If people walk on their backs, they will stuff their teeth with cold water. Play fried chicken with friends, commonly known as zakin flowers. 3 5s were eaten by 3 9s, 3 Qs were eaten by 3 kings, flush to k was eaten by flush to a, to sum up, as long as my card is big, there must be a bigger one than me. I can see that this malicious world has abandoned me.

"O all-powerful God, lowly believers beg you to hear my voice. My mother's body is much weaker again, and there is nothing left at home, and if she can't make any more money, she won't be able to buy medicine for her mother's medical treatment. You are supreme and omniscient, please tell me how to do ....... ”

Bai Li prayed to the simple idol in the shrine and stood up exhausted.

It had been two days since she had earned enough money to buy food for her mother, let alone expensive medicine, and now the family's subsistence was wild vegetables dug from the countryside and cooked with pebbles and sand kernels. Not only is it difficult to swallow, but you also need to pay attention to the stones in the food, which can easily break your teeth.

Although the imperial capital is prosperous, there are also slums, and it is not small. Many people wonder why the consumption in the imperial capital is so high, and these poor people are still reluctant to leave this noisy city? In fact, it is not that they are unwilling to leave, but they have no way to leave.

In these days, it costs money to go to other small cities without bringing anything, and even if you go to other small cities without anything, you always have to pay for the journey, right? Even if you walk on your legs, what about the food on the road? You can't gnaw tree bark and drink raw water every day, right? Scientists have long said that if you drink unboiled water in the wild, you can easily get sick. Even if all this can be overcome, how will you settle down in other cities? Do you want to live in a bridge cave?

The homeless people will not let go of this opportunity to eat meat, and the fate of Bai Li and her mother will definitely be even more miserable than here.

Bai Li's father broke his leg in an accident at work in the early years, and although he spent a lot of money, he still didn't get it back, and the family that was supposed to be able to maintain food and clothing fell into the abyss in an instant. Her mother worked several jobs to raise Parkly, sometimes working behind closed doors.

I don't know which thing is lacking in morality, and I don't say anything when I get sick, so I spread the disease to Baili's mother.

The already poor family is even worse.

It was not easy to live in the imperial capital, and most of the poor could not afford to get sick. It doesn't matter if you are a well-off family or a well-off family, as long as you have a serious illness, it is basically the end of the family.

Bai Li also considered whether to do the same thing as her mother had done to save her mother's life, but her mother, who saw the signs, told Bai Li very clearly that if Bai Li went to prostitute or sold herself into a prostitute, she would be killed by the head.

Over the past year, her mother's health has become worse and worse, and she could barely do a little easier work before, but with the sudden drop in temperature and her weak body, she couldn't afford to get sick.

Fortunately, the church came at this time, and there would be alms every week, some food, or clothing, and occasionally some change. With the help of her neighbors and the charity of the church, her mother did not go to the gods in winter.

But the illness can't be delayed, the more it is delayed, the more serious it gets, and seeing a touch of death on her mother's face, Baili is already desperate, she only thinks about getting more food and clothing, so that her mother can eat and dress warmly when she leaves. As for curing her disease, there was no hope for a cure.

It is said to be a shrine, but it is not actually a shrine, but a few planks of wood are threaded through a square box, and there is a cross made of two fairly smooth and straight branches tied together, and there is a broken and half-pulled idol that she picked up from the garbage dump, and she grinds the fermented beans she picked up from the garbage pile into a pulp, and uses it as glue to barely stick a broken statue that cannot be seen.

She heard that the God in the church is spiritual, and if you pray with all your heart and tell God about your suffering, God will feel it and will send down divine grace to help you.

She is not very old, but she also knows that this may be fake, if there is really a god, why has no one seen it all these years? But this is already her only hope for survival, she will carefully wipe the shrine every day, wipe the statue, pious prayer, hoping that one day she can move the heavens, let the ethereal god save herself.

