Chapter 950 Sheep in the Rain (9)(1/2)
Latest website: ——Being covered over the mouth and nose by an era, strangling the voice, and suffocating to death, is it considered homicide?
Su Mingan raised his head. The sky was gray and heavy rain was falling on the world, as if it was swallowing up the world.
"Boom--!"
He saw the dilapidated buildings, the bricks and stones tumbling down like sand towers blown away by the wind, and the residents fleeing in panic, without having time to take anything with them.
The earth was shaking, the buildings were collapsing, and everything was crushed under the rocks. He lowered the little girl's head, not letting her see this scene.
When everything returned to silence, there was only the sound of heavy rain in my ears, and it was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing.
Afterwards, people's cries of grief rose.
"——My home! My home!!"
"——My things are still in there, my money, my notebook..."
"--Mommy mommy……"
The screams kept coming one after another. The only property they had was this unfinished building. Now that the building collapsed, it was equivalent to depriving them of everything.
People shouted, lamented, cried, and vented. No one cared that an old woman died in the building, and no one cared about the justice she asked for. They only knew that everything was gone, gone.
How should they survive when the last inch of the roof covering their bodies is overturned?
Su Mingan touched the little girl's head and slowly placed her on the ground.
The heavy rain fell on her disheveled black hair, with strands of water falling downwards. Her eyes were still blank, as if she didn't understand why the building collapsed, and she didn't understand the sad look in her grandma's last look at her. She was wet.
The dripping hair hung sticky on her neck, and the rain slid down her face.
She looked around, trying to find anyone she knew, even one person. But all she could see were the sad expressions of strangers, and nothing else.
"Mother?"
She hugged the little bear and tried to call.
——The hard-working and beautiful woman had died in the masonry five years ago.
So, no one responded to her.
"dad?"
She looked around with blank eyes.
——The upright and simple man has fallen asleep in the blood-stained closet.
So, no one responded to her.
Her eyes became a little anxious, her fingers tightened on the bear in her arms, and her whole body shivered with cold.
"……grandmother?"
She raised her head and looked at the overwhelming rain, her voice choked with sobs.
——The old man who wanted a response had disappeared into the cold rain.
So, no one responded to her.
The body trembled slightly and shivered.
The call floated in the wet air, like a wisp of smoke, quickly dissipating.
She didn't understand what the heavy rain had brought and what it had taken away. She was still young and didn't understand what the world was like and what she was fighting against. She could only shout over and over again, trying to find the most familiar place.
Because grandma once told her that as long as she calls grandma loudly, everything will be fine.
...but why.
Now she's shouting loudly but can't see them?
Why is there nothing but the heavy gray rain in front of me? A few days ago, they were sitting together for dinner, and they talked about curing her heart disease, and the family lived happily. But why - this high-rise building suddenly collapsed
Already?
Su Mingan squatted down, slid his fingers across her somewhat broken cheeks, and wiped her face clean.
He just wanted to take back his hand, but his wrist was held tightly. The young girl looked at him with confused and sad eyes. She didn't seem to realize that she had no relatives, but subconsciously grabbed the last straw and didn't want to let go.
he.
"Big brother...?" the girl called tentatively.
There was no response to her previous calls, her voice was trembling, and her fingers were cold due to the low temperature.
Su Ming'an responded to her gaze and whispered "hmm".
——So, in the complete silence, someone finally responded to the girl.
When a sheep gets wet in the rain, the wool will absorb water and gain weight, causing it to fall to the ground. So when the sky clears, you can see a pile of fallen sheep, covered in snow, covered in unsightly and filthy rainwater.
People don't realize how the sheep are breathing and struggling when the heavy rain is heavy, and how helpless and unwilling they fall in the rain.
This era has become the heaviest rain and fog. If the wet plum rain is deep in the heart, mycelium will grow in every gap. When happiness becomes a must-do responsibility, no one can be happy.
Some people are unwilling to be a silent sheep, but their limbs are bound, their tongues are blocked, and their fur is stripped off by bottomless demands, leaving them without medical treatment and old age without support, until no one dares to speak out——
——Then Su Mingan's voice rang out.
"I'm here."
He answered the girl's call.
He held the girl's hand and held up the umbrella with his other hand.
With a "crash" sound, the bright red umbrella lifted up, like a drop of bright red blood in the rain.
Under the umbrella, the girl finally felt a moment of peace. Her body was heavy and soaked with rainwater, and it fell to the ground drop by drop along her ankles. She almost thought she would fall to the ground.
But when the red umbrella is propped up, the rain can no longer weigh her down, and the strong wind can no longer blow her down.
The heavy rain outside the umbrella was pouring, and the wind was harsh. The two people under the umbrella were extremely quiet. The girl silently held Su Mingan's warm hand, and the coldness and warmth were transferred inch by inch.
People were crying and shouting everywhere. They dug hard at the rocks, but nothing could be saved.
At this time, officials in round hats and guards gathered around and approached Su Ming'an.
"This matter is the responsibility of your City Protection Department." This is what the round-hatted official said.
Su Mingan turned his head.
"If you hadn't wanted to ask the government for an explanation, we wouldn't have come here to award Grandma Lin the Citizen Medal of Honor and tell her the truth, and she wouldn't have been irritated and worsened her condition." The round-hatted official pointed to the ruins: "
So many people have lost their houses, and you have a great responsibility. Who asked you to interfere in the government affairs of our city? I will report it to the Department of Urban Protection and criticize your behavior!"
"...?"
Su Mingan felt confused.
He was not wondering about the thick-skinnedness of officials, he was just wondering about what kind of examination system gave birth to such incompetent people, and what exactly corrupted them to this point.
But soon, he figured out that because there are "silent majority" everywhere in the world, as long as he is good at criticizing others, he can appear more "upright and noble".
"You call this honor?" Su Mingan said: "A son's last love for his mother, the sobriety that a white-haired old man would rather deceive himself but was forced to get back - do you call this the death certificate she paid for in such pain - honor?
"
"..." The corner of the official's mouth twitched.
"So what you are trying to say is that she should not participate in the rally, nor should she ask for an explanation from the government. If she didn't have eyes to see and ears to hear, she wouldn't have known that she killed her son, and she wouldn't have fallen into this trap.
This ending...is it?" Su Mingan asked in a declarative tone.
The official's ruddy face twitched, and the corner of his mouth trembled for a moment, but he still said shamelessly: "If Grandma Lin didn't know the truth, it would be - the story of the heroic elderly citizens killing the mutants - wouldn't that be wonderful?
Is that so? Everyone has dignity, she will be an honorary citizen, this building will not collapse, and these residents will not be affected at all!"
…It’s all caused by your pursuit of the truth!
...If Grandma Lin had been kept in the dark, deaf and blind, waiting for her son to come back every day, things would never have reached this point!
Looking into his eyes, Su Mingan finally realized the deep-rooted darkness in this world. He thought that as long as he cured a black fog disease and allowed the patients to regain their health, the world would become full of vitality, but it turned out that the disease had long been rooted in people's hearts.
.
…
[——So, why do you want to pursue a TE (TRUE END) that makes everyone unhappy? 】
…
Su Mingan raised his head, and raindrops fell on his face.
There is no way to cure this disease unless it is uprooted and torn to pieces.
Dark clouds had covered every inch of the land, bitter rain enveloped the city, and he could not see the light.
"Ding dong."
The phone made a sound. Su Mingan picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Su Luoluo.
…
[Su Luoluo: Are you okay? 】
