Chapter 13: Angel

Angel felt more warmth in her sleepy sleep than she had ever felt before, and this warmth had only appeared in dreams before, when she seemed to be a baby and a beautiful mother who took care of herself.

It's a pity that in Angel's not too long memory, that good time was just a dream, she lived with her father when she was very young, but her father was not as gentle as the mother in the dream, he beat and scolded her, and sometimes the way her father treated her could even be called abuse.

When Angel was very young, her father asked her to sell matches on the street, and when the business was good, Angel could still eat something that could be called food, but once the business was not good, Angel would be locked up in a small black room by her father and beaten, but Angel was used to this kind of life, at least she had a home.

But then my father fell ill, and finally I couldn't even eat the bread I had managed to get from a gentle big brother, and then the dilapidated house that I called home was crushed by the snow, and my father was crushed in it.

Angel wants to dig her father out, but she really doesn't have that kind of strength because she is single, and there are so many things like this happening in the slums, and the people around her will definitely not help.

As a last resort, Angel, who was tired and cold after digging for a long time, could only pick up the matches left in her clothes and wanted to sell them for some food, but there was no one on the street on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the celebratory people would not pay attention to a little girl selling matches who wandered alone on the street.

At this time, Angela thought of the gentle big brother, she finally knocked on the door of the big brother, and then lost consciousness.

"Am I at my big brother's house now? Or is everything just a dream, and if it's a dream, I wish it would last forever. ”

Angel closed her eyes and didn't want to open them, usually once she dreamed of her mother, she would be like this, although even if she closed her eyes tightly, she still couldn't hold back the warm dream with her mother.

"It's still so warm, isn't everything a dream?"

After a long while, Angel noticed that the warmth around her had not disappeared because of her sobriety, and she cautiously opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eye was the face of a young man with black hair and yellow skin, although this face did not look handsome, but it had a different kind of gentleness.

"It's big brother, everything is not a dream?!",

After making sure that she was not dreaming, then she touched the black dress she was wearing made of unknown materials, this dress was so soft, and the fluff on the inner layer was so warm, it was thousands of times better than the torn apron she wore before, Angel even felt that even those clothes of the noble ladies were not necessarily comparable to this dress.

Then she saw the wooden bowl next to the bed, which contained some porridge that was already cold but still smelled sweet, and licked the corner of her mouth, as if there was still a trace of the sweet taste of this porridge on it.

"I'll give you a home!"

Angel thought of what Qi Lin said to herself, and suddenly felt so happy, with clothes that could keep out the cold, delicious food, and someone who cared about herself, this was already a dream life in Angel's heart.

Angel woke up and moved, Qi Lin had already woken up, slept all night, Qi Lin's spirit finally recovered partially, although there was still a little dizziness at the moment, but at least there were no symptoms of drowsiness or even coma.

Angel watched Qi Lin open her eyes and directly showed a bright smile.

Looking at the smile of the girl in front of him, Qi Lin's mood suddenly improved, he sat up from the bed and said, "It's good to wake up, I froze last night, I'll go make some breakfast, just when you tell me your previous story." ”

At this moment, the morning sun is rising outside, and the heavy snow that has fallen for two days has finally stopped, and the old and dirty city of the city is covered in white snow, and the whole city seems to be so neat and beautiful in silver, and the tender yellow sunlight adds a bit of warmth to the slightly cold white city.

And in a small two-story building in this city, Qi Lin and Angel, who had just met, were almost finished breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of thick white rice porridge per person, and a small plate of mustard shredded vegetables that Qi Lin bought from the Wanjie supermarket, it can be said that such a breakfast on earth can almost be called shabby, but for Angel, this kind of warm and all-you-can-eat breakfast will only appear in a dream before.

The time of breakfast allowed Qi Lin to figure out the origin of this little girl, and in the memory of the little girl, the origin of the girl was very simple.

The little girl named Angel has been living with her father in the slums, and the scars on Angel's body show that this father is not a qualified father.

In the accident that happened the night before, Angel's father was crushed in the house, and he was already seriously ill at the beginning, and this time even Angel knew that her father was dead.

After listening to Angel's story, Qi Lin carefully looked at this thin little girl of eight or nine years old, her golden hair and fair milk-like skin did not seem to have been affected by the hard life of the past and still glowed with a moving luster, the big blue eyes between Gu Pan seemed to glow with mysterious brilliance, although her cheeks were slightly thin because of insufficient nutritional intake on weekdays, but she could also see that she was a beauty billet just by her facial features.

"Can a pauper in a slum give birth to such a beautiful daughter? And Angel's name represents an angel, how can a person who named his daughter Angel torture his daughter so much, where did Angel's mother go?"

Qi Lin was secretly puzzled, but he didn't say it, for a seven or eight-year-old girl, there was no need to delve into her life experience, just take care of her in the future.

"Your father just died, and my only relative in this world also passed away yesterday, so you will live with me in the future, and I will give you a home, how about it?"

Looking at Angel, who was satisfied with touching her little belly because she was full, Qi Lin gently asked the girl's opinion.

"Well, okay, Brother Qi Lin. Angel didn't hesitate at all, she agreed directly.

Then Angel hesitated for a moment, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, Qi Lin saw her appearance and said with a smile: "Since you have decided to become a family, don't be so outside, just say something directly." ”

Angel hesitated again and said, "I want to go home, and Dad is still crushed in the house!"

"Do you want to bury your father?" Qi Lin asked.

Angel nodded slightly.
