Ling Chen didn't speak anymore. His fingers carefully traced every scratch or bruise on her face. Then he brought up the stream water with his hands and washed her cheeks. The pieces of mud were covered by the clear water.
The stream washed down, revealing the original milky white face. Ling Chen arranged her hair carefully, held her face, and said with a smile: "This is my Tiantian, she is so beautiful.
, when she grows up, she will definitely be a little beauty like your sister."
Tiantian looked into his eyes, nodded gently, arched her eyebrows, and smiled lightly. This was the first time that her brother washed her face. It was as warm as when her sister washed her face, and it also made her feel a little inexplicable.
Heartbeat.
Ling Chen looked down at her shoes and socks, which were half stained red by the dried blood. He held Tiantian in his arms and carefully took off the lovely snow-white shoes, causing Tiantian to cry out in pain.
Yin. The solidified blood made her shoes and socks stick together. You can imagine how much pain she had endured on her feet that night and during the past few days. Ling Chen's heart ached like needles... with such pain
Her thin body carried him all night, and her feet were completely worn out. That night, she used all her faith to accomplish something that was impossible.
What other reason does he have to selfishly seek death?
The white socks were stained with blood, which was so shocking that Ling Chen took a breath of air. After so many days, the wounds on her feet and socks had long been stuck together by the coagulated blood. Ling Chen held her gently.
Although he still dared not take off her socks, his chest kept rising and falling. After a long time, he put Tiantian down and said softly: "Tiantian, sit still and wait for me for a while."
Ling Chen didn't dare to go too far, so as not to panic Tiantian. There were all kinds of vegetation growing here. Soon, he found what he wanted around him. After working for a while, he already had a large piece of green in his hand.
He came to Tiantian and put down the blades of grass. Then he squatted down and carefully rolled up Tiantian's two socks bit by bit.
"Brother...I..." Tiantian knew what he was going to do, and his whole body tensed up nervously.
He kept rolling the socks until they were close to the blood marks. Ling Chen was unwilling to roll them any further, otherwise he would injure the wound. He held Tiantian's two little feet, relaxed his hands, and massaged them gently, then suddenly smiled and said
: "Tiantian, if I ask you a question, you have to think about it carefully and then answer it seriously?"
Tiantian became curious: "Ah? What's the problem?"
Ling Chen thought for a while and said, "Four people were playing mahjong in the house. Then the police came, but they took away five people. Why is this?"
"Four people...policemen...five people..." Tiantian began to think seriously, and then said weakly: "Is there one person...hiding?"
"No," Ling Chen shook his head, and then said with a look on his face: "It's four people playing mahjong, and the person they are playing is called mahjong!"
Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. At this moment, Ling Chen gently pressed his hands on Tiantian's feet and at the same time used precise force to pull off the two blood-stained socks in an instant.
"ah!!!"
The skin and flesh had become knotted with the socks. This move undoubtedly tore open the wounds on Tiantian's feet. The sudden severe pain made Tiantian scream and tears burst out. Ling Chen quickly held Tiantian in his arms.
, hugged her cheek to her chest, and said heartbrokenly and hastily: "If you don't cry every day, it only hurts for a little while, and you will be fine soon, just for a little while..."
The wound was torn open, and bloodstains immediately flowed out from Tiantian's feet. But if he didn't do this, the flesh and socks would become tighter and tighter, and the consequences would be much more serious. The pain was on Tiantian's feet, and it was also painful on him.
Holding Tiantian in his heart, he felt the soreness in his heart and nose... He would never forget that the pain he suffered every day was all for him.
Tiantian's body stopped shaking, her eyes filled with tears, but she no longer screamed, but stretched her legs tightly, nodding so obediently in Ling Chen's arms: "Brother... I... am not afraid of pain...
Brother woke up, it hurts a little bit, but I’m not afraid at all..."
Ling Chen suppressed the water droplets for a long time, and finally they fell from his eyes, hitting Tiantian's back silently.
The cool stream flowed through Tiantian's feet, cleaning the wounds and blood stains. The two little feet were quickly washed in Lingchen's hands, white and tender, but the bruises were shocking.
She took the blade of grass into her mouth, chewed it carefully, then leaned down and applied it bit by bit to the wound that had started to stop bleeding. She didn't cry out in pain every day, and silently looked at her brother who was carefully holding her foot.
The eyes that were as bright as rhinestones were full of haziness and attachment.
