Chapter 76 Encounter

…

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 hard, and a petite figure came into view in a blur.

Jiaojiao was squatting and holding a bowl and feeding 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 waxy voice, "The spoon is too slow to feed, you gulped it down by yourself."

Before Song Dong could react, he subconsciously opened his mouth wide when he heard her words, propped his hands on his head 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 the absence of her brother and sister, 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.

Liu Zhihua settles down for dinner, and when she comes out to the yard, she sees other children playing around the carriage, but Jiaojiao is nowhere to be seen.

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

Quickly stepped forward and hugged Jiaojiao, far 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 full of alertness, and said solemnly: "You wait here, my husband saved you, and 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 returns.

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 were curiously peeking at the door.

…

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. Seeing Engong came back, his face was a little excited, and 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. Hearing that Engong 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 in this dilapidated earthen house, and they still have good intentions to take him in. He has self-knowledge, and he can also see the disgust of others.

It’s been a long time since I wandered and I haven’t bathed and changed clothes. I can smell the bad smell on my body.

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned when he heard this, 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 cupped his fists and said, "Thank you benefactor."

"Hey, he is 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, they could at least cover his body.

Song Dong was covered in wounds. He was beaten up earlier and his body was covered in blood from the wounds. The blood that oozes out has long since dried and stuck to his clothes.

Wang Zhuangzhi sighed again when he saw it, took 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 the black and blue on his skin, and he felt a little more pity in his heart.

During dinner, Qiu Sheng took the initiative to go to the kitchen to serve him a meal, and took the empty bowl made by his mother to fill three pieces of tortilla cakes and brought them over.

Song Dong sat on the mat on the ground and ate, and the Wang family and his family sat on the Kang to eat.

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 is 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 beggar to sleep in the alley at night, went to the hall of charity to beg for food during the day, and inquired about the whereabouts of his family.

As a result, when he was traveling today, he was seen by the evil slave of the rich businessman. He 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.

I thought he was really doomed to die, but 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. 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 way to be king.

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 were as cheap as ants in front of power. He wanted to obtain fame and become a high-ranking official so that he could protect his parents, younger brothers and sisters.

Er Ya 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 shook his head in fright and said: "Sister, elder brother taught you not to kill, and you will be beheaded if you kill someone."

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

Jiaojiao blinked her **** and white eyes, killing people was wrong, but what my sister said seemed to make sense.
