Ji'er stopped smiling.

When the three little beggars saw this, they did not dare say anything more. All they did was use two large leaves to wrap up the two remaining grilled fish.

Ji'er asked when she saw this, "What are you doing?"

The three little beggars said with embarrassment, "We're already full. We want to wrap up these fish for tomorrow."

Ji'er was taken aback, but instantly understood the situation. She could not help feeling slightly sad about this.

She had always enjoyed good food and clothes since young. Even though she had never been wasteful, she never had to worry about food and wonder if she would get anything to eat for her next meal.

Right here was a corner of the world she had never known where people had difficulty feeding themselves every day. All they could do was hide in an abandoned temple and live a life without hope.

"You should just finish it. If you leave them until tomorrow, they might go bad and won't taste as good," said Ji'er. "I'll catch more fish for you tomorrow."

The beggars were pleasantly surprised to hear this. "Really?"

"Yes," Ji'er promised. It was not a big deal for her.

After they were done eating, Ji'er wanted to get some sleep. She had just found a place to lie down when the smallest beggar went over to her. He rubbed his hands and said nervously, "Young Master, there is some dried grass spread out over there. It would be more comfortable there than sleeping on the ground." He paused, worried that she would not like it, and quickly explained, "The dried grass is clean. We collected it earlier and, after drying it, we left it there without using it. It's a suitable night to put it to good use."

Ji'er walked over and saw the other two beggars tidying up the dried grass.

She paused momentarily. The three of them had initially wanted to rob her of her valuables. All she did was give them some food and that was enough to change their minds. They were even using the only possession they had to try to accommodate her.

They were not simply greedy people and knew how to show gratitude.

"Thank you." She thanked them sincerely as she dropped her cloth bundle onto the dried grass and sat down.

The three little beggars scratched their heads a little shyly.

That night, Ji'er lay on the grass with one hand underneath her head, using it as a pillow. She listened to the breathing of the three little beggars and surprisingly did not find them noisy at all. Instead, it felt very natural.I think you should take a look at

Next day.

Ji'er kept her promise and caught multiple fish for them.

She was a little touched to see how happy and content the three little beggars were.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

With that in mind, Ji'er taught them how to use the sharp wooden forks to catch fish.

The three beggars were not stupid. Not to mention, they were able-bodied. Even though it took them half a day and much effort to catch some fish, it was already enough.

If they practiced catching fish like this every day, they would get better at it.

Ji'er had observed the area; it was rather rural and there were not many people, which was why there was plenty of fish. The beggars would not die of hunger as long as they kept their wits about them.

They would get tired of eating fish eventually, but they could sell the fish in the city or exchange them for noodles or grain.

Of course, there would come a day when the supply of fish in the stream would dry up. However, they could use the land here to grow crops. As long as their hands and feet were working, and they were not lazy, they would have no problem feeding themselves.

Ji'er shared her thoughts with them and gave them some silver before she made to leave.

However, to her surprise, the three little beggars insisted on following her when they saw her about to leave.

"Where are you going, Young Master? Can you take us with you?"

"Yes, yes. We won't need much food. Also, we've been to many places and are familiar with the roads. We can guide you."

"We can also help you carry your cloth bundle…"

The little beggar who spoke last was quite distracted and made the offer a little shyly when he saw the cloth bundle on Ji'er's shoulder, which was not that big.
