The child's expression was solemn and nodded, at this time Bei Yiming found that there was a hideous and terrifying scar on the right side of his face, from the corner of his mouth to the position of his ear, his brows furrowed, as a doctor, he could see that the scar was scratched by a blunt object, and from the bright red color of the scar, as well as the shape of the high convexity, it was just a little better, and immediately used a blunt instrument to cut the wound that had just healed again, and repeated it several times, before such a high raised red and bright scar appeared.

Bei Yiming frowned, he couldn't think of anyone who would treat a five or six-year-old child so cruelly.

At this time, the proprietress sighed and muttered: "Evil, evil!" With that, she walked up to her husband, pushed him away, picked up a kitchen knife, cut a large plate of beef, and served it.

The child ostensibly listened to his father's words, but after taking a bite, he still secretly picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into the bottom of his father's bowl. ”

The proprietress touched the child's head with red eyes and said, "Give it to you, eat it quickly." ”

The father hurriedly said, "Thank you." Speaking of the pair of children, he said: "Shui Sheng, thank you, Auntie, quickly." ”

The child named Shui Sheng immediately said obediently: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

The proprietress touched the child's head again and told him to eat quickly, and then went back, and just about to brush the dishes again, she heard the boss complain: "You send them beef every day, and if you continue to send it like this, I don't think our noodle stall is too special." ”

The proprietress pushed the boss and said, "What are you yelling about?" Did you have a conscience to let the dog eat? We are at least better than them, and we can help a little if we can. ”

The father seemed to hear the conversation between the husband and wife, sighed, stretched out his hand and patted his son's hand without saying anything, and ate the noodles in a big gulp, and quickly finished eating.

Shui Sheng also gobbled up the noodles, he and his father didn't move, he took out a dirty handkerchief from his pocket, and then put the beef on the plate into it with his little black hand, wrapped it carefully, and then picked up his cane, which was just a broken wooden stick, stood up with difficulty, and then bowed to the boss and the proprietress, and then took his father's blind cane and took him away.

The boss saw the scene of them wrapping beef and complained: "Just eat it, if you can't eat it, you still pack it?" What's that? ”

The proprietress immediately pushed him and said, "You shut up for me." After finishing speaking, she went over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she picked up the plate where the beef was placed, she was stunned, because there was a handful of crumpled banknotes pressed underneath, there were no large ones, most of them were five cents and one piece, and the largest denomination was only one of five yuan, and there was only one.

Seeing the money, the boss's tears immediately fell, she took the money and looked up, but had lost the father and son, the boss came to his wife, saw the crumpled and dirty money in her hand, lowered her head, and her face was full of remorse.

Bei Yiming's eyes were sour, the disabled father and son had a worse life than many people, but they straightened their backs and guarded the last dignity in their hearts, which moved and moved Bei Yiming.

He stood up and said to the proprietress "You know them?" ”

The proprietress wiped a handful of tears and sighed: "I don't know each other, they come to eat beef noodles every once in a while, I know that the child's name is Shuisheng, and I don't know what his father's name is, but I often see the child picking up rags on this street alone, turning over the garbage cans every day, picking up those leftover mineral water bottles and drink bottles, and he will also pick up what others are still eating." ”

Bei Yiming let out a long sigh when he heard this, this kid was not easy, and he said again: "Do you know how to get the injury on his face?" ”

The proprietress shook her head and said that she didn't know, Bei Yiming didn't have the heart to eat, he wanted to find the father and son, help them, put down the money, and he walked in the direction where the father and son left.

Bei Yiming looked for a morning and didn't meet them, asked a lot of people, and some people said that they often saw the child come out to pick up the rags, but they didn't know if they lived.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Bei Yiming bought a bottle of water to hide in the shade of the tree to drink, he was also thirsty, and drank the water dry in one breath, just put down the mineral water bottle and found that someone was watching him behind him, Bei Yiming turned his head violently, and immediately saw the child called Shui Sheng looking at the bottle in his hand.

Bei Yiming's sudden turn of action startled Shui Sheng, he subconsciously took two steps back on crutches, and then said boldly with those clean eyes: "Uncle, do you still want that bottle?" Can you give it to me if you don't want it? ”

When Bei Yiming heard this, when he saw the hideous and terrifying scar on Shui Sheng's face, as well as his crippled leg, the tears almost didn't come down, he squatted down and said softly: "Tell Uncle Sù how old are you!" ”

Shui Sheng said: "I'm seven years old, uncle, give me the bottle, the nearest garbage bin around here has to cross a road, it's too hot, you ......"

Without waiting for Shui Sheng to finish speaking, Bei Yiming first handed him the bottle, then took out his wallet, took out all the cash in it and handed it to him, "Take it, buy something to eat." ”

Shui Sheng only took the bottle, but did not accept the money, he shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't want your money, thank you for giving me the bottle." After speaking, Chong Bei Yiming bowed, turned around and left.

Bei Yiming stood and shouted: "You wait......"

But Shui Sheng didn't look back, turned into an alley with difficulty, and disappeared in front of Bei Yiming's eyes.

At this time, there was a sigh, and an uncle looked at the direction in which Shui Sheng disappeared and said: "This kid never wants money from people, at most he wants the worthless mineral water bottle, and he doesn't want anything for him to eat." ”

Bei Yiming was stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredible, he was only seven years old, he was still a child, he shouldn't know much about the truth of food that comes to him, he is saying that well-wishers give money to eat, it is not considered food to eat, he should want it, why doesn't he want that? It's weird.

Bei Yiming said: "Uncle, he doesn't want it, and his father doesn't want it either?" ”

The uncle shook his head and said: "Don't, whoever has to give it, who else is in a hurry, even the community sends them some firewood, rice, oil and salt, they don't want it." ”

Bei Yiming was surprised: "But why is this?" ”

The uncle sighed again and said: "No one knows, why, in short, this father and son don't accept anyone's handouts, so they rely on that kid to pick up some scrap and sell it for money to live, do you know?" The people who do business on this street, seeing that they are pitiful, often put some waste in order and put it at the door, waiting for the aquatic life to come and get it, but the child did not go, and had to rummage in the garbage can, alas!
