Chapter Seventy-Six: The Alley
It seems that this place is really as short of supplies as the rumors say, and these may be the lowest residents of the ghost sorrow, one by one, emaciated, and extremely ugly, I am afraid that it is the result of long-term malnutrition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But when Liu He and the others walked a few streets and came to a winding alley, they found that the situation of the people they saw just now was already very good compared to here.
The alley is lined with dwellings, with hardly any gaps between them, but they are not strictly speaking, but are simply built with broken wooden planks.
In this case, it seems reasonable to have no gaps, and the two wooden houses can support each other and be relatively warm when the weather is cold.
In contrast to the bustling street, the doors of the residents were closed, and they could still be clearly seen through the cracks in the dilapidated wooden houses, and the people inside were staring nervously overhead, as if they were looking for a leak in the roof.
And those residents, whether they are adults or children, can be described as skinny, and the house is surrounded by four walls, and some people Liu He can even see the figures on the street directly from the gaps in the wooden walls on both sides.
Liu He didn't expect that there would be such a dilapidated place in this world, but what made him feel heavy was not only the dilapidated residence, but the lifeless look on everyone's face.
Liu He kept looking to both sides, and suddenly someone crashed into his arms.
He looked down and saw that it was a child, only eight or nine years old, and it could be seen from the tattered clothes on the child's body that eighty percent also lived near this alley.
"This son, I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry to go home, so I hit you carelessly."
The child couldn't stop apologizing politely, but he had a bright smile on his face.
This kind of smile is really rare in this lifeless alley, Liu He's mood is much lighter, and he also smiled at the child.
When the child saw that the brightly dressed boy in front of him didn't mean to embarrass himself, he relieved himself, bowed to Liu He again, and then jumped away.
Liu He turned around to look at the child's back, and suddenly felt that he was too pessimistic just now, it seems that this place is still full of hope.
But at this moment, Wei Xiao beside him suddenly rushed over and grabbed the child's slender arm.
The child was in pain, with a painful expression on his face, but he seemed to endure it and didn't say anything.
Wei Xiao's move was too sudden, Liu He reacted at this time, and hurriedly strode forward, wanting to push Wei Xiao away, but under this push, Wei Xiao didn't move at all.
"What are you doing here? He's still a kid! ā
The expressionless Wei Xiao didn't pay attention to Liu He's reprimand, and didn't even look back to explain. He stared at the kid with a cold look in his eyes.
Wei Xiao, who usually flatters Liu He in every way, turned a blind eye to him at this time. Seeing that he couldn't stop Wei Xiao, Liu He hurriedly turned his head and called Chen Mo to help.
To Liu He's surprise, Chen Mo was also a cold bystander at this time, and he had no intention of making a move when he heard his words.
And beside Chen Mo, the rest of the people also have the same attitude, even Li Qin, who has always been honest.
Liu He was worried about the child's safety, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but when he saw the expression on the child's face clearly, it was like being struck by lightning.
The expression on that immature face was distorted and hideous, and the eyes that looked at Wei Xiao were full of ferocity and fierceness that did not match his age.
The child's abnormal behavior is no longer a simple sentence that can be explained, and the next scene that happened shocked Liu He beyond measure.
The child struggled to take out a knife from his arms, and stabbed Wei Xiao in the chest without saying a word, even a person like Liu He who did not understand martial arts could clearly realize that this knife was going to the vital point, and it was clear that he wanted human life.
But the person who stabbed this knife was only an eight or nine-year-old child, and for the first time, Liu He felt a feeling beyond what he had previously known, and this feeling was so real.
Wei Xiao raised his hand and mercilessly stabbed the knife in the child's hand into the air, and the child's wrist holding the knife suddenly became red and swollen.
"Take it out."
In the face of Wei Xiao's blunt order, the child obviously didn't want to give in at first, but when the force on Wei Xiao's hand increased a little more, as if he was going to break his arm alive, the child finally took out a money bag unwillingly and put it in Wei Xiao's hand.
Wei Xiao threw the money bag at Liu He, and the usual flattering smile appeared on his face again.
"Boss, your purse must be put away this time."
Liu He subconsciously caught the money bag, but did not make a sound.
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at the child, said the word "roll" viciously, and raised his hand to push the child a few steps away.
The child also glared at Wei Xiao fiercely, and then dragged his aching arm and ran away.
When the child disappeared from view, Wei Xiao turned around.
"Boss, we know that you are a good person, but when you go out, if your heart is too good, I am afraid you will not be able to go far."
Liu He, who bowed his head and was silent, stood there stunned, with no trace of the past on his face.
He wanted to forgive that child, just like he did when he forgave Xiao Yu'er, he wanted to tell others that this child might really be in trouble, so he would come out to do this kind of stealing.
But the child's eyes and actions told Liu He that this was not the first time he had made a mistake, and even this mistake seemed to be justified, because he did it just to survive.
Liu He knew very well in his heart that he would never be able to save this child with just a few beautiful words this time, people who grew up in this environment would not listen to anyone's preaching, they only believed in one thing, that is, the way of the world.
It is not them who are at fault, but the way of the world.
Liu He suddenly raised his head, no longer glanced at the dilapidated houses on both sides, and strode forward.
Seeing this, Wei Xiao and the others looked at each other and smiled.
They could clearly see the man's eyes as he strode forward, clear and determined.
The man didn't rebuke them for their indifference or even say a word, as usual, but they could feel the shock that this man brought to them more than ever.
Just before the kung fu of a stick of incense, they all thought that the man would be like themselves, and they were powerless in the face of this unchangeable wrong world, so they could only accept it silently.
But they were wrong, and the man's resolute eyes were the best proof of that.
At this time, looking at the man's back, an idea quietly arose in their hearts.
Perhaps, that man can really change the way of the world.
