Chapter 70 There is a little boy hiding under the table
This is Jiang Yimo's side.
What happened last night didn't affect her at all.
Today she got up early again, stood by the window and looked at the sky outside. The sunlight was very strong and had already diligently illuminated the entire earth. It was really not suitable for outdoor activities.
She planned to stay in the house today to experiment with extracting crude salt.
So, she took out the distilling vessels and coarse salt for the experiment from the space while Qingzhu was still asleep, and started the experiment of refining coarse salt by the window of the room.
Within an hour, she tried two or three times to extract crude salt by distillation, and each time she succeeded, she was very happy.
Then, she took out a piece of white paper and a pen from the space and drew several utensils and detailed steps used in refining crude salt.
If she never had the chance to meet the Evil King in the future, she would send him the detailed drawings of refining crude salt, and she would have completed her mission.
Let him figure out the rest.
After Qingzhu got up and washed up, the two of them prepared to go downstairs for breakfast. As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw the brother and sister from yesterday.
When the little girl saw Jiang Yimo, she smiled brightly and ran towards her.
"Sister Fairy, my brother didn't let me knock on your door, but I finally waited until you came out."
Jiang Yimo lowered her eyes to look at the delicate little girl in front of her. Her big eyes, like black grapes, shone with innocence and enthusiasm, were like a pair of black diamonds that could make gold and stone split open. You couldn't ignore her.
"Little girl, weren't you sent home by your brother?"
Jiang Yimo asked casually.
"Not yet. My brother promised to let me watch the Hundred Flowers Exhibition tomorrow and then send me back."
The little girl explained.
"Oh, so that's it!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo's mouth corners slightly raised, with a faint smile on her lips.
Her smile not only stunned the little girl, but also fascinated her brother who was standing not far away.
"Sister, you have such a beautiful smile!"
The little girl, who was only as tall as Jiang Yimo's chest, also looked at her with a smile.
At this time, the little girl's brother also came over and wanted to apologize to Jiang Yimo for his sister's rudeness.
"Girl, my sister...is naughty and often causes trouble for others..."
Jiang Yimo smiled and shook her head, signaling him not to care.
"It's okay. I think she is cute." Jiang Yimo said softly.
Her voice was full of tenderness and kindness, as if it could accommodate everything.
After hearing this, the little girl's brother looked even more apologetic.
Then, the little girl took Jiang Yimo's slender hand and walked downstairs.
When going downstairs, the little girl introduced her name to Jiang Yimo. Only then did Jiang Yimo know that the little girl's name was Xie Jiamin.
In the morning, there were still many people eating breakfast on the first floor of the restaurant. Fortunately, Xie Hefan had booked a large table in advance, so several people had a seat.
Jiang Yimo had to sit at the same table with the Xie brothers and sisters to have breakfast.
After Jiang Yimo and Xie Hefan sat down, they immediately ordered their breakfast. Xie Hefan ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup for himself and his sister, while Jiang Yimo and her servant ordered a bowl of wontons. The others also ordered breakfast for themselves.
Not long after, their breakfast was brought over by the waiter and everyone started eating.
When everyone was halfway through their breakfast, Jiang Yimo suddenly smelled a foul odor invading her nose.
She frowned slightly, looking for the source of the smell, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw a little boy, about seven or eight years old, dirty, smelly, ragged, and with messy hair, hiding under their table.
At this time, everyone who was sitting at a table eating breakfast bent down and looked under the table.
"Little boy, why are you hiding under our table?"
Jiang Yimo looked at him and spoke first.
But the little boy opened his eyes wide and stared at everyone with a defensive look.
Jiang Yimo had no choice but to speak again: "Don't be afraid, little friend, we won't hurt you. Can you tell us why you hid under our table?"
After she finished speaking, the little boy still ignored her and just kept staring at Jiang Yimo blankly.
Although he felt that the woman in front of him spoke in a gentle voice like his mother's, he was still on guard against her.
Just then, the little girl Xie Jiamin spoke.
"Little brother, don't be afraid. We are all good people and won't hurt you. You can hide under our table. Are you hungry? I'll ask my brothers and sisters to get you something to eat, okay?"
The little girl seduces her.
The little boy turned his eyes toward her.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I'm hungry. I want to eat meat buns."
"Okay, I'll ask my brother to order two meat buns for you right away. You come out now." Xie Jiamin said.
"No, if I go out, the restaurant owner and the waiter will catch me and throw me to my father, and then my father will beat me to death." The little boy said, trembling all over.
"I can assure you that when you get out, no one will dare to cause trouble to you with us protecting you." Jiang Yimo looked at him and also made a promise to him.
The little boy nodded and crawled out from under the table.
Qingzhu, who was sitting next to Jiang Yimo, also found a stool for the little boy to sit on. Then, she went to the waiter and ordered a tray of meat buns.
Not long after the little boy sat down, the owner of the restaurant noticed the little boy, and with a sullen face, he hurried over.
"You little bastard, you sneaked in again and disturbed my guests' breakfast."
As he said this, he was about to reach out and pick up the little boy, but the little boy, with a look of fear on his face, threw himself onto Jiang Yimo.
Seeing this, Xie Hefan quickly stretched out his long arms to stop the shopkeeper's evil clutches.
“Shopkeeper, he is just a child of a few years old, there is no need to be malicious towards him.
"Master, you don't know that this kid often comes to our restaurant to steal food from customers. It has a very bad influence on our restaurant. Every time we catch him and throw him back to his father, his father can't afford to pay us, so at most he just beats him up."
The restaurant owner glared at the little boy.
The little boy looked at the restaurant owner's murderous eyes and shrank his smelly little body towards Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo lowered her eyes and looked at the little boy, and said calmly, "Boss, whatever the little boy wants to eat today, just bring it up, and I'll pay for it."
Hearing this, the restaurant owner could only nod his head. After all, someone was paying for the little bastard's food, so just let him eat and stay here.
But when he smelled the stench of this boy again and again, he felt sick... He turned his head to look at other tables and saw a few guests nearby who were already eating with their noses pinched, so he decided to kick him out.
"Girl, you can't pay him to eat. This guy stinks. I don't mind him, but other customers can't stand his stench. If he stays here for a while longer, he might drive away a few of my customers."
"This one……"
Next, Jiang Yimo didn’t know how to explain to the shopkeeper why he kept the boy.
Because the little boy was really dirty and smelly, it really affected other people's appetite.
