Chapter 35: The Pig Demon Promises to Look Up to the Stars

"This is Metropolis TV, and now there is a recruitment: the Moxi film crew is now recruiting a person with a handicapped hand to shoot a recent public service announcement, and those who hope that the whole city can meet the conditions can go to No. 15 Guangji Street for an interview. ”

With the help of that director, such an advertisement was broadcast in all corners of the city.

I stayed there for days, looked at the hands of hundreds of people, and still couldn't find the girl.

"What kind of disabled person are you looking for?" asked a woman with a burned hand, unwilling to be selected.

Yiyun looked at her politely: "I want to find a girl who has only one finger left in each palm of her hands." ”

"Girl?" the woman thought for a moment, "Girl no, I know one of such a disabled old woman." ”

"Old lady!" The director was holding Yiyun's arm intimately: "Old lady, what we are looking for is ......"

Yiyun thought in his heart: The girl in the mouth of the pig demon didn't know how much time had passed, so he took advantage of it: "You know?"

"Well, I know an old lady, but she's over ninety years old, and she lives on the south side of the city. When the woman saw this, she attracted Yiyun's attention, and immediately added proudly: "That old lady has been here all her life, and it is said that when she was born, she had only one finger on each hand, so she was regarded as a demon, and she was disgusted by the people nearby, and later killed her parents; for a long time, she lived in isolation from others." ”

"It may be this old lady!" Yiyun was a little excited, and then the director stuck to him like kraft candy, and shouted numbly: "Yunyun, then let's go and see ...... together"

Yiyun's half of his head was numb, and he yelled viciously at the director: "Lao Tzu kills people, do you know it! If you dare to call Ye like this, Ye will break your teeth!"

The director's eyes were full of brain-dead worship stars: "I just like your masculine taste of majesty and domineering!" Then the director turned around and yelled back: "Driver, prepare the car!"

The women took Yiyun and the group, and soon arrived in the south of the city, where they saw a very dilapidated hut that was almost a garbage cellar, lonely on a hill.

"Bang Bang ......"

Yiyun knocked on the rotten door made of cardboard, and a trembling old woman opened the door. Looking at the vicissitudes of life on the old woman's face, Yiyun saw that her raised hands had only one finger on each one.

"Hey, you're waiting outside. Yiyun said, and the director immediately stood outside sternly.

"Who are you looking for?......" the old woman asked in a dry voice, obviously not talking to people very often, and already a little slurred.

"I'm looking for you. Yiyun carried a bag of fruit into the house, and casually closed the paper door.

"Oh...... Look for me. The old woman's eyes were gloomy: "There are still people looking for me......"

Yiyun waited for the old man to calm down a little and then asked, "Old man, do you remember that you saved a little pig in the urban fountain?"

"Fountain?" the old woman's eyes lit up when she heard that the little pig was, and then it dimmed again: "I haven't been to any fountain, if you want to save the little pig, I saved one by the lake in the forest, hey, that's ......"

"Ahh

Obviously, saving the little pig was one of the few happy memories of the old woman, and she ignored Yiyun's surprise and muttered to herself: "When I was a child, I saved a little pig in the big lake, and I was fat for nothing...... When I came home that day, I found blood everywhere in the house, and my parents were lying on the dinner table with blue faces...... When the neighbors heard my screams, they all ran over and looked at me with disgust: I said that I had killed them. Well, since then, I've been worried that the little pig will die because of me, so I've never looked for it again. ”

The old woman spoke, recalling the events of a long time ago, and in the end, the old woman couldn't cry anymore, and from the old woman's intermittent words, Yiyun understood that it was not the old woman who forgot the agreement with the little pig.

Fate makes people, the little pig has waited under the fountain for decades, and the old woman has blamed herself in the world for decades, obviously there is nothing wrong, but ......

Yiyun carried the old woman to the urban fountain, and took her along the passage into the pig demon's cave, the demon power left by the pig demon was still a seriously injured appearance, and when he saw the old woman coming, the demon power suddenly trembled.

The old woman walked over and reached out to stroke the scarred pig demon: "Why do you look so injured every time I see you?" ”

"Woo ......"

The demonic power of the pig demon trembled violently, and at the same time let out a cry of sorrow.

The old woman leaned against the pig demon and muttered, "How many years have passed, I have become old, you have become so big, and the only thing that has not changed is that you are still injured." ”

At this time, the demon gourd on Yiyun's waist trembled, he thought about it, and unscrewed the gourd stopper, and a black mist filled out.

The pig demon soared over and merged with the demonic power it had stored. The wounded pig demon struggled to its feet, and then it arched its head over the old woman.

"Piggy, where are you going to take me?"

The old woman's eyes lit up, and the hill-like pig demon nodded.

One man and one pig, just walking in the quiet underground waterway, Yiyun followed as quietly as possible.

The pig demon walked slowly with the help of the old woman, and the old woman whispered something in its ear along the way.

Looking at such a scene, Yiyun's heart was touched.

How many people still break the promise of forgetting the promise that will not last long.

And this pig demon has been waiting here for decades.

The pig demon in front of him took the old woman and went to the outlet of the sewer again, where the muddy and filthy water was still draining and excreting, and the pig demon shook the old woman's head and lifted it on its wide back.

Then the pig demon leaped to the top of the cliff.

"You were too young to go out alone at night, and you said you wanted to be able to watch the stars with me at night one day. So now, are you still young?"

A voice sounded, and the old woman was slightly surprised, but finally calmed down: "Is this me speaking by myself, or are you?" I didn't expect you to remember these words after so many years. ”

Under the starry sky.

The old woman snuggled up to the wheezing wounded pig demon and stroked its wounds with her fingered hand.

There was silence all around.

There's no wind, and there's no buggy.

Yiyun looked there, and it seemed to be there: it was a little girl, holding a wounded piglet, looking up at the stars in the sky.

The girl under the stars belongs to the loneliness of the heart.

Some childhood dreams bloom in such silence.

Fade away.

No more traces.

And remember those things that used to say the words of promise.

It has long been forgotten in the unpredictable corners of the world.

I think of the night when I sat quietly on the grass and looked up at the stars many years ago.

That is the irretrievable loss of youth.
