Chapter 46 Writing in the Republic of China (45)

The city of Beiping, covered in white under the heavy snow, is beautiful, but only those idle people who have nothing to worry about eating and drinking can be in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery. For many poor people, winter is the most difficult time of the year.

Every day when Lejing goes to and from school, he sees freshly fallen bodies on the roadside, mostly the elderly and children. It won't be long before scavengers pull their bodies out of Beiping City.

After winter, Chunyan also officially started setting up stalls outside to sell breakfast.

She and her mother set up a small food stall on the roadside, selling some simple food in the morning and evening. Because Chunyan's craftsmanship is very good and the price is affordable, the business is quite prosperous. Even after deducting the protection fees and capital paid to the police, I can't make much money in a month. But it's already a good start for Chunyan, and she is full of confidence in her future.

Chunyan's stall is located on the road that Lejing must pass on his way to and from school, so every time he passes by Chunyan, he will warmly greet him to come and eat. I have to say that Chunyan’s skills are really good. The buns she makes have thin skin, thick fillings, rich gravy, and great taste. People like Le Jing who don’t like meat can eat three or four of them in one meal.

Later, Lejing simply arranged breakfast and dinner at Chunyan's food stall, which saved Chunyan from having to take care of both ends every day.

These days, Le Jing's "Wandering Adventures" has been serialized in the "Literary Journal". Da Mao wandered around the city of Beiping, and encountered all kinds of strange people and strange things, including a cat demon who robbed the rich and helped the poor, There are former bandits who wash their hands in golden basins, and there are wealthy young men who accidentally wander away...

These various characters appear one after another, which not only enriches the plot, but also highlights Da Mao's witty, brave, innocent and kind, clear love and hate, and compassionate character traits.

Unknowingly, Da Mao gained high popularity among readers with his superb personality charm, and as a result, many people began to pay attention to the group of street children. Chunyan is also one of them. Every time she dismantled the stall, she would give some leftover food to the street children nearby.

In addition to her, Le Jing also discovered that charity to street children on the streets has increased recently. Although this is only a drop in the bucket for the miserable current situation of countless street children in Peiping, at least things are developing in a good direction.

It was at this time that Le Jing received a special letter.

The sender was an acquaintance, signed by Fu Kemao, president of the Luming Middle School Street Children Aid Association.

He said in the letter that he was so shocked by Le Jing's novel that he was determined to do something for poor street children like Da Mao. Therefore, he specially set up the Street Children's Aid Association in the school and encouraged and called on the students to actively donate money and materials to this end.

Finally, he repeatedly invited Le Jing to visit their association and guide their work when he was free.

Of course I won't go to Lejing.

These days, Le Jing has also been paying attention to the activities of Fu Kemao's orphanage. Fu Kemao was not a stupid person in the first place, but his previous living environment was too simple and he lacked social experience. He listened carefully to the suggestions Le Jing gave him and really made changes.

Le Jing heard that every Saturday and Sunday, Fu Kemao would organize some charity sales, auction some handicrafts made by the children, and then use the money from the sales to hire teachers for the children. The name of the Fu family was there, and doing charity was also a good thing, so for a while the charity auction became an occasion for many young ladies to show off their wealth. Fu Kemao also recovered some funds, which can be used for the follow-up construction of the orphanage.

At the same time, he also set strict rules and regulations within the orphanage and would not be merciful to children who violated the rules.

When Le Jing went to the orphanage later, he found that the atmosphere inside was much better, at least there were no more frequent fights.

So he felt it was time to start promoting Fu Kemao's orphanage and charity in his works. He hoped that Fu Kemao would not be frightened by that time.

The next morning, Le Jing and Li Shuran came to Chunyan's food stall as usual. When they had breakfast, they found a few strange children in the food stall.

Is this child labor?

Chunyan: "Sir, have you watched "Vagabond" recently?"

Le Jing's expression didn't change: "I've seen it a little bit, what's wrong?"

Tears appeared in Chunyan's eyes, "Mr. Maitian is so good at writing, and Da Mao makes me feel so sad, so I want to help these poor children more."

Le Jing suddenly asked: "Are you doing charity?"

Chunyan waved her hand sheepishly, "How can I call it charity? I just care about their meals. These children are usually very quick and help me a lot."

"That's enough, at least I can survive."

His article really helped some street children change their situation. Although this help is still small now, if at least a few more street children are rescued, China will have a little more hope for the future.

