Chapter 124 Falling (1)_1
Fat Brother, kneeling on the ground, struggled to stand up, but a police officer harshly pressed him back down. He tried to move again and again, his eyes fixed intently on a certain spot, a look of surprise and joy fleeting across his face.
Mo Yan followed Fat Brother’s gaze, and among the crowd of onlookers, she could not determine who exactly he was looking at.
At that moment, a delicate-looking woman about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, holding a food box, squeezed out from the crowd.
The woman approached the execution platform, clearly wanting to get closer, but the police officer stationed there stopped her.
"Officer, that man is my elder brother. Please, I beg of you, let me through to give him a last meal!"
Perhaps accustomed to such scenes and aware that Fat Brother was soon to meet his end, the police officer did not make it hard for her. After seeking approval from the Execution Official, he warned her to ’come out quickly’ with a shout and let her through.
The woman thanked the police officer with tears of gratitude and, ignoring the disdainful looks from those around, carried the food box onto the execution platform and walked up to Fat Brother.
Fat Brother gazed fondly at the woman: "Xing Er, you finally came to see me."
Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyes reddened, but she said nothing. Clumsily she took out several dishes and a bowl of rice from the food box and began to feed Fat Brother with chopsticks, her hands trembling slightly, betraying her sorrow.
