Chapter 8: Human Nature (2)

"Fairy Gu is giving porridge! Fairy Gu is making porridge! Everyone hurry up—"

In the middle of the market, a black-clothed man shouted loudly, and his loud voice almost spread throughout half of Zhangde Mansion. The hungry and cold people were in high spirits and rushed to line up, and a long queue had already filled the entire street. And in the crowd, a child who was only seven or eight years old in tattered clothes could not occupy a place, and was always being squeezed around.

"Wow! I saw the fairy girls again, they are so beautiful! they are even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky......

"Idiot, have you ever seen a fairy in the sky?"

"Of course I did! Last night I saw them flying around in the sky and smiling at me!"

"Hmph! Just blow it, idiot. ”

"Don't make any noise, the fairy girl will be unhappy later. ”

......

"Fairy aunts, they are very good people! Come here every day to give us porridge, otherwise we would have starved to death." ”

"Yes, yes, the fairy girl is not only beautiful, but also has a good heart! Only the fairy in heaven will come to save us at this time. ”

"However, there are too few people and porridge, how can you eat enough!"

"Less nonsense! It's good to have something to eat, now even the emperor doesn't care about us, who cares about our life or death." ”

"Alas~~ It's better to die than to live, the world is bleak, and human life is cheaper than dogs!"

"Hey, hurry up ahead, don't get in the way!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

......

Yue Fan stood not far away and watched. Hearing these people talking, I also have a general understanding of the situation here.

It turns out that these people are some of the people in the city and refugees who have migrated here from nearby towns, and they have no homes, no relatives, no support, and no way to live, so they can only rely on a little relief from others to live, and they can be regarded as poor people.

Through the dense crowd, at the front of the line, there is a simple pergola, I don't know if it is to set off themselves, in this simple tea shed, there are three young women in the charity. The woman in the middle was dressed in bright red, showing nobility and generosity, while the two women beside her were dressed in turquoise and elegant. They are beautifully dressed, all of them have bright eyes and bright teeth, and their beautiful appearance is pleasing to the heart.

"In troubled times, you can still help yourself, it seems that these 'fairy aunts' are not bad. Seeing the scene in front of him, Kou Fei nodded with a smile, looking very appreciative.

"Really?" Yue Fan glanced at the three women deeply, and said lightly: "These people don't deserve sympathy. ”

Kou Fei was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't think about it secretly. With his understanding of Yue Fan, he knew that the other party would not usually say anything boring, so he looked over again......

Come every day, come every day, every day?

After looking at it carefully for a long time, a sharp glint flashed in Kou Fei's eyes. These three women are no ordinary people!

If it is enough to give once or twice, but if they come here every day to give alms, there must be something wrong with these three women. They imperceptibly instilled the dignity and faith of these refugees, and made them inseparable from themselves. After a long time, these people will be content with the status quo, and gradually become numb under the charity of others, without dignity and blood, once the three women leave, then they will have no way to live, and finally can only be willing to become obedient puppets. No wonder Yue Fan said that these people are not worthy of sympathy, although one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, but there is such a mystery in it, it is unbelievable. Who is behind the scenes, and for what purpose?

Yue Fan looked at the refugees in front of him, and he didn't know whether to be angry or excited. He used to be a person who was struggling at the bottom of society, but through his own efforts, he struggled out of the predicament and finally got rid of the shackles of poverty. Therefore, Yue Fan's mood at this time was very complicated and contradictory.

In this world, there are actually many people like them, struggling at the bottom of society, living a life of resignation, giving up dignity and hope, not knowing why they live, but they don't want to die like this. Now that they have given up on themselves, who else can help them, who will help them, no one can help them!

......

After drinking the porridge, the refugees scattered and refused to leave, so they looked at the three women in the tea shed stupidly, sometimes smirking, not knowing what was going on in their minds.

After a while, Yue Fan focused his attention on the child just now. Because the child was weak, he was squeezed to the last.

The woman in red in the middle saw that it was a child and said with a smile: "You little baby is lucky, there is still the last half bowl of porridge left for you." ”

The child didn't speak, silently stretched out his hand, but the other party suddenly put the bowl back.

The child raised his head slowly, and his indifferent eyes were full of cynical hatred.

The woman in red was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, did you say that my sister is beautiful?"

