Chapter 60 I Don’t Want to Be an Ant Anymore

Xiaoliu's eyes lit up at first, but then he felt it was impossible.

The slums are the dirtiest and most corrupt places in the entire capital, and everyone who stays here is waiting to die.

Even if those nobles were offering free porridge and free medical consultations, they would set up the stalls at the gate of the capital city, where everyone could see them, to gain reputation. How could they possibly set up the stalls in the slums?

Xiao Liu lay back down: "Butt, my legs are broken and I'm going to die soon, why are you making fun of me?"

Butt cheeks stamped their feet anxiously: "It's true! Why would I lie to you! I've already asked other friends to line up there first, I thought you didn't know so I came to inform you!"

"Do you want to go or not? If you don't, then I'll go by myself! That porridge stall is only open for two hours. The delicious porridge will be gone if you go too late!"

Seeing that Butt's anxious look was not fake, Xiao Liu quickly sat up from the bed, with hope in his eyes: "Really?! Then I want to go!"

But his leg was broken, and he had too little food in his stomach and no strength. He was supported by his buttocks, walking and stopping along the way, and he almost crawled the last section of the way.

Finally I arrived at the queue where porridge was being distributed.

Xiao Fa, who was in charge of distributing porridge, took a look and, as usual, gave a bowl of porridge to those in particular need first.

Xiaoliu is among the people who receive special care.

When Xiaoliu and Bitu Dan held the warm and thick white porridge, they both felt a sense of unreality.

It was not until he drank the stomach-warming white porridge and his hands and feet gradually regained strength that he felt like he had returned to the world again.

Xiaoliu dragged his injured leg to the free clinic next door to queue up.

At first he was still worried whether he would only be given free medical treatment and would have to pay for the medicine after the treatment.

He thought that if he had to spend money to buy medicine, forget it. He had no money, but he could ask the doctor if he could reattach and fix his leg.

Unexpectedly, when it was his turn, the doctor took a look at his legs and told him to lie down quickly. He not only set and fixed his legs, but also quickly prescribed medicine for him.

Xiaoliu waved his hands awkwardly: "I...I don't have any money."

The doctor who treated him smiled and said, "You don't have to pay for these medicines. These medicines were paid for by the lady who invited me to come and see you for free today. Do you have a pot for boiling medicine at home? If not, please line up over there. You can line up over there to boil medicine."

Xiaoliu's family was so poor that they had nothing, not even a pot for boiling medicine. Unexpectedly, others had even solved the problem of boiling medicine for him.

He felt a surge of hope as he could fill his stomach and heal his leg.

It seemed like he didn't have to die, and life seemed to go on as usual.

He hurriedly asked the doctor: "Which lady is the one who asked you to come for free medical consultation today?"

Doctor Xu pointed to a carriage not far away and said, "Oh, that's the Princess Chen sitting in that carriage. She's such a kind person. She also built the porridge stall next door. I heard that it will be open every three days for a long time."

Just then a gust of wind blew by, blowing up the curtain of the carriage, allowing Xiaoliu to clearly see Wen Ling sitting inside the carriage.

When Xiaoliu saw what Wen Ling looked like, his face suddenly turned red for no apparent reason.

I don’t know if it was because he drank the porridge she gave him or because he saw the doctor she hired.

In Xiaoliu's opinion, Wen Ling was extremely beautiful, as if she was a fairy from heaven. He had never seen such a pure and beautiful woman.

It turns out that she is the Princess of Chen.

When Wen Ling felt someone was looking at her and turned around as if she had sensed something, the wind just stopped and the curtains were lowered.

Xiaoliu withdrew his gaze in a daze and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

What Wen Ling didn't know was that she had unknowingly left an indelible mark in the heart of a twelve-year-old boy, and became a ray of light that shone into his dark life.

Xiaoliu boiled the medicine, held the medicine bowl, and limped home.

After eating a big bowl of porridge, Buttocks said to him excitedly: "When your foot gets better, we can go begging together again. This time I have established a good relationship with the Beggars' Gang in the rich area.

I will take you there to beg for food in the future, and I guarantee that you will have a full meal every day! ”

Xiaoliu, however, lay on the ground with his hands on his head, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, and suddenly asked him: "Butt, we are already twelve years old this year, are we going to beg like this for the rest of our lives?

When I grow up, I will become a big beggar, a big gangster, and when I get old, I will become an old beggar. Then, like my grandfather, I will die of illness in a corner where no one knows.

Will you spend your whole life as an ant without dignity? ”

Although Xiaoliu was unkempt and his hair was dirty and hanging in wisps on his head, one could still see his handsome and three-dimensional facial features and his straight and firm nose.

It is the radiance of a pearl that cannot be obscured by dust.

Few people know that his mother was the top prostitute in the Red Mansion at that time. After giving birth to him, she met a wealthy businessman from another place who wanted to redeem her, but the only condition was that he could not be brought along as a burden.

His mother left him a bag of small change, abandoned him when he was only three years old, and followed the rich businessman out of the capital.

He thought his whole life would be like this.

But after seeing Wen Ling sitting in the carriage today, he suddenly stopped thinking about it.

He wanted to repay her, but if he remained an ant forever, he would not even be qualified to repay her.

So he suddenly didn't want to be an ant in the mud anymore. He thought, at least he should be a decent human being.

Buttocks scratched his head in confusion: "But is there anything else we can do? There is no decent job in this capital that would hire beggars like us."

Xiaoliu seemed to have made up his mind: "If we continue to stay in the capital, there may be no hope, but what if we join the army?"
