Chapter 99 Take it Home

Lin Hao followed Ah Xing and came under a bridge.

The river was a little dry at this time of year. There were some torn cotton balls piled up in the gap between the bridge and the river bank, and rough curtains woven from straw were hung there.

A boy of five or six years old was lying in the pile of black and yellow rags, motionless.

Lin Hao took a look and his heart ached.

"Little Moon!" Ah Xing ran over, touched the boy's face, and said softly, "Brother is back."

The boy's eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes with difficulty: "Brother, I'm hungry..."

Ah Xing wiped his eyes and took something out from his arms. The color of the handkerchief used to wrap it was no longer recognizable, but Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she saw it.

"Eat quickly." Ah Xing opened the handkerchief, revealing a hard steamed bun.

The sick boy suddenly regained his strength and reached out to grab the steamed bun.

"You can't eat it." Lin Hao stopped him.

Xiaoyueliang was obviously very hungry. She turned a deaf ear to Lin Hao's words and grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

A white hand reached out and gently grasped the boy's delicate wrist.

Little Yueyue was stunned but didn't cry. She held the steamed bun tighter like a vigilant little animal.

"What are you doing!" Ah Xing's face turned black and anger surged in his eyes.

Lin Hao took out an oil-paper bag from the bag on Lin Xiaohua's back and handed it to Ah Xing: "Open it."

Ah Xing took it suspiciously, opened the oil paper package, and inside was a pastry as soft as snow.

Ah Xing's hand trembled, and he used great willpower to restrain the urge to stuff the fragrant pastry into his mouth, and looked at Lin Hao with anticipation.

He is not stupid. The other party took out the pastries at this time, it couldn't be that he was just tempted by them.

"Little Moon, put down the steamed bun and have a piece of cake." Lin Hao said gently.

Before Xiaoyue could react, Ah Xing snatched the hard-as-stone steamed bun from his hand and stuffed the pastry in his hand.

Little Moon didn't bother to speak, just grabbed the cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Lin Hao warned and looked at Ah Xing, "You eat the rest."

Ah Xing swallowed and shook his head.

Lin Hao understood what he meant. He wanted to leave all the pastries for his younger brother.

"There's glutinous rice mixed in the cakes, and Little Moon is sick, so she can't eat too much."

Ah Xing glanced at his brother who was eating voraciously and shook his head.

No matter how hard it is to digest, it is better than cold and hard steamed buns.

Lin Hao glared at him and said, "Eat if I tell you to. Only when you're full and have enough energy can you carry Xiaoyue to the clinic."

Seeing Ah Xing's surprised expression, Lin Hao frowned: "Do you want me to carry you on my back?"

"You want to take my brother to the clinic?" Ah Xing still couldn't believe it.

Lin Hao raised his chin: "Isn't the purse in your hands?"

Ah Xing blushed and grabbed the pastry and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Little Moon had finished eating and was looking at her brother eagerly.

Lin Hao rubbed his head. "After you see the doctor and take the medicine, I'll make you some porridge. Beat an egg into the soft and thick rice porridge, add a little salt and chopped vegetables, okay?"

Little Moon swallowed and nodded vigorously.

Lin Hao felt heavy-hearted, but smiled gently, "Once your stomach is healed, you can have meat porridge and chicken noodle soup."

Ah Xing couldn't help swallowing as he listened.

She has to take her brother to see a doctor and cook porridge and chicken noodle soup for him. What is her purpose?

Ah Xing doesn't believe that there are people in this world who do things without expecting anything in return.

His parents died of illness, and his uncles and aunts could not wait to take over the house and drove him and his younger brother out.

If family members are like this, why should strangers who have nothing to do with them be nice to them?

Or the person whose money he robbed.

"Axing."

The girl's cry brought Ah Xing back to his senses.

"Why are you still standing there? Carry Little Moon on your back."

Although Ah Xing couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen, he still did it.

The worst case scenario is to report him to the police and have him arrested, but he couldn't escape from this girl's clutches anyway, so even if they really wanted to report him to the police, there was nothing they could do.

Little Yueyue was so thin that she was easily picked up by her brother.

Lin Haokan saw this and felt very uncomfortable.

There are so many people in the world who are more miserable than her, such as Axing's brother, who have to use all his strength just to fill his stomach and survive.

After seeing them, I feel that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, it is nothing.

Ah Xing said that the winter was so cold that many beggars froze to death.

Lin Hao's heart moved and an idea came to her mind: she should do something to help more beggars like Xiaoyue survive.

"Axing, do you know where there is a clinic nearby?" Lin Hao was not familiar with this area.

"I know." Ah Xing carried his brother on his back and walked forward with his head down.

Of course he knows.

Ever since his brother fell ill, he had wandered outside the clinic countless times, imagining what it would be like to take his brother into the clinic after receiving the medical fee.

He was too worried and anxious, so when he met this girl with bulging wallets and seemingly defenseless face today, he couldn't help but extend his hand.

I never expected that this was a female devil.

Ah Xing paused, feeling faintly ashamed: If she had no other motives, then she was just a kind-hearted female devil...

"What's wrong?" Lin Hao asked when he saw Ah Xing stop.

Ah Xing looked away: "Nothing. Look, that's the clinic."

The clinic is very close to where the Axing brothers live.

As Ah Xing approached with Xiao Yueliang on his back, he was stopped by the clinic worker: "Stay away, stay away, this is not a place to beg."

"I'm here to see a doctor!" Ah Xing said angrily.

"Axing." The girl's soft voice sounded, "Let's go to another clinic."

Ah Xing looked at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao explained calmly, "They chased people away without even asking. I don't believe the doctors here have any compassion."

Ah Xing nodded, turned around and left.

Two people who were walking towards the clinic heard Lin Hao's words, hesitated for a moment, and left.

Ah Xing looked back at the guy who was so angry that he was jumping up and down and cursing, and suddenly felt very refreshed.

The three of them rushed to another clinic and took Xiaoyue to see a doctor.

Xiaoyueliang didn't have any incurable disease, but she hadn't had enough to eat or wear for a long time, and her body couldn't stand the cold weather. Plus, she had no money to treat the disease, so her condition never got better.

After getting the medicine, Ah Xing carried Xiao Yueliang out.

"You can't live under a bridge. Why don't you just come home with me?"

Ah Xing stopped abruptly, the suspicion in his eyes completely invisible: "What is your purpose?"

Lin Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Purpose, purpose, look at yourself. Is there anything about you that's worth my coveting?"

It's quite difficult to repay a favor.

"Then why did you—"

"Couldn't it be because I've suddenly become kind?" Lin Hao pointed at Little Moon. "Do you have money to stay at an inn or rent a house? Are you even going to live under a bridge with your brother? Then wouldn't the medicine you gave me today be for nothing?"

A series of questions came down, and Ah Xing had no choice but to nod and said in a muffled voice: "I'll go with you."

As long as my brother is fine, it doesn't matter if I sell him.

Standing in front of the general's mansion, Ah Xing looked at Lin Hao blankly.

Is this her home?

The servants of the General's Mansion rushed to report to the old lady: "The second young lady brought back two beggars."
