Chapter Seventy-Three: Summer

The Faceless Man put on a mask and pushed the cart, walked forward, and disappeared into the darkness without a trace, followed by a man.

"A, if you have time, you must go to see Su Xiao and Nanfeng, they miss you very muchβ€”β€”"

I still told A the address, and Midsummer felt that A would definitely visit, although it may not be now.

"Midsummer, don't call it that name, I'm not."

The faceless man looked back to reveal the ridiculously funny mask, unable to see the emotion in his eyes, and he said in a low voice.

"Are you going home now, then, summer?"

Midsummer followed him, looking left and right.

The Faceless Man ignored it, and walked forward, the dim light hitting him, and the only thing that was waiting for him was the passing lamp.

There was also the wandering old man under the overpass, an old man in his seventies, thin and senile.

β€œhi……”

The faceless man didn't say anything more, and took out the hard bread from the cart, which was a cheap and dry supermarket expiring item.

"Thank you......"

The old man swallowed a sentence and held back a sentence, for a moment the blue eyes were unconsciously moist, his clothes were full of patches, but he still kept the neatness he should have, he was ragged and skinny, but those eyes were sincere and gentle.

"Water."

The faceless man handed over the half-remaining bottle of water in his bag, and he looked at the blue eyes, and sat next to the old man without saying anything but watching.

After the old man drank the water, he wiped and wiped it with the only clean sleeve until it looked really clean before returning it to others.

The faceless man took the water bottle and put it back in the cart, and gave the old man five euros from his bag.

β€œNo.” The old man was reluctant to take it, and the money fell to the ground, but the faceless man had already turned around and set off again.

The old man picked up the five euros, wiped them and wiped them and carefully put them in his arms, holding the worn-out newspaper in his hand and still protecting the five euros on his chest, and he closed the drooping eyelids peacefully.

Maybe it's a night of good dreams.

Midsummer once again followed the faceless man who refused to admit that he was A, she looked at the hunched and emaciated back and asked, "You didn't make much ...... today"

The Faceless Man didn't look back, and it took a long time for him to reply, "At least I'm still young." ”

I don't know how long I walked, but the faceless man stopped.

"Are you going to come to my house and sit down?"

"Yes."

This is a dilapidated old community, surrounded by garbage, so there is a very pungent smell around here, and most of the people who live here are lonely old people, and the faceless people are the youngest here.

The home is a rental house of seven or eight square meters.

There is no furniture in it, and the only thing that is considered an electrical appliance is the socket, which is specially used to charge mobile phones.

The so-called bed is a quilt that covers the floor, cotton gushes out, and there are several patches large and small.

"Brother, you're back!"

The little boy lying on the dress immediately opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps, and he took out a boxed lunch from a cabinet in a daze but still in good spirits.

"This was given by Grandma Su next door, saying that she was grateful for helping her carry the gas so many times before."

The little boy lifted the lid of the lunch box and handed it to the Faceless Man, who was still wearing a school uniform, which was the uniform of a nearby elementary school.

Midsummer could see that the little boy was only six or seven years old, but he was too sensible to speak.

"Okay, you didn't eat either, did you? Look at your little eyes. The faceless man took off his mask to reveal his scarred face, and beckoned his brother to come over and eat with him, and waited for him to finish eating.

"Hurry up and go to bed when you're done...... faceless man urged his brother to go to bed quickly, and the younger brother fell asleep after a while while while lying on the bed.

He ate white rice with his old godmother, and packed the meat to prepare for his younger brother to eat for breakfast.

"How did you get to be like this?"

Midsummer looked at everything in front of her and sighed, she really couldn't bear to watch her friends live like this.

"The little boy just now is called Summer, he is the younger brother of this body, and now he is also my younger brother, and we are the way we are thanks to the uncompetitive father."

The faceless man put down the dishes and chopsticks, the hard-to-swallow white rice could only be diluted by water, he didn't have the slightest resentment, he silently told a story, that seemed to be related to him and didn't seem to be about him at all.

After A's death, he donated the corners of his eyes/membranes, and the boy was Summer, that is, Summer's older brother.

A didn't know what kind of person Summer was, and he didn't have time to understand Summer, so he suddenly came to a strange world.

"Help me take care of my brother...... "Summer on the occasion of his death looked at the ghost that appeared without a trace of fear, those blue eyes had already said a lot of things, he instructed, and he died.

A was inexplicably resurrected, he looked at the devastated face in the mirror, this belonged to him?

