Chapter 30: South Grove Street
Gu Lin watched the unkempt and dirty little boy sitting opposite him, eating nearly three times faster than himself, and swept away three bowls of Yangchun noodles and a plate of mutton stir-fried vegetables.
He looked at the little boy quietly, and the little boy also looked at Gu Lin from time to time, and when he saw Gu Lin looking at him, he immediately blushed and looked embarrassed, but the speed of eating did not decrease at all.
If the rich people in this world are rich and the poor are poor and they can't afford to eat, then this world is really not a happy world. Although Gu Lin was smiling on his face, his heart was not painful.
"Big brother, I'm done eating. The little boy wiped his mouth with his dirty hands and said.
"When you're full, don't you order it again. Gulin asked.
"Thank you, big brother. The little boy waved his hand.
So, Gulin settled the bill, took the little boy's hand, and walked out of the restaurant.
"Where is the old temple on Nanlin Street, and the eldest brother wants to go and see it?" asked Gu Lin to the little boy.
After a slight hesitation, the little boy took Gu Lin and walked towards the old temple on Nanlin Street, which was the little boy's residence.
"Big brother, Iā" The little boy suddenly stopped, and stopped talking.
"What's the matter, Ah Feng, is there something wrong?" asked Gu Lin with a surprised expression.
"Well, it's nothing, big brother. The little boy hurriedly waved his hand.
Gu Lin and the little boy walked a long way, probably to a relatively remote place, where the houses are relatively dilapidated, and there is no longer the prosperity in the central area.
It seems that if you want to know whether a city is rich or not, and whether it is prosperous or not, you may go to the poorest place and see it at a glance. Gulin looked at the dilapidated houses and bumpy roads here with emotion.
"Ahh
Gu Lin immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and a woman in a brocade dress was scolding at the little boy. The little boy couldn't bear the poison at this time, crying sadly, lonely and helpless.
"Eh, I'm careless, I don't know what's going on?" Gu Lin stepped forward, grabbed the little boy's hand, and signaled Ah Feng not to cry, and then Gu Lin looked at the brocade-clothed woman opposite.
Under a gorgeous cheongsam, a thin face, as if malnutrition, or some disease itself, is not very old, eighteen or nineteen years old, looks innocent, but at this time it is pungent and abnormal.
"You wild child, can you afford to blind your dog's eyes and stain the old lady's new clothes? I'll kill you!"
"Stop!" Gu Lin grabbed her wrist, "Why are you so spicy that you have a problem with a child." ā
The woman looked at Gulin, as if she had just seen him.
"Hmph, what are you doing with the old lady's business, how can you just forget about it if you damage the old lady's precious clothes? Besides, what does it have to do with you, you better not be nosy!" The woman's eyes widened, and she scolded Gu Lin.
"You!" Gu Lin didn't expect this woman to be so difficult. looked at the little boy who was crying in fright next to him, and shook off the hand of the woman in brocade, took out two gold coins from his arms, and threw them under the woman's feet.
"Hmph, won't it stain your clothes, I'll pay you for it!" Gu Lin said angrily.
"Ah Feng, don't cry, let's go!" Gu Lin took the hand of Ah Feng, who was crying, and was about to leave. It's just that the woman obviously didn't want to let them go so easily.
"My God, are you sending Hanako? Do you know how much my clothes cost? At least, they are worth a hundred gold coins, and you only have two gold coins, what is the use, not enough money for washing clothes!" the woman called, but obviously there were not many people in this place, and there were only a few onlookers.
Gu Lin saw that the woman was still not satisfied, and his face turned cold.
"Hmph! blackmail has been brought to me, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, I don't know if you will be more rampant in the future. Gu Lin thought to himself, staring coldly at the woman with a pair of eyes.
"You, what are you staring at, scaring the old lady, the old lady is not scared, if you don't have ten gold coins today, you don't want to leave. The woman jumped to her feet and shouted.
At this time, Gu Lin was also angry, and said coldly: "Hmph, I see who can stop me if I want to leave." ā
With that, Gu Lin pulled Ah Feng to leave.
"Don't go, I'll lose ten gold coins and leave!" The woman came up and grabbed Gu Lin's arm and didn't let him go.
"Hmph!" Gu Lin flicked his arm back, and the woman in brocade fell three or four meters out and fell to the ground.
Gu Lin didn't use any vitality to deal with an ordinary person, despite the spicy, Gu Lin still wouldn't be heavy-handed, for this, just give her a lesson, Gu Lin thought so.
It's just that at this moment, Gu Lin still underestimated his strength, or underestimated the woman's weakness, the woman snorted, her face turned pale instantly, and she was obviously in pain.
However, Ah Feng next to Gu Lin cried loudly, and Gu Lin thought that he should have scared him by being so violent in front of a child.
"Don't cry, Ah Feng, let's go. Gu Lin pulled Ah Feng to leave, but the woman in brocade struggled to get up again, hugged Gu Lin's legs, and shouted: "Don't go, don't go, don't miss one of the ten gold coins!"
Gu Lin looked helpless, he really regarded himself as a fat sheep, and was about to shoot again, he didn't care if you were a woman or not, he only knew that this woman was too cruel.
It's just that at this time, Ah Feng took out the three gold coins that Gu Lin gave him from his pocket, and said to the woman: "These three gold coins, for you, you, you go!" The little boy Ah Feng was still crying and stretched out his dirty hand.
The woman was stunned, and for some reason the exterminator did not accept the three gold coins.
"Alas! Forget it!" Gu Lin sighed, took out ten gold coins from his pocket, threw them into the arms of the brocade-clothed woman, and then took Ah Feng's hand and walked into the distance.
But the woman did not shout, but froze there, as if she had received the money she deserved, so that she would not be called, or for something else, in short, the matter seemed to be over.
"Big brother, you're so nice, me, if I do something wrong, will you dislike me anymore. Ah Feng said timidly, what is the embalming afraid of.
Gu Lin had been immersed in what had just happened, and he was dazzled to hear Ah Feng say that he would not blame him for what he had done.
Gu Lin turned his head, looked at Ah Feng with a smile and said, "Big brother won't blame you, you are a kind and good boy, and you will definitely be a man who stands up to the sky in the future." ā
Everything about the little boy, Gu Lin saw in his eyes, perhaps, the time when people can really be pure and flawless, is when he is as big as him, a pure heart, not impregnated by the world.
