Hundred miles of ink outside [1]

From a very young age. I know that there is no absolute fairness in this world, and the only thing that is gratifying is that everyone's day is made up of 24 hours, and time will not change because of your status and achievements.

My name is Bailimo, in fact, I wasn't called that in the first place, but, who cares?!

I am an orphan because I have no parents, but I am not alone, because I have a younger brother, a twin brother born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and the two of us look exactly the same, and when we stand facing each other, it is like looking in a mirror.

For as long as I can remember, we have lived in an orphanage, sleeping together, playing together, eating together, listening to stories, no matter what we do, we are all together, the dean's grandmother said that we have never seen such a close brother as us, in this companionship, we waited for the person who was willing to take both of them home, unfortunately, finally. What we are waiting for is not the kind "father" and "mother" in the fantasy, but a nightmare.

That day, after breakfast as usual, I sat on the steps of the courtyard with my brother's hand and watched the children play, when the door of the orphanage suddenly opened, and several people in black suits came in from outside, led by a serious-looking old man, who was led by the aunt of the dean's grandmother's office, and from my position I could just see the figure swaying behind the upstairs window.

After a while, the dean's grandmother led them to the courtyard, and she clapped her hands vigorously, "Children, come here, there are kind people who have brought you snacks, line up, and come one by one." ”

Children are always greedy, and before the dean's grandmother finished speaking, those children who were having a lot of fun had already gathered together, and I gently took my brother's hand, "Xiao Wu, let's go over too!" ”

He was sick two days ago, and now it's just right, so it's a little wilting, "You go, I won't go." ”

“……！” Looking at the beautiful candy in the hands of the dean's grandmother, I actually really want to go, but I'm my brother. I can't leave my brother alone, so I ......, "Don't, if you don't go, I won't go either." ”

My younger brother glanced at me quietly, his dark eyes were like the sweetest grapes, and he nodded vigorously, "Then let's go together!" ”

"Okay." I laughed.

After receiving the candy, the two of us continued to sit on the steps, peeling and eating one by one, and after a while the aunt came down and said that the dean's grandmother wanted to see us, and we immediately went upstairs holding hands, only to get the news that the serious old man was going to adopt us, although it was different from the young "father" and "mother" who imagined us, but I think we were still very happy, because we finally had a home.

Grandpa Long, that is, the serious old man who adopted us, he said that his name is Long Li, we all call him Grandpa Long, and Grandpa Long has a very big and beautiful car. It's comfortable to sit in, I'm always excited, but my brother is quiet, he's always been like that anyway.

However, on the way back to "home", we had an accident, the car that ran out of nowhere knocked over the car under Grandpa Long, and then a group of people in strange uniforms ran out to fight, and there was a fire around, I was stupid, I could only hold my brother's hand tightly, thinking, even if we die, we will be together.

Later, ......, and later Grandpa Long saved me, but my younger brother was taken away, looking at my younger brother who had passed out of a coma but was carried on his shoulder and ran away in an instant, I cried, cried very sadly, and I had never cried like this since I could remember.

My brother is gone, and I may never find him again, the person I look like in the mirror!!

None of us were three years old that year.

It's just that it didn't take long for me to have to tell myself again and again that it was good that Xiao Wu was gone, otherwise, he would definitely be very painful and painful, because the destination of adoption is not "home". It's a place more terrible than hell.

I was locked up in a dark, airtight and empty room by Long Li, and there were a number of children besides me, all of whom had no names, only numbers, and my number was exactly 100, the last child to arrive.

Every day, people regularly deliver water and food, and I don't know how long it took, at the beginning, there were still many children crying and crying and making noise, and the emotions of fear and despair captured everyone's nerves, but slowly more and more people knew how to control their emotions, and when everyone quieted down and stopped making any noise, the door of the secret room opened, and Long Li appeared in front of him.

"I hate disobedient tools." He said, "From this day onwards you must obey me, or you will die." ”

We are all children of a few years old, and what we die seems to be far away from us, but we are instinctively afraid, but even if we are all obedient, we still have not escaped the fate of death, at least the vast majority of people have not escaped.

