Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

【Meow~】

This time it's my turn to be the cat.

You guessed it right.

The war was raging and the smoke was everywhere.

The strong and pungent smell made me cough continuously.

[Meow~cough cough cough~meow~]

The house collapsed.

It was completely dark and thick smoke was billowing.

I was coughing so hard that I felt like vomiting. My little body was bent over, but there was nothing in my stomach.

I regret it so much. My little master wanted to share a piece of burnt bread with me before going to bed, but I thought it was too hard and didn’t take a single bite…

So hungry!

What about people?

Where are they?

The collapsed stone slab was too big and it pressed one of my legs down, and I couldn't get it free.

Many people came from far and near.

Crying and shouting.

When I first arrived here, my mind was still full of Chinese and I had no idea what everyone was saying.

[Quick, there is still someone here, dig him out, I saw him moving, he is still alive! ]

A big boy with nimble legs and feet shouted loudly, his voice was rough and unpleasant, as if it had been rubbed by a sharp blade.

I blinked several times before I could see his appearance clearly.

So handsome, like the prince in Aladdin's magic lamp, with curly hair, big eyes and a tall and straight nose.

He looks familiar, like the big brother who helped distribute relief supplies in the refugee camp yesterday.

Yes, the young master taught her that he was the older brother from Grandpa Abdullah’s family in town.

【Meow~】

I stretched out my paw and called him softly.

My legs hurt, big brother, can you help me? !

The older brother moved his ears and looked over here in the direction of the sound. I saw the light in his eyes and my heart felt warm.

He raised his foot to leave, at this moment.

【boom--】

The ground shook again.

In the blur, a blood mist exploded above the chest of the big brother who was standing high up, and his raised arm also flew out and landed in a far corner.

[Meow——]

Big Brother——

My vision went dark and I was buried beneath the shattered building rocks from yet another explosion.

【Meow~】

Am I going to die?!

Where is the little master? I really want to hug her...

I don't know how long it was before I felt my body lighten and was carefully lifted up by a hand.

The owner of the hand gently cleaned the gravel and powder off my body.

I had wounds of all sizes on my head and body. I was grimacing in pain and couldn't help but stand up, with my hair standing up all over my body, which was so dirty that it was unbearable to look at.

She was wearing hand-me-down clothes that clearly didn't fit her and had a pink Mickey Mouse clip in her dirty hair.

She looks so sweet when she smiles, just like my little master.

[Uncle Joseph, there is a kitten here, so cute, can I take her away? ]

The man who was asked had a tense expression on his face. He was obviously startled when he heard this and gently urged her -

[Lamore, hurry up and follow me. We don't know when the next round of shells will come. Let's hurry up and see if there are any living compatriots in this area.]

The little girl was very happy. She wiped her face with her sleeve, revealing her fair and tender pink cheeks underneath. She picked me up with her little hands and stuffed me into her overly large pocket.

Just right, not too big nor too small.

It seems that my leg is going to be lame and I have no feeling in it.

[Meow~cough cough cough~]

I followed them and looked for people everywhere.

[Here, here, there's someone down there! ]

Everyone struggled to carry the person out, but he was dead.

[Here, quick, still alive! ]

Regardless of gender, they swarmed over, reached out, grabbed the man's arms and legs, and pulled him out.

A man came out, with a big hole in his head, his face full of tears and endless blood, his eyes staring fixedly in one direction.

The person is not dead, but it is difficult to save him.

Everyone was silent.

Even though I have seen many deaths and lives, I still want to cry out loud.

This feeling of frustration, powerlessness and resentment is so strange and desperate.

I was hiding in the pocket, and the little girl's running and jumping made me dizzy. I couldn't help but stick my tail out, and it was numb from sitting...

【Meow~】

Why go to war?

The little girl was standing on the other side of the injured person and saw something moving under the wall panel.

【Uncle Joseph, there are still people! 】

Everyone came back to their senses in an instant, and rushed to save people again -

It’s a matter of life and death, I dare not think about it anymore.

This time, the lucky one who was pulled out was covered in dust and dirt. She was a little girl about three years old. The original color of her skirt could not be seen and it was stained with some blood. She looked like she only had a few scratches.

【It’s great to be alive! 】

Yes, alive, and well protected by the old man with a hole in his head.

Only I noticed that the man saw the little girl open her eyes and shrink into a woman's arms, with a faint smile on his lips, his eyes completely dull, but not closed.

【Meow~】

The cat feels sad and wants to cry.

The search and rescue continues.

The death toll is rising steadily, accounting for the vast majority compared to the lucky ones.

With such a large-scale air raid and artillery bombardment, it is difficult for a flesh and blood body to have a chance to survive.

Everyone wiped away their tears and continued to work.

The crowd moved forward in small steps, and cheers of surprise were rarely heard.

Those who were close could even hear the people around them choking up.

【Meow? 】

My eyes blurred and I vaguely saw a familiar face, slumped on the side of the road - it was the old master with a particularly prickly beard!

In his arms he held something I was very familiar with——

【Meow--】

No, it’s the little master!

I burst out with infinite strength in an instant, kicked the little girl's chest, and leaped out -

The little girl screamed in pain, stepped back a few steps and fell to the ground.

She watched in surprise as the kitten ran away with its fur standing on end. Once again, the feeling of being abandoned came over her and she was still unable to recover.

【Meow--】

As soon as I landed on the ground, I fell heavily and screamed.

His legs were really lame, and he rolled and crawled all the way until he finally got to his old master's feet.

【Meow~】

I rubbed my head gently against his trouser leg, and the wound on the back of his head hurt, but he didn't react.

I climbed up along his legs, step by step, carefully, for fear of waking up the little master who was sleeping motionless in his arms.

【Meow~】

Smelling the reassuring scent, I tilted my head and laid on my little master's chest, just like I had done for many, many days in the past.

I rubbed her neck affectionately, trying to absorb a little warmth.

The old master finally noticed my presence. His broad, rough hands fell on my back. Without saying a word, he stroked me gently, with extreme tenderness and yet extreme strangeness.

It's a pity that I can no longer feel the unique rhythmic "bang bang bang" beating in my stomach.

I understand, she is not asleep.

【Meow~】

My little master, if I were to die, I would rather die in your arms.

The world is noisy with the roar of cannons.

People everywhere are condemning the brutality of the executioners and putting pressure on them to cease fire and stop harming civilians.

I heard all of this.

The fighting lasted for so many days that I lost count.

Countless people fell down, and countless people crawled out from the ruins.

Later, under domestic and international pressure, no matter how much money, effort and weapons the troublemakers contributed, the bad guys insisted on withdrawing their troops.

I thought I was dead, but I'm still alive.

The old master buried the young master properly and rubbed my head.

[Mimi, please stay with me from now on, just like you stayed with Emily...]

【Meow~】

I said, good.

One companionship lasts for ten years.

I watched the dilapidated houses and streets being rebuilt, and the roads becoming bustling with pedestrians and vehicles again.

The sadness and sorrow on everyone's faces were replaced by bright smiles.

I crossed my lame leg and lazily basked in the sun.

The world is hell, and the world is also heaven.

It’s so warm.

The cat who loved peace all his life and died peacefully has passed away.
