01. Rebirth

The night was dark and windy, and in a low small warehouse, there was a faint crying child's voice.

"Sister, sister, sister, wake up! Don't scare me, woo woo" A thin little boy was shaking a slender body lying on a small bed.

At this time, it was the middle of winter, and a cold wind squeezed in through the simple wooden door, and the biting cold wind made people shiver, and the little boy, who was originally very thin, was so cold that he immediately shrunk into a ball.

"Sister, sister, wake up!!" The little boy shook his body, still persistently trying to wake up the girl lying on the bed.

Xiao Yan worked the night shift yesterday, caught up with the heavy rain when she got off work, and returned to the rental house after pouring a cold on her heart, she was afraid that she would catch a cold and fever because of this, so she had the foresight to eat a cold capsule and fell asleep. But now she is sleeping with a heavy head and a soft voice, and when she is in a daze, she hears Weng Weng's voice ringing in her ears constantly, which makes her upset.

"Qi Miaomiao, you're too much." Qi Miaomiao is her roommate and her colleague, and the two share a room and sleep on a small single bed next to her. She frowned and muttered, trying to pull over the covers over her head.

But a pull was empty, and the cold wind kept pouring into the house, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Hey, why is it so cold!" Xiao Yan rubbed her arms vigorously and muttered, "Didn't I close the window?" ”

She opened her eyes in confusion and looked in the direction of the window. It doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, but when she looks at her brain, she turns her head to look around in a daze. It was pitch black, and by the moonlight she could see that she was in a low house, with a single bed made of broken wooden planks, a dilapidated washbasin stand, and miscellaneous items that occupied the room, and the windows were empty only frames, and the cold wind kept blowing from the frames, and the cold people shivered.

"Sister, you're awake! Whew, that's great. The little boy saw Xiao Yan open his eyes and sit up, his voice trembling with excitement.

Although she was slightly accustomed to the darkness in the room by the moonlight, she could only see a small outline of the other party, and the familiar voice of this silhouette had a warm feeling coming to her face.

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, shaking her hands and looking at the little boy carefully, "Little brother? Huihui? ”

Xiao Hui was stared at by him for some reason, but she was still filled with the joy of her sister waking up, and she plunged into her sister's arms, "Sister, it's great that you can wake up, you suddenly fainted just now, I thought you were like Grandma Wang Xiaocui, you can't wake up again" Xiao Hui's voice became lower and lower, and he seemed to be very tired and trying to open his eyes, probably afraid that after closing his eyes, his sister would fall asleep again and never wake up.

Wang Xiaocui's grandmother is like this, she never woke up after falling asleep.

Xiao Yan felt her shoulders sink, and then there was a burst of hot heat, "Little brother, Huihui, why is it so hot?!" She touched the other person's forehead, and her heart panicked.

"Huihui? Huihui? Xiao Yan felt that she was dreaming, but the dream was so real, and her anxious shout became louder and louder, "Wake up, wake up." She tried to pick up her brother, but the more she realized that she had no strength at all.

She forced herself to get up and pull the wooden door that was almost close at hand, but now that someone outside the door was locked, she couldn't open it, and she slapped the door hard, "Open the door, my brother is sick, he has a high fever." ”

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" knocked on the door kept coming out, and it also reached the main room.

In the main room, there was a man and a woman lying at this time, the man's snoring was shocking, and the woman was tossing and turning, as if she couldn't sleep because of the noise.

The woman said angrily, "It's really annoying to let people sleep at night." She nudged the man lying next to her, "Why don't you go and see what those two are doing?" But the man slept on the incense, and it was not affected at all.

The woman saw that he didn't move, and turned behind angrily.

"Open the door, open the door!" Outside, the sound was getting louder and louder, and it was engulfed in the wind.

The woman was a little worried, but she was not worried about the person who was shouting, nor the sick child, but worried about being heard by the neighbors, so she lowered her voice and said to her eldest son, who was only separated by a wall, "Xiaoyu, you hurry up and take a look, let her stop shouting, and let people not sleep." ”

After waiting for a while, there was no movement next door.

The woman urged again, "Why don't you go quickly, do you want everyone to hear it?" ”

This time there was movement next door, but Xiao Yu sent his younger brother Xiao Nan to go, Xiao Nan is only thirteen years old, it is the age when people are impatient with dogs, they usually recruit cats and tease dogs, bully little classmates, and cheat people of pocket money.

So, Xiao Nan reluctantly got up and went to the small warehouse where the two of them were.

The house was next to the gate, a small wooden house, which could be used as a kitchenette in the winter and a kitchenette when it was hot, but now it was inhabited by two children.

"What are you two arguing about, don't you let people sleep at night, don't you be careful to knock out your front teeth if you quarrel again!" Xiao Nan said threatening words while opening the small wooden door, this wooden door was not actually locked, who would waste a good lock on the door of such a broken utility room, they just inserted a wooden stick in the deadbolt to prevent the two from running around.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, and then Xiao Yan saw the fat childhood nightmare behind the cold wind.

