God's Prayer and Nightwish

Yeyuan turned two alleys along the very simple signboard, and came to a small platform surrounded by buildings.A water faucet protruded in the center of the square, a large tank was placed under it, surrounded by iron bars, and a high-pressure water tank was connected behind it.Yewish observed it, and it seemed that the water pipe of Humorti happened to pass through the backyard of a certain family, so they connected a cheating secondary pipe to steal fresh water from it, and installed a pressure pump to prevent the water in the pipe from High pressure spray.

The sign hanging outside the railing reads: six pen refills per kilogram of water.

Ye Yuan did some calculations in his mind. According to the situation of asking the price just now, since it is non-drinking fresh water, it seems that it is not cheap in comparison with the price, and he does not need so much water per kilogram.

"Do you want to buy water?" Suddenly someone next to him spoke.

Nightwish was taken aback and turned his head in surprise—he didn't hear footsteps at all.I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing against the wall, and Ye Yuan recognized him as one of the children who had followed him for a while.

"It's expensive here, and it's all to deceive outsiders." The boy said.

Ye Yuan said "Oh?" and asked, "Then you are a local? How do you know that I am a foreigner?"

The boy smiled: "Of course, we don't have people like you here."

Ye Yuan didn't ask what "this" is, thought about it, and asked: "Do you know where there is cheap water? I just need a little."

The boy nodded: "I'll take you there, just a penny." Then he turned and walked forward.

Seeing his thin back, Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment, but chose to follow, and asked as he walked, "Where are you?"

The boy said: "It's not far ahead, see that gray round house?" He pointed to the front left: "It's right behind that."

Nightwish followed behind, and couldn't help but look at the boy—his arms and legs were extremely slender, but he could walk on the undulating connecting boards among the scattered buildings. Drilling and jumping in the stairwell, walking very smoothly and easily.

Ye Yuan had to quicken his pace to keep up with him, and asked again: "What's your name?"

The boy said, "Tengu, what about you?"

"Tengu? How could someone call that name." Ye Yuan was a little surprised, and then realized that he seemed a little rude.

Tengu didn't seem to care, and asked instead: "What's wrong, isn't it good? I heard it's a legendary monster."

"Oh." Ye Yuan fell silent, wondering if he had been away for too long and the master was still waiting for him.

Ye Yuan couldn't help asking again: "Where is the place you mentioned? It's been so long."

"Hurry up," Tengu jumped easily, jumped over the gap between the two connecting boards, and disappeared behind the gray house.

Ye Yuan quickly followed up, and when he turned a corner, he suddenly found that the Tengu had disappeared out of thin air.

"What...Tengu?" Ye Yuan looked back blankly, only to see Tengu standing in the dark corner of the corner, swinging a shovel in his hand, heading straight for the back of his head.

At the critical moment, Ye Yuan subconsciously bent over and raised his arm - the shovel hit his forearm heavily, and it took two seconds for the severe pain to reach his brain.

"Ah—!" Yewish screamed and fell heavily on the ground—he knew in his heart that he should open his eyes to avoid the opponent's next attack, but the huge pain took over his reason for a short time, stimulating him with overload on his nerves.

Ye Yuan folded his arms and knelt on the ground, and quietly reached under his clothes with his left hand to touch the electric shock rod. He was seen by the sharp-eyed Tengu and kicked him away.

Ye Yuan was sweating all over his head, he raised his eyes roughly, and saw Tengu's condescending eyes—a trace of cruelty revealed in the composure that didn't meet his age, Ye Yuan suddenly realized that the other party's real age might not be that young, maybe just Looked young because of malnutrition.Or maybe, on the dark side of Moon Shadow, judging a person's likes and dislikes by age itself is meaningless.The opponent was surprisingly strong, rushed up and twisted his arm, trying to push him to the ground. At the same time, a group of children also rushed out from all corners and jointly subdued him.

"Don't ruin your hair and face," said Tengu, "it's a rare blonde!"

That's why they followed him!Ye Yuan finally understood, and he quickly said: "Wait! What do you want, I only have this money on me, and I will give it to you."

Tengu squatted down, grabbed his hair and forced him to look up carefully, and commented to himself: "It would be better if he was younger, but it should be able to sell for a better price."

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Did you hear what I said? Do you want money? I can give it to you, but I don't have any..."

