Chapter 456 Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't know what this little girl was doing.

He actually slipped out from the balcony's security window. If he fell from this height, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

He saw that the little girl was only about 5 years old. If she got injured at such a young age, her life would be ruined.

Without thinking too much, he instinctively ran towards the house, looking like a cheetah.

In just a few breaths, he arrived downstairs of the houses, which were all old houses.

The water pipes are all external, so Qin Yuan didn't hesitate at all and climbed up directly along the iron pipes at a very fast speed.

If he looked like a cheetah when he was running just now, then he looked like a monkey when he was climbing the water pipe now.

Not only was his movement agile, but it was also extremely fast. In less than 5 seconds, he had climbed to the third floor.

Then he grabbed the edge of the balcony with both hands and used the strength of his hands to pull his body closer to the little girl.

The reason why we didn't try to remove the security windows was that they were rusted in many places.

He didn't dare to grab it rashly. If he was too heavy and pulled it down, he would be doomed.

The little girl was crying loudly at this moment, and because she had been peeling for a while, she was almost reaching her limit.

Her fingers were gradually loosening, and it looked like she would fall down soon.

At this critical moment, Qin Yuan immediately reached out and held one of her feet, then pushed it up.

The little girl was short, and that was why she was able to slip out from the bars of the security window.

So she is pushing up now, and she can also be pushed back to the balcony.

And sure enough, with his help, the little girl climbed back easily and the crisis was resolved.

"Big brother, thank you!" The little girl cried and bowed to Qin Yuan to express her gratitude. She looked very polite.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan leaned on the balcony and said with a smile: "No need to thank me, but you are not allowed to play on the security window in the future. Do you hear me? This is very dangerous."

"I wasn't playing. I was trying to hang out clothes and then I accidentally fell down." The little girl said timidly.

"Why are you, a little girl, hanging clothes? You should be less than 6 years old?" Qin Yuan asked curiously when he heard the little girl say that.

"Well, I'm six years old. I saw that my grandma was working hard, so I wanted to help her with some work." The little girl said very obediently.

"What about your parents?" Qin Yuan asked casually.

"I don't have a father or a mother." The little girl clasped her hands together and lowered her head. She looked very inferior, as if she had done something wrong.

Hearing the little girl say this, Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Wait for me, I'll go down first!"

Qin Yuan said this and slid down the water pipe again, landing safely in just a few seconds.

The moment he landed, a burst of cheers rang out, coming from the people who were watching the excitement around him.

The scene of him climbing the water pipe to save the little girl was naturally captured by the people around him.

"Young man, you are awesome. Today is all thanks to you! Otherwise, the little girl would be in danger."

"Yes! That little girl was lucky to meet you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"I don't know where the child's parents are. How could they leave such a young child at home in the middle of the night?"

"That's right. The irresponsible parents almost killed the child. Fortunately, he met this young man."

"That's Old Lady Liu's child, her name is Liu Xiaoting. Xiaoting was abandoned by her parents when she was young, and was adopted by Old Lady Liu who lived alone."

“Old Lady Liu was also a pitiful person. When she was young, she encountered a famine and her parents starved to death, leaving her alone to survive.

She got married in her youth, but was unable to get pregnant due to health problems, and her husband eventually left her.

When she reached middle age, she got married again, and she thought she would live a relatively stable life from then on.

But God played a huge joke on her. Her husband went out to work in a mine, and the mine collapsed, killing him.

From then on, she lived alone and never got married again.

The house she lives in now was given to her as compensation by her husband's company, and it has been more than 40 years now."

"Yes! Old Mrs. Liu's life was really rough. At her old age, she still has to take care of a child. It's too difficult."

"In order to make a living, Old Lady Liu goes to the neighborhood to pick up bottles every night. I guess she is going to pick up bottles this time!"

"It's hard for an old man in his 70s to take care of a little girl."

