His eyes instantly turned gray, and the cold air crawled over his body as if it were alive. This made him shudder.
"Crunch!"
Just as a foot took a step forward, a slight sound was heard.
Lu Lei instantly knew that it was the sound of walking in the snow.
He bent down and touched his feet gently. It was indeed a bit cold.
Only then did he really see clearly. The surroundings were covered in gray, which intersected with the light blue sky to form a line from a distance.
Broken and bare branches can be vaguely seen around, and a thick layer of frost can still be seen on the branches.
"Why am I here?"
Lu Lei never expected that he would be here. He observed everything around him. It was so empty and boundless, and he felt particularly free.
The more freedom there is, the less freedom there is. For Lu Lei, he will be trapped here forever and will never be able to go back.
"Lu Lei, how is it here?"
At this moment a voice sounded beside him.
A boy with light blue skin didn't know when he appeared next to him. The boy was naked on his upper body and only wore a pair of white shorts on his lower body. He looked like he was enjoying the cold.
"It's not that bad either." Lu Lei hugged his arms tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth to hold back.
The little boy didn't seem to hear Lu Lei's voice, and still said to himself: "I have been growing up in the research institute since I was born, and I have never gone out in this life. I heard that there is a big mountain in the northeast of China. The ice and snow never melt. The heavy snow is like the sea, wrapping people tightly. It would be great if I could live there. This is my dream and the place I have pursued throughout my life."
However, Lu Lei was dissatisfied: "So what?"
The little boy opened his light blue eyes and looked at Lu Lei, and asked in confusion: "Lu Lei, don't you like it here?"
Lu Lei looked into the light blue eyes and saw the boy's innocence and cuteness in those eyes.
An ordinary person would definitely be impressed, but they knew that everything about the little boy was just a disguise.
"I have experienced the world you yearn for. Don't you feel cold? Our blood is hot, our hearts are beating, and we are not the only ones in this world. We should be warm, right?"
When Lu Lei said this, he pointed to the sky with his remaining arm.
A gap appeared in the sky with layers of dark clouds in the direction Lu Lei pointed at, and a meter of sunlight shone down from the gap. Falling on the pure white snow. The snow shimmered slightly white under the sunlight.
The little boy looked at the white light on the ground and knew that everything Lu Lei said was right.
Because from the bright light, a light green grass struggled to grow out of the cold snow. He looked at the sunshine above his head and smiled with life.
With the appearance of Xiaocao, the little boy's world also changed: "Was I wrong? Can you tell me what the real world is like?"
Lu Lei used his remaining arm to make a sharp stroke in the air.
As he stroked with all his strength, the whole world began to shatter, turning into pieces and falling one after another.
Then scenes appeared, like movie negatives, flying past their eyes.
The feeling of flying by is like rewinding what a person saw before death, and each scene appears in front of his eyes.
But these are not my own memories, nor the memories of a certain person, but the records of the entire world.
Lu Lei stretched out his hand and clicked on a certain clip, and the entire film stopped in mid-air just as Lu Lei did.
Instead, he opened this fragment like a book page.
The fragment in front of me is a wooden door. It is an ordinary wooden door that is no longer ordinary. There are no luxurious decorations on the wooden door, only children's graffiti.
The little boy walked slowly to the wooden door and looked at the graffiti on the wooden door. The graffiti could be clearly seen and was drawn on it with crayons.
The little boy saw this kind of graffiti for the first time. He touched it with his hands, feeling the child's mischief and the mood the child embellished.
It was painted with bright brushes, the beautiful home was wrapped in flowers, and the bright sunshine shone on the family of three, mom, dad, and myself. Everyone was happy.
I hope my home will always be like this. It is also his favorite and happiest moment in his life.
Lu Lei looked at the little boy indicating whether to open it, and the little boy nodded to him.
Lu Lei gently pushed the door open, and it was easily pushed open. The moment he pushed it open, a burst of laughter reached their ears.
There was laughter in the little boy's ears, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
Even Lu Lei looked at this scene infatuatedly. This was the happiness he longed for most in his life.
A family of three kept playing around at home with pillows, and the fluff in the pillows was floating all over the house, like snowflakes falling from the sky.
There is no coldness or loneliness in this snow, only laughter and warmth.
The little boy saw this scene. A line of tears slowly left his light blue eyes, and the tears fell on the ground and turned into ripples.
"Lu Lei, did you let me see this? Why does my heart hurt? This feeling is so strange! Why do I cry? Are those their parents? Why does he have parents? Why don't I? They where?"
This was the sentence that the little boy said the most. These words contained so many years of grievance and unwillingness.
He turned around and looked at Lu Lei with his light blue eyes: "Lu Lei, can you tell me where my parents are?"
Lu Lei didn't dare to look into the little boy's eyes. He had never seen his parents since he was a child, and the scene in front of him was the one he envied the most.
How he wished his parents were around, loving and caring for him.
He has been begging for food on the streets for as long as he can remember. If you can have a mouthful of food, you won’t have to go hungry all day long. I haven't worn any of the clothes on my body. In order to grow up quickly, he lived desperately.
Until he meets someone who can change his life. It was an old man, an old man with age spots all over his face. He took Lu Lei home and taught him how to study and read little by little. Until he could walk into school.
However, when he was very happy to tell the news to the old man, the old man passed away on that day.
At this time, Lu Lei realized that the old man had no children, no wife, no brothers and sisters in his life. He was alone from beginning to end.
The death of an old man leaves nothing behind, only their house and memories.
This time, Lu Lei once again realized that in order to survive, in order to survive. He started to go out to work.
He studies during the day and works at night.
Because of my part-time job at night, I often doze off during the day when I go to school.
In this way, his grades plummeted. But he didn't regret it at all. Because he knew what he had to do and had no choice.
