Writer saves the world

He ran alone in darkness and nothingness.

A darkness longer than the long night where you can't see your fingers.

A nothingness that is more hollow than nothing.

The world is like a huge machine that is out of order, and the slums are the places where waste parts are piled up.Countless gear buttons and screws with unqualified seals have been lying on the assembly line leading to destruction since birth.

The gods have never cared for him, so he can only do his best to earn the next second that he can live and breathe, chasing and biting the thing called the future like a wild dog snatching food.

If it wasn't for the unplanned snow in the middle of the night, he should be able to do it - he has already inquired about the route to the destination in advance, and has recited it until he knows it by heart.Before he set off, he ate a few days of food to build up his strength. His younger sister was also very light and obedient, and never burdened him. She was as light as a snowflake on her back.

But when the snowflakes did fall, he realized how heavy and cold those light and beautiful things were.The snow wetted his hair, soaked his clothes and shoes, the chill was like needles piercing his bones, his lungs were frozen and he couldn't breathe, and every step he took was accompanied by heavy and hoarse panting .

The younger sister lay on his back in a sensible way, motionless, and her crying voice was as weak as a kitten, desperately trying to pass on some warmth to him with the same cold and wet body.

The pain in his body made his head dizzy, and only his legs were numb and mechanically scraped a path on the ground.

Go forward, go further...

Until he was exhausted, his body and soul were so dry that he couldn't squeeze any more strength, and he hadn't had a chance to see the outside world when the sun rose, and he had been swallowed by the cold despair spreading from the deepest part of his body.

The only thing he could do was hug his younger sister's young body tightly, and for the first time in his life, he prayed devoutly like never before.

God...

At least, at least let Little Silver...

……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke - this is his name, he wandered in darkness and emptiness for a long time before it suddenly appeared in his mind.He heard someone calling him from far away, crying like a baby bird calling its parents, guiding him in the direction to leave.

Little Silver...

Just calling out this name in his heart, his heart became warm, like lighting a match, briefly lighting up his memories.

Weak and immature, patient and strong, sallow and emaciated due to malnutrition, but with the most beautiful pair of eyes in the world——

his sister.

"Little Silver..."

There was a sound as thin as a mosquito from between dry lips, which suddenly woke up Nakahara Chuya who was sitting on the bedside reading a book. At the beginning of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's consciousness recovery, the whole world echoed with ping-cold clanging noises and blurred vision There is a lively orange swaying in it.

The color of the flame.

The instinct of living in the slums made Akutagawa Ryunosuke unconscious and subconsciously confirm the surrounding situation - he was lying in a neat and clean room, the thick and warm quilt exuded a reassuring aroma, and the tattered old clothes on his body Changed into a large pajamas, the bear pattern on the cuffs smiled kindly at him.

As long as you turn slightly to one side, you can see your sister who is curled up and sleeping peacefully beside her.

It seemed that everything that was struggling and suffering in the slums was just a nightmare of his.

The contrast between before and after waking up is too great, so it's no wonder Akutagawa Ryunosuke asked in a daze, "Did I die?"

Nakahara Zhong also sat by his bed, trying to appear calm and reliable because he looked older, and replied: "You are not dead, I picked you up."

He straightened his chest and introduced himself to his new friends, "My name is Chuya Nakahara, and I am eight years old this year."

After Nakahara finished speaking, he looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with bright eyes and waited for him to speak, and looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was not used to this kind of kirakira rays, feeling uncomfortable. After a while, he said coldly: "Akutagawa Ryunosuke Nosuke, seven, I will be eight soon."

He habitually reported his age a little higher, and insisted on a mature and sophisticated posture - a little older means a lot of things in the slums, even if he looks weak and thin, the extra two years can help him escape After a lot of trouble and provocation.

Nakahara didn't notice Akutagawa Ryunosuke's guard at all, he compared his age in his heart, and said happily, "I'm older than you, you want to call me brother."

It was the first time in Nakahara Chuya's life that there was a child younger than him. He couldn't help staring at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with anticipation, causing Akutagawa Ryunosuke's pale and stiff face to blush.

He couldn't see any malice in those clear and clean blue eyes, but the pure kindness and tolerance made him at a loss.

"..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's lips squirmed, but he couldn't really call his brother obediently and sweetly as Chuya Nakahara expected, and only called "Brother Nakahara" vaguely——he said it softly and softly Quickly, several sounds turned into an unreal ball on the tip of the tongue.

