"That's a miracle. My brother and I used to live on free food. And then give people a hand. Do some unskilled jobs with low wages, and save a little money. Because my brother and I were not in good health when we were young, we couldn't do even a little bit of focused work. Nothing to complain about. I thought this was the end of my life. Later, something happened. The man took a slow sip of liquor. Drink beer and liquor. The man's eyes were a little confused as he looked at the cup in his hand. "We've found a meteor."

"Shooting stars?" Wren was puzzled. "Meteors are common. And before the meteor fell to the ground, it was almost burned. ”

"Of course, one is not so easy to find. But it was a meteor shower. Like rain, one by one, it swept through the sky. And the place where the meteor fell was basically near the road home for me and my brother. You know, meteorites are very valuable. We collected a lot of meteorites around us, sold some of them, and finally got a little bit of a family. I used this money to read some books, and I also ate a little better. That meteorite doesn't seem to be an ordinary stone yet, and with that meteorite by your side, you will feel refreshed. Even if you have an injury on your body, as long as you carry that meteorite, the speed of recovery from the injury is simply terrifying. It's a bit similar to the kind of jade that can raise people in ancient China. So it's quite expensive. ”

The more the man talked, the more outrageous it became, making Wu Yue start to feel a bit like bragging. But Wren didn't mind.

"This stone is so good, is there any more, brother? Sell me a little too? Wren asked with a smile.

"It's gone. Most of them are gone. There is still a little bit left to be a life-saving root. Not sold. The man said very directly. Those meteorites are very strange, and they have always been viewed as jade. Then one day, those meteorites actually floated slowly again. Fly towards the sky. Fly until you can't see it. Some of them were packed in boxes and couldn't fly, and they were broken. Crumble into powder, finer than sand. As soon as I opened the box, it was blown into the air by the wind and disappeared. My brother and I were very distressed when we saw the stones shattering one after another, and we thought about keeping them and selling them when we ran out of money. As a result, this inexplicably shattered, what to do. ”

"And then?" Wren immediately asked.

"Eat." The man said simply and understandably. "For us who were left with a room and a bed at that time, it was a dependence and guarantee for survival. If it's all shattered, we'll be going to live like we used to live with nothing. We'll eat. Bite desperately like crazy. It was all stones, and they were several times harder than ordinary stones. We can't bite our teeth when we crush them, so we swallow them. Knock those stones into small pieces and swallow them one by one. ”

Wu Yue felt a little numb on her scalp when she heard it.

"Eating stones, even in ancient China, ate soil and tree bark at most. And that thing doesn't digest. You're going to die of stomach pain after that. In ancient China, there were not a few people who died of stomach pain because they couldn't digest the soil. ”

"Nope." The man shook his head in surprise. "Didn't I just say that? Those stones will crush into powder on their own. We swallowed all the remaining rocks, and most of them turned into powder in our stomachs. There is no feeling of holding either. And the remaining small part, no longer flying, no longer turned into powder. Just lying in the stomach. Then it felt like it was okay, so we threw them all out. Fortunately, the stones that were spit out finally stopped shattering and flying around. We'll wash them and store them again. ”

"Wow, brother, you're not easy. Here, have another drink. Wren poured another glass for the man.

"Nor will it. but a blessing in disguise. The man said. The powder made from those meteorites is digested and absorbed by the stomach. Later, I found out that I don't know why, but the weakness that had been like a disease was cured. My brother and I became normal people. ”

"That meteorite is still a cure?" Wren's brow suddenly furrowed slightly.

"I don't know if it's related to eating that meteorite. My brother and I are not breathing like suffocation when we do some heavy work. My physical condition improved, and I read some books again. We also want to be like ordinary people, find a normal job, and make our lives better. But it can't be helped. ”

"The buyer of the meteorite came to the door?" Wren asked cautiously.

