He came from the system to save childhood

Tang Chen let go innocently.

"It was just a misunderstanding. I wanted to use the knife for self-defense, but I accidentally cut a child. I'm really sorry~"

Huo Qing glanced around with a grim expression. As expected, this place was a blind spot for surveillance and there was no evidence pointing to Tang Chen.

"Kid, tell me, what's going on?"

But the child was obviously frightened. He just trembled but couldn't make any sound.

Huo Qing felt a little helpless, but he still had to put in some effort to keep up appearances.

"It seems that you are too young to take care of the child. Leave it to me. I will take him home."

There was nothing wrong with what Huo Qing said, so Tang Chen could not refuse. Although he was reluctant, he had plenty of ways to get the pet back.

"You're right. Then... you're going to leave or not?"

Huo Qing didn't care about the frivolous tone in his words, picked up the kid and rushed to the hospital. The wound was not shallow, and if he was not treated early, he might lose his life due to excessive blood loss.

Little did they know that Tang Chen in the shadows behind was brewing even more violent emotions. The little cub saw it and was so scared that he shrank his neck and nestled in Huo Qing's arms.

"Good boy, it's all right now. Where is your home? Can I take you back?"

Huo Qing subconsciously comforted the kid, but the kid did not feel safe.

He just became more timid. He was afraid of Tang Chen, but at least Tang Chen had never abused him in life. But it was different for his father, because all the recent injuries came from his father's abandonment.

Dad always uttered words that made him feel sad all over. The beatings were very painful, and the way dad looked at him was not even as good as the way Tang Chen looked at him.

This is the saddest thing.

The saddest thing is that your father sold you, and then you found that your life after being sold was even more comfortable than being under your father's care, because the little cub has never lived a better life than this.

Life is like this, just like love. You think your lover has enough emotional value, but after you meet someone you don’t love, you realize that the emotional value given to you by the person you love is so low.

"I don't want to go back."

Huo Qing paused, then asked with some difficulty: "Did your family sell you out?"

In recent years, there have been people who, after taking too much risk, have sold their organs and wives, and even their children to rich people with special fetishes. This is a cruel era, and capital has replaced justice.

Someone has to rise up, and this person must have enough sense of justice and, of course, sufficient background. If he doesn't have that, we can only create one.

But it just so happens that Huo Qing has this background and this sense of justice, so Xiao Heqi doesn't mind helping him, which can be regarded as helping the original owner without being ooc.

He has no sense of pain in this world, but he has personally experienced the darkness of the original owner. One can imagine what kind of mentality the original owner, who has the sense of pain, would have to survive with.

Sometimes Xiao Heqi really felt awkward. He always lamented the death of the original owners, but also hoped that they would die. Perhaps death was their only way out. It seemed that he had had this experience before.

Xiao Heqi couldn't remember some of it, but the experiences he had never had flashed vaguely in his recent world, and he seemed to have been glad about his death.

For example, the original owner in the previous life had a morbid psychology outlined on a blank sheet of paper. If he grew up, he might not even be called a human being, but he died in too much pain.

So Xiao Heqi felt unwilling for him, and also felt sad for the atmosphere of this small world. It was also a world suppressed and dominated by capital, but the little ones in the previous world were born in capital and had already lived a miserable life.

Unexpectedly, children born in ordinary families will only be more miserable, and they have no ability to change.

"Dad... doesn't want me anymore."

The little boy's expression was a little dazed, but more of it was sadness. It was rare that he didn't want to go back. The little boy who had been submissive for a long time also wanted to rebel for once.

"It's okay, then stay at my brother's house first. I have a lot of questions for you, so I'll send you back in two days."

The little cub nodded silently. His mother also told him not to bother others too much because no one would help him, so the little cub was grateful even if he was taken in for a few days.

He always falls for the little kindness from others.

There was a private doctor at home. After bandaging the baby, Huo Qing took the baby to have dinner. Of course, the meal was cooked by Huo Qing himself.

He studied abroad for some time, and the food there was really hard to describe, so Huo Qing got used to cooking for himself, and he was happy and enjoyed the results.

The little one enjoyed the meal very much. This is the highest compliment to a cook.

After the cub had eaten and drunk his fill, Huo Qing tentatively asked about the cub's experience.

In fact, he could probably guess it because he heard the roar inside when he was outside the casino, and also because the little boy was sold to Tang Chen by his family.

Everything had already been figured out, but Huo Qing hoped that the little boy could speak it out himself. A child who would never call for help could be saved temporarily but not forever.

He needed the cub to save himself first before he could lend a helping hand.

"I……"

The little cub pursed his lips, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not. The fear he once had once again rose in his heart. His mother said that he couldn't say it out loud, couldn't tell anyone anything, couldn't cry out in pain or call for help.

If others hear it, the little kid might even lose his parents.

And even if he called for help, what would happen? Dad would still not let him go, he would only beat him harder, and Tang Chen would only find him more interesting, and the punishment would only be more severe.

But this time...

The little boy looked at Huo Qing's expectant and encouraging eyes, and felt his inner trust in Huo Qing. Could he... trust Huo Qing just once?

Gently stroking the bulging scar on the side of his cheek, the little cub breathed a sigh of relief.

"I... am not good. My father sold me. He said I was a pet and had to be obedient. Their eyes... are scary. I am not good..."

The little boy's voice gradually choked.

In this world, power and money are like acid rain that corrodes people's hearts. Countless people pursue them and pay for them, and precisely because they have money and power, some things are indulged infinitely.

Children can be bought and sold at will, and adults can be trapped in casinos. Because there is no one to control it, the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, almost swallowing people up.

Xiaozaizai was the victim. Before he met Huo Qing, he didn't even expect anyone to be able to pull him out of the abyss, because everyone around him was the same.

They are also stuck in the quagmire, or become the mud in the quagmire. Naturally, no one will lend a hand, and the suffering clings to the little ones.
