Rebirth of the Blind

The sky is still fully lit, and I feel the people around me squirming. It may be that the newly rising sun is too comfortable on the body, making people not want to leave the warm bed. But at the end, even if you don’t want to, you will Gotta get up.

Unkempt, twelve or thirteen-year-old children at most opened their mouths and yawned, and pushed the people around them who hadn't gotten up yet, "Blind man, why did you wake up later than me today? Don't you wake me up on weekdays?" ?” Seeing that the person sleeping next to him hadn’t moved, he impatiently pushed it a couple more times, “Blind man, let me tell you, if you don’t get up again, there won’t be any leftover buns left at the bun shop door.” Don’t look at this as the emperor In the city, there are more beggars than one, and many of them gather in groups, which is the so-called gang formation.

They usually send a person to stay at the bun shops before dawn. When the bun shop opens, they will stand in a corner, stare at any kind-hearted people, and pull a good Brothers put on a good show, or just surround that person and beg for a few pennies, no matter how bad they are, they can pick up other people's leftovers near the bun shop.

This blind man almost died three years ago in order to grab a steamed bun from those people. Fortunately, he was raised by the untouchables, and he had a high fever for several days without taking medicine. The sequelae, but it is lucky anyway.

The child swayed the blind man who was still unable to get up, and seeing that he hadn't responded, he kicked his ass a few times, which made the blind man open his empty eyes.

Those eyes, the child thinks, are probably the most beautiful eyes on a blind man's body. They are black and bright, but they can't see anything. It doesn't matter if you don't need to pay attention to them, but as long as you look at him, you can find them. His eyes were hollow, and his obsidian-like pupils were covered with a layer of dust.

And the blind man couldn't see anything except those eyes.They are beggars, they don't know how to take care of themselves, and they are disgraced every day. Apart from their eyes and teeth, what other beautiful things can they see?

Xia opened his eyes, it was as dark as ever.

"Dog, I'm sorry, I went to bed late." He didn't know what he was doing, he just felt very weak all over his body, and it was difficult to raise his hands, but he knew very well that no matter how his body was, he needed to get up Otherwise, I will be hungry today.

The child who called the dog pursed his lips. Even though he knew that the blind man could not see, he still had to put on an adult posture and imitate the tone of the son he usually saw, "If you know, why don't you get up quickly? Do you still want me to hold you?" Can’t you?” The dog grew up with the blind man since he was a child, and the blind man was two years older than him, so he often took care of him. After that serious illness, he treated him even better.

"...En." The blind man responded weakly, not paying much attention to the tone of the dog's voice.He knows about dogs, they are pure in nature, and they don't have much malice in what they do or say, at most they just think it's fun.

The dog tugged at the blind man who slumped from time to time, and looked into the crowd with his big black eyes to see if there were any ladies and ladies coming towards him.

Those ladies and ladies have always been the best beggars to grab, because they have a good face and soft ears. If you are lucky, they may reward you with a few pennies and some delicious food.

A few pennies can buy a lot of good meat buns, and you can buy an old padded jacket that others don't want to wear, so that when winter comes, you won't be shivering in place.

After placing the blind man in a fixed position, he ran directly to the steamed stuffed bun stall in front of him.

The blind man has had a quirk since he woke up three years ago. He was asked to find a quiet place. He didn't think much about it at the time, so he just randomly found a place without a shop at the front door. He didn't expect the blind man to be there. The site will not go away, and he will stay there for three years. No matter what the weather is during the period, the blind man will be there. He originally wanted to secretly take him to other places, so that the blind man can ask for more money, and he can relax. Unexpectedly The blind man thought he was dead, he bumped into passers-by along the way, and returned to that place by being insulted by smelling the fragrance.

Since then, the dog no longer bothered.

The blind man smelled the scent from the bun shop nearby, and his taste buds secreted some saliva. He didn't ask for money yesterday, so he hasn't eaten for a day. If there is no more today...

However, he is still very satisfied with the current situation. He knows in his heart that this is no longer the place where he has lived for more than 20 years. The capital of the country, not the Z country he has known since childhood.

He can't see it, and he can vaguely know that the clothes he wears here seem to be very conservative. As a beggar, he wears clothes that cover his whole body. Gou'er said that if he is a high-ranking official, the clothes will have more layers. The sleeves are all long, which is very inconvenient to do things, but it is very beautiful.

And from time to time on the back street, he heard other people chanting poems that he didn't understand at all, and discussing the customs of Ling country, and he suddenly realized that he was not just reborn as he imagined, but also time-traveled, into the mouth of an old man. Similar to ancient times.

Dad often told him that if he was born in ancient times, he would be easily caught and taken as a servant.

