The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Zhao Shao and Wang Shi set out from the town and continued on their journey.

As they moved forward, they saw more and more victims.

Zhao Shao thought to himself, since I have the ability to help, I will do my best to help others!

This is just as He's mother once said - do as much good as you can.

However, the food he had left on him was only enough to sustain his own livelihood.

Despite this, when Zhao Shao took out another steamed bun and handed it to the lifeless girl in the eyes of the famine-stricken girl, he still whispered comfortingly:

"Little brother, you must be strong and live on."

The little girl looked like she had fled from somewhere. Her face was covered in dust, her lips were rough from chapped skin, her hair was disheveled like an exploded ball, and she was as thin as a small child.

Hearing Zhao Shao's words, she raised her head slightly and said with gratitude:

"Big brother, thank you for the steamed buns."

Then she added:

"Big brother, I'm not the little brother, I'm the little sister."

"So, little sister, where are your family members?"

Zhao Shao looked at the thin little girl in front of him, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He gently reached out his hand, ruffled the girl's messy hair, and asked with eyes full of curiosity and concern.

When the little girl heard Zhao Shao's question, she suddenly stopped chewing the steamed bun.

She raised her head, her eyes flickered, and she stammered, as if she wanted to say something, but seemed to have some difficulties that were difficult to express.

Just then, a drunk man who was about the same height as Wang Shi came staggering towards them.

Before anyone could react, he rushed forward and snatched the remaining steamed bun from the little girl's hand.

The man didn't care at all whether the steamed bun was clean or not. After getting it, he just smelled it casually and then swallowed it down in a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shao was immediately filled with anger.

He widened his eyes, pointed at the drunk man and shouted:

"who are you?

How dare you be so rude and unreasonable as to steal a little girl's things!"

The little girl whose bun was snatched away trembled with fear, squatted down immediately, and hugged her head tightly with both hands, sobbing softly, and kept muttering:

"Don't hit me...don't hit me..."

It looks like this isn't the first time this drunk man has behaved like this.

Faced with Zhao Shao's questioning, the drunk man seemed unconcerned.

He responded with a drunken breath:

"Humph!

Just because I am her father and I raised her with great difficulty.

Is it wrong to eat a few of her steamed buns now?"

After saying this, he raised his chin provocatively towards Zhao Shao.

Zhao Shao angrily retorted: (◣_◢)

"Are you worthy of being his father?"

The drunk man saw Zhao Shao caring about the girl so much and said sarcastically: U???U

"I'm not worthy, so are you?

Oh, I get it. You want to keep this bitch?

How about this? Give me three silver notes, and from now on, she's yours. You can be her father if you want!"

Zhao Shao angrily rebuked:

"How can you say such casual and mean words?

She is your own flesh and blood, isn't she?"

“Will you buy it or not?

If you don't want to buy it, get out of here!"

The drunk man reeked of alcohol and roared viciously.

Before he finished speaking, he roughly grabbed the hand of the little girl who was sobbing softly and pretended to take her away.

Zhao Shao was extremely confused at this time, because he only had a silver note in his pocket, and this silver note was saved for him by his mother who lived frugally.

Even if he took out this only silver note, it would probably be far from enough to pay the required expenses.

At this moment, the drunk man passed by Zhao Shao, glanced at him with disdain, and sneered: (＾＿?)

"Oh, look at how poor you are!

If you don't have money, don't mess around here and don't make yourself miserable! "

As the poor little girl passed by Zhao Shao, she looked up at him with tearful and pleading eyes, and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Big brother, please save me..."

Her lonely and helpless appearance is really heartbreaking.

Zhao Shao turned his head away with difficulty, he really couldn't bear to look at the poor little girl.

He could hear the little girl's sad cries, begging him to help her, but Zhao Shao, who was short of money, could only clench his fists helplessly and hit the hard and cold stone bricks beside him to vent his inner anger and unwillingness.

Wang Shi, who was standing by, also felt sorry for the little girl. He originally planned to donate money generously to save the little girl.

However, when he reached for the purse at his waist, he found only two thin silver bills inside.

This was the little money they had left. If they gave it all away, it would be unknown whether he and Zhao Shao could successfully leave the town and get out of the ten-mile radius.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Shi had no choice but to persuade Zhao Shao:

"Brother Zhao, listen to me, it's better for us not to interfere in this matter.

You should know very well that we still have a long way to go!

If we can't help but lend a hand when we encounter similar situations along the way, just think about it, how far can we go?

Although this little girl is indeed pitiful and I really hope to help her, we must put the overall situation first!"

Zhao Shao, his hands stained with blood and trembling slightly, slowly lowered his waving fists. A trace of pity and helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he said softly:

"But I really can't suppress the anger in my heart!

That's his biological father, how could he be so cruel and do such a cruel thing to his own daughter, doing such an unforgivable thing?"

His voice was filled with grief, indignation, and unwillingness, as if he wanted to vent all the injustices in the world.

Wang Shi shook his head and said:

"You still have too little experience.

When you live another ten years, you will understand that anything can happen in a chaotic society. There is no crime that this society cannot commit, except what you cannot imagine.

Just take a look at the road ahead and don't meddle in other people's business. Even if you do, it will only add to your regrets like the little girl.

Just walk peacefully and mind your own business, okay?"

Zhao Shao agreed, "I understand, Brother Wang."

On the way out of town, Zhao Shao was still brooding over the little girl's incident, so he followed Wang Shi's advice and decided to stop helping anyone and focus on his own business...

However, along the way, more miserable people kept appearing. Although the two of them felt sorry for them, they had no choice but to move forward...

This was why Wang Shi wanted to get rid of Zhao Shao as soon as he got home. He was afraid that Zhao Shao would find out about his family life and glare at him, and then they would keep their distance and never have the chance to talk happily again...
