Chapter 13: The Warmth of Human Nature
Leaving the cage surrounded by love, leaving the embrace of being cared for and imprisoned, I suddenly felt relaxed, as if I had removed the heavy shackles.
It was another night, it was still early, but the cold air still made me shiver.
came out in a hurry, the clothes were still thin short-sleeved and a thin coat, and the shoes were just a pair of home cotton slippers. Walking on the road, even if no one is looking at me, I feel like a, but without the dirt on my clothes.
"Whew!"
The cold wind kept blowing past my ears, and the cold sound was like the roar of death.
At lunch today, Christao also told me that it would cool down at night, and in the afternoon I also changed into thicker sheets and quilts with them, and in the evening I also prepared the coat for Ouyang Ze to wear tomorrow early...
It's just that now I'm still going to be frozen, and I still can't feel the soft touch and temperature of the quilt, and I still can't put that coat on him...
But these are nothing compared to freedom. I'd rather choose the cold, I'd rather choose to wander, I'd rather choose to abandon love, I want to insist on the freedom I seek!
The road to the city center is like a road to heaven, in order not to let Ouyang Ze find me, I specially did not take the avenue, but just marched in the direction of the city from the small road in the woods.
I don't know where the courage came from, I was scared to death when I walked on the road that night, and I didn't feel scared at all when I walked on such a small broken road today, and even a little exciting.
The bright moonlight has sprinkled every corner of the road, and it is the time of the main meal, and the road is deserted during the day, and there are also a few vehicles heading for the city. The cold moonlight urged them to drive faster, urged them to miss their families, and urged Ouyang Ze to find me...
I don't know that the car is driven by Ouyang Ze, but even if I know, I don't want to be found by him so quickly. I'm going to enjoy the moment of freedom to the fullest, and enjoy this rare pleasure.
The path in the woods was just hard to walk, and the narrow path was covered with broken branches and leaves, and in the dark night, it was impossible to distinguish where the road was and where the grass was.
At this time, it is the best choice to call Christao and ask her to take her in, otherwise when I get to the city center and have nowhere to go, then I will really become a wanderer.
Habitually fumbling in my jacket pocket, but the empty pockets were laughing at the phone I forgot to carry, which had the only connection to the world.
What should I do, I didn't take my phone, and I don't know where Chris Tao lives, do you want to go back the same way, back to that trap of love, and back to Ouyang Ze's arms?
Bursts of cold wind kept caressing my arms, and I had to keep rubbing them with my hands, hoping that the temperature from this friction would bring me some warmth.
Dirty, disgusting, slutty... The moment my palm touched my arm, the words kept coming to mind...
Yes, I am very filthy, and I have been touched by countless people; I was disgusted, and I sold my soul for money; I'm very lowly, so lowly that I'm willing to imprison my freedom...
I don't want to go back, even if I'm freezing to death outside. Even though my heart is full of love for Ouyang Ze, my dirty body is no longer worthy of his noble identity, and I can't afford the happiness he gives me.
Go on, go down without purpose, this is the behavior of a lowly man like me...
After today, where can we go tomorrow... My passport, my luggage, everything I had was in that cage, and I fled with only my broken body, and where would I go tomorrow...
After walking for an hour, I felt the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, and the colorful neon lights were like my previous bright life. It's just that now I can never go back to the past, and my downfall can no longer be the focus of attention...
What you can't get is the most beautiful, and what you hold in the palm of your hand will never look up and hope for the beauty.
In this noisy city, I was like a headless fly, walking aimlessly through the streets and alleys. Passing by one shop after another, past one restaurant after another. The hunger in my stomach and the cold in my body left me with no strength to go any further, and finally, I succumbed to the stomach pain and collapsed on the road.
My stomach is still so angry, even if Christao does everything possible to treat it, at the critical moment, it still brings me physical pain as always.
Leaning against the telephone pole, the cold air on the ground was like poisonous snakes, surging at me from all directions, leaving the cold venom on my body with their poisonous teeth.
What I admire most about Americans is their "nosy" attitude.
When I was seen lying on the ground, almost every pedestrian came up to me and asked me about my condition. Within twenty seconds, I was surrounded by water.
None of them watched the excitement, and they all conveyed their little care to me. Although the physical pain made me break out in a cold sweat, the warmth of human affection made my heart surge with a trace of warmth.
He was already embarrassed enough, and he couldn't be sent to the police station and then led home by Ouyang Ze. It only lowers my worth even more and stimulates my self-esteem even more.
“Thanks…”
In order to disperse the crowd, I tried my best to smile at them and pretend that they were safe. Only then will they leave and give me the right to restore my self-esteem.
I said I just accidentally fell, but everyone doesn't seem to believe such an excuse. The beads of sweat on my forehead were the basis for their suspicions.
Someone still came up to me and held me, and even though I needed a shoulder to lean on and someone to support me, I still chose to stay away.
“No,thankyouI’mOK…”
I repeated this to everyone around me, and although they still looked uneasy, they could only let me limp away with stubbornness.
Everyone's love is the same, there are no national differences, there are no human differences...
Although I escaped from that warm home, in this cold night, I still felt the warmth of humanity and the care of other people.
It was getting darker and darker, and the pain in my stomach was tormenting my body and nerves little by little. Walking aimlessly is undoubtedly going to hell and to the cliff, but I have no other choice but to go down with my "dirty" body...
