(two in one chapter)

"Pfft——" the little girl rolled her eyes, "Please, I'm such a dirty poor man, it's fine to take out a silver moon once in a while, and even argue that a certain noble lord rewarded me."

"If I go shopping with a handful of gold moons, a fool will know that I stole it! So, your bag of money is useless to me, not only useless, but also a deadly thing! When I opened the wallet Almost frightened to death, I searched for you all over the street, but I found you."

Solandelle was amused: "You are so smart!"

"You're not smart, why are you messing around in this street?" The little girl had an old-fashioned look on her face, she rubbed her nose, and said in a weak voice, "Hey, for the sake of returning your wallet, don't go to police. Is it okay to report the case?"

Solandelle nodded: "Okay, I won't report the case."

The little girl secretly glanced at the wallet in her hand, opened and closed her mouth, seemed to be hesitating, and finally muttered: "Then it's not too much trouble, right? I've been running for so long anyway."

Solandelle took out a silver moon from her wallet and handed it over: "Here~"

The little girl quickly took it, and skillfully hid it in the deepest part of her clothes, like a little mouse hiding cheese.

With this one silver moon, if you live frugally, you can buy half a year's worth of rations.

"I'm leaving." The little girl didn't dare to stay for long and left in a hurry.

"Wait a minute!" Solandelle chased after her.

"Woo..." the little girl suddenly sat down on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks, and sobbed timidly, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to steal your wallet. My mother is seriously ill. I want to treat her. That's why, uh, don't report the crime."

Solandelle knelt down, patted her on the head lightly, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, I said I wouldn't report it."

The little girl's crying stopped abruptly, and she let out a lukewarm "oh", her expression changed so quickly that it was jaw-dropping, she stood up and patted the ashes on her trouser legs, a little puzzled: "Then why are you stopping me?"

Solandelle said kindly, "May I be your friend?"

"Friend." The little girl's expression was very strange, and she subconsciously protected Yinyue's pocket: "You are a royal princess, why do you want to be friends with me?"

Solandelle put her hands behind her back, drew circles on the ground with the tip of her shoes, and smiled sweetly: "It doesn't matter who you are when you make friends~"

The little girl didn't know what Solandelle was thinking, she looked uncertain for a while, and simply didn't speak.

"By the way!" Solandelle suddenly remembered something, and her expression became very worried, "You just said that your mother was seriously ill, so you came out to steal the wallet. How much do you need? Let's take your mother to the doctor as soon as possible, and I will give you money." Come out!"

The little girl clicked her tongue, waved her hand and said, "I was afraid that you would report the crime, and I deliberately showed pity."

Solandelle couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and there was some blame in her tone: "You cried so badly, I was scared, how could you make up lies about your mother's health?"

"I'm not lying, my mother was indeed ill, but she died last year. According to the doctor, the illness she had was called a cold, and it was caused by too much cold anyway." When the little girl talked about her mother's death, her expression Very indifferent, as if I have long been used to it.

Solandelle tilted her head puzzledly: "A cold is not a serious illness. Pick some herbs such as cinnamon sticks, scallions, burdock seeds, and chrysanthemums to fry, and eat more sour fruits such as oranges and grapes. Take a good rest in bed, and if you don’t need to take some pills prepared by the doctor, you will get better easily, did the doctor make a mistake?"

The little girl sneered: "That's you aristocrats! You are a royal princess, lying in a warm bed when you are sick, eating all kinds of rare treasures, servants come and leave with a wave, and there are special doctors to see you .”

"What do we have? A shabby quilt at home, rain leaking from the roof, wind leaking from the windows, half life if you get a minor illness. Oranges and grapes~ Heh, we can't afford things like fruit, so we can't afford them. I’m willing to buy some when the festival is on sale.”

Solandelle was speechless for a moment, and only then did she realize how superficial what she just said was.

She asked in a low voice, "Then is there anyone else in your family?"

The little girl shrugged and said calmly: "No, I haven't seen my father since I was a child. I heard that he ran away when my mother was pregnant. After my mother died, I was alone. Oh yes, I still need a dog at home. I won’t tell you anymore, I have to quickly take back the leftovers I found and feed it, or it will starve.”

Solandelle quickly followed the little girl's pace: "I, I, can I go to your house together?"

