Chapter 48 Encounter
I don’t know how long I sat there, but Manhua sat on the cold floor against the bed legs for a long time, so long that her legs were almost numb.
Finally, she was the only one left.
Manhua looked back at the boy who had lost any breath on the bed. There seemed to be something missing in his cold eyes, and he felt even more indifferent than before. He stood up and left the room without hesitation.
After about an hour, Manhua came back with some dust on her body. She came to the bed, carried her little brother's body on her back, and went outside, putting him on the rocking chair she usually likes to make.
At this time, all the corpses on the ground were cleaned up, and a big pit was dug in the yard, and the corpses were neatly piled together, and the surroundings were filled with firewood. Manhua took out a box of kerosene and poured all the oil on the firewood and corpses, and finally lit a fire. The raging fire immediately swallowed all the corpses and made crackling sounds in the fire.
Manhua turned around and walked to the rocking chair with a torch, carried his younger brother on his back again, and left here.
Manhua carried his little brother's body and went to the riverside. A bamboo raft was parked by the river, and some wild flowers and weeds were decorated around him. Manhua inserted the torch on the ground, placed his little brother's body on the bamboo raft, and then pushed the bamboo raft to the center of the river.
"Brother, let's go all the way, and we will be siblings in the next life!"
After saying that, Manhua picked up the torch on the ground and threw it hard towards the bamboo raft in the middle of the river. In an instant, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire became more and more fierce. In the end, the entire bamboo raft was submerged in the fire.
Manhua looked at the middle of the river, and a tear fell from his right eye. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his face, and watched the fire burn out the last bit, and the whole bamboo crust finally sank into the river, and he and I were buried in the depths of the river forever.
When I returned to the yard, the fire in the yard continued. Seeing that the fire was getting smaller, Manhua added a lot of firewood, and the fire suddenly started to ignite again. The air was mixed with a pungent smell, which was unbearable.
By the time the fire was burned out and everything turned into ashes, it was already dark, and Manhua began to fill the soil into the pit, burying everything underground without leaving any trace.
After doing all this, Manhua dragged her tired body into the room, lay on the bed where her younger brother was sleeping, turned over and hugged the quilt covered by her younger brother in his arms. The quilt still had the breath of his younger brother, as if he was still by her side at the moment, and she was not alone.
But dreams are dreams after all, and they always wake up. When they wake up, the dream ends. What is in front of them is the fact. Manhua looked at the house that she had lived in for fifteen years. Every grass, every brick and tile here is a little bit by bit of memories of her and her younger brother. This place is her most precious memory, so she will never allow any to come here to destroy the memory of this beautiful place, nor will anyone allow her to disturb the home where she lives with her younger brother.
Manhua turned around and walked out of the yard, then stopped and took out a compass from his arms. The difference between this compass and other compass is that every square and every word in Manhua's hand can move.
Manhua gently moved several grids in the compass a few times, and the yard in front of him suddenly changed amazingly. The land under his feet shaking, and a gap appeared on the ground around the yard. Then the whole yard began to sink. In about three minutes, the movement stopped and the yard in front of him also disappeared.
The former yard is now covered with bushes and several big trees, and there is no trace of the original one. No one would have thought that there would be a house hidden under the ground.
Manhua put away the compass and turned around and left here. She once thought she would live with me here all the time, and she would not leave unless I wanted to leave. But now, me is no longer here, and she still lives alone after all.
I think that only by finding something can she make her bored life continue.
Manhua once again set foot on this big city with bright lights and wine. The prosperity around her will indeed make people lose themselves, but Manhua is different. In her opinion, these are not as comfortable as the leisurely clouds and wild cranes.
The more I walk in the prosperous city center, the more I feel that I am out of place with everything around me, and my beautiful brows can't help but frown slightly.
And at this moment, a woman's scream came from the front, and the crowd began to riot. "Robbery! Robbery!"
A thin but tall man in black was running in the crowd, and no one came forward to help behind him except for an aunt in her forties or fifties chasing him.
Manhua watched the aunt chase with difficulty, and her feet were unstable, and she pounced on the ground, which hurt. When the man was holding a wallet in his hand, he turned Manhua back to the side with a fierce look, shouting.
"Get out of here, don't block my way."
Manhua frowned slightly, and looked at the aunt who had climbed up on the ground and had bleeding on her knees. She turned around and looked at the escaped figure, her eyes trembled, and she immediately chased after her.
"Stop! Don't run!"
When An's mother saw a girl chasing the robber, she immediately shouted worriedly, "Girl, be careful! Stop chasing her!"
An's mother wanted to continue chasing, but soon the two people disappeared into the crowd. She couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked for them. She stood there and didn't know what to do.
Manhua chased the man and came to an alley with no people. The man seemed to be tired of running away. He saw that there was a woman chasing him behind him, so he stopped and turned to look at Manhua, holding a knife in his hand.
"My little girl, don't want to live anymore, right? You dare to take care of my affairs!"
"Leave the things I snatched, and I will let you go!"
The man smiled disdainfully and said, "I'm not a little angry. I really don't want to live anymore! Get out! I don't have time to pay attention to you."
