Someone started shouting" Hey kid get lost from here this is not a place where you can come." a few more started following him and looked at him with disgust and told him to go away.
I just stared at them and said " I'm here for a checkup, I have money I can get a checkup. What does it matter to you, Is this your home?"
Security guards of the clinic came to me as someone complained about a smelly kid coming to the hospital. The guards came with batons and started threatening me. "I could only go back as I don't even have energy to argue with the people. I was hungry as I didn't eat anything from yesterday."
He stayed unconscious for a whole day, he made his way towards the medical store to fetch some medicine. I had a few cents left in my pocket which could get me some bandages and some cream to apply on burns.
While I was going towards the medicine store I saw a little girl running behind a cat from the opposite lane instead of stopping for the pedestrian crossing light to turn green. Seeing her running on the busy road, a lot of people started shouting.
The girl was able to avoid all the moving cars and almost reached my end. I saw a black sedan coming at high speed, I could foresee the girl getting hit by the car. I instinctively jumped towards the girl, that's when I realized the wounds that I had. I threw the girl towards the pedestrian and jumped back, but the car edge still hit my leg.
I could hear the bone breaking sound from my leg and the inertia due to the car force had thrown me towards the lamp post. My body hit the lamp post and stopped. I realized I had taken lots of hits on my body from the last few days.
I saw the little girl crying, she got a small scratch on her knee because of being thrown away. Lots of people moved towards the girl and took her up and started consoling.
Some came towards me, I could hear a few people saying "That boy is very brave, he risked his life to save someone." After coming close people moved away from me, the look in the eyes of the people changed after seeing my appearance. The mother of the child came running and started thanking the crowd for saving her child. She looked towards Long Chen once and had thrown some money from her purse. I can see the disgust in her eyes in spite of saving her child.
I tried to get up but my leg started hurting badly. The pain is really unbearable, people looked away and started going on their own ways. I can see no one coming to my help. From this incident I realized the cruelty of the people. If I was in proper shape and good clothes these people would have praised me a lot and maybe someone would have at least thanked me and helped send him to the hospital.
I just leaned on the lamp post and started looking towards the moving crowd who are busy with their own lives. I can see lots of people seeing me and avoiding me just because of the way I look. I remembered my father's teaching about not pitying others. If I had avoided helping the little girl I would not have been in this situation.
Both of my legs became useless, one was broken and one was shot. People on the streets became less as it got darker. I could feel my body becoming very weak as time passed by. I didn't want to give up, I had to live. No matter what happens I have to become the biggest robber and fulfill my fathers last wish.
I managed to gather some energy and fixed the broken leg by twisting it. I started getting up with the help of the lamp post and walked towards the medical store despite feeling numbing pain from all parts of my body. There were only few people at the counter. I took the coins left in my pockets and asked for bandages and burn healing cream. The person gave me a disgusting look but still gave me the items. I took them aside after paying the money and started treating myself.
I sat near a lamp post and applied the cream to all the skin burns and wounds. I bandaged the leg and other deep burns. By the time I had finished I was feeling sleepy and dizzy because of fatigue and blood loss.
