Chapter 40: Xiao Man (1)
Xu Mo was ashamed and ashamed, he wanted to hit his head to death, he didn't care about the apple anymore, quickly turned his head, and walked forward quickly.
Immediately after that, the little girl's childish voice called her 'Mommy' again, as if whispering something to her mother.
Xu Mo only wanted to get out of the sight of the young woman and the little girl as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to listen to what the two were saying, so he walked all the way to the wooden house in the garden, entered the wooden house, and quickly closed the door.
Standing still close to the door, still feeling the heartbeat of my ears, I thought: "I must have been seen by them when I reached into the trash can, and when they passed by the trash can, they didn't need to deliberately, as long as they glanced at the trash can at will, they could guess what they wanted to do." And when they see it, they will definitely think of themselves as beggars. ”
Although he himself has really been reduced to the point of begging now, it is difficult to live without begging. But after all, he hasn't taken the first step yet, and the psychological defense line at the bottom has not collapsed, and the only remaining shame still supports his self-esteem, and he is unwilling to let others know about his embarrassment.
And the more depressed people are, the more they care about what others think of them. He leaned against the door for a moment, anxious to see if the young woman and the little girl had looked in as they passed the garbage can. Several times I wanted to turn away and look outward, but I didn't dare, lest I be seen by the young woman or the little girl when I looked outward, and I felt extremely conflicted when I saw in the other person's eyes that there was pity, contempt, or any other strange thing.
So he pressed against the door, calmed down, and listened carefully to the movement outside the hut, but only heard the sound of a car engine, and it seemed that a car was starting up nearby and driving away into the distance.
"The young woman and the little girl must have left here. He guessed in his heart, secretly praying that although the other party saw him reaching into the trash can, he didn't pay attention.
This is a very strange psychological effect, in fact, he himself knows that even if he is really a beggar, the behavior of looking for something to eat in the trash can is seen by the young woman and the little girl, others may not take it to heart, but they will always not be able to pass the level in their hearts.
He continued to stand against the door for a moment, but still heard no movement, and then he was completely relieved, and turned to look out through the crack in the door, and the young woman and the little girl had indeed left, at least they could not be seen at all within the line of sight.
He let out a long breath, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he quickly felt hunger in his stomach and remembered the apple again.
Just as he was about to get out of the wooden house, he suddenly heard a car engine sound, and a black car drove from a distance.
It's just that the car has just passed, and a few young women are laughing and walking from a distance, although the distance is far away, they can still see that they are brightly dressed and refreshed, and his loneliness at this time is exactly two worlds that are completely different.
He was so hungry that he didn't have the heart to feel different from others, he only thought about the apple in the trash can, and only hoped that these young women would pass as soon as possible. It's a pity that these young women seem to know that his inner thoughts are going against him, and they are always not as good as he wants, walking slowly, talking and laughing, and it took a long time to walk a few steps away.
Xu Mo sighed, retreated to the wall of the wooden house and sat down, thinking: "These people are walking so slowly, when they leave, I don't know when the road is, it's useless for me to be in a hurry, just sit down and wait slowly." ”
As he sat down, his mind quickly shifted from the apple in the trash can to reality. He couldn't help but feel sad, he never thought that he would spend such a day waiting for others to leave in a dilapidated cabin for such a rotten apple in the trash can.
He wanted to cry a little, but he couldn't, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts only turned into a helpless sigh in the end.
Then I remembered that I had worked hard to get to where I am today, and I had cultivated still breathing, although it had many wonderful effects, but it didn't seem to help much in my life.
Moreover, when the breath is running, the energy consumption rate in the body is accelerated, and it is easier for you to get hungry.
Thinking that he was more likely to be hungry, he suddenly remembered what he had imagined before: "When you run static breathing, due to the acceleration of breathing, the pores around the body expand, and most of the calories generated by the energy consumption in your body are emitted and wasted." ”
"If you control your breathing and reduce the degree of pore expansion around your body, you can keep the part of the calories that were originally wasted in the body, so that the heat can be fully utilized, so as to reduce the speed of energy consumption. ”
In this way, compared with ordinary people, because they make more full use of the calories generated by energy expenditure, under normal circumstances, they can eat the same amount of food, but they can last longer. ”
He used to read Xianxia or martial arts novels, and knew that there was the word Bigu. And for people, it is obviously not reasonable to absorb energy from air or sunlight.
Therefore, he does not know how the characters in these novels have achieved Bigu. However, his own theory, in terms of results, is similar to Bigu.
He figured out the principle, coupled with the wonderful method of static breathing, which controls the human body's breathing, blood circulation, and energy consumption rate in the body, and it is not difficult to implement it.
According to his own assumptions, he experimented several times, and soon 'the qi is like a mountain, the blood is like a river', while the breathing slows down, the blood circulation is accelerated, and the expansion of the pores around the body is precisely related to the blood circulation, so it is easy to do.
