Chapter 18 The Voice from the Soul
As midnight approached, Tao Yue'er took off her quilt and washed it, preparing to change it for Hua Ling the next day.
She knew that her quilt was used by Hua Ling to change and wash before, and she was as poor as the Salesian Bureau, and she would never give new supplies to the forgotten epidemic.This can be seen from the only hen that can lay eggs in the yard.
This hen only has one egg a day, and when everyone can eat one egg, the children will die one by one.
Before going to bed, Tao Yue'er took out the brass medal from the cabinet and held it in her hand. She stared at the medal for a long time, the pattern on the face was still brand new, it looked like she just got it not long ago.
She can't see the mystery inside, and she doesn't know how to 'fall into a dream'?
"Nine Way Warlock is also a spiritual practitioner. You haven't practiced it before, but his medal can help you. If you are interested, why not go and see for yourself."
"What do you think?"
"Hold his medal and think about the person you are interested in. If you are destined, you will see it."
"Oh……"
Tao Yueer recalled her conversation with Hua Ling in the afternoon, obviously she had doubts about Hua Ling's statement.
Can you hear the voices in the souls of others by holding a medal?
Simply incredible.
With doubts, Tao Yue'er had a dream that night.
The self in the dream has no entity, she can't see her legs and feet, she can't even see her body through the bronze mirror.He is like a person who does not exist, but can see the world with a pair of eyes.
She saw a child with big eyes and thin lips, and her hair was black and shiny, in two braids that fell from her forehead to the back of her head.A red string was tied into the braid, lighting up her gray dress.
She is a lovely girl who must be a little beauty when she grows up.
A woman took the child by the hand, took her to the gate of the Salesian Bureau, and said to her, "Sit here, and don't tell anyone where your home is if you ask. I'll buy you a doll, Will be back soon to take you home."
The little girl nodded obediently, and sat at the gate of the Salesian Bureau. No matter who asked, she would not answer, and no matter who wanted to take her away, she would not go with them.
She waited from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.Salesian outsiders come and go, but they are more indifferent than expected.
It rained heavily all night, but the little girl still did not wait for the woman to come back.
She was abandoned.
After a few days of not eating, drinking, and being exposed to the sun, her clothes could not see the original color. After she fell into a coma, the steward of the Salesian Bureau took her into the Salesian Bureau. From then on, she was like the children in the yard, Became one of hundreds of orphans.
The nanny of the Salesian Bureau didn't understand why such a beautiful child was abandoned, but soon she understood.
There was a small sore on the child's body. It was originally inconspicuous on the inside of the arm, but it didn't take long for the sore to spread, so that his face was covered with rotten sores.She has also been lying on the bed with a high fever, and she keeps muttering: "Grandma..."
Even more terrible things happened. More and more children in the Salesian Bureau were infected with sores.
After hearing the news, someone from the Imperial Medical Office asked everyone who had been in contact with the child to be quarantined, and then set up a temporary epidemic center in an uninhabited area outside the city, which is where Tao Yue'er lives now.
No one was willing to take care of these children who would soon die, until one day, Hua Ling knocked on the door of the epidemic center, that is, on this day, the nanny who had been taking care of the children also passed away due to infection.
Since then, the epidemic has been isolated from the world.
And the little girl died of illness not long after. Her appearance before death was the appearance of A Sheng that Tao Yueer saw.
The next morning, when Tao Yue'er woke up, she was still holding the medal in her hand.
She had never experienced the days when children died one after another. What she saw was that the children understood their situation and future.
They are used to death and separation.
And in the darkest period, the children cried all day long, and the sores on their bodies were itchy and festered. Hua Ling had to apply medicine to them one by one, change their clothes, and then wash them.But no matter how carefully he took care of them, in the end, he still failed to save their lives.
More and more children died, and by the time Tao Yueer came, less than one-tenth of the original number of children remained.
It was a time of despair and helplessness, a time that Tao Yue'er had never experienced, and a time that ordinary people could not imagine.
It turns out that people can live such a heavy life.
They're all just kids!
Tao Yue'er's eyes were red, and she hurried out of bed to prepare breakfast for the children.The mood of making breakfast this day is very different from the past.
In the past, it was just distressed, but today, it is empathetic sadness.
She really wished that she could show up here sooner, and accompany Hua Ling and those children who had passed away through those difficult times.
But she has no chance to come back again, she can only treat the only children left now, and in the limited time, as good as possible to them, even better!
Tao Yueer opened the "Record of Quiet Drinking Meals" and turned to the hot dishes column at the back. The whole article was full of unheard of ingredients——
Roast duck with chopped pepper fish head, sweet and sour pork ribs with prawns...
Chicken feet with Baohuang black bean sauce, roast goose and bullfrog in brine? !
Each painting is painted very realistically, which is very different from the abstract masters.Tao Yue'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She really wants to make it for the children, but it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only use vegetables and flour to make fish and shrimp shapes, so that the children can satisfy their eye addiction and satisfy their hunger.
"Today's breakfast is too rich!"
The children's eyes widened one by one, and they ate deliciously.
Tao Yue'er was very relieved and left a copy for Hua Ling, but he didn't show up for a long time.
Tao Yue'er went to his room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. She opened the door and found that the room was empty.
Hualing is not there.
"Where's Hualing?" Tao Yueer asked the children.
"Brother Ling went to the little black house."
"..."
Tao Yue'er guessed it, but if there is no definite news, she will not go into the small dark room alone to find it.
But when she knew that Hua Ling was also inside, she had the courage to go.
In the dark room, the windows are wide open, the sun shines in the room, and you can see the flying dust.On the ground next to the coffin, many wooden boards were scattered. These wooden boards were originally nailed to the wall to block the sunlight.
This is the first time that the small black room has been removed from the shelter. In a sunny environment, the black room is not considered dark anymore.
It was only then that Tao Yueer knew that the small black room had windows, but they were sealed by Hua Ling before.
The lid of the coffin was opened, and there was no sign of Shui Sheng on the bed, and her quilt was neatly folded and placed on the head of the bed.
Hua Ling stood next to the coffin, eyes closed, there seemed to be a faint brilliance around him, the whole person was soaked in the quiet and distant world, his demeanor was so detached, it was incompatible with the dilapidated houses around him.
Hua Ling's lips opened and closed, murmuring something, but Tao Yue'er couldn't hear what she said because her voice was too low.
Tao Yue'er couldn't bear to disturb him, so she waited outside the door.It wasn't until the sun was clear and around noon that Hua Ling raised her head and waved to her: "Do you want to see her for the last time?"
"Who?" Tao Yue'er was taken aback, not quite understanding, but as long as Hua Ling was around, it seemed that most of her fear of this room would be reduced.
Hua Ling signaled her to go over, and Tao Yue'er walked over without shyness.She came to the coffin and stood still, looked down, and saw a pair of black bones lying in the coffin.
Tao Yue'er was startled suddenly, her legs felt weak, and she was about to kneel down.
Hua Ling hurriedly stretched out her hand, helped her up, and said: "Shui Sheng is a junior, you don't need to do this great gift."
"The one inside is...A Sheng?" Tao Yue'er supported Hua Ling's hand, and looked at him eagerly, the disbelief in her eyes was about to come out.
Hua Ling nodded: "Not bad."
Tao Yueer gasped.
Yesterday, Shui Sheng was still a person, why did he become a skeleton today?
