Chapter 53: Half a Sweet Potato

Shabho's eyes were sadly closed.

When I opened my eyes again, my eyes returned to the dilapidated hut.

The young man in front of him picked up the tongs and bent down to dig something out of the fire in the hearth.

"Big brother, you're back......" Out of the inner room came a boy who was slightly younger than the boy, and his loose cotton clothes didn't fit.

The boy looked at Xia Buhe curiously, and looked around her: "Who is this sister?" ”

"I don't know either." The young man took out a blackened sweet potato from the stove, put it on the ground and knocked off a layer of carbonized skin, "On this cold day, I see that she wears so little and is cold outside, which is quite pitiful, so I let her in to roast the fire...... Ah Sheng, go into the house to find a piece of clothing left by her mother and put it on this sister. ”

"But......" Ah Sheng's eyes were embarrassed, and he secretly lowered his head, "The clothes left by my mother are ...... The remaining few pieces were also sold to Little Eye's family yesterday......"

Xia Buhe smiled: "It's okay, my sister has internal strength and is not afraid of the cold." ”

Ah Sheng's solemn expression instantly relaxed, and he cast a longing gaze at Xia Buhe: "My mother also said that she has practiced martial arts and is not afraid of the cold, so what kind of exercises are you practicing, sister?" ”

Xia Buhe smiled awkwardly: "This kind of martial arts needs to be known to adults, and when you grow up, it will naturally be." ”

The boy broke the sweet potato, and the charred skin was steaming orange and red, and the sweet smell came to his nose.

"You and Ah He eat this half." The boy handed half of the sweet potato to the boy.

The boy didn't answer, his reproachful gaze went straight to the bruise in the corner of the boy's eyes, and he said with some complaints: "Brother, why are you fighting again, you have to spend money on medicine if you are injured!" ”

"Who let the big fat dun always bully Ah He, he scolded Ah He for not being a man, and took off Ah Sheng's pants......" The young man's eyes were angry, and then he let out a contemptuous laugh: "Now, he is no longer qualified to laugh at our Ah He......"

As he spoke, an older boy walked out of the house, holding his trousers tightly with his two hands: "Ah Sheng has avenged me yesterday, big brother, you don't have to go to the big fat dun to fight......"

"Oh?" The young man frowned and cast an inquiring glance at Ah Sheng.

Ah Sheng avoided his eyes, and instead glared at Ah He: "It's not big or small, you have to call me second brother......"

The young man handed the other half of the sweet potato to Xia Buhe, but his eyes were fixed on Ah Sheng: "Tell me how you avenged Ah He." ”

Shabhe did not answer.

Ah Sheng didn't dare to speak.

"Ah Sheng, he ......" Ah He hurriedly replied, tilted his head to meet Ah Sheng's eyes, and then changed his words: Second brother, he stole Da Fat Dun's father's watch yesterday, and then took it to Xiaoyan's house and sold it......"

The young man didn't blame, but laughed: "Hahaha, Ah Sheng did a good job, I snatched the tricycle of the Fat Dun family, let's ride the car to Cangjiang to find Uncle Hao, how about it?" ”

Ah He raised his head and asked, "Who is Uncle Hao?" ”

The young man thought for a moment and said slowly: "I remember that my father said that Uncle Hao is the cousin of the second man married by my father's cousin, and he opened a company in Cangjiang, but he is rich!" ”

Ah Sheng was suspicious and took a bite of the sweet potato: "Can he eat white steamed buns every day?" ”

The young man nodded affirmatively: "Look at your ignorant appearance, everyone eats meat cakes with steamed buns, called Hanbaobao ......"

"And when are we leaving?"

"Put on all the clothes you can wear, and we'll go now!"

"Leaving now?"

"Well, we're going to get out before Fat Dun's dad finds out that the tricycle is missing!"

"Good!"

Half of the sweet potato was taken into the arms of the teenager, and the three rounded children disappeared into the snowstorm.

……

Shabhe stood alone in the house, and the cold wind poured into the house, and the fire in the hearth burned even brighter.

From time to time, there was the crackling sound of burning wood from the fire, and the sparks that floated out seemed to ignite Shabhe's chaotic thoughts, and her heart could not be calmed for a long time.

These scenarios are not reality.

But it's so real.

Why do I meet them......

Why can't I feel the cold of winter, but my heart feels sour......

Why should I feel sympathy for them, they are guilty of killing innocents!

Don't...... Behind this, is there a hidden secret?

Suddenly, the wooden door was shut, and the noisy cold wind was kept outside.

An illusory figure slowly solidified.

White shirt suit pants, is a neat young man.

"Do I look ugly now?" The man smiled at Xia Buhe, as warm as the warm sun of spring.

Shabhe shook his head and smiled back.

The stone bucket in front of him, compared to the appearance of the young man just now, has no dirt and bruises on his face, and no childishness and pride.

Instead, there is a shallow layer of sadness.

"What do I see, are your memories?" Shabhe asked.

"Yes, but not all, after all, I don't have you in my memory......" Shi Dou frowned lightly and turned his head to look at Xia Buhe. Will you blame me? I've hurt you, and I've hurt a lot of people. ”

Shabhe shook his head again and asked rhetorically, "Will you blame me?" ”

"It's not you who I complain about......" Shi Dou sighed, and then changed his words, "I don't blame anyone......"

"Then why do you want me to see your past?"

Xia Buhe looked into Shi Dou's eyes, as if he saw two pools of warm spring water.

The neat white shirt on Shi Dou's body gradually changed into the shabby cotton clothes of the family when he left home.

He reached out and pulled out a half-dried sweet potato from inside his cotton suit, black as charcoal.

"Because now I am like this half of a sweet potato, which is cold, dry and hard, rotten, and has become an ugly stone." Shi Dou lowered his head, "But I used to have a hot heart......"

The stone bucket was thrown casually, and half of the sweet potato was thrown into the stove and melted into a pile of red charcoal.

"I have to thank you for giving me such a chance to be freed from the torment of half-life. If I had accepted death from the beginning and had no obsession, there would have been no tragedy later......"

As he spoke, two more phantom shadows solidified in the room, and Shi Sheng and Shi He appeared one after another.

Shi Dou looked at the two people who appeared later, stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that we have been wiped out by the group!" ”

Shi Sheng and Shi He also laughed.

Only Shabhe couldn't laugh.

Let you perish...... Isn't that me......

Shabhe asked in amazement, "You don't blame me for killing you?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, and then let out a bigger laugh.

Shi Sheng walked up to Xia Buhe, bowed and apologized, "Ms. Xia, I'm sorry, if I hadn't had bad thoughts about you, I wouldn't have dragged you into danger." After all, I still looked away, I thought you were a rookie who just got started, but I didn't expect you to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, hahaha......"

"You are indeed strong, but your ability has only seriously injured us......"
