Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

Lin Jingyu peeled the sugarcane and cut it into five sections neatly. He asked A Biao to wash it. He washed his hands, took out his mobile phone and started to make calls.

Just after exchanging a few words with his friends in Sanao, Lin Jingyu looked up and saw Su Chen put the cap on his pen.

All calculated so quickly?

He walked through the bluestone street: "Not bad, uh, I called you just to ask if there was a fire in Sanao recently..."

"No... a big sister came to me to raise money. I heard that her accent was from your place..." Lin Jingyu's body stiffened and slowly straightened up, "Really? A dozen buildings burned down? How did it burn? Is the person okay?"

Before the other end of the phone answered, Su Chen's voice rang out: "Someone died."

Lin Jingyu: "???"

A sigh came from the other end.

"The fire started at dawn on the 16th. Everyone was asleep at that time. You know, the old houses in our Sanao are all made of wood. They burn very quickly. Many of them cannot be saved in time..."

"By the way, you, a kind-hearted person, called me. Do you want to donate? One hundred or two hundred is not too much, one or two dollars is not too little."

Lin Jingyu said, "It will cost a lot to rebuild the house, right? It's winter, it's not easy..."

"Of course, the leaders are in meetings these days and want to raise money. Any help is a little bit, but you know, our small place... where can we get money?"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jingyu sat down.

"Hey~ There is no peace anywhere!"

Su Chen returned the file to him.

"Let me count how many there are, and calculate how much money it is for you..."

"Forget about the money. I'm just helping you do a good deed."

While Su Chen was talking, his eyes were fixed on Lao An.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you, buddy," Lin Jingyu put away the documents and followed his gaze. He saw that the woman had sat down on the small stool in front of Lao An without knowing when.

"Huh?"

Lao An has been repairing shoes for half his life.

The woman had just passed by so many shops and stalls. When she came to him, Lao An's eyes were immediately attracted by the woman's shoes with the soles taken off.

"Repairing shoes?"

The woman waved her hand hurriedly.

"Brother, please help me..."

Lao An was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed a simple sign in front of the woman.

He was not very literate, but he also knew the words "fire" and "house". His eyes moved down and fell on the woman's feet. Soon Lao An reached into his pocket, took out all the money inside, and stuffed it into the woman's pocket.

The woman bowed to thank him, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lao An.

"You can't walk far if you don't mend your shoes. Take them off and I'll mend them for you," he said, taking the kettle over, opening it and pouring a cup of water, and handing it to the woman, "You've talked so much, you must be thirsty, right? Drink some water."

The woman was stunned, her eyes red.

On the way, many people subconsciously closed and locked the door when they saw her, or simply avoided her.

She had summed up the pattern, and she had to find the elderly in their 50s, 60s, 70s, or young people in their 20s and 30s, who couldn't afford to give her face and were willing to give her some.

But, no one...

No one could give her hot water like Lao An, and even ask her to sit down.

"Thank you, thank you, brother, thank you so much."

The woman choked up and said a few words, drank the hot water, and held back her tears.

Someone came over and looked at the woman with a bad look, and whispered into Lao An's ear.

The woman's heart was lifted.

Lao An shook his head: "No, look at this ankle, the blisters haven't gone away yet, you're lying and you really want to roast it with fire?"

The man was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and stepped back.

After a while, she came over again, stuffed 10 yuan into the woman's arms and ran away.

"Hey, sister, thank you sister~"

The woman used her thick red fingers to smooth out the money bit by bit, put it in her pocket, then stood up again, bowed to the person on one foot to thank her.

When she stood up, she staggered, and saw that her body was about to fall, and her arm was supported.

"Thank you, thank you~"

Lin Jingyu waved his hand: "You're welcome."

Su Chen's hand patted her shoulder twice.

He pulled down the two old men who were leaning on his back.

The old man was charred all over, and after being pulled down, he screamed and struggled, and was directly caught by Su Chen.

The woman felt her body lighten, subconsciously lowered her body, turned around and laughed dryly at Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded slightly.

Lin Jingyu dragged a stool from the side and sat down: "My friend is in Sanao. He said that the fire started at 16:00 in the morning. Where can your family members get treatment for burns?"

When she mentioned this, the woman's nose was sour and she lowered her head quickly. When she raised her head again, her voice had recovered: "I borrowed money from relatives, but they were unwilling. I have no money for treatment, and my relatives' house would not let me stay. Now I am at the village committee. They are helping me to look after it. I came out to raise money..."

As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers subconsciously.

The thick red fingers were obviously frostbitten.

Lin Jingyu restrained his eyes: "It's quite far from Sanao. You didn't walk all the way here?"

The woman didn't say anything.

"Okay," Lin Jingyu handed her two hundred, "I'll go home and get you some food."

Lao An waved his hand: "Go, the shoes can't be repaired so quickly."

When the woman left Chunming Street, the snakeskin bag on her waist was bulging.

She bowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you..."

Chai Daqian said, "Why are you thanking me? You are in trouble. When one family is in trouble, all families should help." He also secretly reminded the woman, "If the burns in your family cannot be cured, remember to come here. We have a miracle doctor here. We won't lie to you."

The woman's eyes lit up and she bowed to him again: "Thank you, brother, thank you..."

Seeing her walking away, Chai Daqian sighed: "Poor person."

Turning around and seeing Lao Liao, he asked: "How much did you give?"

"10 yuan." Lao Liao was embarrassed to say that he had misunderstood the woman as a liar before, so he changed the subject, "Is your store decorated?"

"Soon, soon, your grandson will start school, right?"

Lao Liao became alert: "What?"

"Look at you This person..." Chai Daqian said helplessly, "I found a few new red scarves when I was counting the goods a few days ago. Do you want them?"

"Yes, yes, yes, come on, I'll go to your store to get them."

Lin Jingyu also walked back. When he returned to the bookstall, he found that Su Chen had not left yet. He went over and took a bite of the sugar cane: "Brother, how many people died in her family?"

Su Chen shook his head: "I don't know."

"Alas, it rains when it leaks." Lin Jingyu sighed: "Look at her. Her family was poor to begin with, and now the house is burned down, and her family members are also burned..."

"But we have raised a lot of money here today, so it should be enough to last for a while, don't you think?"

Lin Jingyu took another bite of the sugar cane, and when he looked at Su Chen, he found that he was in a trance.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Chen came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.

He was going to give the woman 10 yuan before, but when she turned around, Su Chen saw two scenes.

"It's getting late. I'm going back to eat. Brother Yu, please close the stall early."

"Hey, okay."