As soon as these words came out, the two women beside them smiled, and the surrounding refugees couldn't help nodding their heads, muttering: "Beautiful! ”

“......”

Seeing that the child was still silent, the woman in red was a little annoyed, and her beautiful face was a little unhappy.

"I can't imagine that the second sister is interesting to a child, hehe!"

"Giggles, why should the second sister bother with children. Let's pack up our things and go back, the eldest sister said that there is important news from the gang and wants to tell us. ”

Hearing the two women in green next to her laughing, the heart of the woman in red didn't hit the fire. She has always considered herself beautiful, and how many men in the gang have admired her, but how can she ever be despised? But this child does not know how to advance or retreat, and she has to embarrass herself, causing her to lose face in front of her two younger sisters.

The woman in red wanted to deliberately knock over the porridge, but suddenly saw an old man staggering behind the child, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Since the little brother is so shy, then there is no need to talk about it...... Come, this bowl of porridge for you to drink. ”

After taking the porridge bowl, the child walked to the side and was about to drink the porridge, and heard the woman just now say: "Old woman, you see that our porridge is finished, and the last half of the bowl is also given to the little doll, why don't you go and ask him for it...... Yes, the one standing next to me. ”

The child looked back, but it was an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, who was vaguely looking at his side.

"This woman's heart is really poisonous enough, she actually takes advantage of other people's humanity!" Kou Fei said with interest: "Little brother, do you think that child will give the half bowl of porridge in his hand to the old woman?"

"I don't know. "Yue Fan doesn't understand human nature, so naturally he doesn't know.

Kou Fei smiled and said: "I definitely won't give it, if the kid gives the porridge to the old district, the old man will accept him as an apprentice." Hey~~"

It seemed that with all his strength, Lao Qu suddenly fell to the ground and was dying, with a look of despair on his pale face. And the child, looking at it expressionlessly, that indifferent look made people feel a chill.

Not far away, Yue Fan looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself: "When it comes to despair, human nature is really so ugly?"

Thinking of a long time ago, that innocent, cute, and lively child, now that he has become like this, my heart is sad. Is reality changing human nature, or is man changing reality? Perhaps, at this time, no one is qualified to measure the difference between right and wrong.

"Alas, the old man has seen a lot of such things. On the rivers and lakes, there are many people who eat people, people who cry at people, who do not save people when they see death, and fall into the well, even those who pretend to be righteous are not exempt from vulgarity, let alone a child who only has the instinct to survive. Kou Fei sighed.

Sure enough, the child lifted the bowl as if to take a sip of the porridge.

Yue Fan couldn't see any expression on his face, Kou Fei sighed in disappointment, and the young girl snorted disdainfully.

The surrounding people looked at the child with disdain, but they didn't know how they would make a choice in such a situation?

The child put the bowl to his mouth, took a sip, and then unexpectedly handed the porridge bowl out......

Yes, he handed the bowl of porridge to the dying old neighbor and fed him to drink.

Everyone froze in place, with different expressions on their faces, some ashamed, some ashamed and some angry.

Yue Fan looked relieved, but Kou Fei looked incredulous, with his decades of experience, there would be a day when he guessed wrong! And the woman in red was as ugly as eating a dead fly.

......

Lao Qu slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and said weakly: "Child, thank you!"

The child looked at the old area and still did not speak, but his eyes showed his true feelings.

"Actually, the old body should have died a long time ago, and it should have died a long time ago...... But I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled! Before I die, I still want to see my son for the last time, he has been gone for more than 20 years, and now I don't know where he is...... The old body can't wait, I ......"

The old district couldn't catch his breath, gasping for breath, and the child's eyes were rosy, gently patting the back of the old district.

"Thank you...... Thank you, it's not long lived, in fact, I should have let go a long time ago, he won't come back, he won't come back...... Come, kid, this necklace is the only thing that Lao Sheng has, and I'm going to die anyway, so I'll give it to you now......"

As he spoke, the old district struggled to find a rusty chain from his arms, and handed it to the child after a moment of remembrance.

"He's not coming back......"

The old district closed his eyes peacefully, and a tear hit the child's palm.

......

A mournful atmosphere permeated the street, and the girl in red stepped out of the tea shed and knocked over the child's porridge bowl and necklace. There was a buzz all around, and the refugees, who had been silent, began to talk.