"yes. Stones shatter and fly, and they think it's our doing. You're going to arrest us and ask for an explanation. Because my brother and I are twins. You know, how conspicuous the twins are. My brother and I depend on each other again, and we have to be together wherever we go. Wherever we go, people notice us at a glance. My brother and I had to go our separate ways to avoid those enemies. Afraid of being caught, but afraid to contact the other party. It's best to make an appointment to meet again. When we meet again, it will be ten years later. All grown up. ”

"That's right." Wren was also a little embarrassed.

"Now that I think about it, that day when there was nothing was not a bad thing. I'm with my brother and I can divide everything equally. We can cut a grain of rice in half. Isn't the most important thing in a person's life the people around him? The most important people are around, and the rest don't ask for anything. It's a pity that they were separated for ten years. I don't want to remember what happened in the past ten years. When we meet again, he is still familiar with me, still calls me brother, and still listens to me, but he no longer agrees with my words as much as he did when he was a child. But it's all gone, and no one can go back in nostalgia. My brother and I ended up living together. ”

"After all, when I grow up, I have my own ideas."

"But it's nothing. I was really relieved that he could grow up on his own. And the vows we made when we were children can remember each other. We were both satisfied. ”

"Oath?" Wren asked.

"Children like us, in the same place before, too. There are also other places. They depend on each other for their lives, and they are not treated well. After my brother and I realized that we were better and could do things that normal people could do, we made an agreement before we separated. Don't waste your time. Ten years later, see you again. At that time, we raised those children who were just like us. So that they can also be like normal people. ”

"Oh" For the man's words, Wren was speechless for a while. I can only pour another glass for the man's admiration. "Come on, man. I'm speechless, I'll pour you another glass. Then you seem to be living a good life now, you should have done this. ”

"I did. I worked very hard to do it. We gave a speech so that people should not discriminate against those children. Start a school, teach the children the craft, teach them to learn, let them learn the skills to live. Start small hotels so that children who don't have nowhere to go have a place to sleep. The man said this, and drank the whole glass of liquor in one gulp. But it failed. When we speak, the bastards throw stones at us and call us nosy. Those normal children laugh at our children for being frogs, and even if you wear clothes and walk like a human being, you are an ugly and incompetent frog and will not turn into a handsome prince. There were also people who smashed the glass of our hotel. I cook for the children, and the vendors don't even want to sell me the vegetables that have been bitten by bugs. To say that I cook for the kids is simply wasting food. Food should be given to those who need it more. Even law enforcement officers came and knocked on my door. Say that we use child labor without permission. Fines for us. It was the clothes that the children sewed and wore themselves, and they didn't say we used child labor. Either you will be fined or you will be detained. When we left, there was no one to take care of the children. No, we don't know how to be excluded from those children. We didn't dare to say anything. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yue felt the fire in her heart rise one after another.

Wren also frowned and looked at the cup in his hand. The paper cups were pinched and deformed. "What happened to you, brother?"

"Not very well. The kids are well-behaved, and they know that if we fight back, those bastards will have an excuse to attack us. They endured it, and we endured it. I moved the location to the middle of nowhere, picking up some vegetables that others threw away and didn't want to cook for the children. Anyway, when my brother and I were young, we used to pick up those leaves a lot of times to eat. We know how to clean the leaves that are stained with dirt and dirt, and we know how to make them taste better. When someone comes to blackmail us, the children themselves go into hiding and put away their belongings. Those people could not find evidence and had to go back. It's okay to endure it. The man said this, smiling wryly.

"That's not what you're talking about, is it?" Wren asked suspiciously.

