Chapter 32: Desolation in the midst of prosperity

When Li Jiu'er covered her head and stopped, after she woke up, she calmed down and found that the place in front of her had arrived in a nameless alley in Red Sleeve City, only to see that the surroundings were in tatters, and on both sides of the street were shacks built with rotten linen and straw sheds, and there were refugees lying on the ground, some sleeping, some sitting and begging and chatting.

Seeing a girl suddenly break in, everyone opened their eyes in surprise and looked at it together.

Li Jiu'er looked at the figures behind her, but there were no Chu Yun and Tang Yue, she was terrified, like a helpless kitten, when she was about to leave.

"Stand ......". A thin-faced man with a dirty face next to him shouted.

Li Jiu'er stopped, and the thin-faced man stood up from the ground on the side and walked over slowly.

The people in the tattered cloth sheds on both sides of the alley looked over one after another, looking at the rare liveliness of the year.

The thin-faced man walked up to Li Jiu'er, didn't look at Li Jiu'er, crossed his waist, and stretched out a dry palm: "Girl, do you want to leave without leaving anything when you come?"

Li Jiu'er glanced at the thin-faced man in front of him, and quickly lowered his head in fright, and said, "Stay... Stay, what's next?"

"Hehe, are you really stupid or fake? Silver, of course. The thin-faced man laughed.

"I ...... I, I don't have any silver. Li Jiu'er said.

"Oh he...... No, right?" The thin-faced man looked around Li Jiu'er, as if looking at a strange object, and continued for a long time: "If not, give this to me...... Hey. The thin-faced man grabbed the hairpin on Li Jiu'er's head.

Li Jiu'er wanted to dodge, but the thin-faced man shot too fast, and he couldn't dodge the hairpin on his head, and scattered a messy broken hair.

"You ......". Li Jiu'er looked at the thin-faced man in front of him angrily, but he dared not speak angrily.

"Believe it or not, I ripped off your clothes, hehehe. The thin-faced man smiled sinisterly with a mouthful of yellow front teeth.

"Dog three, what kind of ability are you bullying a girl. ”

A sixty-year-old man in the cloth next to him looked at this thin-faced man named Dog San so embarrassed, and a girl couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked out and shouted.

Gou San looked at the old man and smiled obscenely: "Yes, Old Man Zhou has only been here for two days, so he is nosy?"

The old man who came out to relieve the siege was Zhou Laohan, Gao Jin because Li Jiu'er knew Long Xingyu, so he sent people to smash Zhou Laohan's house, where Li Jiu'er lived, and drove Zhou Laohan out of the house. Zhou Laohan, who had nowhere to go, came here.

"Girl......" Zhou Laohan was about to comfort this girl not to be afraid, but he saw that it was Li Jiu'er at a glance. Zhou Laohan trembled his fingers excitedly, and his mouth trembled, "Nine...... Nine girls, why are you ......?"

Li Jiu'er looked at the old man Zhou who was speechless in front of him, and helped the broken hair on his face, "Grandpa, do you know me?"

Old man Zhou was puzzled, and Gou San smiled, "Old man Zhou, no one else knows you, what are you doing, are you impatient?"

Zhou Laohan looked at Li Jiu'er, who was in a trance and haggard, and secretly thought, didn't this girl have suffered something? He was stunned and then said, "Dog San, if you have the ability, find someone from the Gao family, what kind of ability is it to bully a little girl." ”

This refugee shed area is said to be an alley but wider than the main street of Yongxing City, and is called "Jiyu Street", because the location is in the northwest corner of Yongxing City, there is only one exit, that is, to detour to Yongxing Zheng Street to get out of the city, so this deserted street is like a "dead end", it is the abandoned place behind the prosperity of Yongxing City.

All the people in Yongxing City who have no place to live, cannot afford to eat, are oppressed, and beggars are scattered here, this is their haven and their home. They are like groups of superfluous people gathered together, just like the name of this street "Jiyu Street", gathering some superfluous people and flowing together.

At this time, some neighbors who couldn't look at it, uncles and aunts all came around: "Yes, yes, bullying a girl is not called ability." ”

When Gou San heard everyone say what they said, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "Old man Zhou, my Gou San is still bullying today, what's wrong?"

"You ....... Old man Zhou was so angry that his face turned red and pointed at the dog, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"What, such a good-looking girl, I care about it. After Gou San finished speaking, he picked up his fingers and pinched Li Jiu'er's face.

Old Man Zhou was annoyed, and hurriedly pushed away Gou San's hand and blocked Li Jiu'er's side.

"Stinky old man, you've lived enough, haven't you? Dog San kicked Zhou Laohan angrily, and Zhou Laohan couldn't dodge it and fell to the ground.

"Grandpa. Li Jiu'er was in a hurry to help Zhou Laohan.

Dog Sanyi pushed Li Jiu'er, and Li Jiu'er, who was already weak, pushed Dog San so hard.

Li Jiu'er slid towards the wall of the street, impartially, and just hit a raised edge.

