Volume III The Wayfarer in the Darkness Forty-two Not too long ago
Time began to turn around, to the day two or three years ago, when it all began.
It was winter, and it had snowed unusually heavily, on a scale that had silenced the restless city for days.
When it snows, the whole city is barely visible, and the usual hustle and bustle cannot be heard, and people are inexplicably able to live in peace on this snowy day.
There's nothing more comfortable on this day than drinking hot tea and enjoying the snow.
Of course, after the snow stops, everything will continue, and this is just a temporary vacation arranged by God.
The beautiful girl came out and now, dressed in plain white, and stood in the snow like a fairy in the snow, but neither the white nor the snow was as white as her skin.
Mo Qianxue, this is her name, she is like a beauty carved from this piece of crystal snowflakes, so that people who are close to her dare not pant loudly, for fear that she will be swept away from the sky.
She is the daughter of a craftsman, but her parents have passed away, having died in a car accident a few years ago, and she now has only one brother to live with.
She runs a small noodle shop, and everyone loves her noodles, and whoever she is, even a down-and-out beggar will serve them a bowl of hot noodles to warm them.
It's a cold morning, it's always colder when the snow melts than when it snows, everyone shivers when they go out, and many people want to stay at home in such weather, but life makes them have to leave home.
"Ah, it's a cold day." Mo Qianxue, who opened the door in the morning, said.
"Sister, why don't you go today, it's too cold, in case something happens." Mo Yifei was tidying up his clothes, he had a duty mission today and couldn't accompany his sister.
Mo Yifei joined the Armed Police Academy to subsidize the family, and this is also his ideal, now he is an intern team member, and he has to do his job well, it just so happens that on this day he has a job and can't go to the grave.
"It's okay, Mom and Dad must be looking forward to us going to see them, and it's not a long way off." Mo Qianxue said while preparing for Mo Yifei to take away lunch.
"But I'm really not at ease." Mo Yifei still didn't let go, for him Mo Qianxue was his only relative, if she had three long and two short, he would definitely collapse.
"It's okay, just a few steps." Saying that, Mo Qianxue had already given the lunch to Mo Yifei.
In the end, Mo Yifei finally didn't convince his sister, that day was the day their parents died, and Mo Qianxue insisted on giving her parents a grave.
After preparing a few tribute steamed buns, taking a bottle of sake and a plate of fruit, Mo Qianxue walked towards the cemetery with a small basket.
The ground outside has been swept by the snowsweeper, and the snow next to it is stained with black muddy water piled aside, and the pitch-black ground is exposed, which is really a bit of a sight to behold compared to the snow-white ground before.
The cemetery is not very far from home, and it takes about 10 minutes to get there.
The caretaker of the cemetery had not swept the snow, the words on the tombstones were also covered with snow, and the feet creaked on the snow, this is a cemetery, but today there is no one.
In this white flower cemetery, Mo Qianxue didn't see a single person.
Mo Qianxue walked to the tombstone, which was the grave of her parents, and there was a lot of snow on it.
Mo Qianxue slowly took out the tribute from the basket, and then placed it in front of the grave.
The surroundings were quiet, only Mo Qianxue was silently praying for her parents.
After about a few minutes, Mo Qianxue picked up her basket and prepared to go home.
A muffled voice came from the back of the grave, sounding tired, suffocating, and mixed with pain.
"Hey, can I eat those steamed buns."
Mo Qianxue looked at the back of the grave, and a man was sitting at the back of the grave, he had been here for a long time, and the snow had covered his body.
Mo Qianxue didn't find him just now, but now Mo Qianxue found out that there was a person there.
The snow on his body was already thick, but he could still be seen scarred, there were several wounds on his body, red blood and white snow mixed together, but he didn't want to move at all, he could die at any time in such a snowy day.
Mo Qianxue was a little scared at first, but she still calmed herself down, and then replied in a gentle tone: "Yes, my parents should agree." ”
The man quickly stood up, grabbed a steamed bun with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the steamed bun was swallowed whole by him along with the snow in his hand.
He looked so hungry that he took a bite of most of the steamed buns, and swallowed about two bites after only chewing them, so that he swallowed a mouthful of snow to prevent choking.
The man's Adam's apple squirmed up and down, and he quickly ate all the steamed buns, and then sat down in the snow next to the cemetery, but he looked much better than before, and his face was a little more complex.
Mo Qianxue took out a hand towel from her arms and wiped the snow off the man's face, and then wrapped the wound on his hand that was still bleeding.
"You're quite bold, aren't you afraid that I'm a lonely ghost here?" The man said suddenly, he looked to be in his mid-twenties, his hair was a little messy, and he was wearing a thin gown.
"I'm not afraid of this, if there were ghosts, they wouldn't ask me so politely." Mo Qianxue chuckled softly.
"I can't return those steamed buns." The man replied in a deep voice, he was now at the height of his despair.
"Then please come to my place to work and pay back, the noodle restaurant I opened lacks a helper." Mo Qianxue said, she knew that if she let this person stay here, he would definitely die, the temperature here has been low to a certain extent, and it is a miracle that he can survive, and his current body temperature has reached a dangerous value.
"Forget it, it's bad luck to stay with me." The man said.
Mo Qianxue said while supporting the man with her weak body: "It's okay, I'm not a timid person, and you must give me the steamed bun money." "She's such a kind person, and she can't sit idly by with these people.
In this way, Mo Qianxue brought him back to his home, so there was one more guy in Qianxue's noodle restaurant.
This guy has a name, and his name is Yu Xin.
