Chapter 1 The Little Beggar Under the Bridge

Magic City is a city full of charm and magic. It is full of lights, feasting and bustle, stimulating the yearning hearts of boys and girls.

In Yanbei District, in a bridge shrouded in darkness, there was a ragged, skinny little boy lying on a tattered quilt.

From time to time, mice squeaked from inside the cave, and the roar of cars could be heard outside...

The residual light from the streetlight fell on the little boy's sallow face. It looked like he was only five or six years old and had been wandering for a year.

One night passed quickly, the sun shone down, and the little boy slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything around him in a daze.

"What a real dream. Why did that handsome uncle put so many things in my head?"

The boy patted the dust on his body and ran to the river nearby to wash his little face.

In the past ten days, he has been having special dreams. The handsome uncle in the dream taught him many things, including calligraphy, chess, Chinese medicine, musical instruments... and spiritual practice.

"Yesterday, handsome uncle said that he would accept me as his young apprentice and teach me how to practice. Why did I know everything I learned in the dream and remember it so clearly?"

The little boy cooed coquettishly, and his stomach growled. He smiled innocently, and then he went to get something to eat.

Back in the cave, he skillfully took out a small plate and a piece of paper from under the bed, and then tiptoed outside.

Yanbei District is a busy time in the early morning. The stalls and vendors are busy packing their goods, and there is a heavy flow of traffic and people.

A man and woman are rushing to school. The girl is Lin Xiaoxiao and the boy is Ye Xing.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm not telling you, walk faster, you will have morning self-study soon, don't cry if the director catches you late."

"Why rush? It's still early. It's as urgent as reincarnation every time. How can you breathe the freshest air when walking so fast?"

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, and suddenly he stopped where he was, looking at the egg-filled cake stall.

Ye Xing also noticed her appearance, shook his head helplessly, turned around and said.

"Don't eat it yet, miss. Didn't you just have breakfast? Let's go to school first."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and pulled Ye Xing over. But they were not standing at the egg-filled pancake stall, but in a small open space beside it.

"Kind brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, can you give Xiao Ke some food? Thank you."

Lin Xiaoxiao silently read the content on the paper and looked at the little boy squatting on the ground in front of him, his face full of distress.

The little boy took his position early in the morning, looking eagerly at his brothers and sisters in front of him, full of expectation.

His name is Xiao Ke, and he has lived with a grandfather who sells scraps since he was a child. He picks up bottles and collects cardboard boxes with his grandfather every day.

Although life was difficult, his grandfather loved him very much. He would give him delicious food and toys he picked up, and the small dilapidated house he lived in was full of warmth.

Unfortunately, his grandfather died of liver cancer a year ago. Xiao Ke cried bitterly while holding his grandfather's body, and fell asleep while crying.

When the police arrived the next day, they put grandpa in the car.

Then he started living on the streets. An old beggar looked at him pitifully and told him what he should do to eat. Xiao Ke is also learning and applying it now.

"Pretty sister, can you give Xiao Ke something to eat?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at this thin boy. Long-term malnutrition made his little body look even thinner, like a wilted bean sprout.

But his eyes were bright, and his blue pupils looked bright.

"Ye Xing, let's help him, please. The child is so pitiful."

Ye Xing looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's slightly red eyes, and then at the little boy beside him. He felt very sympathetic, so he turned around and bought two pancakes and a bottle of Coke.

"Xiao Ke, take it and eat it quickly. You must be starving. Where are your family members?"

Xiao Ke took the food and gave a sweet smile. He lowered his head when he heard Ye Xiaoxiao's words.

"My grandfather was taken away by the police uncle last year. The police uncle said that my grandfather passed away. My parents don't know where they are."

When he thought that the grandfather who made him happy was gone, Xiao Ke shed tears and his body was trembling slightly.

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed and then asked, "Why don't the police officers send you to an orphanage? This way you don't have to go hungry."

Xiao Ke spoke with a cry, "I want to find my... mom and dad. I don't... don't want to go to the orphanage. I have a mom and dad, so I... snuck out."

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, so she took out 50 yuan from her pocket, put it on a plate on the ground, and touched Xiao Ke's head.

"Little brother, do you want to come home with me so that you don't have to go hungry?"

Xiao Ke stopped crying when he heard this and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with big tearful eyes.

