Somewhere near the junction of Jinghua and Beizhou.

Wild trees are high and low, and all kinds of plants and trees cover the field of vision, reaching into the distance that cannot be seen. This seems to be an undeveloped, or forgotten mountainous and hilly area, in China, where modernization is progressing very quickly and covering more and more extensively, such places are becoming fewer and fewer, all the way to the north, occasionally you can see patches of large or small farmland, and then forward, the sight begins to appear in the line of sight one by one, seriously inconsistent with the modern style, extremely rough houses.

Here, it should be a small village.

The girl looked to be only about ten years old, her light blue printed skirt was torn in many places, her calves were covered with bruises and blood, her hair was messy, her small face was covered with mud, and there were multiple abrasions on her forehead. Only one pair of eyes is still beautiful, like the purest gems. She pushed open the wooden door that had begun to be familiar, looked nervously at the woman who was forty years old and had a simple smile on her face, and said timidly: "Auntie, can you ...... Give me some more sugar? ”

"Are you done with that? Come on, kid, come in and sit down, I've got a lot of good food here. The middle-aged woman said kindly. The first time she saw this girl was three days ago, and judging by the way she looked, she must have fallen from the mountain wall far away. In previous years, there have been people who have fallen from it. Although her clothes are dirty, she still looks very luxurious. When she first saw her, her face was full of distressing timidity, but she still mustered up the courage and begged her for some sugar...... She later learned that she and many of the families here asked for some, and finally asked for a small bowl, and then ran away in a hurry.

There are only a few dozen families living here, and most of them are usually self-sufficient, and they don't necessarily go out to the city once a year and a half, and their personalities are simple and kind. This girl has a pair of beautiful eyes that make people want to like her. So whatever she wants, if they have it, they will give it to her...... On the first day, she left with a large bag of sugar, running very fast, very anxious, looking at her appearance, she gave up all those who wanted to catch up and see, so as not to frighten her.

Yesterday, she came to ask for some food again, still looking timid, softly saying thank you, and finally, she ran away in a hurry.

Seeing her again, looking at her appearance, faintly thinner than when I first saw her, people couldn't help but feel distressed, she wanted to leave this girl behind, let her have a good meal, and then take a good bath. It's clean, and she should be a very beautiful girl. But the girl shook her head: "Thank you, Auntie, but...... But I can't leave for too long, I need some sugar, Auntie......"

Seeing her nervous appearance, the woman could not bear to hold on any longer, and immediately said, "Okay, child, you wait a minute, and I will give it to you immediately." ”

Soon the woman took out a large bag and put it in the girl's hand: "Come, these are all for you." ”

These are already all in her house, more than the girls will be there on the first day combined. The girl took it, held it firmly in her arms, her eyes trembled, and she said sincerely: "Auntie, thank you, I will ...... in the future." I'm sure I'll repay you. ”

"There is no need to repay it. Take good care of yourself, or your family will be worried. The woman said lovingly.

"I ...... I will, goodbye Auntie. ”

"Hey...... I have some fruit here ......"

When she got what she wanted, the girl did not want to stay at all, and ran away in a hurry, as if there was really something very urgent, and she did not even hear the woman shouting to her. The middle-aged woman shook her head and whispered to herself, "What does she want so much sugar for...... It doesn't seem to be for myself. ”

Stepping through the wilderness, through the grass, through a grove, and carefully through a clear stream, the girl came to a place paved with rocks and weeds. Her steps were in a hurry, for fear that she would run even a little slower. Soon, she saw the largest stone and ran all the way over.

On the other side of the boulder, a man was lying there...... The place where he lay was covered with a thick layer of hay, which was very soft, and the summer sun could not reach him under the shade of the boulders. The man couldn't see his face clearly, for his entire face was covered with blood and scars, and it was difficult to find a good place in his clothes, and his original color was completely invisible, except for a dark red that could not be deeper, and exuded a particularly pungent fishy smell.

Three days and nights passed, and today is the fourth day, and he has remained motionless.

The girl came to his side and looked at her in the quiet, and her nervous heart suddenly relaxed. She picked up a small bowl placed next to her, looked at him motionless, and said softly, "Brother, wait for me for a while, and there will be food soon." ”

She picked up the white sugar she was going to come today, poured a lot of it and put it in a small bowl, then returned to the clear stream, filled half a bowl of stream water, washed her fingers, stirred gently with her fingers, and silently watched the sugar in the bowl slowly dissolve.

