Chu Xi fell asleep in a good mood, but she had a nightmare. In the nightmare, she replayed the terrifying scene of the end of the world. One by one, her loved ones passed away in grief, and one by one, living people were eaten alive...
Every time I wake up from a nightmare, I still feel a lingering fear. I resist those nightmares from the bottom of my heart, but I can't resist the invasion of nightmares at all...
It’s as if you’ve fallen into a trap set by a dream maker in the apocalypse, and you can never wake up, as if you’re constantly repeating your most terrifying dreams!
But no matter what dream Chu Xi has now, she wants to go back into the dream after waking up. She hopes that everything she sees when she is awake now is just a nightmare!
I wish I could go back to when I was seven years old and be with my parents...
A long sigh, feeling lost...
The dull and sad mood was suddenly driven away by a sweet and lovely voice.
"Mom, Mom, I'm hungry!"
Turning his head to look at the soft and adorable little dumpling, Chu Xi's face, which had just been full of melancholy, was instantly filled with smiles...
By the way, the simplest way to heal a person's heart seems to be this sweet baby voice...
Her mood improved a lot, and Chu Xi quickly took out clothes for Xiao Shitou to put on, but was rejected. Looking at the little cutie who was clumsy but insisted on putting on his clothes, Chu Xi smiled happily.
Yes, I already have a son, a husband, and my own parents and brothers in this life. Let me forget about the Chu Xi in the past...
Pulling the little stone into the space again, Chu Xi prepared a rich and delicious breakfast.
Peanut and walnut soup, whole wheat bread, ham and scrambled eggs, red bean paste buns, vegetable and meat buns, celery and dried tofu...
Seeing this, Little Stone's index finger moved and he quickly unfolded it. Of course, Chu Xi also looked at the little guy. It's not advisable to eat too much for breakfast...
After taking Little Stone into the children's room to continue his preschool education and arranging for the most well-behaved and obedient Comrade Xiao Ai to be the tutor and babysitter, Chu Xi left the space and leisurely walked out of the guesthouse...
A new day began, a beam of sunlight fell on her body, and Chu Xi already felt the passion of summer early in the morning.
Today's main task is to find evidence against the so-called superior. After all, he's a government official. If he disappears or gets into an accident, it will cause unnecessary trouble. I hope there's no special affairs bureau or special security bureau...
This time, she planned to use reason to convince these "whites" instead of resorting to force...
Of course, if you are unreasonable, we can still solve it by force...
"Hmph, we have strong military force, but if you insist on being unreasonable, how can I be so inflexible? Convincing people with reason and convincing them with force are not much different..."
His mental power was instantly activated, focusing on the county government building, the family compound, and the guesthouse. In fact, it was called a government building, but it was just a three-story building with a larger building area. There was nothing special about it.
But after looking around, I didn't see any suspicious people, objects or things. They were all well-behaved and lazy...
I don't know how the staff here can be so at ease watching the people outside go hungry and cold all day long, and still be so at ease slacking off...
There are a few people who work diligently, but they seem to be not very important characters!
I felt a young man with an ordinary appearance but neat and tidy manner, holding a thick document and sweating all over, knocking on the door of a leader's office. But inside, an obese man lying on a large sofa, enjoying a massage with a fan, started cursing at the outside...
The female secretary behind him was laughing so hard that she looked like a raging sea, and she was so charming that the leader, who had turned his head, looked like his dead eyes were about to come alive...
Chu Xi was strangely angry. What a bunch of parasites! What a bunch of trash...
In the shadow behind the three-story building, a pair of cracked hands held two dusty children. The woman's eyes were lifeless as she stared aimlessly ahead, her hollow eyes seemingly devoid of any desire to live...
The two young children were still full of longing for the world. Looking at the high-rise buildings close at hand, their eyes were full of fantasy and hope. They were just not very sensible and were still shouting heartwarming words.
"Mom, mom, I'm hungry... I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns..."
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard the child's tender words, but when she looked around at the seemingly prosperous county town, she found herself in rags and penniless...
She felt the deep malice of the world. Her husband had died tragically, and their home had been divided up by his brothers, who had cruelly driven her, an orphan and a widow, away. She felt for the two remaining steamed buns in her pocket, but she didn't dare take them out directly, fearing she wouldn't be able to find food tomorrow...
I'm afraid the only way left for the three of them is death.
She wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at the hungry child, she really didn't want to live in this dirty and miserable world any longer...
But thinking about her two poor young children, she finally tightened her grip on hope and had to find a way to get some food, even if it meant losing face and begging...
Chu Xi thought about the poor and destitute families he had met during his several long journeys. Most of the rural people's clothes and pants were covered with patches, and they were all pale and thin. There were also many children who were starving, some even eating grass roots, tree bark, and Guanyin soil...
I don't know what to say. Every time I encounter such a scene, Chu Xi knows that this is the true portrayal of most poor people in this era...
Even among these seemingly bright and beautiful city dwellers, there are also many poor people who pick up garbage, beg, steal, and sell...
Perhaps, I should be able to do something, for myself and for my fellow human beings!
Seeing the woman about to walk towards a discarded piece of rotten vegetable leaves, Chu Xi appeared silently behind her and handed a package to the child who turned to look at her. There were eggs, corn, and a small amount of money...
Looking at the woman who turned back in surprise, Chu Xi said only one sentence,
"Just think of it as living for the sake of the children. Only by living can there be hope!"
After saying that, he turned and walked away. The woman was stunned at first, then she opened the package that her eldest son was barely holding. Seeing the exquisite food and banknotes inside, tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly pulled the two children, who were still happy and ignorant, towards the direction Chu Xi had left, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times...
Touching the extremely precious package, she seemed to have hope of living again. These were enough for them to find a place to settle down, and thus they had hope of living.
"Children, remember, you must remember, it was that big sister who saved your lives! You must remember what she looks like, and when you are able, you must repay her well!"
Chu Xi didn't know that such a trivial act of kindness rekindled the hope of life in the woman who had already lost her mind to death, and also allowed her child to understand the meaning of gratitude early on!
