Chapter Ninety-Nine: There Is No End to Suffering
"Hey! Feed! ”
Who's calling?
I'm so tired I can't lift my head
I'm in so much pain, don't hit me
I really won't do it again
She wasn't conscious yet, but she could still feel someone working on her clothes. Is it a thief? Do people like themselves steal too? Could he have beaten himself up for not being able to steal something?
This is inevitable
But it doesn't matter
God, where are you now?
It's Christmas, so how long has it been since I've had this holiday? It feels like it's been 5 years. No, that should just be the result of time slowing down. Actually, it's only been one year, maybe last year's Christmas, it ended too early
1 year and a half ago
"The cake is on the table, eat it yourself."
These were the first words the little girl heard when she entered the house that day, and she looked for the sound and saw that the person was a little different that day
Her family was not wealthy, and her father was drafted into the army for the damn Great Power War, leaving her and "that person" in the family.
In fact, that person lives at home with her, and although she is poor, she can persevere, and sometimes she can find some fun from ordinary days
This continued until early 1918, when the bad news reached the family, which could not stand the storm, that her father had died in battle.
She didn't have much feeling for this father, because she was only 3 years old in 1918. And that person couldn't accept this at all, and the man's cry spread all over the neighborhood, but she didn't understand anything at the time, but she seemed to feel something, and cried with that person.
From that incident onwards, the person gradually changed, becoming very irritable, impatient, and irritable. The man still regarded her as a burden to himself, and he didn't care about her as much as he used to
And her life has become worse day by day, and she has begun to hate that person in her heart
In this way, although they hate each other in their hearts, no one has achieved the irreparable step, and in this way, they have maintained a delicate balance, and three and a half years have passed.
And today, her situation is in stark contrast to usual.
First of all, starting with this cake, her family background does not allow such things to be bought on weekdays, and that person will even invite herself to eat such a big cake, although it can be clearly seen that this is leftovers
Moreover, it is that person's attitude towards himself, if he is normal, he will not take care of himself at all, although he will also do his own share of the meal, but if he does not eat on time, he will never keep it for himself. And today, that person actually took the initiative to ask himself to eat, such an abnormality is really suspicious
In the end, that person is laughing today, a happy smile, not the crazy smile that used to be. She hadn't seen her smile like that since her father was gone, she had been living in a haze, and although she had tried to understand the man, it was in vain, and it only brought more pain
However, she was no longer interested in the man. She didn't reprimand herself, but gave herself cake to eat, this kind of good thing is not much, she has to cherish it, there is no need to spoil such a good scene for the sake of curiosity.
The days went by like this, their lives gradually became better, and the happy days of that person became more and more, although they still ignored her a little, but they could always bring her some better and better food, for her, this was enough, she hoped that her days would go on like this, and the original painful days would never come back
However, things are unpredictable. One day, the man came back earlier than usual, but this time she was empty-handed, she didn't bring anything with her, and judging by the man's expression, she was angry, and she was not lightly angry
Maybe she had been indulging in a good life for too long, or maybe she was too hungry to forget that person's nature and took the initiative to ask that person for food.
Just like imagined, she was scolded for her blood, and she was used to these painless words, she just wanted to eat, no matter how she was scolded. However, today is a little different, the man's anger does not seem to be calmed down at all, on the contrary, the complaints about her daily life have turned into extremely vicious curses. If this was an ordinary child, it is estimated that she would have been unable to stand the blow and ran out crying, but she didn't, she was still standing there
This day became another turning point in their lives, and the relationship between the two fell below freezing point again, and neither party made efforts to save it until Christmas Eve 1 year ago
She returned home for dinner, only to find a man sitting at the table, a man she had never seen before. She naively thought it was a guest, and of course, she didn't have much to say about that person's guest, she just took off her shoes as usual and prepared to go into the house to eat.
However, no sooner had he taken off one of his thick boots than the man walked over. There is no kind of care on his expression, and there is no recent disgust, but only indifference, as cold as an ice cube.
The man pulled a wad of bills out of his apron and stuffed them directly into the pocket of her wide coat. She was at a loss, she had never had so much money, and she couldn't guess what the man meant today, if it was for her to buy something, it would be too much.
The man said in words as cold as her expression: "Go, don't come back, take the money, go as far as possible, we will no longer have anything to do with each other in the future." ”
She was stunned, she didn't understand what the person meant, but there was no place for her here, and naturally there was no time for her to think
She was pushed out hard and fell on the snow outside, although she had a thick coat for protection, and the snow underneath was also padded, so it didn't hurt at all, but she felt very painful, and the pain was so painful that she suffocated
"Pounds!"
When she came out, the door was slammed shut, and she stared blankly at the familiar and unfamiliar door, wishing in her heart that she would open it for herself again.
Perhaps the heavens heard her call, and the door soon opened again. However, before she could rejoice, she threw out the boot she had just taken off from the door, and then the door closed again, and this time it was eternal
As for the money that allowed her to survive in the future, she only used a small part, and the rest was robbed by the local ruffians. From that day on, she lived a wandering life in the dark
