"Who knows......"

He looked at the sky, then said lightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was still low, but the sun was indeed visible today, and yet the sky was so clear on the ground, and from the spreading vines reflected bursts of light, the luster of turquoise climbing plants.

Such an obvious artificial texture, the hard road, and so stiff in this world. The world seemed to be deserted, and Uncle Makoto and I walked through such cold streets. Such a discordant scene seemed to appear reasonably at this moment, the smoke and dust blew the ground all the time, rolling up bursts of sand, and the cold air made it seem as if it was a little difficult for me to breathe.

"What do we do next?"

I asked as I blocked the sunlight, but the inside of my mouth was so dry.

Although there is some life on both sides of the road, there are still not many pedestrians coming and going.

Probably......

In this world, the only people who can walk in this world so safely are the two of us.

Why?

I don't want to pursue it now......

"It's still early, let's go meet someone."

Uncle Cheng said to himself.

"Who?"

I asked.

"One ......"

Uncle Cheng didn't have much of a tone, just said it slowly.

On both sides of the road, the highlands of mismatched buildings stand around, and the scattered buildings reflect a subtle ray of sunlight.

"Du Feng ......"

"What do you think is righteous?"

Walking on the road, stepping on the street with the soles of your feet on them, the sunlight lingering from the soles of your feet.

The figures of the two people were reflected, forming two discordant shadows on the yellow wall, just one big and one small, walking together.

I thought about it, but I didn't know how to answer this seemingly unsettled sentence.

He didn't continue to persecute.

Just a man walking in front, wearing such a short robe, all he could see was the dazzling sunlight.

The pale yellow clothes are so glaring.

He and I walked under such sunlight, as if it was always endless.

What is Justice?

Honestly......

I never thought there would be anything like this in this world.

But......

If there is no justice.

So what am I doing all I for......

If you just want to survive, you probably don't have to choose such a dangerous path.

"Something that makes you move forward......

The words came out of my throat, and it seemed that I had finally found some direction.

"Unstoppable?"

He whispered.

"Once gone, there is no future...... That's a fitting analogy......"

"But even then move forward......"

I said so.

"Really?" As he spoke, his voice seemed a little lonely.

He didn't continue to speak.

It just led me up to an apartment-like house, with white bricks and brown stone steps, as if it were moving forward in front of me step by step.

"Where are we going?"

He remained silent, just knocking on a door with his hand.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

The sound is so delicate.

"Wow......" was like the sound of a baby crying out from inside the door.

The sun in the sky is still as clear as ever.

The sound of walking seemed to be heard through the window of the fence.

"Who......"

I was amazed by a woman's voice.

Uncle Cheng still didn't speak, but knocked on the door three more times.

The woman seemed to be silent.

Then there was the sound of the wooden door opening, and there seemed to be another sound of footsteps inside.

In my hesitation, I seemed to have heard the man open the door.

"Click......"

After a long wait, the door finally opened.

It was a very young man, with a small frame of his eyes, and there seemed to be an indescribable kindness.

"It's you......"

Uncle Cheng still had such a faint expression, neither showing joy nor any demeanor.

"Don't you recognize?"

Uncle Cheng didn't say anything else, but asked like this in the first sentence.

"Of course I recognize ......"

The man looked at us and said with a smile.

"Come in and sit down."

He took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe closet.

It was placed on the ground.

"Collapsed ......"

It was the sound of slippers falling to the ground.

There seems to be a layer of dust on the edge of the ground for a long time.

Uncle Cheng didn't mind, just slowly put on his slippers and walked in.

I watched his back and followed him without saying a word and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, I seemed to hear the baby's cry again.

And the woman just shook him gently.

Uncle Makoto and I sat on the couch, and he didn't say anything else.

"What are you doing now?" Uncle Cheng looked at the bespectacled man in front of him and seemed very familiar.

The man seemed to smile, but it seemed reluctant, but the smile still hung on his face.

"Making ...... in a cement plant"

"Really?" Uncle Cheng didn't have anything else to say.

"How's it going? That's right...... This one hasn't been introduced yet? Uncle Cheng seemed to see the woman and said.

"Oh...... My wife ...... "He seemed to have a smile and a kind of joy.

"When did you get married......?"

Uncle Cheng asked.

"...... at the beginning of the year"

"Really?" Uncle Cheng looked at the ground and said lightly, as if he felt like he couldn't find a topic......

Uncle Cheng looked at the roof, and the pale yellow robe seemed to be a little out of place in such a warm room.

"Ah, it seems that a lot of things have happened lately...... "Uncle Cheng recounted." For example, the revolutionary army or something......"

However, there was silence......

Whether it was the woman's touch, or the baby's commotion, or the man's simple caressing of his eyes.

As he said......

"I'm sorry...... I don't want to get involved with these things anymore...... Now I just want to live in peace......"

"Really......"

Uncle Cheng said......

It was late at night, and the dim light bulb gave a faint light, and I bowed under Uncle Cheng's head and thanked the man for his dinner hospitality.

Then slowly walk in the dark night.

"What do you want to say......"

Uncle Cheng looked at me.

"Still thinking about something?"

I shook my head...... Just looking at the darkness of the night......

"I don't blame you......"

"Heroes have a deadline ......"

"And justice is such a fragile thing......"

"And it's so simple to dismantle him......"

Maybe the man was still rocking the child to sleep, and the woman might have asked the man something, maybe something more meaningful, but I don't know why......

A sense of desolation crept around me......

The cold gave me shivers......

Why? It's such a happiness......

Looking at the endless starry sky, I seemed to understand something......

Oh, yes...... This is the price of justice......