Tengu didn't seem to be interested in what he said, he had already stood up, turned around and picked up the electric shock baton that Yewish dropped.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan struggled vigorously, but his hands were cut behind his back, and three or four children were pressed on his body.no!The master was still waiting for him to go back, Ye Yuan's mind was buzzing, and he shouted loudly: "Wait! Wait a minute!"

The flashing electric shock baton was already close to his face, Tengu ordered: "Grab it well."

Suddenly, a crisp cry sounded: "Tengu!"

When Tengu turned his head, Yeyuan also looked up - it was the girl who was holding his clothes before!

Tengu only took one look at her and said, "Go away!"

"Yes! Go away, girl!" The other boys followed suit.

Although the girl looked scared, she still boldly took two steps forward and said loudly: "What are you doing? Don't dream, the donkey will not give you money, he is lying to you!"

Tengu glared at her angrily: "What do you know! We have already sold a girl before, if you make trouble again, we will arrest you and sell you too!"

"Why do you do such a thing," the girl rushed up and grabbed his arm, "you can go to the south with me, there are many jobs there!"

"Who will hire you!" Tengu waved her away, "What do you know, do you know how rare blonde hair is? Someone will rush to buy his."

The other boys also lost interest in her, yelling, "Yeah, get out!"

"Otherwise we're going to starve to death!" One of them approached her waving his fists.

The girl glanced at Yewish on the ground, bit her lip, and finally turned around and ran away.

Ye Yuan looked desperately at the electric shock baton approaching again in Tengu's hand, still making the last effort: "How much money that person will give you, I will pay double."

Tengu said "Oh?" and stretched out his hand: "Then give it to me."

"As I said, I don't have any money with me at this moment, but I can give it to you when I go back," Ye Yuan thought -- he would not blow you all away when he went back to find Mi Ao, and said sincerely: "I live close to the sea. As you said, I don't look like a person here. Our aircraft has an accident and is being repaired, so I came to the city temporarily to buy some things. You see, I have enough refills. , I will pay as much as you want."

The rest of the children looked at each other, apparently shaken, and Tengu looked down at him, as if he was judging a decision.

"It sounds pretty good." He squatted down and looked at Nightwish closely. "After all, my buyers do prefer younger ones."

Before Ye Yuan could be happy, he said, "However, experience tells me, don't believe any promises that cannot be turned into money immediately. Thank you for confirming my guess and confirming that you do not have a resident certificate here. You must know that although the police Worse than a pimp, but it's a lot of hassle to sell a real person, so that's fine."

After that, he stabbed the front end of the electric shock rod on Yewish's neck.

His first feeling was that he couldn't breathe at all, as if he was squeezed in the middle by an inflated sandbag, and all the muscles in his body were compressed.Under the uncontrollable convulsions, Ye Yuan's whole half of his body was paralyzed. The next moment, the weight of the limbs and the severe pain felt real with a delay, and a sharp stabbing pain erupted.

"Don't drive too hard, it will leave wounds," said a boy.

"Who are you!" cried another boy.

Ye Yuan's eyes turned black, she didn't even realize that the weight on her body was much lighter, and she passed out immediately.

About 1 minute later, he woke up again, but his vision was still very blurred, as if covered by a layer of fog.Nightwish tried hard to open his eyes, and tried to stand up with his arms up, but all the muscles in his body refused to listen to him.

"Do you dare to shoot?" In the midst of the dizziness, he heard the voice of Tengu: "If you shoot here, you will be sent to the electric chair by the police if you break through the pipeline!"

"I'll make sure the bullet goes through your bone first." He heard a familiar voice reply.

"Master! Master!" Ye Wish yelled in surprise, but no matter how hard he tried, his voice couldn't break through his throat—he was like a person trapped in a nightmare and couldn't wake up, struggling helplessly.

"You can't get away with killing us!" Tengu replied, "Don't shoot, I'll give him back to you!"

"What happened to him?" The master's voice sounded very angry, the pitch was higher than usual, and there was obvious tremor.

He had never heard such a voice from the master, Ye Yuan thought in the chaos.

"Nothing." Tengu replied indifferently, but Hiraji was obviously very angry, and asked again louder: "I asked you what happened to him!"

He yelled out these words one by one, took two steps forward, and pulled the safety catch of the gun.

