Chapter Ninety-Eight: The same is a fallen man
Boss Gao is thinking about how to live tomorrow, not every day has such good luck, meet a kind-hearted person, Boss Gao knows that in such a winter, if two people don't go out to beg tomorrow, they will definitely not be able to survive.
"Ahem" Just when Boss Gao was pondering, Lao Qi behind him began to cough violently, Boss Gao got up and took a look, Lao Qi was shivering all over, and his teeth were also fighting, clicking.
"If you don't drink, you'll suffer now!" Boss Gao took off his outer robe, although it was an outer robe, it was only a few rags put together.
Even so, it can be regarded as a bit of a role, Gao Boss covered Lao Qi on his body, and then walked to the fire by himself, because of the weather, this flame can't burn, and it looks like it will be extinguished at any time.
Boss Gao pulled over a plank, lay on it, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Early the next morning, Lao Qi got up half-asleep and half-awake, such a day was too cold, he couldn't sleep at all, he sat up and saw that Lao Qi on the side was gone.
Then he looked around and found that Lao Qi was asleep next to the fire, the fire had been extinguished at this time, and a stream of cold wind drilled into the temple, Lao Qi shivered, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
Looking at the clothes on his body, Lao Qi felt a trace of emotion in his heart, he stood up, walked to Boss Gao's side, and wanted to put the clothes on Boss Gao's body, but when he looked closer, he found something unusual.
Boss Gao's face was a little flushed, his body shrunk together, and his brows were furrowed. Lao Qi secretly said that it was not good, and touched the forehead of the tall boss, it was extremely hot, and Lao Qi hurriedly shouted.
But Boss Gao was in a daze, his consciousness was confused, and he didn't wake up at all. Lao Qi draped his clothes on Boss Gao's body, then took off his robe, picked up a pile of thatch from a distance, and also covered Boss Gao's body.
These were not enough, Lao Qi wanted to find something from the ruined temple, but in the dilapidated temple, they had nothing but the emotionless Buddha. However, the Buddha statue was wearing a robe, and Lao Qi suddenly moved his heart of compassion.
Walking in front of the Buddha statue, Lao Qi first climbed onto the incense table, then jumped in front of the Buddha statue, and looked at the stone Buddha.
If the Buddha really exists, why don't you be kind to the two of them, didn't the Buddha say that all sentient beings will be peaceful? But the two of them can only survive in the ruined temple, living a life with today and no tomorrow.
"I don't believe in you, I only believe in fate. As long as I can keep Gao Tian alive, I am willing to do anything. Lao Qi's eyes were Ling, he was not afraid of these, he just wanted to save Boss Gao, only to see him reach out and grab the corner of the robe and tear it off.
Shake the dusty robe a few times, Lao Qi wrapped the robe around the tall boss, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the bag was tight. Lao Qi knew that this would never be good, and he had to go to the doctor.
But he was just a broken beggar, penniless, where to find a doctor. But could it be that he watched Gao Tian die like this? Lao Qi made up his mind, walked to the door, moved the plank away, and as soon as he brought it, the cold wind rushed open the door mercilessly.
Lao Qi's face seemed to have been slashed by countless steel knives, but he knew that he couldn't be afraid, he wanted to save Boss Gao, he had always taken care of himself, and it was time for him to repay him. Lao Qi stepped into the ice and snow, he tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes, passed through the two knockers of the temple gate, and tied the door to death.
Walking on the snow that was enough to drown his ankles, Lao Qi walked towards the city step by step. In order to keep his body hot, he had to run, and the heavy snow soon buried the traces of his visit.
Lao Qi saw the gate of Yunhai City from a long distance, he was already soaked, his hair was also attached to his forehead, and he looked very embarrassed, but what scared him even more was that the heat in his body was losing and the temperature was getting lower and lower.
The city gate is still open, but because of the weather, there are very few people in and out, and all of them are tightly wrapped, except for Lao Qi, who is like an exception, wearing a thin cloth coat, because of the wet, thin body can be seen at a glance.
Lao Qi rushed into the city like this, the soldiers at the gate didn't seem to see him, they saw too many such people, every winter, if it doesn't snow, it's okay, once it snows, there are always some beggars and poor people who freeze to death in the city.
Walking on the empty street, Lao Qi looked aimlessly, how could anyone come out in such weather, even the big yellow dog at the door of an unknown house, he didn't bother to bark when he saw Lao Qi.
Lao Qi walked through one street after another, sometimes one or two people walked over, and he also begged, but those human rights were as if he did not exist, and some people even scolded him.
There is no strength, Lao Qi said in his heart, he really has no strength to shout anymore, squatting on the street, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, the snow melts in his mouth, Lao Qi feels that his cheeks are not his own.
After a while, Lao Qi began to beg again with his throat raised, "Ladies and gentlemen, give a little charity!" Seeing a person walking by, Lao Qi shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way, dead beggar. The man frowned, a look of displeasure. Seeing the other party's attitude, Lao Qi scolded in his heart, but he still wanted to save Boss Gao, so he could only reach out and hold the man's feet.
