What was Chang Le like back then?
December 18th
The alleys of Cangzhou's old city—
The little person huddled in the "cardboard box house" they had built, wrapped in a tattered blanket given to them by an old woman who collected garbage.
Its round eyes seemed to glow in the night, staring at the dark alley entrance.
It wasn't fear, but rather that she knew all sorts of random people often trespassed into her territory at this time.
Sometimes it's a man who can't walk, sometimes it's someone like her with nowhere to go, sometimes it's a man and woman huddled together, sometimes it's a homeless old person...
She usually only begins to rest after hearing the old-fashioned wall clock inside the house strike twelve.
It's past midnight, but she's still awake because today is different.
Someone will definitely come today.
Sure enough, a series of chaotic footsteps came, and several beams of flashlight first fell on the "walls" of her little hut.
She hid inside the "wall" and remained undetected.
A boy of six or seven years old led four teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old in.
"Guys, this is it! This is where a wild brat bit me!"
"Where? There's no one here."
"Is he hiding inside?"
"Big brother, she's definitely inside. Get her out!"
The sound is coming closer.
She knew the visitor meant no good.
Because yesterday, she made a stupid, cowardly little fat boy cry, and even bit through the flesh ring on his arm.
Here's what happened:
The chubby boy teased her with a lollipop, saying he'd give it to her if she smiled. But after she smiled, the chubby boy reneged and refused to give her the candy.
She pinched his flesh and told him that her favorite story was "The Little Girl Who Bought a Nuclear Bomb".
Then, the chubby boy was so scared that he cried.
She expressed her incomprehension and took her prize—his candy—while eating it and watching him cry.
The chubby boy cried and talked about who his father was, who his mother was, how much money his family had, and that he was the prince of his class... all sorts of nonsense.
Xiao Chang was furious. "Whoever you are, are you deliberately trying to provoke me? So what if I'm poor?"
He went up, hit the little fat boy with a big scoop, and the boy fell to the ground, crying loudly.
Xiao Changle, hands on hips and looking down, commented: "Garbage!"
The chubby boy cried so hard he could barely breathe, which soon attracted his anxious parents who were looking for him.
A beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and a pretty dress picked him up with heartache, while the man who followed her frowned and asked.
The chubby boy cried and shouted, "She bullied me! She hit me!"
The woman turned around and glared at her: "Where did this little bastard come from, bullying our Xuanxuan? I'll beat you to death!"
The chubby boy immediately became arrogant: "I'll beat you to death! You little bastard!"
Xiao Changle was already desensitized to such words. He crunched the candy, finding it very sweet.
"Stop eating!" The woman reached out and slapped the candy away, her manicured nails scratching her face.
Xiao Changle's expression changed drastically. Her round eyes glared at her, and she said in a crisp voice, "Old witch! You'll die soon!"
The woman, exasperated, tugged at the man: "What are you standing there for, like a block of wood?"
The man kicked out, bypassing Xiao Changle, and knocked down her small house.
The torn cardboard hit Xiao Changle's feet, and she froze.
The man glared at her: "At such a young age, you're already learning to steal other people's things and even hitting them. What will you be doing when you grow up, killing and arson?"
"He's obviously a lowlife!"
The woman spat, then looked up and suddenly froze.
The little girl was looking at her, looking up at her from below; her eyes were like those of a wolf cub hunting in an animal documentary.
The woman shivered.
The little girl suddenly rushed up, and before the woman could even scream, the chubby boy in her arms was pulled to the ground!
One bite, and my arm was pinned down!
The chubby boy cried out in pain!
The woman finally reacted, screaming and whipping the girl. The man rushed up and kicked the girl away, finally rescuing the chubby boy whose arm was covered in blood.
Xiao Changle climbed up from the tattered cardboard, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and still glared at the three of them.
The man couldn't help but curse, then turned and pulled at his wife and daughter: "Damn it, what bad luck! We ran into a monster! Let's get out of here, let's go home!"
The three turned and left, their cursing still echoing in the alley.
What Xiao Changle noticed was the chubby boy's sinister gaze and his shout, "I won't let you go."
She has experience; this kind of useless, oblivious, and self-important person is likely to come back again.
After wiping his scratched face again, Xiao Changle turned around and managed to piece the cardboard back together, then clutched his stomach and shrank inside.
She needs to conserve her energy to deal with the enemy who will come again!
But she couldn't possibly beat five grown children. She was beaten a lot; some of her bones were broken or shattered.
But she's ruthless.
Every time she seized an opportunity to fight back, it was like a desperate struggle; every counterattack was like that of a fugitive. She was originally a lone wolf, wandering alone, and she was more ruthless, bolder, and more reckless than them!
Later, the noise was so loud that someone called the police.
Later, her illegal residency status was finally discovered. After repeated instructions from the hospital director, she was led into the world of normal people.
In fact, the world can be very warm and safe. So, the wolf cub put away its claws, accepted the sunshine and caresses of the new world, and learned how to be a human.
But that doesn't mean she became a weak and useless person. She wasn't a delicate flower, but she could live a life as tender and delicate as a flower.
In this new world and life, she can either obediently accept the pampering, or she can sharpen her claws again.
