"Tuozai, are you helping mom deliver food again today?"

Holding a basket in his hand, Xu Tuo walked slowly along the side of the road step by step.Hearing a voice coming from behind, he quickly stopped and bowed to the other person. "Hello, Aunt Shen." As he walked home, people greeted him all the way, and he responded politely all the way.

Xu Tuo's mother opened a ramen restaurant, and there was only one helper in the shop, so when he came back from school and was busy with business, Xu Tuo offered to deliver food for his mother to nearby communities.

When he took a shortcut to go home, he would pass by a big house.It is completely different from the houses in the community on the side of the road. This big house is closed in the yard by a towering wall. From the outside, only a few towering trees can be seen. The iron gate of the big house is also locked tightly. Seeing a few pieces of children's clothes drying out, others would mistakenly think that this is an old house that has been uninhabited and dusty for a long time.

Xu Tuo walked past the mansion at a slow pace.

He remembered that his mother repeatedly told him not to be delayed by anything on the way home, and getting home safely was the most important thing.

So on the weekend, when he passed by the house at noon, even though he heard a few loud bumps and cries from inside, he just quickened his pace and walked away from there.

That night, news of the accident spread.

The news spread from the TV.

The social news is broadcasting a news that a local family surnamed Qin put an 8-year-old boy in an old house under the care of a nanny. Seeing that the boy’s parents were indifferent to him, the nanny became greedy I want to take some valuables from the house and sell them.Unexpectedly, her petty theft was discovered by the boy. The young boy bravely tried to stop the nanny, but was pushed down by the nanny from upstairs.

The boy fell down the stairs and injured his head and was taken to hospital for treatment.Seeing that the boy was injured, the nanny planned to run away in a panic. People passing by the house found that the iron gates and gates that were usually locked were wide open, so they went in to find out.The nanny was quickly found by the police and taken away for investigation.According to the nanny's statement, she knew that the boy had been abused by her for two years.She has always neglected to take care of the boy, and she may not give him a few bites of food for a week.From the TV screen, the boy was infused with nutrient solution in the hospital, and he could only see his thin body, and his arms were as thin and weak as bamboo chopsticks.

Customers in the ramen restaurant saw the news and sparked heated discussions.

"No wonder I saw a crowd of people around there before I came to eat, and there were even vehicles from the TV station parked at the intersection."

"I've seen the Tan family's children several times, and they were picked up by car every time. I thought they were pampered young masters. I never thought they would be in such a miserable life."

"Nowadays, it's really hard to say. A nanny can be cruel to a child. I guess the parents of the child regret it now."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the child's mother is a mistress his father found outside. His father has a wife. The child is left here now, and no one cares whether he is dead or alive."

Xu Tuo didn't understand everything they were talking about, but he remembered that the crying he heard outside the mansion at noon was indeed the voice of a little boy.

It was said on TV that the little boy was only 8 years old, two years younger than him.Such a thing happened at a young age.He sat aside with his head bowed guiltily, thinking that if he had gone in and had a look at that time, maybe the little boy would not have been hurt.

Mother Xu noticed her son's abnormality. After the ramen restaurant closed, she pulled her son to her side and asked carefully.

Xu Tuo honestly confessed to his mother what he saw and heard at noon and how he handled it.

"Mom, isn't my behavior today called "doing nothing..." Xu Tuo just learned this idiom, and put it on himself.

"Xiao Tuo." Xu's mother asked Xu Tuo to look up at herself, and shook her head solemnly, "You didn't do nothing to save people. At that time, you didn't know if there was danger inside, and even if there was danger, mother didn't approve of you going in to save people. ,do you know?"

Xu Tuo looked at her suspiciously.

"Xiao Tuo is just a little man now. When Xiao Tuo becomes a big man, mother will encourage you to save people bravely." Xu's mother took Xu Tuo's hand and squeezed it hard.

"But..." Xu Tuo looked back at the TV that was turned off.