Long Li asked people to take us into a very spacious laboratory one by one. I was the last one, as soon as I entered, I was inexplicably forced to press on a cold bed, the tough straps tied my hands and feet, a man in white clothes with a white hat and a white mask held a sharp scalpel, cut my chest raw, I screamed in pain, crying and struggling but to no avail, he cut one by one, it hurt very much, it hurt so much that I was almost dying, but I woke up again and again. Finally, when he sewed my wound like a garment, I had no more strength to move, my throat was bleeding, and my wrists and ankles were covered with scars from the straps of the struggle.

I was sent to a very clean room, where there were ten beds in rows, nine of which were lying children who were as pale and trembling as I was, and whose chests were covered with bloody wounds.

We were gathered together to recuperate, and it was amazing that everyone was healed, and during this time, I got acquainted with a child, who was very cheerful and lively, with big eyes flickering like grapes, and he had a good number - five, his name was Little Five!!

Xiao Wu is happy all day long, there are two small dimples on his fleshy cheeks, he looks very cute when he laughs, but he doesn't look good when he cries, he only cried once in his memory, and the only time it became the last freeze frame in his life.

That day, we were playing in the hall, this is the only place where all children can move freely, playing, Xiao Wu's face suddenly distorted, he covered his chest and squatted down slowly, his face was full of cold sweat, his lips were white, I stared at him in amazement, very worried, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He looked up at me, tears piling up in his beautiful eyes, and crying in his voice, "It hurts, I hurt so much!" ”

"What? Where does it hurt? I was half-kneeling in front of him, overwhelmed with worry. He fell down directly, his body curled up and trembling with spasms, and his forbearance crying had turned into a howl, "It hurts, Xiaobai, I hurt ......, it hurts ......!" ”

"Little Five? Little Five. I half-hugged him, panicked, and could only shout loudly, "Come on, come on, Grandpa Long, save people!" ”

Poof——!

The warm liquid burst and splashed all over my face, and the smell of the fishy smell spread through the air, sickly thick, and there was a scream of terror all around, and all the children stumbled out as if there were demons behind them.

I looked down in a daze, looking at Xiao Wu's gray face, my brain was blank, and I couldn't think about anything at all.

Xiao Wu's black grape-like eyes have lost their brilliance, like a stone that no one wants, dead and silent, a big hole exploded in his chest, a delicate and beautiful giant flower disc bloomed in the wound, the ugly and thick roots sucked its soaked blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, Xiao Wu's entire body seemed to be drained of water, turned into a dry corpse and weathered, and the only thing left was the head that had changed color.

The researchers finally rushed in, and were not at all surprised to see this horrific thing, but silently carried me back to the dormitory, and at the same time asked someone to clean up the scene, and in that situation of completely forgetting that I existed, I only heard one sentence clearly, and they said-

"Recorded, Five, the Devil Flower Transplant Failed!!"

So, I learned the name of that beautiful flower - devil flower; So, I knew the purpose of our existence - test products!

From that day on, every once in a while, a child would fail the experiment, and a brightly colored devil flower would explode on his chest, and then his body would be sucked away as nourishment, and the only thing left was the skull, to prove that they once existed in this world.

The days passed, from the initial panic to the despair later, and finally only resignation was left, how old children experienced the spiritual test that even adults could not necessarily feel, I don't know what I was doing every day, just thinking, I don't want to die, I can't die, I want to find Xiao Wu, I want to play the game of "looking in the mirror" with my brother.

In the end, it was only me and Six who survived, a little girl, very cute, but she didn't like to talk, and her expression was always cold.

On the day of the end of the experiment, Long Li reappeared, he looked at the two of us, his eyes were full of appreciation, "I will train you to be the most successful work, from today onwards, you who can adapt and transform the devil flower will become the master of the world, and I am your master." ”

I survived, but I will never be able to play the game of "looking in the mirror" with my brother again, even if I find him, because .......

My appearance has changed, not only my appearance, but also my memories, in fact, two or three-year-old children don't know how to remember, but at that moment, I remembered a lot, including the appearance of my parents when I was born, and it was a wonderful feeling, as if in an instant, you saw another self and accompanied him to re-experience the memory of the past.

If I want to say that the only good thing that the devil flower has brought me, it is probably that in the process of re-functioning after the memory is straightened out, I meet Xiao Wu again, the younger brother who always likes to play "looking in the mirror" with me.

It's good that you were taken away back then!! - I would love to say this to him in person, but I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future!!
