Fortune Teller.

Chapter 175
"Xiaodao is a little friend of ours. He is only 12 years old. He is ill. He doesn't know what it is. He has a high fever and talks nonsense. We don't have the money to send him to the hospital. He is about to die..." the eyes of the little beggar It was flushed red, and tears kept flowing, "Great kind man, please save him, okay? Please!"

Shi De stretched out his hand to help the little beggar and the big beggar: "Get up, take me there to have a look. What's your name?"

"My name is Erxiao." The little beggar said timidly.

"My name is Big One." The big beggar rubbed his hands, looked down at his toes, and didn't dare to look directly at Shi De.

"Come on, Er Xiao, big one, get in the car." Shi De stretched out his hand to open the door and let the two of them get in the car, "Take me to see the knife, hurry up."

"But, but our bodies are very dirty and will stain your car..." The two hesitated and dared not take a step forward.

"It doesn't matter, no matter how good a car is, it's just a car and a tool. In front of people, a car will never be noble. Get in the car!" Shi Er ordered the two of them in an orderly tone, and he saw the kind side of their nature. .

The two got into the car and looked around, looking very fresh and curious.Shi De ignored the strange stares of the people around him and their pointing, and immediately started the car: "Tell me how to get there."

If it had been before, Shi De would not have wasted time for the two beggars. He still had a lot of things to do, and it was just when he was very busy. Just now, he hesitated for a moment, thinking whether to arrange for Xiao Mu Chen or one of Zeng Dengke's people went to help Xiao Dao, he didn't need to do it himself, after all, he still had to meet with Li Sanjiang to discuss the start of construction of Huimin Community, and planned to meet Mu Jinnian again , to implement the investment matters of Sanxing Village Botanical Garden, etc., there are a lot of things.

At the same time, we must always be on guard against Du Qingxuan's next counterattack. It is said that Du Qingxuan has come to Shancheng in person, so there is no doubt that Du Qingxuan must not be reconciled to the failure of capturing Yuan Yuan in the first battle. He must have a second shot.Also, Du Qingxuan might attack him at any time, Master He also said that it is best for him to stay in Fang Waiju in the near future.

However, after a little hesitation, Shi De suddenly made up his mind. Since some things happened to him, they were his business. Why should others do it for him?Only by doing it yourself can you best cultivate your compassion and equanimity.

Under the command of Er Xiao and Da, Shi De drove all the way north, left the urban area, passed the North Second Ring Road, and came to a desolate wasteland. cement pipe.I don't know which year or which project left over the building materials, piled up together, and became a paradise for street children and beggars.

In every concrete pipe, there is almost one beggar living—there are beggars and street children. Shi Shi only counted them, and there are as many as 30 to [-] people.

Surrounding the cement pipes was wild grass as high as half a person, and beyond that was a forest.When the autumn wind blows, the howling of the wind through the woods and the rustling of the weeds make the cement pipe house extremely desolate.

Shi De felt sad for a while, remembering that when he was a child, because he was taken care of by his stepmother, he would not become a street child like them.She also thought of Biyou being abandoned by her parents, and wondered if she had such an experience in her childhood.If so, her deep-seated hatred for her parents is understandable.

As soon as Shi De arrived, a dozen or so street children sprang out of the cement pipe suddenly—the children were still naturally curious and imaginative, while a few elderly beggars just watched lazily. After Shi De took one look, he turned over and fell asleep again—surrounding Shi De, the second little one, and the big one.

"My name is Shi De, you can just call me Brother Shi." Shi De saw more than a dozen street children. Although their clothes were torn and their faces were filthy, each pair of big eyes was full of yearning for beauty. And their vision for the future, their innocence is still kind, and they have not been honed into cynicism and hard-heartedness by the suffering of life.

"Brother Shi..."

"Brother Shi..."

The street children scrambled to surround Shi De, as if Shi De was their closest relative.Surrounded by the crowd, led by the second young man and the big man, Shi De saw the dying knife in a filthy cement pipe.

Due to malnutrition, the 12-year-old Xiaodao is short in stature at first glance, just like a seven or eight-year-old child. He is skinny and skinny. It has become a scab, which is unbearable to watch.

Xiaodao lay on his side inside the concrete pipe, like a crumbling leaf in the autumn wind. There was a puddle of clotted blood on his chest, and on the dry grass under his body, besides blood stains, there was also a large mass of vomit.When the wind blows, the smell is unbearable and disgusting.

