"As expected - as expected nothing will change! As expected nothing can be resisted! Si Que - I hate you!!"
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!!!"
Su Liujin walked up the hillside and saw Qi Zhou holding a blood-stained wreath in his hand.
…
"despair."
Slums.
The narrow red brick walls are entangled with scattered electrical wires, and the soil and accumulated water have accumulated into a flowing gray-yellow color.
Su Ming'an was walking in the alleys of the slums, holding a red umbrella. He saw many crooked bodies and pairs of dirty eyes of children.
"Thump, thump, thump."
He seemed to be walking aimlessly, wandering meaninglessly, when he saw a running figure.
He has short hair and a square face, which is full of traces of the years. He has a pair of bright eyes, blood is flowing down the corners of his mouth, and he keeps coughing.
——Mo Chenqing.
Su Ming'an remembered this middle-aged man. He once begged him to change the ingredients of the medicine to save his daughter. However, before Su Ming'an came out of the house, he was bewitched by the congressman to go to the TV station and identify the innocent Si Que as the mastermind in exchange for the medicine.
His daughter should have recovered by now.
But why did he appear to be running away?
"......!" Seeing Su Mingan, whose attire was obviously not that of a slum dweller, Mo Chenqing paused, fear revealed on his face, and ran in another direction.
Su Mingan followed slowly, his face expressionless, his back dragging colorless and invisible branches and leaves, like a tree without emotions.
After running for not long, Mo Chenqing started coughing violently and fell down due to exhaustion. He covered his lungs in pain and blood flowed down his chin.
"Please don't come over here!" he yelled at Su Mingan.
Su Mingan stopped and held the red umbrella silently.
"You so-called emperors, so-called leaders, so-called heroes... please stay away from me! I beg you! I am just an ordinary person, I just want my daughter and I to survive! Those major events in the world have nothing to do with me!" Mo Chenqing coughed and cried out in pain: "I got the medicine! I sold my conscience to get it! Our family's life will finally get better. Why are you still staring at me, why are you still staring at me?"
The guy named "Qi Zhou" said something like "Mo Chenqing was written into the script" and wanted Mo Chenqing to stay with him all the time. Mo Chenqing didn't want to deal with that kind of guy. The moment the red rain fell, Mo Chenqing felt something was wrong and stabbed Qi Zhou from the back. He didn't even want the wreath and hurried down the hillside and ran home.
——Yes, yes, he wants to go home!
No matter which royal noble caused this heavy rain, or which immortal emperor's conspiracy, Mo Chenqing only cared about his children. His son went on a long trip, but his sick daughter was still at home!
Su Mingan tilted his head.
His gaze made Mo Chenqing feel a terrifying sense of alienation. It didn't feel like he was facing a person, but more like he was facing a dead flower or a tree.
Without waiting for Su Mingan to say anything, Mo Chenqing got up and ran in one direction recklessly.
Su Mingan still followed behind with the red umbrella.
Soon, he saw Mo Chenqing rushing into a simple house.
Su Mingan stood at the door and looked through the gap in the window - there was a quiet girl lying on the bed. The girl had a painful expression on her face, covered with a thin quilt, with raindrops on her cheeks, and she was no longer breathing.
“Plop.”
Mo Chenqing suddenly lost his strength and his knees slammed to the ground.
His forehead was pressed against the ground, his eyes lost focus, and he murmured without any pause:
"Yes, why didn't I think that people with weak constitutions couldn't make it? How could my daughter make it? I shouldn't have gone to the hillside to make a wreath for Chunni'er. I wasn't by her side at the end. It was wrong from the beginning. I shouldn't have approached that guy named Bai Qiu. He was the dark horse genius of the royal city. What am I, an old man? If it wasn't for that, wouldn't I have at least had time to hug Chunni'er..."
Amid the bright red moisture, a red rain was falling on the simple house.
Through the bright red mist, Su Ming'an saw the man's red eyes. He stared with his eyes wide open, revealing a blank smile. Suddenly, he raised his head, stared at Su Ming'an and said:
"Hey...hey hey...that's enough! It must be enough!"
"Wait until tomorrow, when the rain stops, and go get a job first... I remember the docks are still hiring temporary workers, paid by the day, but they probably won't hire people my age... Yes, wrap your hair with rags, stuff your chest with grass leaves, pretend to be strong, and you should be able to work. I wonder if you can get 3 Shar coins."
"I can also go to the tavern to work the late shift at night. They are looking for a janitor. If I work until 2 a.m., I should be able to earn 4 Shar coins. Then... oh, by the way, I can go to the hillside in the suburbs and pick some early morning flowers for Chunnier and make a wreath. She has been talking about it. Then I will go home and lie down for a while, and continue working during the day... In this way, I should be able to buy some nutritional supplements for Chunnier. One box sells for 5 Shar coins. As for me, it is enough to eat some bread. I only need 1 Shar coin to be full..."
Trembling, he untied the tattered cloth bag in his arms. It was one of the few things that was not stained by the red rain. He protected it tightly with his body. Inside was a piece of black bread and a box of nutritional supplements.
He took a bite of the black bread, which was so hard that it made his old teeth ache. Then he carefully opened the box of nutritional supplements, which he bought from a street gangster for 5 Shar coins. He had to work for two whole days without sleep...
Chunnier only needs to take a bite of such a precious nutrient. She just fainted due to lack of nutrition. She will open her eyes again...
