Volume 5 Indifference, The Nature of the World Chapter 144 Maybe this is a deal with the devil
"Sister, do I still have a chance to recover? Otherwise, you just give up on me, I'm too much of a drag on you...... You can't get enough to eat...... Also ......"
"Shut up, who's going to protect me without you?"
When I was a child, my parents often said how sinister people in this world were, but in their eyes, the world was not so bad.
The owner of the steamed bun shop would give the sisters some more when they bought steamed buns, and passers-by would not hesitate to help them when they needed help...... So many people are so kind, so kind, it's not a sinister world at all.
Even if they happen to hear that someone has been victimized by a wicked person, they believe that it is only a small part, and that the world is still very good in general.
They are dreaming, fantasizing, looking forward to their life when they grow up.
It wasn't until that car accident that they realized that the beauty they saw was nothing more than a garden created for them by their parents. Indeed, people's hearts are not really sinister, nor are they really not kind enough, they are just helpless with reality.
Helpless to those complex realities that have become a foregone conclusion, that's all.
They will still lament when they see a pitiful person leave, and they will still feel pity when they see a homeless person walking by, but so what? They may not be far from these poor people at that time.
Losing their jobs, losing their income, they become one of those people.
So, who would choose to help these two homeless children? They also have their own homes, and some of them can't even support themselves.
After my sister was hit by a flower pot on a building, and because a kind person sent charcoal in the snow to help my sister be hospitalized, no one witnessed it, and the accident maker could not hide, and the already difficult life of these two homeless children became even more difficult.
So, my sister always tried again and again to get my sister to give up on her and not to live so painfully because of her.
Just like at the beginning.
These words always stab my sister unexpectedly like a dark arrow when she was immersed in the slightly more comfortable time with her sister.
In such a difficult life, although my sister has just become an adult and is still a student, she is like those social animals, numb for a day, and only the moment she sees her family, she can feel a trace of comfort. So giving up her sister and living alone, she wouldn't want to die even if she died.
Even if one day her sister still doesn't survive, she will choose to leave this world with her sister.
I don't know how long it has been since such a long time, and the time limit for the hospitalization that the good Samaritan paid for is coming to an end. They can't find a way to have a high income, although my sister has also thought about the dirtiest industry, but she is dragged by her sister and is not allowed to do it. After all, that kind of thing has an unknown danger in their eyes, and they may even be sold. Even if you barely survive, you will be seen by the "guests" in the future, and you won't be able to raise your head alive.
"I'm such a waste, I used to say I wanted to protect my sister, but now I can't do anything while lying in the hospital bed!" was the last thing my sister said to her in her memory.
After that, my sister never said a word to her, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.
The dim sunlight prompted the figure on the couch to open its eyes, and she struggled to sit up, her long snow-white hair immediately falling into her field of vision.
It's been nine days since she came to this forest, and she doesn't know when or how she got here, she just knows that she still has something very important to do. But she couldn't even get out of here, because she was just an ordinary person at this time, just an ordinary white-haired girl.
She was taken in by an old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he happened to come out of the bedroom at this time and saw her awake. The old man was not an ordinary person, he said that he was an "administrator", a person in charge of managing the world. And his body is not an ordinary person's body, but has been specially modified.
That special transformation, the old man called it "despair".
The old man is dying because of a terminal illness, but while he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, he does not want the "administrator" to disappear in his generation. When he found out that there were others in the mountains and forests, he looked forward to it, but what he found was such a weak child.
It's not right to say that, although she is weak by nature, but when she has her own obsessions, she is no different from a strong man except for being limited by a weak body.
And now she seems to have her own obsession, but it's a pity that the old man still doesn't believe her.
This is the right idea, because this girl is not rational enough. What about obsession, if one day the obsession is broken, she will become the girl who is weak in body and weak in heart. Seeing that his body was getting worse day by day, and sometimes he even asked this girl to take care of him, the old man was very anxious, looking forward to the appearance of a strong-willed person.
But that day was far away, and the day he was paralyzed, he seemed to be able to see it. At this time, he can only give the power to this girl, or let it disappear, and then it will be affected, as well as those who have fallen into this world, and the consciousness that has not really died. They will remain in this world forever until they die because of the extinction of this power, which he does not want to see in any way.
The choice in front of her may only be to test this weak girl.
So on this morning, when I saw the old man after the white-haired girl woke up, he directly beckoned her to approach, and then chatted with her.
