Chapter 907 The boy's request for help
The boy struggled hard, "Let me go!"
"Asshole, I-"
Because his collar suddenly tightened, the boy was forced to swallow the words that were about to come out.
"I told you, kids, don't swear."
Xiao Xiao put the boy down, but reached out and held his arm, "I think we need to talk."
The boy struggled all the way and was brought by Xiao Xiao to a flower bed in a corner of the road.
Because they had seen the young man about to hit someone just now, no one objected to the fact that Xiao Xiao was acting a bit like kidnapping a child.
I just think that such naughty children need to be properly educated.
How can you beat someone in the street?
"Quiet."
"If you don't want me to send you to the police station."
As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, the young man's body stiffened and he finally calmed down.
Then he still looked timid and said, "Police station?"
"Why are you sending me to the police station?!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Oh, you didn't do anything?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"It wasn't there in the first place!"
The young man said stubbornly.
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
What a bad luck.
How come I met such a nosy guy for the first time?
"What's your name?"
Xiao Xiao changed the question.
"Why should I tell you?"
The boy looked disdainful, but he was not a fool.
"Why did you steal the money?"
Xiao Xiao changed the question without caring.
"You are the one who stole the money!"
After the initial loud voice, the boy realized something and lowered his voice, "Did I steal it?"
"I didn't steal at all!"
He was telling the truth.
He wanted to steal.
However, just when he was about to succeed, he was stopped by the person in front of him.
Regardless of anything else, as a result, he did not steal.
The young man looked righteous, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.
Xiao Xiao:.
"quibble."
"If you don't answer my questions properly-"
"I think I should send you to the police station and let the police contact your parents. Then I will talk to your parents about whether you have a theft problem."
"do not want!"
The boy yelled, "Don't look for my mother!"
The boy's slightly red eyes were like a small animal whose reverse scale had been stepped on, and all the thorns on his body stood up.
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
The teenager's behavior did not seem like that of a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being found out by his parents, but rather that he did not want his parents to worry about it.
His expression softened slightly.
What happened today might really just be a matter of one thought for this child.
"So, tell me, why did you want to steal the money just now?"
Looking at the boy's anxious red eyes and his stubborn and fierce expression, Xiao Xiao continued to ask, "Is this your first time taking action?"
"Or has it already been-"
"first!"
The young man interrupted Xiao Xiao in a bad mood, with a rather aggressive and fierce expression.
Xiao Xiao's face was calm. He stared at the boy for a while, until the boy could no longer bear it and looked away, then he spoke again, "I believe what you said."
"That was your first move."
"That's what it is."
The boy muttered quietly.
Xiao Xiao ignored the boy's interruption and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I don't really want to know why you did this."
He already knew that the teenager was not a habitual offender, and because he had tried to stop him, the other party still failed to steal, so there was no need for him to call the police.
Just know this.
more-
He is not a policeman, nor a psychological counselor. If the other party is unwilling to tell him, he has no intention of investigating further.
"Just don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
"Next time, if you are caught, the other party may not be as easy to talk to as I am."
"You don't want your mother to worry, do you?"
Thinking of what the boy had blurted out before, Xiao Xiao added another sentence.
Sure enough, a conflicted look appeared on the boy's face.
Since he cared so much about his mother's feelings, he thought that the boy would not go astray.
Because if he did that, his mother would be sad.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go home."
Xiao Xiao straightened up and said, "Your mother should be cooking dinner."
He is going home too.
Just as he was about to continue saying goodbye, he vaguely heard the boy opposite him who lowered his head say something.
It seems like. "No"?
Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky; the color of the sunset became darker and darker.
A palette of deep red and light red, so complex and beautiful that it is hard to describe with words.
He sighed inwardly.
Now that I've heard it, I have to ask.
What's more, the boy looked like a little beast that had been forced into a desperate situation.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
It is very different from the previous aggressive behavior.
The boy was actually asking him for help just now, right?
He looked at the boy, "What's wrong?"
"What's not there?"
"Is mom still at work, so no one is home?"
He made a guess.
"Mother."
The boy's voice was very soft and he stopped talking halfway, his hands hanging at his sides clenched tightly together.
All the blood color faded from his tightly pursed lips.
Xiao Xiao did not urge him, but waited quietly for the boy to finish his words.
The boy suddenly raised his head, his eyes still red, but with a desperate expression on his face, "Mom is sick!"
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
"Mom is sick."
"It's a very serious illness."
Now that he had started, the boy no longer had any reservations. However, his next words were still a little sporadic and incoherent due to nervousness. "The hospital couldn't find the cause."
"It seems to be this, it seems to be that, there is no definitive answer."
"I took a lot of medicine."
"My mother's health did improve in the first few days after she took the medicine, but after a while, her health deteriorated again."
"The hospital bills are too expensive, so my mother insisted on going home."
“I don’t want to take medicine anymore.”
"If it's useless anyway, don't waste your money."
"My mother won't listen to me no matter what I say."
"I'm scared."
"My mom always told me at first that she was fine, that she was OK."
"But I know that my mother's health is getting weaker day by day."
"Mom is spending more and more time in bed."
"I'm about to die."
The boy's voice was hoarse, and even though he tried hard to suppress it, it still sounded like crying.
"Sorry, I know. It was rude."
"but-"
"Please, please save mom!"
"Sorry. Sorry."
"But, but"
"I have no choice."
"I don't know either"
The boy was a little overwhelmed.
With desperate desperation.
He knew that he was despicable because he knew the other person was a good person, but he still relied on him.
He once saw a thief being caught in the act.
