What to Do if You Look Too Fierce

Gently stretched out his hand and helped the old man to sit up, in his dodging eyes with some inferiority, Aokisi generously patted the stain on his back: "Those stinky boys are young, but their hearts are poisonous. Very, young people nowadays really don't understand it."

"Thank you...Thank you." The old man sat leaning against the wall, took off his hat, his silver-white hair was sticky on his face, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

Aokis squatted on the ground and smiled at him: "Nothing to thank, how is your health, did they not hurt you just now?"

The old man sighed and shook his head: "It's fine... I'm fine."

Seeing his yellow face and thin skin, Aokisi asked softly, "Have you eaten dinner tonight?"

"Not yet... not yet." The old man lowered his head, his voice trembling.

Aoki patted the dirt on his shoulder and smiled at him: "Then wait for me, I'll buy you something to eat."

"No, no need!" The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Aokisi's clothes, and when he saw him stop, he quickly released it, for fear that his hands would stain his clothes: "I have something to eat, it's okay."

Aoki just smiled: "It's okay, I'll buy you some bread, you won't be spoiled if you eat it tomorrow morning."

Before the old man refused, Aoki trotted out.

The old man stayed where he was, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he thought for a long time with a complicated expression, as if he was making an important decision. Finally, he sighed and made up his mind.

After a while, Aokis trotted back and handed the bag containing the bread and mineral water to the old man: "Goodbye then, I pass by here almost every day to go home. If there is any difficulty, I can do it at about four in the afternoon. Wait for me here when I order, I will definitely help if I can."

He's not really a Virgin, but he just feels that he doesn't have to worry about food and drink now, and he can help with whatever he can, and it doesn't take much trouble.

The old man looked at Aokisi about to leave, and suddenly said: "That... boy, can you come with me, I have something to ask you, can you?"

Aoki was stunned for a while, and glanced at the time on his phone. Today, he was in the Kendo Club for a short time, but he still had about an hour to spare, so he quickly said: "Okay, where are you going?"

The old man stood up tremblingly, and limped to lead the way in the alley: "Come with me..."

Chapter 74 Good intentions are rewarded

What should a homeless home look like?

Aoki didn't know much about it before, but he didn't know it until now.

A remote open space is full of messy and dilapidated tents, and in the center, a bonfire using an iron box as an oven is roaring.

The old man led Aokisi around the tents and came to a shabby tent.

Someone probably didn't want to throw the tent outside. Not only did it look dirty, but there was a hole in the side, and it was blocked with a piece of black lacquer cloth, which presumably could only block the light. Bar.

There were still a few homeless people in the camp who were relying on the fire to keep warm. When they saw Aokisi, they withdrew their eyes in fear, and even felt a little worried—many delinquent teenagers took pleasure in bullying them.

The homeless old man raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was recalling something: "When I was young, my father was a very famous local doctor. And I was his only son. At that time, I was really stupid, only I know that I will do everything against my father. He wants me to study medicine, and I choose to study finance. He wants me to be careful to leave a way for myself in everything, but I prefer to leave no room for anything."

"Until [-], when my father passed away, I inherited all his inheritance." The old man sighed, his eyes filled with remorse: "The real estate speculation and stock market boom at that time really made my eyes red and my brain become red. No sense at all."

"I invested all my money in stocks, real estate, but I still couldn't hold back my greed. Facing the soaring house prices and stocks, I began to borrow money to continue investing, making more and more money, but the money I invested More..." The old man smiled wryly and shook his head: "In the ensuing bubble economy era, stock prices and house prices began to plummet, and all the things in my hands continued to depreciate. I sold all my property and could not repay my debts. In the end, Choose bankruptcy."

"After bankruptcy and liquidation, I have nothing, so I can only embark on the road of wandering." The old man looked at the ancient book, and his eyes were red with shame: "These years, it is not that there is no chance to get rid of this predicament, but I still I couldn't grasp it, and in the end I had to watch the opportunity slip away..."

The old man closed his eyes in remorse, and a row of turbid tears streamed down his old cheeks: "For a person like me, maybe I am to blame for this kind of life. I can't even find who I should hate, only one day. Another day of living in this terrible reality, waiting for the day it will end."

"Sorry, maybe I said too much, these things should be boring to you, but it's just that I haven't chatted with anyone for a long time, and I can't stop talking about it..." The old man wiped his tears and looked at With Aokisi.

"How could it be?" Director Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes clear: "I have learned a lot from the old gentleman's story. I will cherish the opportunities I face more and be more cautious about my actions, the old gentleman's story. I will remember it well and remind myself all the time.”

The old man was stunned for a while, and then he showed a faint smile: "Thank you... In today's society, there are still young people like you, it's great. I can also trust you with this matter, no need to worry about it. I'm worried..."

Aoki frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Come with me." The old man first went to the tent to get something he didn't know, and then came out to show Aokisi the way.

After walking not too far, the two stopped at a remote bookstore about two streets away from Aokisi's house.

"Master, it's so early today!" In the bookstore, a young girl with long black hair, neatly cut bangs, snow-white skin, slender and clear eyes, and a little mole under the corner of her left eye smiled at the old man Say hello.

"It's Liuli..." The old man smiled and nodded to her.

Wugeng Liuli frowned and looked at the indifferent Aokisi behind the old man, and cautiously huddled behind the bookstore counter, not daring to look directly at Aokisi.He quietly took out his mobile phone in his hand and made up his mind that if Aokisi dared to bully the old man, he would call the police immediately.

The old man took Aokisi into the dark alley beside the bookstore, fumbled a few times from his tattered coat, took out an iron fist that looked very clean, tapped it with his fingers, and called in a hoarse voice. : "Heizi, Baiwei, Natto!"

It was very novel, he just tapped the iron fist, the sound was not too loud, and there were a few dog barks in the complicated alley, and after a while, three dirty puppies ran to the old man.

"This black one is called Kuroko." The old man sat on the ground, rubbing a black puppy, watching it licking his palm, and with a smile he took out the bread that Aoki bought for him from his pocket , broken into small pieces, put into the iron bowl.

"This tail is white, it's called White Tail." The old man touched the other puppy with a black and white body and a white tail and introduced it with a smile.

"The last pug is called Natto." The pug was burying its head in the bowl at this time. Judging from its dirty fur, it was probably all white, and its ears were black. It looked rather simple and honest.

The old man watched them eat bread with their heads down, and his voice was a little sad: "If you can, can you take care of them for me?"

"If they are taken away, they will be euthanized if they are not adopted for a month." The old man sighed: "Only if I feed them here on time, they can hide in the alley and not run around, although it is only a temporary solution. the only way I can do it, the only way to help them.”

"Because there is no money to vaccinate them, the camp does not agree with me to take them there..." The old man said this, raised his head and looked full of expectation: "Can you help me with this?"

Aokisi frowned and nodded slightly, but asked in confusion, "But, why do you want me to do it? Don't you do a good job too, old man?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "No way, the camp will be demolished soon."

"Demolished?" Aokisi's eyes widened.

"Yeah, that place is going to be transformed into a new park. People like us who are wandering around have to choose another place." The old man said helplessly: "If there is a choice, I would rather live with them. together, but..."

"I'm old, and I don't have the strength to support myself, let alone support them." The old man said in a free and easy tone: "At least, with my friends in the camp, maybe someone will collect the body for me when I die. Not allowed."
