The pesticide bottle didn't think that far, the only thing that could be done was that when the other party closed the stall, it was already night, and the cobbler picked up the line and ordered: "Little ghost, take two steps, try?" ”

As soon as the pesticide bottle stood up, the soles of his feet were numb, and he felt a pain, and he reluctantly took a step.

With a "sigh ......", the pesticide bottle cracked and fell to the ground.

The cobbler laid down his burden and cried, "Little imp, can you still get up?" ”

"Uncle, I'm lame and can't walk......" The pesticide bottle collapsed helplessly on the ground.

"Little ghost, you wait here, I'll come back to you again......"

The cobbler shook off his sentence, picked up his line, and left.

The pesticide bottle lies on the side of the street, like a lame little beggar, lonely, pitiful, hungry, and in pain......

Do you just wait for death?

Half an hour later, the cobbler appeared, accompanied by a little girl of about five or six years old, wearing a T-shirt with a heart and pink pants underneath.

The little girl squirmed a little, hiding behind the adults, looking timidly.

The pesticide bottle thought to himself, he is like this, is it possible that even children discriminate against him?

"Little ghost, this is my child, called Xiaoshuang, it's a little brother, call it brother......" The cobbler called to the child.

The pesticide bottle is confused, it's obviously a little girl, how did she become a little brother, is it a nail, and her brain is also broken?

The cobbler picked up the pesticide bottle on his back, and the little pair followed happily, chattering all the way: "Brother...... Okay, have a companion to play with me. ”

After walking 300 meters, you will enter an alley, which at that time was a dilapidated old house, mostly made of blue bricks and black tiles, and mud-walled houses, similar to those of today's remote villages.

A woman in her thirties and forties, greased and powdered, with a somewhat out of shape. Leaning against the door and shouting, "Where did the broken child come back from the shoe mending shoes?" ”

"Beauty, this is a wandering orphan with a broken foot. I'll bring it back and raise it for a few days. The cobbler put down the pesticide bottle, and Xiaoshuang had already moved a small wooden stool, and the pesticide bottle sat down, looking around, and the surrounding area was a qiē. It feels both familiar and unfamiliar.

"You are the life of poverty, and I ask you to come to me on weekdays to spend a little money, but you still pick the door, you are reluctant to pay, and you suffer from it...... But your heart is okay, your wife ran away, and you still have this sick child, neither male nor female, it's a hard life! The woman was shouting on the other side.

Small double. Neither male nor female, isn't it a little brother?

A qiē full of doubts?

"This is the aunt who lives in the opposite house, don't run to him if you have nothing to do, she has ......to do business," explained the cobbler, and went to cook for herself.

Although the pesticide bottle is young, she also knows what the woman does for a living.

I have been here with my friends before, and some older children have encouraged them to do some things like taking sheep and stealing chickens and dogs, such as taking a long stick. Pick out someone's pants and take the contents for yourself.

I just can't understand why those stout men obviously see children challenging him. However, they do not care, and take care of their own affairs, or run away like a frightened bird, and do not give up, as they do on the street.

Again, why are there so many adult men. Young and old, go around this alley.

The only gain, for a woman with a similar skin and meat career, the pesticide bottle can be seen at a glance, and it has long exceeded his age, which is also a social university, which has taught him a lot of knowledge that cannot be obtained in books.

The iron battalion, the flowing soldiers, things are just people.

Now that the benefactor has brought himself here, is it really as the woman said, is the other party going to abduct and sell him? The fate after that was even more confusing.

I heard that there are people who abduct and sell children, either the children are disabled and become little beggars, or they will be severely beaten if they don't get money; There are even more sensational ones, buying organs from a child's body......

The pesticide bottle gasped, his eyes full of fear, but did he have a choice? His fate is like an ant on the ground, which is trampled by others.

A glass of water from both sides.

Drinking it in one gulp, the pesticide bottle kept smacking its tongue, it seemed to be a delicious delicacy in the world, and the stomach gurgled uncontrollably.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the cobbler to prepare the meal and place it on the small wooden table in the outhouse, and the three of them were ready to eat.

Xiaoshuang sensibly went to bring the rice.

The pesticide bottle was gratefully taken and couldn't help but gobble it up.

"Half-grown child, eat dead old man, mend shoes, how can you do your best to lose money, but only to me so slammed the door......" The woman leaned against the door frame and accosted, "I can't even smoke a cigarette, but it's so good for a little broken child?" ”

The chopsticks of the pesticide bottle are stretched and contracted, although it is a child, it is still dignified, the so-called sensitive and fragile heart, but it is extremely strong, although the other party does not mean this, but how can I be embarrassed, let go of the belly, and then eat?

The cobbler was drinking, and at this moment he took a bottle, which was cheap loose wine without a label, filled half a bowl of wine into an empty bowl, then closed the bottle cap, and said slowly: "How many dollars can I have, you don't know?" Catch up with Ming'er and don't know where to survive? Sit down and have a drink. ”

The woman picked it up, took a sip, and then took a sip: "Such a bad cat urine ......"

"How can I compare with you? I don't earn as much as you earn a few days a month from mending shoes. "The cobbler snorted.

"Brother, who has the money to live this kind of life, it's also to live, isn't it just that there is no one to support it, and it is a last resort." The woman chatted with each other, "I think you're pretty good, I'll come and talk to you in the evening...... When the broken child finishes eating, give him more to eat. ”

I saw the bottom of the bowl of the pesticide bottle see the light, because of the inconvenience of movement, and I was embarrassed to speak, the pesticide bottle put the bowl on the table.

In order to live, you can't choose your own way of life as you like, even if you are at the bottom, as cheap as ants, or people who are not ashamed of everyone, you still have a love for the weak.

The cobbler was drunk and confused, and shouted: "Xiaoshuang, bring food to my brother, it's the time to grow your body, eat enough......"

"Dad, there's only one bowl of rice in the pot, it's just enough for you to eat......" Xiaoshuang replied loudly.

"I'll have one more bowl of wine, and I won't have to eat...... "The cobbler unveiled the bottle and refilled the bowl.

Zi said: "A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures......"

The pesticide bottle eats two small bowls of rice and drinks a glass of water, in this poor hut, no one else can stand this kind of poverty, but he is so moved that his face is full of tears, sparkling, a room full of people, blurred in the sight. (To be continued.) )

PS: You can't empathize without the experience of starvation.
