Chapter 57: The Demon of the Heart
The leader of the camels let out a thunderous cry and frantically slammed and tore at the Golem.
The stone man's body was full of pits, criss-crossed cracks, and there were constantly sand and stones scattered on the ground, but after the dazzling yellow light, its body returned to its original state.
When the arm shattered, it grew back into it, and after the chest was pierced, the yellow sand that gathered filled its chest again.
The ferocity of the attack made the stone man almost defenseless, and the powerful ring-breaking force continued to ravage its body.
However, it never fell, like an immortal god of war, whose life never ended, and the battle never stopped.
The crowd was gone, and only the sounds of fighting, roaring, and roaring were still in my ears.
At this time, Yuchen was unaware of the situation in the outside world, his consciousness was completely immersed in his own world and could not extricate himself, and the dusty past passed through his consciousness like a movie clip, and countless information came one after another.
It's like being in the vast ocean of information, quietly feeling his life, ups and downs, joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
When he was in the orphanage, he didn't like to talk, he always sat alone in the corner, liked to look up at the sky and see the blue sky and white clouds, watch the birds soaring, or stared blankly at the surrounding flowers and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects.
The stars and moon in the night sky are his favorite, the stars in the sky are flickering and shining, running along the mysterious trajectory, and his mind is also immersed in it, as if it is integrated with the stars in the sky, and the unpredictable feeling arises spontaneously, as if he was born with an inexplicable closeness to nature.
Although I occasionally watch other children laugh and play, I never take the initiative to talk to others, let alone play together.
Because of this, he is isolated, because he is an outlier among the children, because he is not social.
So being bullied by other children became commonplace, he was not cowardly, nor did he flinch, but the resistance again and again was only bruised all over his body.
However, he fights with a lot of energy, and only targets one person every time, so the person he beats will never feel good.
Slowly, there were fewer people who troubled him, and he also had a nickname "monster", an alien who was almost paranoid in fights and couldn't cry.
Until one day a little girl appeared in the orphanage, she often quietly watched other children play, and did not talk to other people, the difference is that she is always smiling.
Perhaps it was fate, and the two soon became inseparable good friends.
In the past, his life was very monotonous, and the appearance of girls made his world more colorful than he had seen for a long time, and he felt that girls were the best gift from God.
Although life was hard, the two were happy, and every corner of the orphanage left good memories for the two.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and not long after, the little girl left the orphanage, and he cried for the first time in his life, crying heartbreakingly.
In the next three months, he became more reticent, did not think about tea and dinner, and often sat silently in a corner, quietly looking at a place in a daze, and sat for a day.
Until one day, when he appeared in front of everyone again, the people around him found that the boy in front of him had changed, and he always had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed very gentle, and he was no longer as indifferent and rejecting people as before, although he still didn't like to talk.
Later, he met a little fat man who looked obscene and talked a lot of nonsense.
The little fat man is very unreliable in talking and acting, and he always looks like a thief, so other children often laugh at him. The little fat man does not show weakness at all, whenever he goes back at this time, and he will not stop crying without telling others, and he is still proud afterwards.
After a long time, no one wanted to play with him, so he found Yuchen.
In the first confrontation between the two, Yuchen only said one sentence, "You look so strange, like a mouse, the fat kind." "Let the little fat man go completely crazy, "You look like a mouse, your whole family looks like a mouse!", "Brother is plump, do you know?", ...... "I decided, I will call you a mouse in the future." ”
"I just said you look, not that you are. Also, don't call me a mouse. ”
"Okay, mouse!"
"Then you're a fat mouse!"
"You're fat, I'm plump, plump!, understand?"
"I don't understand. ”
The little fat man's lungs almost exploded, but no matter how he chattered afterwards, Yuchen stopped talking, which made the angry fat man even more dissatisfied, and his anger was nowhere to vent, and finally chose the most irrational approach, wanting to force the boy to submit by force.
The little fat man has a fat body and strength that cannot be underestimated, and although Yuchen has a thin body, he is very flexible. Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, and after a dragon fight, both of them are hung in the lottery.
In the end, the little fat man was exhausted and shouted for mercy.
In fact, Yuchen was already physically exhausted at that time, but he gritted his teeth and persisted with an amazing will.
Since then, he has had an extra attendant behind him.
The two have become a bizarre combination, one is full of nonsense, and the other is like gold. Whenever the little fat man was talking and talking about something inconsequential, he just listened quietly and didn't say a word.
At first, Yuchen felt annoyed, he liked to be quiet and didn't like to be too noisy. It was only after a while that he found that he had become accustomed to it, and the chatter no longer seemed to be as noisy as before.
Before, he always felt that his world didn't need anyone's participation, and he didn't feel lonely, but later he realized that he was just used to being lonely.
As the relationship between the two gets better and better, the fat man will always think of some sassy ideas, such as peeking at the management aunt taking a bath, stealing cucumbers and tomatoes grown in the yard, playing tricks and scaring other children, cutting his beard while the uncle guarding the door is sleeping, painting turtles on his face, etc., where there is destruction, there are them.