The man said with a smug look and turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he was kicked hard behind his back, and he staggered and almost threw himself to the ground. The man was angry and took out a knife and waved it towards Manhua.
"My little girl, I've taken your life!"
The moment the knife stabbed, Manhua grabbed his wrist, and the force was very strong. The man was in pain. Manhua instantly took the knife from his hand and stabbed it on his thigh with one knife, almost stabbing the entire blade in. "Who is killing whose life now?"
"Ah! Give me your life! Give me your life!" The man immediately twisted his face and begged for mercy in pain. How could he think that this weak-looking woman was so powerful and ruthless.
"Aren't you planning to hand it over?"
Manhua said coldly. After hearing this, the man immediately took out a red wallet from the inner bag of his clothes and handed it to Manhua with trembling hands. Manhua picked up the wallet and looked at the man. The man immediately moved back a few steps in fear, not daring to look at Manhua again.
With his wallet, Manhua left here and came to the place just now. He saw where the aunt was still there, so he walked over.
"Auntie, is this your wallet?"
When An heard the sound, his mother turned around and looked at the girl standing in front of her, then looked at the wallet in surprise, which was her wallet.
"That's right! This is my wallet! Girl, thank you really!" An's mother took the wallet gratefully, but did not open the wallet to check. Instead, she looked at the girl in front of her and said worriedly, "Girl, you just said that your behavior is really too dangerous. How can you, a girl, be worth a gangster? You said that if you are injured, what should you do?"
"I'm fine, aunt, you see a lot of things!"
An’s mother opened her wallet and took a look, “Not many! Nothing! All are here!”
At this time, Manhua's gaze fell on An's mother's knees, "Auntie, you're bleeding, I'll take you to the hospital for bandage."
An's mother glanced at her knees, then smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, aunt can bandage herself when she gets home."
"Is it really OK?"
"It's really OK. My aunt's house is not far away. My aunt's son is still a doctor. My aunt can bandage this little injury by herself. Girl, you are such a kind child. But in the future, you still have to pay attention to safety. Don't do this kind of thing anymore!"
"But aunt, have you been chasing that person at all costs just now? You are not afraid at such an old age. Can I be afraid as a young man? Speaking of which, aunt, you are the courageous!"
Upon hearing this, An's mother suddenly felt embarrassed and smiled and said, "You child, you are really good at speaking. What's your name?"
"My name is Manhua!"
"Manhua? This is a good name!"
"Auntie, since you're fine, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have something to do."
An's mother quickly said, "Then go and do your own business quickly, thank you!"
"Goodbye Aunt!" Manhua nodded, turned around and left.
Looking at Manhua's leaving figure, it took a long time before An's mother retracted her gaze, "Oh, what a good child, she is good-looking, can speak, and has bravery. She is such a good child!"
In the evening, when An Junhao got home from get off work, he saw An’s mother sitting on the sofa watching TV. “Mom, I’m back!”
"I'm back, I'm working overtime again today. Have you eaten?" An's mother asked, putting down the remote control in her hand.
"I've eaten it. Why haven't you been sleeping yet after mom?"
"I'm old and can't sleep. I can watch TV. There is still chicken soup in the pot, but it's still hot. I'll serve it for you all night." As she said that, An's mother stood up and limped towards the kitchen.
"Mom? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your legs?" An Junhao immediately stepped forward and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I just fell on the road when I was buying vegetables."
"Why did you fall? Where did you fall? Is it serious?" An Junhao said as he was about to check An's mother's legs, but An's mother stopped him.
"Oh, I'm fine, I just have a little skin on my knees and I've already applied medicine!"
"Is it really okay?" An Junhao asked worriedly.
"It's really okay. What will I lie to you? I'll serve you chicken soup!"
"No need, mom, you're injured. You'd better sit there, or I'll help you back to your room to rest."
"No, no! Doctor, you are saving her! Save her!" The man almost collapsed and cried, struggling to climb over. The nurse stopped him immediately.
"Don't do this, your wound has not been treated yet."
"My wife and children are gone, so why should I care if there is any wound?"
An Junhao looked at him helplessly and wanted to say something comforting, but now nothing is useful. As a doctor, he is used to life and death, and life and death have become a little indifferent to him.
"Wife! Wife! Ah!" The man grabbed the woman's hand and cried loudly, and his head hit the ground with his head. Because of his heartache, he chose this method.
"Don't do this!" The nurse hurried over and hugged his head to prevent him from hurting him.
At this moment, a cold voice came, "If I say I can save the child in your wife's belly."
Hearing the voice, the man raised his head and looked shocked. An Junhao turned around and watched a woman in an off-white coat walk over. The woman had long hair and fair skin without makeup. An Junhao was a little confused for a moment.
"What did you say! Can you save my wife?"
Manhua glanced at the man and said, "Your wife is dead, but the child in your wife's belly may be saved!"
"What do you mean..." An Junhao looked at the woman in front of him in shock. He naturally understood what this woman meant, but for so long, the child in his belly might have lost his breath.
Manhua looked at An Junhao and raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You are a doctor, don't you know what I mean?"
