Someone sighed and said, "The old man is already dying. There's no point in saving him and it's a waste of money. It's better to just wait until he dies and bury him."
The boy choked up, "Please! Please! My grandfather can still be saved, he can still be saved! I will pay back the hospital bill, a hundred times over!"
A sarcastic woman sneered, "Tsk, you're such a boaster, but who would believe you?"
Another woman's voice rang out.
"Cao Cao, don't hate me. Everyone knows that treating the old man is a waste of money. Life is not easy for everyone. People will die when they get old."
Others also came to give some advice, and the general message was: we can't save him, there's nothing we can do to help him, so he should just take care of himself.
Hua Wanchi curiously slipped into the yard and mingled with the crowd of onlookers.
Looking at people's sympathetic expressions but their unwillingness to help, I suddenly felt despair for the boy.
Alas, logically speaking, these neighbors have no obligation to help, but looking at the boy they just feel pity for him.
Hua Wanchi originally thought that there were many tragic things in this world, and this time it just happened to happen and had nothing to do with her, but she still felt a little sympathy.
She took out a handful of melon seeds, shared some with the aunt next to her, and asked curiously:
"I was just passing by and saw it was quite lively here. What happened?"
The aunt took the melon seeds and said without even looking at the people next to her:
"Hey, when this kid's father was around, he took over his grandfather's job, but when the old man became useless, he was kicked out by his son.
Isn't this the child's mother gone? The child's father married another and had a son. You know, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather!"
"Oh~" Hua Wanchi was a little curious, "And then?"
The aunt sneered: "The child's father got his comeuppance and died! As a result, the child's life is even more difficult. Fortunately, his grandfather is still willing to take care of him. Isn't the old man sick now?
The child has a conscience and is asking everyone to lend him money so he can take his grandfather to the hospital for treatment."
Hua Wanchi: "I think everyone seems unhappy about this?"
My aunt sighed, "Alas, everyone is struggling, and no one has an easy life.
His stepmother doesn't care about him, so how can he make money? Whoever helps him is paying him back! It's not certain whether the old man can be rescued! "
"Oh," Hua Wanchi said sympathetically, "how pitiful."
My aunt agreed: "Who says it's not?"
An old man with gray hair came out with a look of pity on his face, stuffed a few dimes into Cao Cao's hand, sighed, and said:
"Grandpa Zhao doesn't have much money, so take these."
Cao Cao shed tears and shook her head:
"No, that's not necessary. Grandpa Zhao, you don't have much money on you. Just save this. You need it for yourself."
Hua Wanchi looked at it and shook his head, saying that this boy was too unfortunate.
But this is not something she can control. If she didn't want to get merit points and gratitude points, she would not be willing to help.
The puppet she transformed into was a strong-looking young man. She controlled the puppet to walk in front of Cao Cao and said:
"Can you show me your grandfather?"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Cao Cao's eyes, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
He led his men into a cramped hut, which was very small and contained only a bed made of wooden boards and a small cabinet.
An old man lying on the bed was breathing weakly.
Hua Wanchi asked: "Can you carry the old man?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "I can do it!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Go to the hospital!"
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness!"
Cao Cao quickly carried the old man on his back and followed Hua Wanchi out of the compound.
When the old man was sent to the hospital, the medical staff were stunned.
"He's already in this state, and you're just sending him to the hospital? What's going on in your family?"
After some rescue, the old man was sent to the ward.
The doctor and Cao Cao said something, but Hua Wanchi didn't listen. However, she could clearly see that Cao Cao looked a little depressed.
"Gratitude +4, Merit +1."
The old man happened to wake up at this time. He seemed to know what Hua Wanchi had done, and tears from the corners of his eyes flowed horizontally onto the pillow.
A weak voice sounded: "Thank you..."
Hua Wanchi felt a little pity again, but soon his heart hardened again.
She looked away and walked out of the ward, said a quick goodbye, and prepared to leave.
Alas, I can’t watch it anymore. If I watch it again, I will feel soft-hearted.
In fact, she had already softened her heart and left some brown sugar.
She was able to help with more, but it was beyond the limit of what a stranger could do.
Just don’t listen or watch, everyone has his own destiny.
As soon as I walked out of the hospital door, Cao Cao caught up with me.
"My benefactor! Wait a moment!"
Hua Wanchi turned around and asked gently, "Is there anything else?"
He took something out of his pocket, clenched his fist tightly, and handed it to Hua Wanchi.
Then he looked around.
"My benefactor... this is the only thing I can offer. It's very dangerous, don't let anyone find out!"
Hua Wanchi felt the touch in her hand, a warm chain-like object that felt like a necklace, with a block-like object on it that felt cool.
Her heart skipped a beat - this thing felt very similar to the spirit stone she had felt at that time.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Wanchi asked, "Where did you get this?"
Cao Cao shook his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, benefactor, I can't say it."
Seeing this, Hua Wanchi stopped asking questions.
She suppressed her excitement, put her hand in her pocket and tightly grasped the cool little thing, quickly found a deserted place to take back the puppet, and then entered the space.
Forward: Pills that can eliminate all diseases.
…
For some reason, the old man suddenly felt much better and had more strength, and then he sat up.
Breathing is smooth and the mind is refreshed.
Cao Cao just returned to the ward and saw Grandpa sitting up. She hurried forward and was about to help Grandpa lie down.
"Grandpa, you are still sick, lie down quickly!"
The old man said cheerfully, "I'm fine now, old man. Let's go home."
She wiped her tears hastily and became sad.
I heard that people who are about to die will have a last moment of lucidity. Is this going to happen to his grandfather too?
The old man knew what his grandson was thinking and said quickly, "I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, take me to check again!"
Cao Cao cried even more sadly: "Grandpa, where can we get the money?"
Old man: “…”
I forgot, the grandparents and grandchildren were very poor.
Okay.
Seeing that soft tactics didn’t work, the old man became tough: “I don’t care, I want to go home!”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the ward in a flash.
Cao Cao could do nothing about him and could only follow him while crying.
Alas, why is grandpa so stubborn?
