Many children followed behind the two, watching eagerly, biting their fingers and swallowing their saliva.
Dou Bao glanced at Jason, and after seeing Jason nod slightly, she immediately took a few skewers of ice sugar gourds from the straw target she was carrying and handed them to the children.
"That's it, no more."
After handing out the skewers to a few kids, Dou Bao shooed them away.
The children who got the sugar gourds ran off happily, laughing and skipping.
However, as the children left,
an adult did not leave.
Or rather, the adult didn't move, lying in the sunny spot at the alley entrance, and upon hearing the children's laughter, stretched lazily and sat up.
This adult had white hair and beard, his worn-out clothes covered in pudding, cloth shoes barely hanging on his feet, with a toe peeking out from the left shoe; twigs he picked at random were stuck in his hair, his face was filthy, eyes filled with yellowish eye discharge as he watched Jason and Dou Bao.
