Chapter Ninety-Six." I'll take you somewhere else."
The World of Dreams – "I'll Take You Somewhere Else"
"God has given us the emotion of compassion for all beings, but he has not given us the ability to save all beings.
I know that my life is not satisfactory, but I am biased and cannot bear the suffering of the world..."
The bag of hot food fell to the ground, and the wontons and white flower soup inside were scattered all over the ground, and this moment looked like slow motion no matter how you look at it.
All this came too suddenly, and although I can't tell what death is at a young age, I can't tell what death is, but my heart is no more vague than anyone else.
"Grandma... Grandmother... Wake up! Wake up! ”
Zhang Yitong kept shaking her grandmother's cold body, and her little dirty little tender hands looked so helpless at this moment.
"Tongtong... Tongtong..."Gu Ci stepped forward and gently hugged her from the back, but was pushed away by Zhang Yitong with one hand.
Zhang Yitong is small, but she is very clever, and before she finished speaking, she said in a crying voice, "No! No, no, no! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! Grandma just fell asleep! ”
She knew what she was going to say, but she didn't want to hear it, and she didn't want to believe it, people are sometimes so cowardly, and the moment they lose it, they reveal their most vulnerable side.
Humans are always the most interesting creatures...
They have emotions, so there is deception.
They have emotions, so they have disgust.
There are shortcomings everywhere in them, but there are advantages everywhere in them...
They have love, and because there is love, they learn how to love.
They have love, and because they have love, they learn how to protect...
But I don't understand why human beings should pretend to be strong...
They are also people who weep and fear in the face of death, but why... Can humans be so weak and helpless in the face of death? Nervous and helpless again?
Are they human? Or is this the meaning of life?
Her crying voice echoed throughout the park, the wind blew through the old trees in the park, and the leaves on the treetops were blown to sit on the groundtops, which seemed to be very common, but for some reason, it was a little sad...
Zhang Yitong broke free all of a sudden, making the half-squatting lonely speech unable to stand, and inertia made him sit on the ground with his ass.
"Tongtong... Tongtong! Listen to me! Listen to me! Gu Ci finally stabilized his body and hugged Zhang Yitong, who was almost out of control.
"Grandma can't get up... She's tired... You let her sleep for a while, just sleep for a while...", reassuring the lonely man.
"Don't! Grandma will definitely get up! Zhang Yitong's voice became hoarse.
Her eyes were already moist, tears blurred her eyes, blurred her vision, tears would flow down the curvature of her cheeks to her chin, and then drip down her chin, and the bitter tears would eventually slap silently on the cold ground...
"Zhang Yitong... You let Grandma sleep for a while..."
Transparent tears flowed through her dirty face, leaving two lines of white tears, and she habitually reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, but somehow, the more tears were wiped, the more they were wiped...
"No, it won't... No, it won't... Grandma must be tired... She... She's been waiting for me to come home..."Zhang Yitong sobbed, not so much sobbing as holding back her crying.
Under the words, her mind constantly reflected her grandmother's gentle face, every gentle word she said, everything she did for her, and even every smile she talked to her...
This scene kept repeating itself in her mind, as if there was a projector playing negative films, rewinding, replaying, replaying, repeating...
On a street corner where it's still raining, a little beggar in tattered clothes is hiding under an eaves that no one can shelter from the rain...
The rain washed over her shoesless feet, and it was cold and biting.
She didn't know how many times she was thrown out of the door by her adoptive father and adoptive mother, along with a few of her clothes...
She looked helplessly at the door of her adoptive father's and mother's house.
At this moment, a beggar with a rotten umbrella walked up to her and extended one end of the umbrella to cover the dripping rain.
"What's your name?" The old beggar asked.
But the little girl didn't speak, and stared at each other helplessly and in fear, and when she saw this, the old beggar asked, "Huh? Why don't you speak? ”
"Tell grandma, what's your name, okay?" The old beggar had a kind smile on his yellow face.
"I don't have a name..."
"What about your mom and dad?" The old beggar was silent when he finished asking, and the little girl was silent.
"Then follow grandma, just let grandma give you a name, okay?" The old beggar was very happy for some reason, but this smile was very good, "Just call it Zhang Yitong, your name will be Zhang Yitong in the future, tell me, what is your name?" ”
"Zhang... Zhang..."Zhang Yitong is a little blunt about these Chinese characters.
"Zhang Yitong, this is your name!" The old beggar said with a laugh.
......
"Tongtong ~ Xiao Tongtong, look at what grandma is in her hand?" In the distance, an old beggar was waving to Zhang Yitong.
Zhang Yitong trotted all the way over, and when she saw the thing in her hand, she suddenly cried out, "Wow, it's sugar!" Thank you grandma! ”
"No thanks, this is for you."
Zhang Yitong stuffed the sugar into her mouth, "Grandma, the sugar is really sweet!" ”
Grandma was very happy to hear it, this smile was very gentle and thorough, like a light in life, gentle and good-looking, "Sweet, right?" Today I went to buy it for Tongtong. ”
"But grandma, won't this be very expensive..."Zhang Yitong knew that they were beggars, and they lived a life with a meal without a meal.
"No, the candy is cheap, isn't it sweet?" Grandma comforted.
Zhang Yitong hurriedly nodded and asked, "Mmmmmm, but why is there only one piece?" ”
Grandma was happy again after listening to it, although it was blame, but no matter how it was said, it was like a kind of fun, and the smile on her face did not stop, "Hehe, little gluttonous cat, have you tasted the sweetness?" ”
"No, no, there is a second piece of grandma that you can eat, it's really sweet and sweet!" The simple and kind Zhang Yitong explained with a smile,
......
Everything is shattered now, at this moment, this "home" is no longer a "home", because this "home" has no family...
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yitong fell asleep in Gu Ci's arms, and at this moment, Gu Ci saw through all the past in Zhang Yitong's mind...
This night, Gu Ci was entangled in his heart.
I don't know how many times I have questioned, is this ability to read through the inner thoughts of others really useful to me?
He's never been so entangled as he is today... It seems that from the very beginning he was already struggling, questioning...
This night, he couldn't sleep, and he was accompanied by the loneliness and helplessness that he couldn't make a sound.
The sky was bright, Zhang Yitong woke up with sleepy eyes, her eyes were bloodshot at the moment after crying all night, she didn't get up late as usual, but was silent and didn't speak, quietly looking at a place in a daze.
Gu Ci sighed and said, "Let's take one last look at your grandmother..."
Gu Ci let go of Zhang Yitong, stood up, and took her hand, "Say goodbye to your grandmother, and I'll take you somewhere else." ”
