When the boy saw Yin Qige, he was frightened and sat on the ground.

Yin Langge was covered in blood, leaning on a large garbage can with his eyes half-open, his breathing was struggling, and the street lights not far away shone on his pale face.

It was an unusually handsome young face, with perfect and impeccable contours of angular facial features, and he looked like he was no more than a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but his narrow eyes were full of coldness, giving people a sense of arrogance, he raised his head and squinted at the boy in front of him.

The boy looked very thin, wearing a blue shirt and black cropped pants that had almost faded in color, with a few abruptly colored patches, and seemed to be a little malnourished, his exposed arms and calves were very thin, a pair of worn-out plastic shoes on his feet, and a cloth bag that looked like a handmade one was on his shoulder, which was supposed to contain a book, because the two corners under the cloth bag were badly damaged, and a small white corner of the book inside had been exposed.

Compared with the belongings of this boy's body, I am afraid that the value is not as good as the half of the shoelaces on Yin Qige's feet.

This area is located in the suburbs of EC City, here and the EC City downtown area of the drunken gold fans form two extremes, gathering with the development of EC City and the development of EC City and attracted by the luxury of EC City, but after coming to continue to frustrate, here is full of poverty, injustice and even crime, the EC City Government has long planned to demolish and develop this area, just because the number of people living here is too much, the demolition plan has been delayed again and again.

The boy looked like a resident of the area.

"Hey." Yin Qige had a cold face, stared at the boy and said intimidatingly, "If you dare to call someone, I'll kill you, get out!" ”

The boy was scared and shrunk his shoulders, but he still had no intention of leaving, he looked at the blood on Jin Nan's face and body, and said weakly like a mosquito for a long time, "You bleed." ”

The voice that has not passed the voice change period is still very young, so that people can't hear the gender, the boy blinks, his fan-like eyelashes flutter, looking cute and harmless, Yin Qige even thinks that this is a girl.

"Get out!" Yin Qige said loudly.

The boy shuddered, turned around and ran away in a panic, and then Jin Nan tried to stand up against the wall, but he didn't succeed in his efforts for a long time.

There are so many injuries on his body that even if he stands up, he probably won't be able to walk far, and if he can't find a hiding place, sooner or later he will be discovered by those who are chasing him.

Yin Qige tore his shirt into strips to bandage the wounds on his body, and the weakness caused by the excessive bleeding made him almost unconscious.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the alley, Yin Qige looked vigilantly at the depths of the black alley, and shouted, "Who! ”

I saw that in the depths of the alley, the boy who had left just now walked cautiously along the wall, his two black eyes as innocent and harmless as a soft and harmless little animal.

"You're you again?" Yin Qige looked at him impatiently.

"The adults say it's raining tonight." Maybe it's cowardice by nature, the boy's voice is like a mosquito, "You are so badly injured, if you get drenched in the rain for another night, you will die, if you don't come to my house to stay overnight, I will live alone, I can help you bandage." ”

Yin Qige looked at the boy suspiciously, although the boy looked dirty, his eyes were surprisingly clear.

At this time, two drops of rain hit the back of Yin Qige's hand.

Yin Qige beckoned to the boy and called unceremoniously, "Come here, help me up." ”

The boy quickly ran to Yin Qige and helped him up, the boy was too short for Yin Qige, Yin Qige almost used him as a crutch to support his body.

After walking for less than ten minutes, they came to the boy's quarters.

The boy's residence is really simple, if you don't look closely, Yin Qige thinks that this is a temporary residence built of a broken shed, a hut crammed into the middle of two bungalows, covering an area of only about ten square meters.

Pushing open the creaky door, the scene inside is also unobstructed, a bed, a cabinet close to the bed, and then there are some cardboard boxes and plastic bottles that seem to be picked up from rags.

The boy took out a roll of gauze and half a bottle of disinfectant from the cabinet drawer, as if he felt Yin Qige's dislike of his cabin, and said in a low voice, "It's all clean and usable." ”

"Little ghost, why did you save me?" Yin Qige suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" ”

The boy blinked and shook his head seriously, "No, the bad people in this place don't usually get hurt, and most of the injured people are good people." ”

Yin Qige suddenly laughed, he reached out and pinched the boy's cheek, his face almost came to the boy's eyes, "You are really stupid and cute, not bad, I like it, hahaha..."