The stream is babbling and crystal clear. Above the water, the girl saw her flowery, dirty little face. It is the nature of girls to love beauty, in the past, even if she didn't go out all day, she would always ask her sister to dress her up beautifully, change into all kinds of beautiful clothes, and take a shower twice a day. But now, she didn't have any heart to care about these ...... Her whole world almost completely collapsed that night, and the only thing that supported her was the person who had been asleep.

The breeze blew, the water surface rippled slightly, and the swaying water surface blurred her reflection, she was stirring, while looking at the water surface blankly, her eyes gradually fogged, above the water, she vaguely saw the haunting face, saw her hold her face again, and kissed her face so much......

"No matter what clothes you wear every day, she is so beautiful, even better than the princess in a fairy tale. When I grow up, I don't know how many boys I want to charm. Yes...... Brother, you can also kiss Tiantian. ”

"Every day, what do you want to eat today? Do you want to learn to cook with your sister today? ”

"Come every day, these are what you like to eat, but let's say it, eat slowly, don't gobble it up, otherwise it's not good for your health."

"We are now a family, of course we will be together forever, never separated."

………………………………

"Sister...... Sister...... Whining...... Sister ......"

The girl began to cry, tears sliding down her eyes one by one, and falling into the clear stream, making small splashes one after another. From being picked up and returned to her new home, every day is so beautiful, my sister is so gentle, she always treats her like a princess, refuses to let her suffer even a little grievance, meets her various wayward requirements, cooks her favorite meals, buys the most beautiful clothes, plays video games with her that she is not interested in, bathes her, and gently hugs her when she sleeps. She habitually indulged in her doting, and even asked her to get dressed when she got up...... Thinking back to the past day after day, happiness is so unreal. It's just that everything is shattered. Now she will only return to that time in her dreams, and will she get into her arms again and listen to her soft voice.

She cried for a long time, and the sugar in the bowl finally dissolved. The girl wiped the tears from her face, took the bowl, and walked back carefully. For the sake of her brother, she must be strong, even if she cries, she can't cry in front of her brother.

A lot of sugar was dissolved, and the stream became very sweet. The girl laboriously and carefully picked up the man's upper body, let his upper body lean on the boulder, and then took a bowl full of sugar water, took a big sip gently, put down the bowl, and then parted the man's white lips with her small hands, leaned down, and put her tender lips close to him, with the most gentle movements, carefully crossed the stream in his mouth little by little into his mouth, and the movements were careful as if he was a glass doll that would break at a touch.

Before that night, he was badly injured and in a coma for three days. She remembered that during those three days, her sister would feed him sugar water in this way every day, because he was in a coma and could not eat, and it was best not to get oil smoke and fish. These days, he was in a coma, and the girl who remembered those days plucked up the courage to ask for a lot of sugar from the person she found, and then melted it into sugar water from the stream, and fed it to him one bite at a time, just like her sister did at the beginning.

The people who lived here were kind, but she still didn't dare to let them know about her brother's existence. Although she didn't fully know what had happened, she knew that there must be a lot of people out there who wanted to arrest him now, and she didn't dare to let him leak out in the eyes of others.

Three nights, three days, had passed since she woke up here. It was even three days, but she felt that a long, long time had passed, and every second waiting for his brother to wake up in worry and fear was an unbearable torment.

As if God responded to her strength, the unconscious man's breathing became more and more stable and powerful day by day, and countless various wounds on his body were also quietly healing, and more than half of them had healed today, and some of the scars that were not too serious had even disappeared completely...... This terrifying self-healing ability may only appear in science fiction movies.

This change also gave the girl great hope and motivation, except for going to those uncles and aunts to ask for something to eat, she spent all her time by his side, so that he would not be there when he woke up.

After a long time, the girl finally finished feeding the sugar water in the bowl, and the girl picked up his upper body again, put it back on top of the thick soft grass she had laid out, and then curled up, leaned against the boulder and sat beside him, looking at him with hazy eyes, and kept looking at ......

Brother...... Wake up quickly...... As you have clearly said, you will protect me and take care of me for the rest of my life...... You said that......

The girl's eyes quietly moistened again. But she immediately bit her lip again, strong enough not to let the tears fall.

And at this moment, Ling Chen's right little finger moved slightly.
