Chapter 533: Passing Clouds
On the streets of Xicheng, which was eroded by heavy rain, Han Dui's figure broke through the rain curtain and kept running.
On this kind of rainstorm day, if you drive too fast, it is easy to get into an accident, and he is now in a state of exhaustion, so he can't get out of a serious car accident safely.
Therefore, Han Du could only use the most primitive method to hurry, even if his legs were filled with lead and his chest was hot, he gritted his teeth and persevered, hoping to see Sofina in a second faster, without the slightest slack.
Fortunately, the location pointed out by Cang Tong was not far from Han Dui's original location, and it was still within the range of his physical strength, so he would not run until he vomited blood.
When Han Du finally arrived at his destination and saw the sign above his head, his mood sank, and in front of him was a port, called Jiangnan Port, which was not anywhere else, it was the place where he first met Sofina...
According to the information described by Cangtong, Sofina came to Xicheng on a cruise ship, and it was at Jiangnan Port that she disembarked and encountered Shura's attack, but after being seriously injured, she did not flee far away, but hid in Jiangnan Port, which is not because of something "The most dangerous place is the safest place", but there is only one possibility...
Sofina was hit hard! The whole person is hovering on the verge of death, and he can't even escape from the port, so he can only hide on the spot.
Han Du clenched his fists and unconsciously wrenched his thumb, but now he couldn't feel the pain...
After a short silence, Han Du rushed into Jiangnan Port, which was closed due to heavy rain, and fortunately, Sofina's hiding place was well hidden, and the heavy rain washed away all traces, Shura couldn't continue the chase at that time, otherwise, she would have been a cold corpse by now.
According to the information provided by Cang Tong, Han Du walked around the complex warehouse area for a while, and then stood in front of the door of a warehouse, and slowly put his hand on the doorknob of the warehouse...
Han Twilight could swear that he had never been so nervous in his life, his heart beating wildly seemed to rush out of his chest, the blood in his limbs seemed to start flowing backwards, and all his strength disappeared without a trace, making him almost fall to the ground for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Han Dui bit the tip of his tongue hard, dispelled the feeling of powerlessness with severe pain, and finally pushed the door of the warehouse open with force.
The moment Han Du saw the inside of the warehouse, he could clearly feel that his heart had never jerked like never before, and with a violent paralysis and pain, his heartbeat seemed to stop...
…
Twelve years ago, that era of darkness and chaos, that era of war and chaos, that era when all legends were still unknown...
South America, a place full of blood and corpses, where there is never a shortage of wars, and the local slums are also the same, where guns and drugs are everywhere like firewood, rice, oil, and salt in a peaceful world.
Here, everyone lives in hell, but there is one creature that lives happily, and that is the rats in the gutter, because they are never short of food, and fresh corpses are found in the sewers every day, some intact and some gnawed by hungry refugees.
Of course, the rats don't care about that, the corpses are rarely disposed of anyway, they don't mind being a free cleaner, these big fat guys live a carefree life every day, and they just need to be afraid of the crows who also covet the corpses.
It's a place of stench and decay, in a dilapidated bungalow...
The sound of things falling to the ground kept coming, and in the house, a little boy was falling to the ground, and next to him stood a skinny middle-aged man, punching and kicking him.
The middle-aged man cursed as he beat and cursed, and the spit kept spitting from between his yellow teeth, as filthy as the slum itself.
Just as the middle-aged man beat the little boy unconscious, a younger girl suddenly ran out of the shadow of the house, she had long white and blonde hair, and although her handsome little face was full of stains, it was still absolutely beautiful, and it did not fit in with the dirt around her.
…
This year, his fangs have not yet sharpened, and her right eye has not yet been deeply scarred...
…
I saw that the girl pushed the middle-aged man hard, and seeing that she couldn't push it, she directly gritted her teeth and pounced on the boy, blocking the middle-aged man's fists and feet for him.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man became even more furious, grinning and said, "Okay, Sofina, it was Eureka who protected you before, and now you have learned to protect him, right?" I'll see how long you can take care of it! ”
The middle-aged man showed no mercy at all, and directly kicked Sofina in the side face, judging from his figure, he should be a late-stage addict, his whole body is skinny, and he will not have much strength.
But Sofina was so young, her immature face couldn't stand the adult's hard kick at all, and the flesh was directly opened, the blood was dripping, and the whole person flew to the side.
As Sofina fell to the ground, her gaze silently moved to the ceiling of rotting wood, and there was no pain, no sadness, not the slightest dissatisfaction with the present situation, only a silent numbness.