The boy didn't hear what the big brother in front of him said, he looked at the face close at hand, in his memory, no one would ever be so close to him, and no one would say that he liked it.

The lonely and cold world suddenly shone into a beam of light, the boy lowered his head, his fingers tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and his lower lip was about to bite purple before he suppressed the astringent pain that suddenly surged in his heart.

"I... I'll bandage it for you. ”

Yin Qige took off his trousers and shirt, revealing bloody wounds on his thighs and shoulders, and the boy was really frightened the moment he saw the wounds.

"I'll do it myself." After Yin Qige finished speaking, he took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to the boy, "You go and take my watch as a treat, and then buy me a few boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and.... Forget it, you give me a piece of paper, I'll write it to you, you go to the pharmacy and help me according to the paper. ”

The boy hurriedly tore a corner from his homework book, then fetched a basin of water from the outside for Yin Qige, and finally ran out with the note and Yin Qige's watch.

After Yin Qige finished cleaning the blood stains on his body, the boy had not returned at this time, and it was already raining heavily outside.

Thinking of the boy's thin figure like a dry rod, Yin Qige couldn't help but worry.

After nearly half an hour, the boy pushed the door soaking wet, he panted and gave the bag of medicine to Jin Feng, and handed the pile of banknotes in his hand to Jin Feng's eyes, out of breath, "Okay... That's a lot of money, really.. Good... That's a lot of money. ”

Yin Qige's attention was obviously not on money, he looked at the boy's embarrassed appearance covered in rain, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, "You are stupid, you don't know how to buy an umbrella for yourself with money in your hand?" ”

"It's... It's your money, I can't just use it. ”

"You...."Looking at the boy's serious eyes, Yin Qige had no choice but to hold back the words of reprimand, he took the money in the boy's hand and counted it casually, and finally didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

There are more than 60,000 watches, but only more than 2,000.

Yin Qige didn't say anything in the end, and after treating the wound, he leaned on the bed and looked at the boy.

The boy had changed his clothes, still wearing a few patches, and his clothes and pants had faded, he sat on the edge of the bed, wiping his head with a towel while carefully looking at Yin Qige who was leaning on the bed, his eyes were very soft and harmless, and for a moment Yin Qige thought of a small animal like "sheep".

"How old are you?" Yin Qige kept putting his arms on his bent knees, looking very casual, "It looks pretty small." ”

The boy whispered, "It's nine years old." ”

"But you're as old as six or seven years old, what about your family?"

The boy lowered his head and rubbed the towel, did not speak, Yin Qige looked at his gloomy side face, and always felt that the child would cry in the next second, although he did not get a reply, but Yin Qige had guessed in his heart that there were many orphans in this area, the lucky ones would be adopted, and the unfortunate ones could only ask for warmth and food, and those who were starved to death on the street had also been killed.

Eight times out of ten, this kid is there. Nine are abandoned orphans.

Yin Qige was very tired at this time, he just wanted to have a good rest for a night to regain his energy, so he didn't talk to the boy, looking at this small space, and the small bed that was not enough for him, after thinking about it, he beckoned to the boy, "I want to have a good rest now, do you want to sleep next to me?" After all, this is your territory, so you won't be allowed to sleep on the ground. ”

The boy hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, you have an injury, I will kick your wound if I sleep restlessly, I will clean the ground and lay a few bags to lie down, you can sleep first, I will write my homework for a while." ”

Yin Qige shrugged, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Saying that, Yin Qige lay down, he hadn't slept well for several days, and he fell asleep almost as soon as his head was touched on the pillow, but the cold and hard bed board made him feel uncomfortable, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the boy was still lying on the table writing homework.

The boy's face was tilted, his face was close to his homework book, and his expression was extremely serious, holding a pencil the length of his index finger and writing one stroke at a time.

Yin Qige looked at the boy's immature side face, the eyelashes of his two eyes were as fine and lovely, like two small fans, Yin Qige supported his head with his hands, peeping at the small piece of peace on the boy's face with great interest, and his heart suddenly became extremely soft.

"Hey, I'm not sleeping yet."

