After re-counting the supplies displayed in the room, Li Fugui lay on the sofa and slept for a while.
It was evening when I woke up again, and the afterglow outside the window reflected in the house.
Li Fugui took the hammer and went out, preparing to complete the last item of the plan: bringing back his parents' ashes.
People may live by just one thought.
In his previous life, Li Fugui went to the cemetery where his parents were buried and wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
But before Li Fugui arrived at the cemetery, he learned that the cemetery had already become a battlefield between humans and insects.
From a distance, you can see countless cannonballs leaping, the firelight leaping like stars, and countless corpses thrown into the sky, including insects and humans.
The ground is covered with devastation, the tombstones in the cemetery have long been damaged, and even the land has been turned over by shells and insects. It is impossible to find the graves of my parents.
This incident became a knot in Li Fugui's heart.
By the time we arrived in front of the cemetery, it was completely dark, and the tombstones lining the dark cemetery were like ghostly shadows.
"Hello." Li Fugui took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man lying in the chair.
"Ahem!" The old man coughed twice, straightened up and took a breath before taking the cigarette handed out by Li Fugui, "Young man entering the tomb?"
"Yeah." Li Fugui said, and handed out a few red banknotes from his hand.
The old man looked Li Fugui up and down, then waved his hand to refuse: "I am an old man at this age, why do you need money?"
"Young man has a filial piety and can still come to see it, unlike some white-eyed wolves who may never come to see it once in their lifetime." The old man said, taking out a bunch of yellow rusty keys and opening the iron door.
"Thank you." Li Fugui expressed his gratitude slightly, pushed open the iron gate and walked towards the cemetery.
The cemetery is huge and contains the dead of the entire city. There are very few lights in the cemetery. There are only a few scattered lights sitting among the intricate tombstones. Even if you are familiar with them, you will get lost if you are not careful.
Using the light of his mobile phone, Li Fugui spent a lot of time finding his parents' tombstones.
Putting away his cell phone, Li Fugui leaned against his parents' tombstones.
Li Fugui thought he could say a lot, but in fact, he also had a lot to say to them in his heart.
All the things I experienced in those dark ages, surviving countless dangers, falling into the abyss countless times, the necessity to survive, and the excitement of opportunities.
But all of this was once again rendered speechless at this moment.
A breeze blowing from an unknown place in the distance, carrying the slight fragrance of flowers, gently caressed Li Fugui's shoulders.
After an unknown amount of time, the chirping of insects, interrupted by the arrival, started to sound again in the grass, and it was dark and empty.
"Dad, Mom." Li Fugui stood up again and looked at the faded photo on the tombstone, "It's time to take you home."
In the past few days, Li Fugui exercised his body whenever he had time. Although his physical strength was still very bad, it was enough for work.
Broken marble splashed and dust flew. Li Fugui took a break before completely opening the tombstone.
"Huh? What is this?" Li Fugui looked at an unknown scroll placed with the urn, feeling a little confused.
Because in Li Fugui's memory, he did not bury anything with his parents.
There was a touch of gentleness in my hand, and it felt a bit like the skin of some kind of animal, but I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.
Li Fugui opened the scroll, and there was a picture of ravines and ravines carved on it. If he looked carefully, he could see the vague outlines of some people.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Fugui didn't understand what it was, so he had to roll it up again and stuff it into his pocket.
Picking up the urn of his parents, Li Fugui wrapped it in a layer of gauze and put it into the bag he brought.
When he returned to the cemetery again, the old man had already entered the hut, and some mixed sounds could be heard vaguely.
"Yesterday...sacrifice...in memory of..."
"I'll wait and close the door." The old man seemed to have heard Li Fugui come out and said inside the house.
Li Fugui tightened the strap of his bag and looked at the watch on his right hand. It showed that it was already 8:10 pm.
Feeling the feeling of hunger in his belly, Li Fugui thought about it and decided to find a roadside stall to eat something.
After all, when darkness comes, there will be no chance to eat these delicacies.
Now that the darkness has not come and things are basically perfect, it doesn't hurt to have some delicious food.
As the lights gradually brightened, roadside stalls appeared on both sides of the road. Many couples were walking on the road, smiling happily.
