In the city market, Orion's dry firewood sold very quickly. In the afternoon, after he had sold all the dry firewood, he took his money and prepared to go to the grain store to buy the food he would use at home these days.
But when he walked near the market, he heard many people talking about selling his body to bury his father, poor girls, etc.
Originally, the Orion didn't care too much. After all, these things were too far away from him and had nothing to do with him. What he was thinking about was how to spend the money he earned today reasonably to make it enough for him to live.
daily needs.
But gradually, more and more people were talking about this matter, and in the grain store, he also met a neighbor from his village. As soon as the man saw him, he pulled him and walked this way.
As he walked, he said: "There is a lot of excitement today. It's a rare chance for us to catch up. We must go and take a look."
He couldn't resist the man's kindness, so he followed the man here half-heartedly.
When he followed the fellow villager to West Street, many people were already gathered there. At first, no one knew what was going on. Although they were all talking about it, no one could tell what happened.
The whole story. The Orion was originally impatient because it was too lively to be caught by that man all the time. Just when he turned around, his eyes glanced at him, but he was caught by a graceful figure that grabbed all his attention.
The person who attracted all the attention of Orion was the person involved in selling his body to bury his father, that is, the young girl.
Although the girl was lying on the ground crying, her figure still looked so beautiful, her slender waist seemed to be tight, and when the girl lowered her head and cried, her beautiful neck was exposed.
The arc adds a pitiful and poignant feeling to her.
It was that look that made Orion's footsteps that were about to turn around and leave suddenly freeze in place. People's comments kept coming to his ears. Some people said that this girl was pitiful, and she was so downtrodden.
To the extent that some people say that this girl is hateful, she is entangled with that young man.
But these words passed by Orion's ears in a hurry, and all he could think about was the weak girl. Gradually, as he stared at her for longer and longer, the look of sympathy and love in his eyes
, almost overflowing and about to flow out.
If the waiter hadn't squeezed through the crowd and called him here, he would probably still be standing there, staring at the frail figure in front of him. Thinking of this, the hunter couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and his face seemed to be burning.
When he got up, he avoided the eyes of others with some embarrassment and lowered his head slightly, trying to hide his embarrassment.
But in fact, because of Orion’s beard and the fact that he was wearing a bamboo hat, few people around him didn’t notice his condition too much. It’s just that Gong Yu was a little strange. He met him in the mountains in the morning.
When he met Orion, the other party was still cheerful and generous. Why, not long after, when they met again, Orion's attitude was a bit strange. The eldest brother just asked him a casual question. Why, after Orion finished speaking, did he
He flinched a little, and even stopped making eye contact with them.
The Orion's somewhat red face was covered by his beard. Of course Gong Jian did not see it, but he keenly noticed that the Orion's ears and neck turned red. Thinking back to what he had just observed about the Orion,
Looking at the crowd, Gong Jian probably had a suspicion in his mind, but no matter what, he felt it was still necessary to let Orion know the whole story.
So Gong Jian said: "Brother, you have also watched the excitement for a long time. I wonder if you have figured out what happened here on West Street?"
Orion himself felt a little embarrassed. When he heard Gong Jian's question, he instinctively wanted to say that he just came over to see the excitement and didn't pay attention to what happened. He wanted to make himself clear.
But a desire arose in his heart. He wanted to know what happened before and why the girl was crying so sadly. He wanted to find out whether he had the ability to help the poor girl.
So Orion suppressed what he almost blurted out, and instead asked patiently: "This is my little brother, do you know the whole story of what happened before? If you do, please tell me."
Originally, Gong Jian wanted to explain to him what had happened. He looked at his second brother, his fat aunt, and his waiter. They were all resting in the store, and they had just squeezed in from the crowd.
It took a lot of effort to squeeze people in. Although they still diverted part of their attention to observe the progress of things outside, most of their energy was focused on themselves and Orion.
When the fat aunt heard Orion asking about what happened, she immediately came forward, ready to tell Orion what she had seen. As soon as he saw the fat aunt coming up to him, Gong Jian's brows jumped. He was scary.
The fat aunt opened her mouth. If she waited until she opened her mouth to tell what happened, the outside world would probably be over by then. How could he save the prince by then?
So before the fat auntie could speak, Gong Jian had already spoken first, "Here's the thing, as you saw just now, this big brother is in the middle of the crowd mainly because there is a girl who sold her body to bury her father. She is here this afternoon.
Those who came to West Street and the surrounding shopkeepers and neighbors can all attest to this. The girl had been kneeling in the corner of the teahouse door, hoping that someone would spend money to buy her, so that she could use the money from selling herself to bury her.
Father."
As soon as Gong Jian came up, he explained the identity of the crying girl. The tall Orion couldn't help but reveal a kind of pity in his eyes. He didn't expect that this girl's life experience was so miserable. It's no wonder, looking at the girl
At such a young age, she was crying so sadly. It turned out that her family was broken up, and her father was probably the last family member she depended on.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, this girl could not even retain her last relative. In fact, her family should be completely destitute. Otherwise, how could she have gone to West Street to sell herself in order to bury herself?
As for the father, too, what other way can such a weak and miserable little girl have to make money?
Speaking of this, a feeling of love and pity arose in Orion's heart, and he always felt that he should do something. (To be continued)
