On a dark and windy night, the snowflakes carried by the cold wind hit people like knives, and a mysterious silhouette gradually came into people's eyes against the background of the bright moonlight. Maybe it's the moonlight, no one can see his face clearly, just a black figure that gives people endless emptiness and depression in the past...

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you..."

I don't know why, this person under the moonlight has a depressing feeling that even the moonlight can't dispel...

"Mom, look, who's that?" The little boy didn't want to go home, so he tugged at the skirt of his mother, who called him home, and pointed to the side where the moon was rising...

"Him! He just didn't listen to his mother when he was a child, and he didn't go home for dinner obediently! If you don't listen to your mother, your mother will ignore you in the future and let you go to the street to pick up garbage to eat like him! The mother didn't look at it, just stared at the little ancestor in front of her with a headache.

"I run outside every day, and I don't come home when it's dark." The mother took the boy by the arm and whispered a grumbling word.

……

"Crunch...", two people wrapped tightly in one and one in a small one, walked into the warm room, the fire in the fireplace was still jumping, and the fire was no longer strong, and it seemed that it had been burning for a while. But the fire was still enough to illuminate the small room. There is no longer room for a separate room.

On a round table in the room, there was a piece of warm meat, and I don't know what kind of animal it was, but in these days, some meat is really a luxury.

Yes, this year, this already barren continent has been plagued by an unprecedented plague, and the ocean current has sent a gift of the extremely cold land, a large cold snap, many villages have been destroyed this year, and a large number of people have fled their homes.

"Mom, it's snowing so hard outside, when will Dad come back?" The boy choked on a mouthful of bread and looked at his mother.

"Daddy has gone up to the mountains to hunt and will be back soon..."The mother looked at her son, who was gobbling up, and turned her head to the window.

Yes.

This family is still lucky, there are still men.

It was so dark outside, she couldn't see the man; It was so cold outside, she couldn't feel the breath of a man; It was so dangerous outside that she couldn't sleep at night when the man was not at home.

Mother wished she heard a knock on the door, but she was afraid to hear it... I hope to hear a knock on the door, it is my husband carrying a pheasant on his back, even if he returns empty-handed, scolding at her and scolding at her for the ghost weather outside, scolding this damn plague, scolding the hell for so many days that not a single beast can be seen... But she was even more afraid, afraid that the person who opened the door was not her husband, afraid that her expectations would become disappointed again and again, afraid that it would be the creditor who came to collect the debt... Oh yes, the damned creditor's family died of the plague, thinking of this, she remembered that the creditor had been good, helped their family in times of crisis, lent them money, lent them food, thinking of this, her heart repented, when the creditor's family was in urgent need of money and food, their family was closed, thinking of this, her mood was not even better, people are a good family, never took the initiative to ask for debts.... It's all this damn plague! And this weather!

"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.

"Mom! Isn't Daddy back!? ”

The mother did not answer, she did not dare to open the door, she was afraid that it was not him. She cautiously walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it...?" ”

At this moment, how she wished to hear her husband's voice.

However, there was no response outside the door...

"Knock knock..."

This time, she was on her toes. "It can't be a robber or robber! Could it be.. … Something happened to her husband...", she didn't dare to think about it.

The child is still so young, and her husband is the pillar of the family. These days, she can always see people from the village returning with people who had gone out together and died, and returning them to their relatives, who often sent them to the door, knocked on the door without speaking, put the body down and left in a hurry. After all... No one wants to be entangled by the family of the deceased...

Mother really didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid of this door, afraid of the cold and darkness outside the door, and even more afraid of if...

"Knock knock..."The sound of this knock on the door... It's changed.

"Mom... Isn't Daddy back? The boy saw that his mother did not open the door for a long time, but he was stunned and asked.

Hearing her son's voice, she seemed to come back to her senses, but she was still afraid. Because she didn't hear the voice of anyone outside the door, she didn't dare to open the door.

"Is it Uncle Wang next door?" Seeing that his mother still did not answer, and had no intention of opening the door, the boy wiped the grease stains from his mouth with his hand, pushed the table away, and ran over.

Unbeknownst to the boy, his mother saw it with her own eyes yesterday, and Uncle Wang next door had come back - he was carried back by the neighbors. He was already frozen in blood, his cloudy eyes could no longer be closed, and there was a layer of white frost on them, just looking at it like that, a dead look, depressed, and full of horror, the white eyes like dead fish eyes didn't know what to look at, not frightened, but completely uneasy...

The boy opened the door, and a figure entered. The mother was startled - it was natural, she really thought it was her husband's frozen corpse, she didn't dare to look at it.

"Mom! You see! It's the man under the moon! The little boy's words woke his mother from her fright, and when she reacted that this was not her husband's body, her first thought was that she must throw this stranger out of her own home, even if she died!

"Mom, he's still alive!" The little boy touched his nose.

"Rabbit! Don't touch him! These were the first words of the mother after being stunned, and it was correct, it was rational, it was out of a mother's instinct to protect herself and her child.

"Mom... Let's save him! The little boy said aggrievedly.

"No way!" The mother's attitude was very tough.

yes, where did the stranger in front of you come from? Is it a dangerous element? Nothing is known. What's more, his own family is already on the verge of collapse, where can he have the heart to save him from a stranger who seems to be a burden?

"Mom...", the little boy stopped talking... ……

Mother paused, the person in front of her was still a handsome face, although it looked dangerous and depressed, but after looking at it for a long time, there was a lot of righteousness.

"Good rabbit, it was my mother who was impulsive just now, and came to help my mother carry him to the bed." This is a trace of mother's humanity, maybe it is the guilt of the debtor before, awakening her conscience, or perhaps, the sudden appearance of a man makes her add a sense of inexplicable security in the days of fear and worry. After much hesitation, whether it was human nature or whatever the reason, she finally decided to rescue the dying stranger in front of her.

"Hey, it looks like he's just frostbitten and fainted from hunger, let's try to save him, as for whether he can survive or not, it's up to him." Mother sighed. Looking out the window into the endless darkness again...

"God...... Bless my man to come home safely......" In the moonlight, a clear tear stain was left on my mother's cheek.......