"It's just a shock! You won't die!" Tengu said quickly, "And this is the electric shock baton equipped by the police. How did you get it?"

Not knowing what the master did, Ye Yuan suddenly heard Tengu yelling: "What are you doing! Stop! You will kill everyone if you shoot!"

Ye Yuan heard a burst of chaotic shouts again, surrounded by chaotic footsteps, stand up quickly, and open your eyes quickly!he said to himself.Ye Yuan took a deep breath, trying to regain consciousness, and then recognized the sound of the shovel dragging and sliding across the ground, and a muffled groan from the master.

Although the opponents were all half-grown children, there were indeed too many people. Hijiki stepped on one of the shoulders, and was embraced from behind in an instant—the left and right hands were restrained by different people. These children obviously It's not the first time to do this kind of thing, and there is a tacit understanding.At the same time, Tengu rushed over and punched him on the wrist, the gun dropped his hand and hit the ground, the safety catch bounced off, and a shot went off.

The sudden gunshot caused several children to scream in shock, and the scene froze for a moment—the misfired bullet accidentally grazed a boy's thigh, and the scene escalated into chaos when he cried out in pain.Hiji took the opportunity to step on the instep of one of the people behind him with his heel, then swung his elbow back vigorously while he was screaming in pain, and hit his cheekbone hard, the suffocation feeling of being hit on the face directly made him fainted.

His left hand broke free from the restraint, and Hisi suddenly turned around, blocking the child who was struggling with his right hand by the collar, and threatened, "Don't move! Otherwise, I'll break his neck!"

He did not see that the caught child had a pocket knife hidden in his sleeve.

"Ah!" Hijiri left him in pain, he took two steps back, the handle of the knife was still tied to his arm.The sharp pain tormented his brain, Hirasuke subconsciously quickly pulled out the knife, and blood kept gushing out from between his fingers.

Seeing this, the Tengu here quickly pressed the electric shock rod, and approached him step by step: "Stop struggling!"

Suddenly, he stopped moving, and Ye Yuan behind him held the back of his head with the revolver he picked up, and said, "Walk half a step further, or say one more word, and I'll blow your head off."

Tengu took a deep breath, and was about to speak, Yeyuan repeated: "One word! As long as you dare to say one word, I will kill you."

"Nightwish..." Sisi's facial features wrinkled together in pain, "Are you alright? Come here quickly."

Ye Yuan was not obedient - he still had no sense of touch on half of his body, and he had to rely on perseverance to stand up. He said to the child who was stabbed with Hijiri's knife, "You, stretch out your hand."

The child backed away in horror, shaking his head desperately.

"Hand out!" Nightwish yelled hysterically.

The child shed tears in fear, put his arms behind his back, and still shook his head, the Tengu said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"You let him stretch out his arm," Ye Yuan slammed his temple with the muzzle of the gun, trembling nervously: "Otherwise I'll blow your head off! Then blow off his left hand!"

"You are crazy!" Tengu roared angrily, "You want to kill me? Kill me! Kill us all, isn't that what you are doing!"

"Us?" The blood gushing from the master's arm was like red satin, covering his eyes: "Us!"

Ye Yuan asked uncontrollably: "When did we take the initiative to hurt you?"

He threw away Tengu, completely ignoring his back and exposed it to him, pointed the gun at the child who stabbed Hisuji's arm and strode over, screaming, "Stretch out your arm!"

The child screamed, shaking everyone's eardrums with high frequency.

The next moment, he was pulled into a bloody embrace, and his blood-stained arms surrounded him: "Enough is enough," Hiroshi said in his ear, "It's okay."

Ye Yuan breathed continuously and shortly like asthma, Hijiri broke his hand holding the gun butt one by one, and said, "Bring the electric shock baton here."

Tengu looked at him with lingering fear, turned off the electric shock prod anyway, turned around and handed him the handle.

After taking it, Hiuji wanted to stuff it back into Yewish's hand, but Yewish didn't take it. He tremblingly pressed his hand under Hijiu's wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

Hisuji didn't speak, and slowly raised his eyes to look directly at Tengu. The other person seemed a little frightened, and slowly raised his hand, signaling that he would do nothing.

Hiji put the electric shock rod behind his waist, held the gun in his injured hand, put his intact arm around Yeyuan's shoulder, and pressed his head to make him turn in his arms to face him.

