Chapter 66: The Stray Child
“...... Although I have the same mentality as you like to see other people's bad luck, please don't say it so openly. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if this is a sad enough story, I'll tear up a handful of sympathy for you. ”
"If you don't mention your brother Kelkit, you're pretty much like a normal person. ”
"If you don't explode too often, you're not too nasty. ”
“...... Let's get back to business. Fighting Mouth, who was obviously not an opponent's evergreen disarmed and surrendered, he sorted out his language and said: "Many people miss their childhood very much, miss the carefree days of childhood, I don't know how your childhood was, but for me, childhood is a very terrible thing, unbearable to look back." “
"I've heard Miss Fairy mention that Senior Chang is an orphan, right?" Nan Xiaoyu interjected.
"Yes, I am an orphan, and the kind of pure orphan who has never seen his parents for as long as he can remember. Chang Qing nodded and confirmed, "I didn't live in Chenguang Town when I started, but in the second-level city under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Empire, which is quite far away from here, I don't know how I survived in the first place, and the first memory in my mind is to eat in the garbage heap with a small group of dirty children. “
"......" Anne and Nan Xiaoyu were speechless in the face of this pure suffering, and they found that there may be all kinds of entanglements and unsatisfactory points in their lives, but they have never felt this kind of 'pressure of survival'.
"I should be glad that I was born in a second-tier city," Chang Qing said slowly, with a look of memory on his face, "There are many people in the second-tier city, and their lives are relatively wealthy, so there is quite a lot of food in the garbage heap, and almost every dirty child can find enough to eat, without fighting too often, in this case, I can barely survive at the age of four or five." I heard some homeless older children say that many outcasts in the third-tier cities fight every day, just to fight for a bite to eat, and many children die every winter. “
"Shouldn't it be like this, why didn't you go to the orphanage at the time? Didn't the Eastern Empire set up a lot of orphanages to accommodate you children?" asked Anne.
Chang Qing frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Orphanage? I don't know what kind of orphanage you think is, I saw two older children go in with my own eyes, and they died in less than two months, they were the two strongest children in our neighborhood, but before they died, they were skinny and looked like they were sick, and since then, I have never thought of going to any orphanage." “
Anne opened her mouth, she wanted to tell Changqing that the orphanage she saw was not like this, but in the face of such a real person, she couldn't say anything.
Chang Qing continued: "Originally, my life trajectory should be to eat this garbage and grow up slowly, and after I have some strength, I will go to the dock, construction site and other places to help, and then gradually gain a skill. But I don't know why, there are fewer and fewer people in the second-tier city where I live, a large number of people are frantically packing their luggage, and many families are fleeing from this city every day, I don't know the reason at that time, and then I came to Chenguang, only to know that the Warcraft front fought a big defeat that year, the front line retreated more than four hundred miles, and there was a wave of panic in the border cities.
It stands to reason that the high-end thing like the invasion of Warcraft has nothing to do with us stray children, but those who have cars and livestock can run, but we stray children can't run, and the garbage in the city is gradually decreasing, and everyone can eat like the original one, at this time, it is inevitable that there will be fights. Ha, it was a wonderful time, every few days I had to fight hard, sometimes to grab a garbage dump, sometimes to grab a shack to protect from the wind and rain, and sometimes it was just for the sake of fighting, maybe for some reason, but I can't remember. “
“...... It's really an unlucky story. ”
"No, I think I'm very lucky, I was more than six years old at that time, and I was very thin in a group of children, but once I got into a fight, I always got the upper hand, and I could always easily knock a child much older than me to the ground, now that I think about it, this is probably the 'martial arts talent' in Master's mouth." Chang Qing smiled: "At that time, I was completely immersed in the pleasure of knocking down others and enjoying their fearful gazes, so much so that in the cold winter, I hit a heavy hand in another brawl and seriously injured the three eldest children.
Said to be a serious injury, in fact, it is not too serious, but for the street children, it is already very fatal, they do not have enough strength to find food, more than a week later, my little brother at that time ran over and told me that the three big children are dead, lying on the street corner I don't know whether they are starving to death or dying of disease, I was stunned for a moment, now I think about it, when I was more than six years old, I killed three people, maybe I am a very awesome character. “
Anne looked at Chang Qing's sad look and comforted: "At that time, you can't help it, after all, it's all about survival, they just died because of you, you don't have to feel much guilt about them, if you ......"
"Guilty? no, no, no, you misunderstood Annie," Chang Qing shook his head, "At that time, I never went to school, and no one taught me social values, all my worldview came from the world of homeless children, and the death of those three eldest children didn't make me feel sad for even a second, my biggest thought at that time was: Die well! No one will compete with me for food in this neighborhood now, I must not lose, otherwise I will die like them!"
“......”
"As the fights became more frequent, and because I kept winning, I became more and more domineering, and I was afraid of the street children in a large area around me, so they set a trap for me without my knowledge. Chang Qing said this, his face was a little strange, "Maybe you don't know, the most feared thing for a homeless child is to conflict with those well-dressed children, and when they encounter that kind of child who has a family, even if the other party is bullying themselves ruthlessly, they must desperately hold back, and they must not fight back, in case they bump into the other party, once the other party's parents or something come over, they will die." I've seen several homeless children who were beaten to death for this reason, and one of them just couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the other person to a fart and was beaten by several adults, and died not long after.
That's the trap those guys set for me, they deliberately made a girl's clothes so dirty that she looked like a stray child, and then they got her to my neighborhood, and at that time, I naturally had to go up and teach her the 'rules', and after a few clicks she cried and ran away, and now that I think about it, I was so stupid at that time, do street children have milky white complexion?!
Later, without any suspense, a lot of adults came, trying to beat me, I desperately knocked down one, and I was hit several times hard before I managed to escape, hiding in a dark and smelly corner and shivering, but the girl I hit seemed to have some power in the house, the city was full of people looking for me, and after meeting three waves of adults who wanted to beat me to death in a row, I knew that I couldn't live here, and I didn't think much about it, so I ran out of the city and into the wilderness at night. “
