Yu Zhi and Cheng Man walked out of the store and came to the girl.

When the little girl saw the two older brothers suddenly appear in front of her, she unconsciously took a step back, her eyes timid, and kept rubbing the rabbit doll in her arms.

When Yu Zhi got closer, he saw that her body was not only covered in dirt from being spread out, but also had many scars on it, which were the marks of being kicked and kicked. The bruises were so obvious on the little girl's thin body.

"Where are your family, little girl?"

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she turned to Yu Zhi for help in a somewhat hesitant manner.

"Grandma, she is sick. I want some money to go back and treat her."

Hearing the little girl's words, Yu Zhi's nose felt sore. Her tears also burned Yu Zhi's heart, making him feel a little bitter.

Poor people all have their own misfortunes, and some misfortunes cannot even be overcome by hard work.

Yu Zhi reached out and touched the little girl's head.

"Take the brothers to see grandma. They may have a way to cure grandma's illness."

When the little girl heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she reached out and grabbed Yu Zhi's little thumb.

The soft touch that only a child could give him enveloped Yu Zhi's heart. But in just a few minutes, the little girl had completely trusted him.

Yu Zhi was just thankful that he had come across the child first, rather than someone with ulterior motives seeing her. Otherwise, the girl's fate would have been extremely tragic.

Yu Zhi and Cheng Man first took the little girl to have a meal in the restaurant, and then followed her footsteps and walked around to an old town nearby.

It was the first time that Yu Zhi had seen such a house. There were no windows, and the dilapidated building had almost all its paint peeling off. It looked shaky.

The little girl took them to the first floor. There was a door, but it didn't have a lock. The little girl pushed it and it opened. There was nothing inside the house, just empty white walls, which could only accommodate people to take shelter from the rain.

There was an unstoppable coughing sound from inside the room. When he heard the door open, he immediately said, "Niuniu is back?"

The old voice was accompanied by a painful and suppressed cough. The little girl ran into the room quickly and placed the food that Yu Zhi and the others had packed on the table beside her.

"Grandma, I met two kind brothers today. They took me out for dinner and said they wanted to treat you."

The little girl stood aside and chattered excitedly, while the old grandmother lying on the hospital bed looked at her, and as she looked, tears fell.

This was the scene Yu Zhi saw when he first walked in. The old lady was stroking the little girl's head reluctantly, with a kind light in her eyes, shining the brightest.

When grandma saw Yu Zhi and Cheng Man, she immediately knew that they were the two kind-hearted people who took the little girl out to dinner.

She struggled to sit up and thank the two of them, but Yu Zhi walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently.

"It's okay, grandma. The child is so young, none of us can bear to see him."

"Yeah, she's still too young. I don't know how she's going to live on her own after I leave."

The old lady's voice was full of bitterness, and her eyes showed the desire and struggle for life, but also helplessness about everything.

"You should go to the hospital first. Maybe the disease is not that serious."

When he saw this pair of grandparents and grandchildren, Yu Zhi had already made up his mind to help them.

In the past, he had no ability and could only see many things, but his current life has given him great confidence. Whether it is Ying Nian or the Wilson family, the financial support has brought him endless convenience.

Yu Zhi called the hospital under Meng Yingnian's company and sent the old lady in.

The little girl was handed over to a female friend whom Cheng Man had a good relationship with in college, and she was asked to clean up the girl and buy her two sets of clothes.

Of course, all the money will be reimbursed by Yu Zhi.

“It’s really tragic.”

Cheng Man sat next to Yu Zhi and sighed.

When they came out of the building just now, they saw many children who looked like the little girl. They were thin and dressed in rags.

Cheng Man used the card given by the Meng family to charge money and bought a lot of food to distribute to these children. However, this was just a drop in the bucket and did not actually solve their fundamental needs.

At this moment, one thing was swirling in my head: how could I truly change the fate of these children? How could I truly redeem them?

Even when he returned to the sculpture room, Yu Zhi was still thinking about these questions.

Looking at the Medusa model that had been built in front of him, Yu Zhi suddenly lost his inspiration.

He suddenly didn't want to create something soulless anymore, he wanted to get something that was truly meaningful.

At this moment, Yu Zhi's inspiration gushed out like a spring.

He could never forget the old lady's complex eyes and expression, which was the humanity that triumphed over all divinity.

In just a few hours, without even meticulously carving, the roughly drawn characters by Yu Zhi were already vivid enough. They were the precious years left behind after truly seeing through the fickleness of the world and the helplessness of all kinds.

In the evening, when Cheng Man came to call Yu Zhi for dinner on time, this was the work he saw.

“Is this the sculpture of the old lady?”

Yu Zhi nodded.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind: sculpture is art, and art is of great value, so why couldn't he design the hard work of the grassroots people into art and give it back to these people?

Just like what Cheng Man said today, what they do is only temporary and cannot help these children forever, but if they have enough channels to support these, can they change the fate of many people?

