The child was dirty all over, and his face was gray. He was very thin, and it was obvious that he was malnourished. Beside the boy stood a slightly taller child. The child’s hair was a little long, and he looked like the crippled boy’s brother.
The disabled boy knelt on the ground while the brother sang with the microphone.
His brother’s singing was really good.
Seeing this disabled child, Fang Taoran frowned subconsciously.
She had never seen such a dirty child.
It turned out that there were such people who had difficult lives in this world.
For a moment, Fang Taoran seemed to be more sensible. She understood that not every child in this world was as happy as her. She could live a carefree life after being born.
The boy was carrying a bag on his back. There was a piece of paper in front of him with many words written on it. Fang Taoran did not recognize those words. She looked at Qiao Jiusheng in confusion. “Mom, what’s written on it?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “These two children need a sum of money. Their parents passed away in a car accident. The younger brother also lost a leg in the car accident. The older brother is young and can’t support the younger brother, so he can only come out to sell his skills and beg.”
Fang Taoran’s expression turned sorrowful. “This is too pitiful!” Fang Taoran took off her small school bag and took out all her pocket money.
Watching her take out her pocket money, Qiao Jiusheng did not stop her.
Fang Taoran placed all her pocket money into the box in front of them.
The two boys saw six to seven red notes fall into the box.
They were all stunned.
How could there be such a foolish person who actually believed their words? That was just an excuse for them to cheat money! Which fool was it?
Whether it was the child lying on the ground dejectedly or the child standing and singing, they all suddenly looked at Fang Taoran. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, when they saw that the child who handed them the money was a little girl, the two boys were relieved.
Oh, so it was a child.
That was true. In this world, only children would believe their words. The adults were too smart, and the adults were too bad. The adults would not extend a helping hand to them.
“Good luck. Life is too tough. You’ll get through it eventually.” After Fang Taoran said this, she looked at his dumbfounded brother. She smiled brightly at his brother and comforted him. “Don’t be too sad. Look, no matter how much misfortune you have, your brother will always be with you. This is the greatest blessing.”
Fang Taoran then said to his brother, “You have to protect your brother well.” You have to protect your family like my big brother and little brother.
Fang Taoran could not bear to stay any longer, so she turned around and ran to her mother’s side.
The disabled boy stared at the money and was overjoyed. He said to the boy who was singing, “Brother, we don’t have to be beaten today. We won’t be beaten this month. This little fool gave us a lot of money. It’s enough for this month!”
The singing boy did not answer him. He only stared at the back of the little girl who had run away.
How could there be such a pure and kind person in this world?
They were really people from two different worlds.
The boy lowered his head and held the microphone in his hand. He had originally planned to sing Su Rui’s “Yes or No”, but he suddenly changed his mind and sang “Fairytale”.
…
I’m willing to become the angel you love in the fairy tale.
Open your hands and become wings to protect you.
You have to believe, believe that we will be like in fairy tales. Happiness and happiness are the endings…
Fang Taoran looked up at Qiao Jiusheng and said, “Mom, did I do the right thing?”
Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze was complicated.
She touched Fang Taoran’s head and praised her. “You did the right thing.”
“Then when are we going back to the hotel?”
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Fang Taoran sat in the car with Qiao Jiusheng for a long time. Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said, “Sit tight. We’re leaving.” Fang Taoran quickly sat down. Qiao Jiusheng continued driving, but Fang Taoran realized that this was not the way back to the hotel.
Fang Taoran asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Mom, where are we going?” After she said that, she suddenly saw two people in front of her. It was the brothers. The brother carried his disabled brother and walked on the relatively quiet street.
It was already 11 pm, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets.
Qiao Jiusheng’s car followed behind the two of them. It neither overtook nor fell behind them. Fang Taoran asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Mom, why are you following them?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “Next, Mom will bring you to see some bad things. Ran Ran, this world is not that peaceful.”
“Huh?” Fang Taoran did not understand why her mother said such a profound thing to her. She did not speak and watched as the brothers took a few turns and left the city.
Qiao Jiusheng also stopped the car and made a call. Fang Taoran heard someone on the phone saying, “I’m ready. I’m about to close the net.”
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jiusheng got Fang Taoran out of the car.
Fang Taoran was held by Qiao Jiusheng. The mother and daughter walked along a gloomy and dark path before arriving at a small village in the suburbs that was almost demolished. Both of their footsteps were very light, and Qiao Jiusheng followed behind the two children.
Fang Taoran realized that her mother might be doing something very dangerous, so she did not dare to speak rashly. Even her footsteps became lighter.
In front, the big boy carrying the disabled boy suddenly frowned.
He did not stop but looked behind him.
It was that mother and daughter…
How bold.
He had lived in this area for too long and was sensitive to things that happened here. He knew that the mother and daughter were following behind him. He hoped that the mother and daughter would bring them salvation, but he was afraid of implicating them.
The boy was conflicted.
He hesitated for a long time before deciding to chase the mother and daughter away.
He could not harm them!
It was not that no one had tried to save them in the past few years, but the reporter who wanted to save them was secretly killed by their boss. This time, it was a mother and daughter. If their boss discovered them, they would definitely be in danger.
Gritting his teeth, the boy put the disabled boy down.
He suddenly turned around and took a few steps back. He stood in front of a bush and looked at it. Even though he could not see clearly, he knew that the mother and daughter were lying on the grass.
The boy deliberately lowered his voice and said fiercely to Qiao Jiusheng and the rest, “This is not a place for you to come. If you don’t want to die, get lost!”
With that, he left.
After the boy left, Qiao Jiusheng let go of Fang Taoran’s mouth. Fang Taoran exclaimed and asked her mother fearfully, “Mom, are… are they bad people?” Didn’t they say that they were brothers who relied on each other and were only beggars?