Among the children who came to help, there was a girl who particularly attracted Le Jing's attention.

The girl looked young, about six or seven years old, with a sallow face and skinny muscles, a big head and a small body. She was wearing patched clothes, and her exposed neck, wrists and calves were covered with dense bruises and bruises. She ran around in bare feet greeting guests.

Chunyan introduced Le Jing: "This is Xiao Ni." Then she said to Xiao Ni: "Xiao Ni, this is my boss when I was a cook, Mr. Le Jing."

Xiaoni was young, and her eyes looked a little dull. She knelt down and kowtowed to Le Jing skillfully, and said after a while: "Xiaoni has seen the master, I will definitely work hard."

Le Jing looked at the clear marks on her neck and sighed deeply, feeling a little bored.

He didn't know Xiaoni's past, but he knew what a disgusting and disgusting story it would be. Leftism is just the result of the despicable and ugly animal nature in some people.

The more people and things he sees, the more curious Le Jing becomes about human nature.

Human beings are so complex and elusive. Good people will do bad things, and bad people will also do good things. The mediocre evil of indifference and drifting with the crowd led to the Jewish Holocaust and the catastrophe of the ten years after the founding of the Chinese nation.

Whenever this happens, he gets very irritable. If the brilliance of humanity hadn't flashed across the human sky from time to time, he might have been completely disappointed with humanity and might have become a complete anti-humanity element.

Le Jing knelt down, helped Xiao Ni up, looked at her and smiled, "You don't have to call me Master, Master has already called me old, you can just call me brother. And now is a new era, you are not allowed to kneel. From now on, it’s enough to bow when you meet someone.”

Xiao Ni opened her mouth in surprise, as if she didn't expect Le Jing, a rich man, to be so kind and approachable. He was stunned for a long time before timidly nodding.

While Le Jing was eating, he discovered that Xiao Ni was particularly diligent, had a lively eye, and was particularly good at reading people's looks. Although she is young, she clears the table, serves food and washes the dishes very quickly. It is obvious from a glance that she does a lot of work. But she was still too silent and her tone of voice was a little strange. Le Jing guessed it might be because her vocal cords were injured.

It's just that the food stall is small after all, and the number of customers is limited. Chunyan and her mother can only take care of it, and Xiaoni's help is limited. From Lejing's point of view, Chunyan is currently in the early stages of starting a business, making little money and has low customer flow. Hiring helpers is a completely unnecessary expense. Chunyan's behavior may have something to do with Xiaoni's injuries.

When Chunyan went to Lejing's house to cook for them at noon, she took the initiative to explain the reason.

"This child Xiaoni also has a hard life." Chunyan sighed and recounted Xiaoni's life experience.

It can only be said that happy families are always similar, and unhappy families always have various misfortunes.

Xiaoni was born in a family that favored sons over daughters. Before her, her parents had drowned her three sisters. Originally, Xiao Ni was also about to drown, but at this moment a fortune teller came to the village.

Le Jing didn't know if it was the fortune teller who was just talking nonsense or if he had good intentions. In short, he told Xiao Ni's father that the reason why he couldn't have a son was because he drowned too many daughters, which damaged his moral character. Xiaoni survived like this.

It’s just that there are many ways of living in the world that are worse than death, and there are also many ways that abuse people.

"When I saw Xiaoni, she was tied up in a pig pen, naked and eating pig food with the pigs." Chunyan's eyes were red, and even now she was indignant when she thought about what she saw that day: "Beasts, everyone in his family is a beast! Xiaoni Her status in the family is worse than that of a dog! She eats and sleeps in a pig pen every day, and usually does all the housework at home. Moreover, her parents will beat and scold her if she doesn't get her way! She will be beaten to death by her parents sooner or later."

That's right.

Le Jing once again thought of Xiao Ni's weird, one-on-one accent. Now that I think about it, it may not be that my vocal cords were damaged, but because I haven't spoken properly for a long time.

Chunyan, who was immersed in anger, did not notice that as she spoke, the boy's eyes darkened, and there seemed to be some dangerous emotion brewing in them: "Are they willing for you to take Xiaoni away?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Chunyan sneered: "I spent two oceans to buy Xiaoni!"

Two oceans.

Judging from the current purchasing power, it is equivalent to two to three hundred yuan.

It's really...cheap.

This sheer malevolence from humans has never let Le Jing down.

