"Mengyao, are you there?"

Huai Xu looked at the darkness in front of him blankly, he didn't know if the woman was in the house, Meng Yao was very mysterious, Huai Xu knew that Meng Yao's appearance was like an accident, and suddenly crashed into his life, he never expected Meng Yao to stay here, the endless loneliness in the darkness He was trapped in the cage alone, the years were endless, how dare he greedily want to stay alone, but Meng Yao has never left since the day he appeared, as long as he called, Meng Yao will appear.

Of course he didn't know that Mengyao was standing opposite him at this time, with distress and guilt in his beautiful eyes, staring at him quietly, Mengyao raised his hand and stroked Huaixu's face, and whispered,

"Little blind, I'm here."

After the fire fifteen years ago, Huaixu was homeless and living on the streets, holding a Xun in his arms, which was the only thing he rescued, everything disappeared overnight, his mother and father were buried in the fire, the house was also burned in the raging fire, he was blind, only a five-year-old child, curled up in this cold corner, Huaixu picked up the Xun and blew it gently, and the sound of Xun attracted passers-by to stop.

"Whose child is this? It's pathetic. ”

The man's voice was full of pity, indeed, now the dirty Huaixu is like an abandoned puppy, with no home and no way back, the person next to him sighed and said.

"Last night, Huai's house caught fire, the fire burned the two adults and the house, after the fire was extinguished, the corpses were burned to the ashes, mixed in the ashes and could not be found, the child was also blinded by the fire."

"Speaking of which, the Huai family is all good people, why did they suffer this unwarranted disaster? The two of them are all gone, leaving such a child alone and helpless, what a sin. ”

The tragedy in this world may only be the talk of others, or earn a few tears of sympathy, no one empathizes, and no one understands the pain in the hearts of the parties, and there are well-meaning people who leave a few words of comfort, and that's it, but still thanks to these kindnesses, no matter what way you choose, everyone has difficulties, but at that moment they chose kindness, even if they can't give too much help, but those kindnesses are enough to be remembered.

The pedestrians gradually moved away, and there was a little broken silver beside Huaixu, I don't know if it was because of Huaixu's tragic experience, or because of the sound of his playing, he sat on the cold ground, passers-by were passers-by after all, they were just a momentary stay, and no one would really stay for an insignificant person.

The heart was too painful, Huai Xu hugged his legs and sobbed lowly, that was the most helpless response of a five-year-old child to fate, the day before he still had everything, but it was just a night, and everything was gone.

"Daddy, mother, Huaixu misses you so much."

No one will take his little hand again, no one will open his warm arms to him, he is just an ignorant child, he is overwhelmed by everything that happened, he does not know why the fire started, he does not know why his father and mother fell and never woke up, but he knows that he has nothing.

The cold wind blew through his thin clothes, he had not eaten for a day, his stomach was hungry, he groped the ground, and it seemed that a few kind people had given him some broken silver, and he could go and buy a bun to fill his stomach.

There was a lot of dirt on the ground, and his hands were dirty, but he didn't care at all, or he didn't feel anything, he was a blind man now, and all he could see with his eyes was now a blank world, a nothingness, which made him tremble with fear, but he had to accept this identity, and from then on he had to learn to give up his eyes, but everything could not be changed so easily, his body was only cramped and uneasy, obviously those broken silver were next to him, but he couldn't find it.

Huai Xu continued to crawl on the ground looking for the broken silver, the broken silver had not been found, and suddenly he touched a pair of small and delicate shoes, Huai Xu was stunned in place, bowing his head in panic He was afraid that this person would scold him, after all, he was offending others.

"Would you like to eat steamed buns?"

There was a woman's silver bell-like voice overhead, and the woman handed him a bag of steaming buns, a large white bun with meat filling in a paper bag, fragrant and touching, stimulating the sense of smell of Huaixu's nose, his stomach was very hungry, and there was a gurgling sound from time to time, and Huaixu was more and more embarrassed and did not dare to look up at the woman in front of him. Seeing that he was embarrassed to take it, the woman stuffed it into his arms, and the hot paper bag fell into her arms, and her body suddenly felt a burst of warmth.

"You're hungry, eat quickly."

The woman urged Huai Xu, but Huai Xu hesitated to take it, his mother once told him, don't take other people's things easily, that is rude, if someone else is sincere to you, then you have to thank that person.

"This is for you, you can eat it with confidence."

The woman helped Huai Xu up, Huai Xu thanked him in a panic, and suddenly a person approached in the vast darkness, and Huai Xu's heart was nervous.

"Thank you."

Huaixu's cautious appearance amused the woman,

"I'm not a bad person, what are you afraid of me doing?"

Huai Xu hurriedly shook his head, bought him steamed buns to eat, and didn't dislike the person who helped him up with his dirt, how could he be a bad person?

