Chapter 374 Li Zhen and Nan Nan 1
When the three emperors, Huang Tiandi, Ye Tiandi and Chu Tiandi, successfully ascended the sacrificial road, their relatives and friends were also resurrected and returned.

When the ruthless emperor also broke through the sacrificial path and came to look for Li Zhen, where was Li Zhen?

He is hanging out with the Ruthless Emperor from his childhood.

In this troubled time, the two depended on each other and wandered around.

It was a day of heavy snow and biting cold wind.

In a dilapidated City God Temple, the brother and sister hugged each other tightly, trying to keep each other warm with their body temperature.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Little Nannan curled up in Li Zhen's arms, her little face full of tear marks, and her stomach growling.

Li Zhen looked at the little girl in his arms, who was so hungry that her face was pale and her body was thin. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He reached into his arms, took out half a dry and hard steamed bun, and handed it to her.

"Nannan, eat."

Little Nannan took the steamed bun and looked at Li Zhen's empty hands, her eyes became red again.

"Brother, you eat too."

She broke off a small piece of steamed bun and put it to Li Zhen's mouth.

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head, then patted little Nannan's head, "Brother is not hungry, Nannan, eat."

Little Nannan knew that her brother was lying to her, but she still endured her hunger and ate the steamed buns in small bites.

She knew that her brother hadn't eaten for a long time.

The two of them snuggled together like this, their breathing slowly became steady and they gradually fell asleep.

At night, Nannan suddenly twitched and then started crying for no apparent reason.

"Brother, brother."

She shouted in confusion and fear.

"Don't be afraid, Nannan. Brother is here."

Li Zhen held Nannan in his arms and patted her back gently.

Nannan squirmed in Li Zhen's arms, smelled the familiar scent on him, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

The next day, just after dawn, Li Zhen took his little girl out.

They are going to the city to beg for food.

There were people coming and going on the streets of the city, but most of them were in a hurry and no one wanted to look at them for a second.

Li Zhen took his little girl and knocked on doors from house to house, but most people turned them away.

"Go away, go away, don't block my door."

A fat and big-eared official pushed Li Zhen away and patted his sleeves in disgust.

Li Zhen was pushed to the ground. Little Nannan screamed in fear and threw herself into Li Zhen's arms.

"Brother, are you okay?"

She asked with concern.

Li Zhen shook his head, stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

"It's okay, let's try somewhere else."

He comforted the little girl and continued to move forward with her.

In this way, the two of them walked all over the city, but they only got some leftovers.

Little Nannan was so hungry that her face turned pale, but she still left all the food to Li Zhen.

"Brother, you can eat. I'm not hungry."

She managed a forced smile.

Li Zhen felt sad when he saw the sensible appearance of little girl.

He knew that he couldn't let his sister suffer like this any longer.

So he decided to steal something.

He came to a rice shop and secretly grabbed a handful of rice and put it in his arms while the owner was not paying attention.

But just as he was about to leave, he was discovered by the shop owner.

"Thief! Catch him!"

The shop owner shouted loudly, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Li Zhen was surrounded by a group of people and had nowhere to escape.

He knew that he would be beaten badly this time.

But he did not regret it, because he knew that only in this way could his sister have a full meal.

Sure enough, he was beaten and kicked by a group of people, leaving him covered with bruises.

When the little girl saw this scene, she was so scared that she burst into tears.

"Brother! Stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me!"

She rushed to Li Zhen and tried to stop the men's violence.

But her power was too weak to change anything.

In the end, Li Zhen was beaten unconscious.

Little girl hugged Li Zhen's body and burst into tears.

"Brother, wake up! Don't leave me!"

She cried heartbreakingly, but Li Zhen didn't react at all.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhen woke up from his coma. "Brother."

Nannan threw herself into his arms.

Li Zhen dragged his injured body and pulled his daughter, disappearing in the heavy snow.

In this troubled time, Li Zhen and his daughter, a pair of young siblings, depended on each other and suffered a lot. They experienced countless bitterness and tears, but no matter how difficult life was, they always supported each other and never left each other.

It was another morning, the heavy snow had just stopped, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver.

Li Zhen and his daughter huddled in the dilapidated City God Temple, their clothes ragged and their faces yellow from hunger.

