002, frozen heart
002, The frozen heart ()
The little beggar was stunned and felt extremely strange. If this woman had no milk, why didn't she hold her own soft bread and feed her daughter, but instead beg me like a beggar?
However, the facts are no longer enough for the little beggar to think too much. He quickly tore off a small piece of bread and put it in his mouth, and put it in his mouth. The bread is still sweet, but it is still in his mouth, but the little beggar is not allowed to swallow it and spit it out. That is really a very difficult thing.
"snort!"
He gritted his teeth, and finally, he picked up the snow on the ground and wiped his hands clean, and took the bread that had almost become liquid in his mouth. He handed it to the little baby girl's mouth. After her mother helped to open her mouth, the little beggar finally brought the food into her mouth.
The little beggar kept feeding the bread, biting it, and putting it into the mouth of the baby girl. His belly was still screaming, and the sweetness in his mouth was still tempting him to swallow the food. But looking at the little baby girl whose face gradually regained its rosy, he could not swallow the food in his hand.
Finally, the little baby girl stopped eating. She closed her eyes and fell asleep deeply. The little beggar exhaled, looked at the bread that had been removed from her hands and frowned. Finally, he gritted his teeth and handed the remaining bread to the woman.
"For you. Don't let her be hungry."
The woman looked at the little beggar in front of her. She could hear the screams of his stomach and could also see how reluctant he was to the small piece of bread in his hand. However, the child still handed out the food in his hand to save his daughter...
The woman thought for a moment, pulled down the cloak on her head, revealing her entire face. As the snow fell, the little beggar finally saw clearly the true face of this woman!
She is not old and will never look over twenty years old! Even at the age of a little beggar, he could see that the sister in front of him was really beautiful, so beautiful that she was almost suffocating! If it were any adult man in the world, he would probably go crazy about this face immediately! Fortunately, the little beggar was not yet of the age to be interested in the opposite sex, so he had no other thoughts except for thinking that this sister was beautiful.
"Do you know me? Boy."
The little beggar's expression had frozen into ice since the beginning. He took a step back and stood aside: "I don't know you. My situation is better than you, don't think of using your name to make me respect you."
When the woman heard that the little beggar didn't know her, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. She reached into her arms, as if she wanted to get something, but when she thought about it, her hand stopped.
(This child can also save my daughter from the food he can live, it seems that he is not bad by nature. But before that, his actions were selfishness and hatred rather than tolerance and lenientness. Moreover, there was also a smell of blood on the knife in his arms... No, it was impossible, and it was entrusted to him so simply. No matter how urgent the situation was, he could not be so casual...)
Just when the woman was hesitating, she suddenly realized that the baby girl in her arms had something wrong! She looked down and saw that the baby girl's face became redder than before, and she looked uncomfortable and weak. She reached out and touched her forehead... It was so hot! It seemed that it was this snowflake that infected her with the wind and cold!
Seeing the woman's anxious face again, the little beggar was also shocked and walked forward. When he saw the woman touching the little girl's head and looking sad, he immediately understood everything!
"Hey, do you have Sura around you? Go and buy medicine quickly!"
The little beggar seemed to have a little anxious tone, but the young mother shook her head and a confused look appeared in her eyes.
The little baby girl's condition seemed to get worse and worse. She kept exhaling and inhaling, and the frequency became greater and faster. Her eyes were closed and she couldn't even open them!
The little beggar gritted his teeth and turned around and was about to walk towards the alley. When the woman saw the little beggar going, she hurriedly asked, "Child, where are you going?"
“Pharmaceutical shop.”
"You have Sura?"
"I have a knife."
When the little beggar heard the little beggar's answer, the woman's expression immediately became gloomy. But when the little beggar didn't look back and ran towards the medicine shop in the wind and snow outside, the gloomy face of the woman gradually melted away...
"You can't blame that child... He is willing to take risks for you, this is the best promise..."
The woman picked up the little baby girl and kissed her gently on the forehead. Then, she stretched out her dry hand that was completely incompatible with her beautiful face, and gently stroked the snowflakes slowly floated up and floated in the air.
