Yuzhou City
Early the next morning.
The sun is shining, and the sky is covered with patches of fish belly white. The warm light shines on the ground. One day is in the morning, pedestrians begin to leave the house, busy with the day's livelihood, the streets begin to become bustling, noisy and noisy.
On the street, two small figures appeared at the corner of the street, and the tattered clothes were not two little beggars.
"It's really lively." Duan Fei's eyes widened, and he looked curiously at the small stalls and vendors that began to appear on the side of the street. There are rock sugar gourds, sugar people, steamed buns and silk scarves. With an endless stream of novelties, Duan Fei's eyes widened when he saw it.
In the twenty-first century, he had seen these novel things, all of which he had never seen before, and he looked at them as if Grandma Liu had entered the city.
Zhong Xiaokui grabbed his little hand and shook it, "Brother, I'm hungry." ”
Duan Fei grabbed his little hand, pointed to the stall selling steamed buns not far away, and said, "Look, where is there anyone who sells steamed buns, let's go ask for a few." ”
Holding the little daughter-in-law, he walked towards the stall, and as soon as he got closer, Duan Fei pretended to be cute and innocent and cute, and said, "Uncle, can you give me some food, my sister hasn't eaten for a day." ”
The peddler selling steamed buns turned his head when he heard the sound, saw the two little beggars, waved his hands and said in disgust, "Go, go, the little doll will hit wherever it comes, don't delay my business." ”
In this year, due to the war everywhere. Penniless beggars and homeless people are everywhere, and there are many people who starve to death on the streets, and there are many hawkers, how can they really help others, and if other beggars know, they will not starve to death for their own families.
"Bad luck, I met two little beggars early in the morning." The peddler was still muttering discontentedly.
When the stall selling silk scarves and jade pendants on the side heard this, he sighed and said, "Hey, you can't say that, who let it be the way of the world." ”
Yes, who let it be the way of this world, the world is full of displaced people. Whoever dares to save and how much can be saved. A little relief today, but what about tomorrow? There are more and more beggars begging every day, who has the power to save. Those who have the ability are unwilling to save, and those who want to save are not capable, and over time, most people become indifferent.
Duan Fei had no choice but to lead Zhong Xiaokui away and continue to walk forward, hoping to find a well-wisher and beg for some food.
"Hey, I didn't expect this world to be so hard and indifferent."
Duan Fei couldn't help sighing, he led Zhong Xiaokui all the way. He couldn't remember how many people he had asked and how many good things he had said, but he had found nothing, but he had received a lot of bitter and mean cold words.
"Brother, I'm so hungry that I can't walk." Zhong Xiaokui said aggrievedly, holding Duan Fei's little hand.
"Hey." Duan Fei sighed and said like a little adult, "Let's take a look, Xiaokui is so cute, there will definitely be good people willing to help us." ”
The two continued to walk slowly, and soon found an old man pouring a basin of water at the door.
Duan Fei's eyes lit up, he pulled Xiao Kui, and walked towards the person who came. When he got closer, Duan Fei said, "Hello, this grandma." ”
When the old man heard this, he saw that they were two dirty little beggars. Like a brother and sister, their young little faces are covered with dust. The old man said softly, "Little doll, but I'm hungry and want to beg for food." ”
Zhong Xiaokui nodded, and said in a young voice, "Yes, grandma, my brother and I are hungry, can you give us something to eat." ”
The old man sighed, beckoned to the two, and motioned for the two to follow into the house, and the old man said, "Let's talk about it when you enter the house, there are no more things, but you can still fill your stomach." ”
The two followed the old man into the house, and saw that the house was empty. I think that the old man is also quite hard, and he is not rich. There are only basic living utensils in the house, except for the bed and stove, and only an old table and chair remain.
The old man closed the door and went to the stove, and came over with a porcelain bowl in his hand, in which were two steamed buns. Put it on the table and say, "Eat, there is not much left, only two steamed buns." ”
Duan Fei said, "Grandma, we ate, so what should you do?" ”
The old man smiled kindly, reached out and touched Duan Fei's head. "The little doll is really sensible, it's okay, don't worry. My unfilial son will bring food later. ”
Zhong Xiaokui had already eaten, grabbing the big steamed bun and eating it with a small mouth.
"Oh." Duan Fei agreed, and couldn't help but eat, although it didn't taste much, it was still very delicious.
"Hehe~" Looking at the child's rapid eating, I thought that I had been hungry for a long time. The old man looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
A steamed bun went down, Duan Fei's small belly was full, and he couldn't help but burp. Some were choked.
The old man poured a bowl of water, handed it to him, and said, "Slow down, don't hurry." ”
"Thank you, grandma." Duan Fei said again and took the water handed over. When I drink it, the water goes down my throat, and it feels much smoother.