"Uncle, please, give me a little money!" Lao Qi touched the soft satin, the silk trousers were soft inside, and they were probably wearing cotton pants.
"Dead beggar, give me the side to die. The man saw that Lao Qi had wet his clothes, and his heart couldn't help but get angry, and he threw Lao Qi away with one kick, and then stepped on it a few times.
"Phew, you kind of garbage, you might as well die. Seeing Lao Qi lying motionless in the snow, the man spat at him, turned around and left. Lao Qi was lying in the snow, and he only felt that his whole body was in pain, and the cold was unbearable. But his heart was colder.
"It's better to die like this! Boss Gao is sorry. It's not the first time he's had such an idea, but he has always had Boss Gao encouraging him, so he can always persevere.
"Are you alright!" A milky voice sounded, and Lao Qi looked up to see that it was a four or five-year-old girl, with a long and delicate shape, and a pair of big eyes with a sadness that did not belong to this age.
There is a woman next to her, holding an umbrella, dressed in a palace dress, with delicate and beautiful facial features, which people can't forget at a glance. However, her eyes were full of contempt and indifference.
The little girl was dressed in satin and a warm coat outside, although she was very young, her temperament still showed that her status and family background were definitely different.
"This young lady, can you give me a little money? Lao Qi asked tentatively.
"Yu'er, don't worry about this kind of person. The woman in palace clothes next to the little girl spoke, and the contempt in her eyes became even stronger when Lao Qi opened his mouth to ask for money.
"I just want to save people, my family is suffering from the wind and cold, and I urgently need money to find a doctor. Lao Qi wanted to explain, he didn't want to be looked at like that, that kind of look was too familiar to him.
"Auntie, it's okay, give him a little money! My mother said that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. A hint of pity flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she raised her head and tugged at the sleeve of the palace woman.
"Your mother is just too good to save that vicious woman and end up like this. Although the woman in the palace costume was merciless in her words, the grief and anger in her eyes had begun to overflow.
"Auntie, I don't allow you to say that about my mother, it's that woman who is too bad. The little girl was a little unhappy, with tears shining in the corners of her eyes, and patted the thigh of the woman in the palace dress with her hand.
"Yu'er, don't cry. Looking at the little girl's pear blossom with rain, the palace woman was a little anxious, held Huaiyu in her arms, and put the umbrella aside with the other hand, constantly comforting.
Lao Qi watched that none of the falling snowflakes fell on the body of the palace woman, and his heart was shocked. The hope that had just sprung up in his heart was also wiped out, and in his impression, warriors were not good people.
Uncle Wang in the village was hacked to death by these so-called warriors, and their eyes were so contemptuous, so indifferent, and so high.
"Boy, this silver is for you, get out of here quickly. The woman in the palace costume took out a piece of silver from her bosom and threw it on the ground, she felt that she would not see her again, so she should be kind.
"Little brother, I'll give you this too!" Huaiyu took out a hairpin from his arms and threw it to Qi Hao. Lao Qi held the silver and the hairpin in his hand, he felt that the money was enough, this hairpin was no longer needed, and looking at this hairpin, it was too expensive.
"Miss, you better take back this hairpin!" Lao Qi said loudly, he needed money, but he wouldn't take everything.
"Yu'er, this is left to you by your mother, how can you give it to others casually. There was a little reproach in the words of the palace woman.
"Auntie, keep this thing, I won't be able to use it for many years, it's better to let it play its own use. Auntie, let's go quickly!" Qingyu finished speaking, holding the neck of the woman in the palace with both hands, and burying her little face in her loose hair.
"Cheap boy, let's go!" The palace woman's eyes wandered on the hairpin, and she muttered for a long time, no one knew what she was thinking, but a few snowflakes fell in her clear eyes, and then dripped from the corners of her eyes, melting the snow.
Lao Qi can see the importance of the hairpin to her, but she still didn't want to come back, as if it was for herself.
As Boss Gao said, in this red world, in this ruthless rivers and lakes, there are good people and bad people, don't complain, live with a smile, everyone is born with their own story, we have to hear the end to know whether it is happy or sad.
"Can you tell me the names of the two of you, and you will repay them in the future. Lao Qi looked at the back of the woman in the palace, if he can live, then he has to do something meaningful, and he wants to repay the favor.
"My name is Zhang Qingyu. Zhang Huaiyu raised her head in response, and then glanced at the woman in the palace dress, the other party shook her head slightly, and she didn't speak again.
Lao Qi muttered to himself, saying that this name was engraved in his heart. It wasn't until the two of them had disappeared from his field of vision that Lao Qi went to the doctor with the silver.
Boss Gao was saved, Lao Qi was full of joy, he left the hairpin on his body, he must return the things to her in the future, and he must thank her.
The snow in the sky suddenly became smaller, and the heavy dark clouds dispersed a little, and a shallow light came through.
