Chapter 11: Reminiscences

Clear skies, cloudless skies. Japan is full of summer all year round, and today is no exception. But it doesn't look hot today.

The sound of cicadas is endless. In this sunny weather. Our Aotian is still unconscious in the hospital room.

Rays of sunlight shone on that handsome face, and Shinji slowly opened his eyes. The breath was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant water. Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, "Hospital." I remember the last time I went to the hospital......"

Aotian fell into deep memories. "Bing'er, are you all right?"

That was the days after the orphanage caught fire. Aotian and a few friends picked up waste paper and plastic bottles in the garbage heap. Hopefully I can exchange some money to buy something to eat. In winter, the heavy snow closed the city, the weather was freezing, and Aotian, who had no clothes to keep warm, could only keep warm with his friends close to their bodies to keep each other warm. At that time, Xiao Aotian's body was too weak. On a snowy night, Aotian began to develop a high fever.

"Aotian, are you okay? Why is your head so hot? You've got a fever! A thin little girl touched Aotian's head and said nervously.

Looking at the girl in front of her who had her hair scattered and simply tied two and a half pairs of ponytails with only two rubber bands, although she was thin and pitiful, her eyes were unusually clear.

"Bing'er? I'm sorry. Obviously, this situation is causing you trouble. Aotian opened his eyes weakly and looked at the little girl beside him and said.

"Don't talk about Aotian, I'll take you to the hospital." With that, Bing'er called a few friends to carry Aotian into a nearby hospital.

After some treatment, the doctor looked at the skinny Aotian, his eyes were full of pity, and he said to the anxious children behind him, "Are you his friends?" ”

Bing'er hurriedly replied, "Yes, doctor, my name is Bing'er." May I ask the doctor, how is Aotian doing, will he be fine? Bing'er looked anxious, and her bright eyes were full of mist.

"Well, he's fine. It's just that I have a high fever, and it's good to get an injection. Look at your appearance, I'll pay for the medical bills for you. But that's all I can help you with, and you'll have to pay more attention to it in the future. The doctor chuckled at Bing'er. But there was still a hint of helplessness on his face.

"I see, thank you, doctor. We'll keep an eye out for it later. Bing'er's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, and she and her friends helped Aotian back to the dilapidated hut they had built to shelter from the wind and rain.

Bing'er helped Aotian to an old bed and lay down. Cover a quilt that is also broken, and then say softly. "Aotian. Rest well today, and we'll take care of the food problem. ”

"But. I'm going to help too......" Aotian frowned slightly. He struggled to sit up, but his newly raised body had to fall on the bed because of weakness.

"It's okay Aotian, leave it to us, didn't you give it to us when you found a lot of food in the past, this time we will take care of you." A little boy dressed in a beggar's costume said with a smile.

"yes, yes. Aotian, you have a good rest this time. The other little boy laughed as well.

"You ...... Well, okay. Please stay safe, please. Aotian also smiled. Then he lay back on the bed.

The friends left one after another. Only Aotian and Bing'er remained.

"Aotian, I remember a year ago, we were fighting with wild dogs for food, and we were chased by dogs all over the street. You were the one who ran away the wild dogs and rescued us, and from that moment on. You are an integral part of us. So you have to get better quickly, we can't live without you. Bing'er stroked Aotian's forehead and said softly. Don't forget, you said you'd marry me when we grow up. The girl smiled sweetly and then kissed Aotian lightly on the lips, and then jumped away.

Feeling the temperature on his lips, Aotian's cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled happily and fell asleep. But who knows, after this kiss, the two are separated by heaven and earth-

a.tfield――

It's night. The cold wind woke up the sleeping Aotian, and it had been a long time since he fell asleep and woke up. It's so late, why haven't you come back yet? Aotian was very uneasy, and finally couldn't help it, and rushed out of the room wrapped in a tattered garment, to look for his companions.

Rumble...... Rumble......

On the way, groups of wild drag racers passed by Aotian's side, and if it weren't for Aotian's quick reaction, he might have become a ghost under the wheels. But Aotian didn't have time to reason with them, he had to find his companions first.

