Chapter 24 The poor man of the times

"Sister, sister!"

On the streets of Gewu Town, just after coming out of a pastry shop, a dirty little girl with torn clothes ran to Guina, looked at Guina with pleading eyes and shouted weakly.

"Children, are you doing something? Are you unable to find your parents?"

Seeing the little girl who was only four or five years old looking at her begging, Guina asked with a smile and squatted down.

"Sister, can you give me some money? I'm so hungry!" The little girl looked at Guina begging, biting her lip, and stretching out her dirty little hand.

"Gululu..."

At this moment, a protest broke out in the little girl's belly.

"I'll give you the cake that my sister just bought." Seeing this, Guina immediately opened the bag in her hand, took out a box of cakes and placed it on the little girl's hand.

"Sister, I...gudong..." Looking at the cake in front of me, looking at the beautiful buttercream decoration on the cake, the little girl hesitated and swallowed hard.

"Eat quickly!" Guina smiled and said with a smile: "If it's not enough, my sister still has it here."

"No, sister." Hearing this, the little girl shook her head firmly and begged, "Sister, I don't want to eat... I don't want to eat cake. I want to eat something else. Can I give me some money to buy something else?"

After saying that, the little girl firmly but reluctantly pushed the cake back to Guina.

But the little girl's desire and reluctance still betrayed the little girl's desire. Guina knew that this child actually wanted to eat cake.

'Maybe the cake is too expensive! What a good kid.' Guina thought in her heart, and smiled and opened her wallet and took out a thousand Baileys and put them on the little girl's hand. She put the cake again on the little girl's hand, and said with a smile: "You can also take the cake, my sister bought a lot."

"Thank you sister, thank you sister." After getting the money, the little girl bowed to Guina in her arms and thanked her, then turned around and ran to the alley on the street.

"Brother Wang, she is so pitiful!"

Looking at the little girl's dirty back running away, Guina said to Wang Han with some pity, feeling a little depressed.

"They are really pitiful." Hearing this, Wang Han looked at the alley where the little girl ran into. He shook his head and said, "Did you find it?"

"What did you discover?" Guina looked at Wang Han in confusion.

"Look at the eyes of the residents and passers-by around you." Wang Han said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Guina immediately observed and looked at the people passing by and residents around her. The eyes of these people were either indifferent or pity. Some residents pointed at this place in the distance, not knowing what they were saying.

"Brother Wang, why are they all so indifferent and don't help that little girl?" Guina asked Wang Han strangely.

"Are you cold? Maybe you don't want to do useless work! You will find out soon!" Wang Han shook his head. "Sometimes, kindness is also a tool that can be used by others."

"Kindness is also a tool that can be used by others!" Guina repeated Wang Han's words and thought about why Wang Han said that.

"Sister, sister!" At this moment, another five or six-year-old girl ran to Guina, looked at Guina begging, and stretched out her dirty little hand: "Can sister give me some money to eat? I'm hungry!"

"Guruglu..." Her stomach was also so hungry that she screamed.

Looking at the dirty little girl in front of her, Guina turned her head unbearably and looked at Wang Han. After Wang Han's reminder, she knew that these children had problems. Although she didn't know what the problem was, Guina knew that Wang Han would tell her the answer.

"They are just some poor children. If you want to give them, give them as much as you want! We don't lack these. But it's better to give them some money." Wang Han said with a smile, not stopping Guina.

"Yeah." Guina nodded, opened the bag and placed a box of pastries in the little girl's hand.

The little girl was about to speak, but she saw Guina open her wallet again and took out a thousand Baileys and gave it to the child.

"Thank you sister, thank you sister." After bowing and thanking twice, he also ran to an alley not far away.

"Sister, sister..."

At this moment, three or four more children ran over and surrounded Guina, stretching out their dirty little hands to look at Guina begging.

"Sister, please give us some money to buy things. We are so hungry!"

Looking at the dirty children in front of me, I heard almost the same words as the two children before me. Each of them was dirty, their clothes were very ragged, and they were so hungry that they were cooing alone.

"Brother Wang Han." Guina looked at Wang Han again.

"Just decide for yourself." Wang Han just smiled.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Guina nodded, took out all the pastries she had just bought and distributed them to these children, and each of them gave them a thousand Baileys.

"Thank you sister, thank you sister." After getting the money, the children all bowed politely to Guina and then ran towards the alley together.

"Brother Wang, what's going on?" After the children left, Guina looked at the alley where the children ran into and asked Wang Han, with a little sadness and anger in her tone. She had guessed something, but she was not sure.

"Money has great temptation, which will tempt those who are not strong-minded and have bad intentions to embark on the road of crime." Hearing this, Wang Han shook his head sadly. "This is the time, and only in this way can these children continue to live sadly."

"Brother Wang, I still don't understand very much." Upon hearing this, Guina shook her head.

"Oh!" Wang Han sighed and said, "In this era of great voyage, there are too many evil people. People who use their pirates to do adventurers' things are always rare. More people have become real pirates after going out to sea, just like they encountered that night, burning, killing, looting, and committing evil deeds."

"These children are unfortunate. Too many people have died on the sea. Their parents are only a small part of them. Without their parents, they are pitiful people in the times. If they want to survive, they can only be slaughtered until they die in an unknown dark corner one day."

"Brother Wang Han, you mean that these children are manipulated, right!" Guina said.

"That's right." Wang Han nodded.

"Why don't they run away? If they run away, they will be free." Guina asked again.

"Not everyone is Guina, and has the power to defeat adults." Wang Han said with a smile: "They are just ordinary children. Escape will only die faster for these helpless and unrestrained children. Although they are enslaved by evil people, at least they can live."

"Isn't anyone taking them in?" Guina asked, with expectations in her eyes, expecting Wang Han to say that she has. It is her expectation for this era.

"Of course, there are people who have taken them in. There are still many people who have not lost their conscience in the sea." Wang Han said after hearing this, then shook his head, paused for a moment before continuing: "It's just... in this turbulent sea, how many people are capable of taking them in. How many people can take them in? There are too many orphans in this era. Among these huge orphans, these controlled children are already lucky."

Upon hearing this, Guina was silent for a while and said, "Brother Wang Han, I want to help these children. Will you help these children?"

"Have you decided?" Hearing this, Wang Han looked at Guina with serious eyes.

"I've decided." Guina nodded heavily, looked at Wang Han with a firm look, and said, "No matter what this era is, I will not give up these children. They should not be pitiful people in this era."

"Since you have decided, just do whatever you want. No matter what you want, I will always support you." Seeing Guina's firm gaze, Wang Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Wang Han." Upon hearing this, Guina smiled happily, and then bowed deeply to Wang Han. "I thank you on behalf of the helpless children in the sea."

"Those children are still waiting for you." Wang Han said with a smile.

"Yeah." Guina nodded heavily, and rushed into the alley not far away with a knife.
