Chinese New Year's Eve, snowy night.

The bright moon is hidden in the black clouds, half-exposed, like a beauty who still holds a pipa and half-covers her face.

The entire sky, except for the edge of the bright moon, the rest of the place was pitch black, like a huge black curtain.

Petal after petal of pure white snowflakes refracted the brilliance of the moon from this black curtain, fluttered down, and finally fell on the land of white flowers.

The snow outside the house was not big, just a light snow.

It is not as vicious and annoying as the wild snow a while ago, but it is just a few pieces, adding a bit of poetry to the Chinese New Year's Eve night in the capital of Chen Guo.

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.

The same goes for good "snow".

The snow scene on Chinese New Year's Eve is beautiful.

Every household, brightly lit, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, celebrate reunion.

Several main streets in the capital are overcrowded.

The tourists who come and go, walk through like a shuttle, rubbing shoulders one after another, so lively.

The sporadic light snow did not stop the enthusiasm of the talented and beautiful people to go out, nor did it stop those naughty children from playing on the street.

The young men walked in neat green shirts and strides, and the young girls, all of them with their hearts, hid behind the crowd shyly, and looked at the pedestrians carefully.

Occasionally, when I see a man who likes me, I can't help but look at it a few more times, communicate with the female companion next to me, and finally, look at each other and smile.

As for the man who glimpsed at him, he still has lovesickness, or he forgets after seeing it, and each woman also has her own thoughts.

Only those innocent and simple children, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, only know chasing, fighting, and setting off firecrackers, and do not understand lovesickness and the pain of life at all.

"Smack-"

In an alley, another firecracker exploded, startling the woman in red who passed by the alley.

A few half-sized bear children heard the screams, ran out of the alley, clapped their hands in celebration, cheered that they had scared another pedestrian, and then immediately scattered and ran away.

Because under normal circumstances, the adults who are frightened by them will chase and beat their group of bear children, and if they are unlucky enough to be caught, they will be corrected to their parents, not only will the New Year's money be gone, but they will also have to beg for a beating during the New Year.

A few bear children ran in a hurry, and after a few breaths, they disappeared and disappeared into the alley.

The frightened young woman in red looked at the children who were scattered and ran away, but she just smiled bitterly and shook her head, without the intention of delving.

It's just kids, and she likes them.

The young woman in red just smiled and turned around.

She has important things to do and can't stay here!

Holding a red oil-paper umbrella and carrying a yellow lantern, she hurried deeper into the alley.

......

In the capital, there are rich and noble families who wear gold and silver, but there are also many poor people, who extend inward from this alley, and live in those poor people.

It's a slum.

Illegal prostitutes, habitual thieves, idle gangsters, hard-working people, and beggars are all mixed here, like a vat of muddy water that God can't even clear.

The clothes on the young woman in red are not rich and glamorous, but they are also decent, not like people who live in this tank of troubled water.

But she held an umbrella, faced the light snow, carried the dim lantern, and walked cautiously inward while shining on the bright ground that was no more than two feet wide at her feet.

She's looking for someone.

In the shadows, there are some suspicious or curious eyes.

The main street of the capital is brilliantly lit and bright as day, but this dark alley has the deepest night.

Several ragged men saw her and were looking at her curiously from the dark.

It was a poor family without even a door, a young girl, holding a five or six-year-old boy, in the girl's arms, still holding a baby who was just four or five months old, she tiptoed, looking curiously at the door, I don't know if this immature girl is the mother of these two children, or just their sister.

The young woman in red felt their gaze and couldn't help but look over.

The moment the eyes of the young woman in red touched the girl's eyes, the girl's body unconsciously retreated, and her eyes were full of inferiority.

During the Chinese New Year, this woman wore a good red and bright dress, but she only wore a tattered dress with gray hair.

The girl took the baby in her arms, hurriedly took the boy's hand, and avoided going into the house, never coming out again.

The young woman in red looked at the girl who was avoiding her suspiciously, a little unclear, but she soon stopped paying attention to it, because the eyes from other places were also projected.

Those gazes were terrifying compared to the girl's gaze, and they seemed to be not good.

A frightening-looking old man walked up to her and smiled at her.

The young woman in red took a step back in fright, almost knocking the lantern in her hand to the ground.

But when she saw that the person who came was just a beggar, she reluctantly settled down.