The small knife curled up in a ball is like a dying oil lamp, with only a glimmer of life left, and it may extinguish the flame of life at any time.He is only 12 years old, and 12 years old is the time when he is enjoying family happiness under his parents' knees, but he is wandering in the world, like a rootless duckweed, who will be driven into the bottom of the water by the waves of life at any time.

"How long have you been sick?" Shi De reached out to touch Xiaodao's forehead, which was terribly hot.

"It's been a lot of days." The second little one may be younger than the big one, but he is more eloquent and courageous than the big one, "At first we helped him get food and some medicine, but later he became ill. It's getting worse and worse, throwing up whatever you eat. There's nothing you can do about it. The big man remembered that you gave him ten yuan when he was begging for food. Also, you have given money to several of us here, and as long as We will give you when we meet, we think you are the most benevolent person in Single City, only you can save Xiao Dao, I have been trying to find you these days, I have been looking for many days, and today I finally found you..."

"Cough, cough..." Xiaodao coughed violently again, curled up his whole body, tightly grasping a handful of hay with his thin hands, the veins on his hands popped, "I, I, am I going to die soon? "

The hoarse voice was weak, like the sound of a mosquito, and Shi felt a sudden pain in his heart. It was too late for the ambulance to pick up the knife. He leaned over to pick up the knife, and told Er Xiao: "Second Xiao, open the car door, I will take the knife Go to the hospital."

Er Xiao quickly opened the rear door, Shi De put the knife, which weighed only [-] jin, on the back seat, and let Er Xiao and the older one get in the car: "Get in the car too, and go to the hospital with me, hurry up. "

"Yeah." The second little one and the big one looked at each other, and were overjoyed at the same time. Seeing that Shi De was about to help Xiaodao heal his illness without a second thought, they heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and stopped Shi De's car this time, although it was a bit dangerous , but at last the bet was right.I remembered that they had stopped many rich people's cars before, and no one helped them. The best time was when they dropped 50 yuan. Most of the time, they would be scolded and even kicked a few times.

Shi De went back on the same road and walked halfway. He saw the knife behind the car coughing one after another, and vomited a puddle of blood on the car. He was so anxious that he immediately called Huang Suqin: "Suqin, I'm here There is a patient who needs first aid, you can help me open up a life channel."

"What's the patient? What's the disease? How important is it to you?" Huang Suqin just wanted to ask the question clearly.

Shi De doesn't have this patience now, and shouted: "Can you help? If not, I will go directly to the dean! Patients are very important to me!"

Huang Suqin was taken aback by Shi De's shout, and immediately became honest: "What's so fierce? Help, of course I helped. If you don't help me, who else should I help..."

Shi De didn't wait for her to finish, he hung up the phone directly, and then called Xiao Muchen again: "Muchen, you go to the garbage dump on the North Second Ring Road, yes, after passing the overpass on the North Second Ring Road About one kilometer to the north, there are dozens of concrete pipes, where there are dozens of street children, you should find a way to resettle them first. My initial idea is to apply for land from the city in the future to build an orphanage dedicated to Take in street children. Okay, let’s do that first, I’m going to the hospital right away, there is a street child who is seriously ill and needs emergency treatment.”

"Brother Shi, we don't want to go to the orphanage..." Second Xiao heard Shi De's phone call and said to Shi De, "The people in the orphanage always beat people, and several of us ran out of the orphanage. .”

Shi De’s heart is heavy. The country’s starting point for building orphanages is very good, but when it comes to the staff, because of lack of love and quality, many street children are abused and tortured. , It is also a concrete manifestation of the lack of faith and lack of dedication and dedication of the Chinese people.

Shi De turned around and said kindly to Er Xiao: "Second Xiao, don't be afraid. If Brother Shi builds an orphanage, there will definitely not be any beatings and scolding. They will treat you as relatives. If anyone dares to beat and scold you, I will The first to spare them!"

"Really, Brother Shi?" Er Xiao was surprised.

"I don't believe it." Different from what the second little lively said, the big one kept a straight face, even when Shi was busy saving the knife, he was indifferent, and sometimes even looked at Shi coldly from the sidelines. De's every move seems to think that Shi De is just acting.

The older one is not a few years older than Er Xiao, but he seems to be much more ruthless than Er Xiaojian. He sneered, "The rich are all bad people. If they are not bad, they can't make money. People in orphanages, too. Their hearts are broken, they think we are dirty, they think we are ignorant, besides beating and scolding us, they just make fun of us and humiliate us."

Seeing the hatred on the big man's face from the rearview mirror, Shi De felt helpless. Also, some realities in society are indeed painful. I have to say that both the political and business circles lack the due sense of social responsibility!
