Su Hu cautiously prodded and finally learned the general story from the boy's intermittent narrative.
The boy's name was Wang Meng, and he was seven years old. Two months ago, a flood struck his hometown, and he, along with his mother and sister, followed the villagers in begging and relocating towards Xuzhou City.
They encountered bandits on the way, and both his mother and sister were killed by them. He took advantage of the chaos to escape, but unexpectedly met with a kidnapper. He was drugged and stuffed into a horse carriage.
Having an innate divine strength since he was young, he broke free from the ropes and jumped out of the cart to escape. Unfortunately, he hadn't eaten for two days while in the cart, and he was both cold and hungry. Not long after running, he collapsed by the roadside and was fortunately saved by Su Hu's family.
