I want to be a good person

Zhang Aiguo picked up the tea and took a sip.

This experience is somewhat related to myself. I am not cruel enough. I can be cruel to traitors, to the Japanese invaders, and to corrupt officials. As a common person, I feel really guilty about this.

"What's going to happen to his family?"

"His sister wants to sell herself, the news has been leaked, and she wants 20 dollars"

“Oh, it’s pretty cheap.”

"How can it be cheap? They're 5 yuan each outside, and no one wants to buy them. In times of famine, they're only 3 yuan each."

"Isn't there no famine? Besides, being good-looking can make a living. With the relocation of the capital, all the rich people have fled, and the housing prices have plummeted, becoming increasingly cheap."

“You are quite knowledgeable”

"These are all told by the guests who were drinking tea."

"Sir, it's alright, I'm going to get busy now."

"Go ahead. Oh, by the way, help me make two steamed buns."

"Okay, you're going to take a look."

"It's fate anyway. People should still do good deeds in order to be blessed."

"Mr. Righteous"

After eating, I drank tea and rinsed my mouth.

Zhang Aiguo carried two steamed buns and walked slowly towards Niu Dali's house.

“What do you do?”

There were three thugs squatting at the gate of the yard. When they saw Zhang Aiguo coming over, they stood up and shouted.

"Who the hell are you to meddle in my business?"

"Who are you?"

"You are so bold as to dare to mess with me."

"Sir, I'm so sorry. We are just trying to make a living. Please be merciful. Please be merciful."

"Humph"

"Excuse me, sir. We are from the Black Tiger Gang and have been assigned to guard this place by the police station. You have to say hello so that we can reply and do our duty."

"You can talk, I like it"

"Go on."

A dollar flew over.

"I heard that the little girl wanted to sell herself to save her brother. I came to see what kind of wonderful person she is."

"Hehehe"

The three of them grinned, revealing their big yellow teeth, and their laughter was filled with meanness and ill intentions.

"Master, you have good taste. The little girl is quite pretty."

"Okay, you guys just stay here."

After saying that, he walked inside.

"Fifth brother, is everything okay?"

"Bullshit, how long have you been guarding? I think the second gang leader is not working for the foreigners at all. He wants to get both the house and the people without spending any money. He is also afraid that Niu Dali will cause trouble for him, so he is slowly wasting time."

"The Second Gang Leader can be her grandfather"

"Not surprising, there are so many. Look at his six concubines, aren't they all taken by force?"

"Let's go to the teahouse across the street and have a cup of tea and rest our feet."

"It's okay. We'll go back and tell them later that the little girl has been taken away, so we won't have to suffer this."

Zhang Aiguo knocked on the door and pushed it open. A smell of medicine and mold hit his nose from the two small rooms.

In the dim light, a man was lying on the kang in the main room. He was skin and bones, with bruises all over his body, some of which were scarred, and his face was swollen. A little girl in a patched jacket was feeding him.

Hearing the noise at the door, he turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

“This is Niu Dali’s home.”

“Yes, who are you?”

“Where’s your grandma?”

"I went to pick up waste paper and cigarette butts."

There are many old people who pick up rags in their previous lives. Although their purposes are different, they all live a frugal life and are people who have suffered.

Zhang Aiguo took a look at the chipped ceramic bowl, which contained rice soup and could be used as a bronze mirror.

"Well, I heard that you wanted to save my brother, so I came to see you."

"Oh."

The girl put down the bowl in her hand, stood up and was about to walk out so that she could see more clearly in the bright light.

Unexpectedly, her hand was held tightly by the person on the bed and he was unwilling to let go.

"Brother, be obedient. I'll go get a bowl of water. There's a guest coming."

The man's tears flowed down his sides. At this time, Zhang Aiguo had already walked closer.

“Dali, do you remember me?”

When Niu Dali heard this, light suddenly gathered in his eyes, and there was a glimmer of brightness, which was the desire for life.

"I waited for you for two days, but I didn't see you. I had to leave early for something urgent. I just got off the car and heard that you had an accident, so I came to see you."

"I"

"Don't say anything. I know about your story. The waiter in the teahouse told you. It's because you have no power that it's not surprising that someone took the blame. Fortunately, you saved your life, otherwise you would have died playing hide-and-seek or choked to death while drinking water. There are so many people who have been wrongly accused, and you still want to be a detective. This world is not good."

"Here, little girl, go buy some millet while the gangster at the door is not around."

The reason why only a few petty hooligans and gangsters have made it is because they make money quickly and spend it quickly, have no long-term career plans, and just live one day at a time without thinking about becoming bigger and stronger.

Of course, being a boss requires someone to protect you, otherwise you will become a victim. Wearing black gloves is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Da Li, don't be discouraged. I will pay for your care. You should follow me from now on. You can't stay in Beijing anymore. Let's go."

Niu Dali's tears flowed faster.

He used to complain, hate, and doubt. Later, he found out that all the martial artists were arrested. He had no one to vouch for him, which led to his suffering. In prison, he figured it out. It was all his own fault for hesitating. If, if...

"Don't cry, leave when it gets dark, your sister is being targeted."

Niu Dali's eyes were filled with anger, but unfortunately he couldn't get up.

Zhang Aiguo saw that the patient had internal injuries and would need at least half a year to recover. It was unclear whether he could fully recover, but his lifespan would definitely be shortened.

There was some movement in the yard, and the little girl came back carrying a small cloth bag of rice. Zhang Aiguo only gave her a dozen or so big coins, no more.

"Girl, where is your grandma?"

"It's right next to the station."

'Cook the porridge on low heat and call her back.'

"Um"

"Da Li, have faith. I will definitely spend money on you. We should go to the countryside to recover from our injuries. First, the medicine is cheap, and second, it is convenient to eat tonic food. The doctors in the countryside are also very capable."

After saying that, he took out the bone-breaking pills, which were prepared by Doctor Li himself and also had an exclusive recipe. Before leaving, Zhang Aiguo bought him a mule cart for transportation. The old man was so moved that he gave him the prescription again.

"Here, take this pill."

Zhang Aiguo helped Niu Dali up and tried to find something for him to lean on. The pillow was a piece of hard wood, a torn mat, and the rest was a black piece of cloth.

"this"

It is difficult for ordinary people to have a sense of home in their lives. There is no rice in the rice jar, no corn flour, so where does the smoke and fire come from? There is no rising hot steam.

He put the medicine into his mouth, picked up the rice soup that was big enough for people to watch, and fed Niu Dali a mouthful.

"Did you hit him with a rubber stick or an iron rod?"

"All"

"Damn it, murder and forced confession is intolerable. Isn't this like treating human life as worthless?"

Zhang Aiguo's arrival gave Niu Dali more hope of life. With hope, people will be more energetic.

"They hung me up and beat me, didn't let me sleep, used strong lights to burn me, and threatened me with my family. Later, someone pleaded for me, but I was still beaten several times."

"Don't you have a master?"

"Master? My family originally had some assets, which supported us for a while. I sold my parents' big house, but later we ran out of money, so our family was cut off. This time, you can help me ask someone to intercede for me, which is the greatest blessing. Life is not easy for us, and I can only help you in an emergency, not in poverty."

"You still think clearly."

"There is no way, the poor man's life."

"Brother, grandma and I are back."
