The sunlight filtered through the window into the empty house, An Yi opened her eyes, and found herself lying on a haystack, with no wounds on her hands and feet, she supported her upper body, the fire in the house was still burning, and there was a pile of humanoid ashes on the ground.

She touched her swollen head, knowing that she was still alive and that her plan for a resurrection seemed to have failed.

Although she didn't know what happened last night, looking at the ashes on the ground, she believed that the crisis had been resolved.

Leaving the empty house and returning to the entrance of the village, she saw from a distance that there were many people gathered in the courtyard of the family that lost the chickens, the stupid brother squatted on the ground, his parents and the aunt's family quarreled over the issue of chicken compensation, the aunt asked for money for three chickens, but the other party was only willing to pay for one hen.

"Everyone commented that my family's things were stolen, and it was good that I didn't ask for additional compensation, but this family still wants to repay the debt, which is too much. ”

"You didn't see a hen in your house last night, but you asked for three, you're a robber. ”

The stupid brother listened to his mother and aunt arguing, and he just slept on the pile of firewood in the yard for a while last night, and he didn't steal the chicken at all, "I didn't steal, I didn't steal." He repeatedly.

"Shut up. The father next to him was upset and kicked him three meters away.

An Yi squeezed through the crowd and helped the stupid brother up, his face was blue and purple.

"You guys are too much, how can you hit people casually, he didn't steal the chicken. She looked at the aunt's family, but everyone shook their hands and said they didn't do it.

"All the injuries on his body were inflicted by his own family, so don't rely on our heads. Auntie said.

An Yi turned to a couple next to him, they didn't say anything, the expression of nonchalance was tantamount to acquiescence, usually there were a lot of scars on the stupid brother's body, An Yi thought he got it by wandering around the mountains, but he didn't expect it to be caused by domestic violence.

"He said that he didn't steal the chickens, so how can you beat people casually. ”

"Sister, let's educate our own children, what's the matter with you? He's a fool, can you believe what he says?" A woman in her fifties said to An Yi, and when the stupid brother saw her coming over, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and hide behind An Yi.

An Yi saw that he was so afraid of his mother, and expected that he would be beaten by this woman a lot.

At this time, a familiar woman walked up to An Yi, she recognized it as Kai Ming's aunt, who had seen her at the funeral last time, "An Yi, don't worry about other people's family affairs, these people are on fire, and they can't be persuaded to come." ”

An Yi didn't listen to her, turned to everyone and said, "I tell you plainly, he doesn't steal chickens. ”

Auntie smiled, "It's not who he is, the hen in the cage won't disappear out of thin air, right?"

"It's a female corpse ......" For a while, everyone's eyes were staring at this out-of-town woman, and An Yi changed his words and said: "Coyote, it was the coyote who took it away." ”

"Sister, you have no basis for what you say, last night, I caught this fool with my own hands. Aunt clasped her hands and said.

"You saw him take the hen?"

"That's not true, but he ran to my yard at night, not stealing, what else could he do?"

"He's helping everyone to catch coyotes, and I already told you from house to house last night that there are coyotes nearby. ”

The aunt and the other villagers thought about it, and the situation changed suddenly, and the stupid brother's mother jumped out and said, "Now that the matter is clear, there is nothing for us to do." She turned around to leave, not even glancing at the stupid brother.

"Don't go, my chicken is gone, don't think about leaving, if you dare to step out of this courtyard, I will immediately call the police and arrest this fool into the police station. The aunt said, pulling out her phone from her clothes.

"Call the police, call the police, who is afraid of whom. ”

Seeing that the family was really arrogant, the aunt immediately pressed the police number, but a hand reached over and stopped the action of making the call.

An Yi said to her: "Isn't it just two chickens, I'll compensate you." ”

In the end, the three parties reached a settlement, An Yi paid for the two chickens, and the stupid family's family handed over the hens they brought to the aunt, and the matter was finally over.

If you go to the police station, the stupid brother has to bear a toss again, An Yi is very unwilling, the money pays the stupid brother's innocence is gone, but she really can't bear to run away again from the scarred person, he needs to be treated and rested, maybe he is regarded as an outlier by ordinary people, and he needs to be respected by others, but as a human being, sometimes he is forced by the situation and has to abandon noble things.

An Yi left the yard with the stupid brother, and his mother caught up and asked, "Sister, what is the relationship between you and the fool of my family?" If you find a woman to take care of the stupid brother, you will be able to get rid of this big burden.

"What's the matter with you? You're not a good thing. ”

"Hey, how do you talk as a woman, you're too uneducated. The woman was angry all of a sudden, and pointed at An Yi in public and said, "I heard that the man in your family has run away, you can't just drag the man home on the street, although my fool is a bit stupid, but he is a serious person, if you really mean that, put on a correct attitude, talk to me well, if you are just having fun, please go to the hostess." ”

The aunt on the side couldn't stand it, so she dragged the old woman and said, "What are you talking about? My nephew is just missing, not running away." Besides, An Yi is young and beautiful, how can he fall in love with a fool, what do you want him?"

