Chapter 197: That brilliant but short-lived fire

Chu Xixi, who was already a mother, couldn't help but blush when she looked at the little girl wearing thin clothes on the screen.

Even though she knew that this was a story and a fiction, how could she remain indifferent because human hearts are made of flesh?

The short film continues.

The little girl in thin clothes continued to walk barefoot in the snow. She sat down in the corner of a house and curled up with her legs.

But she felt even colder. She squatted there, breathing heavily, her little face turned red from the cold.

But she didn't dare to go home because she didn't sell a match and didn't make any money, and her father would definitely beat her.

She picked up the match in her hand, her little face was full of frustration, but the scene at home appeared in her mind.

The alcoholic man was her father, but every time she went out to sell matches and sold less or no matches, she would always get beaten.

Moreover, it was as cold at home as on the street, and there was only a roof above their heads. Although the biggest cracks had been blocked with newspapers and rags, the wind could still come in.

Her little hands were almost stiff.

No matter how much you rub it, it won't work. After all, she wears too little and is barefoot.

The weather is too cold.

She looked down at the matches in her pocket and hesitated. Even a small match could give her some warmth. In the end, she couldn't help but reach out and pick up a match.

Look! The match was lit, and the fire was bright! She covered it with her frozen little hands.

At this time, it becomes a bright and warm flame, just like a burning candle.

The lens suddenly became beautiful, as if all the hunger and cold had disappeared. Although it could only emit a weak light, it looked so beautiful and gorgeous!

In the firelight, the little girl's face, which was red from the cold, showed an innocent smile.

In that warm light, the little girl seemed to have come to the big iron stove: it was an iron stove with a shiny brass body and round knobs. The fire burned so hotly, so warmly, and so beautifully!

Oops, what happened? Just as the little girl stretched out her frozen feet to warm them up, suddenly the fire went out! The iron stove also disappeared. She sat with only one in her hand.

A burned out match.

How I wish the match could burn a little longer, so that she could stretch out her little feet to keep warm.

How she wished the warmth could stay for a little longer, so she took out another match that she usually couldn't bear to use, rubbed it, and lit it. She just hoped to keep the only warmth, and the match glowed.

Already.

There was no big iron stove this time, but the firelight shone on the wall, so the illuminated wall became transparent like a piece of gauze. Through this wall, she seemed to be able to see everything in the room.

:

The montage took her to the room. It was a warm room where even with her feet closed she would not feel cold.

There was a table covered with white tablecloth in the room. The exquisite and elegant plates on the table were filled with various fruits, various delicacies, and steaming hot and fragrant roast duck.

The oily and fragrant roast duck made her swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.

Suddenly, the roast duck stood up staggeringly from the plate with a knife and fork on its back, and waddled towards the poor little girl. This childlike scene made Chu Xixi bear it.

I couldn't help but forget the little girl's tragic experience, and I couldn't help but smile.

But soon her smile froze, as if the cold snowy weather had frozen her smile.

Because at this moment the match went out again, and all she saw was still a cold, thick wall.

The roast duck that was about to come disappeared, which made the little girl anxious. She quickly took out another match and lit it again.

In the firelight, although there was no roast duck, she found that she was wearing a thick cotton jacket, thick gloves on her hands, a very warm hat on her head, and a nice-looking belt around her neck.

scarf.

By the way, there were also feet. She lowered her head and saw that although the big, ill-fitting shoes on her feet had not returned, she had put on a pair of nice-looking cotton boots.

My feet are not cold at all!

So warm, so warm.

She squinted her eyes happily, with a happy and sweet smile on her face.

But when I opened my eyes again, the hat, cotton-padded jacket, gloves, and scarf had all disappeared. When I looked down, the warm cotton boots were gone.

Because the match went out.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

Suddenly, bursts of sound came from a distance. She looked up and saw in the distant sky, a little light rose into the sky, and then exploded in the air, blooming into extremely gorgeous fireworks.

So beautiful!

Although her little face was red from the cold, it didn't affect her appreciation of the wonderful and brilliant fireworks, right?

ah!

Suddenly there were fireworks blooming in the sky, and there seemed to be a star streaking across the night sky.

"Who will die at this time?" the little girl said in surprise.

Grandma's kind voice came to mind: "When a star falls from the sky, someone on the ground will die, and his soul will fly to heaven."

"Grandma!" The little girl obviously thought of her grandma, the grandma she loved the most in the world, but grandma is no longer there!

Tears rolled in her eyes, and overflowed from her eyes. The temperature of her tears was as warm as her grandma's hands, crossing her face. They were the only thing that could bring her a little warmth on this cold night.



It's like she is the only grandma in this world who can bring her warmth.

But soon, the warmth cooled down, just like grandma, because grandma left.

This world has become so cold and cold for her.

She misses her grandma so much!

She took out another match and rubbed it against the wall, and the match ignited. Its flame illuminated everything around her. In the bright firelight, a kind and old face appeared.

That was grandma, the grandma who loved her the most.

The little girl saw her grandmother who loved her.

She is so bright, so soft, so kind, so loving.

"Grandma!" the little girl cried, "Oh, my grandma, just let me go with you! I understand that when this match goes out, you will disappear, just like that warm iron stove,

That fragrant roast duck and that warm cotton-padded jacket disappeared just like that!"

Grandma will definitely promise herself, because grandma has always loved her the most, right?

But the time was too short.

She was afraid that the match would go out soon and grandma would not be able to see it again.

So, she quickly lit all the remaining matches, because she was afraid that her grandma would disappear after the matches went out. These matches burned and emitted a huge and warm light, illuminating the surrounding area even brighter than during the day.
