Unfair Love of Mr Mu - chapter 4

Chapter 4

When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a shabby room, with some waste paper and newspapers piled on the ground. Not far from me, a woman was tidying up something with her head down. I was a bit confused, struggling to sit up from the bed, and as soon as I moved, a sharp pain came from the back of my head, and I couldn’t help but groan. The woman heard the noise, turned her head to look at me, saw that I had woken up, and was actually excited and excited to pounce on the bedside, with a strange hoarse voice of “ah ah” coming out of her mouth.

I was startled by her action and shrank back.

Seeing my action, the woman actually looked aggrieved with a pout. She looked at least 40 years old, and showing such a childlike expression made me feel at a loss and at a loss.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a more mature woman in plain clothes came in. Seeing that I had woken up, she hurried over and said with a smile, “Young man, you’re awake? Are you okay? Does your head still hurt?”

I nodded to her, and then looked at her in doubt.

The woman smiled and explained to me, and then I understood what was going on.

It turned out that when I went to the hotel to find a place to stay that day, I probably met a little thug who was squatting and robbing. After being knocked unconscious, my things were robbed, and I was thrown to the garbage dump by the alley entrance. The mute woman who was picking up garbage, who I just woke up to see, carried me back. And the woman named Aunt Li, who lives not far from the mute woman, often takes care of her because she is pitiful.

“Her?… Carried me back?” I looked at the thin woman and asked in amazement.

“Yes! That day really scared me, how could she carry a big man back in good condition! We just got you to bed, and Ah Xiu fell to the ground with soft legs.” Aunt Li said here, shaking her head and laughing.

I was speechless for a while, if it wasn’t for the mute woman, I don’t know how many days I would lie in that garbage dump. But even if I died there, no one would care.

“Thank you.” I nodded to the mute woman, she looked at me with a smile, and suddenly reached out and touched my head.

I was stunned there, and Aunt Li hurriedly came over and pulled down her hand, looking at me a bit embarrassed and said, “I’m sorry, Ah Xiu is a bit mentally ill here.” She said, pointing to her own head.

The mute woman looked at Aunt Li unhappily, struggling to get her hand free, she probably didn’t understand what she had done wrong. Maybe in her view, touching her head is just a way to show intimacy and liking. I don’t know why, but I feel very sad in my heart. Why is such a good person so harshly treated by fate? Why are these kind, simple, and shining the most beautiful brilliance in the soul, but偏偏live at the bottom of society and live in the most difficult environment?

Thinking of this, I gave a self-mocking smile in my heart, and what right do I have to sympathize and pity them with a high and lofty attitude? My life is actually not as good as theirs.

“Young man, I have a phone at home. Would you like to go and inform your family so that they can come to pick you up?” Aunt Li said next to me.

I stiffened all over, “It’s okay… my… my family is from another place, so I won’t let them worry.” I suddenly realized something, “Thank you very much for your care these days, I’m leaving now.” I lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but as soon as I sat up, I felt dizzy and had to stop moving. Aunt Li and the mute woman rushed over at the same time and pressed me back to bed, “Don’t worry! Where can you go now without a penny on you! You still have a big bump on the back of your head, lie down and slow down first.” Aunt Li sighed, “People always have a difficult time, don’t worry. I’ll go and get you something to eat first.” I smiled at her gratefully, but my heart was bitter.

After Aunt Li went out, the mute woman stayed by me, her eyes full of deep worry. I was a bit sleepy, the initial shock and unease faded away, and now I felt tired for some reason.

“I’m fine.” I smiled at her.

She looked at me blankly, and I made a “thank you” gesture with difficulty, and finally fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already dark outside, and the whole room was so quiet that I couldn’t hear a sound. It’s probably already late at night. I was so thirsty that my throat was on fire. I thought for a while and slowly got up to find water, it’s really not easy to disturb others at this time. The head was still hurting badly, and the whole person was a bit dizzy, those people would knock harder, I guess I would wake up.

Feeling my way to the table in front of the bed, there was a kettle on it, and as soon as I picked it up, I found it was empty. Looking around, I was sure there was nothing related to water in this room, so I had to open the door and go out. With the light from outside the house, I saw a tap on the wall edge, walked over in a few steps, and turned on the tap, and the water flowed out. I was relieved and stretched out my hand to hold some water, but before I could touch my lips, my hand was pulled away, and the water was shaken out. I looked up in surprise, and the mute woman was standing in front of me, shaking her head desperately. I patiently pointed to the water and made a gesture of drinking water with my hand cupped like a cup. She still shook her head at me, then turned off the tap, led me into the room, turned on the light, and then walked out by herself. I sat on the bed a bit depressed, not knowing how to let her understand that I wanted to drink water.

After a while, the mute woman walked in again, holding a small pot in her hand. She carefully walked up to me, put the pot on the table next to me, and opened the lid. I could see that there were three boiled eggs inside.

She put the pot on the table next to it, took out an egg from it, knocked it on the edge of the pot, and after the eggshell cracked, she began to peel it carefully.

I watched her blankly, she actually looked very good-looking, but there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her skin was rough. At this time, her expression was so focused that I didn’t dare to disturb her.

When people are sick, they always want to be taken care of and cared for.

It’s obviously a very small pain and discomfort, because the people who care about you are distressed and concerned, so those pains are infinitely magnified, you have to be wronged and coquettish and cry, and then take it for granted to enjoy more tolerance. Before, when I was with Yi Tian, I had a migraine for a while, and I cooked Chinese medicine at 6 o’clock every morning and drank it for three months. But I still didn’t get a caring inquiry. In fact, it’s not a big deal, and I don’t have the qualification and position to accuse Yi Tian of being indifferent to me, but looking at this woman who I just met for less than a day and is now sitting in front of my bed peeling eggs for me, I feel sad and speechless. People who are sick always want to be taken care of and cared for.
