Throughout the cold winter, two small figures could always be seen close to each other somewhere on the street corner.
On the street, there were fewer and fewer people walking through them, and they were always in a hurry. It was difficult for anyone to look back at the two children.
In the past, street children could be seen everywhere, but now there are only a handful of them. I don’t know where they went, and I don’t know if they can withstand this severe winter.
Curling up in the boy's arms, the girl is very well-behaved. In this cold street, the two children keep each other warm.
After the twelfth lunar month of winter, spring is approaching quietly.
After taking off the thick cotton-padded jacket, the little girl looked even more graceful.
"Xi'er is getting more and more beautiful," the little boy said.
The little girl lowered her head shyly, and then deliberately smeared some dirt on her face.
The little boy smiled and walked around the streets and alleys holding the little girl's hand.
"Brother, what is that?" the little girl asked, looking at the pastries in a newly opened shop.
Looking at the tempting pastry, the little boy swallowed.
"It's just a pancake that has changed its appearance." the little boy said.
Gulu~
The little girl's stomach rumbled.
Hearing this voice, the little girl lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Just wait for me here and I'll find you something to eat." The little boy said.
Looking at the little boy's running back, the little girl showed a sweet smile.
Squatting at the door of the shop, her big eyes kept looking at the pastries. The little girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
I don’t know how long it took, but just as the little girl looked around at the little boy, a man who looked to be in his thirties walked towards her.
"Little sister is looking for someone?" the man asked.
After glancing at the man, the little girl replied obediently: "Waiting for my brother."
"Oh, wait for my brother." The man said, "I know where your brother is. I will take you to find him."
The little girl looked a little wary, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother, he will be here in a minute, no need."
The man's eyes showed impatience, he glanced around, and then said: "Come with uncle, uncle will take you to eat delicious food."
The little girl took a few steps back and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness. I'm not hungry."
"Let's go you!"
The man reached out, grabbed the little girl and tried to drag her away.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Let me go." The little girl screamed.
Hearing the sound, the people around him just glanced here and then turned their heads.
"I don't want to eat delicious food. I have to wait for my brother. Uncle, please let me go." The little girl exclaimed.
The man was impatient and wanted to slap the little girl with his hands.
boom!
When the man's big hand was less than a few inches away from the little girl's face, a dull thud came from the back of the man's head.
The man immediately screamed and turned around, only to see a dirty little boy hitting him with a wooden stick.
Grabbing the wooden stick, the man became furious and suddenly danced towards the little boy.
When the little girl saw this, she subconsciously screamed, but she was decisive and took advantage of the man to hit the little boy. She broke away from the man's big hand and ran away.
Seeing the little girl break free, the little boy ran away quickly. However, he was worried that the man would chase the little girl, so he picked up a stone and threw it at the man's head.
The skills of smashing wild fruits that I have developed over the years were effective at this critical moment. The stone hit the man's face, causing him to scream again.
"You little bastard, I will kill you." The man yelled angrily.
He picked up the stick and chased after the little boy. ...
Outside the city gate, the little girl was hiding in a corner, waiting anxiously.
After waiting for a long time, a monkey-like figure jumped out from the side.
"Brother!" the little girl shouted in surprise.
"Walk!"
Pulling the little girl up, the two quickly disappeared into the messy grass.
By the creek, the little boy drank a few big gulps of water and lay on the rocks for a while before he could catch his breath.
"Brother, that bad guy didn't hit you, did he?" the little girl asked worriedly.
The little boy showed his front teeth and said proudly: "You don't even know who I am, how can he catch up with me?"
Hearing this, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"There have been too many bad guys in the city recently. I just saw Erya being dragged away by a bad guy a few days ago. Thanks to my cleverness and fast running," the little girl said.
"Well, that's right." The little boy also said: "Those bad guys are looking for stray little girls. You must be careful these days and follow me all the time."
The little girl nodded obediently.
"By the way Xi'er, I'll give you something delicious." The little boy suddenly said with a smile.
As he said that, he took out two pieces of candy from his pocket.
"Candy! Where did brother come from?" the little girl asked.
The little boy smiled proudly, peeled off a piece and fed it into the little girl's mouth, asking: "Is it delicious?"
The little girl nodded happily and said, "It's delicious! So sweet!"
The little boy smiled proudly and ate a piece himself.
Sitting by the stream, the two children played for a long time. Finally, after the little boy tried his best to catch two fish, he left with satisfaction.
"Let's eat grilled fish tonight."
From a distance, a little boy said proudly.