The face of the woman in red turned red, and she changed her demeanor as a beautiful girl, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Shut up this girl, don't forget who gave you food." Ungrateful dog thing!hum~~"

The surrounding discussion faded away, and the refugees bowed their heads in shame. The woman in red looked smug and turned her head to look. But when she turned around and saw the child glaring angrily, she was so angry that smoke rose from the top of her head, slapped her, and shouted: "Stinky beggar, you dare to stare at this girl, hum......!

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and suddenly there was silence, and the woman in red was slapped to the ground, leaving five deep fingerprints on her delicate face. That embarrassed appearance frightened the other two women in green at a loss.

Spicy hands urge flowers, there is no pity for the jade, this person is not Yue Fan, who is it? I saw him walking towards the child on the ground, caressing the other party's dirty bangs, his eyes were full of gentleness.

The child instinctively wanted to shake off his outstretched hand, but when he saw Yue Fan's appearance, the whole person froze there.

......

"Wow-"

After the extreme silence, there was an uproar all around.

"Second sister, you, are you okay?"

The two women in green woke up and hurriedly ran to help the girl in red up.

Humiliation, shame, resentment! The girl in red breathed fire in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Okay, stinky boy, you dare to beat this girl, see if I don't break your body to pieces!"

Before the two women in green could react, the women in red had already rushed over......

Yue Fan didn't look at it, he directly shook his hand and slapped the other party to the ground again. The woman who looked a little human-like just now turned into a pig's head after a while.

"You...... You, why did you beat my second sister?" The two women in green knew that they were not opponents, so they only kept shouting on the side.

Yue Fan didn't bother to pay attention to this, could it be that he wanted to reason with a woman who had lost his mind?

Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean that others don't have ideas. The surrounding refugees had received the favor of three women, and when they saw the three "delicate" girls suffering this great humiliation, they had long forgotten the insults that had happened to them before, and the crowd rose up and became indignant, as if their relatives had been victimized.

It's just that they are not martial arts masters, they can be said to be powerless, and seeing that Yue Fan is not a good type, how dare they take a step forward?

......

"Humph!"

Kou Fei's cold snort was like thunder on the ground, shaking everyone's ears with pain, and the noise immediately subsided. The refugees did not dare to make a sound, so they had to hesitate on the sidelines.

"A bunch of useless things!" The woman in red was still unconvinced, and said with a crazy and hungry face: "We are members of the 'brotherhood', you dare to do something to Aunt Ben, and Grandma Ben wants you to die a good death!

Threat!?

A cold light flashed in Yue Fan's eyes! Chenxiang had just been "forcibly" taken away, and he was on fire at this time, where would he care who they were? If the other party didn't know what to do, he wouldn't mind killing them today!

"! "As one of the top ten masters of the White Dao, how could Kou Fei have been so scolded by a junior? A palm wind forced over, and the three women were all pushed to the ground, their hair was scattered and embarrassed, how could they have that delicate appearance just now!

Feeling the killing intent of the other party, the three girls immediately shut up, just glared fiercely and left.

......

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you......"

Everyone withdrew their gaze, only to see the child punching and kicking, scratching and biting at the person in front of him, and his angry eyes seemed to hide great hatred. The person who was beaten stood silently and did not fight back, and there was no expression in his eyes except pain.

After a while, the child seemed to get tired and his hands and feet became slow.

Yue Fan still touched the child's bangs and said, "Dog baby, I'm sorry!"

"White-haired brother!I hate you!I really hate you!Woo woo~~~" The child's body trembled slightly, and then he threw himself into Yue Fan's arms, howling and crying, as if to alarm the heavens and the earth!

In fact, this child is the only orphan in Taoyuan Village. At the beginning, Yue Fan was seriously injured and passed through Taoyuan Village and was helped by the dog baby's family. In order not to disturb them, Yue Fan left in a hurry the next day. Who knew that Taoyuan Village would still be unable to escape the catastrophe, and it ended up in a tragic situation where the village was destroyed.

Yue Fan thought that all the people in Taoyuan Village were dead, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart. I didn't expect to meet the dog baby here today, and become like this, that kind of hatred is not understandable to anyone.

Looking at the dog baby who was tired and collapsed in his arms, Yue Fan gently picked him up.

Seeing that Yue Fan was leaving, Kou Fei hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?"

Yue Fan felt disturbed and didn't want to explain more, so he left by himself.
