Ferdan's home is in the southernmost part of Jebeldan. It is a slum where all the beggars and orphans of Jebeldan live. A long iron net surrounds this place, as if it does not belong to Jebeldan at all. Outside the network are small buildings and spacious roads. Everyone has a gentle smile on their face, and they are so polite even when they talk.

On the other side of the iron fence, there are potholes on the dirt road, and feces are piled randomly on the ground. Everyone seems to have a vicious look. Even if they don't speak, the stench of their bodies can be spread far away. However, it is winter, and there are no flies hovering around. Other than that, everything is fine.

Feildan held the basket and handed it to a young man solemnly: "These medicines are enough for Malya to treat her disease. Remember, one pack a day. If Malya finds it bitter, add more sugar to her."

The young man nodded blankly. Seeing that Phil Dan was about to leave, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Phil Dan, where are you going?"

"By the way, when Malya recovers, don't let her lie in bed all the time. If you have nothing to do, do some exercise. Don't let the body-building techniques I teach you fall behind." Phildan did not answer the youth team's question, but asked himself Gu said, "Tell Malya that I may not come back. Please help me take care of her." His voice was bitter and mixed with deep guilt.

The young man did not try to dissuade him or try to save him. He only looked at Phil Dan's back quietly. This was a slum and everyone wanted to get out. No one would miss this place. This young man named Phil Dan was very strange. He is literate, which is like an independent genius in the slums, but he has never had the thought of leaving, maybe because of his sick sister, or for the sake of his brothers who get along day and night.

In short, now that he is watching Phil Dan leave, the young man does not feel any resentment, only happiness. Yes, he is gone, Phil Dan is gone, and leaving represents hope, but he seems to have said that he will not come back. This boy He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Phil Dan would give up his dependent sister.

But these teenagers couldn't care less. There was medicine, and if Phil simply said that Mallya could be cured, she would definitely be cured. And even if Phil Dan leaves and never comes back, the teenagers won't blame him. They just hope that Phil Dan can live like a human being, like a real person.

Phil Dan is not very old, even the youngest among this group of teenagers, but his calmness and wisdom that do not match his age make these teenagers convinced. Among this group of orphans, Phil Dan has always acted as his father's Role, as the old saying goes, elder brother is like father. Here, Phil Dan perfectly interprets this term.

The boy turned around the iron fence at Phildan until his back disappeared, and then ran towards the depths. His bare feet danced proudly on the ground. Mallya was saved, and Phildan also walked out of here. He wanted to Tell everyone this news, I believe everyone will be happy for him.

However, Phil Dan did not leave. He just turned around and walked a few more steps. He sat beside the iron fence absentmindedly. His shabby clothes could not block the cold winter in Jebeldan, but he did not feel cold at this moment. Facing the setting sun, Phil Dan prayed devoutly on his chest, purging himself of his sins. He didn't believe in this in the past. Although there were wizards flying into the sky and escaping from the earth in the outside world, he always didn't believe that God would come to free them. But now, he couldn't care about anything and could only keep drawing with his fingers.

He committed a murder, the first murder in his life. When he committed the murder, he felt no fear. He only thought of Mallya. But now, the emptiness after the murder was like dust sweeping across the sky, making him unable to breathe. He felt suffocated, as if a stone was pressed on his chest, and he had accumulated a lot of suffocation but could not spit it out.

Killing didn't have the pleasure that the storyteller said, nor the freedom and ease that the rumors said. He only felt scared, and he only felt that he was about to die.

In the cold winter, the thin clothes were already wet with sweat, but there was no feeling when they were attached to the body. The sweat on his body was still breaking out, and dense sweat flowed down his forehead. Phil shook his forehead in pain. He was buckled to the ground, as if he wanted to use the earth's generosity to make himself feel better.

But this did not alleviate his pain. The sweat was still flowing down his forehead and reaching the ground. Phil Dan could no longer feel that his heart was still beating. He felt that he was about to die and become one with the earth. , the soul has been buried underground along his forehead.

He was repenting, and he prayed that the person he strangled to death would not cause trouble for his sister. If there was any retribution, it would be all on him, since he was going to die anyway.

The setting sun finally set, and the young man beside the iron net curled up and knelt on the ground. The captain of the guard and his men saw Phil Dan from a distance, but he didn't recognize him and just thought the young man was stupid.

It’s such a cold day and I’m still praying here. Why don’t I go home to avoid the cold? But just in time, the guard captain walked over, bent down and patted the youth team on the shoulder, “I wonder if there is anyone named Phil Dan here?”

Hearing his name, Phil Dan finally raised his head. In just a short while, Phil Dan's cheeks were already sunken.

The eyes were filled with depression, and the soul seemed to have escaped from the body. Only the body was still here to suffer the punishment of murder.

"What did you say?" His voice was hoarse like a saw cutting through bones. Phil Dan seemed to have forgotten how to speak. He sat half-sitting on the ground, trying hard to focus on listening to the guard captain's question. He thought, even if Before death, it is also good to help others, hoping that it can wash away some of the sins that are all over the body.

The captain of the guard had to repeat: "Do you know Phil Dan?"

"I, I, I am." Phil Dan pinched his throat before saying this with great effort. Yes, they are officers and soldiers, and they should be here to find him. This is not bad, someone can judge him, I was relieved.

Phil lay alone on the iron net, and finally closed his eyes comfortably. The boulder on his chest seemed to have been moved away, and his breathing became much smoother. His soul seemed to have returned, and he was no longer a walking zombie. The depression is also reduced a lot.

I can finally atone for my sins, but I still can't see that person anymore. He should enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and I should go to hell. Unfortunately, I can't say sorry in person, but I can't be too extravagant. After all, I am a sinner.

The guard captain waved his hand, and a man walked out from behind. The thick shackles in his hands were wrapped around Phil's thin body. Phil tried his best to stand up. He didn't resist at all, and followed the guard meekly, his head bowed deeply. But he was thinking of his sister.

Mallya should take medicine now.