Although the old man could see through people's hearts, he still deliberately asked her, wondering what she was thinking when she stared out the window and looked at the endless forest. The white-haired girl was silent for a moment, clasped her hands in front of her chest, raised her eyes and said, "That's it...... That's what I said at the beginning...... I...... I think...... I want to go back. My sister she ...... My sister is still waiting for me to raise money to save her......
She is still lying in a hospital bed...... Her condition has deteriorated, if I don't save her...... She's going to die......"
After listening to the white-haired girl's words, the old man shook his head, and his eyes revealed the helplessness and numbness that he was used to seeing this kind of thing. Looking at the expectant face of the white-haired girl, for a while, sadness was beyond words.
"Kid...... You...... Let's think about yourself first......"
"What ......" The white-haired girl was very frightened, the old man could see through what she was thinking, she was afraid that she was being sold into the mountains and forests, and even began to think about how to persuade the old man to let her go back.
So, the old man pointed to her hair, and when she looked at her white hair with a puzzled expression, he said seriously: "You should have noticed that your hair has turned white, and your real hair color should be black." People like you are called white-haired people in this world. Do you know what the white-haired man represents?"
"What...... What ......"
"A person who comes into this world with a soul and has no connection with the real world. The old man said with a sense of relief in his heart, for he no longer had to hide from the poor girl.
This sentence is easy to understand, but the girl is also trying to guide herself in other directions. After all, one second he was still in front of the hospital, and the next second he was in the mountains, and there was an old man who was chattering, and most people would not believe that he was a "person who has no connection with the present world".
Even if you believe it, you won't admit it easily.
Besides, she didn't have any memories of herself before she came into the world, so she was still trying to think of something. And the old man understood that she would not calm down for a while, so he left silently and prepared breakfast.
At the end of this day, the white-haired girl's heart has not been able to calm down, so it was muddy until late at night, and sleepiness came up, but her eyes couldn't be closed. She couldn't come to terms with this reality, so she was still reminiscing, still fantasizing, and she wanted to know what had happened to get her here.
The memories and fantasies dissipated, and she touched her neck, tugging at the silk thread around her neck, and pulled out the blue pendant hidden in the clothes on her chest.
The second the faint light reflected from the pale blue pendant came into view, she remembered a lot of things.
It was when my sister's condition suddenly deteriorated, and because medical technology was relatively backward at that time, this kind of thing happened from time to time. Although the medical staff of the hospital arrived as soon as possible, because Bai Nanyu did not have more money to do the operation, the hospital could not bear the huge risk and cost to "do charity" for free.
At that time, it was difficult for people to live, and hospitals could not help a person in advance because he was seriously ill and was in a hurry to treat him. With so many patients, if the patients or their families don't have money to pay for the hospital, the hospital will close down sooner or later.
What's more, the family members that this patient can contact are just like this patient, homeless beggars!
Although it is very uncomfortable to watch them separate like this, the people in the hospital and the snow-white walls have already witnessed countless partings and listened to the crying of countless people. Hospitals must be "indifferent" and must not have "hearts", unless they have a large background, otherwise they cannot survive.
My sister's attending doctor met with her sister when her condition worsened, and my sister kept crying and begging the attending doctor to advance money, no matter what she did in the future, even if it was to do dirty things, at least save her sister.
But the attending doctor decisively and skillfully refused, a scene he had seen countless times. There are those who save their fathers and mothers, those who save their wives and children, and the most unique should be the only time they save strangers, and this time, it was a beggar who asked him to save her family. The beggar alone was already sentenced to death by the attending doctor for her request.
This can't be helped, people with families are better, beggars are not convinced at all.
After some stalking, my sister was pulled out of the hospital by the security guard crying and screaming, and the attending doctor told her to find a way by herself, but he also knew that the girl had no way at all.
At this time, she even had the outrageous idea of "making a pact with the devil", after all, she had nothing else to do. She has been to schools for help, to shopping malls for help, and even to a company to ask for help, but all of this has done nothing but to make her lose face.
In the end, she could only kneel on the street, although she was anxious, but she couldn't do anything at all.
Thinking about it, she was already reminded of her last memories in the real world. In that hazy and trance-like vision, the light gradually brightened and brightened blindly, as if she could see the frightened and regretful expression of her sister's attending doctor. And she wanted to move, she wanted to say something, but her body seemed to no longer belong to her.
Outside this corner, outside the hospital, although she couldn't see, she knew that there was a car parked diagonally on the side of the road, surrounded by pedestrians......
