Part 1: Fear

Next Chapter

"These two are smart, be careful not to let them run. The scar man touched the back of his neck with his left hand, and dragged the two young girls with his huge right hand.

"Hey, big brother, these two little rabbit cubs ......can't run under my nose," the old man confidently took over the two girls, his exposed skin was wrinkled, and his body was like a simple bone. His two big eyes glanced at each other, and he hunched his waist carefully, for fear that he would accidentally flash.

The scar man glanced at the scrawny old man in the house with disgust, then glared at the two weak girls, and hurried out of this cold and silent place.

When the man was gone, the old man changed his fierce face and threw the girls in the cold corner. The younger sister hid behind her sister timidly, and the older sister protected her sister like a warrior, ready to rather have the corpse in a different place than let her sister be hurt at all.

The night was deeper, and I only felt that it was cold all around, and the cold was close to my bones. Listen! It was the sound of cicadas, frogs, and crows! Gradually, my sister fell asleep with this lullaby.

Time seemed to freeze until the belated sun of the next day arrived. The sunlight scattered aimlessly around the window to make it possible to see the whole room. None of the broken wooden doors, the dilapidated beds, and the mossy walls filled the girls with hope. Yes, they were scared all night.

There was no food for days, and the girls were hungry. The younger sister gently tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes and said softly, "Sister...... I'm hungry ......" my sister carefully took out the remaining cookie foam from her pants pocket soaked in dirty water and quietly handed it to my sister. And the scrawny old man chewed slowly and slowly nibbled on the damp "edematous" steamed buns.

After a while, the sun hung in the air, and the old man was bored and reminisced about his tragic life: "I had no home since I was born, and I followed my uncle at the garbage station to pick up garbage to earn money, until I was abducted at the age of 15." But he was unlucky and couldn't sell it, and he didn't have any culture, so he stayed in this slave organization. Be a transit station and beg for food!" The old man is also pitiful, he has never left this remote town in his life to see the outside world. The saddest thing is that no one has ever taught him what is good and what is evil.....

"How old are you?" the old man wondered. No one answered, and his sister just looked at him vigilantly, and the old man who watched was furious.

"Grandpa, you are not a good person, I won't tell you, I'm five years old, my sister is six years old!

The old man smiled, for the first time in decades he had seen a sister with a very different personality.

"Haven't you been out all this time? Haven't you been to 'Kaifeng Cai'?" my sister's immature voice appeared in my ears again (PS: Nibbling Roast Chicken is the name of a fast food restaurant)

"When I was a child, I used to steal other people's chickens to eat, and that was my happiest time!" the old man's brow furrowed slightly. There has always been a 15-year-old boy living in the old man's heart, he doesn't know the routines of the rivers and lakes, he only knows that he will have steamed buns to eat at the transfer station, and when he is in a good mood, he may be able to have a pickle, which is delicious in the world.

"That's because you haven't eaten 'Kaifeng Cai', and Dad always brings it home when there is a harvest at home, but ...... Perhaps, we will never see Dad again" My sister cried, hugged her sister's waist, and couldn't cry.

If the girl doll he usually brought over cried, he always didn't care. This time, he relented. "Dolls don't cry, dolls don't cry......" The old man sang the nursery rhyme he learned when he was a child eavesdropping on the wall of someone else's house. My sister rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and gradually fell asleep again.

"He'll pick you up tomorrow. The old man leaned against the wall and said weakly. "Are we going to be sold? I don't want us to be separated. My sister finally spoke, her words full of sadness.

"I want to go out and see the outside world, to go to school once, to go to a big city once...... But I knew I couldn't do it. The old man looked helplessly at the doll, hoping that she would understand what she meant. Fortunately, my sister said categorically: "I will take you out and take you to see it!"
