Chapter Twenty-Seven: Little Black
"Brother, where are we going?" asked a six or seven-year-old child who was carried by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy in the heavy snow, with beautiful snowflakes in his eyes.
"We're going to a far, far away place, one that's beautiful, and ...... A place where no one knows us. Knowing that the child on his back could not see it, the young man still smiled lightly, burying all the sadness and loneliness in his heart, and all the misfortunes had to be borne by one person.
"Where is that?" the child asked, curious even more.
"You'll know when you get there. The boy was still smiling, and walked forward step by step in the snow.
"Oh. The child was very well-behaved, did not ask any more questions, thinking about the distance to be reached, staring at the snowflakes, a little dazed.
"Far away, where is it?" Li Yuchen muttered, waking up from his dream, a faint light poured in from outside the cave, illuminating the cave dimly.
Beside him, all three of them were still asleep, although they slept on the ground, in contact with the cold stones, they all slept very sweetly, at least it seemed that they were, especially the woman beside him, very calm, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had forgotten all her sorrows in her dreams.
He got up slowly, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the sky outside, it was a little bright, but he couldn't see the sun yet, it took a while, looked around again, there was nothing unusual, and retreated into the cave.
The light in the cave was still dim, and he felt that there was nothing to do, so he looked at the empty cave, which was a corner of the vault, and wondered if he could find something.
Touching the stone wall, the hand feels cool, it feels like it can be polished, not rough, but not smooth, the stone wall that can be seen is bare, there is nothing unusual.
He shook his head slightly, a little self-deprecating, feeling that he was a little naΓ―ve, where would there be so many opportunities, even if there were, how could it be easy to find out, there would be no fewer people with a heart, if the opportunity could be obtained simply, it would not be his turn. With his right hand, he caressed the stone wall and walked towards the darker interior.
"What's up ahead?" When he got to the corner, he suddenly stopped, his eyes staring straight ahead, but it was very dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he could hear it very well, and there was a sound in front of him.
"It's like the sound of breathing. He said in his heart, did not move, thought slightly, and felt very surprised.
They entered the cave last night, although they didn't investigate it specifically, they didn't feel anything unusual, and they didn't get attacked when they slept, it shouldn't be a beast, and they didn't hear any strange noises, so it could be human.
"But who could it be?" he thought for a moment, thinking that it should be safe, and made a small noise, "Hey, have you woken up? "Although I was asking, I didn't necessarily need an answer, and I was afraid of waking up someone who was sleeping.
"I haven't woken up yet, let me sleep a little longer......" The man on the ground dragged a long voice, and was very confused, sounding not very old, some of them were male or female.
"Oh, then you go back to sleep. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, and although he had doubts, he ignored the man on the ground, and continued to sweep the stone wall with his right hand, moving slowly, to explore the cave briefly.
"No, are they awake?" Just as he walked less than two meters, there was a surprise on the ground, only to hear a "whoosh", a small figure stood up from the ground, and two faint rays of light emerged in the darkness, staring at him, "Who are you?
"My name is Li Yuchen, hello. He turned around slowly, said softly, with a smile on his face, and moved his right hand slightly, only to feel that the other party could not see, and reluctantly withdrew his hand and stood still.
"Li Yuchen? The man muttered, and immediately lost his words, and had no intention of introducing himself.
In this regard, Li Yuchen just smiled and felt bored, so he didn't continue to speak, turned around again, and continued to caress the stone wall, completing the unfinished business before.
"Hey, how can you do this?" After a dozen seconds, the man shouted again, a little louder, waking up the three who were sleeping.
"Brother Long, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. β
"It looks like it's inside, let's go take a look?"
"Well, let's take a look. β
The two brothers' voices were not small, and the whole cave could be heard clearly, and the torches were lit again, slowly towards the inside of the cave, and the cave was illuminated even brighter as the sky outside became brighter.
The torch illuminated a slightly petite gray-black figure, and the face illuminated by the firelight was also black, and the black on the face was like the original color of the skin, and it seemed to be coated with a special substance, which looked a little strange.
"Brother Long, why is there one more person?"
"Well, it's one more person! Who are you, what's your name?"
"yes, who are you, what's your name?"
The successive words made the atmosphere freeze a little, and I saw that the dark face was ugly, and a pair of eyes flashed with fire.
Chen Long seemed to notice something, his voice slowed down, and said, "My name is Chen Long, he is Chen Ming, what is your name?"
"Chen Long, Chen Ming, I haven't heard of it, as for my name...... the little mouth pursed, turned to the side, and stared at Li Yuchen, "Hmph, I won't tell you!"
Chen Ming was a little unhappy, and whispered, "Brother Long, how can you say this person can be like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately retorted loudly, "That's what I'm like this, what's the matter? What can you do to me?"
"Brother Long, you say...... How could he do that?"
"I'm like this, what's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? You have the ability to beat me!"
"Ahh
In a few words, Chen Ming's fists were clenched, and he wanted to rush out, but he was stopped by Chen Long.
"Brother Long, I want to hit him!" Chen Ming was still unconvinced.
"Forget it. Chen Long sighed slightly.
After glancing at it, Chen Ming snorted coldly, don't look over, plan to be out of sight and out of mind, and let yourself not think too much.
"Hmph!" Hearing his snort, it was another cold snort that was competing with each other, and he also didn't turn his head, and accidentally stared at Li Yuchen again.
The woman walked over at the right time, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's dawn, let's go out." He glanced at the extra figure, with a smile on his face, a little unclear in the light of the flames.
"Why do you look so dark?" As soon as he walked out of the cave, Chen Ming spoke.
Li Yuchen also wanted to ask this, but someone had already asked, so he didn't speak, staring at the gray and thin figure.
"I'm so dark, what's wrong?" the man retorted, looking disdainful.
"Well, it's not his fault that he's dark......" Li Yuchen nodded, agreeing.
Before he could say anything, he was pulled by the woman next to him, and gave him a roll of the eye, telling him to obediently close his mouth and wait for the woman to speak.
Chen Ming also wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chen Long, and stopped with his hand, did not speak, waiting.
"This little ...... Brother, what's your name?" the scene quieted down, and the woman slowly spoke, and blinked her eyes, the meaning of which was only understood by the two who were about to speak.
After a brief silence, the man shook his head and said, "I don't want to say it." β
"And what shall we call you?" the woman continued.
"Whatever you want. The man shook his head again and looked in other directions.
"Then let's call you Xiao Hei, you look so dark anyway. Chen Ming spoke, which made the scene a little embarrassing.
The woman looked at Chen Ming, very speechless, and tried her best to stop it with her eyes, but found that it was not possible to use her eyes alone, and she was about to speak, but she was preempted.
"Since you don't speak, that's agreeing, then call you Xiaohei. Chen Ming said again, with a serious face, "Xiao Hei, hello, my name is Chen Ming." β
The person didn't answer, and was regarded as a default by Chen Ming, and also by Chen Long and Li Yuchen.
"Xiao Hei, hello, my name is Chen Long, and I am his brother. β
"Xiao Hei, hello, my name is Li Yuchen. β
The two said one after another, their expressions were very sincere, and Li Yuchen stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands to show friendship.
The woman was speechless, and the person known as "Little Black" was also speechless.
