The Nine-faced Smiling Fox was obviously making fun of this lame little girl, but Chen Cao couldn't get angry, and he couldn't pay for it. The Nine-faced Smiling Fox's plan was simply shameless.
"Sir, please buy one. There is a suitable one. Look!" The little girl picked up a small flower with five-pointed star shapes on the petals and said, "This is a sky full of stars. What an atmosphere.
It suits the gentleman next to me very well!”
Chen Cao's face turned dark and his forehead began to sweat.
"This yellow chrysanthemum is not bad, it symbolizes eternity..."
The little girl introduced it very seriously.
Chen Cao clenched his fingers together, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
"Look, these white chrysanthemums have bloomed. They smell very good...!" The little girl held a blooming chrysanthemum reluctantly.
Chen Cao's face was already ashen, and the nine-faced smiling fox was laughing so hard. Knowing that the joke was enough, he took out two dollars from his body with a heavy breath, handed it to the little girl, and said: "Okay, spend the money."
I don’t want it anymore, just take it!”
"How...how can this be done!" The girl looked extremely uneasy when she heard this, but she took the two dollars from the Nine-Faced Smiling Fox.
"What!" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox was extremely unhappy. Although two dollars was not enough to sell flowers, it was a reward.
Chen Cao also raised his head, looked at the little girl, and at the same time glared at the Nine-faced Smiling Fox, obviously dissatisfied with the joke just now.
"Sir, my business must be worth 10 US dollars, otherwise I won't be able to pay the tax!" The little girl looked at the guard box not far away in horror, where two policemen were staring at the little girl intentionally or unintentionally.
.
"The so-called protection fee before tax!" Chen Cao finally understood what was going on. He also looked at the policeman at the post.
"Hey, man, don't be like this!" Jiu Mian smiled and took out ten dollars. He didn't think the little girl was blackmailing, but the two policemen were blackmailing him. He believed that if the little girl didn't complete the business,
, she is in trouble.
"Thank you, sir, here are your two dollars!" The little girl was so grateful that she handed the two dollars to the nine-faced smiling fox. At the same time, she took out a bouquet of flowers from the flower basket and handed it to him.
When Mianxiaohu took the two dollars she had just given seriously, she thanked her again and then limped away.
"Let's go, enough jokes, go back!" Chen Cao stood up.
"Don't worry, aren't we here to have some fun?" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox also stood up. He was speaking to Chen Cao, but his eyes were glanced at the lame little girl.
"We are not saviors, we have to go to you!" Chen Cao said, turned around and left the table.
At night, there are overgrown grass everywhere, and there are sparse lights on in front of a straw shed made of gravel.
"Rachel, your income is good today!" came a boy's voice from inside the hay shed.
"Yeah, Harry, today a rich gentleman gave me ten dollars, which happened to pay taxes and protection fees. We still have one dollar left, and I bought instant noodles...!" The voice sounded like the lame flower seller.
Legs girl.
"Ah, the seasoning smells so good. It's a pity that I didn't make much money today, not even before tax!" The boy named Harry sounded a little lonely.
Rachel's voice came from the hut and seemed very thin: "Then let's eat quickly. When we are full, the beating will not hurt anymore!"
"Well...come and let me have some, and you can have some...!" The two children began to eat the instant noodles.
Chen Cao, who was not far away, knew very well that if the two children did not complete the task, they would be beaten severely by the boss who came back later. He glanced at the Nine-faced Smiling Fox and saw that although there was a smile on his face,
The color of the eyes is getting darker and darker.
"We can save him temporarily, but we cannot save him forever!" Chen Cao looked at the Nine-faced Smiling Fox and continued: "Perhaps, allowing them to maintain this way of life can help them live a few more years!"
The nine-faced smiling fox said nothing, but looked at Chen Cao and said, "Then what do you mean by following them? Do you think they are pitiful?"
Chen Cao didn't answer. To be honest, he would definitely be tempted to take action later.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, a man walked over holding an ice cube on his forehead and got directly into the hay shed.
"It's him!" Chen Cao thought of the white man who was taught a lesson today.
"You two little bastards, are you going to get me this little money today? Don't you know I have a date today... How dare you eat noodles here again... Bang Dang..."
Apparently the bowl they were cooking noodles in was kicked over by the white man, and then there was the sound of a belt beating against flesh. Strangely, the girl named Rachel and the boy Harry didn't make any sound, but let the belt hit them.
on them.
Although he couldn't see the situation, Chen Cao could feel it. He tightened his fists, but the Nine-faced Laughing Fox firmly held his shoulders and shook his head seriously.
Chen Cao endured it.
Ten minutes had passed, and the sounds of men lashing out and cursing were still coming intermittently, and Harry and Rachel finally couldn't help but let out painful moans and pleas.
The man seemed to have no intention of stopping. Chen Cao and Jiu Mian Xiaohu knew very well that he was venting the anger in their hearts today.