"Mrs. Liu has always been kindhearted, and everyone knows her difficulties, so the neighbors around her usually help her a little.

But I didn't expect something like this to happen today. Fortunately, there is this young man, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Yes! Young man, you are awesome! You are Xiaoting's lifesaver! We, the neighbors, would like to thank you on Xiaoting's behalf!"

A group of people surrounded Qin Yuan and spoke gratefully, expressing their immense gratitude to Qin Yuan.

As he listened to their words, Qin Yuan's expression became more and more complicated.

Although he had learned from the little girl that she had no parents, he had never imagined that the little girl's fate would be so rough.

Abandoned by his parents when he was young, he was adopted by a 70-year-old man who had no children or grandchildren because of family financial difficulties.

She also needs to go out to pick up bottles and sell them for money every night, so it’s no wonder that the little girl would want to help her grandmother with housework.

After learning about the little girl's life experience, Qin Yuan felt that he needed to do something, although he was not a good man.

But since he had encountered such a thing, he would always feel unjustified if he didn't do something within his ability.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately said to the uncles and aunts surrounding him: "Uncles and aunts, this is what I should do. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye."

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the reactions of the group of uncles and aunts around him.

Then he walked quickly towards the little girl's home, knocked on the door, and stated his identity.

After a while, the little girl opened the door. She had wiped away her tears and there was still laundry foam on her little hands.

Apparently she had started doing the laundry again while he was downstairs.

As the saying goes, children from poor families grow up early, and this is vividly reflected in the girl in front of me named Xiaoting.

"What's your name, little sister?" Qin Yuan asked knowingly.

"Hello, big brother, my name is Liu Xiaoting." The little girl said in a childish voice.

Although her voice is childish, her behavior is extremely mature, which is obviously influenced by her original family.

Living in an extremely poor environment since childhood, a person's character will instinctively become inferior.

It is precisely because of this that children from poor families generally have particularly strong self-esteem. The reason why it is strong is that they have low self-esteem from the bottom of their hearts.

Only when you reach a certain age and are able to create your own wealth with your own hands, will this inferiority complex gradually diminish.

The little girl in front of me is less than six years old. At her age, she should be living a carefree life like a little fairy.

But now, at such a young age, she has to take on some of the housework at home.

To be honest, seeing such a scene, Qin Yuan felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.

Because even as a rural child, he had never done housework at this age.

"Is there no one at home?" Qin Yuan looked around the room and found that it was very small. The entire room was less than 40 square meters.

This is including the kitchen and bathroom. If we only count the living area, it will be even smaller.

But the small room was filled with various paper boxes and water bottles.

Obviously these paper boxes and water bottles were picked up by the little girl's grandmother, who probably sold them to make a living.

The little girl shook her head and said, "My grandma went out to pick up bottles and left me alone at home, but she will be back soon."

Just as the little girl finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open.

Then an old man with a dog hugging his body walked in anxiously.

When she saw that Xiaoting was safe and sound, she immediately hugged Xiaoting tightly, and then quickly looked at Xiaoting's physical condition.

"Xiaoting, it's all grandma's fault. I shouldn't have left you alone at home. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Old Mrs. Liu had obviously learned what had happened from her neighbors.

"Grandma, I'm fine. This big brother saved me." Xiaoting pointed at Qin Yuan who was standing next to her and said.

At this time, Old Lady Liu's eyes immediately moved to Qin Yuan, and then she said with great gratitude: "Thank you, young man, thank you so much. The neighbors all told me that if you hadn't been there just now, Xiao Ting would have been in great danger."

"Grandma, it's just a small favor from me. Besides, Xiaoting will be fine even without me. The neighbors around are all helping." Qin Yuan said very modestly.

In fact, what he said was true. Before he even got there, a group of neighbors around had already launched a rescue operation.

Some called the police, some pulled the blankets, and several young men also tried to climb up the stairs, but they failed.