The little fat man was never tired of this, before he met Yuchen, even if he had the heart and no guts, he didn't know how to start. Since pulling Yuchen, the two of them have been embarrassed, colluding with each other, making the orphanage chickens fly and dogs jumping, and the old man of the dean is angry and blowing his beard and glaring.
Of course, the bitterness is not less, and every time he is punished, the fat man always pushes the pot.
It's a pity that the road is one foot tall and the demon is one foot high, and Yuchen put on a harmless smile from humans and animals, so that the old man of the dean really can't bear to punish too much, and at most he will teach him to stay away from the little fat man.
On the contrary, the 'culprit' fat man naturally completely endured the thunderous wrath of the dean, like stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, teppanyaki and the like, there are many kinds of tricks, countless, screaming and wailing one after another, and the scene was once very 'brutal'.
Fortunately, Yuchen is determined, otherwise I don't know if there will be any childhood shadows. It is better to be punished by one person than by two people, and it is only because the little fat man is too obscene, and he doesn't look like a good person, and he mourns for him in his heart.
......
More than two years have passed in a flash, this year Yuchen is twelve years old, and the fat man is the same age as Yuchen. As for who is older, he doesn't know, because he doesn't know exactly what month and day he was born.
Also in this year, Yuchen's fate took a huge turn, by chance, he saw an unkempt, ragged, stench beggar lying on the side of the road unnoticed, passers-by showed disgusted expressions, covered their noses and accelerated away, as if they were avoiding the plague god, no one wanted to stay for a moment, let alone go up to check and ask.
Yuchen has lived in an orphanage since he was a child, spending most of his time with children with physical defects and congenital diseases, as well as a few elderly people.
Although he and the little fat man are very naughty, they will also help take care of other children who are relatively small or unable to take care of themselves, so the director of the orphanage and several management aunts love and hate them.
Maybe it's because he's been together for a long time, and he has a special affection for the elderly and children.
The pungent stench was just a ramp for him, because it was smelled every day in the rooms of children who were physically and mentally handicapped.
Silently looking at the beggar lying on the ground, Yuchen wondered in his heart: Is he like himself, no one cares, no one hurts, no one loves, and no one cares!
Seeing that no one stopped, he suddenly turned around and ran back to the orphanage, and when he returned to the beggar, he carried a freshly picked cucumber in his arms.
After all, he is just a child, and he doesn't have much ability, so it's not easy to do this job. As for whether he would be beaten up when he returned to the orphanage, he didn't think about it that much.
After that, Yuchen would meet the beggar on the side of the road every day, and there was not much communication between them, sometimes he just silently put down the food and left.
Some of the food given is cucumbers and tomatoes grown in the yard, and some are food given to them when some well-wishers come to visit the orphanage, such as fruits and biscuits.
Of course, most of the time he just stood quietly for a while, he didn't have much leftover food, and often "picking" vegetables in the yard would affect the food of other children, and he was much more delicate than his peers at this age.
This is also the norm among orphans, most of whom are precocious and sensible, after all, they have endured undeserved loneliness and hardship at the age when they need their parents the most.
Other children are loved by others, parents will buy them delicious food, buy new clothes, tell stories, they can sleep in warm quilts when they are tired, they will be carefully cared for when they are injured, they can be spoiled, they can be willful, and their parents will tolerate them and hold up a piece of heaven for them.
And they have no one to love and no one to love, they often go hungry if they don't eat well, they wear shabby clothes, they sleep in cold beds, no one really cares about them, and being coquettish and willful is a luxury.
Everything can only be done on their own, and being mature and sensible can give them a little more care and warmth.
This lasted for more than three months, until one day when I crossed the road after school, the familiar figure was gone.
The beggar did not know where he went, did not say goodbye, and disappeared without warning.
For some reason, there was a faint sense of loss in his heart.
A day later, Yuchen was told that someone was going to adopt him, and he was very surprised at the time, knowing that most people prefer to adopt younger children.
Although he is one of the few normal children in the orphanage, he usually talks very little and often is in a daze, which makes some people who want to adopt him think that he is dumb or has mental problems, and in the end, he naturally stops.
When he first met the person who wanted to adopt him, Yuchen was stunned.
The person in front of him was the beggar, but at this time he had no appearance of a beggar at all, his blue hair was casually draped behind his head, his face was very handsome, his skin was like a baby, his expression was indifferent, and a pair of deep eyes stared at Yuchen with a smile, as if he could see through people's hearts and was full of wisdom.
For a moment, Yuchen seemed to see "him" exuding a hazy halo all over his body, like a true immortal outside the world.
On this day, Yuchen and Little Fat left the orphanage where they had lived since childhood.
Of course, the little fat man is quite a giveaway, which is the result of Yuchen's vigorous efforts.
When they left, the dean, several management aunts, and the children who grew up together in the yard came to see them off.
Yuchen couldn't stand this situation the most, and after taking one last look at everyone, he took a deep breath and stepped out of this place that brought him countless happy and painful memories without looking back.
