Chapter 1340: A Beggar's Life
"I'm sorry, I'm late today, hurry up and eat something, don't be hungry."
Lin Ran took out mineral water and bread from the bag and fed the little doll seriously.
By the way, he explained to Jiangnan and Li Haoqiang: "I was shopping on the street once, and I happened to see her grandfather holding her and begging, so I bought some food for them by the way."
Later, whenever I met them on the street, I would give them something to eat.
About half a month ago, no matter how I walked around the street, I couldn't see the two of them.
Later, after inquiring with some beggars I knew, I learned about the slum and came here.
On the day I came, her grandfather didn't know who had beaten her, and she had many injuries on her body, and she was dying.
And she was too young to know anything, just sleeping in the arms of her grandfather, who was covered in wounds. ”
The little doll may be hungry, so she can't bother to rub her hazy eyes, and she holds the bread and gnaws it down.
It looked like a whining kitten.
I was in too much of a hurry to eat, and I finally choked and coughed constantly.
She was so thin that her whole body was shaking when she coughed, and it was sad to look at.
Even Li Haoqiang frowned, because he came out to mix, and his background was quite humble.
So after so many years, Li Haoqiang has seen too many poor people, and he has long seen it.
But the scene of a three- or four-year-old doll trying to nibble on bread, choking and coughing constantly was a little difficult to accept after watching it.
There are too many poor people in this world, and children are the ones who are the easiest to cause people to be pitied.
"Her grandfather saw me and struggled to get up.
Kneel in front of me and kowtow to me constantly.
I wanted to help him, but he had a lot of strength that day, and he kept kowtowing to me on his knees. ”
"Why did he kowtow to you?" Jiang Nan glanced at the little doll and asked curiously.
"I don't know, her grandfather just said something to me vaguely, and the environment was too noisy and chaotic at that time, and I really didn't hear it clearly."
"And then?"
Then her grandfather knelt in this wooden shed, kneeling there, and choked in constant kowtows.
I called the doctor to try to save the day, but it was too late. ”
After Lin Ran finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little calm.
Jiang Nan and Li Haoqiang talked, but they were silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Actually, I noticed them because his grandfather was different from other beggars."
Lin Ran twisted a bottle of mineral water for the little doll and continued.
"What's the difference?"
"You know what? Since I was born, I have seen too many beggars, especially in the slums here, where I can see hundreds of beggars every day.
However, they all begged on their knees.
Only her grandfather sat upright on the side of the street.
There were no tattered rice bowls in front of him, and there were no written begging signs.
Maintain the dignity he deserves, still hold his waist and reveal, and will not go to the lowly begging people.
But if someone gives some change for food, no matter how much or less, he will definitely nod very seriously and say thank you with his hands folded.
But some beggars nowadays are not like this, if you give less change, or if you don't give money and only give him food, he will definitely laugh at you for being stingy and so on. ”
"This is the status quo of society, there is no way!"
Jiang Nan sighed helplessly.
In this sinister world with its superficial glamour behind its back, many people are becoming more and more insidious, disguised as beggars and disabled people to go to the streets to beg for food and beg in order to earn something for nothing.
Some people even abduct and sell children, break their legs or arms, and order them to beg on the streets, while they watch behind their backs and eat and drink spicy food.
With the development of the times, they all keep pace with the times, and they will bring a QR code when they go to the street.
Don't have cash?
Yes, scan the code first!
There are some kind people who pity them for no reason and will give a lot of money.
As everyone knows, those people can even earn as much as your day's salary.
Not long ago, there was even a young girl in Lijiang who was safe and sound, with hands and feet, holding up a sign that read: Because this girl was born beautiful, her limbs are sound, she is healthy, she is naturally beautiful, and her beauty is like a flower. So I don't want to go to work, so I'm begging here!
Justified begging, this kind of person is even more hateful than those 'prostitutes'.
At the very least, people rely on their bodies to make money and work hard to make money.
The state has no explicit regulations to stop these people, so over the years, there have been more and more strange human beings who have taken to the streets to beg.
"That day, her grandfather kept kowtowing to me, and he burst into tears.
Let me...... I...... felt that at the last moment of his life, he chose to give up his dignity in order to let this little doll live. ”
The corners of Lin Ran's eyes were slightly moist, and his voice was a little choked.
Even now, when she thinks back to the scene of that day, she is still very touched by it.
"What the hell did he tell you?"
"I really didn't hear clearly, not a word.
At that time, there were beggars making noise in the streets, and the noise was so loud that it was not easy to hear at all. ”
Lin Ran pursed his lips, his eyes a little innocent.
"Plus, I just wanted to help him up, so I didn't care that much.
Unexpectedly, he died in the end, just kneeling. ”
"And then?"
Then I saw that the little doll was pitiful, and I wanted to take her home.
But you know, it's not been a war lately, and it's too dangerous up and down the dragon gate.
Longmen are a group of rough men, and I am afraid of scaring this little doll, and I have had a bad influence on her since I was a child.
I don't have much time to raise her, so for the time being, I can only let her stay here and bring some food every day.
For the past two days, I have been looking for a suitable well-wisher who wants to adopt a child, and then I sent her out. ”
Lin Ran also thought about the little girl, otherwise he would have taken her out of the slum a long time ago.
However, the environment of Longmen is really not suitable for such a young child's life, and Lin Ran is helpless, let alone a good way.
"Let me hug me."
Jiang Nan tried his best to squeeze out the harmless smile of humans and animals, and reached out to hug the little doll.
But the little doll seemed to be very afraid of being born, and huddled tightly in Lin Ran's arms.
With his head buried in his arms and not looking at Jiangnan, his body trembled even more.
Lin Ran smiled awkwardly, and first comforted the little doll by himself for a while.
I felt that it was almost there, so I let go slightly.
Jiang Nan carefully hugged him into his arms, for fear that a bad move would make him cry.