Because, this is her life, or rather, this is her life, a fate that cannot be changed from the moment of birth.
The Old Testament of the Bible, Deuteronomy 32:4, says, "He is the Rock, and His works are perfect; He did nothing unjust, an honest and unhypocritical God, righteous and upright. ”
Christians enshrine it as a holy canon, and Sofina calls it shit.
Fair? Justice? The lies concocted by a group of peaceful greenhouse flowers, bathed in the sun, eating never-ending bread, brewing honey with sweet and moist purified water, without thinking about how to survive, spend a lot of time every day emotionally singing hymns and sighs, praising the God in their hearts, imagining the future of ascending to heaven after death, and then telling you: "God loves the world, this world is beautiful, you should praise yourself for gaining life." ”
The slums never mind letting these self-righteous wretches know the lowliness of their faith, and not long ago some loving missionaries came here to try to influence the local people who had fallen into the arms of Satan with their faith.
Outcome? Quite simply, the obese mice had a few more meals per meal.
Their clothes were snatched away, their pockets emptied, the sacred texts in their hands were used as toilet paper, and almost all the holes in their bodies, both men and women, were inserted.
At this time, what about their faith? What about their gods? The drums are mourning, and the silence is silent...
From birth, Sofina had no concept of peace or justice in her heart, because the first thing she had to think about every time she opened her eyes was how to survive today.
Sofina stole some paper at the cost of a beating, made a few lots herself, and she couldn't write, so she replaced them with symbols, each representing a way to live.
She went to the exit of the slum to stand and see if any of the hypocrites were interested in her, and then she could pretend to be pitiful and trick this person in, let the hungry poor people on the side of the road kill him, and take a share of the pie when he robbed the relics, which was the most labor-saving method, and the disadvantage was that it was not every day that such fools took the bait.
There are many other lots, such as stealing food and stealing money at the risk of being beaten and killed.
For example, kneel down to your father and see if he is willing to give him an extra piece of moldy bread.
Another example is that you can choose to be hungry for a day, save today's ration of food for tomorrow to eat together, and have a little addiction.
Sofina's least favorite thing to do is to go to the chubby rats and see if she can catch one roasted, or to see if the gluttons have leftover corpses left behind, and she can find some clean parts to deal with her hungry belly.
Drawing lots to determine the way of life today is perhaps the only thing that sets Sofina apart from other paupers, and she can only use this method to make her life less boring.
Sometimes, there are newspapers in the slums, and Sofina has picked up some in the garbage heap, and whenever she sees the people in the newspapers with sunny looks and smiles on their faces, she is puzzled.
What the hell is this expression? Squinting slightly, the corners of the mouth are upturned, and sometimes white teeth are exposed, what does this expression mean?
Sofina didn't know, because the world of the slums didn't have this expression, but occasionally when she was bored, she would secretly learn to practice, and slowly, she also learned a lot of expressions, and she could interpret them vividly, of course, in this place where there was only depravity and greed, these were not used, it was just a tool for recreation, nothing more.
If Sofina had any wishes, it might be to die early, but she was also a little unwilling, if she died like this, her body would be picked up while it was hot and vented, and then given to the rats who were already too fat to walk.
Maybe one day, there will be children like her, who will catch the lot she made, run to grab food from the mice, and gnaw off her corpse bit by bit.
Of course, there is another reason why Sofina did not choose to die, and that is her brother.
Sofina, like most slum children, has a father who is addicted to drugs, a mother who can exchange two loaves of bread for one night, and if anything, she has an older brother who bleeds the same blood.
In Sofina's memory, the older brother named Eureka had a cold personality, like most slum boys, but he was very bold, and would often run out of the slums, or into the depths of the slums that ordinary people would not dare to enter, and then come back to tell her stories about what he had seen and heard.
And in the past, whenever Sofina made a mistake and wanted to be beaten, Eureka would always run out to block her punches and kicks, and their father was physically weak because of drug abuse, so he often lost his strength after fighting, and he would not continue to toss her.
So in a sense, this brother is her patron saint, and it may be the only glimmer of light in this darkness, like a life-saving straw, she is holding on tightly, so that there is still a little bit of hope in her heart...
Sofina didn't know how to reciprocate this, until one day, she saw in the newspaper that when a man and a woman were together, one of them would use his lips to put his lips on the other's lips, and at this time, there seemed to be a more satisfying expression on their faces than a full stomach.
Sofina didn't know why this simple action was more satisfying than eating, but she decided to learn it as a reward for her brother and some kind of attempt, so one day, she put her own lips to Eureka's lips.
It seems that the seeds of the forbidden are rooted from here...
