Chapter 6: Child Looking for His Mother
"I am a vulgar person who never likes to pretend to be profound. Why do I suddenly lose my mind when I hear old songs?
A coward like me always has to hold back on everything. How could I ever have thought of risking my life for someone...?

Lu Xian's voice continued, as if completely blending into the atmosphere of the city.

[Emotional Infectivity +56, causing 55 people to be sad at the same time, and a Shut Up skill card has been obtained]

The sudden sound made Chuxia count the people in the food stall. There were 58 people including her, and 56 people were infected, causing 55 people to be sad at the same time?
The lethality is really amazing!
There was shock, resentment, and happiness in the eyes of Song Ruyi and others when they looked at Chuxia.

"Why is there someone sleeping there?"

Xiang Li pointed at the corner of the wall across the street from the food stall, and everyone looked over there.

There was a man with a little boy of about five or six years old.

A simple bed sheet was spread on the ground, and next to them was a sack and a somewhat torn backpack.

The man was squatting on one side, seemingly trying hard to hold back his crying. The little boy next to him was lying on the floor, which was only covered with a sheet, facing the wall.

Chuxia and the others stood up and walked across the street.

When I got closer, I found that the man in short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts had many lumps on his hands, legs, knees and feet.

Severe gout patients.

The little boy who was lying down heard the noise, climbed up and sat next to the man, seeming a little at a loss.

"Why do you live here with a child?"

Chu Xia asked out loud.

When the man heard the voice asking him a question, he raised his head and looked at Chuxia and the others. He didn't speak for a while.

"Have you eaten? Can I treat this kid to a meal?" The man finally spoke, "We have eaten." He pointed to a plastic bag in the corner, which contained a dozen steamed buns.

Chuxia chatted with the man for a few words and they all knew the reason.

The man came to the provincial capital this time to find the child's mother. He met the child's mother when he was working. At that time, she was young and ignorant, and she got pregnant when she had nothing. After the child's mother returned to his hometown with him, she gave birth to Xiao Shitou. But life at home was not easy. He had to take medicine all the time, and he couldn't find a job, so life was even more difficult. When Xiao Shitou was seven or eight months old, the child's mother said she was going out to work. They kept in touch at the beginning, but this contact lasted less than a year, and the child's mother disappeared.

This time, he heard from the villagers that they had seen the child's mother here. It had been five years and the child missed his mother, so he brought the child here to find his mother.

But at the station, his ID card and cell phone were stolen. He had no money and had to sleep here with his child. He has been sleeping here for two days. Normally, he doesn't disturb others because they go to bed late. But today the child was a little unwell so he was seen.

"Little Stone, come with your sister and have a barbecue, okay?"

Chuxia had a kind and friendly smile on his face, and Xiao Shitou looked at his father as if asking for his advice.

The man agreed.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I wasn't crying because of these things. I just couldn't hold back my tears after hearing the song sung by that boy over there."

Lu Xian, whose song made many people cry, did not expect that his song would have such a result.

After finishing, he walked towards Chu Xia.

"Chuxia, thank you." Lu Xian bowed ninety degrees to Chuxia.

Many people gave Lu Xian tips, and some even wanted to invite Lu Xian to sing at the opening ceremony, but the industry that he was inviting to was a bit unfestive.
