The long-lost sunshine shines through the clouds and onto the ground and onto the roof.

With the scorching heat of the sun, the white snow on the roof gradually began to melt, and the sound of dripping water dripped and tinkled, which was pleasant to the ears.

It is the coldest time when the snow melts. Everyone is wrapped in thick cotton clothes, which looks clumsy and heavy.

The vendors put their hands into their sleeves, sprayed clouds of mist from their mouths, and shouted loudly.

"Let's go and have a look!"

"Scallion pancakes, one per penny, delicious, big, and filling."

"Knife, sickle, scissors..."

"Insoles are sold cheaply!"

The streets were overcrowded and extremely crowded.

Various items were displayed on both sides of the street, and the sellers' cries attracted many people to watch.

Wang Ruixue, Wang Jiali, Wang Xiaoju, and Wang Xiahe walked hand in hand through the sea of ​​people.

Look here and there, buy what you like, and within a short time, except for Wang Ruixue, the other three people have bought all kinds of food and entertainment.

Wang Jiali spotted a pair of hairpins at a street stall and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these hairpins?"

When the woman saw someone asking, she immediately introduced her enthusiastically, not forgetting to brag, "Oh, girl, you have good taste. This hairpin comes from the palace. It is a new style this year. A pair costs five cents."

Wang Ruixue looked at the hairpin flowers and secretly rolled her eyes. The capital was far away from here. Even if it was spread, it would not be that fast. It was a bit too much.

"Five articles," Wang Jiali was shocked! There was some pain in his eyes, "This is too expensive, can it be less?"

Seeing that Wang Jiali thought it was expensive and liked it very much, the woman curled her lips and rolled her eyes, "I see that the girl sincerely wants to buy it, so let's give it one penny less to you and give you four pence."

"Three cents, I'll buy a pair too," Wang Xiaoju still thought it was expensive and bargained.

"Ouch," the woman was a little embarrassed, "Girl, my small business won't make any money no matter how little I do."

"Forget it, let's go," Wang Xiaoju said and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey, forget it, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and you're just a little girl, so just three cents," the woman said with a heartbroken look on her face.

Hehe, Wang Jiali smiled happily and immediately went to pick her favorite color.

After buying, the four of them were about to leave. At this moment, a skinny girl in ragged clothes suddenly emerged from the crowd. She ran and looked back, hurriedly running towards them.

Seeing this, Wang Ruixue quickly pushed Wang Xiaoju and the others away. She couldn't dodge in time and collided with the girl.

Wang Xiaoju and the other three were suddenly pushed away, staggering and almost falling. After they stabilized, they turned around and saw Wang Ruixue and the girl colliding, and both fell to the ground.

Wang Ruixue hit her elbow on the wood of the stall, and her arm went numb immediately, followed by a heartbreaking pain.

Everything happened so suddenly, everyone was shocked.

When they came to their senses, some people were dissatisfied and cursed, "Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

"Ruixue," Wang Xiaoju reacted first and quickly went over to help Wang Ruixue up.

He looked at her carefully and asked anxiously, "How are you? Did you hit anything?"

Wang Ruixue frowned and gritted her teeth. After a while, she shook her head and said, "It's okay."

"Ruixue, Sister Ruixue, are you okay?" Wang Jiali and Wang Xiahe also hurried over and asked worriedly.

Wang Ruixue shook her head.

The girl on the ground ignored the pain and hurriedly got up from the ground, holding the bun that fell on the ground tightly in her hands. Her hands were like chicken feet, black and dirty.

"You thief, let's see if I don't beat you to death." A man ran over with a wooden stick. When he saw the girl, "Bang," he hit the girl on the back with the stick.

The force was so strong that Wang Ruixue felt pain for the girl.

"Ah...," the girl screamed and fell to the ground. The steamed bun in her hand fell again and rolled a few times before stopping.

The crowd of onlookers cast disdainful glances and spat: "Those who steal things with good hands and feet deserve to be beaten."

"I think we can send him to the Yamen."

Everyone was talking about it.

