The feeling of rebirth is hard to restrain

Adrian's heart is desolate.

Even at home, no matter how much his brother taught him, he would leave room for him instead of beating him as hard as he is now.

His back pain was about to break, and he felt like he was going to die, otherwise how could his body be in such pain...

I don't know if his brother will be sad for him after he dies...

"That...uh... are you... okay?" A timid voice sounded above his head.

Adrian raised his head, and saw a girl with a rattan basket hooked in her left hand, her clothes were patched, and her hands were a little dirty looking at him timidly.

Seeing Adrian raised her head, she seemed to be taken aback, and stepped back abruptly, unconsciously covering her heart with her left hand.

"..." Adrian.

"You...you...are you human?" she asked timidly.

"Nonsense, you can be a ghost without being a human!" Adrian wiped his face angrily, "Did I take your place, okay, okay, I'm leaving now... oh my waist..."

"No no no no..." The girl waved her hands again and again: "I...I...I saw them beat you just now, so..."

"Thank you for coming to tell me that you saw them beating me, well, they just beat me, can you go?" Adrian said angrily, was it sad enough not to see him, and came to provoke him , the girl is not sick.

"No, no, no..." The girl said anxiously, "I...I...I'm sorry, I don't have the courage to stand up and stop them... The owner of that store is very vicious, and in fact, your money is enough to compensate... ...I...I...I didn't mean to say this, but... are you coming to my house? I have some medicine..."

"... Ladies shouldn't invite men home casually. Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Adrian said weakly, "You'd better go, in case those people catch up and beat you..."

"I...I also think you are a bad person." The girl said nervously.

"..." Adrian.

At this moment, he deeply reflected on his dress and appearance...

"But if you don't heal... you will die." The girl said, "I, I... you should come to my house, my name is Alice, I... I am not a bad person, my family lives in Prisso Street in the third district ... If you are worried, you can wait for me here! I will apply the medicine for you! Wait for me!"

"Forget it..." Adrian wanted to get up, but fell back to the ground after a while: "I can't walk..."

Alice hesitated for a while, then stepped forward to help him up, and with an effort, her thin body miraculously supported Adrian.

"You are so strong..." Adrian said weakly, "Don't throw me...or I will find someone to beat you."

Only Adrian, who is heartless, can threaten others when they help him.

Alice didn't mind his rudeness. She carried Adrian on her shoulders while chatting with him: "Because I go to fetch water every day...you know? You look horrible, I almost thought you were not human, Why do you dress up like this? Is it because you are too poor?"

Adrian almost didn't come up in one breath: "I dress like this because I'm poor??"

Alice said clearly: "Right? I knew that you would not be willing to throw away your clothes even if they were so torn. May I go back and help you repair the holes?... How many days have you not slept? Where are your parents? If you can't wash your face and go to sleep in the future, you can come to my house... I will secretly take you through the secret passage, and if you need it later, I will fetch more water and put it in the room... Then you can wash your face and go to sleep when you come here..."

"...No need." Adrian felt powerless for a while.

"Hey, you're welcome, my dad doesn't care about me, but you have to be quiet, my stepmother is amazing, let her know that I'm picking things up again, she will definitely beat me..." Alice said lively: " I often pick up some small animals and go home, hee hee, hide them secretly..."

Adrian: "...you're not home so late?"

"I picked some flowers and they were sold out just now, look." Alice proudly showed the rattan basket in her hand: "I made this, is it good? But it's cold now, so no one buys it after we finish it." it's..."

"You're not afraid of me now?" Adrian asked.

"Don't be afraid! Actually, you are pretty good!" Alice smiled happily, "What's your name?"

"...You think I'm good after we haven't talked a few words? My brother said I'm stupid, I think you are really stupid." Adrian hung on her and said meanly: "Is it so stupid? saved!"

"Oh, you still have a brother? Does your brother care about you?" Alice ignored his ugly words, asked curiously, and fantasized endlessly: "It would be nice if I had a brother, he would be very happy Love me, and then I can tell him if I have any unhappy things, the two of us depend on each other for life..."

"Not all brothers in the world are good. My brother is a bad guy who only bullies me." Adrian said, because Williams was not around, he wantonly smeared his brother.

