As the children moved around, there was some confusion inside the cage.
As soon as Amanda got close to Jack Hughes with the cover of the surrounding children, she was able to stuff half a piece of bun which was taken from her bosom into Jack’s mouth quickly.
“Amanda …”
The expression of a boy changed as he was going to stop her.
However, it was still late.
“Hee hee …”
Amanda raised her head and looked at the boy with a smile. Her eyes curved into crescents, “No more.”
As she spoke, she even stretched her hands.
The boy was annoyed, then he shook his head and gave a pat on her hands.
After he looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him, he took out half a piece of bun quietly and stuffed it directly into her arms.
“I’ll give you this half piece, but don’t give it to him again.”
The boy admonished her.
That piece of bun was stolen by him when the people of caravan didn’t notice him. He divided the bun into two, half for himself and half for his sister.
Her nose wrinkled as she wanted to take the bun out of her arms.
She knew clearly that he would have nothing left to eat if she took the half piece of bun.
However, the boy touched her head and shook his head, “I’m not hungry, you keep it well.”
She nodded.
When the boy moved, she secretly took the bun out and tucked it inside the waistband of his brother’s beast robe carefully.
The group of children was playing around and her movements were light.
Thus, the boy didn’t realize it.
The caravan marched on in the blizzard.
As the children clustered together, Jack who was sitting unconscious in the middle gradually getting warmer.
After a long time, his eyelids shivered and he slowly opened his eyes, “Am I… dead?”
He glanced around him slowly with his blank eyes.
However, a voice that was surprising rang out in his ears, “You’ve finally woken up. You’re not dead. You’re still alive!”
Jack twisted his head and looked at Amanda beside him. Her big and clear eyes made him to be dazed for a while.
“Hum, if it wasn’t because my sister is kind-hearted, you would have frozen to death and starved to death.”
On the other side, another boy’s voice rang out.
Jack slowly turned his head and looked at the boy who sat behind him and looked indifferent.
Then, he looked around at those pitiful children who were trembling due to coldness and he was in a trance.
He caught a glimpse at the cage he was in and the people of caravan outside.
His gaze fell back to the little girl, “You saved me?”
“Hi, my name is Amanda.”
She introduced herself and then said, “The men of this caravan had found you and intended to sell you into slavery. I just begged my brother and all of them to gather around you and keep you warm.”
“Keep warm …”
He looked up at the blizzard and his heart ached slightly.
The wind was bitterly cold and the snow was pouring down heavily on the snowy plains.
Hypothermia would absolutely cause death!
However, these children had endured the coldness to save his life.
“Don’t rejoice too soon. Even if you survive, you’ll be sold into slavery as slaves are the same as animals here.”
The boy said indifferently, “You’ve to be prepared for that.”
“Slaves …”
Jack frowned but he didn’t act aggressively.
He subconsciously put his hand on the ground and tried to grab his sword, but he didn’t grab anything.
