Chapter 3 Ugly and Niuniu

This winter, Niuniu's mother was sick, maybe she could still survive ordinary diseases, but not this time, she was very sick, Niuniuniang was getting haggard day by day, and gradually, she couldn't even struggle to beg.

One day, the skinny Niu Niuniang was lying in the broken temple, the sun was shining on her body, the sun was still bright, and her face was still gray.

Niuniu lay on her mother and cried helplessly, Ugly was on the other side, tears swirling in his eyes, but he held back and didn't let the tears fall. He hadn't cried since he had been crying for a whole afternoon in Huanshan Village, his eyes were swollen and his voice was hoarse, and it seemed that his tears had dried up since then.

Niu Niuniang held Niuniu's thin little hand with one hand, and pulled Ah Ugly with the other, her eyes were so sad, the kind of helplessness, desolation, longing, attachment and pain were mixed together, and it was heartbreaking to watch.

"Ugly, Niuniu...... I'll leave it to you......"

Niu Niuniang knew that Ah Ugly was still young, and knew that this stubborn child had always refused to beg, and he couldn't even support himself, but she had no one else to entrust, and the beggars in the temple were far away, looking at her dying with indifferent eyes, and she couldn't see a trace of sympathy from those numb eyes.

"Niu Niu Ah ......"

Niuniuniang sighed, her thin hand was weakly placed on the top of Niuniu's head, and after a few gentle rubbing, she passed away, her eyes were not closed, and a tear ran down the corner of her eye, gently sliding to her cheeks.

"Mother! Mother ......"

Niu Niu hugged her mother's body and cried loudly.

Ugly's eyes were red, he was red, gritted his teeth, held back his tears, gently caressed Niu Niuniang's eyes, got up and walked out.

Niu Niu lay on her mother's body and kept crying, and when she cried until she had no strength to cry again, Ugly came back.

Ah Chou is like a puppy that has rolled in the mud, dirty, he walked back to the broken temple weakly, sat next to Niuniu, gasped for a long time, and then pulled up the more than half of the broken bamboo mat, pushed Niuniuniang onto the straw mat, grabbed the straw mat and dragged it out of the broken temple.

In the grass by the river, Ah Chou dug a hole with a stick and planed it by hand.

When a man dies, he will be buried in the earth.

His relatives, his parents, and his sister were all reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and at that time, like Niu Niu, he could only cry in fear and helplessness, and fled from the mountain village after he was a little conscious. Now he at least has liliang to put Niu Niuniang in the ground, instead of becoming an abandoned corpse in the gutter.

Ah Chou used his bloodied hands to bury Niu Niuniang in the dirt pit, and inserted a small wooden board in front of the grave as a tombstone, so that he no longer had the strength to move.

Since then, Ugly and Niuniu have relied on each other for their lives and are like brothers and sisters.

She no longer calls him Ugly, but Brother, and he still calls her Niuniu.

Ah Chou still insists on stealing, and he is still beaten often, so the two of them often starve.

Niuniu has been taken care of by her mother since she was a child, she doesn't know how to beg, and the territory where she can often get things is occupied by other beggars, she can't get much to eat, once, she was bitten by a vicious dog raised by a family, and she couldn't move for a few days, and Ugly couldn't steal anything, she was about to starve to death.

Ugly is like a desperate wolf, squatting beside the dying Niuniu, looking at her faintly, Niuniu doesn't know what Brother is thinking, in fact, she has never understood Brother, she only knows that Brother is good to her, since the death of her mother, Brother has been her only relative in this world.

Ah Chou looked at her so faintly, and after watching it for a long time, he tied his hungry belly with a straw rope and walked out with weak steps.

The beggars in the temple were immediately indignant, they said that Niuniuniang had raised a white-eyed wolf, and Ugly left Niuniu to fend for herself and no longer cared about her, but they were reluctant to take out a piece of begging food. …,

Niuniu didn't believe their words, she didn't believe that the brother who climbed up the high tree to touch the bird's eggs, the one who used the branch to flutter dragonflies for her, the one who caught small fish for her to eat would leave her alone, she believed that the brother would come back, maybe ...... The brother dug a grave for her, just like her mother buried in the first place.

She thought that she would see her mother soon, and her heart was filled with joy and tranquility. Thinking about separating from my brother from now on, I was reluctant and melancholy. She didn't know what the shijie of death was like, but the nostalgia for the instinct of life and the fear of the instinct of death filled her heart with fear.

She waited for a long time, thought for a long time, until she no longer had the strength to think, the humming of the beggars' righteous indignation stopped, and Niuniu saw that Brother Ah had returned, and he walked weakly, but his hands were not worn out, nor were they stained with dirt, and he held the broken crockpot in his hand, and the crockpot contained half a jar of hot porridge.

Ah Ugly took a bite and fed Niu Niu mouth-to-mouth.

Their lives are as cheap as weeds on the ridges, even if many people trample on them, they will still live tenaciously.

Niu Niu came back to life.

This winter, the fire was occupied by other beggars at the nearest place, and the two children were at the farthest point, and the hole in the roof of the temple was above their heads, and the snowflakes were falling on them, and they were covered with straw, and they hugged each other tightly, relying on the temperature of each other's bodies to resist the bitter cold.

Spring is coming, and Brother has changed from a stammering, shy and stupid beggar to a very clever and capable little beggar.

The boy who was stubborn in the past, would rather steal and be beaten has become accustomed to being a beggar, maybe he still hides a bit of stubbornness, a point of pride, and a persistence in his heart, but for Niuniu, he hid all this deep in his heart.

In spring, the rain is like silk, weaving a dense net between heaven and earth.