"Oh, why do you have to go to my house? It must not be as big as yours. What's there to see?" The little girl held her forehead helplessly and sighed, "Forget it, the legs are on your body, come if you want. "

"Yeah!" Solandelle nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

The two walked further north one after another, chatting without saying a word along the way, because they were similar in age, they gradually became acquainted.

Not long after, the little girl brought Solandelle to her "home".

Solandelle originally thought that this "home" was a small house, or at worst a suite with a bedroom and a living room.

But it turns out that affluence limits her imagination.

The little girl's home is in an abandoned construction site in Beicheng. She managed to find a cubicle surrounded by three walls without a door. She covered it with a cloth stolen from a shop, and it was considered a door, which was enough to shelter her from the wind. shelter from the rain.

The "house" is very small, and the only furniture is the table and bed picked up from the garbage dump, which are full of signs of decay and dilapidated.

The table was full of cloth bags filled with grain, but they were all empty. A few flies were buzzing around, but they couldn't find a single grain of wheat.

The quilt on the bed is a big quilt that the little girl sewed out of cotton and fabric discarded from the factory.

Solandelle was born in the royal palace filled with the fragrance of laurel flowers. Surrounded by the musty smell at this time, she subconsciously covered her nose.

The little girl said indifferently: "Here, this is my home. I told you that there is nothing to see."

Solandelle asked blankly: "Do you usually live in this kind of place?"

The little girl shrugged: "I'm not bad, I barely have a place to live, at least I won't be caught in the rain when I sleep, I'm luckier than many people."

Solandelle looked around worriedly: "You don't even have a door here, aren't you afraid of bad guys coming in?"

"It's okay, I'm good at fighting! A beggar sneaked into my house before and tried to plot against me. I poked my eyes with a fork, and no one dared to come again after that!" The little girl put her dirty little hands I put it in my mouth and blew out the whistle vigorously, and I became more excited, "What's more, there is the 'Sun King' protecting me!"

"Wow woof——" Not long after the whistle fell, a big yellow dog came in from the outside following the barking from far to near. It is very spiritual at first glance.

As soon as it saw the stranger Solandelle, it immediately pricked up its ears vigilantly.

"Sun King, it's okay, this is my sister's new friend~" The little girl clapped her hands, "Go, play with her."

"Woof~" The big yellow dog was very human, and immediately lost his guard. He threw himself on Solandelle's waist, leaned his nose close to her body, and kept licking her face.

"Don't stop, it's so itchy!" A dog's licking would not be judged as an attack, so the string had no effect, and Solandelle couldn't dodge it, so she was at a loss for a while.

The little girl was amused by this scene, and said carelessly: "Don't hide, the more you hide, the happier it will be, and the more it will attack you."

Solandelle wanted to cry but had no tears: "Then what should I do!"

"Hoo~" The little girl whistled again, "Sun King, listen to this sister."

Big Yellow Dog: "Wow!"

The little girl smiled and said, "Okay, you pet its head and tell it to sit down."

Solandelle stretched out her hand to touch the dog's head, but she accidentally touched the dog's nose. The cold touch made her shrink back, but she still mustered up the courage to touch the big yellow dog's head: "Sit down!"

"Wow!" The big yellow dog sat on the ground, wagging its tail obediently.

"Wow, so smart!" Solandelle is actually not afraid of dogs, she was just frightened by the big yellow dog's enthusiasm just now, and now seeing that the big yellow dog is so obedient, she directly knelt down and rubbed its dog's head, the more she rubbed the dog's head, the happier she became.

The rhubarb dog is also very cooperative, rubbing and rubbing at will.

Solandelle rubbed it, and suddenly felt something was wrong. She opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wait, what did you call it just now? You called it the Sun King???"

The little girl blinked: "Yes, it's called the Sun King, what's wrong?"

"You are blasphemy!" Solandelle was terrified.

The little girl looked puzzled: "What kind of god is it? It's just a name."

Solandelle first murmured a few prayers in a low voice, begging for forgiveness from the gods, and then said worriedly: "The Sun King is a god, if he knows that he has the same name as a dog, he will definitely be angry."

"Tch." The little girl gave a short laugh, walked over and rubbed the dog's head casually: "He has already been ranked among the Nine Gods and is regarded as the leader of the gods. It would be too stingy to argue with a dog." right?"

