"Girl, please be kind and save my grandson. He hasn't eaten a grain of rice for two days. I beg the living Buddha to give him some food and save his life."
After Li Xia came out of Guquan Village, she headed west.
The closer you get to the battlefield, the more horrific the scene becomes.
The streets were filled with skinny old people and children.
Many people were forced into a situation where they had no choice but to kneel on the streets and beg for a living.
But at this time, everyone is hungry.
Who would have extra food to give to these poor beggars?
Li Xia witnessed these scenes with his own eyes these days and was deeply shocked.
I thought what I saw in Guquan Village was a real war.
I didn't expect that there is always a mountain outside the mountain.
The miserable conditions in Guquanzhai were not even one tenth of those here.
Although there was constant war in the surrounding area, at least most of the people there still had a place to live.
Although the food is not good, you will not be hungry every day.
Li Xia has seen this tragic scene every time these days.
She really wanted to change the world.
Wars often involve the most innocent people at the bottom of society.
They clearly did nothing, but they have to bear the most serious consequences.
Li Xia looked at the once bustling market, which was now extremely desolate.
Li Xia frowned.
Just as she was thinking about something, a withered hand suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Li Xia didn't notice there was someone at her feet.
She was almost startled.
She lowered her head and found that there was an old woman next to her holding a very thin little boy in her arms, and in front of them was a half-broken bowl.
The old woman was unkempt and skinny.
The little boy in her arms had his eyes half closed, perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, and did not have any of the energy and spirit that a child should have.
"Little girl, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Don't be afraid, both we are honest people, not bad people, and we won't harm you." The old woman may have realized that her actions just now scared people, so she quickly apologized to Li Xia.
If they were not forced by the world, they would not have taken turns to come here.
It would be fine if her old bones died.
But her grandson is still so young and hasn't had the chance to see the world properly.
She really couldn't bear it.
So in order to give her grandson a glimmer of hope to survive, she was willing to risk her reputation even if she had to beg for a living.
The old woman raised her head, and Li Xia could vaguely see her appearance.
Although the old woman was so thin that she was almost boneless, her kind eyes made Li Xia not so scared.
"Granny, please wait a moment."
Li Xia originally wanted to open his bag and look for the dry food he brought with him when he left Guquan Village.
But when she looked up, she saw beggars on both sides of the street who made a living by begging.
She suddenly thought of the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
These people all looked extremely hungry.
If I take out the dry food at this time, not only will the old woman and her grandson not be able to eat anything, but I would also be in danger.
When Li Xia thought of this, she became cautious.
"Mother-in-law, I'm so sorry, I don't have anything on me."
As soon as Li Xia said this, the old woman's eyes immediately dimmed.
She has tried her best not to give up any opportunity.
She would lick her old face and beg for money from every passerby she met.
But despite her efforts, she was unable to save her grandson.
"It's okay, girl. I can see that you are a kind-hearted girl." The old woman raised her eyes, pulled her dry lips, and tried to force a smile. She shook her head and said, "Girl, this place is not suitable for staying for a long time. If you have nothing to do, you should leave here quickly."
She asked so many people, but this little girl was the only one who had the patience to squat down and talk to her, an old woman.
From this point of view.
She is just a good person with a kind heart.
The old woman was already in despair and she no longer had any hope.
Her belief in living was all because of the grandson in her arms.
Times are tough.
If there is really no other way, she will leave with her grandson.
When Li Xia heard the old woman's words of concern for her, she felt very uncomfortable.
She could barely even provide for her own food and clothing, yet she still cared about her own safety.
In fact, if there is no other way, who would be willing to resort to begging for a living?
Li Xia could see that the old woman was doing this for the little boy in her arms.
The relieved smile she just had.
Li Xia understood.
The old woman doesn't want to struggle anymore.
If anything happened to the little boy in her arms, she would probably follow him without any hesitation.
"Old lady, I can save your grandson." Li Xia opened her lips and spoke.
The old woman was already unable to take care of herself, but she still wanted her to leave the place quickly, fearing that she would be in danger.
Li Xia couldn't just stand by and watch someone die no matter what.
"Little girl, please don't make fun of me, your mother-in-law."
When the old woman heard what Li Xia said, she raised her eyelids, without any ripples in her heart. She just thought Li Xia was joking.
She had just said she had no food.
If that's the case, how can she save her grandson?
Li Xia could tell the old woman didn't believe her. She licked her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "Grandma, what I said is true. Although I can't help you in other ways, I said I can save your grandson. I was not joking and I didn't mean to lie to you."