Green herbs covered Tiantian's two little feet, and then they were torn off by Ling Chen from his clothes, and the clean cloth strips were gently wrapped several times. He could no longer bear to let Tiantian's feet touch the ground, so he carried Tiantian on his back.
, walked forward. He had to spend his whole life repaying the day and night she carried him.
There was an unpleasant fishy smell all over his body, and both his clothes and body were dirty and messy, but this stream was obviously not a place for bathing. He carried Tiantian on his back and walked forward step by step, looking for a place where he could take a bath.
A place to eat.
"Brother, where are we going?" Tiantian lay on Ling Chen's back and asked softly. The smell coming from Ling Chen was particularly pungent, but her expression was so attached and enjoyable.
Where to go... Ling Chen doesn't know. Before his physical strength is fully restored, Jinghua can no longer go back. If Ruoruo is gone and their home is destroyed, where can he and Tiantian go?
Ling Chen paused in his steps, Shui Ruo's smile appeared in his mind, and the memory returned to the past that seemed far away, yet seemed like just yesterday.
How wonderful it would be if time could stay at that time forever... Carefree, carefree, just looking at her, the whole world is so dazzling...
"Let's go back to Zhongzhou." Ling Chen stopped and murmured unconsciously.
"Zhongzhou? Where is that place?" Tiantian raised his head and asked softly.
"This is the place where Ruoruo and I met...and watched her grow up..."
…………………………………………………………………………
Two days later.
Zhongzhou Province is named because it is located in the most central location of the Huaxia Kingdom. It is about 1,200 kilometers away from Jinghua City. It has obvious seasonal characteristics all year round. The provincial capital is Zhongzhou City, which is located in the middle of Zhongzhou.
To the south of the city, it is close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, known as the "City of Paradise" in China.
The temperature in Zhongzhou City is significantly higher than that in Jinghua. Especially at noon, the scorching sun bakes the earth, constantly causing pedestrians to whisper curses about the climate.
This is the suburban area in the north of Zhongzhou City. There are no gorgeous and eye-catching buildings here. The side-by-side residential buildings have single and old colors. There are very few pedestrians, and they are all in a hurry. It is quite far away from the city center.
Most of the people living here live at the bottom of society and are struggling to make ends meet all day long.
At the corner of an ordinary street, a man wearing a coarse shirt appeared. His hair was a little messy and half of his face was covered, but he could still tell that he was a very young man. He stood there, looking ahead in a daze.
...Although there is really nothing that attracts much attention here. On his back, he is carrying a girl in her early ten years, who is also wearing plain-colored clothes. Their outfits look a bit heavy in such weather.
, occasionally when pedestrians pass by, they will look at them one more time, and then hurriedly walk away.
From Beijing to Zhongzhou.
The same route, the same method, the same forced by the Long family... or this place...
Everything was so similar, so similar that he couldn't help but want to cry.
…………………………
"Big brother! Big brother, wake up quickly. You will get burned if you lie on the ground like this. Big brother..."
"Brother, are you sick? Can you stand up? It will be very hot lying on the ground like this... Ah, it's okay, my father and mother will be here soon. They will help big brother, by the way, I
Dad is a doctor, so he will definitely make my elder brother better."
"I don't have water...is this okay? It's very cold and sweet...does it taste good? If it tastes good, just drink it all. If you still want to drink it, I'll ask my parents to buy it later."
…………………………
Ling Chen's heart and eyes were violently turbulent, and the sound that he would never forget until his death hit his heart like surging waves... That year, it was at the place where he stood that he met
The girl who completely entered his life. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed. He appears here again... but he can no longer see her smile and hear her angelic voice.
From that place back then, just like before, he jumped on the train to Zhongzhou with Tiantian in his arms, jumped off at the same place, and came to the place he came to back then... Everything was interrupted here. What he hoped for extravagantly,
After all, it will never happen again. That beautiful encounter will only happen once in a lifetime. Before going to Jinghua, he and Shui Ruo agreed to come back immediately after their illness was cured, because this was their home, and they kept it.
They had so many beautiful memories. In Jinghua, Zhongzhou was always the place he and Shui Ruo mentioned most, planning the date of "going home" again and again, and what they would do after returning. But in the end...but...
"elder brother……"
Feeling Ling Chen's heartbeat suddenly becoming chaotic, Tiantian raised his head and looked at him worriedly.
Ling Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just remembered the time when I met Ruoruo."