"My name is Mengyao, I will be by your side in the future, you are not allowed to drive me away."

The woman's words completely shocked Huaixu, and the bun in his arms almost spilled, he thought that he had heard it wrong, could it be that his ears also had a problem.

"What did you say?"

Huai Xu stood there in fear, he thought that the woman was teasing him, but the woman should have said,

"I said, I'm going to follow you in the future."

Follow him? Follow him, the blind man? This sentence was really said by the woman next to him, and he could hear every word clearly, but Huai Xu smiled bitterly.

"Thank you for giving me the buns, but I have nothing on me except a Xun left by my parents, you shouldn't follow me, I have nothing but to make you suffer."

The woman obviously didn't care, she wasn't human, and the suffering of the world was nothing to her.

"I don't care, I'm going to follow you."

Huai Xu was a little helpless about the woman in front of him who didn't eat oil and salt, he was a five-year-old child who knew something, how could this person who sounded like he was older than him not understand? Huai Xu sighed helplessly, what should he say to make the woman in front of him understand that there will be no good life with him.

"But I have no father or mother, and now I am an orphan."

Huai Xu tried to scare off this persistent girl with her life experience.

"I also have no father or mother, and now I am an orphan."

She is the candle spirit of the ever-bright lamp, the ever-bright lamp is made of mermaid paste, so it is endless, it is worshiped in front of the Buddha, and the pilgrims use it to add lamp oil to keep the everlasting lamp, listen to the scriptures and chant the Buddha every day, and be illuminated by the Buddha's light, and gradually have spiritual sense, she is interested in the prosperity of the world, and then quietly entered the red dust, born without a father and mother, she is the same as Huaixu, she is also an orphan.

I didn't think that the woman was an orphan like him, so he felt pity in his heart, but he was ruthless, even if it didn't work, with him, this woman would suffer, he was helpless, and he couldn't let her be helpless.

"So, do you have a favorite?"

Something you like? The woman blurted out,

"I like to eat lamp oil."

Huai Xu almost dropped his jaw in shock,

"Lamp oil?"

Is that what people eat?

The woman was unaware of her words,

"Of course, I'm a candle spirit, what do you eat if you don't eat lamp oil?"

If at the beginning when the woman said that she wanted to follow him, Huai Xu was just surprised, but now the woman said that she was Lingshi, which was what shocked Huai Xu, Huai Xu felt that the whole world was mysterious, he had only heard that in addition to human beings in this world, there were many different human beings, but these Huai Xu had never seen it before, but now there was a woman who claimed to be a spirit standing in front of him, this should be believed or not.

"But I don't have the money to buy you lamp oil."

The woman picked up the broken silver on the ground and put it in Huaixu's hand with a smile.

"Isn't that there?"

The broken silver was a little prickly, but Huai Xu knew its preciousness, and held it tightly in his hand, Huai Xu looked at the darkness in front of him, it should be in front of him, there was a woman standing with a smile, he couldn't see the woman's face, but it should be warm like a beam of light.

"After all this is spent, I won't have the money to buy you lamp oil."

The woman gave Huai Xu a violent shudder, which made Huai Xu's forehead hurt,

"You're stupid, can't you just make money?"

Huai Xu's eyes were gloomy, what else could he do if he lost his sight, so he said to himself,

"I'm out of sight, how can I make money?"

Seeing Huai Xu's lost appearance, the woman's heart ached, she had to let Huai Xu regain her confidence, so that Huai Xu would have hope of living.

"Look, you still have Tao Xun, how nice the sound you blow is, isn't the broken silver in your hand what you earned?"

Huai Xu was stunned, a series of blows made him only see the hopelessness and darkness in front of him, but he didn't notice what else he had, yes, he still had legs and feet, he still had Tao Xun, and he also had the skill of blowing Tao Xun.

That's enough.

The gray heart opened a window in an instant, he suddenly opened up, how difficult it is to live, his parents tried their best to rescue him, what qualifications did he have to give up hope in life, at least now, he has a reason to live well.

"And how are you going to eat lamp oil?"

Huai Xu is still a little curious, the woman is a candle spirit, will she eat like them humans?

"I don't eat it, it eats."

A red candle appeared in the woman's hand, the red candle flickered with dazzling light, Huai Xu carefully wanted to touch the red candle, he seemed to feel the temperature of the light, but it was still dark in front of him.

"You can't touch it yet, it's going to burn you."

Huai Xu withdrew his hand and said with some hesitation,

"So what should I do?"

The woman thought about it, her eyes fell on the lantern hanging in front of a family's house, and she had an idea,

"Buy a lantern and put it up."

Huai Xu thought about it, why didn't he think of it?

From then on, a person, a red candle, a Tao Xun, in this world, only they snuggled up to each other, it was all of the boy, and it was also all of the candle spirit, the boy's name was Huaixu, and the candle spirit was called Mengyao.
