Chapter 630 Indifference
The wedding day.
Before his mother's body was cold, he and his younger brother cried all night in front of her grave. The father didn't even notice that the two of them hadn't returned home.
Later, the stepmother became pregnant and could no longer accommodate the two of them.
He never dared to leave his younger brother at home, and even carried him on his back when going up the mountain. I was afraid of offending my stepmother...
But as my stepmother became pregnant and gave birth to my younger brother, life at home became increasingly difficult.
My stepmother even made a fuss about it a few times.
The father tried to coax him humbly, but in the end he was helpless. He got a new wife, a new son, and formed a new family.
The biological father became the stepfather.
Later, my father found a human trafficker.
He fled with his brother late at night.
He lived under a bridge with his younger brother.
He has lived in graves, dilapidated temples, and begged for a living.
He has always protected his younger brother very well.
But in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being kidnapped.
Because he resisted, he was beaten by the two men, and his younger brother cried and was kicked hard. Finally died of illness on the way...
His only brother is also gone.
He promised his mother to take good care of his younger brother, but he didn't do it.
At this moment, holding Shanshan, he sat at the foot of the wall and couldn't stop shaking all over. Shanshan, whose whole body was burning hot, lay weakly in his arms, just like his younger brother in the past.
Mai Feng patted Shanshan's little face with trembling hands. He already had experience in taking care of his younger brother, so he hurriedly brought the basin of water over.
Carefully wet the corner of his clothes and wiped Shanshan's whole body carefully to reduce her fever.
But my little hands are shaking badly.
"Don't be afraid, brother... I'll cool you down. I know you feel uncomfortable..." He comforted Shanshan softly and wiped Shanshan's whole body carefully.
But Shanshan's body temperature was still burning hot.
"What should I do? He is still so young, he will die from high fever." When he talked about death, he shuddered all over.
He leaned over to the door and banged on it loudly: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly... Xiao Hulu has a high fever, open the door quickly..."
"Please be kind, Little Gourd is sick, please give me some medicine."
"He's still young, his body can't bear it. He won't be able to handle it. Please, please save him... Somebody come..." Mai Feng slammed the door and shouted at the top of his lungs.
The children in the house were terrified when they heard the noise.
"Mai Feng, don't alarm them. They will definitely beat you up... The little gourd has nothing to do with you. Everyone has their own destiny."
"You are a fool! He is not your brother, Guoguo is dead! Wake up!" Everyone knows that Mai Feng has not been in a clear mind since his brother died.
He always blamed himself for not taking good care of his younger brother, which led to his death from illness. Now when he suddenly saw the little gourd, he thought of Guoguo just like he did back then.
They looked at the little gourd with pity. They were not cruel, they were just afraid.
They have been frightened.
Shanshan was groggy from the fever, and he really had a bad start.
He was wet and uncomfortable. But he was certain that he would not die.
I am different from ordinary people.
He curled up in the corner, feeling hot and cold, and very hungry. The only thing he could hear was the faint sound of fists banging on the door and the sound of people crying out loud.
Who is crying?
Are you crying for him?
Shanshan's mind was in a daze, and she saw Maifeng stumbling towards her, touching her forehead.
Something dripped onto his face.
Dripping on the corner of his lips.
Shanshan pursed her lips, smelling a little bloody.
No, to him, it tastes sweet.
Since childhood, he has been fascinated by the smell of blood, which has a tempting sweetness. However, it was strangled in the cradle by her sister later.
Is it blood?
Did he hurt his hand by hitting the door?
"Are you hungry, little gourd? I have hidden a steamed bun for you. I'm not hungry..." He broke the steamed bun into pieces in a hoarse voice.
Shanshan, in fact, had heard his stomach growling all night.
He broke the steamed bread into pieces and stuffed it into Shanshan's mouth bit by bit.
"This water is not clean, you can't drink it. You will die of diarrhea...Brother, don't leave me. I will protect you, I will definitely protect you. Guoguo, Xiaohulu..." He hugged Shanshan tightly and crawled to the door to ask for help.
There was no light in the cellar, and it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night.
There was already blood in his throat, and suddenly, there was a click sound outside the door.
His eyes lit up slightly, and someone opened the cellar door.
But the footsteps were heavy, and just hearing them made people feel nervous.
Mai Feng raised his head and begged for help: "Xiao Hulu has a high fever, please give him some medicine. He will die without medicine, please save him...Xiao Hulu is still young, please save him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stick hit him hard on the back.
Mai Feng hurriedly hid Shanshan under his thin body.
"You little bastard, you almost killed me!"
"Pfft! Fuck you!"
"There was a sudden strict inspection outside, and you, a little bastard, was yelling and shouting. If it weren't for my alertness, you would not have escaped this disaster today!" The officer heard a noise in the house just now, and the cellar was almost discovered.
"You little bastard, just die if you want to! Do you want to wait for me to buy medicine? I think you want to die!"
"Ever since that little bastard died, you've been crazy!" The man hit Mai Feng with a stick again and again, making Mai Feng's muscles tense, but he freed one hand to hold Shan Shan tightly underneath him.
Shanshan had already become delirious due to the fever. At this moment, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and in the light, he vaguely saw Mai Feng's painful and hideous face.
Drops of blood fell on his face.
The man was extremely drunk last night. He hit the man a few times with the stick and then threw it away.
Seeing the woman coming in, he kicked her hard again: "You bitch, you are always causing trouble, you are not good at doing anything, this kid is young, I told you to throw him in the house, but you insisted on throwing him in the cellar!"
"Who would want this sickly girl now?!"
"If you delay my sale, I'll make you pay!"
"Why don't you go to the hunchbacked village doctor and get some medicine, boil it and give you two bowls of it. If possible, you can live. If not, drag you up the mountain!" The man walked out of the door cursing. The woman glared at Mai Feng and had to lock the cellar door again.
The village doctor was not a medical doctor. He had only been an apprentice in the county town for a period of time. Later, he often dug some herbs when he returned to his hometown.
Over time, it can also cure diseases. Whether it will get better or not depends entirely on luck.
In the darkness, Mai Feng fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
My whole body was in spasms due to pain and I was shaking all over.
Shanshan's heart suddenly ached and she felt uncomfortable.
"Ni, Ni, are you okay?" In the darkness, his calm eyes showed rare panic.
He clearly saw blood dripping from the corner of Mai Feng's mouth, his face was as white as paper, and there was not a trace of blood in his body.
He is weak, as weak as an ant.
He is a weak and mediocre mortal.
But he seemed very strong. Facing heavy blows, he protected himself tightly and did not suffer any injury.
Shanshan was born proud, with pride ingrained in her bones.
He was indifferent to mortals, even his parents.
But at this moment.
His heart seemed to be hit by something.
