Chapter 8: The Reincarnation of Three Lives (Part II)
Snow poured down from the sky like goose feathers, and this kind of weather has been going on in this small town for half a month. The snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, and people creak when they step on it.
However, despite the weather, it did not hinder people's enthusiasm for life in the slightest, and the cries on the flyover drifted away with the billowing heat of the stalls on both sides of the street.
The people who came and went wore thick jackets, so that they could not feel the cold of the weather at all.
"Hey, boy, stop me!
I saw a child shuttling through the crowd of people, and behind him there were some people from large families desperately chasing after him.
The people are not as agile as children, pushing and shoving in the crowd. The passers-by had fire in their hearts, but when they saw the word "white" on the back of the clothes they were wearing, it was obviously a tyrant in the small town, a descendant of the Bai family, so they suppressed the anger in their hearts.
Seeing that the child was about to get rid of the Bai family's chase, the child's heart was relieved, but the soles of his feet slipped and he fell off the overpass. This fall was very fatal, the child's legs fell so painfully that he temporarily lost the ability to escape, and lay on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up.
However, the Bai family had already caught up and surrounded the child.
"I said, I told you to stop, you kid is deaf. As he spoke, a long-faced man was a foot on the child's lower abdomen.
The child had just stood firm but fell to the ground, clenching the crown of his teeth, protecting his chest with both hands, and not saying a word.
"Did you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? How dare you go to Old Man Bai's house to steal something to eat!" Another kick was on the child's lower abdomen, and the child's nose suddenly became sore.
Then, without a word, several subordinates of the Bai family surrounded the child and punched and kicked, and several subordinates who were facing each other specifically kicked at the lower abdomen of the child.
The child only felt a tumbling in his abdomen, and the tearing sensation raged in his abdomen, and then finally he could not grit his teeth anymore, and vomited the food in his stomach to the ground, and some accidentally splashed on the pants and shoes of several subordinates.
"Fuck, it's bad luck today!" the splashed man kicked a few times harder.
In this way, several subordinates began to gasp for breath before they scolded and walked away.
The Bai family gradually walked away, and the child took out a bag of things from his chest, opened it and checked it, it turned out to be a few snacks that others had eaten.
Seeing that the snack was not broken, the child smiled with joy. Then, enduring the pain, he stood up with difficulty, and slowly walked forward with his support for the wall.
In this small town, people in the past talked and laughed, but did not dare to notice the atrocities suffered by children, or deliberately indifferent and pretended to be unaware. No one is stupid enough to offend the local snake in this city for the sake of a little beggar.
I don't know how long the child walked, and he walked into a dead end. The alley is not large, and there is a shelter in the corner made of several wooden planks stacked on top of each other, which seems to be a shelter for stray cats and dogs. I saw the child lean down and get into the "shelter".
The "shelter" is mostly dark, and the sunlight rushes through the cracks and becomes the only candlelight here. Looking closely, there was a little girl in the corner who was wearing a lot of shabby clothes, curled up into a ball against the wall and shivered, and the child crawled over and pushed the little girl.
The little girl lifted her head buried in her clothes and saw him, her face was full of excitement, "Brother, you're back!"
"Well, sister, let's see what delicious food my brother has brought back for you. As he spoke, the elder brother took out the snack in his arms and handed it to the girl.
"Egg yolk crisp!" exclaimed the girl, "this is my favorite food!"
"Eat, it's all yours. As he spoke, the brother sent the egg yolk crisp to the girl's mouth.
"Brother, let's eat together!" said the girl, looking at the crisp in his hand.
"I've eaten other good things, and this is specially for you!" the brother covered his lower abdomen, pretending to be very full, and hiccuped a few times.
"That ......" the girl hesitated slightly, she hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time, let alone a small snack like this that only rich people could enjoy.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, don't let down my brother's heart!" the brother urged, stroking his sister's hand holding the snack.
The girl thought for a while, and silently put the egg yolk crisp into her mouth. When my brother saw the girl eating, he had the illusion that the bruises on his lower abdomen and back were not so hot and painful.
