The city is so big that he can't get out.
However, he never begged like other street kids, always finding food on his own. If he got sick, he would just endure it.
What made him happy was that he found a toy knife that a child didn't want in the trash can. When he had a little more strength, he practiced with the knife. He couldn't let his hands get rusty, because he had to go back for revenge...
Until one day, he saw a strand of white hair.
"……Um?"
There are more and more white hairs.
He didn't understand what it meant, and when his black hair turned completely white, he didn't think it was a big deal. Until one day when he was bathing in the river, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
He was thinking in a daze.
……it's over.
…
But when he woke up.
He was lying on a clean and tidy bed with an IV in his hand.
He was confused.
This is a hospital. He can't even afford a box of medicine. How can he lie here?
But when he was about to jump out of the window to escape, the door opened and a man in police uniform stopped him and pulled him back to the bed.
"Hey, I saw you fainted by the river, so I sent you to the hospital. The doctor said you have a lot of problems, you know? You just need to get treated here, and I will pay for it." The man reminded him.
Lu Shu opened his eyes wide, not understanding why. Everyone was reluctant to give him a steamed bun, but this man paid so much money to help a stranger?
"No reason. There are many bad people in this world, and there are many good people. Now that I've seen it, I can't just ignore it. My salary isn't enough to starve to death, so I'll save as many as I can." The man turned around and took out a big bag, and a warm breath came out:
"Here, this is the new cotton-padded jacket I just bought for you. Try it on to see if it fits you. This is the porridge and roasted sweet potatoes I bought at the hospital entrance. You haven't had hot food for a long time, right? Come and warm up your stomach..."
After wandering for a long time, Lu Shu put on a cotton jacket that fit him for the first time. Sweet potato was lying in his hand. The doctor had treated his palm and it no longer hurt.
“… Ugh.”
For the first time, he realized that this kind of food was so delicious. The last time, everything he ate tasted like chewing wax, but this time, the sweet smell filled his mouth and he felt so happy that he wanted to cry.
The man stroked his head, his big hands were warm: "You can live in my house first, and when your ID card comes through, I'll help you find a job. If you want to go to school, you can work part-time while studying."
"……Um."
He responded vaguely, and a sweet fragrance spread in his mouth. It turned out that there really was a savior in this world.
It turns out that in this world,
There really are...good people.
He didn't see the medical notice at the foot of his bed, and even if he did, he couldn't understand it - what did the word "cancer" mean? He didn't understand.
Anyway, it can't be worse than it is now.
He met a good person, he can go to school, and his life will definitely... get better gradually.
He can live a long, long time, that's great...
