Prologue: Five cents (can be skipped)

Next Chapter

In August, the capital spent a hot summer, although it was still very hot, but you can still feel a trace of coolness that belongs to autumn. In the bustling park, a tall and thin young man sat on a bench with his head down and kept making calls, his shabby clothes and dejected appearance were destined to make people not pay too much attention to him, but if someone really kept observing, they would find that he had been sitting there and making calls for nearly an hour, but as time went by, his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and his already gray face became more gloomy.

"Hey, Brother Zhang? I'm a little broken, that one has been a little tight lately, can you see if you can toot, hey?"

Mo Duan looked at the phonebook of his mobile phone and had reached the end, leaving the last phone call undialed. If this is still the same as before, then Mo Duan really doesn't know what to do, he hasn't eaten for three days, and his emaciated body seems to be blown down by a gust of wind. I can't find a job, autumn has come, will winter be far away? I can't sleep in the park anymore, and my already weak body will have to go to see Hades if I catch a cold. Although Mo Duan is not afraid of death, he is really unwilling. is the so-called thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, but the key is that he has always stayed in Hedong and has never been to Hexi.

"Hey, who's it?" Mo Xuan gritted his teeth and pressed the dial Jian, and a young man's voice came from the phone.

"Yang Zi, I'm Mo Xuan. You can lend me something. Mo Xuan was about to say the word money, but was suddenly interrupted by a male voice on the phone.

"Oh, Brother Duan, what are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly, I'm in the mountains, and the signal is not very good. ”

"Huh. Nothing, goodbye. Mo Duan sneered and hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to reply.

Mo Duan raised his head that had been lowered, looked at the blue sky, the sun shone on his angular face, although his body was thin and his clothes were shabby, but it was still not difficult to see that there was an indescribable temperament hidden under that delicate face.

Maybe he figured something out, maybe it was the bright sunshine that warmed his already cold heart, and made his sad face leak a long-lost smile.

Sure enough, when people are most successful, it is not how many people you know when you are brilliant, but how many people know you when you are down, and your life is really a failure.

Mo Duan put away his phone, and there was a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth.

I took out the cigarette case in my pocket, and when I saw that it was empty, my brow furrowed again. continued to rummage through his pockets, and finally found three crumpled one yuan, Mo Duan looked at the three yuan in his hand, with a wry smile on his face, I don't know what to do after this box of cigarettes is smoked, maybe I can bear it if I don't have anything to eat, but it's really hard to bear without smoking, especially at this time. Forget it, go buy cigarettes.

"Boss, get me the cheapest pack of cigarettes. ”

Mo Duan put the three yuan in his hand on the table.

"Three pieces of five. ”

A chubby boss looked at Mo Duan and said with a smile.

Mo Duan raised his head and looked at the boss for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't it three?"

The chubby boss didn't speak, just continued to look at him with a smile.

"Oh, forget it. ”

Mo Xuanyan frowned, and was about to put away the three yuan on the table and prepare to leave, when a crisp voice suddenly came from beside him: "Uncle, wait a minute." ”

Mo Duan turned his head to look to the side, but he didn't find the person who spoke. Suddenly, I felt someone tugging at my clothes, looked down, and smiled dumbly, it turned out to be a little girl who was no more than five or six years old, less than his waist height, with two pigtails, extremely cute, and chubby little hands holding two lollipops that seemed to have just been bought.

Mo Duan squatted down, looked at the little girl in front of him, and frowned lightly, "Little friend, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Uncle, this is for you. The little girl took out one of the two lollipops in her hand and handed it to Mo Duan in front of her.

Mo Duan looked at the lollipop handed over and was completely stunned, little girl, lollipop, uncle. Why is it so familiar, but is it not the other way around. Phew, what a mess.

was stunned for a moment, Mo Xuan felt that there was an extra thing in his hand, and looked down to see that the little girl had not spoken for a long time, and had almost stuffed the lollipop in his hand into his hand. Mo Duan looked at the lollipop in his hand and the innocent face of the little girl in front of him, ashamed of the idea just now. Hurriedly handed the lollipop in his hand to the little girl again, and said with a wry smile: "Little girl, thank you." But Uncle doesn't have a sweet tooth, so I'll give it back to you. ”

The little girl didn't take the lollipop back, but looked at Mo Duan and said seriously: "Uncle, this is not for you to eat, you just bought cigarettes for five cents." I just bought this lollipop for five cents, and you can exchange it for those five cents so you can buy cigarettes. ”

Mo Duan stared at the little girl in a daze, his heart turned over, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, let alone whether he should accept this seemingly heavy five cents now. But he seemed to subconsciously nodded, looking at the little girl's happy face, Mo Xuan was silent, he knew that he had accepted the five cents in his heart.

Mo Duan stood by the lake in the park, quietly smoking this pack of cigarettes, although it was the cheapest cigarette, but the five cents contained in it seemed to him more precious than anything in the world.

The originally gloomy mood seemed to be purified with the appearance of the little girl.

"Ah, come on. ”

"Help, someone has fallen overboard. ”

"Who can save my child? ”

There were bursts of crying in the distance, which made Mo Duan, who was standing by the lake smoking, stunned, it seemed that someone had fallen into the water, and the sharp-eyed Mo Duan looked at a small figure in the lake struggling, but the figure seemed to be a little familiar, wait, could it, damn it. Mo Xuan scolded in a low voice, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand casually, and didn't even have time to take off his clothes, and plunged into the water. He seemed to have forgotten that he had run out of food for three days, and he was hungry and didn't know if he could hold on to saving people.

