Thousands of sparks

Chapter 43 The Fiery Heart
Walking on the streets of Newsail, Ford looked at the dark sky, and his heart was full of gratitude and relief.

My younger sister entered a big hospital, which can have five buildings. At night, there is a guard guarding the hospital for treatment.Ford didn't know the name of the hospital, and he couldn't read.But he knew that the ability of doctors in a hospital was related to the size of the hospital.

The bigger the hospital, the more men who are not doctors working here, it means the higher level of the hospital.This is an experience that Ford has summed up in his 16 years of life.

The nearest hospital to his house was a small clinic with only an elderly doctor who poured rye down his throat all day long from a big dirty wooden goblet.After the old doctor saw his sister's condition, the old doctor did not give any treatment to her.

He grabbed Ford by the collar and shouted loudly, "Take your sister to the big hospital in the city, go right away! If you don't get treatment for more than three hours, she will die!"

Ford didn't know how long three hours was.But for the sake of his sister's life, he desperately sent her to the city of Upper Albin.And at the gate of the magnificent Internal Affairs Bureau, I met that kind master.

He rescued his sister, graciously allowed himself to share a car with him, and even rewarded himself with two pieces of sweet bread, a huge sum of ten shillings and... and a job.

Ford felt that his body, which was already close to collapse, had regained strength.He even felt warm all over his body.

On a cold Newsail night, under a starry sky with only two moons hanging in the sky, Ford took off his coat and carefully draped it over his arms.

He continued to walk hard, and even wanted to hum a little tune.He now has a ten shilling note in his pocket.That's enough to make him one of the richest men in the village.

Even Uncle Wald's family couldn't find a ten shilling note?

The weather seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and Ford continued to walk. He felt that he was walking very fast, but it seemed to be walking very slowly.He may be lying on the ground, but he seems to be walking normally.

This feeling is really strange, will it be like this after eating the food of noble gentlemen?
He took off his shirt again, and now all he had was a tattered vest.He only had a pair of trousers on his legs, and a large piece was torn on the trouser leg.

Before that, Ford always felt that the wind coming in from the trouser legs was icy, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.But not now, he felt very warm on his legs, even a little too hot.

It felt a bit uncomfortable, like the vent of a boiler was blowing at his legs.

Despite the discomfort, Ford decided to leave it alone.His current plan is to walk to the industrial area mentioned by the unknown good man as soon as possible, and then hand over his business card to him.

The village where his family lived was too far away. If he walked back and then came back, it would take more than a day in between.

Anyway, his body is warm now, so he might as well go directly to the industrial area, and then go directly to the Lawson Company after dawn.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ford finally felt that he had reached the industrial area.

He had never been to this place before, but he just felt that he was where he should be.

He took out his business card with a somewhat slow hand, and he wanted to ask someone to see if he had reached the place, but the people on the street were all looking at him with strange eyes.

Ford felt that the freedmen in the city should have never seen the poor.They may be a little afraid of themselves.

It's okay, I'll just wait.

Ford found a corner and sat down, then pinched the business card, and began to dream about his future life with hopes that he had never had before.

After you have a stable job, you can eat rye cakes every day to your fullest, right?Every year, you can have a new dress, a new pair of shoes... maybe even have a grass shed of your own.

Maybe, after a few years of hard work, he wouldn't have to live in Uncle Wald's living room with his grandmother and sister.

Good days are coming, thanks to that strange and kind noble lord, thanks to his reward.My sister will get better, and I will get better...the whole family will be fine.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the glittering starry sky.Showed a satisfied smile.

The stars in the sky seem to be aware of his gaze, they are like steam and dust ejected into the sky.In the black smoke, thousands of sparks exploded in front of his eyes, and the bright and short-lived light penetrated the darkness and shone on Ford.

He felt warm and comfortable.

At the door of Senator Androni's campaign office, Rosen held a business card in his hand, with an uneasy expression on his face,
The congressman's campaign office is not a place where outsiders can enter casually. After he asked the guards to inform him, he kept guarding the door and waited for Master Dusand to come out.

After a while, Dusand came out of the office. He was a little surprised when he saw Rosen, and then he saw the business card in Rosen's hand.

"Why did you come here with a business card? He is not suitable for Rosen Company?" Du Sande really did not expect that the first time he wrote a note to Rosen to do something, he would be rejected.

This made him feel somewhat ashamed.

However, Rosen Company is also Rosen's own industry.He's responsible for his investments, and there's really nothing wrong with that.

Dusande sighed, since Rosen is not going to accept that poor man, then let's not accept it.Anyway, in a few days, it will be enough to inform the young man that his sister died of a serious illness.

Rosen shook his head, holding the business card and said with difficulty, "Master, the person holding this business card...frozen to death in Sunset Square last night."

Dusand was stunned.

"He suffered from severe hypothermia. The police detectives found him hiding under the statue of the Duke of Saint-Saar when they inspected this morning." Rosen whispered, "According to the description of the police detectives, he was wearing only A pair of thin torn trousers and a tattered vest. His coat and shirt were taken off by himself."

Rosen looked up at Dusand and said, "Some of the people who died from the cold weather will have hallucinations before they die. They will feel as if they are in summer, and the heat is uncontrollable. Then they take off their clothes one by one. Clothes, and a quick death at the end."

Dusande felt as if something in his heart was being tightly grabbed by someone.

"I don't know his name yet, and I don't even know if he has any living family members." After a long silence, Du Sande ordered, "Let your people ask to see if he has any family members alive .If not... go to Colonial Hall General Hospital, get his sister's body out, let's find a place to bury it together."

Rosen took the order and turned to leave. Dusande looked at his back and felt empty in his heart.

He had already given that unknown young man a chance to change his life, but unfortunately...God didn't seem to intend to give him this chance.
