Brother Ludan's prosthetic limbs were really powerful, and when they were full of energy, the steel in the lower layer of the corruption pool was smashed open in a few clicks.

Sure enough, there, a piece of paper, which looked very rough in workmanship, floated on top of the hot molten iron that had not yet cooled, without the slightest impact.

So long story short, let's get straight to the point.

Candle

Once upon a time, there was a girl in town.

She was ugly, she had no money, her parents left her early, and for many years, she lived alone and miserable.

Because of her looks, she has no friends, and of course no one likes her, so her life is extremely lonely, and she dreams of having someone to accompany her.

Perhaps God heard her prayers

...... Maybe.

Anyway, on a winter night, a drunk man broke into her door.

This is the first person in many years to take the initiative to visit the girl...... Still a man. So, the girl decides that she must find a way to keep this drunk!

......

......

Early the next morning, the drunk found himself lying on a strange bed with a strange woman lying beside him.

The drunk man was frightened and panicked.

In the ensuing questioning, the drunk learns what he did after drinking last night, and just when he doesn't know what to do, the girl actually asks to have a relationship with the drunk!

Although the girl is not good-looking, she is also a woman, so after thinking about it, the drunk agreed.

Of course, he doesn't love girls, he still lives a life of drinking and having fun every day, only when he is drunk, he will occasionally go back to the girl's residence to sleep, and the next day when he wakes up he will go out again, in addition, he also gambles, and he owes a lot of debt for it. Immediately after, he began to ask the girl for money and forced the girl to pay off her debts.

What this man has done, this is simply an out-and-out scum!!

Of course the girl knew, but she still couldn't leave the drunkard, because this was her only lover, the only one who was still with her. If I didn't have him, I would have been back to that loneliness...... She didn't want to be alone anymore, and for a woman who had lost her parents since she was a child and had never received "love", loneliness was really more unbearable than any disaster.

In fact, the girl knows better that this man doesn't love her, he just wants to find someone who can give him money, a puppet who can pay off gambling debts, and it doesn't matter who this person is.

In this way, a girl and a drunk should be the same person. Because the girl doesn't love drunks either, she just wants to find someone to fill her loneliness, and it doesn't matter who this person is.

Therefore, under such a deformed relationship, no matter what the drunk does to the girl, she can accept it.

......

In order to pay off the debts owed by the drunken man's gambling, the girl began to make money desperately, and she made money by selling candles.

She braved the freezing cold every day to sell on street corners.

But he couldn't sell a single one.

The girl was scared, if she continued like this, she would definitely be abandoned.

But no matter how hard she tried, one day, all her savings were exhausted.

"I don't have any more money!" The girl said with her head down.

When the drunk man heard this, he was very angry.

"You're a piece of rubbish!!" He yelled at the girl and pushed her down, "You useless, ugly woman! Get out of the way, I think you're going to throw up!! ”

The drunk scolded her mercilessly, and then walked out of her house.

The girl cried, although she knew that there would be such a day after all, but when the moment really came, she still couldn't accept it.

Immediately after that, the girl followed the drunk...... I also want to find an opportunity to keep the other party.

But then, she was surprised to find that the drunk man already had a lover. And, the attitude towards that woman is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than oneself.

At this time, the girl finally realized that the drunk had not actually accompanied her at all...... Never.

His heart ...... In fact, there is already a place to go.

Girls are envious, jealous, why can everyone have company, except for themselves.

Enraged, she pulled out the candle she had in her pocket that wasn't sold.

Ignited the house of the woman and the drunkard.

Look at the burning flames and listen to the miserable screams...... The girl seemed to have a little comfort in her heart. She even saw herself in the flames of another woman, with a beautiful appearance, and countless handsome and wealthy men surrounded her......

What a happy scene it is.

......

......

After this day, the guards in the town naturally began to vigorously arrest the frenzied arsonist.

Finally one day, the girl was caught.

In the cell, the girl was interrogated. And she confessed it all.

She told her what had happened to her, what the drunkard had done to her, and why she had set the fire.

But...... To the sheriff's bewilderment, what the girl said...... It's a drunk, but there's no drunkard at all. The first person he burned to death was a strange couple whom she had never seen before. And in the town, there has never been a drunkard as she spoke.

......

Suspicious, the sheriff went to the girl's house, where he was surprised to find a statue of a man made of candles.

......

It turned out that all this was a vision that the girl had imagined in her own head.

There were no drunks at all, and no one had ever entered her house that night...... Never.

The girl's loneliness makes her unable to recognize reality, and he sculpts a man out of wax figures, and every day he conforms to his fantasies and speaks to a virtual character.

And her arson was just an excuse for what she had done after her own brain went crazy.

......

When the girl heard this, she didn't believe what the sheriff said, because she could still remember the drunken man clearly, and she clearly remembered every word she said to him.

Of course, the guards didn't bother to explain anything, and just put the madwoman in a cell.

The girl was in the cell thinking, is all this true?

Soon, she figured it out......

In fact, it doesn't matter what is true at all, what matters is whether you identify with it or not.

Thinking of this, the girl recalled the incomparably beautiful picture she saw in the fire......

"Really, or fakely, or seriously?"

The girl muttered, smiled, and pulled out the last candle in her pocket...... set themselves on fire.

In this flame, I will never be lonely again!!!

......

......

I don't know how many years have passed, but it is said that the girl has been burning,

Everywhere she passed, it was burned to ashes.

And herself, looking at the firelight around her...... Laughing happily.

Finish.