"Brother...... I thought something had happened to you...... I'm really scared...... Brother, you have to be the same as your mother...... Leaving Xiao Ji......" The little boy with his schoolbag came into the door of the ward, hugged him who was still confused, and the little boy burst into tears, leaning on his arms and crying.

The little boy's name is Summer, and he is the younger brother of this body, which is why he is here.

Soon, he was discharged from the hospital because he couldn't afford to pay his medical bills.

And the pension was swept away by the gambling "father" when he was in a coma, and the summer left him with only a devastated life and a life without light.

The younger brother with a blue nose and a swollen face came home from school and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Brother, I was beaten by Kakina and them today, because they said that I was a child without parents and that my parents didn't want me anymore?" Is it true? Will my brother also lose Xiao Ji one day? ”

Depression not only brought him, but also brought the little child who was supposed to be full of smiles.

obviously doesn't like children, and obviously doesn't want to admit this so-called younger brother, but he still involuntarily takes him into his arms and pats his brother's shoulder over and over again to comfort him.

He soothed, "How so? My brother will never lose Xiao Ji, and my parents don't want Xiao Ji, my mother just misses my brother and Xiao Ji in another world, and my father knows that what he did is wrong so he is reflecting on himself, and when my father becomes a good father, I will definitely come back to find Xiao Ji and my brother. ”

He is no longer a but a A and a faceless man who needs to run for a living, he has found many jobs, but that burned face keeps all the hired people away.

Can be ...... in summer It's obviously to save people.

The firefighter lived a difficult life in a foreign country, saved many people, and lost his face in a fire, even if the firefighter was not organized at all, but he still put his life aside.

But he was only given a small pension.

There's no way to even be a firefighter, it's not a firefighter in the first place, so it's normal even if you're fired, but it's in a foreign country.

Wearing a mask and becoming a faceless person delivering food, he never talks much, and there are few expressions on his face, even if he has an expression, people will not see it, because he is a faceless person.

A: I'm curious about what kind of person is Summer exactly?

Maybe it's someone who loves his brother very much.

At the moment of death, I was still thinking about my younger brother.

Maybe it's a very kind person.

Even if it was just a temporary worker, even in a foreign country, he did not hesitate to rush to the fire.

Probably a very helpless person.

I saved so many people, but I didn't save myself.

A didn't really know Summer, but it seems that she knew Summer from some things that used to happen......

A firefighter who died in a foreign fire at the age of 19.

"You should go back too, it's getting late, I have to get up early tomorrow." The faceless man looked at the time on his phone, sleepiness welled up in his heart, and began to urge Midsummer to leave.

"Okay, if you have time, you must go and see Su Xiao and Nanfeng, good night." She walked out the door, and she turned to look at the dilapidated residential buildings.

The black sky was intertwined with the gray buildings, as if it was impossible to breathe at all.

And the faceless man was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling in a daze, thinking of a diary in the drawer and couldn't help but open it, which was full of photos of Su Xiao.

It was taken in the summer.

He didn't think that this body actually liked Su Xiao, probably a person who couldn't express feelings like him.

He pushed away the photo in his diary, his finger slicing over the sliding surface of the photo, resting on the beautiful face.

The thoughts that surged like sea water came to his heart, but he knew that A was dead, and his current appearance should not appear in Su Xiao's life.

Open the diary with summer wishes:

1. I want my younger brother Xiao Ji to have the best life.

2. I want to be a very good firefighter and make everyone fall and remember the big hero.

3. I want the proprietress to remember me, I actually really want to be with Su Xiao, but if she remembers it, I will be very happy.

5. I hope my gambler dad can be a good person, I hope he can come back to see me and Xiao Ji, although I hate him very much, but Xiao Ji misses him very much, I hope Xiao Ji can have a complete father's love.

6. I hope to be able to return to China, I want to go back to China to be a firefighter there, but I should have to save a long time to go back, and then arrange a school there for Xiao Ji.

7. I want to buy a computer to learn programming, but it must be very expensive to buy a computer, I think aliens are good, but I can't be so willful, Xiao Ji's tuition is ready.

8. I want world peace

There are many, many more wishes, so I'll write them down when I remember them.

Closing the notebook, A suddenly wanted to meet the boy called Summer, but unfortunately there seemed to be no chance, A looked at Summer's smile and wanted to help Summer fulfill all her wishes.

I heard that it was a warm-hearted, upright, and willful boy who had unfulfilled dreams and aspirations.