He rejoiced in his heart, and immediately ran up, the heat was stored in his body, but the surface of his body cooled down, but it was somewhat similar to a cold-blooded animal, which was extremely wonderful.
Unfortunately, this method did not stop the hunger that had already developed, and no matter how he ran, his stomach was still empty.
Then he remembered the rotten apple, and was about to sit up from the ground to see if the women had passed, when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Someone was knocking on the door of the cabin.
Xu Mo was taken aback, and then wondered: "This wooden house is empty, and the nearby residents should know the way, who is outside, and why do they want to knock on the door? Could it be that the owner of this wooden house knows that I am inside, so he came over and wants to drive me out? Although this wooden house can be sheltered from the wind, I have been able to breathe quietly, and the cold and heat will not invade, but I don't have to hide here." I don't have to wait for the owner of this house to chase me, I just have to go out by myself. ”
Thinking of this, he immediately got up from the ground, walked to the door, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
But as soon as he opened the door and looked out, he was taken aback again. Standing outside the door was the little girl I had seen not long ago.
The little girl was only four or five years old, standing alone outside the door, wrapped in a set of pink down jackets with fur edges, the hat of the down jacket was worn on her head, only half of her pink snow-white face was exposed, her head was raised, a pair of watery eyes stared at Xu Mo, holding a huge convenience bag in her hand, holding it up with great effort, and said to Xu Mo: "Uncle, you eat!"
Xu Mo heard the little girl's immature but concerned voice, and his heart was sour for no reason, feeling that he had been spied on and saw his vulnerability. Although she is a little girl, she still has a sense of naked and undisguised display in front of the other party, and suddenly there is a sense of humiliation.
As if reflexively, he immediately turned his head away, not daring to look at him, closed the door with his hand, and returned to the cabin.
It's still the ridiculous pride that is at work, he can give up his face and pick up the rotten apples in the trash can when no one is looking, but he can't accept the handouts of others for the time being. Although he immediately regretted it after closing the door, if he was asked to choose again, it would definitely be the result.
He leaned against the door, feeling the weight of the handout, and he couldn't stop panting.
The little girl didn't leave, but reached out and knocked on the door again, and innocently asked, "Uncle, are you still there?"
Xu Mo listened to this innocent and innocent voice, but he didn't have the slightest courage to answer.
There was silence inside the wooden house, and there was silence outside the wooden house, Xu Mo did not speak, and the little girl stopped talking, and the sound of whirring wind came from outside the wooden house, but the atmosphere in the wooden house gradually became depressed.
I don't know how long it took for Lu Dao, Xu Mo came back to his senses, listened to the movement outside the door again, except for the sound of the wind, there was no other sound, and he couldn't help thinking: "The wind is so strong, that little girl must be afraid of the cold and left." ”
Thinking of this, he reached out again and opened the door.
"Uncle!"
The little girl's small body stood in the wind, and she once again struggled to raise the handy bag in her hand. Raising his head, his eyes looked at Xu Mo without blinking.
Xu Mo's tears almost flowed from his eyes, and in the past two years, after his parents disappeared, he had never felt this feeling of care from anyone else.
He stretched out his hand to hold on to the door, and finally stood firmly, and no longer had the strength to close the door, and looked at the little girl with the same determination.
Two people, one big and one small, looked at each other silently.
"Uncle!"
The little girl screamed again, and then walked towards the wooden house, and Xu Mo subconsciously made way for her.
The little girl walked into the wooden house, put the handy bag in her hand on the ground, took off the hat of the down jacket, turned around, and looked at Xu Mo again.
At this moment, her whole appearance was revealed, with a round face and more than a dozen pigtails combed on her head, two of which were pressed by the down jacket and hat, which was a little messy.
Xu Mo saw the little girl's face, but his heart was shocked, the appearance of this little girl actually gave him a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had seen it when and where.
After the little girl turned around, she carefully examined Xu Mo a few times, suddenly approached, stretched out her hand to protect Xu Mo's legs, and shouted, "Dad!"
——————
PS: These chapters are more sensational, but I have to write them, because some of the plots in the later text must be emotionally promoted. And Xu Mo's current encounter, if no one helps, will he really let him ask for food?
It is obviously unrealistic to write about an adult (adult female) helping him in this situation. In this society, even if you ask for food, others will give you something to eat at most, or give you a few dollars and pull it down, who will pay too much for you?
But it doesn't matter if it happens to a child, the heart of a child is only a child, and I think the vast majority of people can accept it
In this place where I lived, there was a little fat man who was about the second or third grade of elementary school. Every time I see him, if he walks in front of you and enters the safe door outside this building, as long as he sees you, after opening the door, he will definitely help you hold the door and wait until you come before leaving
I was waited for more than ten seconds, and I believe that if I walked a little slower, he would have waited too, but I have never been able to do this kind of thing, and when I saw someone holding the door and waiting for me, I quickened my pace and walked over
Don't underestimate these ten seconds, in this era, if you are an adult, it is not a parent, it would be good if someone else could stay for you for a second, praise this child
