Kongjue couldn’t bear to see her worry about these things at such a young age.
Hence, he placed his hand gently on her shoulder.
“They’ll get better. The imperial court has already sent troops over. These people who are sick will be treated soon.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently. Her voice was soft and her black eyes were glistening.
“They’ll definitely get better!” She would also try her best to help!
It was soon evening.
The setting sun was like blood, splashing on this originally calm and peaceful village.
Smoke was ignited in every family as people started cooking.
During the day, under Gu Nuo’er’s encouragement, everyone’s hopes for survival were rekindled.
Gu Nuo’er sat on a small stool in front of the door.
She held a small bowl filled with porridge and ate it together with pickled vegetables.
Auntie Yu’s son saw that Gu Nuo’er was eating so happily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe, who originally had no appetite, also sat at the side and ate until his face was covered in rice grains.
When Auntie Yu saw this, she smiled gently. “The two of you, eat slowly. There’s more in the pot.’
Gu Nuo’er burped. “I’m not eating anymore. Thank you, Auntie. I’m very full!”
At this moment, Kongjue walked into the courtyard from outside.
Just now, he went to help the family next door again.
He stood by the well and waved at Gu Nuo’er.
The child put down the bowl and ran over.
Under the setting sun, her big eyes sparkled like stars.
“Monk older brother, what’s the matter?”
Kongjue glanced at the boy behind her.
He took out a boiled egg that someone had given him from his sleeve.
“Hurry up and eat it. Someone gave it to me,” Kongjue said softly.
Gu Nuo’er blinked. “Older brother, I’m not hungry. You can eat it. I just drank porridge and I’m full!”
As she spoke, she touched her stomach.
Actually, the child wasn’t full at all.
In the past, be it in the palace or outside,
Ye Siming, Gu Yihan, Noble Consort Qiao, and the others had never starved her.
Fresh minced meat and delicious sugar cakes could be obtained easily.
However, Gu Nuo’er was not a pampered child. She obediently said that she was full from the bowl of porridge.
Kongjue knew that she was sensible.
He said softly, “You should eat it. I’m a monk and don’t eat meat and fish.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted.
If one didn’t eat, one wouldn’t have the strength.
The monk older brother had been so busy these past few days that he had lost a little weight.
There were also dark circles under his eyes.
The child sighed silently.
However, she grabbed the hard-boiled egg and turned to run toward Auntie Yu’s son.
“Young brother, the monk older brother found an egg for us. I’ll peel it and share it with you!”
Kongjue was stunned.
Although he claimed to be a cultivator with a clear heart and few desires,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the moment he received the egg, he still had selfish thoughts.
He only wanted to leave good things for his sister.
This was an instinct he had developed at some point.
If Buddha were to find out, he would probably blame him for having unclean thoughts.
However, even though he knew that it would offend a taboo, Kongjue didn’t care.
He only wanted Gu Nuo’er to fill her stomach.
She was still so young.
However, when he saw Gu Nuo’er openly sharing it with Auntie Yu’s son,
Kongjue felt ashamed.
The boy was very happy to have an egg to eat.
Gu Nuo’er ate her half of the egg yolk.
She held the egg white in her small hand and ran to Kongjue.
“Monk older brother, eat this. This isn’t egg yolk. It’s not considered breaking the rules. Eat it!”
Kongjue refused many times, but he eventually couldn’t hold up against the child’s enthusiasm.
In the end, he could only listen to her and eat the egg white.
At this moment, cries and smashing sounds came from the end of the village!
