Era 11042, the winter solstice on December 21st, covered with gray snow.
Two young children in ragged clothes were walking in the snow supporting each other, their eyes were dull and their dirty faces were red from the cold.
The young figure walked from the refugee area towards the street in the distance.
Bursts of biting cold wind blew by!
One of the children fell directly into the snow.
"Joseph (Eye of God), get up quickly."
Another child anxiously tried to pull Joseph up, but he was so hungry that he didn't have much strength at all and couldn't pull him up no matter what.
Joseph, who was lying on the ground, was trembling constantly. The exposed frostbite on his hands and feet had festered and turned faintly black due to erosion by the gray snow.
"Yao Xiu, I, I'm so cold, am I going to die?"
With red eyes, Joshua pulled Joseph with all his strength to the side of an abandoned roof, and said to Joseph in a tearful voice.
"You won't die. I'm going to find you something to eat right now. You wait for me."
Then Joshua ran towards the street alone, kowtowing to everyone who passed by and begging for a little food.
However, everyone who passed by just shook their heads and walked around without stopping.
On a tall building in the distance, a huge holographic image shows a man in gentleman's clothing giving an impassioned speech.
"Our beautiful home is about to be completed, and it will be our new paradise! For a better future, please abide by the latest policies of the empire! Don't believe any slander! The pain and fear we are suffering now are all caused by those despicable people
The enemy's conspiracy, they are afraid of our rise, bringing the seeds of disaster from the distant universe..."
Joshua huddled up and braved the cold wind, struggling to walk on the street. He stretched out his little hand pitifully, begging for money from those who walked by indifferently along the way.
Unfortunately, nothing was obtained from begging.
At this time, a drunk man came over and knocked Joshua to the ground!
He cursed drunkenly!
"You little bastard doesn't have eyes!"
As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his foot and was about to kick him.
At this time, a whistle sounded, and the drunk man was trembling, and he raised his head and looked over.
I saw a few soldiers walking over, led by an older captain who blew his whistle, pointed his finger at the drunkard and shouted.
"What are you doing!"
When the drunk man saw this, he turned around and ran away with fear on his face.
"Letov, he's just a beggar. Why do you care so much? Be careful of infectious diseases."
The soldier next to him saw the captain walking towards the young beggar and reminded him.
"What are you afraid of! I'm not living a good life."
Letov walked to Yossiu, who saw him getting up with difficulty. When he saw Letov and the others, although their young faces were very frightened and their eyes were full of timidity, he still bowed to Letov.
Thanks.
Letov reached out from his chest and took out a piece of dry bread and handed it to Joshua.
Joshua took it over in surprise and thanked Letov excitedly.
"Thanks!"
Then Joshua turned around and ran away.
"This bastard runs pretty fast, and I won't eat him." Letov said, blowing on his somewhat gray beard.
"Okay, he's just a beggar. What else can he expect? When he gets food, of course he has to find a place to hide and eat quickly. Captain, let's continue patrolling."
"Yeah!" Letov nodded slightly.
On the other hand, Yaoxiu ran back to the abandoned building excitedly and shouted.
"Joseph! I want something to eat..."
As a result, the voice stopped mid-shouting in shock. The abandoned building was empty under the eaves, and there was no one to be seen at all.
Joshua froze on the spot, with a look of extreme panic on his little face. He ran around and shouted.
"Joseph! Joseph! Where are you..."
"come out faster......"
...
In the gray goose-feather snow, a young figure ran alone in the snow, shouting in despair.
I don’t know how long I shouted, but Joshua was exhausted. His throat was hoarse and he couldn’t make a sound. He fell weakly to the ground, still holding the piece of dry bread in his arms.
Let the gray snowflakes fall on him, swallowing up the warmth in his body bit by bit.
Yaoxiu felt colder and colder, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
At this time, a blurry figure appeared in Yaoxiu's eyes, but Yaoxiu was too tired and couldn't help but close his eyes.
After a long time, Joshua suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and shouted.
"Joseph!"
"Wake up, brat."
A voice came from the side.
Joshua turned around and looked around, only to see Letov sitting aside, boiling nutritious soup. When he saw it was Letov, he cowered in fear.
Letov turned to look at the huddled Joshua and said.
"You are so timid, don't be afraid. I just picked you up because I felt sorry for you. If I really didn't care about you, you would have died long ago."
Hearing this, the uneasiness on Joshua's face softened a little.
"Drink it all."
Letov handed the cooked nutrition to Joshua.
Yaoxiu took it and was about to drink when he suddenly stopped.
"How about a brat?"
"Grandpa, can I leave some for Joseph to drink?" Joshua resisted the tempting aroma and extreme hunger, mustered up the courage to raise his head and asked.
When Letov heard Joshua calling his grandfather, his body trembled slightly.
He turned his head to the side and replied.
"Drink it, don't think about it Joseph, while you were in coma. I have already sent people to look for it, but no one was seen. If nothing happens, it must have been taken away by a wandering alien species."
Hearing this, Yuexiu's tears fell into the bowl drop by drop, and he drank heavily with tears in his eyes.
------------------------------------------
On the other side, Joseph felt as if he was going to die. His body felt hot and cold, as if he was in a world of ice and fire. He felt very uncomfortable. He tried his best to open his eyes and wake up, but he couldn't.
I don’t know how long it took, but Joseph half-opened his eyes in a daze.
He could faintly hear conversations.
"Why did you pick up such a sick boy? What's the use of such a weak body?"
"Do you think I'll be able to pick up this kid and come back after I'm full?"
"The young lady acted coquettishly in front of the mistress and insisted on bringing this boy back. In the end, the mistress couldn't resist her, so she took pity on her and brought this boy back. However, this boy's life was tough enough, and he actually did it.
I picked it up."
"Okay, stop talking about it. It will be bad if the lady hears it later. She will be in trouble if she complains to the mistress."
At this moment, along with a burst of crisp laughter and the sound of running footsteps, a petite and exquisite figure ran in.
"Miss."
Everyone in the room greeted him respectfully.
At this time, a milky sound sounded.
"How is big brother?"
"Miss, he is fine. He just needs to rest for a while."
"Very good."
As he said that, the figure ran towards the bed.
"Miss, dirty! Dirty! Don't get too close." The servants around him shouted hurriedly.
However, it still didn't stop.
At this moment, an innocent face appeared in front of Joseph's eyes.
"how are you feeling?"
"Well, it's much better. Did you save me?"
"Yeah! Brother, get well soon! I'm still waiting for you to play with me."