'Whew' in good water, Mo Xuan quickly swam to the little girl's side, hugged the exhausted little girl, looked at the familiar face, but no longer lively and cute just now, but pale, closed eyes, and breathed intermittently in the nose. Although it was noon, the water was still cold, and Mo Duan was holding the little girl in one hand and paddling the water with the other. Just now he rescued the little girl with one breath, but now his already weak body finally began to protest, and his arm was almost as heavy as a thousand pounds. If you can't do it, you have to insist, don't break your teeth. It doesn't matter if she dies, but the little girl must not have an accident.

Mo Xuan's character is actually very unique, he may be grateful to that person for a lifetime because of one thing, or he may resent him for a lifetime. It belongs to a kind of revenge and revenge, and there is a character of repaying kindness, people with this character are very similar to ancient chivalrous, but it is difficult to mix in modern society, and most people have been smoothed out of the edges and corners and become sleek and sophisticated. Otherwise, it's like a broken one.

The eyelids are so heavy, Mo Duan looked at the shore that was not far away, and finally arrived, but I couldn't hold on anymore.

"Look, that young man, he seems to be running out of his life. ”

The crowd of onlookers on the shore finally realized that something was wrong.

"If you know how to water, hurry up and get into the water. An old man shouted.

Two of the young men looked at each other and nodded. At the same time, he jumped into the water and swam towards Mo Xuan.

When Mo Duan saw the two people swimming towards him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally looked at the little girl he was holding, picked her up with both hands, raised her head at the same time, and closed his eyes happily, my life is not a failure. Mo Xuan's body sank into the water.

Yes!

The crowd on the shore looked at Mo Xuan, who was sinking, and let out a burst of exclamations.

The two young people who jumped down to save people just now also noticed that something was wrong and sped up again. Finally arrived when Mo Duan was completely sinking, one of them quickly took the little girl from Mo Duan's hand, and the other grabbed Mo Duan with one hand, and swam towards the shore at the same time.

Drip!

The shrill sound of ambulances rang from far to near.

"Flash away. ”

Four doctors rushed up with stretchers.

One of the doctors, first briefly examined the little girl, pressed her chest with her hand.

"Ahem. ”

The little girl closed her eyes and coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, and before the little girl could open her eyes, she was carried on a stretcher and quickly carried away.

The crowd of onlookers were happy to see that the little girl was fine, and at this time, the other two doctors were constantly checking Mo Xuan's body. One of them put his ear to Mo's heart and listened for a while, and then took some emergency measures, and finally stood up and shook his head at the crowd of onlookers.

When the crowd saw that the doctor had announced Mo Xuan's death, there was a commotion, especially the act of lifting the little girl above his head just now, which shocked everyone.

"How can you quacks not be saved, why don't you hurry up and rush to the hospital for rescue. One of the uncles shouted excitedly.

"He's already dead. ”

A doctor said coldly. The doctor is cold at all times, perhaps because he has seen too much death.

"No way, when I pulled him, he sank into the water for less than a minute, how could he die. The young man who couldn't save the time argued.

"He was not drowned, he was exhausted. I don't know why, but from my years of experience, it seems like this person hasn't eaten for a long time. ”

When the doctor said this, seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he pulled off Mo's shirt with his hand, and sure enough, the skinny body inside was exposed, and the ribs were clearly visible.

"Here's what's going on. ”

The crowd of onlookers let out a burst of exclamations.

"I know. ”

The old man who opened his mouth to let people go down to save Mo Duan walked out of the crowd, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes when he looked at Mo Duan on the ground.

"Uncle Wang, do you know this person?" asked someone in the crowd who knew the old man.

"I don't know, but I've seen him a few times, and the first time I saw him was three days ago in the early morning, when I came to the park for morning exercises, so I got up early, and then I saw a person lying on a chair, and I thought it was a tourist and didn't pay attention. But then I saw him lying in a chair the next day, and I went over and looked at him, and from the looks I thought he was a homeless man or a beggar, and I didn't pay attention. Later, on the third day, I saw that he was more pitiful, so I wanted to give him some money, but I didn't expect him to refuse directly, and laughed that he had money to eat, not a beggar. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Wang paused, saw that everyone was listening carefully, paused and continued to speak: "Later, I continued to observe him for a while, and found that he didn't eat a bite of food for a day. At this time, the sadness in Uncle Wang's eyes became even stronger, and many of the onlookers showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and the crowd became even quieter.

"So, this young man, as far as I can deduce, has not eaten for at least three days, and slept in the park every day, and although I don't know what he has been through, he is a good man, and God should not have done this to him. After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the crowd.

There was a commotion in the crowd at first, but looking at Mo Xuan, who had already died on the ground, there was silence again.

Even the doctor who was cold just now was solemnly carrying Mo Duan on the stretcher.

Looking at the ambulance in the distance, everyone dispersed with all kinds of complicated feelings, believing that today's events will make many people unforgettable.

In today's society where everything has a price, heroes are priceless. It's like a myth that you know it's not credible, but you're willing to believe it.
