Chapter 1228

Miss Du was surprised and said, "What about your family? Since your arm was injured during the war, no one cares about it, right?"

The beggar stopped talking, and only used his remaining arm to pull off the cloak that Miss Du put on him.

Miss Du sighed, didn't ask him any more, and said, "Why don't you go home with me, you won't be able to survive this winter like this."

The beggar froze for a moment, then shook his head violently.

"It's okay, I'll survive," he said.

This time, Miss Du was very persistent. She said: "Your legs are bad now, and you don't even have the strength to walk. How can you survive? You haven't eaten for a long time, come with me. There are no delicacies from mountains and seas, but there are still some if you are full."

"No, I... I will go home after Chinese New Year..."

"If you have a home, why are you here? Get up and follow me."

Seeing that the snow began to fall again, Miss Du stretched out her hand to grab his arm.

A brocade box emerged from his arms, Miss Du was in a daze.

This brocade box belonged to her. She saw Du Wanqing when he was buried earlier, so she asked Cui Ya to send him a box of pastries.

It turned out that the thing he had been protecting all along, the thing he wanted to protect with all his life, was this brocade box.

"You..." Miss Du looked startled, and suddenly felt a little sore in her nose.

"Is it your baby?"

She had heard people say that this one-armed beggar had a treasure that no one could snatch, and it turned out to be a brocade box.

The beggar picked up the box in a panic and said, "I thought it was pretty, so I kept it."

Miss Du took a deep breath and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, it's just a box. Can it be compared to your life? When they beat you, you just give it to them. Why don't you protect this box even if you risk your life?"

Miss Du squatted down again, took out a clean handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped off the dirt on his face.

"No, don't wipe."

The beggar turned sideways and pushed Miss Du's hand back.

Miss Du's hand was in the air, and she let it go helplessly.

"Then get up and go back with me, and I won't wipe it for you!"

Miss Du didn't dislike his dirty body, and continued to pull his arm.

The beggar shrank to the ground and said, "My leg is hurt and I can't walk. You can't help me. Why don't you go back and find someone. I'll wait for you here."

Miss Du froze, and said, "Are you really going to wait for me here? Why do I feel that you want to dismiss me and run away."

The beggar smiled wryly: "You think too much, my legs really can't walk, I won't run away."

Miss Du was silent for a moment, then stood up, and said, "Well, you wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

"Okay, let's go."

"You must wait, I will be back soon." Miss Du explained again.

"Good!" whispered the beggar.

Miss Du glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the dilapidated house, and quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

When the beggar saw that she had gone far away, he gritted his teeth and stood up against the wall.

He pinned his messy hair back, revealing his face.

Leaning on the wall, he walked out of the house and walked to the other side of the alley.

At the corner, he was almost bumped into by Miss Du who suddenly appeared.

With an angry face, Miss Du said coldly, "Why did you lie to me? Didn't you say you would wait for me?"

The beggar looked at the angry Miss Du in surprise, and forgot to cover his face for a while.
