Chapter 6 The Orphans of the Kingdom of Bo

After a few days of vacation, Hua Chu went to Bo's Kingdom in advance. It was originally planned to go to the Kingdom of Bo, but it was suspended because of Cardo's invitation. Last time I went there, I just turned around the edge because of Zhishui. This time, Hua Chu finally had time to go and have a look.

Stepping on the wharf, Hua Chu obviously felt that the town exuded a smell of decadence. Hua Chu even thought that he had returned to the unpopular ruins in the desert.

Entering into the town, all adults, men and women, and few people raise their heads to walk. Almost all of them bow their heads and go in a hurry. They don't want to stay too much on the street, making the town that is not many people seem more empty. On the contrary, on both sides of the street are an amazing number of children who are eager to find a job and children who are hiding in the corner and shrinking to beg. The youngest looks only two or three years old.

Looking at Hua Chu's dress, everyone avoided it from afar, making Hua Chu surrounded by a vacuum area. Suddenly, a little girl stood up, trotted behind Hua Chu and pulled Hua Chu's robe.

"Give it to me." The little girl stretched out her hands, but her tattered clothes had a sweet smile. Hua Chu squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the little girl's head, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and put it in the little girl's hand. The little girl's thin hands clutched the candy, as if she had got some extremely precious treasure, and then said to Hua Chu, "Thank you, big brother." Then he ran away.

Hua Chu's heart moved and followed quietly. The little girl ran to a corner where the same little girls gathered. The child who got the candy said to them happily, "I have something to eat. Come on." Several little girls gathered together, and that happy look made Hua Chu a little sad.

At this time, several boys who were also gathered together came up. Seeing this, the girls hurriedly grasped the movement of their hands, and someone shouted, "They are here to rob us again."

Just as a slightly tall boy was about to reach out to grab the little girl who got candy from Hua Chu's hand, Hua Chu stood in the middle, gently picked up the little girl, and asked the boy holding his robe, "Are you hungry?"

The boys swallowed their saliva. At this time, the little girl was surprised and said, "It's the big brother who gave me candy." The boys stopped and wanted to run away. Hua Chu said, "I have a lot of food, and there is no one who ran away."

Hunger overcame fear, and all the boys stayed tremblingly.

"Big brother, don't hit them. They didn't mean to bully us. Everyone is very hungry. Seeing that the boys were afraid, the little girl hurriedly pleaded with Hua Chu for the boy who was bullying them just now.

"What's your name?" Hua Chu asked the little girl in her arms, and the little girl replied crisply, "My name is Xiaohua, because I like flowers."

"Xiaohua, you took it yourself, didn't you? Don't worry, my brother won't bully them. Come on, all." With that, Hua Chu sat on a stone with Xiaohua in his arms, then unpacked his backpack and took out some simple food he was carrying.

"Don't grab them, one by one. Girls first, boys in the back. Well, pick it yourself." Hua Chu put everything by her side and let the children pick it up by themselves. Because there were not many things, each child only took one of them, and it was quickly divided.

Hua Chu picked up a piece of chocolate and tore it open, and handed it to Xiao Hua. Xiaohua smelled the seductive fragrance and couldn't help drooling. Looking at Hua Chu. With the encouragement of Hua Chu, Xiao Hua gently took a small bite.

"You don't have parents, do you?" Hua Chu looked at the unsatisfied children and asked. All the children showed sad and sad expressions, even the little flowers in their arms.

"You haven't had anything to eat?" Hua Chu asked again, and Xiaohua said, "No. At first, the adults were very good. At that time, although they were not full, they still had something to eat. But recently, the adults have become strange. They often get hungry and have nothing to eat for us. Xiaomei and Xiaozhu died because they had nothing to eat. Brother, will we also starve to death because we don't have food?

However, five or six-year-old Xiaohua seems to know her future situation very well, but she is not afraid at all. Instead, she said with some regret: "If only I could have a full meal before starve to death. If only there was meat. Ah, am I too greedy?"

"It's all Cardo's fault for that bully. It turned out that everyone was not rich, but they could still live on, but when Cardo came, the people in the town became poorer and poorer. My mother died because she had no money to treat her illness. My father overturned and died in the sea in order to go to the mainland to buy medicine for my mother. Everything is caused by Cardo. The oldest boy suddenly became excited and said with tears under his teeth.

"Come with me." Hua Chu couldn't be cruel and didn't care about the life or death of these children. She stood up and said to the children. Although the children didn't know anything, they still kept up. In a bay not far from the town, Hua Chu found several uninhabited old houses and went in. He took a look and thought it was not bad, so he said to the children behind him, "Let's clean this place first. Now I assign tasks. The girls cleaned up the house, threw away the dust and some small debris, and left a room. The boy left two to help, and then three people came with me. The rest went to pick up firewood, the more the better.

Holding Xiaohua and taking three boys, Hua Chu went to the bay, put down Xiaohua, then walked on the water in the boy's envious and worshipful eyes, took out a few clay bombs and threw them into the water, and then said gently, "Blam." A few muffled noises and flashes came from under the deep water, and the calm water began to fluctuate, but this wave had no effect on the flowers.

The big fish that blew up and floated from the deep water were thrown to the shore, and several children quickly folded the branches to string up the fish. When Hua Chu returned to the shore, the three boys had already dressed up the fish and stood up with some difficulty on their backs.

"Xiaohua, I can't hug you next. Let's walk back together." With that, Hua Chu took the heaviest tails and the children's tall and tall fish from the children and walked back with them.

The cleaning of the house continues. Seeing that Hua Chu and others brought back so many fish, all the children cheered. Putting down the fish, Hua Chu picked a few healthy boys and walked to the town with Hua Chu in his arms.

The ingredients in the town are small and expensive, and there is nothing to choose, so I have to take some at will and let a child take them. Then I went to the rice shop, bought a bag of rice, went to the appliance store, bought enough tableware and cooking utensils, and led a group of children out of the town. When Hua Chu returned to the house, the children had already cleaned up the house and were getting together to discuss how to make these fish delicious.

After giving life and cooking to a few children who understand, Hua Chu took off his robe and backpack, took out a handful of Ku Wu and began to kill fish.

There are too many fish, which is enough for these people to eat for a few days. Hua Chu took the children to marinate the fish with salt. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Bo is in the sea. Everything is lacking, but there is no lack of salt. After spending a lot of salt, a large pot is finally marinated.

Because the bitterness is too sharp, and it is difficult to master without practice, Hua Chu also contracted all the processes while directing the children to do it. With the children's expectation and joint efforts, a not-rich but absolutely sufficient dinner was finally ready.

Looking at the devoured children one by one, Hua Chu suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, which was more fulfilling and more satisfying than defeating his opponent in all the previous battles.