"Yeah, brother's grilled fish is the most delicious." The little girl said.
...
Since what happened before, the little boy was worried that the little girl would have an accident and be kidnapped, so the little boy stopped letting the little girl enter the city for the time being.
Although she was very reluctant, the little girl was sensible, and after some distress, she agreed.
Although she couldn't go into the city, the little girl didn't want to be idle. Whenever the little boy went out, she would sneak to the river to catch fish. Although most of the time she came back empty-handed, she enjoyed it. Occasionally she was lucky enough to catch one or two, which would keep her entertained for a long time.
After begging for a day, the little boy was exhausted every time he returned to the ruined temple. He didn't want the little girl to go hungry, so he would try his best to ask for charity from passers-by, or he would travel across the city in search of food.
Occasionally, the little boy would feel guilty if he came back empty-handed. But when he saw the fish soup in the broken earthen pot hanging in the ruined temple, the fatigue of the day would be gone.
Together with the little girl, the two ate happily and smiled sweetly.
"Brother, Xi'er can also help brother now." The little girl said proudly.
The boy pinched the little girl's cheek, not to mention how happy he was.
...
Spring has passed and hot summer has arrived.
As usual, the little girl leaned against the gate of the ruined temple and looked at the little boy's return road in the distance. She often waited for a whole day.
As night approached, the little boy still had not returned, and the little girl gradually became worried.
Suddenly, at this time, a strong wind blew over.
There was a creaking sound inside the ruined temple, and the little girl glanced at the statue subconsciously. At almost the same moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across, and the strong electric light illuminated the entire ruined temple, making the statue even more terrifying.
The little girl screamed in surprise, and quickly moved her body back. Only when there was no way to retreat, did the little girl stop in fear.
Her eyes kept looking around, and she was so frightened that the little girl's body trembled slightly.
boom!
It was also at this moment that a thunder shook the sky and the earth.
The little girl trembled suddenly and screamed in fright again.
"Brother, brother!"
The little girl shouted.
"Brother, come back quickly, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" the little girl said with a cry.
boom!
Another thunderbolt struck, and the little girl trembled violently again, tears bursting out of her eyes.
"Ohh Ohh ohh......"
The girl hugged her knees, huddled in the corner, and started crying.
Hua Hua Hua...
Not long after, it suddenly started pouring rain. The sound of raindrops hitting the ground and roof completely drowned out the little girl's cries.
Carefully sticking her head out and looking outside the temple door, the little girl's fearful mood was instantly replaced by worry.
The rain was so heavy that the little girl had never seen it before. It was like a large basin of water pouring down from the sky.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, the little girl felt very nervous.
"Brother, come back quickly!" the little girl said nervously.
The same sentence was spoken in a very different tone just now and now.
The little girl had begged in panic before due to extreme fear. Now the little girl prayed the same, but out of sheer worry.
Watching the pouring rain, the little girl kept praying in her heart.
I pray that the little boy will be safe and sound, and that the rain will stop soon.
Perhaps her prayer came true, but not long after, the rain suddenly stopped.
When the little girl saw this, she couldn't care less about anything else and immediately rushed out. The little girl was worried about the little boy more than anything else. She just wanted to find the little boy as soon as possible.
"Brother! Brother!"
As she ran, the little girl shouted loudly. On this quiet night just after the rainstorm, every word traveled far and wide.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came out in the mountains and fields, but the road was too slippery, and the little girl fell into a puddle on the roadside without noticing.
"Uuuuuuuuuah...Brother, save me, brother, save me!"
Far away, a little boy hiding in an abandoned village heard the little girl calling for help. He was so frightened that he rushed out and ran towards the little girl desperately.
"Xi'er, Xi'er!" The little boy shouted loudly: "Xi'er, where are you!"
The little boy was so anxious that he fell down several times but quickly got up again.
"Brother, brother!"
Hearing the little boy's call, the little girl quickly responded.
"Brother, save me, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" the little girl shouted loudly.
The little boy heard the sound and ran faster. The muddy water on the ground splashed all over the little boy's face.
After a while, the little boy came to the puddle where the little girl fell into.
The puddle was not big, but because the little girl was too delicate and the soil was slippery, she could not climb out of the puddle no matter how hard she struggled.
At this time, the little girl was covered in yellowish mud. She was struggling in the puddle and crying non-stop. It made the little boy feel very distressed.
"Xi'er, brother is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" the little boy quickly reassured.
As soon as she saw the little boy, the little girl suddenly cried even harder. The fear, worry and grievance in my heart poured out instantly with the appearance of the little boy.
