Purifier

[I love you, just like the mutual love between two ships when they meet, there is an indescribable melancholy and attachment that you feel when passing each other. ——Pessoa's "Record of Anxiety"]

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Why so many flowers and balloons?"

The boy followed his parents and got off the car at the entrance of a hotel. Looking at the romantic and uniquely decorated scene, he couldn't help pulling his mother's hand and asking questions frequently.

The woman squeezed the boy's hand hard, and said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you that today is your second uncle's wedding!"

The boy pursed his lips, looked at the bride who was receiving guests in front of him, and asked even more puzzled: "Didn't Second Uncle already have Second Aunt?"

"Isn't your second aunt dead? This is the new second aunt." The woman became very angry. For this "abnormal" son, she had already lost the maternal love that a mother should have, let alone her Now she is pregnant with her second child, and pregnant women have always had a bad temper.

The boy didn't notice his mother's annoyed tone, because his parents had been talking to him like this since he could remember, and he continued: "The second aunt is not dead, I just saw her last night, she, she said, the second uncle If married, she would..."

"Shut up! If you continue to talk nonsense, come home tonight and see if I don't beat you to death!" The boy's father couldn't bear it any longer. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and raised his hand to pinch the boy's face.Until now, he still couldn't believe that this little bastard who always liked to talk crazy was his son. How could he give birth to such a freak!

The boy covered his pinched red face, lowered his head in grievance, said nothing more, held his mother's hand tightly, and entered the hotel auditorium.

At twelve noon, the wedding ceremony begins.

The man in the groom's gown led a young and beautiful woman 10 years younger than him, and walked to the front desk with the wedding march.

It is also a skill to be able to make the second marriage so grand, especially for a scumbag like the groom who forced his wretched wife to win the mistress.

However, what can relatives and friends blame? Everyone turned a blind eye, and the wedding scene still heard cheers and the crackling of balloons, and the scene was jubilant and lively.

At the table near the window for the man's relatives and friends, the boy suddenly pointed to the wedding stage and said, "Look, Second Aunt is also on it!"

The words shocked everyone, and the relatives at the same table turned their heads to stare at the restless child. The astonished and frightened expressions on their faces were enough to prove the lethality of the words just now.

The child is sick again.

What the hell!

Don't take sick children out.

……

The mother sitting next to the boy can imagine their mental activities at this time just by the look in the eyes of relatives and friends. A woman who gave birth to a "weird child" is indeed despised, so she will get pregnant again and give birth to a new baby , to prove that it's not me who has the problem, who doesn't want to have a good child!

But the boy didn't realize that he had committed a big taboo, his eyes widened, he grabbed his mother's hand and shook it desperately, and shouted: "Mom, Second Aunt is going to kill Second Uncle!"

With a loud "snap", the woman slapped her son easily.

The wedding music stopped abruptly at this time, and was replaced by a creepy sound, as if the bones and muscles were being twisted, creaking, and then there was a "boom"!

There was a moment of silence at the scene. Some of the guests covered their eyes and some covered their ears, staring blankly at the bloody wedding stage that had turned into an altar.I saw that the groom was suddenly decapitated!The head rolled down to the side of the fainted bride like a rubber ball.

"Ah~~~"

There were screams, the crowd fled in all directions, and the scene was chaotic.

In a panic, the boy tugged at his mother's hand. There was no expression of fear on his face. He just looked at his mother and comforted her, saying, "Mom doesn't cry, it's the second aunt who did it."

After hearing this, the woman broke down even more, knelt on the ground and shook the boy's shoulders, crying and shouting: "Stop talking... please... how could I give birth to a monster like you... how could..."

The boy seemed to understand, but just wiped his mother's tears with his little hands, and said softly: "Mom, I'm not a monster, I will be good."

-

At night, the room was so quiet and cold.

The boy knocked on the door that was locked from the outside, and instead of crying, he just shouted in a dry voice, "Mom and Dad, I'm hungry! I want to eat!"

The wedding banquet at noon was ruined, and the boy was locked in the room after returning home with his parents. There was no drip of water, no grain of rice, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

He didn't know that his parents were discussing "big plans" in the living room.

The woman leaned on the sofa and cried to her husband: "Wuuu... You have seen what happened today, this child is hopeless, hell all day long! With him around, accidents always happen! What should I do in the future... ..."

"What should I do!" The man smoked one cigarette after another, puffing and cursing, "Damn it, who told you to have a crazy son! Let me tell you, you have this in your stomach now, don't let it go!" Make a fool of him again!"

The woman cried even more: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Le L L L L L U It's polluted... you should think of a way!"

"How?" The man pressed the button and smoked a regular cigarette, "Do you want me to throw away my son?"

As soon as these words came out, the husband and wife looked at each other for a long time, and read the same message from each other's eyes. An unspeakable conspiracy was already brewing between their eyes.

