Mu Hewan and Jiang Hao came to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a braised pork, a braised chicken leg, and a few meat buns.
While eating, Mu Hewan saw an old man who was scavenging being chased and beaten by several beggars. The beggars were beating him in the mouth and shouting at the same time.
"You are such a stinky old man, but you still dare to come out and compete with us for territory. People like you should die in the cowshed. Who let you run around?"
Listening to the beggars' description of the old scavenger, Mu Hewan frowned slightly. She knew that in this era, cultural people were described as "stinky old nine", and she had probably guessed the identity of this person.
Mu Hewan turned her head to Jiang Hao, who was sitting next to her. At this time, Jiang Hao was also looking at her, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"I want to help him..."
Mu Hewan watched Jiang Hao speak out her thoughts directly. After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Hao and shook his head at her.
"Now is not the time. If you want to help him, you have to wait until those people leave. If we go out now, those people will think that we are with the bad elements."
When Mu Hewan heard Jiang Hao's words, her frowning brows softened slightly. She could understand what Jiang Hao said, and she could probably understand the thoughts of this era.
Before the light comes, the identities of these people are very sensitive, and contact with them will indeed cause a lot of trouble.
While Mu Hewan and Jiang Hao were eating, they looked thoughtfully at the group of people outside the window. She suddenly felt that the lunch that originally tasted good suddenly became unpalatable.
I don’t know how long it took, but the group of beggars who beat the old man had left. Mu Hewan took out a few dollars and a stack of food stamps from her pocket and handed them to Jiang Hao, telling Jiang Hao to buy some steamed buns while she hurriedly and walked out.
Seeing Mu Hewan walking out alone, Jiang Hao was a little anxious. He quickly walked to the window where he bought food, bought twenty meat buns, and hurriedly chased her out.
The staff of the state-owned hotel looked at Jiang Hao and Mu Hewan's actions and expressed that they couldn't understand. They didn't know why these two young people wanted to help a person who was being beaten.
Mu Hewan came out of the state-owned hotel and helped the old man to a relatively remote alley. The old man looked at Mu Hewan with guarded eyes. He didn't understand why a beautiful and fair girl suddenly helped him.
He couldn't help but wonder if this little girl was a spy sent by the enemy country to succeed in his research.
"Old man, you don't have to look at me so nervously. I just saw that you were being bullied and wanted to help you. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."
After Mu Hewan explained to the old man, the old man not only did not remove the guard in his eyes, but also unconsciously took a step back. He did not believe that anyone would want to contact someone with a bad status like him.
In the village where she was sent, everyone stayed away from him. Trying to fix him up was the best treatment for him.
Thinking of this, the old man became even more wary of Mu Hewan. He balled up his body and refused to communicate with Mu Hewan again.
Seeing the old man like this, Mu Hewan also sighed helplessly. She was not lamenting that the old man's precautions made her feel chilled, but she felt sorry for the harm that this era had caused to the old man.
At this time, Jiang Hao found them. He was holding a cloth bag in his hand. The cloth bag contained hot meat buns. He walked to Mu Hewan and was a little surprised to see such a scene.
When he came here, he was worried that Mu Hewan would be bullied if he came into contact with strangers, but he never expected that such a scene would happen.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hao walked to Mu Hewan and asked with concern. Mu Hewan looked at Jiang Hao and shook her head.
The old man sitting defensively in the corner looked at the actions of Mu Hewan and Jiang Hao, and his whole body trembled unconsciously. There was only one woman before, but now there is another man. He felt that he was real this time. If you can't go back, you will definitely be captured by these two agents.
Mu Hewan gently pulled Jiang Hao's sleeve, took the bag from Jiang Hao's hand, and placed the bag filled with buns next to the old man.
"Old man, we are really not bad people. We just want to help you. We don't want to cause trouble, so we brought you here. We don't want to attack you. You don't have to be afraid."
"Inside the bag is food bought for you. Let's leave first."
After Mu Hewan said that, she pulled Jiang Hao and left quickly. He felt the old man's guard and guessed that the old man's identity was not simple, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.
After Mu Hewan and Jiang Hao left, the old man stood up and observed it. After confirming that they really left, he wanted to escape from here.
After taking two steps forward, he turned back to look at the cloth bag that Mu Hewan placed on the ground. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the cloth bag, and then quickly left this remote alley.
Holding the cold bun in his arms, the old man felt a little complicated. He had experienced too much and couldn't trust anyone at all.
However, there is still a sick wife in the cowshed. If he does not accept the gifts from these two young people, his wife may not be able to survive.
Seeing the old man holding the buns and hurrying away, Mu Hewan and Jiang Hao walked out of another alley, neither of them looking very good.
Mu Hewan felt sorry for the old man's plight, but she was also worried about his condition. She didn't know if he could wait until the light of day.
When Jiang Hao saw this man, he thought about their previous life. He was obviously from a wealthy family, but overnight he became a street rat that everyone yelled at and struggled to survive in the cracks.
Mu Hewan felt something was wrong with Jiang Hao's mood. She held Jiang Hao's hand and looked up at Jiang Hao.
"The darkness will eventually pass, and dawn will come soon. We must be prepared to welcome the dawn. You must believe that our lives will not always be like this."
Mu Hewan's eyes were unusually firm when she spoke. She could not tell Jiang Hao the future development trend, but she would lead Jiang Hao towards the bright future.
Jiang Hao looked at Mu Hewan's bright black eyes, he smiled softly, raised his hand and pinched Mu Hewan's ears, and said in a low and gentle voice: "I believe you, there will be a day of."
The two left the alley and walked to the post office. As soon as they entered the post office, the staff member from the last time saw them and immediately came over to say hello warmly.
"You two came here to send something again? Are you sending it to Beijing this time? I happened to have a registered letter from you here. I just communicated with the courier and told him to send it to you as soon as possible in the afternoon. I didn't expect you. Just came over!"
