Ling Chen didn't speak again, his fingers carefully ran over every abrasion or bruise on her face, and then he picked up the stream with his hand and washed her cheeks, and the pieces of mud were washed down by the clear stream, revealing the original milky white face. Ling Chen carefully arranged her hair, held her face, and said with a smile: "This is my day, it's really beautiful, when I grow up, I will definitely be a little beauty like your sister." ”

Tian Tian looked into his eyes, nodded slightly, his eyebrows curled, and smiled shallowly. This is the first time her brother has washed her face, and it is as warm as when her sister washed her, and it also makes her have a little inexplicable heartbeat.

Ling Chen looked down at her shoes and socks that were half stained red by dried blood. He held Tiantian in his arms, carefully took off his snow-white cute shoes, and brought a groan of pain from Tiantian. The coagulated blood stains made the shoes and socks stick together, and you can imagine how much pain she has endured on her feet that night and the past few days of running. Ling Chen's distress was like a needle prick...... Walking with such a thin body on his back all night, both feet were completely worn out, and that night, she was completely using all her faith to accomplish something that would have been impossible.

What other reason did he have to be selfish and seek death?

The white socks were bloodstained, shocking, and Ling Chen, who saw it, gently inhaled a breath of cold air. After so many days, the wounds on her feet and her socks were long since glued together with the coagulated blood. Ling Chen lightly held her two little feet, but he never dared to take off her socks, his chest continued to rise and fall, for a long time, he put Tian Tian down, and said softly: "Tian Tian, sit still, wait for me for a while." ”

Ling Chen didn't dare to go too far, so as not to make Tiantian panic. There was a variety of vegetation growing here, and soon, he found what he was looking for in his surroundings, and after a while of hard work, he had a large green blade of grass in his hand. He came to Tian Tian's side, put down the blade of grass, and then squatted down and carefully rolled up Tian Tian's two socks down little by little.

"Brother...... I ...... "I knew what he was going to do every day, and my whole body tensed up with nervousness.

Rolling the socks all the way to the point near the blood stains, Ling Chen was not willing to continue rolling them, otherwise he would pull the wound. He held Tiantian's two little feet, relaxed his hands, massaged gently, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Tiantian, ask you a question, you have to think about it carefully, and then answer it seriously?" ”

Tian Tian became curious: "Huh? What's the problem? ”

Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "There were four people playing mahjong in the house, and then the police came, but they took five people away, why is this?" ”

"Four people...... The police...... Five people ......" Tian Tian began to think very seriously, and then said weakly: "There is a person...... Hidden? ”

"No," Ling Chen shook his head, and then said with a smug face: "It's four people playing mahjong, and the person they play is called mahjong!" ”

Tian Tian was stunned, and then laughed out loud. At this moment, Ling Chen lightly pressed the hands of Tiantian's feet and used precise force at the same time, and pulled down the two blood-stained socks in an instant.

"Ah!!h

The skin and flesh have been knotted with the socks, this time, it is undoubtedly the wound on Tiantian's feet that is torn apart, and the sudden sharp pain makes Tiantian let out a miserable scream, and tears burst out at once. Ling Chen quickly hugged Tiantian in his arms, hugged her cheek to his chest, and said in a heartache and hurriedly: "If you don't cry every day, it will hurt for a while, and it will be fine soon, just for a while......"

The wound was torn open, and blood immediately flowed out of Tiantian's feet, but if he didn't do this, the skin and flesh would become tighter and tighter with the socks, and the consequences would be much more serious. That pain was on Tiantian's feet, but also on his heart, holding Tiantian, he felt the sourness in his heart and nose...... He will not forget that all this pain is for him.

Tiantian's body stopped trembling, her eyes were full of tears, but she no longer shouted, but tightened her feet tightly, and nodded so obediently in Ling Chen's arms: "Brother...... I...... Not afraid of pain...... My brother woke up, and he was not afraid of such a little pain, ...... at all"

Ling Chen suppressed the water droplets for a while, and finally fell from his eyes, silently hitting Tiantian's back.

The cool stream flowed through the feet of Tiantian, washing the wounds and bloodstains, and the two little feet were quickly washed clean in Ling Chen's hands, white and tender, just a piece of contusion shocking. Ling Chen took the blades of grass he had picked before into his mouth, chewed them carefully, and then leaned down and smeared them little by little on the wounds that had begun to stop bleeding. didn't cry out of pain every day, silently looked at her brother who was carefully holding her feet, his eyes were more crystal clear than rhinestones, full of haze and attachment.