The ancient times in the old man's mouth seem to be that kind of status that can crush people to death. It is common for people with backgrounds to disregard human lives, and beggars like him are the easiest to be driven out of the capital when a plague occurs in the imperial city, or they will be burned. After all, it actually means that beggars are the kind that can be trampled to death by anyone, even the untouchables.

He didn't care, because even in country Z in the 21st century, his life as a beggar was worthless.

The dog is the person who was by his side when he woke up again.The dog told him that he was called Xia, and the literate beggar said that his Xia was named after Xia, because he was born with a disability, so his parents threw him into the beggar's den.

Xia, it really suits him very well, but he doesn't understand why after his rebirth, the eyes that were gouged out still can't see anything when he comes back, but it's not necessarily a bad thing if he can't see everything strange in front of him.

The dog is salivating at the steaming meat buns, but two meat buns cost a penny, if...

He stood there for a long time, but no one threw away the buns in his hands. He looked hungry at the little boy who was standing in front of the bun shop buying buns alone. The hunger that came over and over again made him want to try it boldly.

Seeing the boss wrapped the five buns in oiled paper and was about to hand them to the children, the dog felt that his chance had come, he pursed his lips, and rushed forward, snatching away the bag of meat buns , and forgot to run away as soon as he got it, he just opened the oiled paper bag, took out a warm bun, and took a big bite, the hot stuffing burned his tongue to death, but he couldn't bear to spit out the hard-earned meat Baozi, endured the pain, swallowed it, his eyes sparkled after eating the taste, and when he was about to take another bite, his ears were pulled up, and the pain was so severe that the owner of the bun shop was furious , "You little bastard, you dare to snatch my buns! You want to die! If I don't chop off your hand today, my surname will not be Zhu!"

Xia heard the scolding voice of the owner of the Baozi shop with sharp ears. He didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until he heard the dog's cry for help that he realized that the owner of the Baozi shop was beating and scolding the dog.He was still dizzy, but he didn't care too much. He touched the wall behind him, swayed and stood up, stretching his hands forward, "Please let me go, please let me go..."

He couldn't see the way, and the street is bustling now, so if he walked recklessly to the steamed stuffed bun shop, he would bump into some people, and he was also used to falling behind the moment he heard a shrill female voice. A mouthful on the cheek.

When he reached the steamed stuffed bun shop, his face was already scalded by the beating, and he tried hard to identify the direction of the dog with his ears. After the dog barked again, he quickly pushed away the person blocking him, and was caught by an unknown person. He tripped over an obstacle and fell to the ground, he immediately got up, and rushed to the dog that was barking again.

Hugging the dog, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The dog seemed to be frightened, and he just nodded his head, forgetting for a moment that the person hugging him at this time was a blind man who couldn't see.

People in the capital don't have so much time to watch. They all need to work for their livelihood, so not many people came to watch this farce.

When the boss saw Xia's tattered clothes, he knew that this man couldn't pay for the buns, so he became angry again, kicked Xia, and cursed: "You little beggars, how dare you steal your grandpa Zhu's buns?" , aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death by me!?”

Xia gritted her teeth and grunted, but didn't cry out.Years of experience told him that when someone hits you, you must not scream, otherwise the abuser will become more excited. On the contrary, if you have not responded, as time goes by, the abuser will lose interest .

The dog looked at the only eye that could be seen clearly on Xia's face with teardrops, and whispered guiltily: "I'm sorry, blind man, I can't help it." As he spoke, he burst into tears, but his ears could still hear The sound of the steamed stuffed bun owner kicking Xia one after another, he didn't know if Xia heard his apology, but seeing Xia's perennial purple lips draw a beautiful arc, the dog had a moment I had an illusion, thinking, even if Xia's complexion is the same as the color in the mud ditch, he is still a good-looking person, not much different from the young masters I usually see on the street.

After all, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop was tired, so he spit out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm on them when he was bored, and said bad luck, then went back to his own shop, rewrapped five steamed stuffed buns, and enthusiastically handed them to the stunned children , "Welcome to come again next time!"

Gou'er rubbed Xia, and burst into tears again, "Blind man, it's all because of my gluttony. I won't grab food again next time I'm hungry. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I might not be able to get the money today, let's go back." Xia knew that it would be useless to talk now.He is a person who has been hungry before, and he can bear it, but when the dog is growing, it is common for him to be unable to hold it for a while. He is two years older than the dog, so he has to bear more.It doesn't matter, he is durable.

The dog struggled to lift the flaw, who was not much bigger than him, and when he was about to leave, he heard a group of little beggars covering their mouths and sniggering, as if laughing at their own incompetence, "You——!" The raised hand was torn off by Xia, and the blind man looked at him with his dull eyes, "One thing more is worse than one thing less, let's go back."

Thinking that Xia's injuries needed to be dealt with, Gou'er glared at the group of beggars, and helped Xia to leave.