All they had left in their hands were some leftovers, which were the only food they had begged for yesterday.

Li Zhen looked at the food in his hand, feeling bitter. He knew that this food was not enough to fill the stomachs of two people, but he still left the better part for Nannan.

"Nannan, eat this."

He handed the food to Nannan and forced a smile on his face.

Nannan looked at the food in her hand and her eyes welled up.

She knew that her brother had given so much for her, but she also knew that he was also hungry.

"Brother, let's eat together."

As she spoke, she divided the food into two halves and handed one half to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was touched by Nannan's understanding. He took the food and the two of them shared the leftovers. Although the food was hard to swallow, their hearts were filled with warmth.

After dinner, Li Zhen took his daughter to start a new day of begging.

They traveled through the city streets, knocking on doors and begging for money, but most people ignored them, and some even spoke harshly to them.

Li Zhen silently endured the humiliation and indifference, he just wanted his daughter to have enough food and warm clothes. But the reality was cruel, the food they begged for became less and less, sometimes they even got nothing for the whole day.

That evening, they arrived at the door of a wealthy family. Li Zhen mustered up the courage to knock on the door, but it was tightly closed and no one answered.

He stood in front of the door, looking at the tightly closed door, feeling lost. He knew that this family would not give them any charity.

"Brother, let's go."

Nannan took Li Zhen's hand and spoke softly.

Li Zhen nodded and turned to leave. But at this moment, the door suddenly opened. A servant came out with a steamed bun in his hand.

"Take it, and don't bother us anymore."

The servant threw the steamed bun on the ground and said coldly.

Li Zhen picked up the steamed bun on the ground.

He handed the steamed bun to Nannan, who took it but didn't eat it. She looked at Li Zhen's empty hands, and a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

"Brother, let's eat together."

As she spoke, she broke the bun into two halves.

Li Zhen was touched by Nannan's actions. He took the half bun and the two of them shared the hard-earned food.

As night fell, Li Zhen and his daughter came to an abandoned temple.

They lit a fire, trying to use the light and warmth to drive away the cold and hunger.

Nannan snuggled in Li Zhen's arms, and the two hugged each other tightly. They knew that the world was not friendly to them, but they also believed that as long as they depended on each other, they would be able to survive this cold winter night.

However, fate did not seem to favor this pair of unfortunate siblings.

The next morning, when they woke up, they found a group of ferocious beggars gathered outside the dilapidated temple. They looked at Li Zhen and Nannan with greed in their eyes.

"These two little brats look pretty good. They will definitely fetch a good price."

A beggar leader said this and walked towards Li Zhen and Nannan.

Li Zhen was shocked when he saw this. He knew the evil deeds of these beggars, who often kidnapped children and sold them to rich families as slaves.

He hugged Nannan tightly, trying to protect her with his body. But the beggars didn't care at all, they rushed forward and surrounded Li Zhen and Nannan.

"Let us go! What do you want to do?!"

Li Zhen shouted loudly, but the beggars ignored him.

They grabbed Li Zhen and Nannan's arms and tried to drag them away by force.

Nannan burst into tears out of fear, and she held onto Li Zhen's clothes tightly, unwilling to let go, but the beggars were too strong and she couldn't break free at all.

Li Zhen tried his best to resist, but there were so many beggars that he was no match for them. Soon, he was knocked to the ground by the beggars, and Nannan was forcibly taken away by them.

"Nannan! Don't take Nannan away!"

Li Zhen struggled to get up and tried to chase after the beggars, but his body was already covered with wounds and he couldn't run fast at all.

He watched Nannan being taken away, his heart filled with despair and anger. He knew that he had lost Nannan, and also lost his only relative in the world.

However, just when Li Zhen was about to give up, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

She was a woman dressed in white, her face was cold and beautiful, and there was a firm light in her eyes.

"Let her go."

The woman's voice was cold and majestic, which made the beggars shudder.

The beggars looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and felt frightened.

They knew that this woman was not someone they could afford to offend, so they all loosened their hands and let Nannan go.

Seeing this, Li Zhen rushed forward and hugged Nannan tightly in his arms.

He looked at the woman in white, his eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

"Thank you for saving us," he whispered.
