Neither of the parties responded, and we didn't like to talk to each other, so I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, and then poured a glass of water for the little beggar to continue.

At that time, the little beggar was only eight or nine years old, and there was no concept of "running away" in his mind, and it had become commonplace to be beaten every day, so he passed a few years in a muddle, and one night his adoptive father drank too much wine, and on the way home he fell into the river and drowned, according to the regulations he should be sent back to the orphanage, but at that time he was afraid of meeting such a family again, so he fled before the people from the orphanage came.

At first, the little beggar didn't know what a "beggar" was, and after escaping from his adoptive father's house, he felt that although he was missing three fingers, he could always support himself with arms and legs, but he forgot that he was still a child, and he didn't know how many shops he went to for three days, and every time he mentioned applying for a job, he was kicked out.

Until the third day, the little beggar met a kind couple, although the other party did not hire him, but let him eat a full meal, he did not know why the other party was good to him, but in his ignorant mind there was already a vague idea: as long as others feel that I am pitiful, I can have food.

In this way, the little beggar became a beggar in a daze, wandering around the nearby streets every day, looking for a shop to go in and beg for food when he was hungry, sometimes he was lucky enough to eat, but most of the time it was just a bottom.

Because he doesn't need money as long as he eats, the fake beggars around him don't bother to pay attention to him, although there is no way out, but he survives after all, as for the little beggar picking up his younger brothers and sisters, it was actually what happened a few months ago.

That day, the little beggar was walking on the street when he was full, and suddenly saw a few fake beggars beating two children in the small alley, and there were people coming and going on the street but no one cared, basically they were afraid of causing trouble, that is, the little beggar was barefoot and was not afraid to wear shoes, so he picked up a brick and walked over, and without saying a word, he opened the lead fake beggar.

The other fake beggars in the same company naturally did not give up, but as soon as they saw the little beggar's right hand, which was only missing three fingers, because this was a ruthless character that could not be provoked, they jumped to their feet and scolded for a few words and left with the leading fake beggar, and the remaining two children naturally fell into his hands.

Later, the little beggar asked and found out that the pair of little boys and girls were in the same group as those fake beggars, and their daily work was to walk the streets and alleys and pretend to cheat money, and in recent days they wanted less and less money, and the leading fake beggar wanted to scare other children, so the previous scene happened.

Don't look at the young beggar, who has been on the street for so many years, his brain is not much slower than that of an adult, and after a little thought, he knew that the fake beggar would not let them go, so he took the two children he picked up to change the territory, and several streets near this hospital are all from another group of fake beggars, and it is not so simple for the other party to come over to find trouble.

I couldn't help but be a little impressed by the little beggar, I saw him look timid before, and thought he was a silly child with an elm head, but seeing that he did things in a measured manner, brave and strategic, and with a little chivalrous personality in his character, it suddenly made me feel a little ashamed of myself, anyway, I would never be able to do this at his age.

When the little beggar finished speaking, he drank silently from his cup, and when he had finished drinking, I asked again, "I have heard all your stories, so you can tell me what is the purpose of your coming to me?" ”

The little beggar nodded, then took out a long stacked newspaper from his back waist and put it on the bedside table to make a "dang" sound, Hao Jian and I glanced at each other, and their faces became strange, and when they opened the newspaper, they saw that there was indeed a slender sharp knife wrapped in it, exactly the same as the one used by the killers before.

I picked up the knife and looked at it for a while, then looked at the little beggar with a strange expression: "Are you here to kill me?" ”

"Well, they said that if you kill you, my younger brothers and sisters and I will live a good life, and we will not starve and freeze in the future." The little beggar replied honestly, and I couldn't believe he was telling the truth. 27KK

I was stunned for three minutes before I came back to my senses, put the knife aside casually, and asked with a smile, "Then why don't you do it?" ”

"I don't want to do it," the little beggar still had an honest expression: "They said you were a bad person, so I agreed to them, but you bought me food, and bought so much, I don't think you want a bad person." ”

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows, and suddenly wanted to tease him, grinning and pretending to be a cruel expression, and smirked, "How are you so sure?" Bad guys don't write the word 'bad guy' on their faces! ”

"I don't know, but I'm sure," the little beggar said, glancing at the food in his arms, "just let me send these things back to my brother and sister, and I'll admit you even if you're a bad person." ”

"What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment, a little ununderstood.

The little beggar pointed to the knife on the bedside table, and his childish face was full of determination: "I want to kill you first, so it is natural that you want to kill me to vent your anger, but I want to send these things back to my younger brothers and sisters, they really haven't eaten such delicious things for a long time, and when I finish sending them, it's all up to you to kill or chop them!" ”

"Good!" I tapped the edge of the bed, "How long does it take you to deliver something?" ”

The little beggar seemed to be frightened by my sudden movements, and was stunned for a moment before whispering back: "Back and forth...... About twenty minutes. ”

I turned my head to look at Hao Jian: "Take him to buy some more food, it's not enough for three children to eat this!" ”

Hao Jian looked puzzled: "Sanshui, are you sick?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry," I rolled my eyes and ignored him, turned to the little beggar and continued, "You don't have to hurry, I'll give you an hour, it's nine o'clock in the morning, come back here before ten o'clock, and we'll talk about what you want to kill me." ”

"I'll be back!" The little beggar nodded firmly, and I didn't see any fear in his eyes, which couldn't help but make me feel a little more fond of him.

Although Hao Jian was reluctant to be the boss, he still took the little beggar to buy breakfast at my request, and returned to the ward after doing what I said, and as soon as he entered the door, he frowned and shouted: "Sanshui, what do you think?" Even if you let that kid go, I can understand it, but I really can't see through you now! ”

Seeing Hao Jian's uncertain expression, I slowly raised my hand and stroked my non-existent beard, pretending to be profound and faintly replied: "As the saying goes, 'the secret of heaven cannot be leaked', when the time comes, you can understand the deep meaning!" ”

"I don't want to say pull it! What a heavenly machine! Hao Jian pursed his lips and didn't inquire again, we chatted without a word for more than half an hour, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the little beggar walked in with two children, a man and a woman, seven or eight years old.