Alice believed it was true, and said sympathetically, "Yeah, no wonder you can only wander outside... My younger brother can only bully me, often stealing things and claiming that I stole them. I have been beaten several times... "

As soon as Adrian turned his head, he knew the family environment of the silly girl in front of him. Although Adrian had a bad personality, he was not a bad person. Sympathy arose in his heart, and he turned his head sullenly: "I... am not a vagabond ...I will repay you..."

"Yeah, it's not homeless, it's just that I don't have a place to live." Alice said understandingly, "You don't need to repay me, I'll be happy as long as you heal your wound... I'm so sorry, I'm so cowardly, if I just walked out, At least you won't be beaten that hard..."

"..." Adrian was speechless: "You will only get beaten together when you come out..."

The people sent by David quietly followed behind them, and the short man scratched his head dejectedly: "Do you need to report this situation... What is this..."

The two chatted all the way, time seemed to pass very quickly, and Adrian didn't realize that he had walked a long way.

"Here it is!" Alice said happily, and then lowered her voice: "I'll take you around to the back of the house, there's a hole there! But I've covered it with garbage, so no one saw it!"

"..." Adrian couldn't think about it anymore.

Alice carefully helped him to a corner and sat down, and then cleared the surrounding garbage, revealing a cave that only reached about an adult's calf, and a fatter person really couldn't climb in.

Adrian showed a disgusted expression and turned his head: "I won't go."

"Don't be willful!" Alice patted him smoothly, "You need to apply medicine to your wound."

"Why don't you just go in and bring it to me?" Adrian raised his chin, "I don't know how to climb a dog hole!"

"Shh! Don't wake my dad up." Alice pushed him in. "Go, go."

"..." Adrian was pushed into the dog hole holding his breath.

The person who was following him crouched in the corner and looked his head, as if hesitating whether to follow him or not.

Back home, Alice even took her steps lightly.

The place where she was sitting could not be called a room, it was just a small dilapidated hut with several boards stacked up, and the owner could be seen everywhere carefully filling up the holes with broken rags.

"This is my little world." Alice said happily, "When I look through it, I hid the unused wound medicine before."

Adrian couldn't imagine that a place to sit alone could be so... broken, he showed an unbearable expression: "You... no need, you can go to my brother's shop and call for someone..."

"Your brother is so bad! What if he beats you?" Alice insisted, "No! You must apply medicine..."

Adrian showed an expression of stepping on dog shit: "Your medicine...don't say this, right? It's dark, I don't want it!"

"The medicine is very effective!" Alice pulled him over forcefully, and carefully applied the herbal medicine to his wound.

"Damn it!" Adrian was stimulated by the sudden pain and jumped up: "What kind of medicine are you? Was it prescribed by a quack doctor? I'm..."

Alice covered his mouth nervously, and gestured with the other hand: "Shhhh, don't make noise..."

"Alice! Are you back?! It's so noisy!" A shrill female voice came from outside, accompanied by the sound of clogs stepping on the ground: "Little | bitch | it's so noisy when you get home See how I deal with you!"

Another old male voice said impatiently: "She hasn't come back yet, didn't you tell her to go out to sell flowers? She hasn't come back yet."

The female voice was dubious: "Really? I heard voices in the backyard...couldn't it be a thief?"

Alice put her arms around Adrian nervously, still covering his mouth with her hands.

"Little|bitch|bitch!" the female voice screamed, approaching from far away.

The female voice seemed to take a few glances in the back garden, and muttered to herself: "I didn't come back, where did that little bitch go?!"

Alice breathed a sigh of relief as the sound of clogs went away.

"It's a good thing I didn't find out ~ otherwise she would know my secret."

Adrian's cheeks were flushed, and he stammered: "You...ladies can't approach men casually..."

"I'm not a lady, a lady is the daughter of those noble lords!" Alice said with a silly smile, "Be patient, this medicine is very good."

Adrian turned his head uncomfortably: "...you like it."

Alice helped him rub away the bruises, and Adrian looked even worse as time passed.

"Hey, you didn't tell me your name," Alice said.

"...Adrian." Adrian whispered.

"Oh! Your name sounds good!" Alice called out with a smile, "Adrian!"

"……Um."

Adrian's face was a little red.