Xiao Nan said angrily when he came in, "What's the howl?" If you don't sleep at night, you won't let others sleep! ”

Xiao Yan's eyes were staring at Xiao Nan in front of her, at this time she could only see Xiao Nan's closed mouth, as for what she said, she couldn't hear it.

She only remembered how the dead fat man had bullied her, robbed her of her pocket money, tore up her books, put caterpillars in her pencil case, and once even put a green snake, which scared her into nightmares for days.

Of course, these are nothing, these are all things that happened at school when her parents were there, she has been a timid and weak girl since she was a child, she didn't dare to say a word when she was scared, and she didn't dare to tell her parents when she went home. And her parents went out to work, and it was only during the two years of their absence that she was stricter, when she and her younger brother lived at her uncle's house, which was the fat man's house.

This guy is even worse, bullying her at school is not counted, he has to use her as a nanny at home, splash her with water when he is unhappy, and once even pushed her down the river, she grabbed a driftwood and floated up.

As the so-called enemies were extremely red when they met, Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and she muttered, "It's too much to even dream that I dreamed of you." ”

With a "bang", Xiao Yan swung out a punch with all her strength, she didn't know where she hit the other party, she didn't have much strength in her body now, but she still saw the other party curled up and fell, and then there was no sound.

Xiao Yan was startled at first, and then picked up her younger brother without any psychological pressure and ran out, her younger brother needed to see a doctor.

After getting out of the small warehouse and pulling the door bolt of the door, Xiao Yan ran out in a hurry.

Xiao Yan ran to the entrance of the village in one breath, and saw a small stone tablet at the entrance of the village engraved with the words 'Chengnan Village', she frowned and said, "It's the east of the village!" She looked around blankly, a little overwhelmed.

Seongnam Village is where she was born and where she has lived for fifteen years, and although there are many not-so-good memories, she is extremely familiar with this place, even if she has not been back for many years.

There are two exits in the village, the west entrance of the village is the main exit, and there is a wide road in front of it, although it is not very flat, but after all, it is the main road, and there are many people and vehicles.

At the end of the east entrance of the village, there is a long flood control levee built many years ago, and the flood water has almost insulated them from this place for many years, so the embankment has become a decoration, and few people come, especially at night, so it has also become a breeding ground for crime. After crossing the embankment, there are several villages, all of which are small roads.

There is no clinic in their village, and if the villagers want to see a doctor, they have to travel more than 20 miles to the county health center. However, if you want to go to the county health center, you can go to the two exits, and the avenues and trails are almost the same.

Xiao Yan didn't have time to think about it, she got on the D embankment, gritted her teeth all the way and continued to run north, she was no longer a little girl who could be scared by anyone.

She tightened the little brother's small body on her back, and then strode away. The road is quiet and there is not even a stray cat, dog and mouse hedgehog, the embankment is in disrepair, the road is full of potholes, it is dark, she does not dare to run too fast, this ten thousand falls and falls under the embankment, and if you don't die, you have to lack arms and legs.

In this way, they ran across the embankment without danger, and down the embankment is Chengbei Village, which is located in their Chengnan Village, which is much smaller than Chengnan Village, with only one brigade and hundreds of households. In fact, Chengnan Village is quite a large village among the nearby villages, with thousands of households.

Because there are few people and the residents live relatively sparsely, you need to cross a small forest to enter the village, and there is a sheep intestine path in the small forest, Xiao Yan just stepped on the path, and heard someone singing.

Listening to the voice, it should be a man, but a good song, let him sing it completely out of tune, and humming and chirping is very ambiguous.

Xiao Yan unconsciously slowed down, the poor countryside is still out to wander, it is estimated that there are only a limited number of good people, she doesn't want to take the risk just wanted to find a place to hide, so she accidentally stepped on a stone, and almost fell into a dog gnawing mud.

"Who!" The person who just hummed had already appeared, and the movement of Xiao Yan's fall just now alarmed him.

Xiao Yan hurriedly protected the little brother behind him, trying not to fall on him, and finally stabilized his figure, which was already unavoidable at this time.

She took two steps back, looked at the other party, and saw that the other party was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, and his body was swaying from side to side at this time, obviously drunk, and it turned out to be a drunk.

With her current small body and carrying a person on her back, if she is on the side, she will definitely suffer, but the loser does not lose the battle, and if the other party sees that you are afraid, it will be even worse.

The man looked at it with a blank eye, and smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, hey, it turned out to be a little girl, little girl, why are you going so late!" ”

Xiao Yan said loudly, "What do you care about me, hurry up and go away!" ”

"Hehe, why are you so loud, I'm kind enough to ask if I'm a bad guy, I'm afraid you'll meet a bad guy." The man patted his upright general's belly and walked towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly squatted down and picked up the 'stone' that had just tripped over her and threw it over ruthlessly.
