Chapter 234: Fate

readx;

When I lifted the lid of the trash can, I was greeted by a mixture of various things fermenting,* and then a disgusting and disgusting smell came to my face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ah Xu's face remained unchanged, facing the faint light, and after looking carefully for a long time, he noticed that there was a child in the trash can. The whole person was dirty, and his face was black, which blended perfectly with the background. If it weren't for the pair of eyes that didn't fit in with the surrounding environment, Ah Xu might not have noticed that there was a big living person under his nose.

A gust of cold wind blew into the garbage bin along the lid opened by Ah Xu, and the child was curled up in a ball with his hands and knees, possibly malnourished for a long time, and the whole person shrunk into a ball, which looked not much bigger than a basketball. He shrank himself in.

He looked at Ah Xu, and Ah Xu also looked at him.

His eyes are very cold and deeply vigilant, just like countless stray dogs and cats who have been bullied. In my heart, I built a wall for myself, lived in my own world, had a strange sense of distance from everything, and looked at the world indifferently from a third perspective.

He is worse than those aliens who strayed into this world, those who still have a group of SCPs talk about it every day, and he, like a walking corpse abandoned by the world, lives humbly.

Although his eyes are cold, they are bright, like the moon in the night, and they may be polluted and cloudy and desperate because of reality in the future, but at this time, there is still a small but unquenched flame of longing to survive under his eyes.

Probably attracted by his eyes, Ah Xu suddenly asked him, "What are you doing here?" ”

He didn't answer, and Ah Xuan asked again, "Can't speak?" Or, inaudible? Do not understand? ”

"Warm." The immature voice said indifferently as if he had found a sheltered house when it rained.

A false smile, late autumn night. Temperature is not very friendly for a child who has no clothes to wear. The garbage bin, smelly and dirty, but for a child. As long as it's warm.

It stinks, and it can't kill people.

Dirty. No one can die.

Cold, that's really going to kill people - even if it's just getting sick, for him, it's no different from dying.

"Good night."

Ah Xuan put the lid on him, turned around and walked a few steps, paused again, and then turned around and walked back. Looking up at the starry sky, there are only sporadic starlight dots under the neon lights, and the lonely moon hangs high.

He (Ah Xu) is a homeless man.

He (the child) is also a homeless person.

Ah Xu is not a good person, he has no time to help every beggar, but thinking of the child's eyes like the moon, Ah Xu's distant steps are retracted.

Ah Xu was trying to find his way home, and the child did not give up hope of life and worked hard to survive.

At least this moment. A wonderful feeling called fate prompted Ah Xu to open the lid of the trash can again.

The child was holding a loaf of bread that he had picked up from nowhere, only half a piece. There was already a green mold spot on it, and he was about to put the moldy bread into his mouth with his mouth open.

Ah Xuan looked at it, reached out and grabbed the moldy bread, and the girl was like a puppy protecting food, and turned her mouth and bit Ah Xu's hand fiercely. She may have thought Ah Xuan was here to grab food, so she was merciless and bit it hard. But that thing, normal people don't have an appetite when they look at it. What's more, I don't know if I will get sick after eating it.

But after all, it's just a child, and Ah Xu is not an ordinary person.

Fish children out of the trash can like fishing. Then the other hand snatched the bread from the child's hand. The child let go and fell to the ground. With both hands and feet, he wanted to snatch his dinner back from Ah Xu's hands.

The child was short, thin and small, looked like he was only three or four years old, and was wearing a t-shirt for an adult that he had picked up, and the T-shirt was so big that it could be dragged on the ground. It seems that because he can't find the right pants, he directly puts the T-shirt on his body like a robe, and the excessively long hem is directly wrapped around his waist twice.

Ah Xuan squatted down, stretched out a finger, against the child's forehead, the child bit his lip, his eyes were a little red, and tried to reach out to grab the bread that Ah Xuan was holding in his other hand, but the little arms and legs were still far away.

"You can't eat this thing, your stomach will be sick."

"I'm hungry." The child said that for him, solving his "hunger" first is the first problem, and as for whether he is sick or not, he will talk about it when he is not hungry. Otherwise, everyone will starve to death, and even if they don't get sick, what can they do?

"I'll take you to dinner."

“…… Give it to me first. The child was a little moved, but he still didn't take his eyes off the bread. He thought about it and bargained with Ah Xu.

Ah Xuan laughed again, handed the bread forward, and the child hurriedly grabbed the bread with both hands, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, first tear it down a little, how much can be retrieved.

"You can't eat it, I'll take you to eat it, you throw this away."

"Don't throw it."

The child said that he would not throw anything away, and Ah Xu was finally helpless, saying that he would exchange a delicious meal for his bread before he agreed. But he had to return the bread to him first, but he didn't eat it first, he wrapped his T-shirt around his waist, forming a big bag in front of his stomach, and he carefully put the bread into his clothes.

His feet were pitch black and he was wearing no shoes, so Ah Xuan stretched out his hand to him and said, "I'll hold you." ”

He shook his head: "I'll go." ”

Ah Xuan patted the child's head lightly, stood up, and walked out of the alley. The child glanced at Ah Xu's back, and quickly followed, two red. Fruit. Fruit. 's feet, making a snapping sound on the ground.

Ah Xu took him to a ramen restaurant that he usually liked, and the amount was large and the flavor was positive, and the speed was fast.

The child always kept a distance of 1 meter from Ah Xu, and his wandering eyes were wary of every passerby who approached her.

"What a smell!"

"It stinks!"

"Boss, why did the beggar come in!"

When the child saw Ah Xuan walk into a store, he hesitated and stood at the door. But the smell from the store made her stomach start to howl with attack, and she swallowed and followed.

But as soon as he entered, he heard several rebukes from inside. She shook her body and reflexively covered her head and was about to push it out, but she felt a large warm hand press on the top of her head, causing her to stop.

There were a lot of people in the shop, and the people who were close to the door were already frowning, resting their chopsticks heavily on the bowls, and hurriedly leaving unhappy.

The people inside also kept complaining to the boss, and the boss showed a touch of distress to the child in his eyes, seeing that Ah Xu was with the child, and also cast a deep helplessness on Ah Xu - he was just a small restaurant, and he also had to do business.

"Can you ...... Come back later? The boss leaned over and whispered to Ah Xu, at this time, it was a group of people who had left the night shift, and after a while, everyone was gone, and he was happy to let them give them a bowl of ramen - life is not easy. (To be continued.) )