Yin Qige made a lazy sound, the boy was startled, he turned his head to look at Yin Qige, blinked his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Did I make a noise to you?" ”

"The lights are on and glaring." Yin Qige just wanted the boy to put down the pen in his hand at this time, "Come on, little classmate, sleep next to me." ”

The boy hesitated for a few seconds and put down the pen in his hand, "No, I'm still ....."

"If you want to come and sleep, come and sleep." Yin Qige smiled, "Don't worry, your small body can't hurt me." ”

The boy hesitantly climbed onto the bed, and Yin Qige suddenly reached out and pulled him beside him, hugged the boy on one side, and said with a smile, "This way I won't squeeze." ”

From the moment he was held into Yin Qige's arms, the boy's body was as stiff as a stone, motionless, and his face suddenly turned red.

Yin Qige looked at his cramped and nervous appearance and felt funny, "You shouldn't be a girl, you are so thin-skinned." ”

The boy's body was close to Yin Qige's chest, his face almost shrunk into his neck, and after shaking his head quickly, he leaned his thin body slightly into Yin Qige's arms.

This kind of hungry and cold person wanted to grasp a trace of warmth and inadvertently pierced Yin Qige's cranial nerves, Yin Qige reached out and stroked the boy's hair, and after about a minute, only to hear the boy in his arms mutter, "My mother used to hold me like this..."

Yin Qige subconsciously asked, "What about her?" ”

The boy was silent for a few moments before whispering, "She asked me to wait for her here, and she said she would be back soon." ”

"Really? Did she go to work" Knowing that this child did not live here alone, Yin Qige suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "How long have you been waiting?" ”

"It's been two years."

Yin Qige's hand froze on the boy's hair, and then only heard the boy whisper, "They all said that my mother would not come back.... But I think as long as my mom makes money, she will come back to pick me up. ”

Yin Qige's expression was complicated, and he didn't speak again, he patted the boy's back, "Sleep." ”

In the next few days, Yin Qige was here to recuperate from his injuries, and the boy used the money that Yin Qige gave him in exchange for the watch to buy medicine and food every day, and at the same time, at the request of Yin Qige, he added a lot of new things to his cabin, such as the electric fan that he had never been able to afford, such as the new schoolbag he had always wanted....

In the past few days, Yin Qige has been impressed by the boy, and he can't imagine that a child who is only eight or nine years old can take care of his life so neatly.

Every six or seven o'clock in the morning, the boy would go to the breakfast shop not far away to work as a helper for nearly an hour, and the remuneration was a few steamed buns, and in the evening he would go to a restaurant to help wash the dishes for nearly two hours, and the only thing he got was a dinner, and sometimes the number of dishes washed was too much, and the proprietress would give him an extra five or six yuan.

And the so-called going to school is nothing more than secretly listening to the teacher inside a small bungalow.

Dozens of children gathered in the bungalow, using relatively simple tables and chairs, this is the residents themselves raised funds to invite the teacher to the private class, the teacher invited by the gentle temperament, even if he knows that there is a child outside the window who steals school for free, he has only turned a blind eye.

Knowing this from the boy's mouth, Yin Nan only felt incredible, he couldn't imagine that this child who seemed to be malnourished and weak had been living alone for two years like this, and he was suddenly worried that this child might die of exhaustion if he didn't live long.

In fact, what surprised Yin Qige even more was that the boy was as gentle as water, kind and innocent, he did not become the majority of the existence in this area because of his difficult life, he only knew the hooligans who stole food, and he did not sit pitifully on the side of the road waiting for the handouts of passers-by, and then in such an embarrassing life, he would actually help himself, a passer-by of unknown origin.

The boy hadn't gone to school for a few days, because Yin Qige was obliged to be his teacher, in fact, it was Yin Qige who passed the time by himself, he needed this small place to hide for a few days to avoid pursuit, and without any electronic entertainment equipment, he had to tease the little sheep beside him.

Yin wrote his name on a blank piece of paper, and then asked the boy to write his own name as well. The boy pinched the pen, and next to Yin Qige's name, he drew one stroke at a time, and wrote two words very seriously, Wen Yang.

