Chapter 70: Fragments of memories from the previous life
In that dream, there was no Nian Nian, no Uncle Mu, no Aunt Lin, and I was in that devil's cave, barely surviving...
One day, two days... One month, two months... One year, two years...
In order to survive, he struggled to survive. To fill his stomach, he went to the trash can and ate all kinds of messy things... To keep warm, he picked up paper shells to protect his skin, which had been exposed to the outside due to ragged clothes and was full of frostbite... In order to save his life, he learned to curl up and protect his head when he was beaten, and hold back a sound, just to make the people who beat him calm down and get tired quickly... In order not to be sold to a farther place for 1600 yuan, he coaxed those people with disgust, trying to make himself look obedient and well-behaved, barely exchanging for a brief peace...
1600 yuan is not even as much as the price of an animal... How can human life be so cheap...
When he was numb and no longer looked like a human being, dawn finally came... The den was finally busted by the police, and he and some other surviving children were rescued...
At this time, he was fifteen years old and had been abducted by human traffickers for twelve years. He had missed all the youth that should have been free, and missed all the desires to live a good life...
Those scenes were too real, as if the happiness of the past few years was just a beautiful dream to escape from reality... Gu Min didn't know what happened to him in the dream later, but just a few fragments made the childhood scars that he had forgotten, torn open again, bleeding...
So much so that even when he fell into a deep sleep, he couldn't help sobbing... as if he wanted to pour out the grievances of the past 12 years in his dream...
It was quiet late at night, and the boy's sobbing gradually became louder, so loud that the other three people in the house could hear it clearly. When Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru hurried to the boy's room, Mu Qingnian was already standing at the door.
Their family always values privacy, so the three of them didn't dare to go in rashly. They thought about knocking on the door first, but after knocking on the door, there was no response from inside, and the boy's crying gradually became sad...
They looked at each other with worry in their eyes, and without hesitation, they pushed the door open and walked in. Then they saw the boy curled up on the bed, his head buried deeply between his knees, like a trapped animal, whimpering non-stop. Mu Qingnian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurried forward, gently held the boy in his arms, and called him, "Brother? Brother? Wake up?"
But Gu Min seemed to be deaf and fell into a deep nightmare... His face was covered with tears, and he looked very pitiful, just like the first day he came to this family a few years ago, crying just as heartbreakingly...
Seeing that the boy's forehead was soaked with cold sweat, Lin Wanru quickly told Mu Fengting to get some hot water and a towel, then sat by the bed and wiped the boy's sweat. It is said that people in nightmares cannot be awakened by force, and the three of them did not dare to disturb him, so they could only call him again and again...
"Xiao Min, Xiao Min, wake up quickly."
"Brother...don't cry, brother...wake up..."
Gu Min felt so tired. In his dream, he had nowhere to go and no one to rely on. After being rescued by the police, he was sent to an orphanage with other people. But he always felt very empty inside, walking aimlessly on the street... He didn't know where the road ahead was, nor where his heart was...
In a trance, he seemed to hear someone calling him... one after another, floating out from the gaps in the clouds in the sky, with a bewitching power... At this moment in the dream, he had wasted all his good memories, but he still yearned for that voice...
He raised his head and reached out his hand in the direction of the voice, wanting to touch that tenderness. Perhaps the expectation finally overwhelmed the pain in the dream. Gu Min's eyelashes moved slightly, and he finally opened his red eyes and struggled to wake up from the nightmare...
Mu Qingnian was so anxious that she was in a panic. When she saw the person in her arms finally opened his eyes, she wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and hurriedly said, "Brother! How are you!"
Having just woken up from a nightmare, Gu Min's emotions have not yet calmed down, his eyes are dull and full of despair...
Mu Qingnian was the closest and quickly caught the emotions in the boy's eyes. He was startled. He hadn't seen this look in the boy's eyes for so many years since the night he first met him and was carried out of the quagmire by her... Was he... dreaming about the past?
The throbbing and excitement before going to bed, at this moment, turned into an emotion called heartache that quickly spread, like a thorn, piercing back and forth into the heart, causing a twitching pain.
Lin Wanru also noticed Gu Min's daze and interrupted, "Xiao Min, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Why are you crying so hard?"
Gu Min gradually came back to his senses and looked at his family members who were surrounding him with a worried look on their faces. The pain that had just pierced his bones seemed to have dissipated a little. He forced a smile, but it looked very forced because of his still stiff expression.
"Uncle, Auntie, Nian Nian, I'm fine. Sorry for disturbing everyone's sleep."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's okay, nightmares are the opposite of what they actually are. Don't believe them. Take it easy. Do you need your uncle to stay with you?" Mu Fengting didn't know how to comfort Gu Min. Although the boy had grown into a tall and strong man now, in front of him, he still treated him as a child who needed care. The child was frightened, so he, as the head of the family, naturally needed to spend more time with him.
Gu Min shook his head, his eyes wandered around, and fell on Mu Qingnian, lingering for a few seconds, then lowered his head...
"Uncle, Auntie, Nian Nian, I'm really fine, you guys go back and rest."
Seeing that Gu Min's emotions had calmed down, Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru felt relieved and called Mu Qingnian to go out together. But the moment Mu Qingnian stepped out of the room, he suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Min who was sitting on the bed. After thinking for a while, he quickly walked back.
Then, she leaned over and hugged him... Her hand gently patted his back. Gu Min was startled. The emotions that had just been sorted out collapsed again in the warmth he coveted. He buried his head in the girl's shoulder, his fingers unconsciously pinched the girl's collar, and his body trembled uncontrollably...
"Near."
"Ok?"
"...will you leave me?"
"will not."
As if feeling that this answer was too perfunctory, Mu Qingnian repeated it again.
"Mu Qingnian will never leave Gu Min. So brother, I am always here, don't be afraid."
A simple sentence, but inexplicably reassuring... Gu Min couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't met his god that night... would the rest of his life be just like in the dream, confused, desperate... dark and hopeless...
Or maybe, everything in the dream was real, and I suffered too much in my past life, so God gave me redemption on that night in this life?
