Taking Emily by the hand, Mo Lan slipped into her home.

The reason why she went in instead of walking in was because Emily's home was not only dilapidated, but also very low, with a door made of thin wooden planks only about 1.6 meters high, which was lower than Mo Lan's height.

But it was nothing, and the scene in this home made her stunned on the spot.

The room is less than 20 square meters in size, and more than half of the area is piled up with all kinds of miscellaneous items that look more like garbage, plastic buckets, torn clothes, old tires, rusty iron pots, and all kinds of miscellaneous things that can't be named, and the smell is even more foul than the outside.

A hole was broken in the corner of the roof, and the sun was letting in, and a bed made of old wood was where Emily's family slept, and on it lay a thin woman, and a little girl of three or four years old sitting next to her, playing with dolls.

This doll is exactly what Mo Lan gave to Emily the other day.

In addition, there were two boys who were identical and apparently twins, leaning timidly on the side of the bed, looking at Mo Lan and Luo Kai who came to their house with anxious eyes.

After Mo Lan and Luo Kai followed Emily in, the house became more and more cramped, and no more people could be squeezed in, so the accompanying translators and guards could only wait outside.

Luo Kai noticed Mo Lan's expression and quietly took her hand.

Mo Lan's gaffe is very normal, because she came from a wealthy upper class, where has she ever seen a living room with such poor conditions, even if she followed Luo Kai to Luojia Village, she lived in a newly built villa built by the Luo family.

And Luo Kai knows very well that in this vast and poor African land, there are too many families like Emily, and the Republic of Saga is not bad, at least the people have gotten rid of the pain of war and lived at least a stable life.

But they still have a long way to go if they want to get out of poverty.

Emily walked over to the bed and said a few words to the woman lying on the bed, who barely bothered herself and gave a dry smile to Luo Kai and Mo Lan.

She looked very haggard, with high cheekbones, bulging eyes, whispering something and lying down weakly.

Mo Lan couldn't help but ask, "Is your mother sick?"

She knew that Emily lived with her mother, two younger brothers and a younger sister, and that Emily's father had died of illness a few years earlier.

Emily blinked at Mo Lan's inquiry, revealing a puzzled look.

Mo Lan then remembered that she couldn't understand her own words at all, and the interpreter was still outside the house!

Luo Kai said, "Let's go out and talk first." ”

Mo Lan shook her head, she took out her mobile phone and handed it to Luo Kai: "Help me take a picture with Emily." ”

The scene she saw for the first time just now made Mo Lan feel a shock from her heart, and she felt that she had to do something, otherwise she would not be at ease in this life.

Luo Kai took her phone wordlessly.

Mo Lan walked over and stood in front of the bed, reached out and touched Emily's mother's forehead, there was no sign of heat.

Emily was confused.

Mo Lan smiled slightly, squatted down and held her hand: "Don't worry, I'll help you." ”

Emily didn't know why, but she was infected by Mo Lan's smile and nodded subconsciously.

And this scene was filmed by Luo Kai with his mobile phone.

At this moment, Luo Kai did not know that the photo he had just taken by pressing the shutter would appear on the cover of Time magazine many years later.

Because the room was too crowded and the language barrier was incomprehensible, the two took Emily back outside the house.

At this time, Mo Lan questioned Emily through a translator, only to learn that her mother had been in poor health during this time, and she had also been to the hospital to see her, and the result of the doctor's examination was malnutrition and overwork.

And her mother is the only pillar of the family, if it weren't for Emily's extreme luck to get the opportunity to participate in the filming of "Operation Thunder" and thus get a payment, I really don't know what this family would become!

After listening to Emily's story, Mo Lan's eyes turned red, and she grabbed Luo Kai's hand tightly and said, "Let them move all the things in the car quickly, and we will send more food tomorrow." ”

She was glad that she sensed that something was wrong with Emily and came to visit, otherwise she would have thought that Emily's home would be in such a predicament.

Luo Kai frowned and asked, "Are you going to give Emily everything we brought?"

"Isn't it?"

Mo Lan was very surprised: "We don't lack this thing." ”

"We have no shortage of them. ”

Luo Kai sighed and said, "Do you see that apart from Emily's family, her neighbors are also lacking?Do you think it's a good thing to give everything to Emily?"

There were a lot of people around, apparently residents of the neighborhood, poverty and numbness written on their dark faces, some of them trying to approach with excitement and anticipation in their eyes, but were stopped by the soldiers.

Although she had just seen the real suffering of the world, Mo Lan was not a person who owed emotional intelligence, and she immediately understood the meaning of Luo Kai's words.

The human heart cannot stand the test, especially the poor and hungry, if the boxes of food are given to Emily under the noses of these people, what will happen when Luo Kai and the others leave?

I can't imagine!

Mo Lan realized that her decision might have almost hurt Emily, and she was very sad: "Then what should we do? Give her a little bit first?"

Luo Kai shook his head: "Let me arrange it." ”

He called an interpreter, consulted with the Saiga soldiers in charge of the escort, and moved the food loaded in the car.

Sure enough, when they saw these foods, there was a commotion among the people around them, and several soldiers raised their automatic rifles and shouted loudly to deter them, and finally suppressed them.

The instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and canned meat were then distributed to the people around them while the Saiga soldiers were in charge of maintaining order.

Of course, one from Emily's family is indispensable, a little more than others, but not much more.

That way, Emily's neighbors won't covet her share of the food and will be grateful for the benefits she has brought to everyone.

It's just that because he didn't expect it in advance, Mo Lan didn't bring a lot of food, so he could only barely help some people.

As it was getting late, after the food was distributed, the interpreters and embassy staff urged them to go back.

Mo Lan touched Emily's little face and reluctantly said goodbye to her.

As the convoy set out on its way home, Mo Lan turned around and saw Emily running behind through the rear window, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

The first one is sent.
