Chapter 36: The Beggar
After watching TV for a while, Xie Cheng still felt bored, otherwise he would go to the store first, he had been away for so long, and he didn't know if it was moldy.
Xie Cheng made up his mind, but he shrugged down his face again, because Meng Meng looked at him expectantly.
"My little ancestor, I must have owed you in my last life." Xie Cheng sighed, hugged the little girl in his arms, and went out.
The girl didn't cry or make trouble, she nestled in Xie Cheng's arms and looked at the world curiously, this was the first time she had left Xie Cheng's door.
Xie Cheng still takes the bus for no other reason, although the bus in the 23rd century is different, but he has never taken it, and he still feels very novel, but he can't wait for the novelty to pass and buy a car.
On the bus, only Xie Cheng was holding the girl alone, and there was an aunt who was very considerate and wanted to give up her seat, but Xie Cheng said no.
"Thank you." Meng Meng said the words she just learned, which was very cute.
The aunt's eyes were full of love, because Meng Meng herself looked like a porcelain doll.
"How old are you?" Auntie asked.
Xie Cheng was stunned and said, "I'm three years old." ”
"You really look so cute, are you helping your relatives take care of you?"
Xie Cheng nodded, but Meng Meng strangled it: "Dad." ”
The aunt was stunned, and when she saw Xie Cheng's face, it became different.
"It's not easy for a young man to be a father when he is a teenager."
Xie Cheng's mind was full of black lines, Meng Meng grabbed Xie Cheng's collar and squinted with a smile.
I finally survived the bus and came to the house of everything.
Speaking of which, he has been opening this store for more than half a month, and he originally thought that he would be able to make great progress, but he didn't expect to only accept two orders, but it was also because of these two orders that his life direction was faintly different.
Xie Cheng stood in front of the Wanshi House with Meng Meng in his arms, his expression stunned.
Because a few meters away from the house of everything, a sloppy beggar was lying there, sleeping.
The beggar, with his hair disheveled and a little diminutive, was curled up under a large tree in front of the house of everything.
Mengmeng grabbed Xie Cheng's collar, a little scared, Xie Cheng shook his head and walked over.
He opened the door of the store, the beggar's position was still a few meters away from the store door, and he seemed to be awakened by Xie Cheng's movements, the beggar raised his head and glanced at Xie Cheng, his face was covered with black ash, and the clothes on his body were tattered, and he couldn't tell the men and women.
Xie Cheng shook his head, everyone has their own way of living, and he walked into the house of everything.
Wanshiwu has not seen the sun for a few days, with a faint musty smell, Xie Cheng cleaned it a little, and Mengmeng ran around by herself, having a lot of fun.
Finally finished cleaning, but Xie Cheng suddenly couldn't see Mengmeng, he looked around, but saw Mengmeng running under the big tree outside, looking at the beggar curiously.
The beggar was a little frightened and shrank back.
Xie Cheng hurriedly ran out: "Don't run blindly." ”
Meng Meng flattened her mouth, grabbed Xie Cheng's collar and wrinkled her cute nose.
When the beggar saw Xie Cheng coming straight towards him, he thought that Xie Cheng was going to beat him, and he was so frightened that he trembled.
Xie Cheng glanced at the beggar deeply, didn't know what to think, and turned to leave.
The beggar was relieved, and just as he was about to close his eyes again, he saw Xie Cheng come over again, with a piece of bread and a bottle of water in his hand.
In the 23rd century, Xie Cheng has not lived this kind of life, but this is not the 23rd century, at that time, people were graded according to poverty, but now it is not, beggars have hands and feet, but they prefer to be vagabonds, which makes Xie Cheng disagree.
But everyone has compassion, even if Xie Cheng hates people who are lazy and lazy, he still sees his original shadow from the beggar.
"I don't know what happened to you, but don't give up on life, I've been through all the days when I was sadder than you." Xie Cheng sighed, and suddenly took out a hundred yuan from his pocket.
"I'll give you this hundred dollars, but I hope you can find a way to live before you spend it all."
It's not a lot of money, but for a beggar if he wants to change, a hundred dollars is enough.
The beggar lowered his head, Xie Cheng couldn't see his expression, he held the hundred pieces firmly in his hand, then picked up the bread and water given by Xie Cheng, and left.
When he left, Xie Cheng noticed that the beggar had long hair and material on his chest, but it turned out to be a woman, but he walked with a limp, and he didn't know if it was an old injury.
Xie Cheng shook his head, turned around and prepared to walk back to the Wanshi House.
But when he turned around, he found that the LED light on the house of everything had been smashed by someone, and there was a deep depression on it.
Xie Cheng's face was ugly, someone had come to smash the field after a few days.
He carried Mengmeng to a convenience store on the side, and the store was a young girl.
The convenience store is open 24 hours, and Xie Cheng wanted to see if he could ask anything.
"Hello and welcome." The girl said sweetly.
Drink, I've been here for so long, but I didn't find such a beautiful girl on the side, Xie Cheng coughed lightly, and now there are more important things to deal with.
"Hello, I want to ask you something, have you seen any suspicious characters in the past few days."
The girl glanced at Xie Cheng suspiciously, and Xie Cheng said: "I am the owner of the Wanshi House next to me, I have gone out these days, and the LED light sign on it has been smashed, so I want to ask if you have seen anyone coming." ”
The girl thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I did hear a knocking sound from the side when I was on the night shift the day before yesterday, but I didn't pay much attention to it, but the beggar at the door seems to have come over in those two days, hey, why can't I see it now." ”
Damn, did the stray girl do it? Xie Chenghuo is big.
Besides, the wandering girl left all the way, but stopped under a big tree not far away, and she clutched the hundred pieces in her hand.
She tore open the bread given by Xie Cheng, swallowed it in her mouth one by one, and didn't speak.
But at this moment, several naughty children ran over and sprayed directly at the homeless girl with water guns in their hands.
"Ugly, stupid, haha!"
The water splashed everywhere, drenching the girl's body, and the girl raised her hand to block it, but the hundred yuan in her hand was directly snatched by a slightly older child.
"Wow! It's a hundred! I've got to eat at night! The children shouted, and several people chased each other and ran away.
"Give me back the money." The girl curled up and began to cry.
Not far away, Xie Cheng watched all this, the original anger also disappeared, some bad memories emerged, and he walked to the girl's side.
"Don't cry." Xie Chengdao.
The girl looked up, her face was dirty, and her face was especially full of tears, she was stunned when she saw Xie Cheng, and quickly wiped away her tears and ran, not even bread and water.
"Stop!" Xie Cheng shouted.