The girl finished the crisp piece by piece, looked up, and smiled at her brother.
The brother smiled and scratched the corner of the girl's mouth with his fingers, which were hanging on the crispy pieces, and then took a deep sip of his fingers.
Originally, they lived with their parents in a hut on the mountain, guarding a piece of land, although they were not rich, but at least they could eat enough, and they could have done this until they grew up. However, the old man Bai in the small town is an insatiable person, and he is superstitious about the words of a feng shui master, so he has to occupy their family's land as a cemetery for himself.
And their parents didn't want to give up their few acres of land, but one night when the family was asleep, Master Bai sent someone to secretly throw a torch at the sleeping family.
That night, the fire on the mountainside was like a bonfire. It's just that the party was too poignant for the two children, whose parents died in the fire for their deaths. So, from then on, the brother and sister depended on each other, and the brother swore to his dead parents that he would take care of his sister and steal for a living, and this was the first winter they lost their parents, and perhaps the last.
"Brother, I'm a little cold, it's getting colder lately!" the girl said, leaning closer to her brother.
"Don't be afraid, after this while, it will be spring soon! When spring comes, I will take you to catch butterflies in the usual mountains. The elder brother comforted the girl like an adult.
The brother and sister fell asleep as they spoke
......
Another rooster crowed, and the sun crept over the horizon as usual. woke up his brother, who was still asleep, and the brother rubbed his sleepy eyes, and pushed his sister who was snuggled on his shoulder, trying to wake up his sister.
I shook it for a long time, but the girl didn't wake up for half a day. The elder brother seemed to think of something terrible, and he felt a trembling hand towards the girl's face, and a cold cold came from his fingertips to his heart.
"Ahh
Ignoring the pain on his body, his brother was only crying loudly.
"Wake up, wake up, can't sleep, get up. Helpless tears flowed down the boy's cheeks, which still had some bruises, "We have to wait for the beginning of spring to catch butterflies, blue, golden, green, colorful ......"
My sister still couldn't open her eyes, and I don't know how long it took, until a man picked up the plank, and the cold wind blew across his brother's face.
The elder brother looked up at the visiting man, whose face was covered by a mask. The man said bluntly, "Do you want your sister to come back to life?"
As soon as my brother heard this, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he hugged his sister and immediately stood up, "What did you say?"
"If you want him to be resurrected, let her go and come to me. The man said indifferently.
My brother was shocked that his sister could be resurrected, which was undoubtedly the best thing he had ever heard in his life. The elder brother hesitated, but reluctantly put down his sister and walked over to the man.
Just as he was about to reach the man, the man threw off his cloak. The elder brother's vision was blocked by the cloak, and when the cloak fell lightly to the ground, a red and hot dagger was inserted into the brother's heart.
The elder brother looked at the man in shock as he held the dagger in his hand and stuck it in his heart, the skin and flesh emitted a burning smell, and the hot dagger melted his flesh and bones. But he couldn't feel the pain anymore, and his brother laboriously raised his hand, tightly grasped the hand of the man holding the dagger mask, gasped for breath, and said with difficulty, "Help her...... Save ......"
The masked man let go of his grip on the dagger, stepped back, and slowly took off his mask. That face was so familiar, and after a closer look, my brother was shocked to find that that face was actually the same face that he also had, or it was exactly the same face.
"Hey, it's time to wake up!" the corners of the man's mouth curled, "Tell me your name!"
The elder brother frowned, and countless images floated in front of him. Beichen Star Field, Wasteland, Broken Moon Mountain, that night...... Countless memories came flooding back to my mind.
"Say your name out loud. The masked man said coldly.
"Wasteland, my name is Wasteland," my brother said calmly, and then looked back at his sister reluctantly, "This dream is so long, Third World." ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole world shattered again, and countless fragments turned into a gust of wind and tightly wrapped the whole body of the desolate sky, and then disappeared and disappeared.
Only the barren sky and the "barren sky" remained, and the knife stuck in the heart.
Time beat slowly, and the two were once again enveloped in darkness.
