Chapter 74 Gentle Kicks

Wen Xin lay on the mouth of the trash can.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the beer cans mixed in with a pile of plastic bags.

I was a little excited, but I was not tall enough and my arms were too short. I tried several times but couldn't reach it.

The weather was somewhat gloomy and changeable.

Although the sun was out for a while, it was still a bit chilly.

Passersby were in a hurry to get to work, and no one cared about her behavior.

"Almost..."

"It's just a little bit..."

She gritted her teeth, stood on tiptoes again, and stretched her fingers downwards.

At this time.

But a big hand reached in and grabbed the beer can directly.

Wen Xin was startled, and hurriedly straightened up, looking over there at a loss.

Staring at the jar worth two cents, I felt a little pain in my heart.

When he raised his head and looked at the person who had taken the treasure away, he was stunned for a moment.

"Next time you encounter this kind of situation, just overturn the trash can and get the things first."

A tall, thin young man with short, shaggy hair was speaking.

Then he bent down, picked up the torn sack on the ground, and helped her put the can into the bag.

The treasure was lost and found.

Wen Xin didn't care at all.

She just stared blankly at the young man who suddenly appeared.

Her little face was slightly tense, a little nervous, yet inexplicably happy.

When she was recording her statement at the police station that day, she already knew the name of the person in front of her.

His name is Fang Cheng, Fang means upright and Cheng means honest.

Fang Cheng weighed the bag.

It was light and fluttery, and it was obvious that the harvest from today's scavenging was very small.

So he turned and looked at the little girl standing beside him.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Wen Xin was stunned when she heard this and shook her head hurriedly.

As if afraid of misunderstanding, he nodded quickly.

Fang Cheng smiled:
"I just happened to not eat anything either, how about eating something together?"

As he spoke, he shook the full bag in his hand.

"No, I've already eaten..."

Wen Xin still insisted and shook her head.

The little hands with frostbite were pinching the corner of the clothes, with the head lowered, not daring to look at it for even a second longer.

"Let's go, I bought a lot and I can't finish it."

Seeing how embarrassed she was, Fang Cheng simply picked up the torn sack on the ground and walked forward without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wen Xin had no choice but to twist her hands and follow behind.

Fang Cheng asked for another plastic bag from a nearby store and put the four beef buns and a bag of soy milk together.

Then he pressed it into her hand without giving her a chance to refuse.

The two of them sat in front of the small flower bed next to the tube building.

The golden sunlight shines through the gaps in the dark clouds, shining on our bodies, bringing a little warmth.

Fang Cheng took a bite of the juicy and meaty bun, chewed it continuously in his mouth, and exhaled with satisfaction through his nostrils.

Exercising hard every day and enjoying food to your heart's content, this kind of life is really fulfilling!

It seems that I was infected by the way he eats.

Wen Xin, who was sitting awkwardly on the side, finally couldn't help but put her dirty little hands into the beef buns in the bag.

Fang Cheng smiled when he saw this.

It was obvious that she was really hungry, but she still swallowed in small sips, as if afraid to attract other people's attention.

"Your name is Wen Xin, right?"

"Ah."

Hearing Fang Cheng's question, Wen Xin immediately raised her head, stopped chewing, and looked at him timidly.

Then he seemed to remember something and explained:
"Wen is the gentle Wen, Xin is the happy Xin, not the happy heart."

Fang Cheng smiled:
"I know, it means happiness anyway." Wen Xin looked serious:
"I know your name, too."

Fang Cheng was not surprised.

The girl in front of him moved to Jiuchang Street with her mother, and the house she rented was in the same building as him.

It can be said that from now on, the two of them will be neighbors who see each other every day.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng took a look at her thin and worn clothes and her little face covered in plaster.

At this innocent age, he should be studying in school instead of picking up trash and making a living on his own.

“Apart from your mother, are there other people in your family?
Fang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Wen Xin was continuing to eat carefully.

Hearing this, his shoulders trembled slightly and his body seemed to stiffen.

I saw her lowering her eyes, her gaze fixed on the worn leather shoes that exposed her toes, and tears were faintly visible on her long eyelashes.

Fang Cheng realized that he had said something wrong and stopped asking questions.

Then he gently handed her the soy milk with a straw.

Wen Xin quickly said thank you, but didn't drink it.

She ate only one bun and said she was full.

He looked at Fang Cheng with pleading intent, hoping to take the leftovers back home and have lunch.

Of course Fang Cheng would not refuse, so he stood up and walked towards the tube building with her.

The house that Wen Xin's family rents is located in the basement.

Standing at the door of the corridor and looking down, it was pitch black and it was difficult for sunlight to shine in.

Fang Cheng was just about to say goodbye to her and continued walking upstairs.

But then I heard a loud commotion coming from downstairs, and the sound of someone kicking the iron door.

When Wen Xin heard the voice, she was immediately horrified and stood still.

Fang Cheng also frowned slightly and stopped.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"You stinky cousin, do you think you'll be alright if you join the Three Wolf Gang and hide in a place like this?"

"Brother Sang Biao said that you either have to pay a job-hopping fee of 100,000 yuan, or I will take your daughter away to pay off the debt!"

The shouting was so arrogant and loud that it could almost be heard on the top floor.

Snap!
The incandescent lights in the basement passage were turned on.

The dim light clearly illuminated the three people who were kicking the door and shouting.

It also captured the figures of a young man and a little girl at the entrance.

"What do you do?"

The young man spoke, his eyes fixed on them with unusually bright and sharp eyes.

The three men who looked like gangsters immediately stopped disturbing the neighbors and all looked over.

"Fuck, I haven't even asked you yet, and you're asking us?"

A fat and sturdy man walked towards them, waving his fists.

"This kid looks very arrogant, is he from the Three Wolf Gang?"

The other one had a cigarette in his mouth and squinted his eyes, looking very relaxed and unrestrained.

"From the looks of it, I guess he's letting Dasha test his quality."

The last man was wearing a vest in the middle of winter, revealing his tattooed arms, and holding a dagger in his hand.

It seems that having weapons in hand gives him a bit more arrogance.

Swish!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the dim corridor, and it was like a flash of lightning.

The sturdy man who was waving his fists fell asleep facing the wind with a dull "bang".

The cigarette butt in Brother Xiaosha's mouth was blown out by the wind.

The dagger in the hand of the man with tattooed arms disappeared instantly, and was instead held by his other hand and pressed against his own neck.

The two of them were startled and looked intently.

The young man who had been standing in front of the aisle just now suddenly appeared beside them.

The movement was so fast that it was unbelievable and it was impossible to react.

"Big brother, please don't be impulsive. Be careful not to hurt your brother..."

The man with tattoos on his arms came to his senses and couldn't help but become speechless, his attitude instantly becoming extremely humble.

The cigarette in Brother Xiaosha's mouth fell to the ground and he swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.

I knew I had met a top master today!