"It's not. It's another country. This country is truly a land of paradise. The man shook his head. There are 56 ethnic groups, but there is no racial discrimination. Even respect each other. And there is an endless supply of food. After I came here, I was really, really touched by this paradise. There is no food to eat, and it is said that a single person once cultivated a variety of high-yield rice. There is also rice that can be irrigated with seawater. I'd love to meet this god-like man if I could. We lived by the sea, and we wanted to grow something to eat, but we couldn't survive. The land was flooded with seawater, and no crops could be grown. I really don't know how that man did it. The arable land we have available there is occupied by the rich people. If we had known his skills at the time, we would have been able to grow rice ourselves in the vast saline clearing around us. This way the child will be able to eat rice. At that time, we could only eat waste vegetables and rotten fruits, and the children couldn't eat rice and noodles, which was a bit stupid. I really envy the children of this country, as smart and handsome and beautiful as angels. ”

"How's the kids?"

"Grown up. Let them go. If I don't want to go, I will blow it away. I don't take in kids anymore. That treats the symptoms but not the root cause. We can take in children while we are alive, but when we die, what will happen to those children who are not taken in? My brother and I started traveling. I wonder if I can find a solution to this problem. We went to a lot of places and saw a lot of things. It turned out that we were not alone there. There are such poor children everywhere. We see one, we help one. But I can't help it all. Watching those children suffer. Humility seems to have grown into their bones. We want to help them, unless we spend an unknown number of years like the children of the previous generation to let them know that they are human beings and not lowly animals. But then we have to stay, and there are many more children who need our help that we don't see. ”

"Is there a way to find it?"

"Found it. But I don't know if it will work. The man looked up and said with some yearning. If this method is successful, every child can be saved. It's just that this method is more difficult. So you have to take your time. ”

"That's right. Then I can only wish you success soon, brother. ”

To Wu Yue's surprise, Wren suddenly said this conclusion. Wu Yue thought that Wren would choose to help. Or give some relief. "That brother, if you don't mind, you can take this bottle and drink it."

Wren put Wu Yue's bottle of wine in front of the man, and Wren's own bottle was only a little bit of the foundation he drank, and it was not good to give it to others.

"Okay. Thank you, brother. The man accepted it unceremoniously.

"Then it's time for us to go. After eating for so long, the people in our family are also worried. Wren said with a smile and stood up. Looking at Wu Yue. "By the way, Wu Yue, do you have anything to say to my brother?"

"Huh? Me? Wu Yue pointed at herself and said strangely.

"After all, I've heard so many things about other people, so I should express my thoughts no matter what I say." Wren laughed.

"Ah me," Wu Yue thought for a moment. "I admire your ideas and practices, sir. It's hard to be honest that you can do this for someone else. I don't know what you're going to do, but I wish you all the best for your plans. It may seem strange to say this in this atheistic world, but I believe that people like you will be blessed by God. ”

"Thank you. I also believe that God will bless me. The man smiled and nodded.

"Then let's go." Wren patted Wu Yue's head. "Let's go. If you don't go back, your family will probably be really worried. ”

"Hmm." Wu Yue nodded.

"Bye-bye." The man waved his hand at the two of them.

When Wu Yue and Ren walked to the door, Ren turned to the man and smiled again. "The next time I go to you, can I not be heavy-handed? I still want to wait to hug my brother's child. ”

Well? What do you mean?

"It's hard to say. After all, I also want to hug my children who I would give my life to change them. "The man's seat is facing away from the door. The man drank and didn't look back.

"Okay. Everyone has their own reasons. Wren turned again, raised his hands with his back to his life, and shouted. We'll see each other again in those three days. Life. ”

Well

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. There is nothing bad about it. I thought I would be surprised, but I guess I noticed it beforehand. There is no sense of shock now.

Hearing this name, Wu Yue finally understood why the man didn't know him, but he always had a familiar feeling. It's the same as the last time he appeared in front of Wu Yue with the help of Xiao Ming's body. Although the appearance is different, the eyes are exactly the same. Eyes are the foundation that determines a person, because eyes, this ordinary man, coincide with the handsome life. Because the man didn't look at Wu Yue much, Wu Yue didn't think about it for a while. I can only vaguely feel that feeling.
