Chapter 4 Significance
The slap was slapped the face, and the dirty little face immediately swollen to the old high, endless blame, abuse, beating, and curling up alone in a damp and cold corner, this is the most frequent and familiar memory of the little girl.
In the few years that the little girl had, she had not tasted much warmth. Since the death of her biological father, she has been following her mother to move between various men. Her mother was not bad to her, but her weak mother could not afford to protect her. The only thing the little girl learned from her mother was patience.
Be patient when you don't have enough to eat, endure when you shiver in the cold, endure when you're sick, endure when you're beaten, endure when you're bullied by wild children, and endure when your mother is sold.
The little girl curled up all over, her hands clasped tightly on her chest, obviously she had learned to endure, but why was it still so painful.
"Are you awake?"
In a trance, the little girl felt a pair of hands slap on her face, not with the heavy force she remembered, but with a covetous reassurance.
The boy raised his eyebrows, looking at the little girl who was holding his hand and didn't want to wake up, thoughtfully.
The little girl woke up from her trance and looked around, but it was a strange scene that she had never seen before. This is a room full of temperature, although there is no extra furniture in the room except for a stool and a table, but the beautiful and warm animal skin mattress under the body makes the little girl feel suffocated instantly, which is the warmth that she has never experienced.
"Now that you're awake, it's almost time to let go of my hand."
Only then did the little girl realize that she was clutching someone else's hand tightly.
"Yes, I'm sorry." The little girl quickly let go of the boy's hand, endured the pain in her body, and sat up with difficulty.
"What an accident, as a young woman...... Girl, you seem to be much more miserable than your kind. ”
The girl's words puzzled the girl, and her eyes widened to try to find some clues from his face, but she couldn't.
"I'll prepare you with food and clothes, take a shower and change into clothes, and I'll talk to you after that, you can see what I mean." The boy knocked on the edge of the bed, and there were no waves on his calm face.
"Yes......." The little girl nodded in understanding.
"Thank you for saving me, big brother."
Well? The boy frowned and said, "Do what you have to do first." ”
There was only a large bowl of simple wild vegetable porridge on the table, but the little girl licked every grain of rice in the bowl very seriously. For this starving girl, there really shouldn't be any wasted thoughts.
"It's time to wash."
The tub was in the cubicle of the room, and the hot air came out of the bucket, and the air was filled with the smell of laziness.
Even though it was only a few steps, the little girl kept looking back at the rice bowl that had been licked clean, hoping that some magic would fill the bowl.
"You haven't eaten in a few days?" The young man still asked expressionlessly, unable to see his joy or anger.
"Three...... Three days," the little girl whispered as she grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and she was a little surprised and a little uneasy when she suddenly heard this question, but she still answered truthfully.
"Oh? Well, if it's for the sake of your little life, I suggest you end this meal, so what do you have to do, don't let me repeat it. ”
……
The little girl hadn't washed for long, and although she was greedy for warm water, the man outside was still waiting for her to come out. If you stay in it for too long, I'm afraid you will leave a very bad impression.
Seeing the little girl with wet hair walk out, the boy raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. After washing away the heavy dirt on her face, the girl's face was seven or eight points delicate, which is already rare in the case of severe malnutrition.
This guy may be a beauty in the future, of course, without being disabled, you must know that there are not many beautiful girls who fall on the road to growth.
"If someone buys it, it's going to get a good price." The boy struggled like this.
When the girl saw that the boy was pondering, she did not dare to disturb, so she had to stand aside and feel uneasy, and the remaining two little hands were twisted together, and there was nowhere to put them.
But what the boy said to the girl next was like a bolt from the blue. She didn't have a very good brain, and she never thought that the teenager would say that.
"Do you want to die?"
If the boy is a boy, he will immediately cool down this room full of temperature.
This...... It was so unexpected.
"I ...... I...... I ......"
To be honest, the little girl maintained a lot of good feelings for the boy, this person not only rescued herself, but more importantly, she also ate a long-lost full meal, which is like the kindest fairy her mother said. No...... This is the gods.
Therefore, when suddenly asked like this, the little girl had no idea what she should answer.
Probably realizing that his words were biased, the young man rubbed his head, have his nerves been a little tense recently?
"Okay, let's go the other way, I'm asking you now, do you want to try to live. You don't have a family now, and I saved you, and I don't want to do meaningless and worthless things, so let's talk about your own worth and willingness to pay? ”
The boy's words were not short, but they were easy to understand, and they were nothing more than asking the little girl's wishes. As for the remuneration, the girl will definitely not be able to pay it, but it doesn't matter if she can't pay it, she will earn it back if she sells it, of course this is just a joke.
The girl is always thinking, the man is not in a hurry to bother, and waiting is also a kind of practice.
"I ...... I really wanted to live, very, very much, even though I didn't see what the point of me doing it was. ”
The girl mustered up great courage and finally said what was in her heart, and she wanted to live very much.
"And what about the pay?"
"Is it paid? I'm sorry, I'm penniless now, only my body is clean, if you don't dislike it. As she spoke, the girl's face turned red with shame. If evaluation is needed, it is also a kind of bravery.
"So? I'm not interested in your flatness, but I'm willing to give you a chance, or rather a choice. You can stay with me, but you need to show your worth, I will always be in and out of all kinds of dangerous places, and at the same time, your life will be in danger, if you don't want to......"
"No, I do!"
The girl's answer did not hesitate in the slightest, as if she had caught a ray of light.
Ignoring the girl's answer, the boy continued to say to himself: "If you don't want to, I will sell you, the buyer is a rare good man, he will not treat you badly, you will not be in danger, and I will also get a good reward......"
"No...... Don't, let me follow you, I can do anything, please, don't...... Don't sell me, I can do anything, I don't want to be sold like my mother, I can ...... anything"
The little girl was already crying pear blossoms with rain, and the fear of being sold was deeply haunted in her heart. She didn't think about it, either. She and the boy are just new acquaintances, but they desperately want to stay by his side, maybe it's just life in the hands of others.
So what's the point?