"He's a virgin. The old woman deliberately raised her voice, causing laughter.

In her self-amusing laughter, An Yi and the silly brother walked away silently.

Back at home, An Yi found a bottle of iron medicated oil, her head was knocked twice by a stone in one night, she was glad that she didn't become a fool, and she put medicated oil on the bruised and swollen place, and when she saw the scars on the stupid brother's body, she felt that her own little injury could only be regarded as a small meaning.

God, what kind of life did he live before?

No self-esteem, not treated as a person, when he was born, there may be a moment when he was cared for by his family, but as the days go by, that little bit of love is worn out, and it becomes a burden, and when this kind of day becomes endless, the family despairs, and all dissatisfaction explodes at him.

Maybe in the stupid brother's eyes that are always lowered, parents are like two out-of-control monsters when they are angry.

"I'm going to take you as my wife in my next life. ”

When An Yi was applying medicated oil to the stupid brother's arm, he suddenly burst out.

"Why?"

"I said I wanted to marry you as a wife, and Kaiming said to me that I would wait for the next life. The silly brother replied.

An Yi smiled, "Is that really what he said to you?"

The silly brother nodded seriously.

"Don't listen to him, you'll find a better girl. ”

The silly brother listened and laughed happily.

Since they have met, they can't be treated as if they don't know, and they have to find a way to change his current situation.

If you want to be respected by others, the fastest way is to find a job, with a job and income, you can be self-reliant, and no longer receive charity from others, but who wants to accept an employee with autism?

An Yi thought about it and decided to call the boss, hoping to find a job for the stupid brother in the restaurant. When the boss heard this, he was a little unhappy, and he had to change the boss's name to Mike, so An Yi had to call him by his name. In the end, he didn't say yes, and planned to interview the stupid brother in person.

Early the next morning, An Yi took the stupid brother to board the bus back to the city, the wheels were spinning rapidly on the mountain road, and the small village disappeared from sight. She finally knew why Kaiming hated this place, because there was a deep childhood shadow here, and he and Silly Brother had the same experience, so they could be friends and would not reject Silly Brother like others.

Perhaps the person in the world who can go into the depths of your heart is the person who understands you best.

"An Yi, I miss Kaiming, can I see him again?"

Hearing the stupid brother in the next seat asking, An Yi's eyes sank, no one wanted to know this answer more than her.

Sometimes, even if you sit still, trouble will come to your door automatically, and even if you try to restrain yourself, a restless heart will be disturbed. He opened his eyes and saw the darkness that ordinary people could not touch, a skinless puppy came from the mouth of the cave, sniffed his metal fingers, grabbed it in his hand, the dog barked, put it back on the ground, and ran to the mouth of the cave with its ears pricked up, wagging its tail, and a pair of small eyes kept looking back.

He stood up and followed the puppy out of the cave. There were two red suns hanging in the sky, the earth was shrouded in darkness, all the trees were dead, and there was a man's back on the mountain, without hair, dressed in a black robe, looking at the dark clouds that kept rolling in the sky.

He no longer felt afraid, longed to know the truth, and walked step by step to the top of the hill, standing side by side with the man.

"Who are you?"

The man glanced at him, and his face turned to the sky again, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a human named Kaiming, with a beautiful wife, a good job, who will find time out of his busy schedule to listen to rock and roll beast songs, and occasionally turn a blind eye to old ladies who need to give up their seats, you know people are not saints. ”

"Understood. ”

"I'm a metal alien now, and it's a difficult decision to say goodbye to those days when I didn't know how to live. ”

"Understood. ”

"I left my homeland in order to liberate myself from the hustle and bustle, but even if I searched hard, my heart was still turbulent, and I longed to know the truth, can you tell me?"

"I know everything. ”

"Why did you hand me the gold necklace?"

"There is no one else here. ”

He found it difficult for the man to communicate, "Is it the gold necklace and the black spell that caused all kinds of strange things?"

"As you can see. ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm not who I am. ”

He was a little annoyed, "I know you're not human. ”

"That's true. ”

"Gods?"

"I'm not who I am. ”

He simply closed his mouth and looked into the distance where the man was staring, the dark clouds on the horizon were surging, flowing quickly in front of him, feeling full of momentum, there were two suns in the sky, but they couldn't illuminate the dim earth at all.

"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

"There is nothing to say. ”

"Do you think I'm not qualified to talk to you?"

"As you say. ”

"If I can achieve perfection, can I be like you?"

"Of course. ”

"But I need to find the answers that disturb my heart. ”

"You'll find out. ”

The two suns gradually coincided in the sky, emitting a thousand strong lights, and everything gradually turned white.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in a cave, the tall grass at the entrance of the cave was removed, the warm sun was shining on him, the sky was blue, the mountains were overgrown with green trees, and there was no longer a skinless dog or a man in a black robe.
