Chapter 43: Sweat and Tears

"You ......"

On this day, as soon as Jiang Jinchen got up from the bed, he saw the little girl who was dirty all over.

"Why are you so dirty?"

Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's white skirt, which was full of traces of dirt.

"Hehe, I accidentally fell on the road."

Tao Tao rubbed her hair awkwardly, and then looked at Jiang Jinchen with a smile.

"Come on, come on, eat buns."

Jiang Jinchen seemed to feel that Tao Tao's eyes were a little evasive when he looked at him, but before he could think about it, he was tightly grasped by Tao Tao's palm.

Tao Tao pulled Jiang Jinchen to sit down, and then the two of them leaned against the wall of the alley together, nibbling on steaming buns.

Jiang Jinchen looked at the soil on Tao Tao's skirt while eating steamed buns.

He thought it was strange.

Because in his impression, there is no such kind of dirt land in this city.

Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao Tao, who was telling a story to himself with a suspicious gaze.

He wanted to go out and verify it himself.

Jiang Jinchen has been in this small alley with no end in sight for five whole days.

During this period, he never dared to go out, and he was worried every day that someone would come and arrest him.

However, every time, there was only a girl in a white dress who walked in.

What the hell is this place?

Jiang Jinchen couldn't believe that those professional killers couldn't even find a small alley in the city.

Although he was very confused, he did not dare to act rashly.

When his father had an accident, his mother ran out with Jiang Jinchen and his younger brother.

At that time, my father's career was just getting started, and the night before he had planned to invite his best friend, Mr. Wilson, to his house.

But the next day, my father mysteriously disappeared.

On the day of his father's mysterious disappearance, his father's company was exposed by some people with ulterior motives, saying that he had done some illegal business.

The other party seems to be very well prepared and has come up with a lot of evidence.

Eventually, his father was labeled a wanted criminal, but those men had no intention of sparing him and his mother, as well as his younger brother.

They sent a lot of people to hunt them down.

My mother had no choice but to whisper and pray to a former friend of my father's to hide in that friend's house.

But my father's friend didn't welcome them very much, probably because of the sake of face, so he reluctantly took them in.

Jiang Jinchen thought that they might be afraid of being implicated.

At that time, his father's right-hand man was looking for his missing father everywhere, while collecting intelligence and evidence to turn the tables for his father.

However, at this moment, Jiang Jinchen's younger brother suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Jinchen's mother was crazy and wanted to go out to look for it, but was stopped by Jiang Jinchen.

It's definitely a dead end for her to go out now.

The same people who assassinated my father sent a lot of killers to hunt them down.

Jiang Jinchen was very anxious at this time, he had a bad premonition, he felt that his younger brother was very likely to be kidnapped by these people.

Jiang Jinchen looked at his mother, who was getting weaker and weaker due to the blow, and made a decision.

He sneaked out of his father's friend's house.

He wanted to go and find his brother by himself.

Jiang Jinchen contacted his father's subordinates before leaving, and learned that his younger brother was most likely in the hands of one of his father's former subordinates.

He decided to go and get his brother back himself.

However, as soon as he went out, he was discovered by a killer hiding in the shadows.

The killer didn't seem to kill Jiang Jinchen because he was just a child, so Jiang Jinchen finally escaped from them and hid in all corners of the city.

It was one day after that that he met Tao Tao.

He had just escaped from the killer that day, hiding in a damp corner and shaking with his arms in his arms.

But in the end, he couldn't hold on and fell.

When Tao Tao first met Jiang Jinchen, he was being chased by bad guys.

In fact, Tao Tao didn't have any concept of killers at that time, she just thought that a bunch of bad men were bullying a poor child who was defenseless.

Tao Tao was very angry, she remembered her mother's teaching to herself, her mother said that whenever we see someone in need, we must do our best to help them.

So Tao Tao looked at the boy who was blocked in the corner by the bad guys, and rushed over at once.

However, as soon as she reached the mouth of the alley, she saw the boy suddenly make a deft leap and run over the wall.

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Jiang Jinchen's stumbling back and shouted that the police are coming!

I saw that those bad guys panicked all of a sudden, and then disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Tao Tao didn't care about those people.

She was more worried about the boy now.

Tao Tao ran out after the boy without thinking about it.