That boy should be alone in the hospital now.Xu Tuo's hesitant expression immediately made Xu's mother guess what she was thinking.

"Does Xiaotuo want to go and see that boy?"

"Yeah." Xu Tuo nodded vigorously.

"Okay, mom agrees to visit him too." Mother Xu smiled and patted her son's shoulders, "However, the premise is that Xiaotuo has finished his homework as usual, and when mom is busy with things at noon, Just take Xiaotuo to the hospital, okay?"

At noon the next day, Xu's mother asked a helper and a neighbor to help her look at the store first, and then took Xu Tuo to the city's central hospital by car.She also thoughtfully prepared a caring lunch and carried it in an insulated lunch box.

Xu's mother held the lunch box in one hand and Xu Tuo in the other, and found the department of the children of the Qin family.Due to the continuous TV reports, as soon as Xu's mother described the situation of the Tan family child, the staff at the hospital consultation desk understood which patient she was talking about.

She stretched out her hand and pointed, "Here, you can find it by going upstairs with those people."

Looking from the direction of her finger, some people with cameras on their shoulders and microphones or light boards in their hands are going into the elevator. Mother Xu can tell at a glance that those people are interviewers from the TV station.

"Mom." Xu Tuo called softly, and timidly grasped Xu's mother's hand. He saw that those people didn't care about the signs of "Please do not make noise" that could be seen everywhere in the corridor of the hospital. Flashing around the top of the head, even though the target of the spotlight is not him, he also feels a little scared.

Mother Xu protected Xu Tuo's eyes with one hand, led him to the side, and asked the head nurse who was standing in the middle of the corridor with her hips crossed and looking at the group of people angrily.

"Hello, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, the children of the Qin family are..." Xu's mother just started, but she was stared back by the head nurse.

"You don't know how to watch it? The TV station group is already interviewing again." The head nurse said in a bad mood, "How can a child be able to withstand your continuous bombing, please have a little conscience."

Xu's mother was taken aback by the words, and after the head nurse had finished reprimanding her, she smiled at the other party in a friendly manner and said, "Actually, we are the neighbors of that kid, we will leave after bringing lunch to him, no Bothered him for a long time."

The head nurse looked down and saw that there was indeed a lunch box in her hand, and her tone eased a little, "Kid Qin Feiyang is still receiving nutrition injections, so he may not be able to eat any food."

"I'm just worried about this, so I specially cooked some porridge, it should be fine." Xu's mother continued to smile, seeing that the head nurse acquiesced to her approach, she was relieved, and pulled Xu Tuo to the side Sit down on the chair.

"Xiao Tuo, after those uncles and aunts leave, you can send the lunch box in. If the little brother is resting, let's not bother him and go straight back, okay?" Mother Xu said softly to her son.

Xu Tuo's eyes kept watching those uncles and aunts who broke into the ward, their formation even extended from the ward to the corridor, Xu Tuo bit his lower lip and nodded.

It didn't take long before he heard the sound of something breaking in the room, and then those people dispersed in a panic, and walked aside to check if there was any problem with their equipment.A middle-aged uncle facing Xu Tuo had a large water stain on the chest of his clothes.

Xu Tuo watched intently, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

When the doctor rushed over and issued an order to evict the guests, the staff of the TV station had no reason to hold back and left the hospital in a hurry just like when they came.

Xu's mother quickly took the opportunity to pull Xu Tuo to stand up, and first went to the doctor to explain her purpose.The doctor did not speak harshly to them, but said, "Because of some stimulation, his mood is not very stable, so please be careful."

"Xiao Tuo, please send your things in. Mom is waiting for you outside." Xu's mother reminded her, "Go in softly, don't scare the children inside."

When Xu Tuo pushed the door in with his lunch box in hand, the curtains in the ward were drawn tightly, leaving only an emergency light by the bed still glowing.A small figure curled up on the hospital bed, with one hand hanging outside the quilt to administer an IV, and everything else was buried under the quilt from face to toe.

Xu Tuo walked in lightly, saw the situation in front of him, but somehow opened his mouth.