"Get out," Hiji said.

Tengu frowned and glanced at him, then looked around at his companions—one was grazed by a bullet on his thigh, one was stunned to the ground, one was kicked in the stomach and moaned in pain, and one was completely scared soul.He didn't say anything more, and made a gesture to signal them to take the fainted person, and disappeared from the depths of the alley.

Day Si sighed forcefully, with his arms hanging by his side, and sat down against the wall exhaustedly, only then did he realize that Nightwish was crying—while Nightwish was crying, he tried to tear off a piece of cloth from his clothes , but helplessly with trembling hands, I couldn't make any effort, and couldn't tear it apart.

"I'll do it." Hiraji's uninjured left hand and Yeyuan worked together to finally pull off a piece of cloth and wrap it around the wound on his arm - the cloth was soon soaked in a layer of pink, but the blood gradually stopped.

Only then did he notice that Yeyuan's right hand was also injured—the place where it was hit hard by the shovel was swollen high, with a terrifying black bruise and a lot of bloodshot eyes. He became nervous and asked quickly: "Does it hurt?" Does it hurt? Is there a broken bone?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, more tears fell, and several water marks were drawn on his dusty face.

Seeing his appearance, Hiji suddenly felt a little nostalgic inappropriately, so he stroked his hair and coaxed, "I haven't seen you cry for a long time, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ye Yuan finally spoke, with a strong nasal sound, and the ending sound was extremely wronged: "Master is injured."

"Okay, okay." Hiroshi hugged him, "It's fine."

He was dirty, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he had a hole in his arm, and he was covered in blood.He felt that he had never been so embarrassing in his life, but he also carried a trace of luck and joy for the rest of his life.God knows that when he went to find Yewish and couldn't find him, and bumped into the girl who was running and yelling "Go and save him!", his heart would have stopped.

"I was scared to death." Hiji said, hugging him a little tighter.

Ye Yuan buried her tear-stained face on his shoulder, weeping silently.

After resting for a while, the two got up again and walked back—it was already past the dark time of the agreed return journey, so I don't know what happened to Mi Ao and Anxi.When the two returned to the square where they had received the tap water, they were surprised to find that the little girl was still there.

She sat guarding the bread and water left by Hiji, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly stood up: "You are all right!"

Hiji smiled wryly: "Is this all right?"

"It's great that you are still alive." The girl sighed sincerely, "I was afraid that your things would be taken away, so I have been waiting here."

"Thank you," Hiji said, and he took the canned tuna and handed it to her, saying, "This is for you."

The girl took the can with both hands and whispered, "Thank you."

She hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, she said, "Don't come here, it's dangerous, especially at night."

He was warned of the danger by a little girl who was only about his height, but Hiroji had no doubts about the seriousness of the warning. He nodded, took Yewol's hand, and walked slowly back to the original direction step by step.

The human voice gradually disappeared behind him, and the surrounding scenery became desolate again—it was dark, the road under his feet was hard to see, the numbness of Yewish's half body gradually receded, pain and exhaustion returned to his body, and some afterthoughts Sleep.

He rubbed his face with the back of his hand, and grabbed Master's hand vigorously.

Hiji turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong, does it hurt?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, he just suddenly understood something.

He originally thought that he was not greedy enough, and wanting to have all the masters was ridiculous and wishful thinking.After all, even the master himself cannot fully own himself—he has too many identities embedded in him, and each layer of identities divides up a part of him, leaving very little part that can be freely controlled.

It's like the master who could hide in the library and have a little time for himself when he was a child only after lunch break-he doesn't belong to himself completely, how can he be completely owned by another person.

It was only at this moment that Ye Yuan finally understood that in this gap of freedom, the other party really did everything he had left, and sincerely wanted to protect him and treat him well.

He protected himself from wandering, he provided himself with food, clothes and shelter, he spent a lot of time teaching himself literacy, etiquette, knowledge and skills, he tried his best, shed blood, and rescued himself from the electric shock baton, not For charity, but because that's all he can do, that's all he has left after throwing away his name.

The master also loves her, Ye Yuan suddenly thought.

It doesn't matter whether this kind of love is the kind you want, or whether it is the same love as yourself, its existence is beyond doubt.

This is enough.