Just by looking at the name, Yin Qige felt a gentle breeze blowing in his face, and a comfortable and cool feeling spread from his chest to his limbs.

It turns out that there are people who really live up to the name.

"What a sheep." Yin Qige laughed, picked up the pen and drew a circle on the paper, and was framing the names of the two inside, and then the tip of the pen clicked on the white paper, "From today on, I will be your eldest brother, come, call my brother to listen." ”

Wen Yang looked at him stupidly, blinked his eyes, and finally seemed to understand something, and his eyes began to redden.

Yin Qige rubbed Wen Yang's hair and said with a smile, "You will follow me in the future, I promise that no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”

Wen Yang raised his hand to wipe his eyes, tears fell down like a broken string of pearls, and he sobbed and cried, "Brother..."

Yin Qige pulled Wen Yang's small body into his arms and rubbed his head, "When I finish those things at home, I'll come back to you." ”

Wen Yang suddenly raised his head and sobbed and said, "You... Are you leaving? ”

Yin Qige smiled, "I can't rely on this all the time." ”

Wen Yang choked up and said, "It's okay, you can be here all the time, I... I can work hard to make money in the future, don't go..."

Yin Qige patted Wen Yang's shoulder, "It's not that I won't come back, I'll have someone come here to pick you up in a month at most, you just wait for me here, we can meet soon, don't cry, don't cry, obviously live so hard, how can you cry so easily." ”

Yin Qige helped Wen Yang wipe his tears, but the more he wiped them, Wen Yang finally hugged Yin Qige's waist, and his thin shoulders kept twitching, "My mother said the same thing back then, but she never came back.... I don't want to be alone, it's really hard to be alone.... You take me, I can do your laundry and cooking, I will do anything... No, I can learn too..."

Wen Yang only showed the fragility and helplessness that a nine-year-old child should have at this time, during the time he spent with Yin Qige, the loneliness of his small world was completely dispelled, and if Yin Qige left, the despair of being alone would undoubtedly occupy his world again.

Wen Yang's words made Yin Qige feel distressed and difficult to breathe, and he said very lightly, "Wen Yang, is it okay to listen to my brother's words." ”

Wen Yang in his arms sobbed for a while, and finally pursed his lips and nodded gloomily.

Yin Qige knew the worry in Wen Yang's heart, but he really didn't have the courage to go with Wen Yang a little, he was still in a state of life and death at this time, and if he took Wen Yang with him, the worst result might be to cause him to die with him.

The next day, Yin Qige took off the chain on his wrist and gave it to Wen Yang and asked him to sell it.

This money is enough for him to stay here until he comes back to him.

Wen Yang took the chain and left listlessly.

After less than ten minutes, Wen Yang pushed the door in a panic, "A lot of people are looking for you... There are really a lot of people! ”

Yin Qige's face changed, "What kind of person is it?" ”

"They were all dressed in black, and the man in the front had a scar on his face, and he looked so fierce, and they took your picture, and when they saw someone, they asked them, and they went in and searched for people, and when they asked me, I pretended not to know, and then they ran back to tell you."

"It's over." Yin Qige's heart sank to the bottom suddenly, "How do those bastards know that I'm here." ”

Yin Qige looked at this small space, and couldn't find any place to hide, going out at this time was to send him to death, but here he was just waiting for death.

"!" Yin Qige scolded, picked up the fruit knife on the table and hid it in his sleeve, and said to himself with a ruthless face, "If you are discovered, you will fight with them, and you will have to pull a cushion before you die." ”

"Are they here to hurt you?" Wen Yang looked terrified.

Yin Qige took a deep breath and calmed down, he still couldn't hide from what he should have come, "Yes, if it wasn't for the block I ran that day, what you picked up would be my corpse." ”

Yin Qige kissed Wen Yang's smooth forehead and said with a wry smile, "Don't tell people that you are my younger brother, it will affect you, I'm sorry Wen Yang, I can't give you a good life." ”

Saying that, Yin Qige turned around and was about to leave, Wen Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed him, "If you go out, you will die, brother, you hide here." ”

Wen Yang quickly pushed open a cabinet at the head of the bed, and lifted a dusty wooden board under Yin Qige's stunned gaze.

