"Little kid, don't touch it if you don't want to buy it. You can't afford to pay for it if it gets damaged. Just do what you have to do," a vendor sitting in a wicker chair in a daze shouted to Erniu.

"Okay boss" Erniu replied with a smile. What the boss said is correct.

It didn't take long for Er Niu to wander to the deli meat stall.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!" followed a shout. I saw a woman chasing a little boy about ten years old.

The child was sallow and thin, with messy hair. He was holding a money bag in his small black hand and was running nervously in the direction of Erniu. He was pushed to the ground by a big man less than two feet away.

Those who are young do not learn well and imitate others to steal. The big man yelled righteously.

Uncle, please, let me go. I have no choice but to steal things. My mother is in critical condition now and needs to take medicine, otherwise my mother will die. The little boy began to cry as he spoke.

At this time, the woman also caught up and grabbed the money bag. Thanks to the big man. Then he yelled at the little boy: What does your mother's life and death have to do with us? Then you steal my money. You are a little beast who has no one to care about your life. I will arrest you and report you to the official, put you in jail and let you do whatever you want. He said that he was going to report to the official while grabbing hold of him.

When the little boy saw that he was about to be thrown into jail, he quickly broke away and cried while shouting: No! Don't arrest me. If I go there, no one will care about my mother. If I go, my mother will not only get sick but also starve to death. Please don’t arrest me and report me to the police.

The big man turned back to the woman and said: Sister, see if you have any losses and you have recovered the money. Otherwise, don't report to the police. The child is still young. This kid looks like a miserable person. If I hadn't encountered something, I definitely wouldn't have done it this way. You think, why not forget it?

Well, you little beast is lucky today. You met this kind uncle to intercede for you, otherwise I would have arrested you and reported you to the official. He said and let go of the hand holding the little boy's arm. Walk away.

The big man said to the little boy: Don't do that stealing thing again. If you do it again, no one may be able to help you. If you have the hands and feet, go do some work and contribute your own efforts to make money. Even if it is small, the money you make is clean. The boy thanked the big man and said he would never do this again. With that said, the big man also left.

The little boy was already very hungry. His weak and thin body stood up unsteadily and then sat down again. Rest there. Erniu didn't say anything when he saw this. After buying the meat he needed at this meat stall, all his money was spent. But looking at the little boy who was about the same age as himself, he looked very pitiful, and then he hesitated and came to the little boy. He took out a big elbow from the bamboo basket and handed it over. He said to the little boy: "Eat. Only when you are full can you have the strength to make money. I don't have any extra money to help you. Because my second uncle is coming, I can afford to buy meat."

The little boy saw the big elbow in front of him and drooled from his mouth. After thanking Er Niu, he took it and took a few bites. He reluctantly put it away and stopped eating. Seeing this, the two cows asked the little boy puzzled: Why don't you eat? Don't you like eating meat?

At this time, the little boy said to Er Niu: He thought that his mother had not eaten yet. I want to take such a good thing back to my mother to eat. Thank you for your help. I also thank you on behalf of my mother.

Erniu also looked moved after learning about it. They are both filial children.

The two are similar in age and get along better. After a while we started chatting.

My name is Yunchen, and everyone calls me Erniu. My family is from Yunshan Village.

My name is Zhang Hao. I have no fixed place to live, and now I am building a shed in an open space outside the city. Thank you Erniu.

It's okay, who bumped into me? Our rural children are so simple and unpretentious. Ha ha. Did you just say that your mother was sick? Erniu asked.

"Yes, my mother is sick and I don't have money to go to a doctor. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have done this. I had no choice but to see that my mother couldn't be cured. I feel so unwilling!" Zhang Hao He said with a sad look on his face.

Erniu was deeply touched when he heard this, after all, his mother was dying at the time. Er Niu was also anxious and uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Erniu planned to go to his house to see if he could help him. Although Erniu was not a doctor, he had been exposed to it since he was a child and his father also wanted to teach him. So Erniu can be considered a dabbler. But compared to the situation where Zhang Hao didn’t understand anything. Er Niu is a bit more understanding.

oh? Then take me to your home to have a look. I know a little bit about it. See if I can help you with anything.

Can you see a doctor? Zhang Hao asked suspiciously. It’s not that Zhang Hao doesn’t believe it. But he is about the same age as me. I don’t have anything to ask for now, can he give me medical treatment? Zhang Hao still felt that he was comforting himself.

Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't believe it, Erniu also said that his father was a doctor and he also knew some medical skills. I couldn't understand that he also had my father. If it doesn't work then I'll talk to my father and ask him to help.

Hearing what Er Niu said, Zhang Hao also believed the fact that Er Niu had some medical skills. After all, he didn't have the money to take his mother to see a doctor, so he took Er Niu to see a doctor. Maybe it will be taken care of in case. Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, beg him to talk to his father and be accommodating. He'll see a doctor first and then give him the money after he earns it.

After making up his mind, Zhang Hao agreed. Okay Erniu, come with me. As he spoke, Zhang Hao climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and the two of them walked out of the city gate one after another.

After leaving the city gate and walking for about one stick of incense, I saw a pile of houses made of broken wood in the distance. Some leaves were stuffed into the gaps in the house to block the wind.

Zhang Hao said to Er Niu awkwardly. This is my home. My father died when I was very young. It was my mother who raised me up. One time when she went up the mountain to look for food, she accidentally stepped on the air and broke her leg. Later, our family’s life became even more difficult. From then on, I took on the responsibility of taking care of the family. Go to the city to beg or go to the mountains to collect some food every day to fill your stomach. Until a few days ago, my mother fell ill. We don't have money to go to the doctor. In addition, eating is also a problem, so you will know later.

Erniu was very moved after hearing this. After all, although Erniu's family is not rich, they can still guarantee daily food and drink. It's not like Zhang Hao who has to work hard to make a living.

Then Zhang Hao took Er Niu into the house.

After entering the house, it was very dark inside. Although the gaps in the roof were blocked with leaves, there was still some sunlight coming in. The furnishings in the room are very simple. The largest thing taking up the space is a bed. Lying on the bed is a woman. She is very old and has a very ugly face. Her pale face has deep wrinkles and her clothes are also patched. Followed by a patch. The loose clothes make the body look thinner. The only furnishings in the room were a few old tables, chairs and benches. There are several chipped bowls on the table. Beyond that there is nothing.