Solandelle was speechless for a moment, touched the back of her head, and muttered: "It seems to make sense. But it always feels weird."

The little girl picked up the big yellow dog and pushed it into Solandelle's arms: "Okay, don't talk about these boring things, come and play with the Sun King."

Although petting the dog is fun, the taste here is too much to bear, Solandelle quickly found an excuse to slip away: "I'm hungry, I invite you to eat!"

"Hey, okay, let's go!" For a little girl who hasn't finished her last meal, the word "eat" is undoubtedly full of temptation.

Before leaving, the little girl took out a piece of stolen oatmeal bread from her pocket and threw it under the Sun King's paws. Then she opened the curtain and jumped outside, waving at him, "Hey, take care of the house, eat some bread first." Stomach, wait for my sister to come back in the evening, and then I will bring you something delicious."

"Woof!" The Sun King had already smelled the scent, and was so greedy that he was drooling. He lay down outside the door with the bread in his mouth, gobbling it up and looking around with his ears up, like a pious guard.

Solandelle originally wanted to call Lorna together to meet new friends.

But Lorna is obviously the old problem of Lu Chi, and she ran to some remote corner, but she couldn't be found.

In desperation, Solandelle could only play with the little girl by herself.

The North City is a slum area, and there are few clean and hygienic restaurants. Solandelle hired a carriage and went with the little girl to the most prosperous South City, which is also a veritable wealthy area in Twilight City.

Upon arriving at the destination, the little girl was dumbfounded when she saw Solandelle gave the coachman a silver moon: "Hey, this carriage is so expensive?! Didn't it just sit for half an hour? Want a silver moon???"

Solandelle took the little girl by the hand and got out of the car, and said with a smile, "Five copper moons would be enough, but I don't have any change, so I just gave it to the silver moon."

The little girl was dumbfounded: "Then you ask him to give you change. I remember that 1 silver moon can be exchanged for 100 copper moons, right? You ask him to give you 95."

"Forget it, so many copper moons, how heavy it is to carry." Solandelle didn't mean to take change at all.

"No! How can you be such a prodigal?!" The little girl stood in front of the carriage and angrily stretched out her hand to the driver, "95 copper moons, change!"

This kind of little girl who is as dirty as a beggar, of course, is not in the eyes of the coachman, but the other girl is well-dressed, fair-skinned and beautiful, and she can take out a silver moon at will. She is probably the daughter of some nobleman, and he dare not provoke.

Soon, in front of the little girl, the coachman counted out 95 copper moons one by one, honestly put the change in a bag, and handed it over.

The little girl put the money bag into Solandelle's arms and said angrily, "Here, take it, I don't care how much money your family has, I don't like the behavior of wasting money! 95 copper moons are enough. I have been frugal for half a year!"

Seeing the little girl with a serious expression, Solandelle felt tender pity in her heart, and said without thinking: "I will send you money every month in the future. You save it and use it slowly, oh yes! And the Sun King For the sake of it, I am also together."

"No." The little girl refused without thinking.

Solandelle thought that the little girl was embarrassed to take it out of face, so she added: "It's okay, we are friends, I should help"

"It's not a matter of more money or less money." The little girl interrupted her directly, waving her hand and said, "I'm not a beggar, and I don't take money from other people's charity."

Solandelle looked strange: "You have become a thief, why are you still struggling with this?"

"That's different! One is earned from your own labor, and the other is given to you by others. There is a big difference! I stole money from you, so I took it according to my ability! But if I take money from you all day long, I will be punished." You keep it, so what's the difference between it and a pet dog?" The little girl looked a little proud when she said this.

Solandelle was speechless. It was the first time she heard that "stealing" was considered "labour".

"Ah chirp—" As she walked, Solandelle covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and sneezed.

"What's the matter with you?" the little girl asked.

Solandelle wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and said pitifully, "I'm more sensitive to smells. If I stay in an unfamiliar smell for too long, I'll sneeze like I do now."

The little girl rolled her eyes and said in a sarcastic tone deliberately: "This is the rich man's disease of wealth! I have never heard of this disease in Beicheng. For us poor people, getting sick once is equivalent to the disease in the past few years." Baigan, so I don’t dare to get sick at all. If we are like you, sneezing on anything we smell, we will die.”
