Chapter 1: A World Without the Sun
"I really never thought I'd go through!" Warne sat on the small bench in front of his house, wearing open crotch pants, raising his head, looking at the sky with a sullen face, "Besides, even if you cross over, who can tell me what the hell I have crossed to?" ”
Warne's eyes were full of confusion, and he swore that if he hadn't been just a two-year-old, he would have almost screamed at the sky. Nima, it's been two years since he crossed over, but he hasn't seen what the sun looks like! He doubted that there was such a thing as a sun in this world.
Hua En looked at the sky with a bitter face, the entire world seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and he had never seen the sky bright until he was born. The black clouds, like the bloody jaws of a giant beast, seemed to swallow the entire village.
In the entire village of Defeier, only the Bright Divine Stone in the center of the village emits a bright light that can make people feel a little calm, and that is where the church of the "Sanctuary of Light" is located.
"Hi Warn, my darling, it's time to eat." A woman's crisp voice came from the room, and then a blonde beauty dressed in coarse cloth walked out, this is Elena, the mother of Warne in this life.
"You little guy, why did you run outside the door again, how many times have I told you, stay at home, don't go out, be careful of being eaten by demons!" Elena gently hugged Huaen, and a gentle and helpless smile appeared on her pretty face.
Hua En nodded, indicating that he knew the truth, but in fact, he thought in his heart: scare me with words to scare children, believe that you have ghosts. Warne struggled a few times, saying that he could actually walk on the ground by himself, but his body was still small, and he was finally helplessly carried into the back room by Elena.
Entering the back room, there was a wooden square table, with a plate of black jam in the middle, and on the table near the high stool inside, there was a small bowl of black bread porridge, which was what Warne had eaten all day today, and as for his mother Elena's food, it was half a piece of black bread on the side of the table.
Elena carefully put Warne on the high stool inside, and said with a slight smile: "Baby, let's eat, eat to grow up quickly." ”
Hua En nodded, picked up the small bowl of bread porridge and poured it directly into his mouth, as soon as the bread porridge entered his mouth, Hua En couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really unpalatable!" Although Hua En had eaten bread porridge many times, he was still far from getting used to this bitter and astringent taste.
However, in this world, waste is simply an unforgivable thing, and Hua En also knows the importance of food, so Hua En is still strong enough to pour the whole bowl of bread porridge into his mouth. It's just that the deep frown on that little face is enough to explain how Hua En feels now.
"Little baby is so good!" Elena looked at the empty bowl, and a happy smile appeared on her pretty face. Elena also knows how unpalatable these foods are, but as an ordinary civilian, it is already very good to have such food. Eating better food is no longer something they can sustain.
In fact, many children of ordinary people starved to death because they couldn't eat bread porridge and couldn't stand the taste of bread porridge.
"The little baby is not a picky eater, and can eat, so he will definitely grow up smoothly!" With this thought, Elena happily ate the black bread, and with her tender white fingers, she gently tore the black bread into small pieces, and then slowly put it into her mouth, savoring it carefully, as if she was eating something delicious in the world. If it weren't for Wayne's real taste of black bread, he would have been drooling as he watched from the sidelines. However, it was precisely because he had tasted the taste of black bread that he knew that the taste of these black breads was several times worse than bread porridge, and it was so hard that it could smash the table.
He used to complain about Elena's injustice, but since he secretly tried the taste of brown bread and almost broke all the newly erupted teeth, he no longer had that kind of thought.
Although they are different worlds, mother's love is still the same.
"It's a very poor family!" Ever since Vain was born, he had been aware of this, but every time he ate, the poverty still made him extremely distressed. He was desperate to change his family's poverty, if only so that he could improve his food a little.
However, Hua En could only think about it, firstly, he was still too young, and secondly, he still didn't know what kind of world this was.
Hua En's little hands propped up on the table, gently supporting his chin, watching Elena eat unpalatable bread, but with a happy face, with a smile on her eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and immediately climbed down the high stool and walked towards the door.
"Little Warn, remember not to go out."
Warne nodded, leaned on the threshold, stretched out his little hand, pulled the small bench outside, and then sat down honestly in the threshold.
A pair of small hands gently supported his chin, and Hua En's eyes were full of blank looks.
"What the hell is this place, I have never seen the whole world without the sun, stars, or moon!"
"And, can this food really be called a meal? It's worse than the dog food my family used to feed the dogs. ”
Hua En sighed softly, he was already two years old, but he still didn't know what he wanted to do in the future and what kind of life path he wanted to take. To put it simply, there is no hope in his life at all.
