Chapter 21: Betrayed

As soon as the day of his intermittent birthday passed, he felt that something was wrong with him, and his limbs were no longer so strong, and he was getting worse and worse. A month or two later, Intermittently noticed his abnormality, and finally went to see a doctor at his strong request.

After learning the details of his situation, the doctor shook his head and said, "Young man, because you have been too tired in the past two or three years, coupled with the fact that you have been sleeping on the ground for a long time, the moisture has soaked into the bone marrow, and the nutrition has not kept up in time, and you have tuberculosis, and there is no cure." ”

Broken Chapters calmly accepted this bad luck, and his own body actually knew a rough idea of it. But intermittently felt bad in his heart, and asked the doctor: "How long can you live?"

"Three months is the limit, because this moisture soaks into the bone marrow, like maggots attached to the bones, it will make people feel painful. ”

After listening to it intermittently, I felt scared for a while, and said, "Then the doctor will prescribe some medicine." ”

The doctor shook his head and sighed softly: "There is no medicine to prescribe." ”

Intermittently wanted to continue to beg the doctor, but stopped him out of context: "Forget it, these are all destined." ”

The doctor said helplessly to the broken chapter: "I have a pill here, you can take it, and I won't charge you money." It's just that you can't mention it to outsiders that I gave it to you, otherwise my reputation will be ruined. After taking it, you will be able to end the pain and leave quietly in the way of sleep. ”

Broken Chapter took the pill and said, "Thank you, doctor." ”

Over the next two months, he would hurt several times a day, each time soaking through his clothes with sweat and sometimes rolling on the floor. I could only watch from the side, tears flowed all the time, very helpless, how I wished that the pain could be transferred to myself. Broken Chapters couldn't help but take out the pills many times, wanting to end there, but after seeing his son, he still put it away, and it was a day to be able to stay with him for one more day.

After a few more days, he said to his son out of context: "I found a peasant family in another village, they are old and childless, and they are not bad. I told them that when I die, I will put you in their house, and you have to listen to them and treat them well. ”

Intermittently crying and saying, "Well, I remember. ”

"Then I'm relieved. ”

Over the next two days, as his illness became more and more frequent, he dug a pit for himself next to his wife's grave and found his own grave.

On the third day, he and his son came to the cemetery and said out of context: "I have nothing more to say to you, you have to live well, be grateful for everything the world has given you, and when you have the ability, you will give back to the world." ”

Intermittently said, "Well, I remember. ”

The father calmly took the medicine, walked and lay down in the pit by himself, looking at his son with both eyes and smiling. Intermittently smiled hard, showing that he was not sad. After a while, Disconnect felt sleepiness hit him, and his upper eyelids became very heavy, so heavy that he couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried, knowing that it was time.

After my father closed his eyes, tears flowed intermittently, watching his father's face slowly turn white and the temperature gradually drained. Finally, the pent-up emotions could no longer be controlled, and he fell to his knees and began to cry. After crying for an hour, the tears could not flow, and he buried his father little by little.

I slept intermittently for three nights between my father and mother's graves, feeling as if I had slept between my parents, and sometimes with a sad smile. Three days later, I walked to the farmhouse that my father had mentioned before, and from then on there was only one person left.

After arriving at the farmhouse intermittently, he was very opportunistic and diligent in everything, but he didn't like to talk much in the first month. This farmer treated him well, and he was very happy to see that the child was sensible and smart.

After three months together, everyone integrated into each other's lives and began to talk and laugh. The two and a half centenarians also bought him new clothes, and everything seemed to go back to the past, and the intermittent hard days were finally over.

In this way, after more than half a year, I have been ten years and two months old intermittently, and because I am well fed and warmly clothed here, I have grown a little taller, and I gradually look like a teenager. He cherishes this happiness very much, and he can do more for the family, and he starts working very early in the morning. Carrying water, collecting firewood, grazing cattle, etc., sometimes going out before dawn.

