Chapter Seventy-One: Evil in the World, Weak Human Affection
Since the three of Qiuhua experienced the last canteen incident, they have actually become a small group of three. It's just that although this small group does not have any major conflicts on the surface, it is definitely not harmonious, and it lives like a super contradiction. Tian Jingru knew that Qiuhua had promised Huang Jingqiu, and with that strange voice, she also knew that Qiuhua was helpless, but she couldn't help it in her heart. Huang Jingqiu's attitude is needless to say, of course she will not back down easily.
Although the economic development speed of Guangmo City is far less than that of other seaside cities, it is not inferior to any fashionable metropolis in the prosperous area of the city center. Even when the news broke a few days ago that two felons had escaped from prison, the city was not affected in the slightest. When the lights are first on, the noisy atmosphere has already spread, and the pedestrians on the street have not been less than since the daytime, as if they are sleepless, and sometimes Qiuhua is very suspicious that these people are not invited, "shoppers" in three shifts. The lights of various signboards are also lit up, and the lights are the best partner for the night, and the intoxicating night is naturally also the umbrella of dirt.
On the overpass, a group of people are playing poker, everyone seems to be enchanted on their faces, the money on the ground is stacked messily, and occasionally a passer-by gets into it to take a look, but it is found that the dealer is disgraced.
After watching a few rounds, I found that the people around me seemed to have made a lot of money, so the people who came to see were also playful, and the dealer muttered: "It's really unlucky!" The newcomer to the game looked at the dealer as if he were watching a play, but what he didn't know was that the people involved in the gambling looked at him like a play.
In the park, the women dressed themselves in fancy clothes, and many of them were young and beautiful, and it stands to reason that girls of this age are the most beautiful and do not need to paint anything at all. But they don't seem to be able to grasp what true beauty is, so they secretly compete to see who wears heavy makeup and who says what they say. They are not ashamed of it, it is the original sin that human beings have had since birth, but they have taken advantage of it.
Qiuhua looked at the two girls beside her, they were like white lotuses, so pure, so cute. He couldn't imagine, and he didn't dare to imagine, what would happen to this big dye vat that they entered society in the future? Will it also become these street girls with heavy makeup? The only thing he can do is to do his best to protect them when he is around them.
"Catch the thief!" Suddenly, Qiuhua heard a shout behind her. Immediately afterwards, a figure passed through the three of them at an extremely fast speed, and the speed was so fast that Jingqiu stumbled, and Qiuhua hurriedly supported her. Everyone was still stunned, and there was a cry of pain in front of them, and when they looked at it, it turned out that the thief had just bumped into a pregnant woman, and Qiuhua hurriedly stepped forward.
The pregnant woman was dying of pain, and immediately attracted a lot of people. Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Ah! It's broken, her amniotic water is broken, and she has to deliver the baby right away. Qiu Hua shouted into the crowd, "Who will deliver the baby?" Which of you will deliver a baby? But the words were thrown into the sea, and there was no response.
Tian Jingru looked anxious, but she didn't know what to do. Huang Jingqiu was so anxious that tears flowed out. The pregnant woman's voice was still miserable, but the crowd of onlookers looked at each other, but no one stepped forward, Qiuhua looked at everything in front of her, and her heart was a little gloomy. The pregnant woman fell right in front of one of the shops, and at this moment, the shopkeeper said in disgust: "You quickly carry her away, go somewhere else, don't be with me, this will affect my business too much."
Huang Jingqiu begged: "Uncle, save Auntie, Auntie is going to give birth to a baby, you are good, you are a good person." The middle-aged man still said impatiently: "No, no, when the time comes, it will make a lot of blood, and it will affect the city's appearance." You can do well, get her away. The middle-aged man was still chattering, like a woman bargaining in a vegetable market.
Qiu Hua couldn't control it anymore, and he shouted loudly to the middle-aged man: "Hey! Enough, right? The middle-aged man didn't expect this student-like person to suddenly get into trouble. For a moment, his throat was dumb.
Qiuhua said indignantly: "What's wrong with our society? Maybe we're sorry that we've affected your business to a greater or lesser extent. But isn't it worth it that two lives will be saved because of this? Ask yourself, how would you feel if it was your wife lying on the floor today? The reason why our society has become so sick is because of selfish people like you. ”
From "the family couldn't afford to pay for the corpse, and the drowned child soaked in water for three days", to "the old man fell and no one helped him up, and finally died on the road". Along the way, one news after another has impacted people's three views. We have to ask, what is causing the phenomenon of moral slippage?
The onlookers seemed to be touched, and accused the shopkeeper of his unscrupulous behavior, and the shopkeeper's face turned blue and purple for a while, and he did not dare to provoke the anger of the people, so he hurriedly hid in the shop.
At this time, Qiuhua shouted again: "Among you, who will deliver the baby?" Finally, after hesitating for a while, a woman said, "I... I used to deliver babies in the countryside. The rest of the crowd of onlookers were also unambiguous, and many of them consciously stood in a large circle, with their backs to the pregnant woman, forming a human wall. Someone kept joining, someone handed tissues, some people handed tools, there were kind-hearted merchants nearby who brought hot water and towels, accompanied by the shouts of pregnant women, everyone's hearts also hung high again and again, the whole audience almost held their breath, not daring to take a breath, Tian Jingru and Huang Jingqiu prayed to the sky.
Finally, there were a few cries from inside the human wall, and then, from a few sounds to continuous, this is the best proof that the little guy has just come to the world, and everyone present is relieved, and 120 has also arrived at this time. They worked together to send the newborn and the previous pregnant woman to the ambulance, Qiu Hua was a little tired, leaning on a chair on the side of the street, and someone kept coming to pat Qiu Hua on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, good job."
Soon, a gust of wind blew, and the crowd dispersed. Not far away, Tian Jingru and Huang Jingqiu hugged each other and cried, for some reason. The street was back to its former bustle, and the shopkeeper was busy cleaning up the filth at the door, muttering, "Phew! What bad luck! ”
The neon lights on the street glow intoxicatingly, and what has just happened seems to be a dust blown by accident, only to captivate the eyes of a few.
This city is still prosperous.