Fortunately, Zhongyuan Zhong is not the kind of brat who can't let him go. He is already very happy when someone calls him brother, and he is thinking of calling the first and second sons in hell who forced him to call his sister to show off, and then pull Akutagawa Ryuzhi Jie's hand, posing like a big brother, "Yes! I will cover you from now on!"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke curled up his fingertips, holding his tender and warm hand, which was in stark contrast to his scarred and frostbitten hand.He lowered his head and muttered an ambiguous monotone softly.

This is a child who is not in the same world as them, just getting a little closer makes his heart itchy and painful like a burn.He knew that there was no malice in Zhongyuan, just like those children who picked up the milk dog from the garbage dump and promised their destination and eternity with pure kindness.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke also knows that the dirty and smelly stray dogs will only be ruthlessly thrown out of the house by the adults in the family. It is an extremely kind charity to enjoy a full meal and warmth.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned his head away from the smiling face that was so bright that it would hurt him, and stroked the cheek of his sister beside him, the temperature touched by his fingertips softened his expression a lot.

"This is my younger sister." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said, "Her name is Xiaoyin... Akutagawa Yin."

Zhong Yuanzhong also made an envious voice, "You have a younger sister..." He kicked off his slippers and climbed onto the bed as he spoke, and also leaned over to look at Akutagawa Yin, trying to reach out to touch the little girl's face.

Akutagawa Yin, who grew up in a slum, was thin and small, with no flesh on his cheeks, only two lumps of cracked plateau red, and his sallow face was really not cute.

Nakahara Chuya looked at Akutagawa Gin and Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and finally made up his mind to pat Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the shoulder, "Your sister is my sister, and she will definitely become the best sister in the world!"

He encouraged Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was also unlovable, and said: "I think the inner nature of girls is more important."

Regardless of how long it took Akutagawa Ryunosuke to realize that Nakahara Nakahara also thought his sister was ugly, in short, Futaba Teimari and Oda Sakunosuke, who were eavesdropping at the door, let out two muffled laughs, which immediately attracted Ryunosuke Akutagawa's line of sight of 【Beware of Super Fierce.jpg】.

Poof, found out.

Oda Sakunosuke coughed lightly, came out from behind the door carrying the porridge, and asked without changing his expression, "Do you want something to eat?"

As long as he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

And just hearing the name Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Futaba Tingming, who started to raise the corners of his mouth crazily, knocked his head on the door panel before picking up his expression management again, showing the little beet that jumped into the vegetable garden that fit him The gentle smile on this face.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke...

Look here is a wild Akutagawa Ryunosuke!

A wild, weak and helpless Akutagawa Ryunosuke!

If Erye Tingming didn't swing his vegetable-digging hoe, the world consciousness would feel that his people had set up OOC.

Erye Tingming pulled up a chair by the bed and sat down, pointing first to himself and then to Oda Sakunosuke, "My name is Erye Tingming, this is Oda Sakunosuke. Chu also found that you passed out near my house , and got very sick with a high fever, so I brought you back, and if you don’t mind, you can live here until you recover.”

The weak cub Akutagawa Ryunosuke looks like a super-vigilant type at first glance. If he behaves too enthusiastically, it will trigger a stress response. It is better to keep the person first, and then take it slowly.

Erye Tingming's little abacus was crackling.

The world consciousness pinched him a face that looked like a good person, but it couldn't soften Ryunosuke Akutagawa's heart, and even made him subconsciously hide his sister behind him.

"No need." Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed his lips, trying not to tremble and hesitate in his voice, "I will have a job and a place to live, and we will leave when Xiaoyin wakes up... Thank you for your help and kindness."

Erye Tingming was not in a hurry, and patiently continued to dig holes around the little beet, "The garbage dump is not a place to live. You almost froze to death last night. What you need most now is rest. Run around outside in this weather." , even if you can hold it back, your sister's body can't hold it back."

"And no matter what kind of job you are looking for, it must not be enough for you to eat." Erye Tingming looked at the sunken cheeks of the two children, their condition was not as good as that of Zhongyuan Zhong when he just picked them up, and couldn't help Sighing, "At least take care of your health on my side first. I won't be able to afford the two children, and Zhong also likes you very much—he has wanted a playmate for a long time."

Zhongyuan Zhong also nodded his head beside him and said, "Yes, yes, you can stay here. We can play together and read books together. There are so many books in my family. You will definitely like them."