Li Fugui took a look and saw many vaguely remembered aromas coming from him. He didn't know what to buy for a while. In the end, he found a roadside stall and ordered a bowl of fried noodles. The stall owner was a woman who looked good-looking.
Li Fugui ate fried noodles and watched a man find the stall owner. The two said something, and then walked to the alley aside, and there was a faint sound.
After a while, the man walked out with a satisfied smile, and the woman followed him in embarrassment. She lifted up her messy hair as if nothing had happened, put on a smile and went back to business.
Li Fugui finished the fried noodles in silence, put a red note under the bowl and prepared to get up and leave.
However, when Li Fugui stood up, he bumped into a big man with tattoos all over his body.
Looking up, he saw a pair of copper bell-like eyes staring at him fiercely.
"Sorry." Li Fugui said softly and prepared to leave. He had no intention of getting into a dispute with the big man, and there was no need to make a big deal out of something that could be solved by apologizing.
However, the big man obviously didn't want to let Li Fugui go, and blocked Li Fugui's way: "You haven't eaten, haven't you? You've eaten all the fried noodles into the dog's belly, haven't you? Louder!"
Li Fugui's eyes twitched, but he still followed the big man and said loudly: "I'm sorry!"
The big man seemed very satisfied with Li Fugui's performance. He lowered his head and looked at the bag on Li Fugui's waist: "What do you have in your bag? Bring it over and let me see."
The big man said, reaching for the bag on Li Fugui's waist, but was stopped by Li Fugui in mid-air.
"Hey, don't go too far." Li Fugui warned in a deep voice.
Li Fugui still didn't understand that the big man's goal from beginning to end was the bag around his waist.
The burly man regarded him as one of those second-rate idiots running around with cash!
"Hmph!" The big man snorted coldly, shook Li Fugui's hand away with all his strength, and reached out to grab the bag.
Although Li Fugui had been on guard for a long time, his strength was completely inferior to that of the big man. He staggered and was dragged over by the big man.
"What the hell is this? An urn?" The big man cursed when he saw the contents in the bag, and then threw it aside in disgust, "Why the hell are you carrying an urn with you? It makes me work in vain. !”
The backpack flew out of the big man's hand, slid in a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Li Fugui felt as if a bolt of lightning suddenly struck his chest, and a pair of ruthless hands pinched his heart.
"I'll give you a horse!"
Pong!
The big man froze in his tracks and glanced at the bloody hole in his chest with dull eyes. He seemed to have not realized what happened, and then fell to the ground.
The red blood slowly flowed out and soaked the ground.
"ah!!!"
The crowd suddenly became restless. Some people were frightened by the sudden fall of the big man, some were frightened by the sudden sound, and some people didn't know what happened and just followed the mechanical scream.
Under the restless sound of the crowd, Li Fugui put away his pistol, picked up his bag, picked up the bullet casings that fell on the ground, and then quickly disappeared into the alley.
"Hello? Is it... is it 110? I... I want to call the police!" A girl's hands trembled and her mobile phone almost fell to the ground.
The woman watched Li Fugui's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, and spat hard in the direction of the big man in the pool of blood. When she turned her head, she saw the red banknotes pressed under the bowl.
…
Li Fugui wandered around the city for a long time, and even passed by the door of his house once before disappearing where there was no surveillance and detouring back home through a trail.
There is only one day left, and as long as he survives this day, the police will have no time to take care of him anymore. When darkness falls one day later, everyone will be in danger, and the rules of the Sunshine Age will be broken.
Back home, Li Fugui sat on the sofa for a long time.
This was the first time Li Fugui took the initiative to kill someone. No matter what circumstances he killed before, he was forced to make a living and to survive.
But this time, Li Fugui took the initiative to kill someone.
Even though that person really deserves to die, even though that person caused the trouble first, even though that person's death will only do more good than harm.
However, that person did not threaten Li Fugui's life, and he would not be punished to death under the laws of the Sunshine Era.
But Li Fugui still took the initiative to kill him. Even after killing him, Li Fugui felt that he did not feel any guilt. He even felt that he had stepped on an ant to death.
Just because I wanted to kill him, I killed him.
Li Fugui stood up, walked into the bathroom, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Looking at my own eyes in the mirror, there is no emotion, no fluctuation, and no desire.
Li Fugui couldn't help but shuddered.
Like, an animal.
...
