Part 2: Escape
My sister understood that the old man meant to take them away.
"Boy, come here. The old man whispered to his sister. The girl tiptoed over, both of them afraid of waking up her sister, who did not understand the world. On his sister's face, the old man saw innocence and beauty, and his sister saw responsibility and responsibility.
The old man patted the "seat" beside him, pointed to the east with his right hand, and said, "From this point of view, my hand points to the direction of the rising sun, and you run straight forward from here, and in a short time you will be on the road." The elder sister was very vigilant: "Since you know how to get out of this place, why don't you run?" The old man lowered his head and sighed and said, "I'm too old to run." I'm a transit station here, and I come up every two days to pick people up, how can I get out?"
"Well, then we have to go out by tomorrow. The girl's brows furrowed together, and her good-looking features were tinged with eagerness. "Well, but only one of the two of you can go out. The old man sighed and continued: "In order to speed up the efficiency, they have set up a transfer station, and it is self-evident that each group must hand in at least one child within two or three days. If it is found that not a single child has been handed in in the past few days, then they will investigate very carefully, and the organization will not allow the appearance of traitors. Then I can't run away!"
"Hmm?!What do you say, you can only go out alone?" the sister's voice became higher and higher, and her voice became louder and louder. "Sister, sister...... What's wrong?" a childish voice came from the corner. My sister hurriedly ran over and comforted, "No...... It's okay, you go to bed. ”
"Well, good," the female doll's sensible voice made people's hearts crisp.
"What you said is true?" said the elder sister, who walked softly over to the old man, confused. More precisely: she doesn't want her sisters to be separated.
"Let me think about it......." she trembled slightly as she folded her back, remembering her father's words, "Don't let anyone see your vulnerability." "You have to be a calm and calm person. These words struck deep into her heart, which she was only seven years old in.
The sky slowly brightened, and the sun cherished the first rays of sunlight. "Girl, there's no time, it's almost dawn! Hurry up and run, no matter how late you and your sister can't escape." The old man stomped his feet anxiously, "They will come in a while, and none of you can escape!"
The elder sister quietly and cautiously kissed her sister's forehead, and she wanted to solemnly apologize to her sister and ask for her forgiveness.
Her heart was pierced with a needle that was difficult to pull out as she pushed open the dark, damp door. She violated her own principles: always protect her sister!
She ran desperately towards the sun, so focused that she couldn't hear the sound. She looked at the faint light in the east. She was exhausted from all these things, and now she ran by will. She felt the lead sensation on her legs again, and she became drowsy. Slowly, the road came into view, and then tall buildings appeared in the distance. Ahh
After a brief moment of agitation, the feeling of sleepiness and hunger forced her to lie down and sleep. She supported her body with her arms, slowly letting her legs, which were as soft as cotton, on the ground, then letting her upper body rest on the ground, and finally her head ...... Fall asleep.
