Chapter 5: Nightmares
Twelve-year-old Yuan Feng squatted next to the garbage can, in the corner tower of the shopping mall not far away, and the grim eyes were staring at him, her, him, and them......
"Uncle and aunt, it's so good that you have pity on me......"
Yuan Feng lay on the ground, crying out to the crowd in pain, hoping that someone would take pity on him and pick him up, perhaps to heal the terrible scars left by the boiling water on his arms.
"Dangchang!"
"Dangchang!"
Whether it's the sound of copper plates, or the sound of falling paper, or the whispered sound of sympathy, people are always in such a hurry that no one stops to take a closer look at the world.
No...... In fact, it was not like that, Yuan Feng knew that there were still people who would squat down to care for him, and there would be people who would squat down and pity him, but many times, the devil of the shadows would come like a storm and take them back to hell in the blink of an eye.
"No...... Don't go back, don't go back......"
Yuan Feng, who is only twelve years old, is not a good child, at least not before, in today's words, he is a bear child, and he has experienced countless pains in the years he has been away from home.
He knows fear, he knows pain, he knows suffering...... I also know the evil and the evil.
Raising his head to meet the vicious eyes, Yuan Feng stretched out his tattered hands and slowly crawled to the edge of the trash can, looking at the glass fragments that he didn't know who broke them, in the disgusted, curious, and pitiful eyes of several pedestrians on the side, he gently scratched the glass fragments to the left side of his face.
"Woo!"
"Ah, what is that little beggar doing!!"
"Hey, kid, what are you doing!!"
His left eye became a little blurry, and in a trance, Yuan Feng seemed to see the demon's anxious appearance, and then he put down the glass shard and quickly swiped his left wrist, just like when Sister Xue'er left.
But Yuan Feng didn't want to leave, he wanted to live...... Alive...... Alive...... Stay alive......
"Little frogs, little crabs...... My sister is gone, you must protect your younger brothers and sisters, you know? ”
'I'm going to live...... Little crabs, little dragonflies, I will find good Samaritans to rescue you. ’
In his hazy vision, Yuan Feng saw the demon, but this time the demon moved away from him, and then rushed towards them quickly.
Yuan Feng knew that he had succeeded, and the long-lost emotion of joy arose in his mind, this is like Uncle Avanti on TV, who has to use wisdom to overcome one problem after another.
Although he was ignorant, after praying for a long time, he understood that many uncles and aunts have good intentions, but they must see your misery before they can be moved, and the more miserable they look, the more kind they will become.
Sure enough, I succeeded......
……………………
"It's been three days since I woke up, and it's been a day since the meteorite swarm collided with the world."
"When you get back there...... Nothing. ”
Zeng Le stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking at Yuan Feng and still smiling: "Still alive...... That's it. ”
Yuan Feng also nodded, recalling that he yelled after waking up, and finally waited for the police uncle to come, when he came to the remote small factory with the police, looking at the huge meteorite and the ruined building, he couldn't stop crying.
But maybe there is really God, who has been searching for many years without news of them, but they met by accident, he walked through so many cities, and even searched for a long time in the area where the incident occurred, but there was no result.
But more than ten years later, when I returned to the city again, I met by accident.
Maybe it's all fate.
"Don't you want to ask us about it?" After the atmosphere became a little silent, Zeng Le suddenly spoke.
Yuan Feng shook his head and smiled: "Seeing you like this now, I am already very satisfied. ”
"But ......" Yuan Feng's voice changed, and he suddenly asked a little seriously, "There is another thing I want to ask you." ”
"Tell me about it?" Zeng Leqi said.
"On that day, the day I left, there was a little girl about six years old in a yellow dress and white pants who disappeared, I wonder if she went there?"
"Yellow clothes and white pants?"
Zeng Le frowned as if he was recalling something, and after a while he nodded, "Yes...... But she didn't seem to be able to stay two hours before she was taken away, like because she caused the demons to be on the inside, do you know him? ”
Yuan Feng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It was a friend who entrusted me to find someone, but unfortunately after so many years, there is no news." ”
"Hey." Zeng Le sighed and said no more.
The two were silent for a while, Yuan Feng looked at the time and asked with some confusion: "It's already half past seven, isn't the little crab coming back yet?" ”
"No, I usually get home at seven o'clock, I didn't pay attention if you didn't say it, I'll call and see." Zeng Le remembered Xiang Yangsheng at this time, and then took out the phone and dialed it, but the other side came with the user turned off the phone.
"Why did it turn off?" Zeng Le muttered dissatisfiedly.
And Yuan Feng said with a smile: "Maybe there is no electricity, it seems that I can't talk to him today." ”
"You're leaving? Sit a little longer, are you afraid that the little crab will misunderstand? Zeng Le cleaned up his mood and said jokingly.
Yuan Feng shook his head and smiled: "That's not it, it's just that this time I went back to the south mainly to work, I skipped work today, I turned off my mobile phone, and it is estimated that my partner is going crazy now." Anyway, I won't leave Nanshang for the time being, I'll come back when I have time, or you can come to see me, and tell me about the baby elephants when the time comes. ”
"Alright then, let's meet again when we have time, there's nothing fun in the mountains. When the time comes, you can also tell me about your experience over the years, as well as your ...... Emotional wounds are all about. ”
Zeng Le's bad eyes made Yuan Feng a little speechless, but he also responded with a smile: "Well, I'll try my best to make up a better story to make you happy." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Feng left the gifts in his backpack and was about to leave, but when he walked to the door, he subconsciously glanced at the desk on the windowsill, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the vase and wildflowers on the desk on the left.
"What's wrong?" Zeng Le followed Yuan Feng's gaze and asked with some doubts.
"I want to see those flower ......"
"Huh?"
Ignoring Zeng Le's surprised expression, Yuan Feng walked over quickly, and then gently placed his right hand on the flowers.
“?????” Zeng Le looked at him strangely, not understanding what the situation was.
But Yuan Feng suddenly turned his head and asked, "Does the little crab often have nightmares?" ”
"How do you know?" Zeng Le asked in surprise, the things about nightmares are actually not just Xiang Yangsheng, she has done a lot before, but I don't know when she gradually stopped having those dreams that made her painful, and she looked down on the past a lot, and her personality slowly became cheerful.
Yuan Feng's sunny and handsome appearance flashed in his mind, and the whim of the day of the reunion, he always thought it was fate, but perhaps...... No.
