Chapter 31: Angel
The slums have always been so filthy and chaotic, and today, there seems to be a strange smell wafting through the air, different from the smell of rotten garbage, a little more bitter, people don't feel strange at all, maybe there are dead people somewhere, right? The corpses stink, whatever, someone will clean them up in a few days.
It comes from a dilapidated small slab shed, I have to say that the ventilation here is excellent, and there is constantly wind seeping in from the leaky hole, "Ahhhh In front of him was a small stove, on which was squatting a small casserole, the pale green potion tumbling and emitting a pungent smell.
In a small low house next to the small shack, there were no windows, and the boy lit a candle to illuminate the small space.
"Now, brother, I came back so early today." A weak girl's voice rang out, "Don't you need to work today?" ”
"yes, it's raining today." I don't know why the boy lied, he slowly walked to the only bed in the room with the candlestick and sat down, the girl was lying on it, the same long silver-white hair, only a little paler than the one that had not been with the boy, as white as snow, his face was as pale as his hair, and he could not see the slightest blood, and he looked weak, and the girl kept her eyes closed.
The boy felt his heart bleeding and clenched the girl's hands tightly.
"Really? It's raining...... "The girl murmured," murmured, "but I couldn't hear the rain." ”
"By the way, Angel, how are you feeling today?" The boy knew that something was wrong with what he said, and hurriedly changed the subject, not daring to look directly into her closed eyes.
Suddenly feeling the itch of her palms, Angel smiled mischievously, "Thanks to my brother, I feel much better." It's just ......"
"Just what?" The boy asked eagerly, "Is there anything wrong with your body?" The strength of the hand holding Angel unconsciously increased.
"Oh, brother......" Angel said coquettishly, and the boy realized his faux pas and hurriedly let go of his hand, "Can you say it now?" ”
An Qi shook her hand lightly, revealing a very helpless expression, "Without my brother to accompany me, people feel so bored." ”
The boy paused, "I'm sorry, Angel, it's all my brother's fault." There was a deep remorse in his tone, and in this ordinary conversation, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
"You can't say that, it's Anqi who has affected my brother, if it weren't for Anqi, I believe my brother can ...... Woo, brother, what are you doing? As soon as Angel was halfway through speaking, the boy covered his mouth again, "You can't say that, it's my brother's responsibility to take care of my sister, and Angel didn't drag my brother down." It was my brother's fault that he didn't take good care of Angel. ”
"Hmph, my brother says that every time, at least let the family ......"
At the door, Chester quietly watched the brother and sister bickering there, with a rare smile on his face, "You feel good." At some point, he stood behind him, leaning against the door frame, his hands in his sleeves.
"If only everyone in the world could do that." Chester sighed suddenly, as if remembering some sad past.
"If everyone was the same, wouldn't that really be good......"
"Huh? Do you have guests at home? My brother is so careless, let's go and entertain the guests first. The girl said suddenly, she seemed to hear someone talking just now, in this poor place, people almost don't come and go, today the unprecedented home actually has a guest, this stupid brother doesn't go to entertain people, what the hell does he think?!
What guests? The boy looked towards the doorway, and Chester was still standing there, and suddenly a mysterious color flashed in the boy's eyes, as if he was afraid, and as if surprised.
"yes, yes, little Angel is so smart." He didn't say suddenly, he didn't care about the boy's eyes that he was going to kill, and slowly walked towards this side, because the room was so low, he had to bend down slightly, "We are your brother's friends, follow your brother to see little Angel today." ”
"Thank you for your concern, my brother must be working very hard outside, and he must have received a lot of care from you." Angel smiled, and deliberately said with disgust, "Brother, there are guests at home today, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Come with me." The boy deliberately lowered his voice and said to him, "Angel, I'll just say a few words at the door and come back immediately." With that, he pulled him out and walked out, smiled helplessly, and followed him out.
"What the hell are you going to do? Haven't we already leveled it out? Why do you keep following me? The boy asked a series of questions, his face full of suspicion and hostility, and he blocked the door of the house.