"This place was a restaurant a long time ago, and the location of the cellar is right in my house, and no one will find out if you hide here."

Yin Qige didn't have time to sigh at God's protection of him, so he quickly got into the cellar without saying a word.

"Don't make a sound, I'll call you when they're gone." After Wen Yang finished speaking, he was just about to cover the plank, Yin Qige suddenly showed his head again, and he was excited at this time because of his desperate situation, he held the boy's cheek with both hands, kissed him fiercely, and said excitedly, "In the future, Lao Tzu will marry you as a wife and have a bunch of children with you." ”

Wen Yang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said angrily, "You are shameless", and then quickly pressed down the wooden board in his hand.

Quickly returning the cabinet to its original position, Wen Yang was about to go out to see if the people outside were gone, and just about to open the door, the door was kicked open by a huge force outside.

Wen Yang was slammed into the ground by the door all of a sudden.

A group of people entered the door, and after a while, the small room was filled with a group of men in black.

Wen Yang stumbled up from the ground, looked at the group of uncles in front of him nervously, and the scar-faced man led by him took off his sunglasses, looked at the little one in front of him, and said coldly, "I remember asking you just now, but you said you didn't know." ”

Wen Yang nodded tremblingly.

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out from behind the scar-faced man, patted her thigh and said, "Xiaoyang, why don't you know him, didn't you take him to my store for dinner the night before?" Forget, just that handsome young man, isn't he exactly the same as the person in the photo? ”

Wen Yang was even more scared.

He knew the woman in front of him, and he took Yin Qige to eat two bowls of noodles in her restaurant the night before, and the woman casually praised Yin Qige, saying that he was the most handsome young man she had ever seen.

Wen Yang's chin was almost close to his chest, and he didn't say a word while holding the corners of his clothes with both hands.

The scar-faced man took out two bills from his wallet and gave them to the woman, who took the money excitedly and said excitedly, "I'm very familiar with this piece, who do you want to find next time, I will..."

The scarface man didn't wait for the woman to finish speaking, and directly asked his subordinates to drive the woman out.

The creaky wooden door slammed shut with Scarface's men, and there was a sudden and terrifying silence around it.

In the cellar of the black hole, there were suddenly countless dark fears surging towards Yin Qige, Yin Qige only felt that his palms were bursting with cold sweat, and his heartbeat was uncontrollably accelerated, he didn't know if the thin boy above would tell him where he was hiding at this time....

If he says, he will die, but if he doesn't say it, how will those frenzied thugs treat Wen Yang....

No matter what the result is, Yin Qige doesn't dare to imagine...

The scar-faced man walked up to Wen Yang, bent down, stroked Wen Yang's hair very gently, and asked with a chuckle, "Little friend, tell uncle, where is the man in the photo?" ”

Scarface's touch made Wen Yang creepy, and his voice trembled, "I... I don't know...."

At this time, the Scarface Man's subordinates, who were rummaging through the room, found the paper with the names of Yin Qige and Wen Yang posted on the bedside wall, and immediately tore it off and handed it to the Scarface Man.

Scarface looked at the two names circled on the paper, frowning slightly, "Your name is Wen Yang?" “

"Hmm." Wen Yang replied tremblingly.

"Where's this guy other than your name?" Scarface pointed to Yin Qige's name on the paper, and there was no smile on his face, "Little friend, uncle ask again, where is Yin Qige?" If you tell your uncle, not only will your uncle not hurt you, but he will ....." said Scarface, pulling out a few hundred-dollar bills from his wallet, "and giving these to you, huh?" ”

Wen Yang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

With a snap, Wen Yang was suddenly slapped in the face by the scar-faced man, and the whole person fell to the side.

The loud sound of slapping meat seemed to be even rougher than the scene, when he heard the sound, Yin Qige only felt that his heart twitched fiercely, and the next second he subconsciously raised his hand to push the plank, but he retracted it before he reached out his hand and touched the board.

He can't get out! To go out is to die!

He still has a lot to do! How can it be so easy to die here!

Bear with me!

Just bear with it!

Wen Yang covered his face with red marks, got up in embarrassment and took a few steps back, his eyes were already full of tears, but he still bit his lip and didn't say a word.

