Chapter 5 The Most Beautiful People, The Most Beautiful Dreams
Under the blood-red sunset, Lu Fan sat cross-legged on a towering cliff, the cold wind blowing, and he was isolated by an invisible barrier three feet away, and he couldn't enter an inch.
A small figure curled up comfortably in Lu Fan's arms, holding a large number of various things that seemed to be snacks and gobbling them up, talking to Lu Fan vaguely while eating.
"Hmm~Hmm~, uncle, these things are so delicious!"
Looking at the snowfield dyed red by the sunset in the distance, Lu Fan responded to the little man in his arms in an extremely gentle tone.
"Eat more if it's delicious."
"Hmm~Hmm~, thank you, uncle!"
The corners of Lu Fan's mouth hooked up a smile.
"You're welcome, eat slowly, there's a lot more."
"Hmm~Hmm~" In response to Lu Fan, it was the chewing sound that was still gobbling up.
Without the slightest annoyance, the smile on Lu Fan's face became a little thicker.
Although the instrument repaired the little man's body, it was at the cost of consuming a large amount of nutrients in the little man's body, resulting in the villain's already somewhat malnourished body to the state of overdraft.
Luckily, the space takes this situation into account and has a perfect one-stop service.
The snacks that the little people are eating are the nutrients produced in the space, which can be used to supplement the nutrients well, and there will be no situations such as 'deficiency is not replenished'.
Naturally, these snacks can't be free, and they need to be purchased for a certain amount of space points
I have to say that the space is still very close to the heart (money) sometimes.
However, Lu Fan didn't care about this, for him, it was not a matter if he could solve it with space points, especially if it was spent on the villain, he was willing.
The villain's name is Xiaoyu, as for the rest, he was busy helping the villain recover before, Lu Fan didn't have time to ask, and now that he has free time, he plans to ask.
"Xiaoyu, where are your parents?" Although judging from Xiao Yu's previous miserable situation, her parents are likely to be no longer alive, but without asking, Lu Fan always has some depression in his heart.
Xiao Yu, who was gobbling up, swallowed the food in his mouth when he heard this, raised his head, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Yu has no parents, Aunt Li said that Xiao Yu was picked up by Grandpa Zhang from the river." After saying that, he bowed his head and threw himself into the great cause of destroying food.
And Lu Fan was stunned directly after hearing Xiaoyu's answer, but soon he came back to his senses, and the pity on his face was even stronger, but at the same time, there was an indescribable identification.
It turned out that he, like her, was an orphan.
In silence, the sunset turned redder.
Half-ringing, Lu Fan quietly sighed in his heart: "Alas~! With the same identity, I am much happier than her in the last days. ”
At this moment, a trace of resentment in Lu Fan's heart for his past hard work and survival experience quietly dissipated, and it turned out that he was also a person in heaven.
After another half-ring, Lu Fan retracted his flying thoughts, and then asked, "Then, what about Grandpa Zhang?" ”
As if some sad memories were evoked by Lu Fan's question, the little fish that was gobbling up suddenly stopped, his big eyes were quickly dyed red with sadness, and he choked up and said: "Zhang, Grandpa Zhang was killed by the bad guys, woo~~~!" ”
Feeling the slightly trembling body of the villain, Lu Fan was suddenly a little at a loss, and even wanted to slap himself.
"It's okay to ask nonsense! I'm not curious and I'm going to die, isn't it?! ”
In self-blame, Lu Fan planned to quickly say some comforting words, but what he didn't expect was that the little man in his arms was stronger than he imagined.
Although sad, but dare to face it, Xiaoyu choked up and continued: "That, there were a lot of bad people that day, they wanted to arrest Sister Xiaojuan, Sister Xiaojuan kept crying, but no one cared, Sister Xiaojuan's parents didn't care, Uncle Li didn't care, Aunt Li didn't care, and Grandpa Wang didn't care. ”
At this point, Xiao Yu stopped, sniffled, and a look of strength appeared on his face.
"But Sister Xiaojuan is a good person and gives Xiaoyu clothes to wear, so Xiaoyu wants to protect Sister Xiaojuan, so she runs up to fight those bad guys, but Xiaoyu is too small, those bad guys are adults, and Xiaoyu can't beat those bad guys."
