Someone was tearing at their luggage, others fiercely ripped at the clothes of their whole family, trying to see if they were hiding any food. The women screamed incessantly, and the children cried hysterically.
Bai Jinse, who had turned back, stood at the entrance watching the scene in the broken temple. Her eyes searched for the boy, and sure enough... she saw the boy clenching a flatbread in his mouth, using his hands and feet to crawl out from under the crowd, and running towards Bai Jinse.
Seeing the boy had taken the opportunity to escape, Bai Jinse turned and walked away. The boy jogged to keep up with Bai Jinse, tearing the firmly pressed flatbread in half and stuffing the extra half into Bai Jinse's hands.
Bai Jinse lowered her eyes to look at the little boy who was gazing up at her with bright eyes. When Bai Jinse didn't take it, the little boy pushed the flatbread into her hands.
"Eat..." the boy said.
