An incongruous sound broke the lively crowd, pushing the crowd, and Zhou Yiyang looked for the sound. A group of gangster-looking young people, the leader with yellow hair and a cigarette in his mouth, a somewhat shabby windbreaker, deliberately fanned the hem of his clothes when he walked, looking very dragging, and the followers on both sides walked left and right, pushing and shoving the crowd blocking the way. Everyone also fled as if they had seen the plague, and the bargaining and shouting also stopped.

"Who they are. Zhou Yiyang asked with a look of disgust.

"Shhhhh Li Qing pulled Zhou Yiyang to the side of the road, and made a gesture not to speak with a frightened face. Zhou Yiyang, who had been educated by Li Qing for a noon, closed his mouth knowingly and stopped talking.

"Old woman, I haven't paid my protection money for months. A few thugs gathered in front of the stall of an old lady who was nearly seventy years old, and on the small stall were a few simple hand-sewn objects, and behind him was a child of about five or six years old, who was thinly dressed, with yellow hair like weeds, and a dirty face, shrunk timidly behind the old man, and stared at the gang with big eyes in fear.

"Uncles, I, I really don't have any money, my little granddaughter hasn't had a full meal for a long time, you can do it, and a few more days of grace. The old man said with a crying and pleading voice.

"It's a pity, there are a lot of poor people in this market, we all have a few days of grace, and a few of our brothers will drink the northwest wind. One of the ponies shouted loudly.

"I really don't have any money, even if you sell my old bones, you can't afford to give it to you. The old man almost burst into tears.

"Hehe, your old bones are really worthless, but your little granddaughter is different. The leader of the yellow hair looked at the old man with a wicked smile, and his eyes slowly turned to the child behind her, thinking about something. This frightened the old man half to death, and he hurriedly stood up and protected the child tightly under him, and said in horror: "This is unacceptable." This is the only root left of my son. ”

"Come on, bring this child to me!" The attendants behind him rushed up, some pulled the old woman and some went to grab the child, and the cry of the child and the old man resounded throughout the market.

The bustling crowd of the huge market did not come out to stop it, most of them surrounded from afar, watching all this happen indifferently.

Zhou Yiyang didn't want to meddle anymore, but all this in front of him made him unable to defeat his conscience. Li Qing saw Zhou Yiyang's mood change, and the moment he put down his things and rushed out, he grabbed Zhou Yiyang's arm, Zhou Yiyang turned his head to look at Li Qing, Li Qing shook his head at him with a serious face, signaling him not to be impulsive. Seeing that the gang had snatched the child and swaggered into the crowd, the old woman was allowed to kneel on the ground and cry, but no one stepped forward to stop and help.

Is this the end of the world, when did the world fall to such an unbearable level, the numbness of human affection made Zhou Yiyang sad.

After the person walked away, Zhou Yiyang shook off Li Qing's hand fiercely, his angry eyes seemed to contain tears, and he ran to the old man and helped the old man up, the old man looked at Zhou Yiyang with tears and begged and said: "Please, please, save my fruit." Please, please. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Zhou Yiyang helped him up, not knowing how to answer or comfort him.

The vicissitudes of life and a pair of pleading eyes made Zhou Yiyang unable to refuse.

"Don't worry, grandma. Someone has already called the police. I'm sure the police will help you find your fruit. Zhou Yiyang tried to comfort the old woman, but said something that he didn't even believe.

"No, no. The old woman pushed Zhou Yiyang's hand away, and walked in the direction where the gangsters disappeared in a daze, and the appearance of her staggering steps made Zhou Yiyang's heart cramp.

Turning around and lifting the goods on the ground, he walked forward without turning his head, although he didn't recognize the way, although Li Qing kept calling himself behind him. He mourned himself, and lamented this unforgiving world.

"Listen to me!" Li Qing walked a few steps to catch up with Zhou Yiyang, looking anxious, since he met Zhou Yiyang, he had never seen Zhou Yiyang look like this, and said a little anxiously.

"I know you can't see that, but this is the world, the lives of the poor who live on the edge of the city. You helped him today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, this is her life. The more Li Qing spoke, the more excited he became, Zhou Yiyang turned his head and looked expressionless and dazed, what Li Qing said was not unreasonable, but he also had his own principles of being a man and doing things.

"You have already offended the two school bullies, do you still have the energy to take care of these?" Li Qing's tone softened slightly, and then said.

"I'm talking about this, think about it yourself!" Zhou Yiyang glanced at Li Qing and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything, and then slowly followed behind Li Qing, and the two walked like this one after the other, without saying a word.

The market is not far from Li Qing's house, and it is only a few minutes away by foot, and Zhou Yiyang has always followed Li Qing all the way, and Li Qing does not take the initiative to talk to Zhou Yiyang, and the atmosphere is extremely embarrassing.

"Is the Mid-Autumn Festival to buy a few months of cakes to eat. Zhou Yiyang was the first to break the silence and said behind Li Qing.

"What age is it, and I still eat moon cakes. Li Qingtou didn't turn around, and said without any expression.

"No matter what the era, moon cakes are the symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just like eating dumplings at the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival, they are part of the festival. Now that the deadlock has been broken, Zhou Yiyang also opened the conversation box and said slowly.

"There are more things needed for the holidays, not everyone can enjoy it, for the poor, our requirements are very simple, you can dress warmly when you are full of energy, and there are no bullies to bully. As he spoke, he seemed to remember the scene just now, and there was a hint of sadness in his words.

"There were so many people in the market just now, why didn't anyone stop them? Talking about this, Zhou Yiyang's mood became excited again, and his voice raised a few decibels.

Li Qing stopped, turned to look at Zhou Yiyang and said: "People who live in the corners of the world can only survive in dark corners, big fish eat small fish, small fish and shrimp, shrimp eat mud and sand, we people are the mud and sand of this world." Li Qing turned his head to the side sadly, tears already flowing down his cheeks. Li Qing raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, and then said:

"Do you expect other mud and sand to save your dusty existence?"

Zhou Yiyang couldn't see a beautiful girl like Li Qing shed tears, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, let alone how to comfort him.

"I miss my time. The door is not closed, and the singing and dancing are leveling. ”

Zhou Yiyang said with emotion.

"I really want to see what life is like. Li Qing stopped crying anymore and said slowly.

"I'm sure it will, it will. Zhou Yiyang seemed to be making a promise, and said as if he was voting!