"Ah....... In an instant, Li Jiu'er's head broke and he slowly fell down.

Zhou Laohan was heartbroken when he saw this, and since the death of his wife, he has been thinking about Li Jiu'er day and night, this girl is like his child. I didn't expect that when we met today, this child would change so much, and I don't know how much suffering he has suffered, but he looks like this.

"Child, ......!" Zhou Laohan cried out bitterly.

The neighbors couldn't sit still anymore when they saw it,

"Murderous ......"

"Dog three, you ...... who killed a thousand knives"

Dog San saw that Li Jiu'er's head was bleeding nonstop, and stayed in place for a while, this dog San is usually the master who eats soft and is afraid of hard, this really happened to him, he was stunned for a while, and quickly slipped away while no one noticed him.

Zhou Laohan took the white cloth that everyone found and hurriedly bandaged Li Jiu'er tightly with the neighbors, so that the bleeding could be stopped.

......

Li Jiu'er was in a coma, only to feel a scene of the past rushing into her mind, boundless and long darkness, she slept in this darkness, she wanted to wake up, but she didn't have the strength to open her eyes.

"Girl, girl, ......" Zhou Laohan looked at Li Jiu'er, who was in a cold sweat and had hot forehead, and kept talking in his dreams and twisting his body. Exclaimed in distress.

"I said Old Man Zhou, this girl is really your granddaughter. On the side, who was younger than Zhou Laohan, an elderly woman looked at the unconscious Li Jiu'er and asked.

"Alas, Aunt He won't tell you, a few days ago, when my wife and I were passing through the suburbs outside the city with relatives, we saw the girl in front of me unconscious, and after saving it, I recognized it as a granddaughter. Zhou Laohan wiped a handful of old tears and sighed.

Speaking of this, Zhou Laohan felt uncomfortable again, and couldn't help but think that he and his wife had been haunted for many years because their son did not know the life and death of their son. Now I finally met a little girl who could be a granddaughter, but she went through such hardships.

"Okay, okay, what's the use of crying, we have to hurry up and see the girl!" Aunt He said decisively.

Immediately ignored the old man Gao, walked out of the rag shed, and shouted: "Hey, hey, neighbors, the granddaughter of the old man crashed like this this week, we can't care about it, right? ”

After Aunt He shouted for a while, the people on both sides of the street came over from the shack, and everyone was familiar with each other on weekdays. At this time, Aunt He said this and donated generously.

"Aunt He, come to me here with two copper coins."

"I'll have a few of them too, and I'll make them up for you. ”

"Grandma He, my father said that he had no money, so let me give this and this egg to my sister to make up for her body. A little girl of four or five years old said in a childish tone.

"Hey, little hairball, thank you dad for me," Aunt He caressed the little girl's brain and said painfully.

Most of the poor people in this "Jiyu Street" have no financial resources, no houses, and no land. However, even if they didn't eat, they still donated their pockets and took out some of their only possessions, which they may have saved and left, or they begged for them, no matter what, these hearts are full of the simplicity of the poor, after all, there are very few ruffians like Dog San.

"Old man Zhou, you hurry up and grab some herbs for this girl and come back, this girl just felt in a trance, this is good, I broke my head again, and I was infected with the wind cold. Aunt He held the scattered money gathered by the neighborhood and said anxiously to Zhou Laohan.

Zhou Laohan stood up, hammered his back, looked at the unconscious Li Jiu'er and said uneasily: "Ahem, this girl will trouble Aunt He." ”

"Alas, go, go, leave it to me, you can rest assured. Aunt He waved her hand and said impatiently.

Old man Zhou sighed "sigh", propped up his back, and staggered in the direction of the pharmacy. The kick of the dog just now made him, an old man, still unbearable, and only then did he feel a terrible pain.

Looking at Zhou Laohan's back and walking away, Aunt He went back to the shed and looked at the unconscious Li Jiu'er and sighed, "Alas, this poor man has a lot of tribulations!"

Looking at the restless Li Jiu'er, Aunt He comforted her while applying a hot towel to her forehead.

At this time, a small brain melon poked in from the edge of the shack, shook two clever little eyes, and leaned on the door and asked, "Grandma He, Grandma He, can I go in and see my sister?"

Aunt He saw that it was a little hairball, so she quickly beckoned, and said with a "shhhhhh ”

The little furball slid in like a "little loach" in a flash, pursed her lips and whispered, "Sister, is she awake?"

Aunt He shook her head and did not speak.

"Grandma He, when my sister wakes up, I'll give this to her for me, okay?" The little furball took out a piece of candy and carefully put it on Aunt He's hand, blinking her eyes and asking.

In this kind of miserable life, Aunt He naturally knows how hard a piece of candy is for a child, and the little girl in front of her, who is less than five years old, wants to leave the only candy for Li Jiu'er who is in a coma.

Aunt He looked at the candy that the little hairball put in her hand and her eyes blurred instantly, tears welled up in her entire eyes, and she said softly: "Hey, grandma promises you." ”

The little furball heard that Aunt He promised herself, and ran out happily.
