After arriving in Chaozhen, Wu Mian found that he seemed to have misunderstood Gu Xiangming.

He is indeed a poor and white man, and almost all his salary is subsidized to the poor households he helps.

Chaozhen is a vicious place, even in the daytime, gunshots can still be heard, but in this place where no one can enter, Gu Xiangming can also walk on the street with his chest straight, and those notorious "Diao Min" on the side of the road will smile when they see him and call him "Da Guzi".

The objects of Gu Xiangming's help are all at the bottom of this society, high school students whose parents have died, couples with cerebral palsy who depend on each other, and old men who are over 70 years old who have been bedridden for many years and rely on picking up waste to help with treatment.

Standing in the distance from the low-rise shantytown, you can see the endless flow of hovercars, the golden buildings and the hovering dragon of the holograms on the rooftops.

High-rise buildings block the afternoon sun, and the capital even enjoys more light.

Wu Mian has seen more ugliness than Gu Xiangming, and he also has no feelings about this kind of torn appearance, but he has been following Gu Xiangming and visiting poor households.

At that time, Lin Hanshu, walking in this sinful place, was not so nervous, I don't know if it was the shouting and gunfire around her that made her calm, or because this place was like the place where she lived when she was a child.

Their last stop was the home of a migrant couple.

Wu Mian looked at the sturdy couple and didn't understand why they were poor households, until he entered the room and saw the child lying on the hospital bed, and then he reacted.

"Da Guzi, you sit!"

The woman beckoned a few people to sit down in the cramped room, and beckoned to the middle-aged man in Mune: "What are you doing in a daze, boil some water!" ”

"Don't be busy."

Gu Xiangming's words did not stop the middle-aged, looking at the child on the bed and asking the woman, "Have you been to the hospital again recently?" ”

"Look, the doctor said that the child's muscles have atrophied and there is little chance of recovery." When the woman said this, her eyes were red: "My son was the best student in Chaozhen Middle School at the beginning, if he hadn't been hit by a drunk driver of Shajin Technology and became a high paraplegic, he wouldn't be what he is today." ”

Gu Xiangming is a short-tempered and kind-hearted person, and he also became indignant when he heard this: "The compensation has not been paid yet? ”

"It's been five years, and it's been given a long time ago."

The middle-aged man entered the door with an aluminum kettle and three porcelain bowls with slightly broken edges, and poured hot water on the three of them: "We went to the police, and the police said that the driver who caused the accident had corporate immunity and would not be judged by them. We went to Shajin Technology again, but the people from the company only said that we should wait for the notice, and then later, we were pulled into the corporate blacklist, I went to look for it once, but the security broke my leg...... You also know the situation of our family, the two of them do their best to keep the child alive, we can't fight the company, and we can't afford to toss! ”

"Alas......"

Gu Xiangming wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed, he wanted to help administer justice, but he was just a district councilor, and he didn't talk to the company at all, and the other party wouldn't take him seriously.

The woman didn't want to embarrass Gu Xiangming, so she changed the topic: "Da Guzi, I heard that you are going to run for speaker, and our family will definitely vote for you at that time!" If someone like you becomes the speaker, maybe the sixth district will be saved! ”

"Thank you."

Gu Xiangming glanced at the child and handed over a stored value chip in his hand: "This is this month's poverty subsidy, you take it, I understand the situation of your family, and I will find a way to upgrade you when I go back, and I can receive an extra fifty yuan every month." ”

"Thank you!"

The woman took the chip and grabbed Gu Xiangming's hand gratefully, and the middle-aged man on the side also bowed slightly, silently expressing gratitude.

Faced with the woman's request to stay for dinner, Gu Xiangming still refused, and when he walked to the door, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Mian: "Can you lend me some money, and I will pay you back when I open my salary." ”

Wu Mian knew what Gu Xiangming was thinking, and swept Gu Xiangming's iris with his bracelet: "I transferred 5,000 yuan to your account, you don't have to pay me back, just treat me as a good deed." ”

"I still have to give what should be given, this is what I asked you to borrow."

Gu Xiangming used his mobile phone to transfer the cash to a blank chip, and was about to turn around, but saw the middle-aged man chasing him out of the yard and stepping up to greet him: "Lao Wang, look at my memory, yesterday afternoon the district selected the extremely poor households, I reported your family, there is an additional subsidy of 5,000 yuan a year, you accept it!" ”

The middle-aged man did not take the lead in receiving the card, but looked at Wu Mian and Lin Hanshu beside Gu Xiangming in a restrained manner: "Da Guzi, I am looking for you because of another thing." ”

"It's okay, they are all relatives of my family, you don't have to hide from them if you have something to say."

Gu Xiangming stuffed the chip into the middle-aged man's hand: "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"It's not a help, it's just that I can't make up my mind about something in my heart and wants to talk to you."

The middle-aged chapped hand held the stored value chip in his hand, and lowered his head: "I took the child to the hospital for examination yesterday, I went alone, and the doctor told me that the child not only has muscle atrophy, but also organ failure, and there may not be much time left." ”

Gu Xiangming was stunned: "This ...... How could this be? ”

"That incident hit the child very hard, in the past five years, he has been depressed, living in hatred for the company every day, and has been resisting treatment, that day I cleaned up the room, swept out a lot of pills under the bed, he secretly spit out, my son has a strong personality, he doesn't want to live in the current way."

The middle-aged man was silent for two or three seconds, and his gaze became resolute: "I want to physically modify the child and make him a synthetic." ”

Gu Xiangming was stunned.

The middle-aged man clenched his fists slightly: "I know it's a crime to do this, but I don't have a choice, I'm a father, I just want my son to live." ”

"The meaning of the existence of the law is to make the good people live better, so that the wicked can be punished, if you have done nothing wrong, but the law still makes you feel tired, then don't care about it!"

Gu Xiangming looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you have the money to exchange the prosthetic weapons for the child?" ”

"My neighbor here in Chaozhen has found me a job, and I can earn a lot of money, and if it goes well, it will be enough to replace my child with second-hand equipment."

The man paused: "I came to you, just to entrust you with one thing, in case I have three long and two short, in the future, they will trouble you to take care of it more." ”

Gu Xiangming nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, the two of them will not starve to death." ”

The job introduced by the neighbors in this place of Chaozhen, Wu Mian didn't have to think about it to know what he was going to do, he had seen too many criminals who were more murderous than middle-aged, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this choice, but Gu Xiangming's attitude surprised him.

The resistance of natural people to synthetic people is engraved in his bones, and Gu Xiangming, as a staff member of the coalition government, actually stood on the side of the middle-aged, which once again refreshed his perception of this person.