But no matter what, the people around were not all just watching, they also made efforts.

Especially those who pulled blankets to save people. In Qin Yuan's opinion, that was the most effective way to save people at the moment.

At the very least it can reduce the impact of the little girl falling to the ground, which may really save her life.

"I will thank all the neighbors around me one by one when the time comes, but right now the person I should thank the most is you, young man."

"Okay, old man, I have received your thanks, and the child's safety is more important than anything else.

Don’t ever let Xiaoting stay at home alone again. She is still young and can’t take care of herself.”

"Well, I have no choice. I am a 70-year-old woman who usually does cleaning work and earns 1500 yuan a month.

This little money was really tight, so I picked up some cardboard and water bottles to sell.

I am too old and I don’t know when I will pass away. I will feel sorry for this child when the time comes.

So I want to save some money for her, so that when I am gone, she will have some money to live on.”

"Grandma, you won't, you won't leave." When Xiaoting heard Grandma Liu say that she was leaving, she immediately burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm talking about the future! There's still a long, long time to come! But we have to prepare in advance, right?"

Old Mrs. Liu wiped Xiaoting's tears and comforted her.

Listening to their conversation, Qin Yuan felt more and more upset. Ninety percent of the suffering in the world is caused by poverty.

Although this sentence is not very pleasant to hear, it is extremely true. To put it bluntly, the biggest disease in this world is poverty!

Isn’t the reason why Old Lady Liu is worried about Xiaoting because her family is poor and cannot provide security for Xiaoting’s future?
In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, which is to provide financial assistance.

Generally speaking, Qin Yuan always helps others by following the principle of "it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish".

But he couldn't teach the grandparents and grandchildren how to fish. How could he expect to teach an old lady in her 70s how to make money?

As for Xiaoting, there is no need to say more. She is still in kindergarten and can't even fish!

So in this situation, the best way is to directly fund them.

At least until Xiaoting comes of age, they don't have to worry about living expenses.

With this thought in mind, Qin Yuan said directly: "Grandma, I was able to save Xiao Ting today, which means that she and I are destined to be together.

In this case, I will support her living expenses in the future! Give me your bank card number.

I will give you 2000 yuan a month until Xiaoting reaches adulthood, and then you don’t have to worry so much.”

"What! How can this be so embarrassing!" When Old Lady Liu heard Qin Yuan say that he wanted to sponsor Xiaoting, her eyes were full of disbelief.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. The fact that I was able to meet you today is a fate destined by God.

Besides, 2000 yuan a month is nothing to me, and I feel honored to be able to use it to help people in need."

"Thank you for your kindness, young man, but we can't take your money. Your money didn't come from the wind!"

"It's okay, 2000 yuan is really nothing to me. You are old, you should rest at home.

This way your health will improve and you can spend more time with Xiaoting, right? I think you also want to see Xiaoting grow up, right? "

"I hope so, of course I hope so. If possible, I would like to see Xiaoting get married and have children in the future!"

"Then you, old man, need to rest well and take good care of yourself, so I need to give you this money."

"Xiaoting, you should know where your grandma's bank card is, right? Go get it for your brother.

You don't want your grandma to work so hard, right? " Seeing that the old lady couldn't be persuaded, Qin Yuan looked at Xiao Ting.

Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Xiao Ting nodded immediately and said, "I know, it's in the drawer in the room. Grandma asked me to remember where the bank card is every day, and she also told me the password!"

"Haha, okay, go get it." Qin Yuan winked at the little girl.

After hearing Qin Yuan's words, Xiaoting immediately ran to get her bank card. She didn't understand anything else. After all, she was just a child.

In her opinion, as long as she took the bank card, her grandmother would not have to work so hard, so there was no reason for her not to take it.

Just when Xiaoting went to get her bank card, suddenly footsteps were heard from outside the room.

At the same time, there were a lot of noisy voices.

"Comrade police officer, the young man should be here."
