Year of God's Choice

Yanli's first job was to help carry sundries at a construction site with everyone. The other children had their own gloves, but Yanli did not. In addition, he was deliberately assigned much more work than others , So after the whole morning, the hands were worn and blistered, and some places were broken. The blood and water were mixed with dirty mud, which looked messy.

"Chu Yong, Yanli has been assigned too many tasks, he can't do it alone." Luo Wen finally couldn't help but say something for Yanli.

Chu Yong said impatiently: "That's because he moves too slowly. If he wants to survive, he has to work hard. If he can't even do this, he should just get out of here! It's not easy for us to survive, we don't need this Oil bottle!"

Luo Wen didn't speak anymore, but took advantage of the short break in the middle to quietly find the dirty Yanli, and whispered to him: "Yanli, don't work so hard, your body won't be able to bear it, the work below Son, you have to learn to be lazy!"

"Lazy? How to do it?" Yanli's eyes lit up, but he really wanted to be lazy.

Luo Wen leaned close to his ear and said: "Slow down your pace, don't hold too many things at a time, anyway, Chu Yong also thinks that you are slow, it doesn't matter if you slow down, we will have lunch together in a while, and I will give my extra points to you." Here you are some."

"Yeah!" Yanli laughed happily.It's just being lazy that made him so happy. Looking at him, Luo Wen felt annoyed and funny, so he couldn't help rubbing his hair: "Come on. I'll give you my gloves, or you'll scratch your hands .”

"It's okay... I'm not afraid of grinding my hands!" Yanli said quickly.

Luo Wen forced the glove to him, and ran away before Yanli could say thank you.

Finally when it was time for lunch, Luo Wen took Yanli to a corner where no one else could see, and gave Yanli the ham slices that were rarely seen in the lunch box. Watching Yanli eat, Luo Wen touched him The hair said: "You look like my little brother, if he is still alive, he will look like you, right?"

"Oh?" Yanli raised her head, with rice grains still on her mouth, Luo Wen twisted the rice grains with her fingers and asked, "Yanli, can you be my younger brother?"

"Yeah." Yanli nodded quickly.

"Then call me brother!" Luo Wen seemed very happy.

"Brother!" Yanli called out quickly - he really wanted a gentle brother!Speaking of the title of elder brother, he thought of a family of relatives he once lived in. There were two sons in that family, one big and one young. He knew that he ordered himself to do things for him, and he would be the one to take the blame for the brothers' wrongdoing.So Yanli still didn't believe it. He felt that Luo Wen was kind to him, so maybe he should do something for him by himself.

If he is useless to others, they will not care about his life or death.Yanli has learned this knowledge from the tortuous life of the past few months.

Luo Wen then said: "Yanli, you took good care of Xinxin last time. When we are not around, you can help take care of him, okay? He is the youngest and weakest child among us, and also the weakest. Poor one, you have to tolerate him more."

"En." Yanli nodded again.Sure enough, Luo Wen wanted to help him do things himself!

"Then Yanli can tell me what you need. When we finish work, we will go to buy some daily necessities. What does Yanli want?" Luo Wen asked.

Yanli thought for a while, then shook her head.

"What a boring gourd." Luo Wen patted him on the shoulder angrily and amusedly, "You are too quiet, you need to communicate with everyone more to make friends with everyone!"

"En." Yanli responded, in fact, he didn't want to talk to those children who hated him at all, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Finally finished a day of intense work, Yanli followed behind Luo Wen and the others in a dirty body. Luo Wen asked Yanli to go back to the orphanage first, because there was still a long way to go to the market from here. And the time to return to the orphanage is very short.Yanli then walked back alone, it was already dusk, and the setting sun stretched Yanli's shadow for a long time.He walked with his head down, kicking the small stones on the road, and accidentally saw many slogans and advertisements on the road, saying virus tests, and he also saw people in military uniform passing by on the road repeatedly in military vehicles.

Virus testing is an emergency measure recently established by governments in response to an infectious disease that is currently prevalent around the world. This infectious disease is called "God's Choice Virus", and its symptoms are similar to fever. Although the death toll is concealed by the government, but Now the streets and alleys are full of such virus testing institutions, which shows that the situation is grim.

How did this virus appear?Some people say it is a remnant of the war, some say it is a mutation of the virus, and there is no consensus.

But for a poor child like Yanli, it is not easy to survive, so how can there be any virus test?

Mo Yanli trotted all the way back to the orphanage. In the evening, Luo Wen took him to have dinner with everyone. With Luo Wen's protection, Yanli could eat at ease without worrying about others bullying her.

But he still had no place to sleep, so he squatted outside the bedroom door after everyone went to bed, quietly waiting for the night to pass.

"Yanli." Luo Wen quietly followed him, squatted beside him and asked, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

"This is where I sleep." Yanli stared at the floor.

"You've been sleeping here for the past three days?" Luo Wen frowned, "Follow me to my place, and I'll make room for you."

"I'll just sleep on the floor." Yanli said.

"Fool, you are such a little fool." Luo Wen stood up and rubbed his head, "Do you know that there are some things you need to fight for?"

So from that night, Yanli slept on Luo Wen's bed, and Luo Wen slept on the floor next to her.Early the next morning, Luo Wen repaired an abandoned bed with a broken leg from the warehouse as a place for Yanli to sleep.