She took a few pennies out of her bosom and put them in the old beggar's bowl, and then she quickly ran away, taking refuge deeper into the alley.

In this slum, there are those ruffians and hooligans.

But maybe it was the New Year's season, and those who were really fierce went out to work on the streets and do a lot of work, and the residents who hibernated in this dark alley did not embarrass this glamorous woman who suddenly broke in.

Most of the eyes in the shadows only glanced at the woman a few times, and did not follow.

The young woman in red carried the lantern, still walking inward in trepidation.

In the past, she would never dare to set foot in such a place, let alone at night, but for the person she was looking for, she mustered all the courage in her life and came here.

The lantern is dim and shadowy, but fortunately, it has not been extinguished, and it can illuminate her way.

The old woman, who had taken her a tael, said that she had seen the man in the neighborhood.

He said that the gangsters in the alley robbed the man of all his money, stripped him of his beautiful clothes, and beat him so badly that his nose and face were swollen, until he knelt on his knees and begged for mercy.

Eventually, the man climbed into the alley and never came out again.

The person the young woman in red is looking for Zhen Pu.

She thought back to what the old woman had said to her, frowning, a little worried.

In the alley, deep and terrifying, criss-crossed, she is just a weak woman.

But she didn't flinch in the slightest, and carried the lantern, and just looked for it resolutely.

......

Finally, after turning another corner, the young woman in red finally found him.

But the once beautiful Zhen Pu Gongzi is now in the corner of an alley, curled up in a ball, wrapped in a tattered burlap bag, almost naked and naked.

Because of the cold weather, he shivered incessantly, and his black hair was also covered with white snowflakes, like frost hair in the faint white moonlight.

found Zhen Pu, and he was still alive, which made the young woman in red breathe a sigh of relief.

The hanging heart was finally let go.

The young woman in red put away her umbrella and walked quickly to his side.

She placed the lantern on the ground, untied her cloak, and placed it over him.

Zhen Pu, who was lying on the ground and was already dying, felt this sudden warmth, as if he had grasped the hope of life, and tightly grasped the cloak, wrapped it around his body, and refused to let go.

He opened his eyes faintly, and at the same time his mouth was weak, and he said almost pleadingly: "Good Samaritan, I'm hungry, give me food...... ...... food"

The young woman in red was already prepared, and hurriedly took out two cakes.

Zhen Pu saw the two pieces of cake, and without waiting for the woman to hand it to him, he snatched it up, tore open the cake, and devoured it.

As he ate, he muttered a slurred thank you, thank you!

This Grateful Dade's appearance, where is there still the appearance of a half-pointed gentleman before.

The young woman in red had picturesque eyebrows and looked at Zhen Pu tenderly.

She touched his dirty, messy hair with great tenderness, and her eyes were full of distress.

"Eat slowly!" she said.

But Zhen Pu still gobbled up, he had been hungry for almost two days, and finally ate something, not all stuffed into his stomach, and he wouldn't stop.

The young woman in red saw that he couldn't eat enough, so she took out a fragrant chicken leg from her body.

When she came, she knew he must be hungry!

The aroma of chicken thighs immediately attracted Zhen Pu, and he snatched it again.

"Uh-huh-"

As if he didn't see the oiled paper wrapped in the chicken leg, he opened his mouth and bitten, gobbled it up, and chewed the layer of oiled paper into it.

But because he ate the cake too quickly just now, the cake was still blocked in his throat and he didn't have time to swallow it, and suddenly another food was swallowed in his mouth, and Zhen Pu was choked and almost vomited.

But he, a hungry man, would spit out the food in his mouth, but he just endured it fiercely, and in his chest, there was a violent cough.

The young woman in red knew that he was in a hurry, and when she saw him coughing violently, she couldn't help but come close and gently pat him on the back, so that he could take that breath so that he could feel better.

"Zhen Gongzi, don't worry, ...... in the future There will be in the future. ”

The woman still looked at him tenderly.

Zhen Pu heard the young woman in red call out her surname, but she was stunned.

She knew who he was!

But he didn't want anyone who knew him to see him like this.

Zhen Pu stopped gobbling up, threw away the fragrant chicken leg in her hand, lifted off the cloak she had draped over herself, and pulled over the old and tattered sack again.

He turned and lay down, with his back to her, and fell back asleep on the ground.

"Girl, you have the wrong person, I am not the person you are looking for. ”