Ugly and Niuniu ran barefoot in the rain, like a pair of fish in water.

Their shoes have rotted, Niu Niuniang has turned into a piece of loess, and they can no longer weave straw shoes for them.

Ugly and Niuniu ran to a bush of plantain trees, and the fat plantain leaves became their umbrellas, although the rain still flowed down the leaves, it was much more comfortable than pouring it directly on their faces.

Ah Chou took out the bun that he had just begged from his arms, but it was already soaked in the rain, and Ah Chou made a bitter face. The well-behaved Niuniu was busy comforting him: "Brother, it's okay, I ate a lot of mulberries today, my teeth are falling, and if the bun is too hard, I can't bite it." ”

As she spoke, she tried to smile at her brother, revealing a playful little tiger tooth that had just grown.

Ugly rubbed her head, and her head was a mess like a bird's nest.

The two of them held half of the soaked buns, rolled them up with tender banana leaves to make a cup, took the rainwater, took a mouthful of rainwater, and filled their bellies.

The rain is still like a wisp......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the summer, an incident happened that prompted Ugly and Niuniu to leave the ruined temple, so they didn't even have the only place to stay.

On that summer night, the moon was round.

Ugly was awakened by a cry, and when he woke up, he found that the middle-aged beggar nicknamed Little Wolf, who also lived in this broken temple, was pounced on Niuniu, pulling at her already tattered clothes, and kissing her with a stinky mouth.

Niu Niu was still young, and she didn't know what the little wolf was going to do to her, but a girl's instincts made her know that something terrible was going to happen to her, so she burst into tears.

The beggars in the ruined temple were awakened, and they looked at everything that happened in front of them with a warm, strange look, and no one spoke, and when they looked at it, their eyes even became eager to try, and that kind of look was very strange and terrifying. …,

Ugly was awakened, he looked at everything that happened in front of him, and suddenly he became a different person. Perhaps that person had been locked in a cage in his heart all along, tormented and nourished with hatred and shame, and had long since become a ferocious beast, and now the prison door was wide open, and the beast was released.

Ugly's eyes were red, the green tendons on his forehead were tensed one by one, and he roared angrily, and at once he pounced on the little wolf's body, grabbing, scratching, and biting, using his entire body as a weapon.

The little wolf is nicknamed the little wolf, but Ugly has turned into a real wolf at the moment!

His thin body, the strong little wolf only needs to shake his hand, he can throw him against the wall and throw him into a meatloaf, but at this time he doesn't know where to get so much strength, he sticks to the little wolf, desperately not retreating. Attacking frantically, he first bit off half of the wolf's ear, and then tore off a piece of meat from the wolf's shoulder.

The little wolf screamed in pain and punched him one by one, and the blood spurting from the ugly mouth splashed the little wolf's face, but all he could do was sharp teeth. When the little wolf saw Ugly's cruel eyes like a wild wolf at this moment, he suddenly realized that Ugly, who was often in a daze, was probably crazy, and he finally broke down and howled and ran away.

With a bloody face, swollen eyes, and a blurry lump of flesh in her mouth, Ugly crawled back to the crying Niuniu step by step and hugged her tightly.

The hole in the roof of the temple cast a beam of bright moonlight, and the moonlight was shining on the body of Ah Chou, who was covered with blood, and his fierce eyes swept over the faces of all the beggars, like a wounded wolf defending his sovereignty, and said word for word: "Whoever wants to bully her, kill me first!" ”

The beggars rolled over and fell asleep as if nothing had happened, and only the sound of Niu Niu crying was left in the ruined temple. Ugly hugged her, the green moonlight shone on them, and after a long time, Ugly suddenly shed tears silently, this was the first time Niu Niu saw him cry.

Niuniu was very frightened, she thought that Brother Ah was in pain, so she stopped crying, she sensibly leaned up, carefully blew gently on Ah Ugly's swollen eyes, and gently rubbed his bruised cheeks with her thin little hands, she just wanted to stop Ah Ugly's tears, seeing Ah Brother crying, her heart hurt very much, this pain has exceeded her fear.

But Brother's tears flowed more and more, so Niuniu also cried.

Ah Chou hugged her tightly, choked up and said, "Niuniu, I'm so scared, I've really become a beggar!" I'm afraid...... One day, I will be like them, and I will become a walking corpse, Niu Niu, Brother has really become a beggar! ”

Niuniu can't understand Brother's words, Brother often says strange things that she can't understand at all, but she knows that Brother really loves her, since her mother died, Brother is her only relative in this world, it doesn't matter if she understands Brother Brother's words or not, as long as she knows that Brother is good to her, that's enough.

She raised her little face and looked at her brother's teary eyes, his eyes were so sad, that kind of look seemed to be exactly the same as the look in her mother's eyes when she died suddenly, helpless, desolate, sad, and heartbreaking.

Niuniu was afraid of losing him, just like losing her mother, she hugged Ah Chou tightly with tears and said to him, "Brother Whatever he wants, do it." No matter what Brother does, Niuniu is with Brother A, whether she is a beggar or a thief, as long as she is with Brother A, it doesn't matter! ”

Ugly and Niuniu left the ruined temple overnight, they were afraid that the little wolf who had fled in panic would come back, and they could not protect themselves by courage alone, they still worked as beggars, because this was the only way for them to live. But Ugly is already determined to find something to do, he wants to live, to live like a human being.

Because of their departure, a legend that belongs to them begins.

Legends have always been created by miracles.

What is a miracle?

A miracle can be an extraordinary person doing something extraordinary, or it can be a combination of many accidents that form a wonderful coincidence.

The miracle that belongs to Ah Ugly and Niu Niu has both coincidences, extraordinary people, and extraordinary things!
