Chapter 30: Is it really him?
"Brother Shen, please wait for me a moment,” Yu Meng suddenly stopped as he passed a small alley, speaking to Shen Luo.
"Please do as you wish, Brother Yu,” Shen Luo said.
Yu Meng quickly walked into the alley, his figure soon disappearing within.
Standing and examining his surroundings, Shen Luo pondered over the various things he had observed so far, considering how to bring up his queries once they arrived at Yu Meng’s house.
"Big brother, could you spare me some food? I haven’t eaten for two days,” A crisp voice broke Shen Luo’s reverie, coming from beside him.
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Luo turned to see a little girl of around seven or eight shyly standing not far away.
The girl was dressed in a dirty hemp short shirt full of patches. As the shirt was oversized, her arms and legs were exposed. She held out a broken bowl with both hands, her gaze filled with desperation as she looked up.
"I don’t have any food or silver on me…” Shen Luo felt a softness in his heart under the little girl’s gaze. He reached into his clothes, pretending to fumble around, indicating that he didn’t have anything.
"What happened, Brother Shen?” Yu Meng’s voice came as he briskly emerged from the alley.
