Chapter 22: A Story That Won't Happen
September 25, Northeast, Ice City.
A strange cold wave struck without warning!
The weather suddenly turned cold, and the temperature plummeted, and the temperature had dropped to 8Β°C at night.
Ms. Lin Jing, who had just come back from work, was in a hurry, she was now rushing back to cook for her children, and when she passed by the newsstand, she thought that the latest issue of "Fairy Tale World" magazine should already be available, so she stopped and bought the latest issue of "Fairy Tale World".
Her daughter Tingting is seven years old this year and has always watched fairy tales in "Fairy Tale World".
Thinking of her daughter Tingting, Lin Jing showed a happy smile on her face, took the "Fairy Tale World" magazine handed over by the newsstand owner, and accidentally crossed the street with her eyes and saw a few children playing around a dilapidated leather ball on the side of the road.
It's so late, and you don't want to go back?
"Boss, I seem to have seen those kids here lately. β
When the boss heard Lin Jing's words, he glanced at the five children and said, "I don't know where the children came from, they have been living here for several days. I don't know where it came from, but they came to me to beg for food. β
"Hey, that's pathetic, no one cares about this. β
Hearing the boss's words, Lin Jing's heart suddenly felt a little heavy, looking at those children, their clothes were dirty, very thin, and their faces were dark, only those eyes were very bright.
"Here you go, find your money. β
Lin Jing came back to her senses, put away the change, and looked again, but she didn't see the children, and she didn't know where she had gone, only a garbage bin on the side of the road was still standing alone.
The dustbin has a green background and a white cover, which is nearly one person high and the white cover can be closed.
Lin Jing turned her head around, and looked at both sides a few more times, but she didn't see the figures of the children, and she felt an indescribable panic in her heart.
Then, Lin Jing took a step and continued to walk home.
The temperature dropped too much, and wearing a coat, Lin Jing felt a little cold.
It's really cold!
Temperatures are likely to continue to drop in the future.
β¦β¦
Lin Jing returned to her parents, put the magazine on the coffee table, and let her daughter Tingting read it by herself.
And she's busy cooking.
The little girl Tingting was fascinated by "Fairy Tale World", suddenly cried, with red eyes, ran to Lin Jing's side, lowered her head, and whispered: "Mom, the little girl who sells matches...... He's dead. β
After saying this, Tingting cried, very sad.
Lin Jing was confused, put down the work in her hand, saw that the child was crying, and hurriedly comforted her, and was wondering who the little match girl was, when she saw her daughter handing her the magazine, and said, "Mom, can you save her?
Sad tears filled Tingting's little face, which made people feel pitiful.
Lin Jing then understood, a little crying and laughing, it turned out to be a fairy tale, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't be sad, this is a story, not true." β
β¦β¦
After finishing the work at home and putting the child to sleep, Lin Jing sat on the sofa to rest, and saw the "Fairy Tale World" magazine on the sofa, and the cover was the story of "The Little Match Girl", thinking of her daughter crying for this story just now, she couldn't help but be a little curious.
Lin Jing took the magazine and planned to read the story of "The Little Match Girl".
And thenβ
The room was quiet, the heating was on, it was very warm, but Lin Jing felt a little cold.
It's really heavy, it's really uncomfortable.
Lin Jing touched her eyes and found that she actually cried while reading a fairy tale, she was very surprised, and she couldn't cry or laugh.
Looking at the contrasting picture on the cover of the magazine, the little girl cowering barefoot in the corner, and the snow all over the sky, Lin Jing sighed and said a little heavily: "Fortunately, it's just a fairy tale, not true." β
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jing remembered the children she saw on the way back from work.
For some reason, Lin Jing suddenly felt that those boys were like the little match girls in this fairy tale.
Lin Jing put down the magazine and prepared to go back to the room to sleep.
But thinking of the little boys I saw before, that picture, and hearing the wind whining outside, that sound really made people panic, but Lin Jing couldn't take a step.
"No, it won't!"
Lin Jing shook her head, trying to deny the thought that popped up in her mind, the uneasiness, but the more she wanted to deny it, the more uneasy she became, and muttered uncertainly: "Probably not." β
β¦β¦
In that uneasiness, Lin Jing went to bed and nestled in the warm quilt.
But looking at the dark sky outside, the wind kept destroying the trees, and the whirring sound made Lin Jing unable to sleep.
What I have been thinking about in my mind is the story of "The Little Match Girl" I just watched, and then the little boys I saw before, with thin clothes, dirty and shabby clothes, the pictures are constantly intertwined.
Lin Jing became more and more worried, she really couldn't sleep, and she couldn't sleep steadily.
You must know that today is a cold wave coming, the temperature drops, and I don't know what the temperature will be like in the middle of the night!
Suddenly, Lin Jing thought of the green and white trash can she saw at the end, and her heart suddenly ached!
"Probably not!"
Lin Jing sat up from the bed suddenly, feeling uneasy, and decided to go over to see and confirm, otherwise she would really feel uneasy.
Without any further hesitation, after getting dressed, Lin Jing went out.
β¦β¦
In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street.
The whistling north wind was blowing wildly, and every sound was terrifying.
The garbage bin is on the sidewalk of Huandong Road, not far from Lin Jing's house, as the main road of the new city, this road is not too long, from the beginning to the end, it only takes ten minutes.
Lin Jing wrapped the clothes on her body tightly, feeling a little silly and a little funny, she was really relieved in the middle of the night, and ran over to take a look.
Fortunately, it wasn't far, otherwise Lin Jing would not have made this trip at all if she had changed her place of work.
β¦β¦
The streetlights were lonely, and the dim yellow illuminated the road, as well as the lonely garbage bin below.
On the green and white trash can, a red women's wedge bootie hangs.
The red, bright red blood like demonic blood, seemed so cold in this dark night.
"Whew!"
The wind is blowing harder!
When Lin Jing walked into the green and white trash can, she saw a faint smoke or heat coming out of the crack, and she had no smile on her face.
And when she lifted the lid of the dumpster and looked at the scene in front of her, a cold air suddenly came out, rising from the soles of her feet, like being in an ice cellar.
Inside the cramped dustbinβ
Five children, head north and feet south, lying side by side, motionless.
It's like dead.
Dead?
Lin Jing's body was cold, and her body was chilling.
