The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 202: beggar

After eating, Simon went out with a bag to restock.

Three dogs and one cat are really not edible, and buying groceries every day is a bad thing.

On the way, I saw some discordant scenes. There were beggars and homeless people at the entrances of the alleys, the trash cans, and even the stools by the roadside. They huddled in the corners, trying hard not to find them.

Many of these beggars are not very old. There were not so many before, but today there are more.

Especially when we arrived at the vegetable market, there were many small beggars squatting outside the dirty vegetable market, looking at the vendors and the crowd timidly.

Simon frowned even more.

Walking into the vegetable market and in front of a meat stall, the owner of the meat stall saw Simon as if he saw his father. He nodded and said hello: "Uncle Simon, you are here to buy meat again."

"Why don't you come here to buy meat?"

"Or the old rules?"

"We weighed 30 pounds more today."

"Okay!" The meat stall owner smiled even more happily.

"Bring me fresh meat, don't fool me with yesterday's meat."

"Look at what you said, how dare I. You are my uncle, and I expect you to come to me every day to buy meat."

Simon went for a spin and came back with a big bag of vegetables and fruits.

"Why are there so many beggars and homeless here today." Simon asked suspiciously.

"You said that the beggars outside are all from Xiacheng District. Don't you know about the severe rat plague a few days ago, the city hall dispatched a lot of military police, and you heard the sound of gunfire. Many families are broken up. When you came in, you should see that many of those beggars were very young. Their parents died in the rat plague. They could not survive in the Xiacheng District at such a young age, so they fled here."

"Every time we close the market here, there will be some rotten vegetables and minced meat, and these beggars will come to fight for it."

"Alas, just last night, a seven- or eight-year-old beggar scrambled for food with a stray dog, and was bitten to death by the stray dog. The body was destroyed by the stray dog ​​in a mess. It was very miserable."

"This world is getting harder and harder."

The meat stall owner talks a lot. When Simon asks anything, he can always say a lot of things.

"But these little beggars will disappear soon."

"why is that."

"These little beggars are helpless and suitable coolies. How could the gangsters in the outer city let them go. It is estimated that these little beggars will be captured in a few days and sent to black factories and kilns. Good luck A little bit is taken over by the gang, and I don’t know when they will be corpses on the street.

It’s good to die, to die early and be born early. Maybe in the next life, you may have a good baby and enjoy the glory and wealth like you. "

"Your meat is cut."

Simon put a few tickets on the stand and picked up the bag.

"Tsk tsk tsk, uncle, you really don't have the strength to say that I can't compare to you when I work every day." The meat stall owner praised.

"See you later." Simon smiled. With the practice of the sequence secret method, the magic energy is constantly nourishing the body, and his physical quality is getting stronger and stronger.

When walking out of the vegetable market, Simon looked at the little beggars squatting around, and turned back blankly.

Simon walked to a stand selling roasted sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato seller was an old man who nodded to Simon and said, "Boss, do you want to bake sweet potatoes?"

"I've got all these roasted sweet potatoes," Simon said.

"I'll pack it for you." The old man selling sweet potatoes blushed with joy. He picked up a torn bag and began to pack roasted sweet potatoes. He was not afraid of being hot, and grabbed the freshly roasted sweet potatoes, for fear that Simon would not buy them.

"keep the change."

Simon went out with the bag and walked towards a messy alley next to a vegetable market.

As soon as Simon's figure appeared, he "swiped" immediately, and several eyes fell on him.

Because of the smell of roasted sweet potatoes, these ragged homeless people swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and their noses twisted slightly, as if they would be full after a few more sniffs. When they found Simon, their shrinking eyes immediately lowered. They could see that Simon was a rich man.

They are naturally afraid of rich people, but when Simon walks into the dirty alley, the cowering eyes of a few older homeless people begin to turn into greed.

There are homeless people whispering.

At this time, a little beggar flew to Simon, knelt on the ground, showing his leaking teeth, kept kowtow to him,

"Master, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for two days."

The little beggar in front of Simon, unkempt, wearing a tattered sportswear, with half of the left trousers missing, a dirty face, very ordinary looking, just a pair of eyes, and he should be a smart boy.

The other little beggars craned their necks to watch, and wanted to go up, but they hesitated and did not dare to go forward because they were afraid that Simon would get angry.

"Get up, come with me." Simon glanced at him and said.

Simon walked forward, and the little beggar whispered: "You can't go there. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Simon ignored it and walked into the alley. The little beggar glanced around and saw the malicious eyes cast by those older homeless people.

The little beggar hesitated, looked at Simon's back, got up as fast as he gritted his teeth, and ran over.

Simon was standing in the alley, and the little beggar limped over.

"Master, let's go, those homeless people are so hungry, they can do anything."

Glancing at the boy's left leg, the left foot and the right foot are not the same length, they are long and short legs.

Such a young man was still born in Xiacheng District. If he was lucky, he might be able to live to adulthood with the help of some well-wishers and the cold leftovers on the streets.

If you are unlucky, you will probably be arrested by the gangsters and work day and night in a black factory until you die of exhaustion, or because of hunger, or be beaten to death one night, and then the next morning, you will be thrown into the stench Inside the icy corpse collection vehicle, it was incinerated along with other corpses.

Although he is very young, he has clearly seen these two future paths, so he will do his best to seize any opportunities that may arise.

For example, at this moment, he mustered up the courage to follow Simon and tried his best to express himself, hoping to seize the opportunity to change his miserable fate.

Simon raised his eyes and looked forward, and several homeless people ran over.

"Uncle, hurry up, I will help you stop them." The little beggar said with courage.

Simon was indifferent, and the little beggar was very anxious.

Five homeless surrounded Simon, staring greedily at the roasted sweet potatoes and bags of meat in Simon's hands.

A homeless man in his 40s and 50s grabbed the little beggar's head and threw it back. The little beggar fell to the ground.