At this moment, Yu Zhi felt that the sculpture in his hand had greater value and significance. It was no longer an entry for a competition, but instead carried the hopes of many people.

But talking about these things now is just empty talk. The most urgent task now is to ensure that this sculpture can make a splash in the competition and be seen by everyone.

"Cheng Man, I might need to trouble you to bring me food to the dormitory every day. I want to make this work the best it can be."

Cheng Man naturally wouldn't refuse this request. He just needed to make sure Yu Zhi could eat on time and get enough nutrition.

"Then you can create here now, I'll go buy you something to eat."

Having said that, Cheng Man closed the door, allowing Yu Zhi to have more independent space.

Walking on the street, Cheng Man recalled the series of events that happened today, and his understanding of Yu Zhi became deeper.

He always thought that Yu Zhi was a person with a good character, but when encountering today's incident, Cheng Man discovered that Yu Zhi had an even more valuable quality, that is kindness.

Just as Cheng Man was rushing back with the food he had bought for Yu Zhi, his cell phone suddenly rang.

His classmate called him and said that the little girl was crying and couldn't be stopped no matter how much he tried to persuade her, so he asked him to go over and help.

Cheng Man wanted to deliver the meal to Yu Zhi first before rushing over, and he was so hurried that he was sweating profusely.

"What's going on? You won't eat with me?"

Yu Zhi looked at Cheng Man's anxious face, not knowing what had happened.

"That little girl has been crying the whole time. I'm going to check on her now. I hope she doesn't get sick from crying anymore."

Hearing this, Yu Zhi frowned and put down the carving knife in his hand.

"I'll go with you."

Although he really didn't want to delay Yu Zhi's creation, he had such an idea himself and Cheng Man couldn't stop him, so he hurriedly took Yu Zhi to his female classmate.

The little girl can now be said to be completely renewed. She has been washed clean and has changed into a pretty little dress. However, the scars on her body are a bit unsightly and cannot be treated for the time being.

The female classmate stood aside, feeling somewhat helpless. She kept comforting the little girl with her hands and holding her in her arms, but the little girl just closed her eyes and cried.

"What happened?"

Cheng Man quickly ran to the female classmate, took the little girl in his arms, and looked at the familiar person. The little girl stopped crying so hard, but she was still sobbing.

"Just now she kept saying she wanted to go home, and I told her she had to stay with me for a while, and she started crying."

It was also the first time for the female classmate to deal with such a situation. She really didn’t know what to do with her hands and feet. She didn’t know how to communicate with a child of such age.

Seeing the child crying so miserably and fearing that he would get hurt, he hurriedly called Cheng Man.

"Do you miss grandma?"

Yu Zhi squatted beside the little girl, looked at her, nodded, and reached out to rub her head.

"Then how about going to the hospital with your brother to see grandma now?"

Yu Zhi took the little girl from Cheng Man's arms.

He arranged for the little girl's grandmother to be admitted to a hospital not too far from here. The hospital's environment and facilities were also better and suitable for patients to recover and recuperate.

In the afternoon, he received a call from the hospital. The physical examination results showed that everything was normal and there was no major problem. It was just that the elderly were old, and conditions like high blood pressure were common.

In addition, the flu was prevalent during this period, and the old man was not feeling well. In such an accommodation environment, his condition worsened a little.

However, the doctors in that hospital are all world-class, and it is easy for them to deal with such a small problem.

When the little girl heard that she could see her grandmother, she immediately nodded excitedly and hugged Yu Zhi's neck tightly.

Cheng Man and Yu Zhi thanked his female classmate, and Yu Zhi even took out some money and asked Cheng Man to pass it on to his friend.

After all, they took care of the child for a whole day. Even if they didn't make any contribution, they worked hard. Moreover, they are just ordinary college students. It is very good that they can do this.

Yu Zhi carried the little girl to the hospital. Everything here made the child curious and she looked around everywhere.

The old lady was arranged to stay in an independent ward. She had just finished an IV drip and was still in a coma. When the little girl saw her, she did not cry or make a fuss, but quietly walked to her side and leaned her head on her grandmother's body.

Seeing this scene, Yu Zhi felt his eyes a little sore again.

He and Cheng Man turned their heads away, not daring to look at the scene in front of them.

When the attending physician saw Yu Zhi coming in person, he immediately came forward to greet him.

"Young Madam's condition is being treated quite well, but she's old and may need to stay in the hospital for a long time. Also, I think her living environment is probably very poor, which is not conducive to her recovery."

Yu Zhi nodded. Indeed, the house with ventilation on all sides was of no use other than sheltering from the rain. It was difficult for the elderly and children to survive.

Yu Zhi now likes this child from the bottom of his heart, but he cannot decide on such a big matter by himself, so he still needs to discuss the specific matters with Meng Yingnian.

"Let her stay in the hospital and recuperate first. Put her three meals a day on my card. I'll pay for all her expenses."

"Of course not. Young Madam, this hospital is owned by Mr. Meng. You don't need to pay for anything. We will do our best to take good care of this old lady."