The strong look on Xiao Yu's face is still the same, but under the strength, there is a deeper sadness slowly emerging.
Lu Fan listened quietly, with a gentle face, but there was a wave of anger brewing in his eyes as he looked at the sunset in the distance.
"Xiao, Xiaoyu can't beat those bad guys, those bad guys will beat Xiaoyu, Zhang, Grandpa Zhang ran over to protect Xiaoyu, and they were killed by those bad guys, wow——!"
Even if he is strong, Xiaoyu is a child after all, when the sadness in his heart is so big that he can no longer suppress it, in the cry, tears slide down, like a silent accusation against this apocalyptic world that eats people and does not spit out bones.
The words of comfort were already indescribable, because any words of sympathy were a blasphemy against this sadness, and Lu Fan could only hug the little man in his arms tighter.
Half a ring, stopped crying, stopped tears, Xiao Yu choked lightly and continued: "Those bad guys took knives to draw on Xiao Yu, and they also used a burning red iron rod to nail Xiao Yu to the wall, it hurts. ”
At the end of the story, it is understated, and the word 'it hurts' at the end is almost inaudible, as if the pain and suffering inflicted on oneself are so innocuous and not worth mentioning compared with the death of the old man who raised him.
The arm tightened more gently the little man in his arms, and the right hand on the back of the little man was also swaying very gently, looking so calm and gentle, however, Lu Fan's entire body was trembling slightly, and his originally calm expression had become hideous and terrifying, and the anger in his eyes that was far away from the sunset was even more like the anger of wanting to burn the sky and boil the sea.
"Scum!! You wait!! Or will I cut you with a thousand knives!! Lao Tzu is not surnamed Lu !! ”
In his twenty-four years of life, Lu Fan has never been so angry at that moment!
As if in response to this monstrous anger, the golden crystal in Lu Fan's right eye suddenly shone brightly, emitting a golden light that was more dazzling than ever, and a hundred-foot-tall golden hourglass phantom emerged from the void and stood majestically behind Lu Fan.
In an instant, except for Lu Fan's three feet around, everything in the space within a radius of more than ten miles was completely solidified, the fierce cold wind, the floating sunset, and even the sunset projected from the distant sky were all controlled by this magnificent power of time.
The True Qi Galaxy in the body also began to operate at a speed beyond any previous moment, and the dense True Yuan that was almost condensed into substance rolled out like a river wave, and a thousand feet of blood-colored sword shadow instantly rose from the ground with Lu Fan as the center, reaching straight into the sky, and the awe-inspiring blood-colored sword light dyed the sky and snowfield red, and even rendered the blood-like sunset more vivid.
The monstrous power radiated thousands of miles, and even the Aragami who didn't know why he was afraid could clearly feel the anger of what he thought was a terrible existence, and they were instinctively driven to flee into the distance.
And the human beings within a thousand miles, whether they were ordinary people or God Eaters with extraordinary powers, felt a deep tremor coming from the depths of their souls, as if a catastrophe was coming, and they were panicked.
……
As if sensing the violent fluctuations in Lu Fan's heart, Xiao Yu raised his head, looked at Lu Fan, and asked with a little worry: "Uncle?" What happened to you? ”
In the next second, the golden hourglass phantom and blood-colored sword shadow quietly collapsed, silently disappearing between heaven and earth.
The moment he lowered his head, his originally hideous face had turned into a gentle smile, looking at Xiao Yu's red eyes, Lu Fan's eyes were full of pity, he really couldn't imagine how this little girl who looked less than ten years old struggled from that hellish suffering, and how she could still maintain a beautiful and brave heart after experiencing all kinds of hardships.
Looking at the tears that still remained in the corners of the girl's eyes, Lu Fan raised his right hand and gently wiped it away, and said in a gentle voice as always: "It's okay, Uncle just thinks Xiaoyu is so brave." ”
As if he had never received such a compliment, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, his head lowered, and he stammered: "No, no, Xiaoyu is very useless, looks very ugly, and, can't do anything, won't go out to find food, won't build a house, won't ......"
It wasn't so much an explanation, but more like a kind of outpouring, Lu Fan didn't say anything, just listened quietly with a gentle smile.
