Although the child almost snatched away his belongings and bitten his hand, Jing Yu still sympathized with him.

"What's going on?" Jing Yu asked hurriedly.

"The thief was caught for stealing a gentleman's scarf and handkerchief. Old Town ordered him to do hard labor. As a result, he was almost out of business after he went there for less than two days. He sent him back and was about to die." Grayson said.

Although I don’t know that ‘Old City’ is the nickname of the Central Criminal Court in London, Jing Yu roughly understands what the hard labor in this era is. After watching the novel and musical of "Les Miserables", the hero Jean Valjean started by stealing bread and being sentenced and then doing hard labor.

Those kind of life is too hard for an adult, let alone a thin child.

After hearing this, Jing Yu felt a little unbearable. He didn't care about what happened before. Instead, he was very concerned about his life and death. He felt that the child's thin body and fatigue were sick. Maybe the medicine he brought could help him.

So he asked Gleason, hoping to take him to see the child, and he decided to see if he could save him.

Patrolman Gleason agreed immediately. Although he could not understand what Jing Yu did, he was determined to please the rich foreign man, so he naturally agreed. However, he had to wait until he finished patrol before he could take Jing Yu over. At that time, it might have been too late.

Jing Yu didn't care about the time. Anyway, he had a patrol officer accompanying him, so there should be no problem with safety.

When he returned to his room, Jing Yu took out some anti-inflammatory drugs and the complex vitamins he had taken with him. In addition, he bought some food in the hotel and prepared to take it there.

When the Gleason Patrol took over, it was already dark and gas lights were lit on the streets.

Jing Yu had already called a two-wheeled carriage and was waiting at the entrance of the hotel. When Gleason arrived, Jing Yu took him to jump on.

The child lived not far from the slum where Jingyu was on the first day. After Gleason told the coachman the address, they set out along the street with the sound of horse hooves.

After walking for a while, there were no gas lights on both sides of the streets. The coachman stopped the car and lit the lights on the car. At this time, Jing Yu noticed that the lighting lamps on the car were not the kind of lanterns he had seen with glass covers that could prevent wind, but the more primitive oil lamps. It didn't seem to use kerosene as if it was some kind of animal fat.

Jing Yu secretly recorded this situation, and it seemed that he might consider "inventing" a horse lantern in the future. As for kerosene, he could inquire about it in the future. He felt that if he remembered correctly, Rockefeller in the United States should have established the American Standard Oil Company at this time, but he was not sure about this. After all, the United States is not the same as the United States in his history.

However, this also reminded him that if he has money in the future, he can go to the United States to see if he can buy some land and drill for oil. In that case, it seems that it is not difficult to become a billionaire.

But I can only think about this. There are still many things in front of me, and I can only talk about these plans later.

Just as Jing Yu was thinking about it, the carriage stopped again and they arrived.

Jing Yu and Gleason got off the carriage and told the coachman not to leave and wait here. The coachman did not agree very much, but after Jing Yu expressed his willingness to give him double the fare, he stopped talking.

Most of the people here are hardworking lower-level workers, and they have some difficulties even having enough food, let alone lighting them with gas lamps. They can't even use candles at home, so when it gets dark, people here take a break early.

Fortunately, they brought lantern lighting from the coachman to barely see clearly. Although it was not raining in London at this time, the air was wet and foggy. The orange light seemed to be unable to penetrate the fog, and could only illuminate the range of one or two meters. If it was a little further away, it would be completely swallowed by the darkness. Jing Yu, who had no watch, probably was from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock at this time. At this time, it was not convenient to take out his mobile phone next to Gleason to see the time, so he could only make an estimate.

Gleason had already found out about their residence when Jing Yu said he was coming. In addition, he had already arrived by patrol during the day, so he easily found a low hut, and Jing Yu couldn't see the situation around him clearly.

But Gleason was not polite. He pushed the door open when he went up, but the door was not tied up.

When the light shone in, people smelled an unpleasant smell in the house before they saw anything. Then they realized that this was a small house that seemed to be crooked. The space inside was not very large. It was just a messy piece of wood directly on the ground like a bed. There was nothing else. Although the area was small, it was still empty.

As for why the pile of rotten wood can be seen as a bed, because there was a short man lying on it, covering something messy, and there was a smaller man sitting next to him, as if he was taking care of him. Then he was frightened by the two people who suddenly broke in and looked at Jing Yu and the others in surprise.

Gleason stepped forward and illuminated the lying with a lantern, "Mr. Jing, it's him!"

The little man in rags next to him was also a child, and seemed to be shivering by the lights. When he found a man in uniform, he was immediately scared and shivered. But when Gleason spoke, the little man said timidly: "Mr. Police, my brother was not escaped, please do not catch him."

Jing Yu heard the other party's voice look like a little girl, but the child's voice was not clear, and he didn't dare to confirm it because of the mess here, but he immediately comforted, "It's okay, this gentleman policeman is not here to catch him, we want to come and see him."

The child seemed not expecting Jing Yu to answer like this, but he cried in fear: "My brother is not a bad guy. He is about to die. Please don't catch him."

Jing Yu had to comfort him repeatedly, and Gleason said that Jing Yu was afraid of scaring the other party.

It seemed that it was only a little relieved to confirm that Jing Yu and the others were not here to capture his brother.

Jing Yu looked at the child on the bed. He could not remember the other person's appearance very clearly, but the child lying on the bed closed his eyes and breathed weakly. Jing Yu tried his forehead, which was so hot that it was a little scary.

"Didn't you look for a doctor?"

"Sir, we have no money"

"It's okay, I'll pay, hurry up and hire a doctor. This child is almost out of reach." Jing Yu ordered.

"There will be no doctors nearby," Gleason explained that the people here are too poor, so poor that it is difficult to afford to see a doctor. If a doctor opens here, he will easily starve to death.

"Mr. Gleason, I'm very sorry, please ask a doctor. This child is almost out of reach, so we can't watch this way." Jing Yu probably didn't know where the little girl could find the doctor, so she could only ask Gleason, who is familiar with this place, to look for it.

"Mr. Jing, it will be very dangerous for you to be here alone." The police advised.

"It's okay, Mr. Gleason, there's no problem with even a child here," said Jing Yu.

Although Gleason was a little reluctant, for his own purposes, he could only go outside as Jing Yu ordered to find a doctor.

So he and these two children were left in the room.

Using the light left by the patrolman, Jing Yu talked to the child and asked about their situation.

It turned out that as Jing Yu guessed, they were brothers and sisters, one of whom was eleven years old and the other was seven years old. The father who worked in the previous two years died in an accident in the factory and only received a few pounds of compensation, which was not enough for the remaining family of three. Soon their mother also died due to sadness and overwork, so the brothers and sisters became orphans and were kicked out of the house and left on the streets.

At that time, because my sister was young, she was begging outside to support her. She was hungry and full, and was targeted by a theft gang. At first, her brother was unwilling to be beaten a lot, but they threatened to sell her sister and became a thief, until now.

This tragic story filled Jing Yu's heart with sympathy. He decided to help the brother and sister. Even if the child did what he did in the past, if the brother could not survive, he would take the girl back to raise her.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again. Jing Yu thought it was Gleason who had returned, but found that there were several people coming in, not Gleason and the doctor.

"Melly, I saw a 'peeler' coming just now?" The person who spoke was a teenager, his small eyes flashing fiercely, and he had a lot of acne on his face. He was wearing a clothes that were much cleaner than others, and asked in a vicious tone.

Jing Yu didn't know what the 'peeler' mean, but he felt that he was in trouble.
