Grandma Beggar

***

It had been a week that Ho Chen was inside the palace, during the night when there was time, Ho Chen would practice increasing the aura of the king inside his room.

Sometimes Ho Chen attended the meeting in the palace if the meeting was related to the problem of the demon army. But if it's a political issue, he won't follow it.

Ho Chen could enter and enter the palace freely.The entire palace gatekeeper would have known who Ho Chen really was.

“Dewa Swordsman!" “Dewa Swordsman!" The guards greeted Ho Chen who was coming out past them.

Ho Chen welcomed their greeting with a gentle smile, but the feeling of his heart was greatly disturbed by his title name. “the longer I stay here will hurt my head even more." Ho Chen muttered as he stepped away.

Ho Chen walked towards the city center. “this city is too vast, Where am I looking for the location of the Golden Eagle Shop?." Ho Chen scratched his nose. Then walk down the vast city of Anming.

“lord! Please sir, I haven't eaten." A skinny old woman in a shabby, seedy shirt was asking passers-by.

Ho Chen looked at the woman and approached her. “Grandpa! Why is grandma begging? Does Grandma have no family?" Ask Ho Chen.

The grandmother looked at Ho Chen before replying. “Young master! Help me Young master, give me a little money, me and my grandson haven't eaten." Pinta the grandmother with a face.

Ho Chen looked around. “where is grandma's granddaughter?" Ho Chen asked as he did not see the little boy near the grandmother.

“my grandson is home, he's waiting for me to bring food." Grandma answered with a sad face.

“Good grandma, now let's buy food and bring home grandma.” Ho Chen said with a smile.

The grandmother was shocked to hear. “tu-sir really wanted to help me?" The grandmother asked as if she could not believe it.

“of course, let's hurry grandma, kasian grandson waiting for grandma." Ho Chen said and immediately took the grandmother to a bakery .

Ho Chen ordered some meat bread and wrapped it to be taken to the grandmother's house. The grandmother was waiting some distance away from Ho Chen's place.

“this is the bread master, everything costs 20 bronze coins." Said the waiter and handed the bread to Ho Chen.

Ho Chen immediately pay with 1 silver coin.“ sir wait a minute I will take the change." Said the waiter who intended to go inside.

“myself keep the change." Ho Chen said as he stepped out of the shop towards the direction the grandmother was in.

The waiter just stood there, as Ho Chen was a little further away he chased after him and thanked Ho Chen.

Ho Chen followed the grandmother in the back. The longer the less buildings Ho Chen passed. It is also getting smaller and smaller.

After walking for more than an hour Ho Chen arrived at a small house that was about to collapse. “This young master is my home, I hope the young master doesn't mind going inside." Said the grandmother who seemed hesitant to invite Ho Chen into her house.

“don't talk like that Grandma, let's go in and give this bread to granddaughter." Replied Ho Chen with a soft tone.

Upon arriving inside, Ho Chen saw the roof of the house that many holes and if it rains it will definitely leak. Weathered walls and poles are just waiting for the collapse.

“Lang'er come here!" A 7-year-old boy approached the grandmother, her body a little thin and her clothes look worn.

“grandma, did grandma bring food for me? I'm so hungry." Ask the child while holding his stomach.

The little boy was so happy to see the bread in front of him so much. “thank you young master." He said politely.

“small sister..! What's your name. " Task Ho Chen by wiping the little boy's hair.

“my name is Shiao Lang sir." Answer the boy innocently.

“My name is Ho Chen, and don't call me Sir, just call me brother."

“Thank you brother Chen." Said Shiao Lang and ate the bread voraciously.

Ho Chen looked at the two who were eating, He wanted to ask the grandmother something, but saw the grandmother who was eating Ho Chen undo his intentions.

“granny sorry I want to ask?” when the grandmother and Shiao Lang finished eating, Shiao Lang went to play by himself in front of his house. Ho Chen spoke to the grandmother.

“what do young masters want to ask?" Ask the grandmother,

“call me Ho Chen grandma!" Then Ho Chen looked at Shiao Lang who was playing alone outside.

“where is old man Shiao Lang nek?" Ho Chen's question makes the grandmother look sad. “sorry if my question makes grandma sad. So forget my question." Ho Chen said as soon as he saw the change in the face of the grandmother.

“nothing. You've helped us, and we can't reply to anything." The grandmother said with a smile, then the grandmother told her about Old Man Shiao Lang and himself.

Her grandmother was named Kiev Leen. Shiao Lang has been living with Grandma Kyiv since her parents died.

Shiao Lang's mother died of a severe illness, at the time Shiao Lang was 4 years old.

After Shiao Lang was 6 years old, his father also died while hunting in the forest and fell into the abyss.

Now Shiao only has Granny Kiev, the only person Shiao Lang has.

Every day Grandma Kiev would go begging. Because her body was old Kiew Leen could not do heavy work, while Shiao Lang was 7 years old and could not work.

Sometimes Grandma Kiev and Shiao Lang only ate 1 meal a day. Sometimes you don't eat for 2 days. Although Shiao Lang was only 7 years old, he could understand the difficulties and did not want to further complicate his grandmother.

Ho Chen was moved to hear the story of the two of them. According to him, the capital looks beautiful and peaceful, it turns out there are still some people who cannot enjoy the beauty and peace of this city.

“Grandmother Kyiv? Is there anyone other than you who has the same fate as you?." Ho Chen stepped his foot into the weathered window while asking Grandma Kiev.