The scarface man seemed to have lost his patience, he turned around and ordered his two men to go out and continue looking, and then strode forward and grabbed Wen Yang's neck, lifting Wen Yangti's feet off the ground like a defenseless little animal.

"Where the are you!?" Scarface roared angrily, "Don't say I'll strangle you!" ”

Wen Yang kicked his legs desperately, his face gradually turned purple due to suffocation, and when he was about to roll his eyes, the scar-faced man let go, Wen Yang lay on the ground, coughing vigorously, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Wen Yang cried, tears surging down, wiping tears vigorously,

Hearing Wen Yang's cry, Yin Qige suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he grabbed his hair with both hands, and his mind was full of Wen Yang's helpless appearance.

But...

But he still didn't have the courage to push the plank away....

"!" Scarface scolded, and directly took out the knife he had brought with him.

Wen Yang looked at the bright knife, his face turned pale all of a sudden, he trembled back, and finally seemed to be frightened crazy, and ran out with his legs, only to be slapped back by Scarface.

One of Scarface's men went up and pinned Wen Yang to the ground, and Wen Yang wailed.

The scar-faced man directly put the tip of the knife against Wen Yang's body through his shirt, and said gloomily, "Finally, ask again, where is the person?" ”

Wen Yang was like a fish that suddenly fell on dry land, struggling frantically, and his extreme fear made him cry constantly, "Uncle please, please don't kill me... Don't kill me...."

Wen Yang's desperate cry for mercy was like a giant axe splitting Yin Qige's heart that he thought he had always been strong, and there was an endless flow of venom flowing wildly in the blood vessels, and his internal organs were corroded and tattered at this moment.

Yin Qige stood unsteadily, and finally sat slowly on the ground along a wall, he covered his ears with all his strength, but Wen Yang's cry could still pierce his eardrums and hit his brain!

"Ahh Wen Yang's cry suddenly sharpened, and his frantically kicked legs inadvertently kicked into the cabinet, making a thumping sound, "Brother! Yes!! Brother! ”

Yin Nan's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes widened, and he almost collapsed looking at the wooden board with a glimmer of light, at this moment, it seemed that countless hacksaws were frantically cutting his cranial nerves, he knelt down with tears streaming down his face, and finally hit his head on the ground hard.

"I'm sorry...."Yin Qige grabbed the ground with his fingers and choked, "I'm sorry... Wen Yang... I'm sorry...."

Forgive me...

I'm a coward ....

Time was stretched out little by little, Yin Qige didn't even know how long it was, he hung his head and leaned against the wall, his body was still trembling unconsciously, and his whole body seemed to be drained of his soul.

It was already quiet, but it seemed that someone was waiting for the rabbit, and occasionally there was the sound of two or three people talking, but there was no warm voice.

In the middle of the night, Scarface left with everyone.

Yin Nan felt that the whole world fell into a dead silence, but there seemed to be Wen Yang's heart-rending cry in his ears, he stood up in a trance, and finally crawled out of the cellar.

In the small space, there was nothing but the puddle of blood on the ground and the existing static furnishings.

Wen Yang is also gone.

Yin Qige looked at the red blood stains on the ground, his brain was blank, and finally knelt down with a thud, his body hung down as if he was weak, and his hands pressed directly on the bloodstains.

Next to the bloodstain fell the paper with his and Wen Yang's names written on it, half of the paper was already stained red with blood, and the word "Wen Yang" in that circle was almost drowned by red blood.

Yin Qige looked at Wen Yang's name on the paper, his heavy eyes were almost sore, he held the paper tightly in the palm of his hand, and finally cried as if he had collapsed.

He never knew that he was such a cowardly and cowardly person.

Since he was sensible, he has followed his stepfather to see enough dark Yin Qige, and he has always felt that he is more courageous and responsible than anyone of the same age or even some older people, but it is only today that he realizes that he is a complete coward.

In the face of Wen Yang's heart-rending cry, he could only hide in the cellar like a mouse and shiver.

And Wen Yang, who was only nine years old, didn't say anything in the end...

Yin Qige knew that no matter how high he stood in this life, this day would forever turn into a piece of darkness in his heart and enter the bone marrow, and in the future, every day and night before he died, he would be with him.

End of "Wedge".