"Once Xiaoyu also wanted to go out to find food, so he ran out quietly, but Xiaoyu was really useless, the crutch was broken before he could find food, and his hand was worn out, Xiaoyu was very tired and hungry and fell asleep, it was Uncle Li who got Xiaoyu back, and wasted a lot of medicine from Grandpa Wang, and once ......"
"Xiaodan said that he would have nightmares at night when he saw Xiaoyu's face, so Xiaoyu used his clothes to cover his face, but Xiaoyu's clothes were too few, and it was not enough to cover his face, Xiaodan said that Xiaoyu's body was uglier, there was no way, Xiaoyu didn't dare to go to Xiaodan and Xiaodou to play with them, Xiaoyu was afraid that they would have nightmares at night......"
A disabled girl who looks like a demon wants to help but is powerless due to her physical disability, wants to be close to people, adults are busy surviving and will not have time to take care of them, and children of the same age are afraid of the girl's appearance, even if they will not be bullied, they will stay away.
Lu Fan couldn't imagine what kind of sadness and loneliness it was, however, the girl thought more about what others had done for her and how not to cause trouble to others.
While the pity in Lu Fan's heart was even worse, the hatred for those scum in his heart was even stronger.
"You must not die!! You must wait for Lao Tzu to find you!! Because death is so cheap for you!! ”
The whitish right hand that had been held showed the anger that Lu Fan was trying to suppress in his heart, but he still had a gentle smile on his face, quietly staring at the girl who was still talking in his arms.
"Grandpa Wang said that Xiaoyu is sick and is about to die, Grandpa Wang is very powerful, and if he is sick, he will go to Grandpa Wang to see a doctor, but Grandpa Wang said that he can't cure Xiaoyu's disease, and Xiaoyu is really dying, Xiaoyu is not afraid of death, Xiaoyu just wants to be useful and wants to help everyone, because everyone is a good person......"
"Those monsters want to eat Sister Xiaoya, Xiaoyu uses stones to hit those monsters, but it's useless, stones can't kill monsters, but monsters come to eat Xiaoyu, Sister Xiaoya will be safe, if all the monsters come to eat Xiaoyu, then everyone will be safe, anyway, Xiaoyu is about to die, I can help everyone once, Xiaoyu is already very happy......"
Even if he is already the most unfortunate one, even if he is already the most powerless one, he still does not feel self-pity or complain, but thinks more about self-reliance, wants to help others, and even sacrifices himself for others.
If there is really reincarnation, then the girl's previous life must have been an angel!
But if there is reincarnation, then why does a girl have such tribulations in this life?
Is it because the Heavenly Dao is not aware of it, or is the Heavenly Dao itself wrong?
Lu Fan didn't know, he just secretly swore that if the sky didn't notice, he would do the right thing for the sky, and if the sky was wrong, he would cut down the sky to replace him!
At the end of the confession, the voice was already very low with a faint yawn - the girl was sleepy, and the weakness of her body could not be changed overnight, it would take a certain amount of time to recuperate, and the use of instruments also brought a certain burden to the girl's body.
"Xiaoyu wants to build a big, big house, there are many, many delicious food, many, many beautiful clothes, everyone lives in the house, monsters and bad people can't get in, and no one will get sick, Xiaoyu can learn to write with Grandpa Wang with Xiaodan Xiaodou, you can play together......" Curled up in Lu Fan's arms, the girl's eyes had been quietly closed, and the words were like whispers in a dream, almost inaudible, but they elaborated on the most beautiful dream.
"Then, is it okay for the uncle to help Xiaoyu realize such a dream?" Lu Fan asked softly, and his soft gaze fell on the girl's quiet sleeping face, which was not outstanding, as if he was looking at the most beautiful treasure.
However, the girl had already fallen into the most beautiful sleep, and could not answer.
Lu Fan didn't care, because the answer was no longer important.
After quietly staring at the girl's sleeping face for a while, Lu Fan re-turned his gaze to the distant sky, looked at the bloody sunset that was about to sink into the horizon, and said softly to himself:
"Let's call it the City of Angels."
The City of Angels, built for an angel who fell to the mortal world.
