Zhang Xiuyuan and Qing'er were not used to people kneeling to them and kowtowing to them.
Hurry and let him get up.
"Who is the brother Ci you are talking about? Where is he? Take us to see him." Qing'er pulled him up as if she didn't see the dirt on him.
The little beggar held on to a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect that the older brother didn't refuse immediately and even wanted to go and see Brother Ci.
"I, I'll take you there. Brother Ci is right there." The little beggar pointed in the direction of the dilapidated temple.
On the way, Zhang Xiuyuan and Qing'er learned the little beggar's name, Orange, and the names of other little beggars' fruits.
It is said that this name was given to them by their elder sister who had always taken care of them.
Most of the little beggars were either kidnapped or abandoned. They don’t have or can’t remember their own names.
"Sister Mu is very good. She has always taken good care of us and given us nice names. She said that fruits are sour and sweet and delicious. Even if some people don't like them, there will always be others who do."
Zhang Xiuyuan's heart was touched.
"And there's Brother Ci, he's also very kind to us. He never went to a private school, he just listened and watched outside. He's amazing, that's how he learned to read. He's the only one among us who can read. He can also write storybooks. His storybooks are really, really good, and he can even sell them in bookstores and make money. But unfortunately, Brother Ci is mute."
The chatterbox Orange felt a little depressed when he said this.
"Two days ago, when Youzi was out, she was bullied by other big beggars. Brother Ci saw it and went up to fight them. Those people were despicable, really despicable." Chengzi clenched his fists, indignant. "In the end, Brother Ci saved Youzi, but was pushed into the water by those people and almost drowned."
As Orange spoke, tears fell.
"Later, it was Sister Mu who rushed back and fished Brother Ci out. Afterwards, Brother Ci fell ill. He was very hot. I tried to feed him, but he couldn't eat. I tried to talk to him, but he kept falling asleep and no matter how much I called, I couldn't wake him up."
Yuzu is the younger sister of the girl called Sister Mu. Yuzu has a broken brain and is silly and stupid.
The brother Ci he mentioned must have caught a cold and had a fever after falling into the water.
"Sister Mu took us to beg for money to see a doctor for Brother Ci, but we didn't have enough. Sister Mu said that if Brother Ci couldn't see a doctor and the fever continued, he would die... Woohoo, I don't want Brother Ci to die."
Orange, Brother Ci is very good to them. Although he is mute and cannot speak, he is very good and can express the contents of the storybook with his hands.
Soon, Orange took them into the dilapidated temple.
The dilapidated temple is very small. From the outside, it looks tattered and there is a hole in the roof. If it rains, it will probably leak.
However, the temple was kept very clean.
In a corner of the temple, there was a large pot with a hole in it and a dozen bowls.
Perhaps because they were worried that it would be cold at night, the temple was covered with clean straw.
There were a dozen little beggars staying in the dilapidated temple, gathered in one place.
Perhaps they heard the sound, the little beggars looked up, and when they saw the stranger, they were startled and a little scared.
One of the younger ones only saw Orange and cried to him, "Brother Orange, Brother Ci, he got burned again."
Orange stepped forward immediately.
It was at this moment that Zhang Xiuyuan and Qing'er saw clearly the person lying on the straw.
