Chapter 1 To Live

Many years ago, there was a terrible food shortage in this world, and a group of poor people could not eat enough in an instant. This food shortage is also the main cause of world turmoil, hunger has become the most headache for all human beings, and at the same time, it has also made human beings who thought they had no worries about food and clothing reaped a painful lesson.

Avoiding these cumbersome historical questions, let's talk about the world today: there is a place that was once called Saudi Arabia, a name that has long been forgotten by the world. In fact, centuries ago, Saudi Arabia was one of the richest countries in the world.

However, the extremes of things must be opposed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline, this is the iron rule of nature, and it is difficult for human beings to escape from this law, the desert oasis that was once rich has now fallen into a wasteland where poverty breeds and multiplies, and the outbreak of food shortages has brought this place closer to hell.

In a two-storey villa that has long been eroded by time, the frantic wind is pressing on the ceiling, and a trace of ivory-white walls can be vaguely seen, and a trace of light fine sand is involved.

In this dilapidated room, there were three people, two men who were five big and three thick, plus a delicate girl.

"What's your name?" The fat man, who was slightly fat, rubbed his hands together, and his greasy gaze stared at the girl sitting next to him.

"Ingrid Lilith." The girl stared at the floor and replied without any superfluity, her face expressionless, and there was no trace of emotion on her indifferent face.

"I remember the first name, the last name is Ingrid, okay, let's talk about business, how do we settle the bill?" Another taller man who was a little sturdy also stared at the little girl, and his eyes seemed to glow with a strange brilliance: "You are considered to have a good appearance, and the price will naturally be higher." ”

"Checkout?" A hint of confusion suddenly rose on the girl's cold face, and she raised her eyes, which were extremely tired: "How to settle the bill?" ”

"How do I settle the bill?" When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Either give you some food, or I'll give you a wad of money, but I recommend you take some food back, why do you ask so if the money is worthless now?" ”

"This is my first time, I don't know much about the rules of this trade" The girl lowered her head: "Take some food back, I have two younger sisters, I want them to be full." Can you give me more to eat? ”

The girl's words made the two men look at each other immediately.

"For the first time?" The fat man's face seemed to suddenly turn rosy, as if he had won the jackpot, but he suddenly remembered something: "In this case, the price will be doubled!" ”

"Double? That's even better! Ingrid looked up, a hint of relief in her tone.

"Although the price is high, I still encounter Ingrid for such a list, why are you here?" The tall man was a little puzzled: "This is not a good place. ”

It's not a good place to be. The girl's stunned expression seemed to be the reason for her to do so.

"Who wants to dedicate the first time to someone they don't know at a young age, I'm only twelve years old! Isn't this about living? Ingrid sighed. Helpless and pathetic.

"Then you don't have to come here, do you?" The tall man's sympathy seemed to flood all of a sudden, even though he was already familiar with this kind of thing.

"I didn't have to!" The girl's blue eyes showed extreme remorse, and she whispered angrily: "But for some reason, the economic and financial crisis suddenly broke out during this time, and all the money I saved was useless, I really shouldn't listen to the blind command of those bastards in the government!" I just thought I had made enough money to live on, but now I can't even afford sand! ”

"What about your parents? Isn't there a social relief ration now? The tall man's curiosity still doesn't stop: "Your parents"

"Relief rations are only given as a percentage of the adults in the family, my father abandoned us, my mother was sick and dead, and with my papers, I didn't receive anything." Ingrid lowered her head again: "Don't say it, take me to the patron, my sister has been hungry for two days." ”

"Isn't there anyone to help you?" The man digressed from the subject.

"Help? It's a great blessing to be able to protect yourself now, and only those like you who are supported by the rich can take it easy. ”

"What a hate! This government is really useless! The fat man couldn't help it, and his inexplicable morality jumped into his heart: "Little girl, it's been a long time since the famine, what were you doing some time ago?" ”

"Some time ago, I was working part-time, working as a maid, and the family was all good people, willing to take me in, although I worked hard every day, but I could make my sisters mix. But recently, they don't have any food left, I guess the families who are a little richer, it's about the same."

"Alas! It's hateful! Hateful! The fat man seemed to say only that, and he stomped his foot, nearly knocking down the ceiling of the sturdy house.

"I don't want to delay any longer." Ingrid pulled out a pocket watch: "Two or three hours at a time, at most." I don't want to wait long, I have to go home to my sister."

