Chapter 99: Longing for Life

After coming out of Liangji Restaurant, he turned around to go back to Yaoxiangju to continue working. If Master sees new clothes to wear tomorrow, he will be even more happy like a child. It seems that their identities have been confused. Gardenia is a disciple and grandson, and she is also a caretaker.

His person, King Yao, is a master and an innocent child.

The fall of night has not reduced the number of pedestrians on the street. This is the case in border towns. People may prefer to go out at night. When passing by the bun shop, I was startled by a sudden loud shout. I looked sideways and saw 178

The 6-year-old little beggar was kneeling in front of the fat boss, kowtowing.

"Boss, I beg you, give me two buns. I will repay your kindness by working as a cow or a horse in my next life." The little beggar cried, but it did not arouse the hidden sympathy of the fat boss.

"Get out of here, I'm a businessman, and I'm not running a charity. You come here every day to ask me, do I still want to do business?" The boss said unhappily, then turned and entered the house.

More and more people were watching the excitement, whispering to each other in small groups, some blaming the boss, some accusing the little beggar of being ignorant, but no one was willing to stand up.

After a while, I saw a woman in plain clothes lifting the beggar up, patting the dust on his body, and wiping away the unnecessary tears on his childish face. Her gentle movements were like the child's mother.

"Boss, please bring ten buns." He took out the money and handed it to the boss. The boss politely picked up ten buns, wrapped them and handed them to Gardenia.

There is no excitement to watch, the onlookers disperse, you go your way, I go mine, maybe within five steps you can still reflect on what happened just now. After a while, who will remember what happened here tomorrow?

She handed him the bun and said, "Go home quickly."

"Wow——." The little beggar suddenly burst into tears after taking the bun. He knelt on the ground and said, "Kind sister, please save my mother, she is about to die of illness."

She frowned slightly and helped the little beggar up. This poor child was luckier than him. At least he could face what was about to happen. What did he know? He had to bear all this pain at such a young age. How could God bear it?

"Take your sister to see your mother." A simple sentence, but the little beggar was so happy that he pulled Gardenia and ran. His desire for endless life was clearly reflected on his young face.

This is a remote and messy yard, and everything in the messy yard shows that no one has cleaned it up for a long time.

After entering the door, I saw the trembling candlelight dimming every corner of the house, and the pungent smell almost made people breathless. On a simple wooden bed, a woman as thin as a bone stood.

, lying with her eyes closed, a single sheet covering her body.

He hurriedly opened the window to let fresh air into the room, flicked the wick of the lamp, and the room suddenly became brighter. He took off the cloak and put it aside, and felt his breath - weak, and checked his pulse - it seemed to be there but not there, and his complexion was sallow.

, her lips were bloodless, pale and cracked, indicating that she must have been seriously injured.

She opened the sheet and searched carefully, and finally found the wound on the sole of her left foot. The wound had already thickened and festered. I believed her leg must be unconscious now. She pinched it carefully and felt something foreign in the palm of her hand.

I had to take it out quickly. I looked at the little beggar standing at the door, holding a bun, and said, "Is there hot water?"

"Yes, I can't get food, so I feed my mother water every day." The childish voice recalled that if you want to describe their life, poverty cannot be used.

"Go bring a basin of hot water to my sister."

After a while, the little beggar brought hot water. Looking at his worried expression, Gardenia smiled and comforted him: "You are hungry, go outside to eat steamed buns. When you are full, your mother's sister will treat her illness."

alright."
