My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I woke up from the stinky sewer pipe.

It was already noon on the second day.

But I have a terrible headache.

And I also have a fever and feel unwell all over.

Perhaps I caught a chill last night, or perhaps I got sick because the environment was too dirty and smelly.

all in all.

After I woke up, I glanced towards the depths of the pipe.

The beggar who was inside last night is no longer there.

I don't know where he went.

But I am very grateful to him for letting me stay here for one night last night.

I carefully folded the old, dirty sheets and placed them on top of his belongings.

Then he limped and crawled outside.

When I came out of the pipe, it was already midday sun.

The sunlight was glaring, and the air was very hot.

But my body felt ice-cold.

I was pale, my lips were pale, and I felt incredibly thirsty.

At the same time, I was freezing cold and shivering uncontrollably.

I know I'm really sick.

I should go to the hospital to see a doctor at this time.

But I had no money on me.

Ever since Gu Yao sent me to the reformatory.

I never carry any money with me.

Gu Yao paid for all my food, drink, and other expenses.

But last night, I didn't listen to Gu Yao, so Gu Yao left angrily.

I gave a bitter smile to myself: "Gu Yao must be completely disappointed in me."

Then I found a tree and leaned against it.

Maybe it's because I look uncomfortable.

A little girl passing by.

She was about seven or eight years old, very cute, and holding a piece of bread in her hand.

Perhaps she noticed my gaze falling on her bread.

She said to the woman next to her, "Mom! Look how pitiful this beggar is! Can I give him my bread?"

The woman glanced at me, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

But she still said, "Okay, it's good that the baby is kind-hearted. You can give the bread to the beggar."

The little girl gave me the bread.

I nodded gratefully to her and said, "Thank you, little one."

My stomach was growling with hunger.

The other person gave me bread, and I accepted it.

After I watched the little girl and her mother leave.

I'm going to open the bread to fill my stomach.

And just as I was about to take my first bite.

Someone was quick-witted and snatched the bread from my hand in an instant.

I looked up in surprise.

But in front of him was a man with a buzz cut and a tiger tattoo on his arm.

He slammed the bread onto the ground with a menacing expression.

Then I stomped on it a few times.

The bread, which was originally clean, suddenly became dirty and deflated.

Anger surged within me.

"What are you doing? Why are you throwing my bread on the ground and stomping on it!"

The tattooed man wore a classic thug smile.

Behind him were three blond-haired thugs just like him.

The tattooed man said, "The boss said we should beat you up every time we see you, until you get completely out of this city!"

I was both shocked and angry, and immediately asked the other party.

"Who is your boss?"

The tattooed man chuckled: "We have professional ethics, and we would never betray the boss's information."

Just then, the tattooed man's phone rang.

He took out his phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Hey! Good afternoon, Mr. Zhao! Yes, yes, I'm working right now as you instructed! Don't worry, we guarantee we'll get this beggar out of Jiangcheng within a day!"

After the tattooed man finished his phone call.

I already guessed who their boss was.

I said, "Your boss is Zhao Ming, right?"

The words fell.

The tattooed man's expression changed, and he glared angrily at the three blond-haired thugs behind him.

He stepped forward and slapped each of them across the face!

The three blond-haired thugs were stunned by the beating.

"Big brother! Why did you suddenly hit us?!"

The tattooed man said angrily, "It must have been the three of you who blurted out the boss's name! Otherwise, how would he know that our boss is Zhao Ming?"

The three blond-haired thugs were also extremely aggrieved.

"Big brother! We didn't say that!"

"That's exactly what you said on the phone just now..."

The tattooed man glared angrily.

"You dare talk back!"

Just as the tattooed man was teaching his three blond thugs a lesson.

I had already silently picked up the bread from the ground.

This bread is my food for the whole day.

Even though it got dirty from being stepped on, you can still eat it after peeling off the outer skin and blowing on the inside.

"Big brother! Look!"

"What are you looking at!"

He's gone!

The tattooed man turned around and saw that I had already quietly left with the bread.

He yelled from behind, "Hey! Stop right there! Did I say you could leave? Where are you going!"

where to go?

I don't know where I can go.

Perhaps we'll just keep walking aimlessly forward.

Perhaps this is how I will become a homeless beggar.

But now I have a headache, body aches, and I'm shivering with cold.

I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

I might die in the next second.

The tattooed man saw that I wasn't obeying his orders.

He ran angrily toward me.

Then he kicked me in the back with a flying kick.

Caught off guard, I bumped into the railing by the river.

His upper body fell over the other side of the fence.

I lost my grip on the bread and it flew out of my hand.

The tattooed man was terrified when he saw this.

He originally wanted to kick me and teach me a lesson.

But I never expected this.

His kick sent me flying straight into the river.

Fortunately, the river was not deep, and I fell onto the sloping embankment along the river.

But my head hit the stone slab.

Fresh blood gushed out uncontrollably.

The tattooed man and three blond-haired thugs were peering down from the fence.

"Big brother! How could you kill him?"

"I don't want to either!"

The tattooed man turned pale with fright: "I just wanted to kick him and teach him a lesson! Who would have thought he was so weak that I could kick him down with just one kick?"

"Brother! He's bleeding, and he's lying motionless in the river. Is he going to die?!"

The tattooed man's lips trembled: "No way, right?"

He glanced around.

"There are no cameras here, and nobody saw me kick him!"

"Let's run away quickly, lest we be discovered!"

After saying that, the tattooed man and his three blond-haired henchmen ran away in a flash.

Half of my body was submerged in the water, and my upper body was struggling to hold onto the embankment.

The blood on my head wouldn't stop flowing, blurring my vision.

"My head hurts so much, is there anyone who can help me?"

I cried out for help weakly, but my voice was too soft for anyone to hear.

In the end, the pain gradually blurred my consciousness.

My mind slowly began to wander, and I gradually closed my eyes.

In the end, I didn't even have the strength to hold onto the shore.

"Lu Yi, are you really going to die this time?"

I thought bitterly to myself.

“Lu Yi, even if you die, no one will care about your death.”

"Aunt Gu might feel sad."

"The person you've wronged the most in your life is Aunt Gu..."

I let go of his hand and let myself fall into the river.

He closed his eyes again and lost consciousness.