"Little girl, do you have a boy you like?" The fat man asked suddenly.

"The boy you like?" Ingrid looked confused.

"Yes, there are such boys, right? In this way, you don't go with us today, you have a good day with that boy first, at least don't leave any regrets"

"No, the first time you double, why miss this opportunity?"

"Huh?" This time, the two men were taken aback.

"There's no need for that."

"Isn't it that you don't think"

"I said, there's no need, please take me out of here quickly, and I'll go home after serving that man when the time comes! I don't have that much time! Ingrid said impatiently: "In this situation, it's one thing to hand over the first time to anyone!" I think that if I give the first time to those rich people who are good at it, the pain may be easier! ”

There's not much more to say.

"Alas" the tall man stood up and dusted off the fine sand stained by his clothes: "Poor fellow, come with me"

With that, the man left the room straight away, and Ingrid put on her veil and followed closely behind the man.

The wind was raging, and the dust turned the world orange.

The girl followed the man's lead, turned left and right, and arrived at another place, a castle-type hotel, where there was no dust, and the ornate chandeliers were unfashionably lit in the daytime, obviously, the residence of an empty boy with a lot of wealth.

"Get through that door." The man pointed to a flashing door inside the palatial building: "He's waiting for you there." ”

Ingrid hesitated, but eventually, she gently pulled the door open.

It was a scene that Ingrid will never forget, the feeling of the man's calloused hands rubbing against her skin, the pain in her heart, and the shame, torture, and grief of being violated.

That day, she went back later than usual, and every move made her lower abdomen ache.

Finally, she draped the curtain of night and stepped into a dimly lit hut.

"Linda~Lena~Sister is back~" Ingrid smiled tiredly and picked up the basket in her arms: "Look~ See what my sister brought back?" Cheese bread ~ enough for the three of us to eat for two days~"

"Sister, you're back!" A little girl with Bob's head hurried out, and I have to say that she was very similar to Ingrid, with her trademark pure and beautiful blue pupils.

"Linda, is it just you? What about my sister? Ingrid put down the basket and shouted strangely to the room, "Lena! What are you doing? Come and eat bread. ”

"Sister, Lena, she's a little sick," Linda said with some concern.

"Sick?" When Ingrid heard this, she instantly ignored the pain and hurried into the bedroom: "Lena! ”

The little girl with her long hair wavy was lying on the bed, snorting and panting.

"This is really," Ingrid touched her sister and made a preliminary diagnosis.

"Sister, is Lena okay?" Linda looked sad and stood by the door.

"It's fine, just a little cold." Ingrid exhaled, glad that her sister didn't seem to have a big problem, and that she could recover quickly as long as she drank more water.

"Lilith" Lena slowly opened her eyes: "It's hard work today"

"It's not hard, it's not hard~" Ingrid said with a smile: "It's really pitiful, my little sister, I'm actually sick at this time, you lie here first, my sister has brought you delicious food~"

After saying that, Ingrid trotted again, and brought back the basket, which contained a few fragrant breads, and the eyes of the two little ones, who had been hungry for a long time, lit up, and they ate with a smile, which could be regarded as full.

"Won't my sister eat it?" Linda held up a loaf of bread and wanted to feed it to her sister.

"No, no, my sister ate at the place of work today~" Ingrid looked at the two little angels with a smile: "Lena, you have to drink more water, oh, by the way, after tonight's service, what games are we playing?" Because Lena is sick, we won't play lifting high today, let's tell a story, okay? ”

"Okay~" The two little ones snuggled up to each other and looked at their sister.

"The Count of Monte Cristo is almost finished, and Edmund is now going to show his cards to that vile Fernand! It's going to be a very interesting plot today," Ingrid explained with a hum.

The small house was filled with the laughter of the three girls, and in the middle of the night, Ingrid put her two sisters to sleep and left the warm bedroom alone.

She leaned against the threshold, curled up clutching her lower abdomen.

"It hurts so much"

She looked at the basket of bread.

"Bread can only be eaten for one more day, and it will continue the day after tomorrow"

Helpless, she looked at the bright moon, and she felt empty in her heart for a while, as if she had lost something, just like this windless night, there was no hollowness in the air like sand and dust. She thought about it, what had she lost? But she didn't think of anything after all, but she comforted herself that no matter how difficult it was at this time, she still had her faith with her!

"Allahu Akbar (Allah is the First)," Ingrid muttered.

For some reason, Ingrid felt a lot less pain.
