Chapter 69 The Devil Crawling Out of Hell
The child moved his delicate body and walked slowly into the snow. Under several pairs of hungry eyes, he was like a little animal walking unknowingly into a deadly trap.
At a certain moment, under the warm morning sun, the snow was creaking under the feet of people, and dark shadows like ghosts in the morning mist quietly and quickly approached the child who was standing in the snow and staring at the snow under his feet in a daze.
Some walked right around him and looked more carefully to see if there was really a dead body lying in the hut behind him.
But Xingxing just thought it was noisy.
Those greedy, hungry, urgent and trembling voices had been drilling into his ears and head since he had been before he woke up in the morning, making it impossible for him to continue sleeping.
Xingxing might be a grumpy kid.
At least now, he was a little annoyed by the noise.
Before a pair of rough hands reached out to grab him, he looked up at the adult who was standing in front of him with an excited look on his face.
Even though the 3-year-old child was covered in dirt, his eyes were exceptionally clear with distinct black and white.
It clearly reflects the figure of every predator who regards himself as a trapped animal in a cage.
At the moment of looking at each other, a soft child's voice resounded in everyone's heart and mind:
Don't move, or you will die.
Xingxing lowered her eyes to look at the trembling hand that was stretched out in front of her eyes and then frozen, and she also stretched out her hand, and in the other's horrified and frightened eyes, she gently pushed his unstable body.
"You moved." The young voice at this moment sounded like the joyful declaration of death.
The next second, the beggar who rushed the fastest, under the horrified gaze of other beggars and refugees, fell back straight into the snow like a wall, leaving a deep human mark.
He is dead.
In front of every eye, he died without any warning or reason.
The voice of fear grew louder.
Xingxing ignored them. He squatted on the other side, took out a small blue plastic basin, scooped half of it full of snow, and walked back slowly with it.
Xingxing passed by a refugee who was blocking the way and reaching out to push the door open but was forced to stop. Under his terrified gaze, she put down the small basin in her hand and walked back in through the small gap that she had pushed open at the beginning.
The small pot was round and a little big. Xingxing couldn't carry it into the door, so he simply placed it at the door and let it slowly melt in the sun.
Walking into the house, the damp and cold temperature was not much better than outside.
Xingxing went out barefoot just now. Qiuqiu chased after him and shouted at him many times to put on shoes, but the child ignored him.
When he came in, Qiuqiu was already extremely angry. He hid in the corner farthest from Xingxing and didn't want to talk to him.
Xingxing stood at the door of the cabin, his dirty little feet covered with unmelted snow. In just a short while, his body temperature made his feet wet and extremely uncomfortable.
Xingxing waited until the snow on her feet had melted before she stepped lightly onto the soft quilt and sat down beside her brother. She supported her chin with her two little hands and stared blankly at his head, the only part of his body exposed outside his cotton coat.
Looks like he's still a little sleepy.
Qiuqiu secretly observed for a while, and without Xingxing's coaxing, he flew back awkwardly, muttering sullenly: "Why don't you wear shoes when you go out? What if you catch a cold? You are all children in this world, and there are no doctors for colds. In this era, colds can be fatal. Why doesn't Xingxing take good care of her body today..."
It just chased after Xingxing and asked her to put on her shoes.
But the child acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked out barefoot.
Qiuqiu was so angry and anxious that he almost shed tears.
It even began to wonder if Xingxing had entered the rebellious period of a human cub.
But it can do nothing but whisper in the ears of the stars.
Xingxingkong's vast gaze was focused by Qiuqiu's muttering, and the next second, he stretched out his little hand and held the ball of light flying in front of him.
Qiuqiu: “…”
She hummed twice, seemingly reluctantly, but finally nestled comfortably in the child's soft, dirty hands.
Easy to get angry, but super easy to coax.
Xingxing lowered her eyes and whispered to the ball in her opponent's heart: "Xingxing is dirty and doesn't wear clean shoes~"
There are so many things in the space of stars, from the doomsday world and the real world. Parents always seem to worry that their children who are traveling far away will not be able to take care of themselves. They will ask them to put away any good things and be particularly careful, for fear that if something is missing, their children will have a bad time where they can't see them.
But Xingxing still cherishes it very much.
He knew his feet were dirty, so he wanted to wash his hands and feet with snow water before wearing them. He didn't mean to freeze himself sick by not wearing shoes.
The child pursed his lips gently, his eyelashes trembled silently, and curled himself up into a small ball. He looked very well-behaved.
Qiuqiu: “…”
It didn't expect this to be the reason.
Looking at Xingxing hugging her knees and staring blankly at the moment, Qiuqiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly apologized softly: "Baby, I'm sorry..."
Xingxing tilted her head, her eyes slightly curved, and she held it in her little hands, putting it in her dirty arms.
My brother is dirty.
Dirty stars.
The ball is dirty too.
The dirty family.
