Chapter I
In the bustling street market, a boy with a scarred face carefully dragged a small dilapidated wooden cart, and there was a new one on the small wooden cart
Little boy. The little boy's face was sluggish, he smiled stupidly, and his saliva flowed onto the placket of his clothes, and the boy in the trailer saw it, stopped silently, and gently wiped the saliva from the corner of the little boy's mouth.
The little boy smiled stupidly: "Brother, brother" danced with his hands. The boy also had a soft smile on his face: "Good, brother, I'll buy you something to eat later." The little boy smiled silly as if he understood, and the saliva came out again, and the boy gently wiped the saliva away for his brother again.
The boy in the trailer looked embarrassed, skinny, and covered in scars, making people worry that he would not be able to survive the biting cold wind in the next second and collapse. But the boy walked steadily, his eyes clear and resolute. He held the rope of the car tightly in his hand, but he pulled it very lightly, for fear of accidentally falling and injuring his younger brother. The people in the market couldn't help but frown when they looked at it. These two little guys came to the city some time ago.
The older boy was kicked out by the owner of the pharmacy when he first saw them, but the boy ran in again, kneeling and kowtowing. His face was full of tears, and his kowtow was broken. The boy wanted the boss to give him some medicine for his fever on credit, but the boss looked up at the ragged boy, thought he was a liar, ignored him, and kicked him out bluntly. But the boy rushed in like crazy. Cursed on the ground like a crazy kowtow, the floor was knocked down, and the boss saw his appearance and felt compassion. I thought forget it, even if I was deceived, I would admit it, this little beggar worked too hard and recognized his acting skills.
It's just that I didn't expect this little beggar to get an inch, and when he got the medicine, he had to borrow money from the boss. Although it was only 10 copper coins, it still made the boss blow his beard angrily and stare at him. The boss was on fire in his belly, feeling that he had been deceived, and he almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, wanting to snatch back the medicine sent out, and then slap this shameless little beggar out. However, looking up at the little beggar's bleeding forehead and stubborn eyes, the boss's heart softened again, gritted his teeth and thought that he should do a good deed, and directly gave the little beggar twenty.
The little beggar was ready to accept the boss's slap in his heart, and when he looked at the handful of copper coins handed out by the boss, he was directly frightened and didn't dare to take it. In his impression, being bullied, suspicious and cold-eyed has long been commonplace, and suddenly someone is willing to treat him as a normal person, which makes him feel uncomfortable for a while. The boss looked at the stunned little beggar in front of him and became angry, and said angrily: "Little bastard, hurry up and get out of the house before I change my mind." ”
When the little beggar heard the boss say this, his frightened face changed greatly, and he hurriedly snatched the money from the boss's hand and left as if he were fleeing. The boss looked at the little beggar who suddenly changed, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is a real "actor" who turns his face faster than a book. It's just that as soon as the boss thought about it, he looked at the little beggar who had run two steps and stopped, turned around, bowed solemnly to the boss, and said, "Thank you for your trust, I will pay back the money I borrowed from you." The weather-beaten boss was stunned and waved his hand in disgust. The boss with a sigh on his face inadvertently sighed in his heart that he was old and couldn't keep up with the pace of the times.
A few days later, as soon as the door was opened, the boss saw the little beggar standing at his door, and he immediately became angry, because not only the little beggar, but also an even smaller little beggar next to the little beggar. The little beggar looked stupid. The boss thinks that he has regarded this place as a good hall, and this time he has come to form a group to "defraud", and he is ready to stage a bitter meat plan, right?
The little beggar didn't know what the boss thought, and directly handed over the money in his hand, and the boss was shocked and asked vigilantly: "What are you doing?" The little beggar scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I went to other pharmacies to ask for 47 copper coins for the medicine money, you gave me a copper coin, I owe you a total of 67 copper coins, and now I pay you 12, I still owe you 55." But I can't get that much money out now, but I will pay you back slowly in the future, thank you for your help. ”
The boss looked at the money in the little beggar's hand and was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the little beggar's hand was still stretched straight, and his eyes were clear and resolute. The helpless boss said like a deflated ball: "Forget it, what is given to you is for you, you take it, it's not too much money, and I won't give you more." The little beggar shook his head with a smile, his hand still stretched out, and the helpless boss could only accept the money.
The boss with a complicated face watched the little beggar squat down and wipe the saliva of the little beggar on the cart, and then pulled the car and left quietly. Such a scene made the boss feel that he had lived in vain, and suddenly he began to doubt whether the principles he had been pursuing were correct. Sitting on a stool with a frown, he was stunned.
The little beggar walked down the street with his younger brother, and now he didn't care what other people thought of him. Others are willing to treat him with kind eyes, and he is full of gratitude, even if he can't reciprocate, he must silently wish others well. He won't mind being full of malice and disgust for him, his experience over the years has long made him accustomed to malice, and in order to survive, he doesn't even have time to take care of other people's malice, he doesn't even have time to think about it.
Just begging for life still makes him physically and mentally exhausted, where is the time to take care of other people's suspicions, he just wants to take care of his younger brother. He didn't have time to think about the others, a person who was not treated with kindness was often the best able to recognize the kindness of others.
It's hard to imagine how a child who is only eight years old can be in such a state of mind. What kind of experience can make him have the smooth maturity he has now?
The little beggar quietly dragged his brother down the street, thinking about how to solve the problem, and he was very happy to see the things that others didn't want to fall on the ground, many of which could be sent to the blacksmith shop to sell for money, which was one of the biggest sources of income, and firewood could be used for heating or selling for money. During the day he went around picking up garbage to sell, and at night he took his brother to rest on the corner of the street, a small nest made of firewood thatch and dead branches, which was their hut.
The little beggar has a name, called Jun Mochou, and his younger brother is called Jun Mochou. It's just that no one has called his name for a long time, everyone just calls him a little beggar, and no one cares about his name. He didn't mind what others shouted, but he had to memorize his and his brother's names, after all, this was the only thing his parents left them, and when he thought of his parents, he couldn't help but redden.
I don't know if there is a paradise, and if there is, I don't know if my parents are happy there. He was conflicted and hoped that there would be heaven, so that although his parents were not with them, they would be with them in another way. But he also hoped that heaven did not exist, so that their parents would not see their current embarrassment and would not have to worry about their lives.
After thinking about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, Jun Moxian rubbed his face, hugged his younger brother beside him tightly, and silently vowed in his heart to take care of his younger brother and cure his brain. This way, parents can rest assured. They can also be happy over there.
The little beggar gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his brother's mouth, and fell asleep quietly with his arms around him. At this time, the cold wind in the outside world has nothing to do with him, after all, dreams are beautiful.
