clear water

On a snowy night, the streets are still full of people, only the dark corners are silent. Mu Shuiliu hides in a darker place than darkness with her knees hugged, with her head resting on her arms, looking sideways at the figure at the end of the alley. The warmth at the end of the alley is alluring.

I'm not envious, I don't like it at all, I'm like this, it's fine.

After hypnotizing herself over and over again, Mu Shuiliu buried her head in her arm, and simply couldn't see it.

Mu Shuiliu is a beggar. She was dressed in rags, but she didn’t know when she took them out of the trash can. It’s winter now, but Mu Shuiliu was only dressed in single clothes, wrapped in a dirty coat, and her trousers were knee-high. There was a big hole in the place, and the sneakers on my feet were gray or white.

As far as the name is concerned, the name Mu Shuiliu is so delicate that she doesn’t look like a beggar. Mu Shuiliu is an abandoned baby. The person whose name was discarded wrote it in the palm of Mu Shuiliu who was still in her infancy with a black pen. , nothing else was left, and on such a snowy night, when Mu Shuiliu was about to freeze to death, a beggar took Mu Shuiliu away.

People often say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune, but this obviously doesn't apply to Mu Shuiliu. After struggling, he doesn't want to be a beggar all the time, but this kind of progress is worn down by repeated failures. It seems that there is some force blocking him. But he was weak, and when Mu Shuiliu was 20 years old, the old beggar who took in and raised Mu Shuiliu died.

Mu Shuiliu has never received any cultural education. At most, she learns by looking at the books thrown away by other people's children. It is difficult for her to reach the level of elementary school in the past 20 years. It is reasonable to say that as an adult, even if he only has this ability, If you tidy up a little, you might be able to find a dishwashing job, but Mu Shuiliu is afraid of people.

On this snowy night, Mu Shuiliu no longer has the will to survive, and without the protection of the old beggar, Mu Shuiliu is extremely insecure. This society and this environment have almost driven Mu Shuiliu crazy. Not enough to eat, living by rummaging through trash cans in the middle of the night, but now, Mu Shuiliu has suddenly awakened, so it is better to just sleep peacefully like this.

Mu Shuiliu sat in the alley for three whole days without a drop of water, waiting for the old beggar to pick him up, but what he was waiting for was not the long-awaited death, but the thing he feared the most, just like the deep memory. place.

The smell of alcohol came from the entrance of the alley. The man was disheveled and his tie was hanging around his neck. He staggered as he walked. The wine bottle in his hand seemed to be out of hand at any moment. The man leaned against the wall with a flushed face. Vomit the contents of the abdomen.

The sound of nausea reached Mu Shuiliu's ears, and Mu Shuiliu looked in the direction of the man stiffly, only the word "escape" remained in his head for a while.

But because he hadn't eaten for three days, Mu Shuiliu's body was weak and helpless, and the man came over because he found Mu Shuiliu.

The man squatted down next to Mu Shuiliu with the wine bottle, smelled the smell of Mu Shuiliu's body, turned his head away in disgust, then turned back, picked up the wine bottle viciously, and poured it on Mu Shuiliu's head. .

The temperature of the ice wine made Mu Shuiliu tremble even more, his eyes frantically searched for the escape route, the man was furious because he was ignored by Mu Shuiliu, the wine bottle turned into pieces on Mu Shuiliu's head, the man stretched out his hand Grabbing Mu Shuiliu's slightly long shoulder-length hair, forcing Mu Shuiliu to look up at her, her eyes glowing red, she shouted at Mu Shuiliu, "Even you ignore me! What are you, what are you stuff! I want,'

Mu Shuiliu didn't know where the strength came from, she screamed and pushed the man away, escaped from the alley, and fled into the crowd with more "demons", Mu Shuiliu screamed, waved, ran, trying to Drain your life.

Mu Shuiliu hid herself again, wrapped herself tightly with herself, and her head was full of images of being beaten, insulted, and even violated by drunk people when she was a child, and behind these big demons, there were many laughing The little devil watching the play also started from that day. In Mu Shuiliu's world, besides the old beggar, he was the only one left to contend with the devils.

The market outside quietened down a little bit, Mu Shuiliu's heart also calmed down a little bit, and finally returned to dead silence, feeling the feeling that her body gradually no longer belonged to her, Mu Shuiliu smiled, and finally, she was about to die.

Mu Shuiliu thought of something, and exhausted his last strength to climb to the door of a coffee shop. However, it was almost midnight, and the coffee shop had already closed. Mu Shuiliu was a little disappointed and wanted to say goodbye to him. No chance.

Mu Shuiliu sat down in front of the coffee shop, imagining the first time he saw him that day, he must be an angel kidnapped by demons, but unfortunately he is not strong enough, otherwise, he could escape with the angel It's just that, in the end, he didn't know that his angel belonged here.

Mu Shuiliu looked sideways at the pitch-black space in the cafe, but in Mu Shuiliu's eyes, there was a paradise full of warm colors, in which lived his angel.

Mu Shuiliu slowly closed her eyes, my angel, please forgive me for being selfish and defiled your holy place, I want to die in the place closest to the warmth, the closest to heaven, and the closest to you.

The snow in the night gradually grew bigger, Mu Shuiliu put on a new "beautiful" white dress, and in a daze, he saw his angel.

Xia Qingyu came to work in the morning and saw the "snowman" in front of the store. She was shocked and hurriedly brushed off the snow from the "snowman" to reveal her real body. Different from the white appearance, the "snowman" inside was Dirty black.

Xia Qingjue took off her gloves, and put her hand under Mu Shuiliu's nose tentatively. Although it was weak, her breathing was still there. Xia Qingjue breathed a sigh of relief, and wrapped the scarf around her neck around Mu Shuiliu. Then he quickly opened the store door. Mu Shuiliu was very light due to malnutrition. Xia Qingjue easily carried Mu Shuiliu in and let Mu Shuiliu lie on the table. Xia Qingjue turned on the heater to the maximum.

The warm spring revives, and so does Mushuiliu. It feels like being in a sunny meadow with flowers in full bloom. There are no demons, only cute animals to accompany, dancing and singing, and old beggars applauding for their singing and dancing.

The clouds in the sky parted, revealing the heaven hidden in the clouds, his angel descended with white wings, getting closer and closer, his angel stretched out his hand towards him, and he, on the pair of like The imaginary warm hand returned to reality.

Mu Shuiliu was in a daze looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around her, when footsteps came from behind her, accompanied by the smell of delicious food, "You're awake!"
