Next to the collapsed gray wooden telephone pole, a short gray dome loft was covered with a thick layer of white snow.
The broken wall, under the snow, seemed like it would collapse in the next second.
Winter is here, and it snows heavily for several days in a row.
As a wanderer in a capitalist country, I usually try my best to stay alive, but the visit of the terrible snowstorm makes it even worse.
In a small room, lying on a broken bed, was a skinny ten-year-old boy.
His body was covered with a tattered thin quilt, his face was pale, and he looked extremely weak, as if he had fallen ill and was in a coma, motionless.
If his chest wasn't still heaving, he might have been regarded as a corpse.
——
There was a little girl standing next to the bed, the same age as the boy.
Wearing patched old clothes and faded cotton-padded jacket.
He has thin white hair tied into a ponytail. He looks a little thin, has a sallow complexion and is malnourished.
But compared with the boy on the bed, he looks much healthier.
Her name is White Bird, the boy's sister.
The brother and sister have been dependent on each other since childhood and support each other.
Now, Shiratiao has encountered a problem, and his brother, who is the mainstay, has finally collapsed from exhaustion.
But this is normal. My brother has been working too hard for a long time, and most of the food he brought back when he went out was given to himself.
Although Shiratiao offered many times to go out and help, she was kept at home on the grounds that "it's dangerous outside, girls shouldn't go out."
Shiratori is not a child who likes to cause trouble. Of course he knows that his brother is not joking.
The situation of girls in slums has always been dangerous.
——Both adults and young girls.
Because you never know how scum the men here can be.
Not to mention...
Many girls have disappeared recently.
My brother said it was because of human traffickers and emphasized again that Bai Niao should not go out.
However, now my brother collapsed from exhaustion, was extremely weak, and was dying.
As a younger sister, if I don't think of something to do, I'm afraid I will watch my brother leave me.
【Can't be like this, can't be like this...】
【Something must be done...】
【I can't lose my brother...】
In the end, Shiratori made a decision, even though his brother emphasized it many times.
But in order to break the deadlock, she finally chose to go out.
——
——
——
When the boy woke up, he found that the white bird was not at home.
"sister……"
He shouted several times in a hoarse voice.
But there was no response.
The keen boy realized something was wrong at once, and forced his weak body to get out of bed and look for it.
Finally, I searched around the house several times, but my sister was nowhere to be seen.
——
——
——
Today is my brother's day. It should have been a day for the person involved to spend a happy day. Unfortunately, God has no eyes to see and let my brother fall on such a day.
If God is really a person, then he must be a scumbag.
Shiratori really thinks so.
She is an atheist. If gods really exist, their only value is to prove how disgusting they are from above.
——
After all, there is no hope in such illusory things as gods.
Whether the elder brother can have a healthy future or not can only be held in the hands of the younger sister.
Because she is the sister and he is the brother.
[We are the only family members who join the group to keep warm.]
——
White Bird wants to get some food to take home, preferably very nutritious food.
I believe that my brother will definitely regain his health after eating it.
With this thought, she left the slum and went to the business district.
It stands to reason that beggars cannot enter prosperous commercial streets.
Because their image will affect the appearance of the city.
But fortunately, the snow was unusually heavy today, and there were very few police officers on patrol.
Therefore, White Bird easily came to a prosperous world that was incompatible with itself.
While avoiding the patrol team, he begged along the road.
However, the heavy snow falling all over the sky does not only have benefits.
Although the heavy snow reduced the number of patrol police, it also reduced the number of pedestrians on the road.
Therefore, even though she begged for a long time, despite the terrible erosion of the cold wind, her broken bowl was still empty.
——It seems that even if you pay, you may not be rewarded.
In this way, the hungry white bird stayed until dusk.
It's getting dark soon, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid it will be too late.
But what if we just go back empty-handed? What should I do with my brother on the bed?
The girl hesitated for only a moment, and then made a decision quickly.
Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer.
You have to find something to eat.
——
When passing a villa, Bai Niao smelled a scent.
Looking over, I saw that the family's door was wide open, facing the living room.
There is a round table in the middle of the living room, with a turkey as big as a basin placed on it, plus a lot of delicious food.
There is no one around the round table, indicating that the people in the room are still in the arrangement stage.
The white birds salivated just looking at the food.
She hesitated a little, but finally swallowed her saliva and walked towards the family.
——
"Stop, you fucking stop!!!!!!"
Behind him, the male owner of the villa was running as fast as he could with a broom.
He was very angry because the wonderful reunion dinner was ruined by a homeless kid who appeared out of nowhere.
This almost ruined his day's work.
He cursed and chased after her.
The girl in front was panting and running wildly.
Although she has tried very hard, how can her thin and weak body be a match for an adult?
No, the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and not long after they ran, the male host chased after them.
When the white bird saw this, he threw the turkey in his arms directly into the trash can on the roadside.
Then, she was thrown to the ground by the man.
Immediately afterwards...
"**m!!!! Little bastard!!!!"
Naturally, a bout of punching and kicking was inevitable.
The man hit the girl with a broomstick as hard as he could, and the girl kept curling up, huddled on the ground like a shrimp.
"Crack!!!!"
In the end, the stick was broken, but the man was still angry.
He picked up the girl's collar with one hand and lifted her up like a chicken.
"Crack!!!"
Two big slaps on the face, followed by a few hard punches.
After the girl's nose was smashed and a lot of nosebleeds came out.
Then he threw it to the ground hard, kicked it a few times, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, he walked towards the trash can and took out the turkey inside.
At this time, the turkey meat was stained with the stench of garbage liquid and was inedible. The man looked disgusted.
The man was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to throw him to the ground as if to vent his anger, then cursed and left.
——
When the man left, he could only consider himself unlucky.
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, the girl just felt lucky.
She used all her strength to get up from the ground.
First there was a burst of tinnitus and dizziness.
I can’t seem to hear in my ears. Am I deaf? Or is it just temporary deafness?
Shiratiao didn't know and didn't bother to think about it anymore.
She cares more about the hard-earned food than this.
