Chapter 32 32. But he seems to mind this kind of "not repaying favors"

After lunch, Babao went to the street to walk mushrooms.I dropped my breakfast into the sewer, was robbed of my bag, and then I told Jin Ling about meeting Liang Sheng. Jin Ling looked at my scratches and complained, Cheng Tianyou told you not to read newspapers while walking on the street.After blaming me, Jin Ling was silent for a while, and she said, Jiang Sheng, have you ever thought that maybe the man you met so many times might not be Liang Sheng at all! I hesitated for a moment, shook my head, and I said, impossible!impossible!He must be! Jinling became more silent, she said, that's good.But I just want to remind you, maybe, he is really not Liang Sheng!As for the little Miangua you mentioned, I plan to find her in a while, I don't think she can be allowed to wander with that brother Hao!I think we should probably send them to orphanages.

I nodded and said, ok, I thought so too. When I sent Jinling out of the flower shop, I saw Xiao Miangua and the little boy standing at the door of the flower shop, looking at the shop with sly eyes, like thieves. When Xiao Miangua saw Jin Ling and I came out, he ran away, but was caught by the boy. The boy returned the bag he grabbed in the morning to me with both hands, and then gestured desperately with both hands in the air. Finally, he bowed deeply to me.Then, he pulled Xiao Miangua over and bowed to me. Little Miangua looked at me timidly, her eyes shone with suspicion, she said softly, I'm sorry, little sister, brother Hao said, I'm sorry.You saved his little Miangua, but he snatched your bag by mistake, sorry.After finishing speaking, Xiao Miangua looked at me eagerly.

Seeing that my eyes were full of doubts, the boy stepped forward, unzipped the bag, and let me see, which meant that he didn't take a penny.However, he couldn't speak, he could only express his meaning with sad eyes and anxious movements. That guilty look, as if he snatched my bag in the morning is a heinous thing. Little Miangua timidly tugged at the corner of my clothes, she was still wearing the big fat clothes.She whispered, Sister, last time brother Hao went to buy cakes for me, he fell and hurt himself... Later, he walked back with great difficulty... But, we were hungry... and had no money to eat... Little Miangua really So hungry... So Brother Hao went to grab the bag... But, little sister, we didn't touch your money... We didn't move...

In Xiao Miangua's incoherent words, I suddenly understood. They are a pair of homeless brother and sister, no money, no food, underage.At that time, the reason why Xiao Miangua appeared in front of me wandering alone on the street was because her brother Hao went to get her food, injured his leg, and hadn't come back for a long time.In fact, I know very well that what Xiao Miangua said about "buying cakes" to eat is likely to be stolen by that boy. At that time, Xiao Miangua was probably starving, so he came out and begged everywhere. Later, met us. Later, when the young man returned home, he couldn't see Xiao Miangua, so he looked around. Finally, he saw Xiao Miangua playing with Bei Xiaowu and the others again on the street, and quietly led her back home.

Now, they are facing hunger again. When Xiao Miangua told him, "Brother Hao, I'm hungry", he could only drag his injured leg and do the only thing he could do. That is to steal or rob. Or, he has been begging, but no one would believe him; he may have asked the owner of the food stall to give his little squash a fried dough stick, but no one gave him alms. He probably knew that his legs were not good and he couldn't run fast, so he was very likely to be caught and beaten again. But this kind of knowledge is not worth Xiao Miangua's words: Brother Hao, I'm hungry.

However, after he succeeded in snatching my bag, he learned from Xiao Miangua that I was the one who kindly took her in. Therefore, this young man, facing the hungry little Miangua, faced his own hungry stomach, and in the end, he didn't buy food from the money in the bag, even if the feeling of hunger penetrated to the marrow. Although, he is just a little mute, just a wandering teenager in the lower class, and although his beloved sister is already tearing up from hunger, he seems to mind this kind of "not repaying favors", and even more mind that he accidentally snatched my bag .So, he bowed desperately, trying to ask my forgiveness.

I looked at him, at the tearful little Miangua leaning against him, and my thoughts suddenly drifted far away. I remembered that many years ago, there was such a little girl who relied on a little boy.She would suck her fingers and say to him, brother, Jiang Sheng is hungry.Then, the little boy called brother would step on the bench and make boiled noodles for the little girl. boiled noodles. What else? maltose. Braised pork. Wild jujube from Weijiaping. ... elder brother. Jiang Sheng is hungry. elder brother. Jiang Sheng really missed you. That afternoon, Jinling and I took Xiao Miangua and the young man to eat in front of the food stall. Xiao Miangua was holding the bowl and gobbling it all the time. The boy just watched Xiao Miangua eating, and finally bowed his head silently. , eat in silence.

I knew that he must be feeling distressed, just like Liang Sheng at that time, feeling distressed that Jiang Sheng couldn't eat a poached egg. At that moment, I suddenly made a decision. I told the boy, Wang Hao, from now on, I will take care of your sister and you. Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Miangua, and then at the bowl of noodles in front of him, without making a sound. Jinling quietly told me, Jiang Sheng, don't worry, these street children are very wary of anyone.Although Wang Hao is grateful to you, it does not mean that he will trust you.And, haven't you noticed?This kind of children are very sensitive, and they are very concerned about whether they are "given out", especially the little dumb like Wang Hao, they are more sensitive.So, let's take our time.

I nod.