Finally, Rachel began to beg and call out: "Mr. Eberwood, forget it for today. Harry is still having a fever. I still have ten dollars. I saved them for you since you haven't come back these days. All of them."
Can I give it to you?"
Pa... After the man whipped the belt again, he stopped and cursed: "You little beasts that no one wants. If you don't beat them, you just don't know what's wrong. So much rice has been fed in vain these years, especially yours."
Little blind man, look at Rachel, if you don’t get me two hundred dollars back tomorrow, I’ll beat you to death, forget it today, hum..."
Following the sound, the white man named Eberwood walked out of the hut, nodded the money in his hand, put it in his pocket, touched the bag on his forehead and walked out.
Chen Cao's palms were already covered in sweat. If he had known this earlier, he should have let Rodney kill this unscrupulous guy.
When Ebo Wu walked away, the nine-faced smiling fox said to Chen Cao: "Let's go see our little guys first!" After that, he stood up and walked towards the hay shed.
Chen Cao didn't understand what the nine-faced smiling fox was going to do, so he followed him.
"Harry, how are you!" When Chen and Cao walked to the entrance of the hay shed, a lame girl named Rachel was holding a ragged little boy and crying.
The little boy's face was red, there were some bruises, and he was in a daze. It was obvious that Eberwood's whipping of him was only secondary, and he was still running a fever.
"He already has a high fever. If he doesn't take antipyretic medicine, he won't be able to survive it. I have medicine here!" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox reached out and took out his survival cloth bag, took out a tablet, and threw it away. He looked like this
This move was simply impossible in Chen Cao's eyes. This was a life-saving thing, and he, who had always been greedy for money, gave it to two little beggars like this.
"Sir..." Rachel hesitated for a moment and did not pick up the pills.
"Don't worry, he already has a high fever. He ate instant noodles again, which made the fever worse. If he doesn't take medicine, he won't survive tomorrow!" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox said seriously as he had suppressed his smile.
"Okay!" Rachel gritted her teeth and chose to believe it. She broke open the pills and put them into Harry's boy's mouth. Then she took out a can that someone else had used and poured it into Harry's mouth.
The pills were delivered.
"This is a special medicine. The fever will subside in two hours. Let him take a hot bath!" The nine-faced smiling fox sat on the floor. There was really no place for them to sit here.
"Sir, why are you so nice to me!" After a while, Rachel noticed that after Harry took the pills, his forehead cooled down quickly, and she began to believe what the nine-faced smiling fox said.
The nine-faced smiling fox resumed its smile, and said to Rachel, who looked childish but doubtful, "Your name is Rachel?"
"Well, his name is Harry!" Rachel replied sincerely, pointing to Harry who was sleeping in a corner of the mat.
"I've seen that man hit you just now, but I can guess what happened even if I didn't listen to your story, so I just want to ask you a question?"
"Sir, tell me!" Rachel said with her big eyes flashing. Chen Cao looked in his eyes and his heart trembled slightly. If not here, she should be an angel like his daughter Wendy.
"Do you hate the man who beats you?" Jiu Mianxiaohu asked softly.
"I...?" Rachel said half a sentence, looked at the nine-faced smiling fox warily, and finally nodded slightly. Indeed, she had no reason not to hate him.
"Okay then, the last question is, if it were you who were in charge of your current life, would you be able to continue to persevere?" Nine-faced Laughing Fox continued to ask.
Chen Cao has begun to have some idea of what the Nine-faced Laughing Fox is going to do.
Rachel nodded firmly this time and said: "Yes, actually, the most important thing is the police. I can earn about a hundred dollars every day by getting rid of my capital, and Harry can earn a hundred dollars by begging under the overpass.
Sometimes it’s more. The tax money we pay to the police is fifty dollars. If you add the cigarette money, it’s seventy dollars, but all the money has to be given to Mr. Eberwood, so..." Rachel said
Sometimes, his eyes were a little indifferent.
"Okay, you mean that without Eberwood, you can save 80 US dollars every day, right?" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox seemed to be very patient in helping Rachel settle the accounts.
"Yes!" Rachel answered blankly as she didn't understand what the tall and kind-hearted gentleman in front of her was doing.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking, don't worry!" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox stood up, patted his butt, and said to Chen Cao: "Man, just wait here, I'll be back soon!"
"Do you want to kill Ebo Wu?" Chen Cao also stood up and looked at the Nine-faced Smiling Fox.
"Of course not...how can I kill people casually!" The Nine-faced Smiling Fox blinked meaningfully and mysteriously.
From his smile, Chen Cao felt a cold murderous intention, which was obviously a signal to kill.
"No, I have to follow you. We still have a mission. Don't make a big mess. We won't be able to escape by then!" At this time, Chen Cao was calmer than the Nine-faced Smiling Fox.
"Then let's go!" The nine-faced smiling fox gave Chen Cao a smile and turned around and walked out of the hut.