A gust of wind blew by, and the 50 yuan in the plate was blown to the road. Xiao Ke rushed over. He didn't want his brother and sister's money to be blown away.

"Danger! Come back Xiao Ke!"

Ye Xing threw his hands away and looked back, seeing a speeding Audi A6 about to hit the boy on the road.

The driver was also startled by the sudden appearance of the little boy, and hurriedly braked, leaving a brake mark on the road.

Fortunately, the car stopped half a meter away from Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke tightly grasped the banknotes floating on the ground. He looked at the car that was close to the door in fear.

The car door opened, and a fat man got out of the car cursing, his eyes wide open. Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Xing also ran over.

"MD, you little beggar came out of nowhere. Don't you have eyes? This is the road, not your playground. Do you want to kill me?"

The fat man stepped forward and kicked Xiao Ke. Ye Xing quickly blocked the kick with his body.

With a muffled groan, Ye Xing took a step back.

"Brother, children are not sensible. You, the adult, have a lot. Don't get to know him. Isn't something wrong?"

Ye Xing looked at the fat man with a smile, Xiao Ke on the side held back his tears, and Lin Xiaoxiao complained dissatisfied.

"Why are you, an adult, so angry at a child? You don't have any sympathy at all. The road is so wide. You have two balls hanging under your eyebrows. You can only blink but can't see if it's okay. You're driving so fast..."

The fat man became even more angry when he heard this. He really wanted to slap this girl to death.

The bustling streets were soon filled with a group of people eating melons, blocking the road tightly.

"Didi, beep!"

The car behind was blocked, and a woman wearing glasses got out of the yellow-green Martha in the lead, and walked up to the fat man.

"Hello sir, please move the car. Our president is in an emergency. Please understand. If you are affected, I believe you will regret it."

The woman spoke calmly. For a moment, everyone else noticed the car behind her, and several exclamations came from the crowd.

Limited edition Maserati, license plate number 11111. Isn’t this a car from the Wang Group?

Get out of the way quickly, if you offend the Wang family, the consequences will be dire.

The fat man also felt nervous and spat on the ground. He cursed in his heart that he was so unlucky and hurriedly got in the car and moved away. How dare he, a small boss, touch the Wang family's bad luck.

The woman wearing glasses saw that the road was evacuated, and Xiao Ke was also taken to the roadside by the two of them.

Seeing such a young boy come out to beg, she felt a little sympathy and stuffed him with two hundred yuan in change. After a quick glance, she turned around and returned to the car.

"Alian, what happened?"

In the back row of the car, a beauty with light makeup spoke. She was wearing a tight-fitting workplace suit that highlighted her curvy figure. Her light yellow hair was hanging down. Her fair skin and long legs were particularly eye-catching.

He is Wang Siqi, the president of the Wang Group, and the daughter of the Wang family. He is uncompromising in the workplace and has convinced and feared everyone in the company at just 22 years old.

"Mr. Qi, someone was making a noise just now, saying that the little beggar was touching porcelain. I asked them to disperse."

"Ah."

The car started. Wang Siqi held her cheek with one hand and looked at the bustling street. Her delicate face was always as calm as water.

"Gao's game is really good. If I really fall into the trap, the company will lose at least 80 million, ha~"

After a sneer, Wang Siqi's beautiful eyes became extremely cold, and her whole body exuded a domineering temperament. She had her own plan.

"Xiao Ke, you are so ignorant. Just stay here and wait until your brothers and sisters take you home after school, okay?"

Lin Xiaoxiao coaxed Xiao Ke and told him to stay where he was and not run around. After a while of instructions, the two of them hurried to class and were about to be late.

Xiao Ke watched the two of them walking away, stuck out his tongue, put away the paper and bowl, and disappeared with two pancakes in his arms.

The aunt who was spreading pancakes turned back to get the ingredients and found that the little beggar next to her had disappeared.

Under the bridge, Xiao Ke was happily eating pancakes, taking a sip of Coke, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.

"I'm sorry, beautiful sister, I can't go home with you. I have to look for my family. They must be looking for me too."

Xiao Ke talked to himself, his little hand touched the blue jade hanging around his neck. There were two words engraved on the blue jade - Xiao Ke

I heard from grandpa that this is the only thing left to him by his parents, and he will definitely protect it.

After breakfast, Xiao Ke sat down cross-legged on the tattered quilt. He was going to practice according to the exercises taught by his master.
