I Live Forever in Memory

A small stone fell into the bucket, and the splash of water sprayed the girl all over.She turned her head to look annoyed, and saw two or three teenagers who were also plainly dressed grimacing: "Idiot!"

The girl was very angry, but said nothing more.He picked out the stone and walked away quickly with the bucket in hand.

Li Lin has her feelings and can feel the weight of the bucket.But the girl seemed to be used to it, and walked a kilometer or two with her hands in her hands, resting and stopping, and arrived in front of a small wooden house.

Before entering the door, I heard a man and a woman quarreling inside.

"If this continues, we can only sell the cattle."

"That's okay! It's the only thing worth anything in the house—"

"Then what do you say? Three mouths to eat, and I will make money alone!" The man's voice was higher than the woman's, "You are too sick to work, daughter..."

"I'm back! Mom and Dad!" the girl shouted, her expression was as usual, as if she was used to quarreling between her parents.

Li Lin followed her perspective into the house. The interior was as simple as the outside, except for the bed table and some pots and pans, there was almost nothing left.

So poor, he thought.Not only the girl's family is poor, but even the whole village is very poor.

I just don't know why, but from Li Lin's perspective, the faces of the girl's parents are very blurry.Almost to the point of not being able to see clearly.

"Put the water down! Don't be careful, you've got so much water on your body!" said the woman.

The girl obediently put the bucket in the corner of the room.

The man was sitting in front of the only round table in the house at this time, tapping his fingers on the table irritably, with the same tone: "...In short, due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the bridge at the south end of the village collapsed, and the village wants to go to You have to walk on a mountain road outside, and someone fell to your death a few days ago, so how can you go out and work!"

The woman said: "Can't you think of a way to let the people in the village repair it together..."

"How to fix it?" The man asked impatiently, "It is supported by a big stone pillar that was born naturally in the old life. It is a big hole more than ten meters high. Even if you can fly, you can't fix it. Don't be whimsical all the time!"

The woman fell silent, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

Li Lin listened, it seemed that the important road leading to the outside of the village was cut off due to bad weather.As a result, the livelihood of the entire village has now become a problem.

The parents complained non-stop, and the girl sat on a small bench in the corner, listened silently for a while, and then went out to the backyard.A ring was recessed into the wall of the backyard, and a trough rested under it.A yellow cow is tied to it, eating grass from the trough.

The girl leaned against the wall and whispered to the cow: "Why can't we fill our stomachs by eating grass like you. In that case, everyone won't be hungry."

Green grass is everywhere, but only animals can eat it.If people eat it, their stomachs will hurt and they may even die.

Li Lin looked at the picture in the girl's eyes and felt that this was indeed a very ancient era.From the houses to the clothes people wear, they all belong to the era of pure farming that is older than the world inside the wall.That is, the world more than 2000 years ago.

The old scalper let out a "moo moo" sound, and got very close to the girl, rubbing his head against her arm.This made Li Lin couldn't help but think of Historia again.The latter was also closer to animals when he was a child.

Compared with the young girl now, Hysteria also has a sister who occasionally comes to talk to her, but most of the time, she is still alone.

At this time, the screen changed, and the world in front of Li Lin's eyes went dark.

It is already night.

There are two small beds in the wooden house, and the girl herself has a small bed leaning against the door, barely able to straighten her body.The parents were facing a large bed on the other side. The room was quiet, and the moonlight shone through the window on the ground, making it extremely white.

"If not, send the child out." The woman whispered in the dark.

The man was dissatisfied: "What are you talking about?"

"I really can't afford it. Especially my daughter, who is so weak that she can't do farm work." The woman said, "Send it to the city, at least there is still a way to survive."

The man muttered a few words, but Li Lin couldn't hear clearly.Because he can only feel it with the girl's senses now, but being able to hear that means that the girl herself is not asleep.

Li Lin felt uncomfortable. Although he was a bystander, his senses were very real.I don't know if it's his own or the girl's feeling of being blocked in his heart.

Early the next morning, the girl ran out to the plain outside the village.When I went out, I carried a wooden basket with an ax in it.

There was a forest on the plain, and Li Lin realized that the girl was here to cut the tree.Or chop wood.It's just that most men can't do this kind of work, let alone a girl who is underage and thin because of malnutrition.

Li Lin knew it well, but the person involved didn't seem to be aware of this.He took out his axe, found a relatively thin tree, and chopped it down vigorously.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Li Lin felt that the ax in his hand was heavy, and his arm started to feel numb and sore after he swung it a few times.It was the girl's arm, but he felt the same way.

It would be very difficult for a boy of the same age to cut down a tree, but the girl had an unyielding tenacity, and it took nearly an hour to finally cut down the tree.

Then it took a long time to cut off the stems of the fallen trees.Putting them into the wooden basket, the girl hesitated for a while, looked at the trunk, and seemed to want to chop a little more back.But after touching his flat stomach, he didn't have much strength left.

Carrying the wooden basket on his back along the original road, Li Lin saw the man pulling the old ox out in front of the house.

"Father!" The girl ran over and grabbed the man's clothes, "It..."

"Don't make trouble." The man's blurred face lowered his head and glanced at the girl, "If you don't sell it, you won't even have money for tomorrow's meal!"

The woman leaning against the door looked at the girl: "You usually eat less, and you're not a boy, so what's the use of eating so much."

After finishing speaking, she saw the wooden basket behind the girl, came over to take it down, glanced at the branches inside, and cursed: "Did you steal firewood from someone else's house?!" After finishing speaking, she asked again before the girl could speak: " Didn't anyone find out?"

The woman's face was particularly blurred in Li Lin's sight. The girl seemed to say something, but she didn't seem to say it.Li Lin felt mentally confused, not his, but the girl's, and his mood fluctuated, causing his "sense of substitution" to begin to deteriorate.

The picture began to jump again, like a fast-forward movie, Li Lin was dazzled, and saw the girl ran to the forest again at some point.

Under a big tree, she was sitting on the ground leaning on the trunk, hugging her legs and crying softly.The wind was rustling, as if something sounded in my ears.Asking her why she was crying.

"Because everyone can't fill their stomachs." The girl said while looking up.

There was a blur in front of his eyes, and a huge shadow stood in front of him.Li Lin wanted to take a closer look, but the same situation as the girl's parents appeared. It was a blur, and only the outline of a body could be seen.
