"Eat slower, don't choke yourself." Li Huowang crossed his arms with a slight frown, watching the man before him wolf down his food.
The way he's eating, it's like he's trying to choke himself to death with sweet potatoes just so he can die on a full stomach.
The man was so haggard that Li Huowang had almost failed to recognize him earlier. Now that he looked closer, he realized this grass-eating man was Niu San, the Da Qi refugee who used to sneak into the Niuxin Village kitchen to steal food.
He must have lived in Niuxin Village. That's why he ended up back here when he was returned to Da Qi, and why I happened to run into him.
With his mouth stuffed, Niu San shook his head hard at Li Huowang's words, then knelt by the water and gulped it down. After using the water to wash down the food stuck in his throat, he forced a smile at Li Huowang and continued to hungrily devour the food Li Huowang had brought, right off the ground.