He held on to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and with a crackling mouth, he shook his family's property clean, "Brother Oda cooks very delicious food, and he can also cut rabbit apples. Can make money, and can buy us snacks and snacks! I, I... I also share the milk powder with sister Xiaoyin, if I drink too much, I will grow taller, and it will turn white and beautiful!"

"Sister Xiaoyin is so skinny and dark that she doesn't look like a girl now. Brother Oda almost jumped up in fright when he bathed her."

Nakahara Nakaya didn't realize that he accidentally exposed the embarrassment of Oda Sakunosuke's misidentification of gender, and he grabbed Akutagawa Ryunosuke's hand and shook it from side to side like a baby.He shook Akutagawa Gin who was asleep by moving around on the bed, and the little girl who was a little sleepy instinctively leaned towards her brother following her breath, opened her eyes and looked left and right, showing a small smile on Zhong Yuanzhong. smile.

She remembered this brother, when he ran into the house with her in his arms, he kept yelling at her to "hold on" and "don't die".She still remembered that her ear was pressed against the brother's thin chest, and she heard the heartbeat beating hot and powerfully.

With his younger sister's young and warm body next to him, Ryunosuke Akutagawa froze suddenly, and the words of refusal that he was about to say were also stuck in his throat - if it was only him, he could bite no matter how cold and frightening it was outside Clenching his teeth and holding back, but, but Xiaoyin...

The sense of crisis that saved his life countless times in the slums failed this time for some reason. It was obviously a place full of doubts that seemed wrong, but he felt that there was a place in his heart that was getting weaker and weaker, corroding him little by little. High vigilance and obsession.

"Brother?" Akutagawa Gin tilted his head, his small face shrunk under the quilt, yearning for the thick and warm quilt—she had never slept in such a comfortable quilt since she was born, and she was so soft that she didn't want to move.

"..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke put his hands on Akutagawa Gin's hair, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay..." He looked at Tingming Erye again with vigilant and distrustful eyes, and then glanced at Tingming Erye who was standing there and asked His cold-haired Oda Sakunosuke finally landed on his sister's little face full of happiness and satisfaction.

He heard himself exhale, and the voice squeezed out of his throat, "This is... the kind man who saved us." He forced himself to tear off the sharp and cold protective shell, showing a smile that was close to joy, "They said We can stay here. When I get a job, life will be better."

Erye Tingming said in a timely manner: "You don't have to be restrained, you can stay here as long as you want, and I still have this little money. By the way, where is the job you are talking about?"

He seemed to just ask in passing, and he didn't know the idea of ​​helping Akutagawa Ryunosuke resign immediately - hiring child labor and making the child almost freeze to death on the streets in winter, it sounds like he should be caught by the police.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed his lips, "Actually, I haven't gone yet...it's a bookstore called [Naruya]." Because he was concentrating on organizing the language, he didn't notice Futaba Tingming's expression that froze for a moment, "I heard Said that they are recruiting children who are willing to work, and they will pay the wages and take care of the food...I can’t find anything to eat these days, and the weather is getting colder, so I want to give it a try.”

Oda Sakunosuke keenly realized what was wrong, and asked, "Where did you come from?"

I liked how he looked when he picked up the child, at least he trekked in the snow for three to five hours.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke reported a place name, and Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help frowning, "You almost crossed the whole of Yokohama, no wonder your feet are worn like that."

When he mentioned this matter, Ryunosuke Akutagawa realized the pain in his feet belatedly, but he was used to enduring such pain, so he replied indifferently: "It's okay, it's too cold, actually I didn't feel anything, just a little pain at first."

"Then you still think that Xiaoyin will leave when he wakes up, and you are not afraid that his feet will really rot." Erye Tingming laughed, and walked to him under the watchful eyes of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, bent down and gave the brave child a Brain melon.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared at Futaba Tingming with a straight face, his body was tense from being attacked suddenly, if it wasn't for the fact that the bear pajamas were too weak and fluffy and had no attack power, he would have greeted him with [Rashomon] On Tingming Erye's head.

Erye Tingming ignored his eyes, and said, "This is [Naruya]."

Seeing Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression suddenly dull, Futaba Tingming laughed out loud, ruffling the child's gray hair at the end.

"Welcome to join us."

"Akutagawa-kun, you will lead to a brighter future here."
