Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Rare Rest and Half a Day of Leisure (Part II)
Then, when Yang Lin was about to ask something, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve and looking down. I saw Zhao Min looking at him with tears in his eyes, his voice was full of choked words, and he begged: "Big brother, look, there is a child who has fainted, you go and help them." The little girl gestured to the little beggar in the distance.
Only then did Yang Lin notice that one of the little beggars gathered around the steamed bun stall fainted and seemed to be hungry.
For a while, seeing this situation, without saying a word, without the slightest hesitation, Yang Lin quickly walked towards the group of orphans, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to his chest, took out two taels of silver, came to the side of the steamed bun stall, threw it over, and urged: "Your steamed buns, I have them all, quickly take them and distribute them to these children, and by the way, prepare some water for them, don't let them choke." ”
"Okay, okay, uncle, let's go for the little one~!" The steamed bun seller who was originally a cold bystander immediately smiled as soon as he received the silver, and responded again and again.
The steamed bread seller put the steamed bread into the bowl, and shouted loudly without replying: "Old woman, come out to help, today's big business, the steamed bread is almost sold out, bring more bowls over, and bring more water by the way!" ”
Then, Yang Lin took a bowl and a kettle from the steamed bun stall, quickly came to the fainting orphan, and put him in his arms, not caring at all about the little beggar's unkempt and dirty body.
Yang Lin poured a bowl of water, tested the temperature, and then helped the orphan up and slowly fed water to his mouth, his movements were gentle and gentle, without any pretentiousness.
"cough~cough~"
The orphan slowly woke up, opened his blurred eyes, very weak, panting weakly, even it was difficult to sit up, his whole body did not have any strength, his lips were chapped and white, with a hint of purple, and his face was extremely pale.
At this moment, the passers-by had stopped, stopped and looked, watching this scene, no discussion, no cheers, no applause, just quietly watching, full of ruthlessness, full of indifference, and no one came up to help.
Such indifference makes some people feel terrible, makes people feel terrifying, and their hearts are extremely cold.
Yang Lin leaned the orphan on his body, took a steamed bun, tore it into a little bit, and fed it into the orphan's mouth, his movements were gentle and slow, and he didn't notice the performance of the pedestrians around him. However, even if he sees it, Yang Lin doesn't care, because what he pursues is to have a clear conscience and be worthy of his conscience.
Gradually, the orphan regained some strength and was able to feed himself.
After the orphan had eaten, Yang Lin leaned over to his ear and whispered something. Then, under the orphan's surprised gaze, Yang Lin pulled Zhao Min, who was distributing steamed buns, back to the clay figure stall.
"Uncle, are our clay figurines ready?"
The stall owner was a little stunned, and replied sluggishly: "Okay~ Okay, give it." ”
Yang Lin took the clay figure, looked at it carefully, and looked at it, it really looked like Zhao Min, it was simply a super mini version of Zhao Min. At this moment, Yang Lin seemed to have forgotten the good deed just now, as if he had never done it before.
The pedestrians around him were still watching, as if they were looking at a strange person, looking at Yang Lin, feeling that this young man had changed too quickly, like a bystander.
Being watched like this, Yang Lin can feel nothing, but Yang Xiao and Zhao Min around him can't be regarded as nothing. Facing such onlookers, full of weirdness, so many people, Zhao Min subconsciously pulled Yang Lin.
"Big brother, let's go, let's go back to the inn first~!"
Yang Lin came back to his senses suddenly, paid the money for the clay man, and replied again and again: "Okay, let's go, let's go~"
As soon as Yang Lin and the three of them raised their feet and took half a step, they heard a voice and stopped themselves.
"Wait a minute, lad, here you are!"
Yang Lin looked at the two clay figures that looked very much like himself and Yang Xiao, a little puzzled, a little puzzled, "Uncle, what does this mean~?" We didn't."
"This is a gift for you, young man, and I admire a young man like you. What are these two clay figurines compared to your good deeds? ”
"Moreover, I also sympathize with and pity those orphans and want to help them. But my ability is limited, and I can't do anything, so I can only make two little clay figurines for you, and I can do my part for those orphans~! Hey, young people like you are rare in the world these days. ”
Yang Lin smiled knowingly, took the two little clay figurines, handed one to Yang Xiao, and after thanking him, he took Yang Xiao and Zhao Min to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and go towards the rented inn, leaving the indifferent onlookers there.
Yang Lin didn't pay the two clay figures, because he understood that if he insisted on giving money to that person, it would be an insult to him, disrespect to him, and not to believe what he said.
I don't know how long later, the group of little beggars finished eating the steamed buns, and the orphan who had fainted before lay in the ears of the other orphans one by one, muttering something quietly. This scene did not attract anyone's attention.
Subsequently, this group of orphans went west in groups of three or five, or four or six groups, and the direction of the west gate of Huizhou Mansion did not attract anyone's attention.
On the way back to the inn, Yang Xiao suddenly approached Yang Lin and asked in a low voice: "Young master, what did you just say to that little beggar, it actually made him so happy, he even forgot to eat the steamed bun in his hand for a while!" ”
Yang Lin smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Don't say, don't say~", and then, pulling the puzzled Zhao Min, no longer paying attention to Yang Xiao, who kept asking.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao seemed to think of something, his face was full of worry, he caught up with Yang Lin again, and asked quickly: "Young master, listen to that stall owner, the closer you get to Guangzhou, the more dangerous it is, the more bandits there are, what should we do?" After all, there aren't many of us in our group? ”
Hearing the worried words of the scholar Yang Xiao, Yang Lin subconsciously slowed down, and couldn't help but think about it, thinking about how to deal with it, the danger of going all the way south.
After a long time, Yang Lin was still worried, and he didn't have any good plan, just dropped a sentence and took Zhao Min away.
"Yang Xiao, you don't care about this, I have my own arrangements, don't worry."
When the sun was about to set, when Yang Lin was about to walk out of the inn, Xiao Er, who was not far away, stopped Yang Lin and told him kindly, completely out of kindness: "This guest officer, where are you going?" It's getting dark, so don't go out. ”
Yang Lin stopped, looked at the oncoming child, and asked puzzledly, "Oh, little second brother, why do you say that?" Could it be that Huizhou Mansion also has a curfew and does not allow people to walk at night? ”
"This guest officer, that's not it, but our Huizhou is relatively chaotic, the night is not very peaceful, and people often encounter gangsters at night and are robbed of things. If you are unlucky, you may lose your life when you encounter a heinous gangster. ”
"So, if you don't have anything important, don't go out and leave the inn."
Yang Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was also a curfew here. Knowing that Xiao'er was out of kindness, Yang Lin smiled gratefully and replied, "Thank you~ Little second brother, I'll be back in a while." Before dark, you'll be able to get back to the inn. ”
"Ah~ guest officer, in this way, then you go and come back quickly, I won't delay your time." With that, Xiao Er left, continued to wipe the wine table, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and do his own thing.
Yang Lin sighed secretly, there are still good people in the world, and not all inns are black shops. Then, walk away, briskly in the direction of the sun.
