It was understandable that they would think like that. After all, such things happened quite often. If one were to be infected by them, it would be disastrous. No one wanted to provoke such troubles. It was not because they were heartless.
Qin Yue was very pleased with the boy's actions. The reason he could do this was likely because of his age, after all, a child this young might not have such a sinister heart. Naturally, he wouldn't think as deeply as an adult.
Furthermore, in his current situation, there was no need to worry about being blackmailed. He himself did not have money, and if someone came looking for him, he did not have the money to pay them. Naturally, no one would do such a foolish thing.
After standing still and staring at the boy for a while, Qin Yue and Ouyang Xueling walked over and sat on the bench.
”What's your name?” Qin Yue looked at him and asked.
The boy was surprised that he was talking to him. ”Are you talking to me?”
”That's right. If not, who else could I talk to?” Qin Yue said with a smile.
”My name is Liu Feng.” The boy himself, I said. ”He's twelve today.”
After chatting for a while, Qin Yue gained a better understanding of Liu Feng.
In the year before last, his parents had accidentally eaten a poisonous mushroom and unluckily died. At that time, he was only ten years old, and had no ability to survive in the mountain by himself, so he had no choice but to come to the city alone.
At the beginning, some people would even pitifully give him a few pieces of change, or even some food. With these things, he would barely be able to survive.
But he appeared here every day, and the people who gave him things gradually dwindled. In the end, not a single person remained.
After hearing what he had to say, Qin Yue asked, ”Then what are you living on right now?”
”Sometimes, I pick up a few bottles and go to the junkyard to sell them for some money. Sometimes, I can see that there are leftovers in the trash can that I can eat.” Liu Feng said honestly.
He had never felt that doing this was very humiliating. In his opinion, being able to live was already a very good thing, there was no way to estimate so many things.
Qin Yue felt his heart ache for him. Being able to experience so many things at such a young age was truly too heartbreaking.
Ouyang Xueling looked at him and asked, ”My house is relatively large, it is very spacious, and I also have a room to live in, and I even have food, are you willing to go?”
”Are you saying you want me to come and stay with you?” Liu Feng asked in disbelief.
Ouyang Xueling nodded his head, ”That's right, I am inviting you there. After you go to my house, you don't need to pick up anything to eat, you still have a place to stay, and you can wear clean clothes, are you willing?”
Liu Feng did not answer, but looked at the two of them with a face of caution, ”Why are you two being so good to me?”
”I didn't expect him to be this vigilant, but Qin Yue smiled and said,” It's because I also had times when things were as difficult as yours, so I understand how you feel now. I also wanted to help you as much as I could, but I don't know if you're willing.
After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Feng agreed immediately.