"Go and protect that child, don't let him get into trouble, and don't let him get into trouble."
The snowflakes hovered in the air, rushed out of the alley like lightning, and rushed towards the little beggar. After the snowflakes left, the mother stretched out her hand again and silently recited a few spells. A white ball of light gradually appeared in her palm.
The light ball approached the little baby girl, and her breathing immediately became much more stable. Seeing that the little baby girl's fever slowly faded away. After her daughter's breathing returned to normal again, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. When her hand relaxed, the light ball in her palm also dissipated...
"Child... I'm sorry... Mom and dad may not be able to take care of you anymore... I don't know if you will hate us in the future, but for your safety today, Mom may have to entrust you to that child... Please... don't resent mom and dad..."
Cold and darkness formed the only feeling this street could bring. The little beggar stroked the knife in his arms, because holding the hilt could add more courage to step into the snow again.
The pair of numb shoes on his feet were completely ragged, and his toes were exposed from it, and they were frozen in the snow and purple. Walking out of the safe harbor in the alley and stepped into the street outside, letting the little beggar really consider it. Because it was too cold and too unsafe outside.
The snow fell even harder.
There is a thick layer of snowflakes on the ground. If you step on it, you can step into a hole.
The little beggar kept rubbing his arms and carefully put the last small piece of bread that was almost the size of a knuckle into his mouth, closed his mouth, and wet it with his saliva. He dared not bite it, let alone swallow it like this. This small piece of cold bread, like a stone, was already his only food now. He couldn't bear to eat it in vain, but he had to taste it carefully to fight the cold outside.
The small figure was walking on a street that was really wide for him. He leaned against the wall and moved slowly forward like a mouse. On such a night, wasting physical strength was tantamount to seeking death. If the soldiers who did not want to see a frozen corpse of a little beggar lying next to the road tomorrow, walking slowly was safer and faster than running.
Kick, Kick, Kick...
What time is it now? Look at the quartz clock at the intersection... It's eight o'clock. At this time, he had already hid under the bridge hole in order to avoid the wind and snow. It was as warm as a stove to him. But now, he walked slowly here and headed to the medicine shop.
...Why?
Before he knew it, the little beggar suddenly asked such a question to him.
Why should I give medicine to a baby I don’t know? What does the other person’s life and death have to do with me? Since I was born in this world, everyone must be responsible for their own life. I cannot act like I am still caring for others just because I am a baby.
Yes, why should I take care of her? She died because she was not qualified to continue living. There is no need to take risks for her, and use her cold and numb hands to hold a dull knife to grab the pharmacy. After all, I don’t know what kind of medicine can treat the baby’s illness. Why did I go?
The white snow fell on the head and shoulders of the little beggar like baptism. Just like this white terrible world, the little beggar's heart gradually became cold. His steps stopped moving, but stopped and turned around. He no longer wanted to go back to that alley. He just wanted to return to his nest as soon as possible, cover himself with a quilt, and use sleep to resist the coldness and hunger of the outside world.
“Gu…”
So hungry... It would be great if I didn't give her the bread just now.
The little beggar began to walk back. His toenails had been frozen, but the blood from the outflow was frozen in a short time. His feet became more and more numb, and his fingers had lost consciousness. If he could not return to the nest sooner, he would definitely freeze to death.
"You bad guy! Where do you want to escape? The messenger of justice is waiting for you here!"
Suddenly! A little girl's cry came from behind! The little beggar was startled and his frozen feet immediately spread out, pushing him into an alley piled with rotten garbage next to him, and hid.
The little beggar knew his identity, a thief, a robber. He believed that he would soon become a murderer. Those cold soldiers and those cold armor had filled his guardian world, making him like a cockroach that could not see people, beating and scolding people when they saw people.
"Hmph! Do you think I can't see you if I hide there? Come out! Don't you come out? OK, I'll come over and catch you~~~!"
The little girl's voice rang again. Hearing this sentence, the little beggar reached into his arms and held the sharp knife tightly. His heart was stirring, not because he could kill a little girl with this knife, but because he was afraid that if he could not kill the other person and was caught by the other person's adults, he would be unable to escape and die.