In this world, there is the Virgin who cuts off flesh to save people, and there are demons who care about human life. They are obviously both human beings, but they have different personalities, just like two different species.

Some people wear human skin and look like human beings.

Then again, when Le Jing went to Chun Yan's food stall to eat, he quietly asked Xiao Ni: "Do you want to take revenge on your parents?"

Xiao Ni stopped wiping the table, and her eyes suddenly ignited with hot flames.

She said word for word: "I want them dead."

So Le Jing smiled and said, "Would you like me to help kill them?"

Xiao Ni shook her head, her eyes were pure and natural. She smiled shyly at Le Jing and said a little unskilledly: "Thank you, brother, but no, I will kill them in the future."

At this moment, Le Jing suddenly felt the urge to laugh.

Hahahahahahahahaha how interesting.

Those scumbags had no idea what kind of monster they had raised.

The girl who was kept in a pigsty and raised with pigs did not form a human concept of good and evil. She only had innocence, ignorance, and animal nature.

She doesn't even have a self.

What drives her to live until now is only the instinct of living creatures.

This girl is going to kill her parents, one day.

Then she becomes a murderer.

Because she has not been raised with empathy and has no concept of good and evil, she has no principles or bottom lines.

If she really wanted to go to this point, Le Jing would have no choice but to kill her.

"Chunyan, if you trust me, just give me the child." Le Jing said to Chunyan: "She is still missing the most important thing, I must help her find it." Otherwise, I will have to kill her.

Chunyan trusted Le Jing very much. Le Jing was the most cultured person she had ever met! So she nodded and agreed immediately.

So Le Jing took Xiao Ni to Kaiming Middle School and handled the admission procedures for her. He was very arbitrary this time and did not ask Xiao Ni's opinion.

Xiao Ni stood in confusion on the campus, looking at the endless stream of students, and asked Le Jing: "I will come here to study in the future, so I won't work?"

"Of course not. I won't let you study in vain." He said to Xiao Ni coldly: "You have to work for me in your spare time to pay off your debts."

Xiao Ni nodded, and accepted it all submissively and without resistance. This is natural, after all, she doesn't even have a self now.

Le Jing is not a saint. He chose to help Xiao Ni just because she is both a child and an alien. Le Jing felt the long-lost freshness and curiosity from her.

He was very curious about what kind of person a beast that had read books and understood common sense and reason would become.

A few days later, Le Jing received a telegram from Ji Qi, in which he told him that the film "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute" had been filmed and he invited Le Jing to Shanghai to watch it.

Bai Shaoyao finally failed to play the leading role in "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute". No matter how much Xue Dashuai liked Bai Shaoyao and indulged her, he could not let his concubine travel thousands of miles to Shanghai to act. He and the government in Shanghai were not on good terms.

So the final leading actress was Qiu Ju, a former member of the Qingyin class who had vowed not to be a concubine. After she was redeemed by the doctor from Shandong, she did not follow her husband back to his hometown in Shandong. The two stayed in Beijing to settle down. Qiu Ju did not bid farewell to the stage and continued her acting career on weekdays.

After Bai Shaoyao resigned, the new leading actress was selected from the actors of the drama "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute". Qiu Ju was quickly selected as the leading actress with her superb acting skills. Most of the other supporting actors in the movie were also selected from drama actors.

So Le Jing asked for sick leave from school for himself and Li Shuran, and took the train to Shanghai with editor Yang Jinglun.

The author has something to say:

A small theater a hundred years later:

Li Xuansun's history class

History teacher: Mr. Li Jingran and the future founding female general Wang Xiaoni first met in a snowy winter...

Li Xuansun was drowsy

History teacher: Mr. Le Jing was the Bole who discovered Wang Xiaoni, the thousand-mile horse. Without him, Wang Xiaoni was destined to be submerged in the sea of ​​clouds in history... Li XX! ! You are still sleeping! Get up! Let me ask you, why did your ancestor adopt General Wang Xiaoni? Did he discover General Wang Xiaoni's extraordinary talent as soon as they met?

Li Xuansun blurted out with sleepy eyes:... No, my great-grandfather thought she was a good seedling for killing, and might be anti-human in the future, so he wanted to kill her.

History teacher:... Shut up! Don't just say you are Mr. Li Jingran's great-great-grandson! I have been teaching for decades, do you know Mr. Li Jingran as well as I do? !

Li Jingran didn't want to talk, because he still didn't deserve to have a name today.
