...

Song Dong was in a daze, feeling that someone had poured water into his mouth, and the taste was very sweet.

The aching body seemed to be soothed by a burst of warmth, he opened his eyes with effort, and a petite figure came into view in a blur.

Jiaojiao squatted down and took a bowl and fed him water with a spoon. Unexpectedly, he woke up suddenly. His face was covered with black stains, but his eyes were extremely bright.

"You're awake~"

As she spoke, Jiaojiao held the bowl with both hands and handed it to his mouth, and said in a glutinous voice, "The spoon is too slow to feed you, so you gulped it down by yourself."

Before Song Dong could react, he subconsciously opened his mouth wide when he heard her words, propped his head on his hands and drank all the water in the bowl.

Seeing his cooperation, Jiaojiao felt satisfied on Bai Nuo's face, took the bowl and put it aside, taking advantage of her brother and sister's absence, she asked in a low voice, "Why did my father save you?"

Song Dong immediately realized that the benefactor who saved him was the little girl's father. He stood up with difficulty while supporting the ground, and then said hoarsely: "Engong is a good person, I,"

"Jiaojiao?"

When Liu Zhihua's voice came, Jiaojiao hurriedly got up and walked towards the door.

After Liu Zhihua settled down for dinner, she came out to the yard and saw several other children playing around the carriage, but Jiaojiao was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the man sitting with disheveled hair and staring at Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao was two steps away from him, Liu Zhihua was not scared to death.

Quickly stepped forward and hugged Jiaojiao, away from the beggar on the ground, frowning in shock and shouting: "What are you going to do!"

Song Dong hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I never did anything."

Jiaojiao put her arms around Mother's neck, nodded obediently and said, "Mother~ I was talking to him just now."

Even so, Liu Zhihua was still alert, and said seriously: "You wait here, my husband saved you, he will be back in a while."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua walked out the door with Jiaojiao in her arms.

Song Dong held his chest and coughed lightly, but he closed his eyes and said nothing.

It's normal for him to be rejected as an outsider, maybe he won't be able to stay for long when that benefactor comes back.

Erya and the others who were playing in the yard heard that the beggar had woken up, and Liu Zhihua forbade them from approaching, so they lay down at the door and peeked curiously.

...

When Wang Zhuangzhi came back from buying medicine, he heard that the beggar had woken up and went straight into the house.

Liu Zhihua and several children also entered the house.

Song Dong sat on the mat in the ground and didn't move. When he saw Engong coming back, his face was a little excited, so he hurriedly called out: "Engong."

Wang Zhuangzhi was relieved to see him wake up, and was about to speak when Liu Zhihua behind him pushed him.

Naturally, Wang Zhuangzhi knew what his mother was going to say, sighed, took out a few bottles and cans from his arms and put them on the table, he knelt down helplessly and said, "Xiao Lang, you have seen the situation in the town, Now that you are awake, you can keep these medicines yourself, it is too late today, take a rest after dinner, and you will find another way out tomorrow."

Song Dong had guessed this result a long time ago, and when he heard that Engong had bought the medicine, he felt a little warmer in his heart, stood up and kowtowed in gratitude.

"Thank you benefactor, wait for me slowly, I will leave in a while."

Engong's family lives here in a dilapidated earthen house, and they still have good intentions to take him in. He has self-knowledge and can see the disgust of others.

It's been a long time since I wandered without bathing and changing clothes. I can smell the bad smell on my body, and I can live wherever I go, so why bother to trouble the benefactor's family.

Hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi frowned, and hurriedly said: "Today is too late, you are injured, if you faint in the middle of the night, no one else will notice, you can rest here for a night after eating, and you can leave tomorrow."

Song Dong's eyes were red when he heard this, and he said with fists in his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Benedict."

"Hey, he's also a miserable person."

Wang Zhuangzhi sighed, seeing that his clothes were torn and he didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet, so he went back to the house to find some clothes and cloth shoes of his own, although they were bigger, at least they could cover his body.

Song Dong's body was covered with wounds. He was beaten up earlier and his body was covered in blood from the wounds. The blood that oozed out had already stuck to the dried clothes.

Wang Zhuangzhi sighed again, took the scissors and cut it off, and replaced it with Qiusheng's help.

Qiu Sheng also rejected this stranger at first, but during the process of changing his clothes, he saw the wounds and dried blood all over his body, as well as black and blue on his skin, and he felt a little more pity in his heart.

When it was time for dinner, Qiu Sheng took the initiative to go to the kitchen to serve him food, and took three pieces of the corn cakes made by his mother out of an empty bowl and brought them over.

Song Dong sat on the mat on the ground and ate, and the Wang family's family sat on the kang to eat, and it was not a good taste.

Later, Erya Jiaojiao simply sat at the door holding a bowl, while Wang Zhuangzhi sat on a wooden bench on the ground holding a bowl, talking to Song Dong while eating.

During the conversation, I also got a general understanding of his situation. Song Dong was sixteen years old this year. There was a sudden change at home last month. The family left their hometown and prepared to go to Ancheng to seek a living. Scattered to the village.

When he inquired about his family's whereabouts, he met traffickers, who drugged him and then sold him to a wealthy businessman in the town who was obsessed with broken sleeves. Throw it directly into the wild.

He survived by chance, followed the beggars to sleep in the alley at night, went to the charity hall to beg for food during the day, and inquired about the whereabouts of his family.

As a result, when he was going out today, he was seen by the evil slave of the rich businessman, who not only beat him up, but also deliberately pushed him into the road to stop Mr. Zhao's carriage, with the purpose of killing him.

He thought that he was really doomed to die, but in the end he met his benefactor.

After hearing what happened to Song Dong, Liu Zhihua, who was eating on the kang, wiped her tears with her back facing her. It's not easy, and what happened to him is so pitiful, mothers don't want to hear it.

"Alas~" Wang Zhuangzhi suddenly lost his appetite while holding the meal, and today he has seen how rich and powerful people can cover up the sky with one hand, and how they play with human life as a trifling matter, there is no law for kings.

Qiu Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent. He had also encountered a lot of bullying by the big and the small, but what happened to Song Dong gave him a warning. He suddenly felt that the purpose of his study was not to make money. Ordinary people are as cheap as ants in front of power.

Erya poked the rice in the bowl angrily and said, "If it were me who bullied people like this, I would find a kitchen knife and chop them all off."

When Xiao Li heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and said: "Sister, elder brother taught you not to kill people, and those who kill people will be beheaded."

Erya rolled her eyes, and argued rationally: "If you behead your head, you will be beheaded. Whoever asked them to bully me, I would have been beaten to death by him, but they are still alive and well, so they might as well die together."

Jiaojiao's big black and white eyes blinked, it was wrong to kill, but what my sister said seemed to make sense.
