Wen Bai glanced at Wen Jue and Mo Xingchen, thinking: As long as there's food, children should be easy to fool.
The next second.
"Dong~dong~huallala~" Many copper coins, silver ingots, and even large denomination banknotes fell into the carriage, scattering everywhere.
Mo Xingchen turned his head and his eyes widened immediately.
He no longer asked where the money came from and directly exclaimed, "So much money! Let's go buy food right now!"
Wen Jue blinked his large eyes, which were almost identical to Wen Bai's, and said sweetly, "I found it in a box last night."
Wen Bai was about to ask something.
But Young Master Mo Xingchen directly picked a silver note of the largest denomination, grabbed it, and rushed towards the carriage door, "Wow wow wow! Let's go to the shop and eat the most expensive!"
Wen Bai directly reached back.
Before the other person could even lift the carriage curtain, Wen Bai grabbed him by the back of his collar and stopped him.
Wen Bai's expressionless face conveyed his disapproval. Thinking that the other person was a child, he had to make things clear: "We are all children, with short arms and legs and not much strength. If we take such a large denomination banknote without an adult present, do you want to be abducted by human traffickers again?"
As soon as he heard the words "human traffickers," Mo Xingchen immediately calmed down.
No, not just calmed down, he calmed down too much. This little fatty actually broke out in a cold sweat from fear.
He turned his head, swallowed, and asked, "Then... then what should we do? I'm so hungry."
Wen Bai: "You want to go down and buy food?"
Mo Xingchen nodded like a pecking chicken: "Yes."
...
Afterwards, Mo Xingchen got out of the carriage with scattered copper coins and broken silver.
Wen Bai and Wen Jue waited in the carriage for him, letting him buy food for the three of them.
Mo Xingchen stood in front of the breakfast stall and grandly waved his small hand: "Give me one of everything... no, three servings of everything!"
The breakfast vendor was an old man. Seeing that there were no adults behind Mo Xingchen, he took it as a child's play and didn't pack the food for him.
He only said, "Oh dear, little one, don't joke with this old man. How can your small body eat so much? Go back and play with your parents!"
Mo Xingchen was stunned by the reaction, but he didn't panic. He just suddenly felt that Wen Bai was truly so clever!
He immediately extended his little chubby hand, revealing the few copper coins and a small piece of broken silver clutched in his small chubby hands.
He confidently waved his hand in the direction of the carriage and used the words Wen Bai had instructed him with: "Look~ my dad and mom are in that carriage over there. Dad and mom said I've grown up, and I can learn to do these small things myself!"
The old man saw the silver in the child's hand and then looked at the place the child was pointing, where there was indeed a carriage.
Before the children Wen Bai and Mo Xingchen were sold by Grandma Qian, they had specifically bathed. Grandma Qian had also collected their expensive cloth clothes, and those small outfits could still be exchanged for money after washing.
Now, they were all wearing coarse cloth clothes.
Mo Xingchen no longer looked like a young master but more like a servant.
The old man then smiled and said, "Oh dear, with your attire, I thought you were just a little servant. You want three servings of everything? Alright."
The old man busily packed the steamed buns, mantou, meat pies, pumpkin cakes, sweet potatoes, and millet porridge into separate bags.
As he handed them to Mo Xingchen, he also asked this grown-up child, "Can your small body carry all this? Or should this old man help carry it to the carriage for you?"
Mo Xingchen immediately waved his hand: "No need, this is a task my parents have given me, and I must complete it myself. I can't be looked down upon."
Then, Mo Xingchen walked two steps and rested one, carrying the items back to the carriage.
-
In the carriage, the three little ones were eating happily.
The carriage had stopped in a secluded spot.
Mo Xingchen ate a bun as big as his small hand in two bites, not afraid of choking.
Wen Bai, while seemingly refined, ate extremely quickly.
Wen Jue held a mantou, eating it in small bites, while watching Wen Bai as if deep in thought.
With food, Mo Xingchen became more talkative: "Why is this horse running by itself!"
Wen Jue nodded in agreement.
This was also his question.
Wen Bai expressionlessly began to lie to the children: "It seems to understand what I'm saying."
Wen Jue did not believe him at all.
Mo Xingchen's eyes widened: "Ah? Then can it understand what I say?"
Wen Bai continued to lie expressionlessly: "You can try."
Then, Mo Xingchen called out from outside: "Little horse, little horse~ Giddy up!"
System 001 cooperatively controlled the transparent radish.
Then, Mo Xingchen saw the horse truly stop eating grass and immediately start moving.
Wen Jue leaned out the carriage window, his beautiful round eyes wide, and looked back at Wen Bai in disbelief.
Mo Xingchen continued: "Little horse, little horse~ Stop!"
System 001 remained very cooperative.
Before long, Mo Xingchen returned, satisfied, and commented: "It really understands. This is truly a good horse!"
After eating their fill, Mo Xingchen's courage shriveled back.
He glanced at Wen Bai, then at him again.
Even Wen Jue looked over and asked, "Why are you staring at big brother?"
"Where... where am I!"
After denying it, Mo Xingchen timidly mustered the courage to ask Wen Bai, "Wen... Wen Bai, what are your plans?"
Then he quickly stated his intention: "I want to go... home."
He then looked expectantly at Wen Bai.
Wen Bai calmly replied, "Indeed, we should go home."
Wen Bai, feigning ignorance, asked, "Do you know where your home is?"
Mo Xingchen was silent for a moment, then stuttered, "I... I don't remember."
Wen Bai said expressionlessly, "I know the way back to my home. You can come with us."
Wen Jue looked at Wen Bai again.
Because after arriving in this unfamiliar place, he also didn't know the way home.
But, how did big brother know how to get back?
Wen Bai, of course, did not know.
Moreover, Wen Bai was inherently bad with directions. However, Wen Bai had the smart navigation system 001.
Next, before returning home, some preparations needed to be made.
Step one for returning home: Prepare sufficient provisions.
Using the same method, Mo Xingchen went to buy several roast chickens and roast geese, all wrapped in oil paper.
Gradually, Mo Xingchen grew to love the joy of shopping freely by himself.
At home, there were always servants following him.
And, he was never allowed to buy whatever he wanted!
But now, he could buy whatever he wanted!
He was so rich!
Mo Xingchen entered a frantic shopping spree. After buying all the planned items, he also bought many pastries, fruits, and even new clothes.
He bought them all according to his own size, a total of 4 sets for each person!