The two sighed at the same time.The man got up, took the key to open the bedroom door, hugged the son who jumped up, and coaxed: "Hungry? Dad will take you out for dinner, okay?"

"Hmm!" The boy hugged his father tightly, and it has been a long time since he was so close in his memory.

Before going out, the boy looked at his mother with his back turned and asked, "Isn't mom going?"

"Hurry up!" The woman was so tired of this strange son that she didn't even want to see him for the last time.

If the boy knows that leaving is a farewell, and even the relevant memories will be deleted, he will not step out of the house even if he starves to death. If he can stay with his parents, if he can not be rejected, he will work hard. Be dumb and stop saying things that make your parents hate you.

But he doesn't know, he doesn't know why he was beaten and scolded by his parents, he doesn't know why he always sees things that others can't see, and now he is sitting in the co-pilot, he doesn't know why it takes so long to sit in the car for a meal, What's more, he didn't know that his father secretly took him to another city overnight.

Until three o'clock in the morning, when he was coaxed out of the car by his father in a dark alley, he still didn't know when he could eat.Even when his father put on his gloves and held a brick, walked around behind him, and mercilessly hit his little head on his head, he still didn't know why his head suddenly hurt, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

When the boy woke up, the sun was already drying his ass.

He nestled in a corner of an alley, surrounded by rubbish, flies buzzing around him, and his body smelled stinky, and there was a small painful lump at the back of his head, and the blood had coagulated.

He struggled to get up from the ground, tired and hungry.Looking out from the alley, he saw a completely strange city and strange pedestrians, and he was also strange to himself.The two hits last night, although not fatal, caused him to have a concussion. In addition to affecting his intellectual development, his memory was also damaged.

He doesn't remember who he is or who his parents are, and the most obvious feeling now is that he is hungry.He walked limply for two steps, but fell to the ground again. He had no strength or energy. He just wanted to open his mouth to eat, otherwise he would starve to death. He didn't want to die.

"Hey~"

Just when the boy was lying on the ground limply, he felt something very moist licking his lips.He opened his eyes and saw a skinny dog ​​only a foot long.

The dog had purple eyes, and the boy found that there was a feeling in its body that was very similar to his own, as if they were the same kind, and the only one he had seen so far, which made him shed tears that he had not seen for a long time. He had the illusion that he was no longer alone in this life.

After the puppy licked the boy's lips, he ran to the garbage dump behind him, took out a steamed stuffed bun that someone else had eaten, and put it in front of him.

The boy seemed to have gained a force from the puppy's licking. Although it was weak, it allowed him to struggle to sit up.He took the bun and sniffed it, handed it to the dog, and said, "It stinks, smell it."

The little dog stretched out a front leg and pushed the boy's hand back. Its big purple eyes seemed to say: Eat quickly, or you will starve to death.

The boy closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and devoured the bun.Sure enough, there was a bit of food in his belly, and his body was no longer as weak as before. He stood up holding the puppy, patted the dust off his body, walked out of the alley and mixed into the crowd, and began a wandering life of one person and one dog.

That year, the boy was nameless, less than one meter tall, and less than four years old. He worked as a beggar in a city where no one knew him, just to feed himself and his puppy.

Squatting in front of KFC and waiting for chicken bones, picking up some leftovers from the bucket in front of the snack bar, looking for old clothes thrown away by others in the garbage warehouse, spreading out a small nest under the overpass and sleeping in it with the dog, Just like other homeless people begging along the street with a rotten bowl...

He thought that he might grow up like this in his life, until one day two men in police uniforms stood in front of him, looked down at him, and said with a straight face: "Where did you come from, take away!"

When he arrived at the orphanage in a police car, the boy was still holding the puppy, and was taken to the head of the orphanage by the police.

The chubby aunt lowered her head and said with a friendly smile, "My little friend, dogs are not allowed here."

The boy hugged the puppy tightly and turned around to leave, but was grabbed by the police. The dog jumped out of his arms, wagging its tail at him, and its big purple eyes were watery, as if it was about to shed tears.The boy reached out to hug him, but the puppy whined and ran away without looking back.

Seeing the puppy running farther and farther, the boy burst into tears, crying more sadly than when he was hungry.

"Good boy." Auntie Dean rubbed his dirty face, "Stop crying, this will be your home from now on. What's the kid's name?"

"Woooooo..." the boy cried and said, "No name..."

"Then let's call him Xiao Ming." The dean said.

The boy wiped away his tears with his dirty black cuffs, sucked back his nose, and muttered the name "Xiao Ming" in his heart. He finally had a name, and then smiled through his tears.

An idiot is an idiot, he doesn't know that "Xiao Ming" is a collective name for all boys without names, just like "Xiaohong", it is just a common code name.

There are many boys named Xiao Ming in the world, and they share this title, waiting for the destined person to separate them from the whole and become unique existences.
