The child didn't speak, just looked at her with big white eyes. Baidu search to give the literary network
Even if he didn't answer, Xia Tong had already guessed that he must have been forced by life to steal things as a last resort.
"You don't have any money, do you?" She was patient and squatted down with the child.
Seeing this, the middle-aged male police officer let go of the child's arm and stood aside to watch them.
The boy looked at Xia Tong and nodded slightly, his eyes fell, staring at the leather bag in her hand, his eyes were full of longing.
"Where do you live?" Xia Tong followed his line of sight and glanced at his purse and smiled slightly.
The boy was silent, his eyes were whiter against the background of the colored skin, Xia Tong raised his hand to grab his hand, but the child suddenly turned around and ran.
"Where are you going!?" However, after only running out a few steps, he was caught by the male police officer and pulled back again. "Miss, since he's not honest, let's go to the police station!"
"Don't!" As soon as he heard the word "police station", the boy finally became frightened, screamed, and twisted his body to escape.
"Don't move!" The male police officer was so big that he could be restrained with just one hand, and no matter how much the boy struggled, it would be useless.
"No need to go to the police station!" Xia Tong grabbed the boy's arm and thanked the police officer again with a smile, "Thank you for your help, so let's solve this matter ourselves......"
She looked at the boy with a smile, "If you don't run, answer a few of my questions, we won't go to the police station, okay?" ”
When the child heard that there was no need to go to the police station, he immediately calmed down, and he nodded emphatically.
Seeing this, the police officer did not say anything more, so he bowed his head and warned the boy a few words, and left.
"Come on." Xia Tong pulled the boy, still squatting on the ground, "Tell me, where is your home?" You come out to steal, what about your parents? ”
The boy was silent, looking straight at her with big eyes, just shaking his head vigorously.
"What? You don't have a home? And no parents!? ”
The boy nodded, his face expressionless, and Xia Tong felt distressed.
"And where do you live?" She asked again, her brows furrowed.
The boy took her hand and suddenly pulled her forward with all his might, motioning for her to come with him.
Xia Tong didn't hesitate, got up and followed him along the street for hundreds of meters, and then the two turned into a small alley.
The alley is narrow and damp, although you can feel a chill in the summer, and at the end of the alley is blocked, where a tin shed is erected.
The shed was small, only half a man tall, and the boy let go of her hand and bent down to open a small door in the shed.
Xia Tong squatted down and saw that there was only five or four pings at most in a lacquered shed, and there was nothing else in the small space except for a dirty quilt and a few shabby clothes.
"You just live here? Alone!? With a sour heart, Xia Tong looked around at the surrounding environment, the alley was full of debris, and there was garbage piled up not far away, the smell was stinky, flies, ants, and even rats shuttled among them, making people feel sick.
How is this a place where people live? What's more, the child is still so young!? Didn't any of the volunteers from the Social Welfare Department come to help him!?
"I'm alone." The boy nodded, his thin hand caressing his belly, which was already cooing.
Xia Tong knew that he was hungry, so without thinking, she took out a stack of money from her purse, she stuffed the money into the child's hand, and then thought again, and simply took out all the money and gave it to him. It's cold and it's in the middle