She didn't know what God looked like, but she had also heard the religious mother-in-law next door say that Lord Rossi in the imperial capital was the doppelganger of God walking in the world, and he was the Holy Son, and God should look similar to him. Every time Bai Li prayed, the image of God in her mind was exactly the same as the Rosie she had seen from afar.

After a glance from afar, she didn't dare to step forward, the ugly and thin wild girl would make these big people disgusted. She had seen Chi Guoguo's disgust more than once in the eyes of those big people who took out handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and noses, like seeing a piece of dog shit on the side of the road, which was annoying but helpless to avoid it.

Parklane also has her own little self-esteem, stubborn, strong, and at the same time full of despair.

She took a deep breath and bowed to the shrine, handling some of the barely ingestible food she had picked up from the junkyard that morning. Most of the rotten fruit was cut off from the spoiled parts, leaving a small bite of the flesh still intact, and dug it out and set it aside. A few bones with meat crumbs were picked up from a pile of restaurant trash and cleaned and torn off the bones. The mother-in-law next door gave her a handful of wheat kernels, washed them and put them in the pot, added some wild vegetables they had dug up, put a little water, and put them on the fire to cook.

Don't think that the garbage dumps are easy to visit, those places have long been occupied, and each place has a special person responsible for looking through the garbage. In particular, the garbage dump in the aristocratic district was surrounded by a chamber of commerce, and it is said that gold coins and even some good gems can be found from time to time.

She can go to the garbage dump to pick up things, thanks to some people who know her or know her, and have compassion, but they don't let her pick up too much, after all, others have to live.

The water in the pot boiled, and a faint fragrance permeated the already leaky room. She kicked out some firewood, took a towel that had been washed and could not be seen the color or fabric, and staggered to the hospital bed with a basin of water. She needs to wipe her mother's body, turn her over and move her limbs before eating.

When she lifted the futon, a foul smell hit her, and she was used to it. The mother's eyes were full of tears again, and her trembling lips could not say a word.

She rolled up her sleeves, dried the towel, and worked hard to wipe her mother's body. She used the strength of breastfeeding, and the mother-in-law next door said that when she rubbed hard, she could also give her mother a massage, which could relax her muscles and invigorate her blood, so she was particularly hard.

She didn't dislike the smell of her mother's body at all, nor did she dislike the suppurated area, and after carefully and seriously wiping the pus with another towel, she helped her mother move her limbs a few times before carefully changing her position to lie down.

"It's good luck to have meat today. She smiled, her smile pure and clean, but her mother couldn't cry.

wiped the delicate beads of sweat on his forehead and covered the cup, "You wait a while, I'll bring it to you." ”

The woman looked at her daughter's back, and tears burst out uncontrollably.

This scene is played out every day, and sometimes she feels that it is better for her to die, at least her daughter does not have to suffer so much, and she does not have to think about what will happen after her death.

But she was reluctant, she still wanted to see her daughter more and breathe more air in this world.

People are afraid of death, and she is no exception.

This is an extremely contradictory feeling, wanting to die and wanting to live.

Bai Li walked to the side of the pot with a wooden bowl with a broken hole, and gently scooped out the thick part that had sunk to the bottom with a wooden spoon.

She sat on the edge of the bed with a wooden bowl, carefully scooped out a spoonful, blew it cold, and brought it to her mother's mouth.

The woman closed her eyes and opened her mouth, the temperature of the piping hot food was just right, bringing a touch of heat to her cold body. She chewed her food slowly, the touch between her lips and teeth made her feel some meat crumbs, and the rich aroma permeated her mouth.

"You...... Eat some too. ”

Bai Li smiled and patted her stomach, "I already ate a bowl just now, and I have a lot of meat." ”

"That's good ....... The woman couldn't stop crying, how could she not tell if her daughter had eaten?

After eating half a bowl, the woman stopped opening her mouth, "I really can't eat it, you can eat the rest, don't waste food." ”

Bai Li nodded, holding the wooden bowl and eating the small half bowl of food seriously, as if it was some kind of delicacy.