"Well, where is the leveling, it seems that we helped you get out of the group of people, right?" The scoundrel who didn't have a face, and it seemed that the boy just wanted to go up and give him two punches.
"But didn't I help you get rid of those guards?" The boy said anxiously, but his eyes were a little wandering, as if he didn't dare to look directly, and his tone of voice was a little weaker.
"Seems to make sense...... "I didn't look like I'm thinking harder, "Oh, yes, I see that I seem to be missing something......"
The boy's face changed drastically, but he still tried to escape, and said calmly, "That's your business, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"It seems to be ......," he said before he pondered, and suddenly, he grabbed one of the boy's hands and pulled him over, tripped the boy on one side of his body, and clasped the boy's two hands with his backhand, "What are you going to do?" The boy shouted angrily.
"It's already this time, do you still want to bury it?" Before he could speak, he put his other hand in front of him, holding a pocket watch in his hand, "But I'm still curious, how did you manage to take it in my arms?" ”
"I don't care about you." The boy tried to break free, but his helpless hands were clasped firmly in his hands like iron pincers, and he could not move.
"Brother, brother......" Suddenly there was Anqi's cry in the room, and the boy was very anxious, and before he could speak, he had already let go of him, and the boy cast him a grateful look.
"Angel, what's wrong?" The boy asked softly.
"Now, brother, there must be something bad about that person coming to you." Angel turned his face, my brother seems to have made a great sacrifice for me, but why can't I do anything.
"How so? Your brother is a very good friend of mine. He walked in again, walked straight to Anqi's bedside, and took Anqi's hand in the boy's surprised gaze, "Today, your brother originally asked me to treat you." ”
"Really...... Are you sure? Angel asked eagerly. Without glancing at the boy, the boy immediately panicked and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Angel had been frowning and suddenly let go, "That'...... That brother, you keep letting people stand outside the door, it's really rude. Angel grumbled, playfully sticking out her tongue.
"Hehe, Angel, you can sleep for a while! My brother went out for a trip. The boy covered the quilt for Angel, gave him a look, and the two of them walked out, and the boy closed the door casually.
"Uh... That, how can I say it, thank you anyway. The boy had his back to him, and he couldn't see his expression, and Chester stepped out of the small shack next to him, "My lord, it's cool." ”
Nodding his head with dissatisfaction, "Hey boy, can you tell me about your sister?" ”
"Well, since about three years ago, Anqi's physical condition, which has always been healthy, has suddenly deteriorated a lot, and at first I just ......" "Wait, you just said that it has deteriorated a lot?" Was she not in good health? "I didn't ask about it.
"Yes, at first I just thought she was just malnourished and a little weak, but then I found out that it was not so simple, Angel began to like to sleep, rarely went out every day, and then almost lost her mobility, and her eyes also ......" "Okay, I probably know what's going on." He hadn't interrupted the boy, and when he had just held Angel's hand, he noticed that Angel's pulse was a little unusual, and now that he listened to the boy's words, he was more sure that it should be that.
"What? Do you know what's going on with Angel? The boy couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm not sure, but ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed, the boy had a bad premonition in his heart, and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, "But what do you say quickly!" "He was very emotional.
Chester just wanted to come up and pull him away, but he didn't give him a color, "But this disease is difficult to cure, and besides, Angel is not your own sister." ”
"Yes," the boy suddenly looked like a deflated ball, "Angel and I are orphans, and I picked her up when she was four years old. ”
"Forget it, let's observe the condition again, let your sister drink this first." He didn't take out a bowl of green potion from the small slab shed, "This is a condition for the body, it is common to everyone, drinking this should help somewhat." ”
"So, will Angel die?" The boy asked suddenly.
"The real horror of this disease is not the mortality rate, but the endless suffering, like a chronic and poisonous, which makes people feel pain all the time, although it is inappropriate, but for this kind of patient, death is the best relief."
"Death?" The boy muttered and approached the room.
Master, I met him again, can I save others like you? He didn't raise his head to look at the gray sky, and thought to himself.
