouldn't believe that this incomparably destitute and crazy woman in front of them, was the once noble and respected Miss Soong Family.

In the past two days, Soong Shiyan had been busy fleeing for her life, and didn't have the leisure to think about anything else. It was probably because of her pitiful appearance, as well as the fact that she brought along a young child. This made people feel pity for her. Therefore, when the kind people along the way saw Soong Shiyan and Xiaohu, they were willing to give her some food and clothes. In the beginning, Soong Shiyan had refused in her heart in order to maintain the little dignity she had left. But Xiaohu? He was just a child, still so young, how could she just let him starve with her?

Besides, her so-called dignity had vanished into thin air in that nightmare, hadn't it? Presently, she only wanted to live, only for one day, to be able to take revenge for her father and the others. When she was about to lose her life, what was the use of keeping such worthless dignity? Therefore, along the way, Soong Shiyan also accepted the alms from those people and disguised herself. That was why she was able to avoid Yinn Haoming's pursuit with Xiaohu and successfully arrived at City B. She had always been a person that distinguished between kindness and hatred. She firmly remembered those who had helped her in her despair and secretly swore in her heart that she would repay them when she took back everything that belonged to her.

When Xiaohu accidentally touched Soong Shiyan's body, he immediately caused her to gasp in pain.

"Ms Soong, what's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? " Xiaohu asked worriedly when he heard Soong Shiyan's pained cry. He quickly retracted his hand and stood obediently at the side.

"Xiaohu, sister is fine. Look, there's an old man over there playing the violin! "You can go over first. Big sister will come over to find you in a bit, okay?" Soong Shiyan didn't want Xiaohu to see her full body full of wounds, so she found an excuse to push him away.

After Xiaohu left, Soong Shiyan carefully took off her clothes and looked at the burns on her body. In order to leave City A as soon as possible, she didn't rest for a moment and brought Xiaohu along. She didn't have time to treat her wounds at all. Right now, she was penniless. Even eating with Xiaohu became a problem, so how could she buy medicine?

The wounds on her body were already beginning to fester and yellow pus oozed out, making it difficult to look straight at her. The only thing to be thankful for was that the weather had been cool recently, so the wound had not been infected. Otherwise, her life would have been in danger by now.

In the end, Soong Shiyan had no choice but to put down her clothes. These wounds would form scabs sooner or later. Soong Shiyan silently consoled herself in her heart. As long as he could endure the pain he felt today, everything would become better. Soong Shiyan let out a long sigh. She looked at Xiaohu, who was standing far away with a haggard face. Embarrassment and self-blame lingered in her heart. Now, she didn't even know where she should go from here. Xiaohu was still so young, so he had to suffer as he wandered around with her.

"Ms Soong!" Xiaohu ran towards Soong Shiyan excitedly. His tiny hands were gripping something tightly. It seemed that he treasured what he was holding very much.

Soong Shiyan finally came back to her senses when she heard Xiaohu calling for her. Looking at Xiaohu running towards her, she worriedly shouted, "Xiaohu, be careful of your feet, don't fall down!"

Xiaohu ran to Soong Shiyan, panting and covered in sweat. He stretched out his small hand and slowly opened his palm. His face was filled with hope. On his palm, there was a bright-colored candy.

"Ms Soong, look, this was given to me by that big brother." Xiaohu pointed at a man not far away. Then, he said to Soong Shiyan, "Ms Soong, eat!" With that, he put the candy in his hand into Soong Shiyan's hand.

"Xiaohu, this is a candy that big brother gave you. Why did you give it to sister instead?" Soong Shiyan looked at the direction Xiaohu was pointing at and saw that the man in the distance didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. She then retracted her gaze and said to Xiaohu with a smile.

"But, Ms Soong, you don't even have a smile on your face. The lack of a smile on her face meant that this person was unhappy. Xiaohu hopes that Ms Soong will be as happy as she was before after eating this piece of candy. " Xiaohu looked at Soong Shiyan and said with a childish smile.

Soong Shiyan's heart turned sour once again. She put the candy back into Xiaohu's hand and said to him with a smile, "Xiaohu, sister doesn't like candy. However, if Xiaohu eats the candy, then sister will be happy! "

"Here you go!" A hand suddenly appeared in front of Soong Shiyan's eyes, a piece of candy on the palm of her hand.

Soong Shiyan looked at the bony hand in front of her and looked up in surprise. The man in front of him had an ordinary appearance, and carried a trace of elegance. His unsmiling appearance gave others a sense of steadiness.

"I'll give this candy to you. This way, you and your little brother can both eat it." The man looked at Soong Shiyan and continued.

Soong Shiyan looked up at the man in front of her. She didn't know why he was doing this, so she hesitated.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. I just saw you and your brother staying here for a day and didn't seem to have eaten anything yet. Coincidentally, I still have two candies in my pocket, so I might as well give them to you and your brother. " The man explained with a smile.

Soong Shiyan glanced at Xiaohu. His eyes were fixed on the candy in the man's hand. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. How could Soong Shiyan not know? Actually, Xiaohu really wanted to eat this candy as well. However, he would rather give her to him because he didn't have a smile on his face. After a moment of hesitation, Soong Shiyan finally reached out and took the candy from the man's hand.

"Thank you!" Soong Shiyan looked at the man and thanked him softly.

"You're welcome!" Since we are all living under this bridge, we should help each other. " The man scratched his head and said with a smile.

Therefore, Soong Shiyan made her first friend in B City, Cen Mu.