The howling cold wind outside rushed in through the crack in the door. Xingxing thought about closing the door, but the door would creak so loudly that her brother would be woken up.
So Xingxing imitated her brother's action of wrapping himself up last night, and tried hard to wrap her brother up little by little by grabbing the cotton coat.
Then I met a pair of sleepy eyes.
"Xingxing?" Xiaowu subconsciously reached out to hug his brother.
The result was that it looked like a giant cicada pupa arching in front of the stars.
Xiaowu: “……?”
what happens?
Xingxing thinks this kind of brother is kind of cute.
He squatted beside his brother, stretched out his dirty little hands, and curiously poked his brother's thin, fleshless cheek.
Xiaowu rolled on the ground twice and freed himself from the messy cotton coat.
And successfully hugged his curious and mischievous younger brother.
"It's warm in the bed. How long has Xingxing been awake?" Xiaowu hugged his younger brother and wrapped the two little ones together in a thick cotton coat.
Xingxing shook her head and said she didn't know.
Then he raised his little hand and pointed outside, saying softly: "Brother, there are so many people outside~"
With that one sentence, Xiaowu's body suddenly stiffened.
A flash of fear flashed across his eyes, but it was suppressed in an instant and soon turned into a burning and determined light in his eyes.
No matter how many people there are, no matter what evil intentions these people have, he will definitely protect the stars.
Xiaowu hugged Xingxing tightly, but the 7-year-old seemed to have lost his childish innocence. His tone was as serious as an adult's: "Xingxing, put the things in the house away, and find a chance to escape later. The farther the better, understand?"
"What about my brother?" Xingxing raised her dirty little face, and looked at him earnestly with her black and white eyes. She did not immediately tell her brother that all the people outside were under her control.
Xiao Wu bit the soft flesh on his cheek, suppressed his fear and tears, hugged Xing Xing tightly in his arms, and said to him: "After you run away, I will run too, we will run in two directions."
The child paused in his hoarse voice, and then whispered to his brother in his arms, "Xingxing, go to a faraway place, eat, sleep and grow up, and wait for your brother to come find you."
Xingxing tilted her head, stared at the tears in her brother's eyes inquiringly, and asked softly: "Will my brother find Xingxing?"
"...I will." Xiao Wu quietly clenched his fists where the stars couldn't see him, and lied tremblingly: "If I can't find you in one day, I will look for many days. When the stars grow up, I will definitely find you."
lie.
fraud.
But the human cub in front of him was crying in his heart while lying.
Xingxing reached out and gently hugged her trembling brother, rubbed her head against his chin, and whispered, "Okay~ Xingxing got it."
He let go of his hand, and stood behind his brother, tilting his head and smiling as he watched his brother walk out with heavy but firm steps.
The moment he saw someone at the door, Xiaowu reflexively pushed his head forward.
The beggar, who was already shaky from maintaining the suspended posture, had his eyes bulged out in fear and his voice for mercy only uttered a brief syllable before he was knocked down by the reckless Xiao Wu.
He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.
Behind him, other beggars and refugees who were cosplaying as snowman statues in the snow were also watching this scene in horror.
Xiao Wu had no idea what was going on. He just chased after the man and started beating him up with such rage.
The stars stood at the door.
The ball stands on the shoulders of the stars.
The two kids watched this one-sided fight quietly.
The beggar was not dead.
When he found that he was not dead and could still move, a flash of ecstasy flashed across his eyes for a moment, followed by a ruthless desire to eat people. But just as he was about to fight back, his eyes passed Xiao Wu and saw the small figure standing at the door.
The next second, he and other beggars and refugees who were ready to move heard the familiar and soft child's voice again.
"Don't hurt my brother~"
Everyone: “…”
The beggar who was pinned to the ground by Xiao Wu and beaten desperately was: "..."
His cloudy eyes stared blankly at the clear sky, he felt the pain as if his bones were about to shift, his heart filled with shivering, desperate fear.
That kid...he is not a human being at all, but a demon that crawled out of hell!
Maybe he died last night, and now a ghost is occupying his body! An evil ghost who came to the world for revenge!
As Xiaowu was playing, he felt something was not right.
He realized later that it was too quiet around him and he had played too easily.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively stopped his aching fist and looked at the other beggars who were about to rush over to beat him to death. There were several familiar faces among them.
But... they maintained a strange and weird posture, standing there without moving.
Xiao Wu: “…”
For some reason, he subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.
Then I unexpectedly bumped into my brother's smiling eyes.
Xiao Wu was stunned for a second, then looked down at the beggar who was pinned to the snow and beaten until his eyes and nose were bleeding.
Oh yeah, he didn’t move, not even fight back.
Xiaowu suddenly didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a while, he slowly let go of the man and stood up, walking in front of Xingxing with a head full of confusion and speculation.
Before he could even ask any question, two hands reached out and picked up his brother with ease.
The question came out as if it had not been thought through: "Xingxing, did they bully you before?"
Everyone: “???!”