After turning two streets, Aotian came to a garbage station that they often went to, the familiar garbage station door, and when Aotian found them, it was as if he had entered a nightmare. One by one, thin figures fell there. The snow beneath them was stained red. On their faces, there were expressions of disbelief, horror and fear, which showed how painful they were before they died. Looking at his partners who fell to the ground from afar, Aotian was stunned. But before he could speak, Aotian found a small figure next to a trash can not far away. A thin girl lay there quietly. In her hand, she clutched a piece of bread that had become a little moldy. This situation made Aotian like a lightning strike, and frantically rushed out and picked up the girl. However, no matter how Aotian called her, she couldn't pay any attention to it. Yes. Aotian's friends are all dead. Looking at the lifeless girl in his arms, the light in Aotian's eyes dissipated. He couldn't understand why his buddies had fallen here, what was the reason for them all to die here, Aotian put down Bing'er's gradually cold corpse, and began to look around for a trace that could be found, about a few minutes later, he found a long wheel mark beside each of his partners, recalling the drag racing clan who had just passed by him, Aotian's eyes shed unwilling tears, kneeling on the ground, looking up to the sky and roaring a thunderous roar.

Two years later, Aotian sat quietly beside a small mound of earth. There is a piece of wood in front of the mound, on which are clearly written the names of his friends. There was also a bouquet of wildflowers in front of the wood. Aotian sat alone with his hands on his knees, his head resting on his thighs, and there was no expression on his face. But tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. In the past two years, Aotian has been a lonely and lonely survival. He was already full of resentment towards the world, and the only place where he could feel a little comfort. It's sitting by this mound of dirt, hoping to hear the voices of his friends inside.

"Kid, are you alone?" An unfamiliar voice. Aotian looked up. I saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a black woolen trench coat, looking at himself with a smile on his face. Aotian didn't speak. Bowed his head again.

The middle-aged man looked at the wood next to him, and his eyes showed a sense of relief. Then he said to Aotian.

"Little friend, didn't you protect them?"

One sentence directly broke down Aotian's psychological defense. "Why...... Why is that? Yes!!!!! Aotian didn't hold back, roared at the sky, and all the tears that had been sealed for two years poured out at this moment.

For a long time, the middle-aged man gently stroked Aotian's head. He said sternly, "Little friend, you don't want to lose anything anymore, do you?" Then get stronger! ”

"Getting stronger?" Aotian flashed tears, and looked at the dignified person in front of him a little strangely.

"Yes, if you want to stop losing anything, if you want a good life, then get stronger!"

Aotian seems to have found hope again. Firm his heart, said loudly. "Uncle, I want to be stronger! I'm going to protect the one by my side! Uncle, sue me, what should I do! ”

"Huh." The middle-aged man smiled, with a hint of kindness in his smile, but there was a hint of cold light in his eyes. Of course, Aotian at that time would not have seen anything in his eyes. "Want to get stronger? Then wipe away your tears and come with me! ”

In this way, Aotian joined the killer organization and began a dangerous and lengthy training. However, this qiē will not be Aotian, after all kinds of life, Aotian is no longer afraid of any difficulties.

Six years later. Aotian took a bouquet of lilies and a bouquet of daisies and came to the two stone monuments. The daisy was placed under a black stele, and the names of the former friends were engraved on the black stele in turn. The lily was placed under a white stone tablet. The white stone tablet is engraved, beloved wife Bing'er, proud of the sky.

With a hint of sadness. Aotian smiled and looked at Yiqiē in front of him, remembering all the experiences at that time, as if it was just yesterday. He has no regrets about taking the path of a killer. Because it is this road, I have allowed myself to live a carefree life, so that my friends have a place to live. Let Bing'er have a warm home that will not be cold. A happy and contented home.

"Whew...... It seems like it's been a long time since I've shed tears like today. Aotian, who was awake from the memory, took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. I thought to myself. Although I came to another world. It seems like I'm still alone. My mother died, and my father was so cold. Thinking of this, Aotian's face once again showed a sad look. Helplessly looked at the window next to him, hoping to relieve his bad feelings with the help of the scenery outside the window. However, at the moment when he turned his head, Aotian saw a shadow. Blue broken hair, fair face. The bandage on her right eye and the plaster cast on her hand could not take away any of the girl's beauty. It's just that there are little fluctuations between the eyebrows because of the pain. Looking at the girl in front of her, the proud sadness unfolded. A smile crossed his face again. That sunny smile that used to be.

"It wasn't alone." Aotianxin, who was smiling all over his face, said that he was not alone. Because there is also their save.

looked at the ceiling again, and at this moment, Aotian's eyes were full of confidence and determination. clenched his fists.

"What I didn't protect in my previous life, I won't give up in this life. Absolutely not! Even if it is a qiē, you must protect them and protect their bright smiles like angels! ”