She ran for a long, long time, but the boy suddenly disappeared.

Tao Tao had to look carefully corner by corner.

Finally, in a damp and dark corner, she saw the boy who was huddled on the ground with his body in his arms, shivering.

Tao Tao ran over at once.

However, when she ran to the boy, she suddenly noticed that the boy had fainted.

What to do?

Tao Tao looked at the terrible environment around him, and then recalled the pursuit of him by those bad guys.

She suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.

So she ran back to the house as quickly as she could, then took out the bedding that was pressed under the suitcase, and ran back without looking back.

Tao Tao panted and returned to the dark place, then carefully picked up the boy and walked out step by step.

She went from day to night.

Tao Tao had no choice but to carry Jiang Jinchen to a very safe place in order to prevent the boy from being caught by the bad guys again.

It was a wilderness far, far away from the city.

It's so far away that you have to walk for hours to get there.

But Tao Tao didn't think much about it at this time, she just felt that since that place was safe, then she had to carry the boy there.

So she tried to walk step by step, and the sweat of the bean dripping fell into the yellow sand, smashing the ground into big holes one by one.

But she didn't dare to give up, and it was getting dark, and he had to carry the boy there before it got dark.

Tao Tao has been working hard to persevere, although her physical strength is about to run out, she still persevered.

In this way, Tao Tao, with her perseverance, carried the boy into an alley surrounded by a row of abandoned and dilapidated houses standing in the middle of the wasteland.

Tao Tao spread the futon on the ground, and then carefully placed Jiang Jinchen on it.

She gently covered him with the quilt, which was still fragrant.

Tao Tao stretched out her hand and touched the boy's forehead, and found that it was not very hot, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the boy's stomach suddenly crumbled in the night.

"You must be hungry, aren't you?"

Tao Tao stroked the boy's messy hair, and then said softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm really going back now, don't worry, I'll come to see you early tomorrow and buy you something to eat."

Tao Tao raised his head to look at the darkening sky, and then took one last look at the sleeping boy, and ran out without looking back.

Tao Tao ran alone in this desolate place, and suddenly felt very scared.

This wasteland looks even more terrifying against the backdrop of night.

Tao Tao ran and suddenly cried.

But she wiped her tears and silently told herself in her heart that you can do it.

Then Tao Tao ran back home trembling with the whirring night wind.

However, Jiang Jinchen didn't know anything about this matter.

He just wondered why Tao Tao came to him every day panting and sweating profusely.

She seems to have run a long way.

However, every time Jiang Jinchen said this question of his own, he would always be diverted from the topic by Tao Tao.

But until today, Jiang Jinchen can no longer hold back his curiosity.

In fact, Jiang Jinchen has another reason, he is worried about his younger brother.

He'd been hiding in this alley for five days, and he didn't want to hide like that anymore.

Jiang Jinchen thought of his father, who was still missing, his mother, who was getting emaciated, and his younger brother, whose life and death were uncertain.

He felt he had to do something this time.

So after Tao Tao left, Jiang Jinchen finally couldn't hold back his curiosity in the evening of this day, and walked out of the alley cautiously.

However, Jiang Jinchen was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He didn't see the lights of the thousands of homes he imagined, he only saw the wilderness in the dark night, as far as the eye could see, and the wind was blowing.

Jiang Jinchen walked out tremblingly, and his feet sank into the sand at once.

He felt the wind blowing on his face and fell to his knees.

She......

Jiang Jinchen's mind suddenly appeared Tao Tao in front of him, sweating.

Her sweat dripped from her soaked hair and hit Jiang Jinchen's heart hard.

The girl, the girl with a big smile on her face, had to run through the endless wilderness every day to bring herself a big bag of steaming buns.

She was able to do this for the sake of strangers.

Jiang Jinchen's tears fell low in the sand, and the moment he fell into the sand, he merged with the sweat that Tao Tao dripped there during the day.

Jiang Jinchen didn't know how to repay her.

That angel-like girl.

Is he worth it?

Jiang Jinchen wondered if he was worth that girl for himself, and he sweated every day.

Jiang Jinchen really felt what kindness is and what true kindness is.

Jiang Jinchen suddenly saw what he had been looking for from Tao Tao's body.

The one his mother had said he would never have in his life.
