It didn't take long for Matthew to take Duck to the second floor of the restaurant.

Matthew pointed at Duck and said, "Captain, this kid said he came to you." ”

When Duck saw Donner, he immediately knelt on the ground, holding the money bag in both hands, and did not make a sound.

Donner glanced at it, and the money bag was his. From the actions of the thin boy, it can be seen that the boy has come to return the money bag.

The money in the money bag is not much for Donner, but for the common people, it is a huge amount of money, especially for a child from a slum, few people can resist the temptation to steal it and return it.

But what was the reason that the boy suddenly took the initiative to kneel outside early in the morning to return it?

Conscience findings, or is it something else?

Donner didn't ask much for a moment, but left the table with a gentle smile, came to the boy, took the money bag, then pulled it up, brought it to the long table, and said, "Little brother, you get up first, let's eat first, and we'll talk later?"

The boy lowered his head, his face flushed, quietly looked up at Donner, and immediately lowered his eyes, the dodging eyes, ashamed, moved, and unspeakable.

Donner pinned Duck to his seat and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet!"

Duck sat in his chair, uneasy. Originally, when he came to return the money bag, he made up his mind not to speak, and let it be disposed of. He was ready to be beaten, and even thought that he would be beaten to death.

But at this time, Donner's actions made him at a loss, and after listening to Donner's question, Duck couldn't help but blurt out: "I ...... We generally don't eat breakfast. ”

Forehead!

Only then did Donner remember that the people of this era, except for the aristocracy and the rich, would enjoy breakfast. Ordinary people, in order to save food, skip breakfast, and only eat lunch and dinner.

"That'...... Let's eat first. Donner laughed, pushed a breakfast in front of Duck, and said to Matthew by the way, "Go and order more." ”

Breakfast in the restaurant is relatively simple, a glass of milk, a piece of bread baked to a golden brown, a few sticks of unknown vegetables.

Duck estimated that it was the first time he had eaten such a breakfast, and he was stunned when he looked at the food.

"Come on, eat!" said Donner, "by the way, what's your name?"

"Oh...... My name is Duck. Duck replied with a nervous voice, "That'...... Can I skip this?"

"Why? Don't you want to eat?" asked Donner, curious.

"No...... Yes," Duck stammered, as if afraid that Donner would be angry, "I want to take it back, let me bring it back to my father and sister to eat." ”

Duck lowered his head: "They...... Haven't had breakfast like this and I want to give them it. ”

Hearing this, Donner was stunned, and a certain string in his heart seemed to be touched.

Donner put down the food in his hand and said gently: "You eat first, I'll give you two more later, you see, only bring one back, your father and sister must not have enough to eat, right?"

Dark's nose suddenly counted, and Na Na didn't know how to speak.

"Eat!" Donner smiled with a smile on his face, he was originally a little troubled by the boy who was rescued by himself but stole his money bag, but at this moment, he was all relieved.

In his opinion, people who can always think about their families outside and have good things will not be bad.

What's more, according to his guess, Duck, who came from the slums, did these things, I am afraid that they are more forced by life.

Dark's eyes were hot in vain, and a tear dripped into the milk, and the boy hurriedly took the milk to hide his abnormality.

Seeing Duck gobble up, Donner smiled inexplicably.

"Captain, morning. Jason and Hans arrived, and Donner greeted, "I've ordered you breakfast, sit down and eat together!"

"Huh!" said old Yuri, pulling his beard, and glancing at Dark, "Isn't this the boy from yesterday?

Dark's face turned red again, he didn't say anything, he didn't dare to look up, and he dealt with breakfast vigorously.

Jason also asked Donner with his eyes, and Donner said, "Eat first, I'll talk later." ”

The three of them sat down.

Ten minutes later, the waiter cleaned up the table, and Donner and the others looked at the cramped and restless Dark.

"Tell me!" Downer asked.

Duck hesitated for a moment before he mustered up the courage to say, "I...... I have no food at home, and my sister and father haven't had enough to eat for a few days, so ...... That's why I stole money. ”

Matthew glared and asked, "Isn't there a wheat field at home? How can there be no food?" Besides, I don't think it's the first time you've stolen something. ”

Duck was silent before replying, "The family's wheat field was sold two years ago, when my father was sick. ”

The latter question, Duck did not answer, but did not deny it, this is the default.

"There's no wheat field to find something to do? Why choose to steal. Matthew was still angry.

"I have, but they don't want me, they think I'm too weak and slow to do things. But...... I'm hungry and can't move anything. Duck argued.

Donner waved his hand and motioned for Matthew not to speak, and he asked, "Then why are you back again?"

"My father asked me to come back. Duck said, looking down.

"Listen to you, there's a sister, how old is that?" Donner wasn't asking about stealing, he could understand Duck's situation.

Why Darker stole is already obvious, it is nothing more than forced by life.

If you don't have a wheat field, you can't find a job and no one wants it, and if you don't steal it, you can only starve to death.

If stealing is a sin, what about starving to death?

"Seven years old. Darker replied honestly.

"It's cute!" Donner seemed to want to talk about something lighthearted.

"No!," said Dark, "she's ugly and dirty. ”

"She's sensible, though!" said Dark, with a flash of affection in his eyes.

Seven years old, sensible? so heavy.

When Donner saw it, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, picked up the money bag on the table, and put it in Duck's hand: "Take the money." Go and treat your father, buy your sister something to eat, and let yourself be fed, this is the time for you to grow up, eat enough, and then you will have the strength to work, and you will never go hungry again. ”

Darker was stunned, a little incredulous.

Donner added, "Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough. Duck nodded repeatedly.

The money was exactly what he desperately needed, so Duck wasn't stupid enough to refuse. Duck doesn't care about his life and death, the only thing he can't let go of is his sister Diana.

At this time, Duck's heart was full of gratitude, he originally thought that he would be beaten and die, but he did not expect that things would turn out like this.

Duck took a step back, knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and thanked him: "Thank you, big brother, thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness." ”

Donner pulled him up, also in Idaq's dirty clothes, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back the money and protect your family." ”

Dark's eyes were red, he wiped a handful of tears, and with Donner's encouraging eyes, he left the restaurant.

When he got home, Duck was excited to tell his sister and father the good news.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he pushed open the door, he heard his sister's cry.

"Father, wake up!"

Duck rushed into the back room and looked at his father, who was lying motionless on the bed and not breathing at all, his face turned pale, and the money bag and breakfast slipped out of his hand.

Father...... He's dead.
