I trade seven with the gods

January 2019, 7,

A major earthquake broke out in City A that shocked the world. However, what is puzzling is that although this major earthquake came quickly, it also went away quickly.

According to past seismological experience, the aftershocks of a rare major earthquake of this magnitude will generally last for many days. And according to the inspections and speculations of relevant agencies, there will indeed be several small earthquakes erupting in the next few days.

Therefore, officials have made sufficient preparations and have even begun to carry out large-scale migration of people.

However, what everyone did not expect was that subsequent aftershocks never occurred again, and this major earthquake, which was rare in the century, actually died out.

Despite this, it was not until a month after the earthquake that the survivors of City A dared to set foot on their hometown one after another.

Although the earthquake lasted only a short time, it still caused immeasurable harm to the people of City A.

Many people died in the earthquake, and countless others were injured and displaced.

……

After the disaster, the city began to rebuild. Reconstruction is a long process. Many victims are still homeless and gather on the streets.

The winter sun shines on the ruins, bringing a sense of comfort to this traumatized city. In the temporary residences on both sides of the road, some people were cooking and some were taking care of the wounded.

Da Da——

A thin figure covered in mud walked slowly from a distance. This was a young man. He was unkempt, skinny, and looked like a beggar.

Pfft!

Every time the young man came to a family with injured people, he would kneel down and kowtow to the family, then stand up and continue walking forward.

Everyone thought he was here to beg, so they kindly handed him some food.

But the young man did not have any contact with his master, and avoided everyone who tried to get close to him. He just kowtowed from a distance and left... Even kowtowing, he kept a distance of more than ten meters.

"Ugh,"

Some people couldn't help but lamented:

"Poor kid, he looks crazy."

After the earthquake, people like this boy were not uncommon. Many families have only one person left. It is difficult for people who are the only survivors of the whole family to accept the reality, and there are many who are mentally disturbed.

So everyone stopped paying attention and continued busy with the things at hand.

……

Zhao Qi returned to his small shabby house,

It was said to be a house, but in fact it was just a temporary structure that looked worse than a doghouse.

crackling-

In the small hut, a bonfire was burning.

The young Zhao Luoyi curled up and leaned against the bonfire to keep warm.

Zhao Luoyi is no longer the rich lady. The warm bed and exquisite food have left her. At this time, she only had a torn single piece of clothing left on her body, which could not even cover the girl's skin.

"elder brother,"

Seeing Zhao Qi coming back, Zhao Luoyi shouted to his brother aggrievedly:

"I'm hungry……"

Zhao Qi's heart twitched, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, but it froze in mid-air.

To be honest, he wanted to go up and comfort his poor sister, but he didn't dare. In order to prevent hurting his sister, he didn't dare to show any kindness to her.

"Brother, pay attention to me."

Zhao Luoyi's eyes were slightly red, and her voice had a crying tone.

She didn't know what had happened. She could accept the sudden earthquake, and she could also accept the change from a wealthy family to penury.

But what she couldn't accept was her father's sudden disappearance and her brother's sudden indifference.

The same thing happened once when she was five years old. At that time, her mother disappeared from her world without any warning. She had only been recovering from grief for a few years, and now her father had disappeared again.

why?

Why does the world treat her like this?

……

Zhao Qi held back the tears that came to his eyes. He tried hard to maintain an indifferent appearance, walked to the corner and lay down silently, ignoring his sister's cries.

rustle,

Just then, a small insect crawled across the ground.

Zhao Luoyi hesitated for a moment, then she caught the little bug.

Zhao Xingzhou noticed his sister's behavior. At this moment, endless shame and grief spread in his heart, almost making him breathless.

……

Three days later,

Zhao Luoyi suddenly ran into the small shabby house in surprise,

"Brother, I found a lot of food today."

Zhao Luoyi took out a large pile of steamed buns, bread and corn from behind and handed it to Zhao Qi excitedly.

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. How did his sister do it? Where did she get so much food?

In the next few days,

Zhao Luoyi brings food to the small shabby house every day, and not only food, but also some daily necessities and even some cotton clothes.

"This is relief supplies."

Zhao Luoyi said proudly.

Zhao Qi suddenly realized that indeed, in the past few days, new relief supplies began to be sent to the ruins one after another.

Although there was food at home, Zhao Qi didn't eat a bite in order to keep it for his sister. When he was really hungry and couldn't bear it, he drank a few sips of water to satisfy his hunger.

One day, Zhao Qi walked out of the house and met his sister Zhao Luoyi in the alley outside.

He followed up suspiciously, but saw a scene that made his eyes split open.

In the dark alley, a gangster with red hair looked at Zhao Luoyi cynically. He stretched out a finger with a smile and said in a joking tone:

"Still the old rule, a piece of bread and a kiss."

bang——

That day, Zhao Qi went crazy. He rushed out and beat the red-haired gangster until his head was bloody. He looked like a madman.

After returning that day, Zhao Qi knew he couldn't do this anymore, and he began to try to find a job.

At this time, the construction of City A has made some progress, and some jobs have been provided to the victims. Although there are few, Zhao Qi still found one.

He tried not to communicate with his host as much as possible, just to prevent him from hurting his host.

However, despite this, an accident happened.

On the first night of his work, someone in the owner's house was injured again. The owner's wife had a finger cut off and blood was flowing everywhere.

That night, Zhao Qi went crazy.

He cursed the sky angrily in the dark night, cursing God with all the anger in his heart.

He really wanted to be like the historical story, when he was cursing God, a thunderbolt struck him, turning him into charcoal, and ending his damn life.

However, the reality was not what he expected.

There was no thunder,

There is no miracle,

No bread either.

There is nothing,

Yes, there is only him, a clown played by God.

There was a leak in the house and it rained all night, so my sister Zhao Luoyi disappeared. The night she disappeared, she only left a note:

"Brother, I'm going to find bread for us two."

……

In the days to come,

Zhao Qi is like a lonely ghost wandering the streets.

As time goes by, City A has almost been rebuilt, and everyone's life is gradually getting back on track.

Although everyone's wealth has plummeted, at least everyone's food and clothing have been solved. Many people have found good jobs and begun to save money again. Everything is developing on the bright side.

sunny day,

On the newly built commercial pedestrian street, Zhao Qi was lying in the corner, covered in filth.

"Xiao Qi?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

He opened his eyes blankly and saw a beautiful girl in a blue dress, looking at him blankly.

Zhao Qi's pupils shrank sharply,

He didn't know how long he had been numb. At this moment, his mood fluctuated for the first time.

Because the person standing in front of him at this moment was his first girlfriend-Xu Tinglan.

Next to Xu Tinglan, there were two girls who were also very beautifully dressed. They seemed to be Xu Tinglan's classmates or best friends.

Holding a cup of milk tea in their hands, they looked at the beggar-like Zhao Qi in surprise, with disgust on their faces.

"Tinglan...is this your boyfriend?"

the two girls asked in surprise.

Zhao Qi stood up in a flash. He thought he was numb, but at this moment, he actually felt ashamed. Then, he fled in embarrassment like a stray dog.

"Xiao Qi——"

Xu Tinglan shouted desperately from behind and immediately chased after him.

"Tinglan,"

The two girls couldn't help but persuade:

"Is he really your boyfriend? Even if he is, forget it. Look what he has become..."

"To shut up!"

Xu Tinglan turned around sharply and cursed:

"No matter what he becomes, he is still my man!"

After saying that, the girl dropped the milk tea in her hand and hurriedly chased Zhao Qi. She was wearing a blue skirt that fluttered and shone in the sun.
