Chapter 28
028: Alive
The daughter’s laugh, the daughter’s cry, the way her daughter looks when she sleeps, the way her daughter clings to her and acts like a spoiled child…
The way her daughter eats, the way her daughter looks when she is playing the game of one, two, three…
At this moment, it seems that there are countless daughters on the white moon high in the sky.
They seem to be smiling at themselves…
Xu Xiuqin raised the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
Although there is a lot of gray dirt on her face, her smile at this moment still exudes the brilliance of motherhood.
The pedestrian street was crowded and noisy.
But Xu Xiuqin’s world was extremely quiet, as if all the sounds from the outside world didn’t exist at the moment.
This is her world alone.
After watching it for more than ten seconds, Xu Xiuqin took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
She finally looked back.
In the look, there is a strong expectation.
“Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning…”
Xu Xiuqin murmured.
“I have to go early tomorrow morning, I can’t be late… That young man is such a good person… I’ll be able to see Kiki again soon…”
Xu Xiuqin pursed her lips and smiled.
She made an appointment with a handsome young painter this morning, and tomorrow morning, in the same place, the other party will bring her a portrait of her daughter.
Although it was only a verbal description, for some unknown reason, Xu Xiuqin trusted the young painter very much.
She felt that the other party would definitely be able to draw her daughter’s true appearance, even if it wasn’t 100% the same, it was definitely very similar…
Take a step back.
No matter how the painting is, as long as it can be seen that it is her daughter, she is very satisfied and satisfied…
In addition, if she still dislikes the paintings given to her for free by other young painters, she really has no conscience. Although she Xu Xiuqin is a beggar, she still has the most basic conscience…
Thinking of this, Xu Xiuqin let out a sigh of relief.
It feels like life has expectations.
I feel very good.
After thinking about it, she carefully wrapped the remaining half of the bread and put it on her body.
This is saved for tomorrow.
She has finished eating the chicken legs. If she doesn’t eat it, it will spoil even if she keeps it on such a hot day.
Although Xu Xiuqin is still very hungry, she is not sure if she can find food tomorrow, so she has to plan for tomorrow.
After putting away the bread, she looked up at the moon again, and estimated in her mind what time it was.
Because she walks slowly, she needs to calculate the time so that she can arrange the rest time, the time it takes to hurry, and so on.
Only in this way can she arrive at her destination tomorrow morning at the agreed time.
It’s still early, don’t worry, she can continue to stay on the pedestrian street for a while.
Maybe, with luck, she can find something to eat.
To find one more food is equal to one more hope of survival.
In addition, she also tries to avoid being in the same place with other beggars.
Those so-called “peers” are likely to beat her up. She has experienced it too many times in the past.
Many permanent scars on the body are left over from these experiences.
She had resented, cried, and angered.
But when the giant wheel of life crushed her back and forth over and over again, she didn’t care much about it.
She had thought about death.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth and survived.
Now, she has hope again. Although this hope is only a painting of her daughter, to her, it is still like the most blazing sunshine in summer.
“There are still more good people in the world…”
Xu Xiuqin flashed the image of the young painter in the daytime, and smiled slightly.
“If my daughter hadn’t left… Now, it should be his age…”
Xu Xiuqin sighed softly.
She looked around, this was the corner of a small alley on the pedestrian street, and the light was relatively dim.
Although there will be pedestrians watching, but at least it can be regarded as a place to live.
Xu Xiuqin felt a little thirsty.
With her intact arms, she stood up with difficulty, supporting a worn wooden cane.
She was going out to see if she could find water to drink.
should be okay.
After drinking water, try to find food and see where you can rest.
Well, don’t rest too long tonight, leave enough time to walk…
Just five hours.
Five hours, should be about…
Xu Xiuqin leaned on crutches, calculated in her heart, and slowly walked out of the alley.
But suddenly, she stopped…
She saw many people appearing outside.
These people didn’t look like those passing by, who just glanced at her and left.
These people are standing in front of the alley.
They looked straight at Xu Xiuqin, which made Xu Xiuqin very at a loss.
There is also some apprehension.
Is there something wrong with me that makes people laugh…
She hurriedly looked down at her whole body.
Ragged, dirty, and missing a leg.
One less arm.
there is no difference…
Same as usual…
Xu Xiuqin was a little puzzled, but she couldn’t find her own problem, which made her even more frightened.
She looked up at those people, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice:
“you……”
But she wasn’t finished yet.
Those people came straight at her!
Xu Xiuqin was terrified, the expressions on those people’s faces were strange, they seemed to be tangled and reluctant.
But they still came.
Xu Xiuqin hurriedly stepped back, but she was very inconvenient to move, so she fell to the ground after only two steps back.
After those people came over, they immediately squatted down and pressed Xu Xiuqin to the ground.
Xu Xiuqin couldn’t move even a little bit.
Xu Xiuqin was dazed and scared.
The brain is blank.
What’s wrong……
Why do you do this to her…
In this dazed situation, Xu Xiuqin saw that the crowd suddenly separated, and at the entrance of the alley, a “person” dressed in white sheets came quietly…
…
…
On the way home.
A light wind blew Chen An’s black hair.
Suddenly, Chen An paused.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the pedestrian street.
His brows furrowed slightly.
