Chapter 22: Good people are hard to do
As soon as the three villains left, the little boy who sold the newspaper stood up and slapped his dirty clothes calmly.
Coriander looked at him and found that he was seven or eight years old, not tall, thin, ragged, and dressed even more shabby than her.
Small feet wear big shoes, and they don't even have socks. The pair of ill-fitting fluffy old leather shoes must have been turned out of some garbage heap, and they were so dirty that they couldn't see their original color. The shoes do not have matching laces, but they are tied with hand-woven straw rope.
The suit he was wearing was clearly ill-fitting with patches everywhere, with half of his dirty calves exposed under his trouser legs and half of his dirty little arms at the cuffs. It's not yet spring in April, and the cold wind is blowing a lot of times, isn't this child afraid of the cold?
Don't look at him dirty, but the newspapers in his bag are clean.
It's very distressing to have a child like this.
Coriander raised her hand to help him slap his clothes, but the little boy dodged away.
He raised his little face, glared at her very unappreciatively, pouted and "snorted" heavily, then turned his head and said, "The dog takes the mouse, it's really nosy!"
Coriander couldn't believe her eyes and ears! What did she see and what did she hear!? She tried to convince herself to see the injustice and draw a knife to help, and she didn't want him to repay anything at the beginning, this kid didn't know how to repay it, even a word of gratitude was enough, and of course she had to throw her face to show her, and she didn't know how to scold her for being nosy?
In these days, do you need to get the consent of others in advance to be a good person?
It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a good person!
Coriander's frozen hand in the air changed to point at the boy's abrupt nose, opened his apricot eyes and said:
"You, you, you, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people! The next time, if I am beaten by you again, even if you cry and beg me, see if I can save you! ”
"Who saved you!" The little boy's face was unwilling, if he grew up a little bigger, he wouldn't need anyone's help, and he would be able to beat all those bad guys away!
He glanced up and down at the thin coriander, his eyes full of indignation.
In a few years, let's see who's better than whom!
I didn't have time to deal with the bear child, and after throwing him a frightened look, Coriander shook her hand and left.
It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of old birds and small birds!
If you want to say angry or wronged, in fact, there is a little bit, for such a thing, coriander can really turn a blind eye, if it weren't for the pity of the child, it wouldn't be soft-hearted for a while, I didn't expect the child's personality to be so bad.
She had just glanced at the quaint Western-style clock next to the street sign and saw that the staggered hour and minute hands pointed to about 3:40.
Seeing that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the business had not been done yet, she didn't want to return in vain, even if she didn't find Lin Sihai, at least she had to find out the location of his address.
Coriander inquired about the place when she met people, "Sir, I'm sorry, excuse me, how to get to Meijia Lane in the old city street?" ”
The young man she asked for directions took a cigarette in his mouth, spat out a smoke ring, and squinted at the coriander.
Being stared at by the other party's bewildered gaze, Coriander felt uncomfortable, as if there was a feeling that the prey was being targeted, and there was an urge to escape.
The other party smiled suddenly, and his tone was kind, "The old city street is not easy to find, and most people don't know where it is, you really asked the right person, my house is near there." He stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, "You go east along the side of the road, and when you see the sign on Longcheng Street East Road, turn to your left, and after entering the alley, ......" The man was stuck when he said this, showing a reluctant look, "That place is not easy to find, I can't tell clearly, or I'll take you there!" ”
This person looks very kind and kind, and he looks very good at talking, but Coriander always thinks that he is not honest, and he may not know what kind of flowery intestines he has in his stomach.
Coriander smiled at him gratefully, "Don't bother, I remember what you said." ”
The street is full of people, and Coriander doesn't believe that she can't ask the right person and find the wrong place. She followed the path that the man pointed out to her, and really saw the street sign on Longcheng Street East Road, and there was indeed a deep alley on the left-hand side.
Coriander looked around for a while, always feeling a little weird, and she found that there were few pedestrians near the entrance of this alley. There are so many people coming and going on Longcheng Avenue East Road, and they would rather take a detour to the opposite side of the road than pass through here.
Why, isn't this alley the same dimension as Longcheng Street East Road?
She saw two people coming out of the alley from a distance, so she greeted them.
As soon as she stepped into the alley, she immediately felt that something was wrong. She noticed the two men on her face, with a triumphant smile on their faces.
Cilantro immediately paused, and at this time there was a chaotic and hurried footsteps behind her, and she stood in place and looked back, only to see that the young man she had asked for directions before had two more people hurrying over, and they all slowed down when they approached her.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, jackals, tigers and leopards are clearly one family, all of them are fierce beasts that eat people and do not spit out bones.
As early as when Cilantro asked the man for directions, she felt that the other party must be making some name, and she thought that if she didn't let him lead the way, she wouldn't be able to follow him, but she didn't expect that in the end, she would throw herself into the net!
Ouch hey, what a pig brain!
Coriander was drunk under her own IQ, and when she saw a bright knife in her hand, she immediately came to her senses.
Needless to say, these five people are obviously all the way.
"Get all the money out!" The person in front of him said in a rough voice.
They dare to block the road and rob in broad daylight, but they are afraid that they are habitual offenders in this area.
If a person robbed her in the same situation, Coriander might be so frightened that her legs trembled, indicating that the person was somewhat capable of doing it alone. But the other party's five big and three rough wild men, blocking her a seemingly weak young man, are obviously some dogs who bully more and bully, and they are strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and they are not worthy of the name.
Coriander sneered, but instead of showing weakness, she became more and more aggressive, "You're really looking for the wrong person," she said as she rolled up her sleeves, "If you want to blame your bad luck, I'm worried that I can't find a place to vent!" ”
Five pairs of eyes flickered at the same time, and I saw that the young man who seemed to be a bully was like a spring under his feet, and he actually jumped up on the spot, his light body swirled in mid-air, and landed with a wail.
The other four reacted and saw their knife-wielding companion leaning against the wall with his bleeding right hand in his left hand and wailing. The knife that was originally in his hand was lying quietly at his feet at the moment, sucking the blood dripping from the tiger's mouth in his palm.
