The situation of the homeless is not very good.
He was unconscious at this time, but he kept vomiting physiologically and almost vomited bile.
This man needs to go to the hospital!
Wang Xiaoming raised his head and looked around, wanting to call for help, but all he got were cold looks.
The only older man who responded was trying to persuade him, "Young man, you can't even support yourself, and you still have the mood to care about others? Most of the homeless people in the bridge tunnel will not live past 45 years old.
It is normal to get sick, and it is also normal to die from the illness. Do we have the money to treat others?”
This statement is cold-blooded and numb, but also very straightforward and realistic.
Wang Xiaoming moved his toes in his shoes, which contained all the money he had earned after two days of hard work. His toes and fingers were cut by sharp shells and stones, but he was reluctant to buy two Band-Aids.
It's not just a Band-Aid, if he fails in the game, he will lose his life.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the man on the ground, turned around after a while, and went to a store a hundred meters away to buy a bottle of mineral water and a bag of bread. He placed these things next to the unconscious man, which was his last act of kindness.

Game Day 4
Wang Xiaoming woke up.
He woke up and reflexively looked at the person next to him.
The bread and mineral water were still there, and the homeless man still looked the same as he did last night.
I'm afraid it won't get better.
He can't turn into the person in the bridge arch!
A more ambitious goal appeared in his mind!
He wants to make money!
He wants to leave this bridge!
Even if it's only 15 days of gaming time, you can't be so decadent. At least you should have a place to take a shower, cook noodles, and sleep without worrying about your things being stolen!
With such determination, he took out his own savings today, spent 100 yuan to rent a diving suit, and swam towards the deeper ocean like those pearl seekers who were not satisfied with the status quo.
I earned back the rental money in just one morning, and even made a few dozen dollars extra.
After a quick lunch, he didn't even take a rest and continued to follow the veterans to go pearl hunting.
The rewards for individual pearl diving are high, but the risks are equally great.
In the deep sea, there are no safety measures, and perhaps just a small cramp could cost him his life.
But the risk is worth it.
He was very lucky and actually found a golden pearl with perfect shape and color!
Just this one pearl is equivalent to him working here for many days!
He was so excited that he was about to go up with the gun in his hand, but suddenly he felt something cold and sticky wrapped around his leg. At the same time, the sea water penetrated his glasses and he lost his vision instantly.
A large amount of seawater rushed into his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more severe. Wang Xiaoming felt that he was sinking further and further down. If he could not go up again, he would suffocate to death.
He doesn't want to drown!
At that moment, Wang Xiaoming burst out with amazing strength. He kicked hard with his other leg, broke free of the thing stuck on his leg, and quickly swam to the surface of the water. He grabbed the edge of the wooden boat and was rescued by his companions on the boat.
He lay exhausted on the deck, unable to get up for a long time. His calves were bruised and painful.
However, no one cared about his situation at this time, because there was a pearl diver who had been down there longer than him and had not come up yet, and several of his companions had already gone down to look for someone.
Later, everyone stopped looking for the pearl and joined the search for the man. It took at least ten minutes to finally get the man out.
"I'm entangled in water plants and choking on water. Everyone, get out of the way."
The more experienced pearl diver said, and began to give first aid to the drowning person.
Wang Xiaoming quickly stepped aside to make room for them. His eyes swept over and stopped on his legs.