Before he came, he had clearly thought about it. The purpose of his coming here was to become friends with this little brother.

As soon as he approached the hospital bed, before he could speak, the quilt was suddenly thrown back.

The little boy lying on the bed showed a delicate and small face, his lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes glared at the person who broke into his ward again.Xu Tuo was suddenly taken aback by the hostility in his eyes, and just as the lunch box in his hand was put on the bedside table, he was suddenly pushed by the boy on the bed.

Xu Tuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it down. Fortunately, the little boy was still unable to exert his strength due to the lack of nutrition for many days. He put the lunch box away and let out a sigh of relief.

As a result, the little boy's face became even more ugly.

"You... don't be afraid." Xu Tuo waved his hands and explained lamely, "I'm here to bring you food, and I'll be leaving right away."

"No need." The little boy stared at him coldly, and even tightly covered his nose when Xu Tuo approached him.

Xu Tuo originally wanted to help him pull the quilt, but was stunned by his disgusted eyes.

"It stinks." The little boy not only covered his nose, but also waved at him like a fly with the other hand on the drip, "Go away, stay away from me." He screamed disgusted say.

Xu Tuo stayed there for a long time, subconsciously raised his arms and brought his nose close to his clothes.Just a little bit of flour and nothing else.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his nose sore, and he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door.

Mother Xu was waiting outside the door. When she saw her son coming out, she was about to smile and ask him how things were going inside, but as soon as he came out, he threw himself into her arms.

Xu Tuo has rarely acted like a baby since he was sensible. This is the first time he shed tears in front of his mother since he failed to get No.1 in the last exam.

Mother Xu comforted Xu Tuo for a long time but didn't know what happened.I saw Xu Tuo tremblingly saying: "He...he said I stink, and told me to go..." As he spoke, tears of grievance flowed non-stop.

Xu's mother managed to make Xu Tuo stop her tears, and then pressed his shoulder and said, "Mom went in and asked Xiao Tuo why, you can't just scold us Xiao Tuo for no reason."

Xu Tuo nodded, watching his mother push open the door of the ward again with tears in his eyes.

He stood next to the door, watching the movement in the room.

"Kid Qin Feiyang?" Mother Xu's voice sounded softly beside the hospital bed, "I am the mother of that kid just now. We live near your house."

The figure curled up on the bed moved when she entered the room, but after hearing her voice, he did not prop up his body, but continued to lie down.

"Auntie, I specially made some rice porridge with a lot of good things in it. You can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you can tell Auntie. If it tastes good, I can make it again next time."

"When you talk to adults, you have to ask questions and answer them to be polite. Kid Qin Feiyang, did you hear what I said?" Mother Xu's voice was a little stern.

"Yeah." After a long time, there was a muffled reply from under the quilt.

"Then, tell auntie now, why did you say the little brother just now?"

The quilt returned to silence again.

"Little Qin Feiyang." Xu's mother said every word, "It's the wrong way to be fierce to those who care about you."

"On him..." A corner of the quilt was lifted, revealing one eye, "There is a smell..."

Xu's mother was startled, she thought for a while, and then she understood.

"It turns out that Qin Feiyang doesn't like the smell of flour." Mother Xu didn't mind at all, and said with a smile, "But Auntie's family makes ramen. Sorry, Auntie also has it on her body, but we are busy doing it. If you live, you will get the taste."

"Especially Brother Xiaotuo, he has helped Auntie a lot, and it was at his request that Auntie brought him to see you." Mother Xu said again.

"No need." The little boy under the quilt covered himself again, "I don't need you..."

Mother Xu sighed, and stretched out her hand to straighten the corner of the little boy's quilt, "When you are almost recovered, come and refuse us."

"Let's go." Mother Xu went out and held Xu Tuo's hand, "We'll come back tomorrow, Xiao Tuo."

Xu Tuo turned his head every three steps, looking at the closed door.

He'll be fine...hopefully the next time I see him, he'll be a little bit fatter.