The emerald green herbs spread all over Tiantian's two little feet, and then they were torn off from their clothes by Ling Chen, and the washed cloth strips were gently wrapped several times. He couldn't bear to let Tiantian's feet touch the ground, so he carried Tiantian on his back and walked forward. The day and night she carried him, he had to pay it back for the rest of his life.

There was a foul smell all over the body, and both the clothes and the body were already dirty, but this stream was clearly not a place to bathe. He carried Tiantian on his back, walking forward step by step, looking for a place to take a bath and eat.

"Brother, where are we going?" Lying on Ling Chen's back every day, he asked softly. The smell from Ling Chen was particularly pungent, but her demeanor was so attached and enjoyable.

Where to go...... Ling Chen didn't know. Before his physical strength was fully recovered, Jinghua could not go back. If they are no longer there, and their home is destroyed, where can he and Tian Tian go?

Ling Chen's footsteps paused, and Shui Ruo's smile appeared in his mind, and his memory returned to the past that seemed to be far away and seemed to be just yesterday.

It would be nice if time could stand still forever at that time...... carefree, carefree, as long as you look at her, the whole world is so dazzling......

"Let's go back to Zhongzhou." Ling Chen stopped and muttered as if unconsciously.

"Zhongzhou? What is that place? Tian Tian raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"It was me and Ruoruo who met...... Watching her grow up ......"

………………………………………………………………………………

Two days later.

Zhongzhou Province, named after the most righteous center of the geographical location of Huaxia State, is about 1,200 kilometers away from Jinghua City. There are distinct seasonal characteristics throughout the year. The provincial capital is Zhongzhou City, which is located in the middle of Zhongzhou, and to the south, it is close to the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is known as the "Paradise Capital" of China.

The temperature in Zhongzhou City is significantly higher than that in Jinghua. Especially at noon, the scorching sun bakes the earth, constantly provoking passers-by to whisper curses about the climate.

Here, in the northern suburbs of Zhongzhou City, there are no ornate and conspicuous buildings, the residential buildings side by side are single and old, and there are few pedestrians, and they are all in a hurry, and it is quite a long distance from the city center. Most of the people who live here live at the bottom of society and spend their days running for a living.

At the corner of an ordinary street, a man in a coarse cloth shirt appeared, his hair a little disheveled, half of his face hidden, but still a very young man. He stood there, staring ahead in a daze...... I can't really find anything that catches the eye here, though. On his back, he was also carrying a girl in her early teens, who was also dressed in plain colors. Their outfits are a bit heavy in the weather, and the occasional passer-by will give them a second glance and then hurried away.

From Jinghua, to Zhongzhou.

The same route, the same method, and the same persecution by the Long family...... Or is this place......

Everything was so similar that he couldn't help but want to cry.

………………………………

"Big brother! Big brother, wake up, you're going to burn if you lie on the ground like this. Big brother ......"

"Big brother, are you sick? Can you stand up? It's going to be hot when you lie on the ground like this...... Ah, it's okay, my dad and mom will be over right away. They're going to help the big brother, and by the way, my dad is a doctor, so he'll definitely make the big brother better. ”

"I don't have water...... Is this okay? It's cool and sweet............ Is it delicious? If it's delicious, I'll drink it all, and if I still want to drink it, I'll ask my parents to buy it again. ”

………………………………

Ling Chen's heart and eyes were violently turbulent, and the voice that he would never forget until he died hit his heart like a surging wave...... Back then, it was in the same place where he was standing that he met the girl who had completely walked into his life. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed. He's here again...... But he could no longer see her smile or hear her angelic voice.

From that place back then, just like back then, I jumped on the train to Zhongzhou every day, jumped off in the same place, and came to this place where I came back then...... Everything is interrupted here. What he hoped for could never be seen again. That beautiful encounter will never happen once in a lifetime. Before going to Jinghua, he and Shui Ruo agreed to come back immediately after they got well, because this is their home and a place that retains too many of their good memories. In Jinghua, he and Shui Ruo always mentioned Zhongzhou the most, planning the date of "going home" again and again, and what to do after going back. But in the end...... Still......

"Brother......

Feeling Ling Chen's chaotic heartbeat all of a sudden, he raised his head every day and looked at him worriedly.

Ling Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just remembered when I met Ruoruo." ”

Zhongzhou ...... I am back......
