One Piece: The Long Road

Chapter 2: Earthquake

City H is a very special place. The city center is very prosperous, densely populated and very lively. On the left and right sides of the street are neatly decorated shops. Every few steps on the sidewalk, there is a green tree surrounded by a low square wooden fence. The square wooden fence is full of trees. The brightly colored flowers are extremely pleasing to the eye against the backdrop of the light. Almost every store has a lot of traffic. The pop music released in the store not only makes the customers in the store feel physically and mentally happy, but also makes the young people on the sidewalk hum along with the beautiful melody. The breeze was blowing, the leaves of the green trees rustled, and the flowers swayed gently, as if dancing with a beautiful melody.

This is a place where Wang Li has not been in this city for so long. It is not that he does not want to go, but that there is a force in the center of the city that he does not dare to go to. He knows that in every prosperous city, there will be a person who controls children to make money by begging. forces, and anyone found will be forcibly pulled into the gang. Therefore, the place where Wang Li is located is located on the periphery of H City, which is different from the bustling city center, but it is also a lively place. It’s just that the small abandoned house where Wang Li is located is in an area that no one pays attention to, so there are no street lights around for pedestrians.

Looking around, visibility is extremely low. If the moon is unfortunately blocked by dark clouds, it will be in the darkest period. Even if an adult is in such a place during this time, he will inevitably feel a little bit in his heart, and even worse, he will be afraid, because The scariest thing in the world is not ghosts, but… people

Wang Li was not afraid in such a place, because he had lived in such an environment for a long time and was used to it. Even if the visibility is low, Wang Li can rely on the impression in his mind to avoid the stones scattered on the ground. Soon, Wang Li returned to the small waste house.

“Huh, I’m finally back, I’m really hungry.” Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the friendly little house in front of him.

Pushing the car into the house and parked in the corner at will, Wang Li was not afraid that the broken car would be stolen. He struggled to move today’s harvest from the tricycle to the bed. The so-called bed was nothing but a pile of weeds, and the only thing that could get in was a black quilt. Wang Li, who stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat secreted from his forehead, only felt that his stomach was even more hungry, “gugu” his stomach kept protesting, his limbs were weak, and he was shaking uncontrollably.

“Belly, belly, please bear with it, you will be able to eat in a while, hehe.” Wang Li touched his stomach with his hand and smiled weakly.

Wang Li knelt on his knees on the ground, his little hands kept groping in the weeds, his eyes filled with desire. After a while, Wang Li’s hands felt a clear touch, his expression tightened, and he quickly pulled out his hand, but it was a half-eaten roasted sweet potato, the black skin was like charcoal, and rows of sweet potatoes could be seen faintly. Small teeth marks, the yellow sweet potato flesh inside seemed to be still smoking, exuding a burst of aroma, Wang Li swallowed, and reluctantly peeled off the black outer skin and ate it one by one. It was quiet all around, and the sound of chewing that was not so big was heard far away. At this time, it was the happiest time of Wang Li’s day.

In an instant, the originally small roasted sweet potato was wiped out by Wang Li. Looking at the black sweet potato peels scattered on the ground, Wang Li slapped himself, shook his head regretfully, and closed his eyes, as if Like aftertaste. Touching his stomach, he should be full, Wang Li thought to himself with uncertainty. He fell down and lay on the weeds, feeling uncomfortable on his back, he pulled up the quilt to cover him, Wang Li stared at the ceiling, his eyes widened.

“Old man, are you doing well there? Have you eaten enough? Are you warm? Why don’t you tell me in a dream? I really want to know, I really want to find you, this kind of life is so sad, I’m so lonely, I’m alone every night, no one talks to me…” Wang Li closed his eyes abruptly, he was afraid that he would shed a few tears accidentally, he didn’t want to cry. After stabilizing his emotions, Wang Li opened his eyes again

“Old man, are you having a bad life on it? You are afraid that I will be worried, so you never give me dreams. I really want to talk to you, even if it’s just a simple greeting.” Wang Li, who had just stabilized his mood, muttered. He muttered to himself, his little hands grabbed the weeds with all his strength, and because of the pain in his heart began to fluctuate again, his eyes were hot, this time Wang Li did not choose to close his eyes, and let the tears fall from the corners of his eyes, who is the emptiness in his heart? Know? He has always been lonely, except for the old man, he has always been alone, he is just a 12-year-old child…

As if the moon couldn’t bear to see this scene, it quietly disappeared behind the dark clouds, the silver-white light went from far to near, UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to have been touched by an eraser, and quickly disappeared, when everything returned to darkness , as if it was a wild beast with its mouth open, eating people’s hearts. The whirring sound of the wind seemed to be a woman crying miserably, causing chills to arouse. At this time, Wang Li, who was tired of crying, unknowingly fell asleep. He had a good dream. He dreamed that he was swimming in the roasted sweet potatoes piled up like hills. I threw away the sweet potato I took a bite, and then took another one, my face was covered with a big smile that I had never seen in my memory, and I was so happy that my mouth was pulled out of my mouth.

The dark clouds drifted past, the moon revealed its body again, the silver-white light fell on the ground again, and the wind stopped just in time. Under the ground, the earth pulse trembled, and the rapid impact was transmitted from the bottom to the top. The floor was already shaking slightly. Wang Li, who was in the dream, didn’t realize it, and continued his sweet sweet potato dream. Gradually, the shaking began to intensify, and the degree of vibration was not very large, but such a vibration was unbearable for the small waste house. Wang Li was awakened by a startle. He just opened his eyes when he saw a black shadow attacking him. Before he could react, there was a tearing pain all over his body, and his thoughts drifted away. The shaking stopped quickly, and the little abandoned house finally couldn’t bear the shaking, tilted, and collapsed, raising a cloud of dust. The windows of every household in the city seemed to have a tacit understanding, the lights were turned on one after another, and panic sounds came from everywhere, but it turned out that it was just a false alarm. Rarely seen in the middle of the night, the lights are as bright as eight or nine in the evening. It seems… like saying goodbye to something.

At night, the lights go out, and people who have a false alarm fall asleep one after another. For tomorrow’s work, they need enough sleep time. Who knows, in this world, there is someone missing…