The waiter didn't care so much and was waving his stick and getting ready to hit him again. Wang Ruixue quickly stopped him and said, "Stop, I bought the steamed buns." He took out two coins and gave them to the waiter.

The guy took the money, glared at the girl, snorted, and turned to leave.

Wang Ruixue picked up the steamed buns on the ground, walked over and helped the girl up, "Girl, here." After saying that, he handed the steamed buns to her.

The girl raised her head and looked at Wang Ruixue gratefully. With tears in her eyes, she took the bun with trembling hands and said, "Thank you, girl." Her voice was hoarse and weak.

Wang Ruixue was shocked! If I hadn't seen her talking, I would have thought she was a walking skeleton.

The girl's hair was disheveled and unkempt, her hair was the color of withered grass, her body was skinny and as thin as paper, her worn cotton clothes were in bits and pieces, and there were lumps of cotton wool. She could not keep out the cold at all. Her toes were exposed, red and swollen with pus, and she was shivering from the cold.

The complexion is sallow and rough, like a piece of yellow rough paper, the cheeks are sunken and fleshless, skinny, the eyes are sunken, like two holes, which looks a bit scary, the lips are pale and cracked, with red blood stains remaining, and they are shivering due to the cold He could hear his teeth chattering faintly.

Looking at the girl's shivering body with cold, she said, "Follow me and I'll take you to buy some things."

After that, Wang Ruixue took her to a ready-made clothing store and bought her a second-hand cotton coat and shoes.

A warm feeling flashed through the girl's heart. This was the first time in her life that someone bought her clothes, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

The girl was wearing old cotton clothes and shoes, which made her whole body feel warm and her trembling body calmed down.

After buying it, "You should go back quickly, so as not to worry your family."

The girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Ruixue, "Girl, I, I have no home, can you take me in? I will do anything." The girl looked at Wang Ruixue longingly and expectantly, with pleading in her eyes.

Wang Ruixue hurriedly avoided it and helped her up, "I can't take you in, so I took out two hundred yuan and gave it to her. Take this money and don't steal anything again in the future. I can only help you with this."

The girl couldn't bear to be stubborn, "Girl, please, my family is gone. I have no home. I will do anything. I just want you to give me a bite to eat." The girl cried and begged, wiping her tears. Tears spread down her skinny cheeks.

This place quickly attracted many people to watch and discuss.

"Oh, girl, just take her in. At most, she will only have one more pair of dishes and chopsticks."

"It's just, so pathetic."

Wang Ruixue looked at the crowd and said, "Yes, she is very pitiful. How about you do a good job and take her in."

The few people who were talking just now shut up immediately. These days, they don't even have enough to eat, and they have to feed themselves, so the food at home is burning.

Wang Ruixue took out two hundred Wen and handed it to her, "I can only help you with this." After saying that, he took Wang Xiaoju and the other three and left.

The girl was not discouraged. She took the money, got up from the ground, and followed him secretly.

The hair of the four people who finally squeezed out from the crowd was a little messy.

Wang Xiaoju's cotton-padded coat was scratched by something unknown. Looking at the exposed cotton wool, Wang Xiaoju frowned, with a trace of worry in her eyes: It's over, I will inevitably get scolded when I go back. "

"Ouch, I didn't know who stepped on me just now, and my big toe still hurts a little," Wang Jiali said gloomily, with displeasure in her eyes.

Wang Ruixue straightened her slightly messy hair and asked with concern, is it serious? There are so many of them that it’s hard to avoid. "

Wang Jiali shook her head, "It's not serious."

Wang Ruixue took out her needle and thread, "I have needle and thread here, please sew it."

Wang Xiaoju was surprised for a moment, her eyes full of joy, "That's great, Ruixue, you are really my lucky star." Then she quickly took the needle and thread and started sewing.

The four of them took a break.

"Is there anything else I need to buy? Why don't we wait for my parents at the intersection and go back in a bullock cart?" Wang Ruixue suggested.

The other three shook their heads, so the four of them walked towards the intersection of the town, but did not notice the tail behind them.