This farmhouse lives in a little remote, unlike other families who do it together in the form of yards, but it also seems quiet, and now it has been added intermittently, and the family of three is even more happy.

But the good days were short-lived, and one day before dawn, I went to a well at the bottom of the mountain to fetch water, but when I came back, I saw a raging fire burning in my house. It was too late to go in and put out the fire, so he shouted for help to the people in the distance, and when the people came to put out the fire, he found that the second elder of the family had died in the flames.

After sighing and leaving, the people fell into despair again on and off, crying and shouting, "I'm sorry. "I thought I had killed them.

The next day, a couple in their 40s arrived, wept when they saw the house in ashes, and called the deceased their sister and brother-in-law. Later, they buried the second elder together with the intermittent ones, and the people in the village couldn't bear to see them crying so sadly, shaking their heads and sighing.

On the third day, the couple said to Intermittent, "You are intermittent, my sister wrote to me about you not long ago." also praised you for being well-behaved, diligent, and sensible, and they were very happy. ”

Intermittently puzzled: "But I remember that they can't write, and they can't read." ”

The woman said, "Well, yes." She wrote those letters on her behalf, and I was very happy to hear them, so I rushed over to see you, but I didn't expect things to be like this, so you can come with us from now on. ”

Intermittently said: "It may be that I am unlucky, they will die, and I still don't leave with you, for fear of affecting you." ”

The woman's smile: "Sure enough, you are a sensible and considerate child, and my sister has no regrets about adopting you." It's okay, you're still so young, how can you live here alone, my sister will blame me if I know that I left you here. ”

It was difficult to resist intermittently, but finally agreed: "I don't know what's going on, this cow actually escaped, you can't leave it here, take it away." ”

The woman said, "Yes." ”

They set out in the morning and arrived in the evening. After breakfast the next day, the couple went into the mountains to cut firewood and walked a long way until they reached the depths of the mountain.

Intermittently felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Why do we have to go so far to chop firewood, there is outside?"

The man said: "The mountains and forests outside are divided into each household, and they cannot be cut down indiscriminately, and only the depths of the mountains are borderless." ”

Although I thought it was strange to intermittently, I still followed along. After walking for another half hour, the forest suddenly opened up, and there were people with big knives guarding it, and there was a big house inside, but at a glance it was not a house where people lived, but a workshop.

One of the big men with a knife walked over, looked at the couple twice, then looked at the break carefully, and said with satisfaction: "The people brought this time are good." ”

The woman's eyes lit up, and she asked happily tentatively: "Uncle, can you add some money this time?" ”

The big man's face sank, and he swept at them with cold eyes: "Hmph, you dare to add money, the one you brought last time was too clever, and it caused us a lot of trouble, and then it was directly thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves, and it was not bad if I didn't ask you to get the money back." ”

The couple shuddered and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, uncle, it's still the same price as before." This kind of thing will never happen next time, this kid is stupid, he is still big and in good health, and he will definitely be able to make up for the previous losses. ”

Intermittently understood that he had been sold by these two couples, and he pointed at them angrily and said, "You are not her sister, you are human traffickers." ”

The woman laughed angrily, and said to the big man: "Uncle, look, I said that he was stupid and didn't pull the machine, and he was deceived to come here to find out part of the truth." ”

Dahan nodded: "Well, this time is good, I will want this in the future." ”

The woman said to Intermittent: "Intermittently, let me tell you another truth, in fact, I lit the fire, and I also released the cow, hahaha." ”

Intermittently angry with bruises on his forehead, but he couldn't help them at all, and he wanted to fight in the past, but he was stopped by the man as soon as he moved.

The woman said to the big man, "Uncle, do you want to eat beef, and I will bring you the cow too?"

Dahan said: "I can't eat all the game in this mountain, so I still have time to eat your beef." ”

After the big man counted the money to the couple, he walked into the workshop with a hug and intermittently, and he couldn't move at all in the face of such a big man.