Zhong Xiaokui is still eating, a steamed bun is the size of half of his face, and he is only halfway through it now. Seeing this, Duan Fei said to the old man with concern.
"Grandma, does your son bring you food every day? He is really filial. ”
When the old man heard this, he paused for a moment before saying with a dissatisfied face, "Filial piety, he also deserves to be called filial piety." In this city of Yuzhou, none of the surrounding fathers and villagers knew that he had done something hurtful. ”
Speaking of this, the old man sighed a little sadly. It seems that there is a lot of unwillingness.
Duan Fei lowered his head, not daring to talk nonsense. The old man obviously had a lot of complaints about his son. How dare he provoke the sad things of the good old man.
After all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Duan Fei hurriedly changed the topic and began to talk about his own affairs, wanting to ask where there was a place to store children, or a place suitable for children to work.
The old man just shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and there was nothing he could do about it. There were many displaced people in the city. He's just a lonely old man who can't give much advice. Instead, he told Duan Fei to be careful when he was alone outside, as children were not safe in the city.
After Zhong Xiaokui finished eating, Duan Fei took him to say goodbye to the old man. Thanks to the old man's hospitality, in this chaotic era, kind-hearted people are really rare.
Out of the door, the old man hesitated and said seriously, "Be careful, there are people in Yuzhou City who are specifically watching children." ”
"Thank you, grandma." After saying goodbye again, the two left the place and wandered around the streets. Begin begging for food for lunch and evening.
To the old man's warning, Duan Fei kept a heart. But I still didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe the old man is right, there are always people in the complex society who set their sights on lonely and helpless children. But he felt that this was only a certain extent, and it would not reach the point where he dared to commit murder in broad daylight.
On the contrary, for the old man said three words of Yuzhou City. He was a little surprised. How familiar the three words, now even Yuzhou City has come out, and I don't know if there is really such an ancient city in history, or Yuzhou City among bad people.
"No, it's better to be careful. It's better to figure it out sooner. Duan Fei thought secretly. The two of them walked all the way again, and this time Duan Fei changed his strategy and did not attack the small vendors on the side of the road.
Instead, they begged for food from nearby residents, after all, there were more people begging from the vendors every day. Even if there are well-wishers, they can't stand the toss every day, no.
The two looked at each other, and Zhong Xiaokui pointed to a woman, "Brother, is that okay?" ”
Duan Fei saw that the woman was forty years old, and her face was also kind and kind, not bitter and mean. At the age when love was overflowing, I couldn't help but admire, "Oh, my little kui's eyes are accurate, it's just him." ”
Zhong Xiaokui blushed a little and was embarrassed. The two discussed for a while, and Zhong Xiaokui was urged by Duan Fei to go in the direction of the woman.
"Come on." Duan Fei made an effort gesture and waved his hand at the little daughter-in-law who was looking at him, motioning for him to step forward.
Zhong Xiaokui plucked up her courage and walked to the woman and said softly, "Sister, I'm so hungry, Xiaokui hasn't eaten for a day. ”
When the woman looked up, she saw a poor messy girl looking at him pitifully.
After a while, when Zhong Xiaokui came out, he was holding a big snow-white steamed bun in his arms. With a nervous expression, he ran to the small port on the side.
When he stopped, he gasped for a light breath, and a trace of sweat flowed down his face because of nervousness. Like a frightened kitten, people can't help but care.
Duan Fei said with a smile, "Oh, there is really a harvest, my little kui is great." After speaking, he stretched out his mouth to Zhong Xiaokui and kissed him on the face.
"Hmm." Zhong Xiaokui's little face seemed to be attacked, and she instantly turned red. It's cute. The whole person was stunned. Although the two have been married since childhood, how could they have ever had such an intimate move.
Ten years old, in this precocious society. Basically, I understand.
While Duan Fei was still happy, Zhong Xiaokui said in a low voice, "We lied to him that he had seriously ill parents, is this really good?" ”
Duan Fei said indifferently, "Oh, what do you care about him so much." No, at least dinner has been settled. ”
"Then we lied to them. Good guy or bad guy. Zhong Xiaokui continued to ask. The tone was even lowered, as if he had done something harmful.
When Duan Fei heard this, he looked at him. His eyes couldn't help but become serious. He reacted that children at this age are the easiest to write down what they have experienced, and if they don't pay attention, it is really easy to make people worse.
Duan Fei looked at his little daughter-in-law, thought about it, and then said to him seriously, "Xiaokui, you have to remember." In this troubled world, we can't be good people, but we can't do things that hurt nature and reason. We want to live, and we can't be that innocent good people. ”
"So, no matter what the future holds. Remember, you can't go wrong with your heart. ”
"As long as our hearts are bright, no matter where we are in the future or what we do, we will be good people after all."
Zhong Xiaokui nodded, as if she understood.
