He found a small restaurant and ordered a plate of braised pork, which Fan Kang devoured.
I have no choice but to live with an old lunatic, eat politely and starve to death. This is all forced upon me!
However, only halfway through eating, Fan Kang stopped.
Outside the display window, a skinny child was lying on the glass. His sunken eyes, wolf-like glasses shining with hunger, stared at the braised pork on the plate. His throat was still moving, as if he was swallowing.
saliva.
Fan Kang was stunned.
Seeing this poor baby, he couldn't help but think of his own childhood, where the evil old lunatic forced himself like this, often eating one meal without eating another, and even going several days without touching the taste of meat.
At that time, I was also looking through the window, watching the people inside eating large pieces of meat. I couldn't understand the feeling of hunger and thirst that I had to experience it myself.
"Come in, I'll treat you to some meat."
Fan Kang waved and showed a cute smile, like a doll smiling, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
The child pointed at himself, then at the braised pork, but he swallowed involuntarily.
Fan Kang nodded, and naturally asked the waiter to bring him a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and cooked two more dishes, all of which were meat.
"Thank you, you are such a good person! I haven't eaten in two days."
The child was so pitifully thin, almost skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He was the opposite extreme of Fan Kang, who was like a pink doll.
This kid was not polite. When he picked up the chopsticks, he was in a hurry. His fierceness seemed to be equal to that of the old lunatic.
Half the plate was wiped out in one go.
"Sorry, I'm really hungry..."
Only then did the skinny kid feel a little embarrassed.
Fan Kang smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm even hungrier than you when I'm hungry! Don't worry, there's more."
After a while, two more dishes were served. The thin monkey was not polite, and he cleaned them up with three strokes, five by two, and there was no need to wash the dishes at all.
It seems that this child is really hungry.
Fan Kang did not eat, but watched the thin monkey with great interest.
In today's society, no matter how bad the family is, they will never be without food, unless they are homeless people without parents.
After the thin monkey finished eating, he stared blankly at Fan Kang, with tears welling up in his eyes. He looked so pitiful, and his lips were moving, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Fan Kang hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you not full yet? Do you want some more?"
"No... I've eaten enough, but... I just think about my younger brothers and sisters who are still hungry. They don't know if they can survive, and I feel sad."
Fan Kang couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although he was young, his rich experience would be beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime. After following the old madman for these years, he could be said to be used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people. If he hadn't been born with a happy heart,
My childlike innocence may have seen through the world of mortals.
He looks very young, but he actually has a side that has experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Seeing the thin monkey lamenting, he smiled slightly and said: "So you are not an orphan, but I don't understand. Today's society is not bad, so it should be no problem to have enough food! Why does it sound like your family is in such a miserable condition that you can't even eat?
It’s like I’m not full.”
A trace of fear flashed in the thin monkey's eyes, and he said: "It's true that we are orphans, but we are not free orphans."
He gritted his teeth and said with shame: "You are such a good person, and I can't bear to deceive you anymore. In fact, we are all orphans abducted by Big Buck Tooth. We are begging for money for him. If we fail to complete the task, we will go hungry."