"I really never thought I'd go through!" Looking at the boundless darkness, Vane muttered to himself in his heart, filled with an indescribable helplessness.
……
"Oh my God, Kate, my little darling, no, you can't ...... that" Just as Vain was drowsy in a daze, there was a sudden heart-rending howl of pain next to him. The sharp voice frightened Vain's small body and almost fell out of the door. In a hurry, he hurriedly propped his little hands on the threshold, so that he did not fall into a fight.
"Who is this, howling so miserably, is this to scare people to death?" Hua En's little face tensed, and he looked angrily in the direction where the voice came from, but saw a woman with long hair scattered, holding a small body, staggering out of the house, and faintly could see that pale face was full of crystal tears.
"Aunt Tom and little Kate, it seems?" A look of surprise appeared on Hua En's little face, and his little hand gently touched his chin, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"Alas, little Kate is finished!" Elena didn't know when she came behind Warne, and suddenly let out a faint sigh.
"Little Kate is finishing?" Hua En's body stiffened, and he may not understand anything else, but he knew very well what this "finished" meant.
Little Kate is going to be finished, which means that little Kate is going to die! But isn't little Kate only two or three years old? Why do you say it's over? Could it be some terminal illness?
"Alas, poor little Kate, he's so young!" A flash of frustration flashed in Warne's heart, and he felt that maybe he should do something. This is a very ignorant world, and although he is not a doctor, he has come from an enlightened and advanced world, and some terminal diseases in this backward world world may be cured by him.
A look of determination flashed across Warne's face, and he climbed the threshold and rolled out the door.
"Hey, little Warne, why are you going?" Elena was standing behind Vain, and when she saw Vain rolling out the door, she grabbed him immediately.
Warne struggled twice, but it was useless to face Elena's huge strength.
"Little Warn, do you want to see little Kate? Yes, the two of you usually play together a lot, so let's go over and have a look, and hope that Master Geely can find a way to save little Kate's life. Elena felt Vain's struggle, but suddenly understood what Vain meant.
Elena gently picked up Vain and walked towards the middle of the village.
The village is called Defil Village, and in the center of the village is a church called the "Church of Light", where the villagers go to the church to pray once a week, and Elena is a devout member of the "Church of Light", and when Warne was very young, he often took Warne to the church to pray.
"Elena, oh, and little Warn, are you also going to church to see little Kate?"
"Well, I hope Master Geely can save little Kate's life."
"I hope so, alas!"
Several people marched towards the church together, and a few more women joined in the middle, and the whole village was full of more than a dozen families, and almost all of them were empty.
It didn't take long for everyone to come to the church, first respectfully saluting the Bright Divine Stone, and then walking to the door of the church.
The Stone of Light is a magical stone that can always emit white light, and although the stone of light in the church is only the size of a fist, it is enough to illuminate the entire village. Of course, its main function is to drive away evil, but for this statement, Vane is skeptical.
After entering the church, I saw Aunt Tom kneeling at the front of the church, praying sincerely to the Sage of Light on it, while little Kate was lying on a long table, and the Pastor Gilly in a white priest's robe was treating him.
"Lord Geely, how is little Kate?"
Pastor Gili sighed slightly, raised his head, revealing a pale and wrinkled face, and said, "Little Kate's physical condition has basically stabilized, but he has now developed a deep aversion to food, and this disgust has even become the instinct of his body......"
"What?" Everyone was taken aback, and the aversion to food had become instinctive, which meant that little Kate's body no longer received any food offerings......
Everyone showed sad looks on their faces, and Elena couldn't help but hug Huaen deeply: "Fortunately, my little Huaen is fine, no, when Bart comes back, I must let him get some delicious food for Huaen!" ”
A few days later, little Kate finally died, and Warne almost watched him starve to death step by step, his delicate little face slowly became dull, and finally he was as thin as a skeleton, and then the light in his eyes gradually disappeared, until he closed his eyes weakly.
In fact, since Hua Enzhi little Kate suffered from that extremely severe anorexia, he knew that little Kate was dead, a disease that is difficult to treat effectively in advanced modern times, and in this backward world, the only thing left may be to wait for death.
A life that is still so young, starving to death like this, always makes people feel a little sad, and Hua En sometimes can't help but want to cry out loud with the helplessness and grief in his heart: "What a fucking world this is!" ”
