It was at the entrance of the train station. A young woman was holding a four or five-year-old boy. Both the mother and the child were dressed shabbily and dirty. Not only were their clothes dirty, but their bodies were dirty as well. They looked like a mother and son who had been wandering the streets for a long time.
Passersby would pinch their noses and walk past them. There were even people who ran far away. But without exception, as long as a passerby passed by, the woman would hold the child in her arms and kowtow to the passerby.
"Please, kind people, help me. Save my child. Please, save my child …"
The woman's pleas were accompanied by a hoarse voice from crying. It was hoarse and ear-piercing. The child in her arms seemed to be dead as he lay in her arms with his eyes closed. He was emaciated and his hands hung weakly on his mother's arms.
Without exception, everyone who passed by only glanced at them briefly and left after throwing one or two coins. No one stopped to ask how they could help them.
"Child, child, wake up. Mommy is begging you to stop sleeping, okay?" The woman reached out to pick up the coins on the ground and lowered her head to touch the child's face.
It seemed that the mother's tears had woken the child up. The child's eyelids fluttered slightly and then slowly opened weakly.
The little boy opened his eyes and saw his mother's tears. He raised his skinny hand and gently wiped away his mother's tears. "Mommy, don't cry. I won't sleep."
After saying that, the little boy coughed a few times. "Mommy, I feel terrible. I'm in so much pain …"
The little boy's cries of pain made the woman break down. She held the child and wailed. "Baby, I'm sorry. I'm useless. I've made you suffer so much. But I'm begging you, hang in there, okay? You're the only one left in this world. I'm begging you. No matter how painful it is, hang in there, okay? I'll get the money to take you to the hospital soon. Baby, I'm begging you. "
After saying that, the woman kowtowed even harder in the direction of everyone who passed by. The banging sounds scared the passersby and made them run away. There was no extra money in front of her, not even coins.
The four or five-year-old boy was very sensible. Instead, he comforted his mother, "Mom, it doesn't hurt. Just kowtow gently. My heart aches."
He said that it didn't hurt, but he was clearly gritting his teeth, and his face was still covered in cold sweat. This situation clearly told others that he was actually in a lot of pain.
Jiang Yao had never seen such a sensible child. Just because he felt sorry for his mother, he gritted his teeth and swallowed all the pain into his stomach. He didn't even dare to make a sound because of the pain, afraid that if he made a sound, his mother would kowtow even harder.
Jiang Yao tugged at Lu Xingzhi and pointed to the entrance. "Let's go and take a look."
Lu Xingzhi had long noticed that something seemed to be going on at the entrance. The people who were entering and exiting there seemed to be frightened. Some of them even turned back to look.
Jiang Yao pulled Lu Xingzhi to the front, but they did not get close to the mother and son at the door. Lu Xingzhi's eyesight was very good. He could see the people at the door clearly.
"Look at the mother holding the child. Does she look like Brother Ding's daughter who has been missing for many years?" Jiang Yao was surprised by the woman's face. "Does she look like Brother Ding?"
