From Xia Wei's choked and intermittent narrative, Nuanyang finally understood what happened.
The original name of this small village was indeed "Huayu Village".
It was originally the most beautiful place in Shinan Town, but the plague ten years ago destroyed everything.
The uncontrollable disease continued to take away one life after another.
Huayu Village was completely blocked by the outside world.
No one could escape from inside and could only wait desperately for death.
Xia Wei and her twin sister were only six years old at the time.
The two children were secretly sent to the mountains by their parents and escaped.
However, their parents were imprisoned in Huayu Village again because they diverted the attention of the pursuers. .
The two children spent a few days helpless in the mountains.
They ate some wild fruits when they were hungry and thirsty, but they did not dare to take a sip of the water in the mountains.
Their parents had told them so before leaving.
However, after not seeing their parents back for five whole days, how could the two children not panic?
Xia Wei had been crying for five days.
Her sister had no choice but to take her down the mountain and sneak back to Huayu Village at night.
It's just that the beautiful village that was originally covered with flowers has disappeared, and what is left in front of them is a dry and defeated land, a land burned by fire.
The originally exquisitely built house was destroyed, and pieces of broken walls stood there silently.
The mottled walls seemed to have traces different from those of fire, and the color was dark like some kind of liquid.
Xia Wei was completely stunned.
She was just meekly pulled by her sister and continued walking, but was unable to make any reaction.
She even forgot to cry.
When her sister stopped, she realized that the two of them had arrived at the door of their house.
Fortunately, her house was not destroyed like those near the entrance of the village because it was located in the back.
Nothing was left, but there were burnt marks on the walls and the wooden door was burned out.
Xia Wei threw away her sister's hand and ran into the yard.
She couldn't wait to see her parents.
The six-year-old child was completely filled with fear at this time.
She just wanted to jump into the warm and gentle girl. crying loudly for comfort.
But what she saw next made her collapse on the ground, calling her sister and crying loudly.
The originally warm and cozy courtyard full of pink roses was gone.
The bees and butterflies were gone, and the fragrance of the flowers was gone.
All that remained were branches and leaves burned to ashes and the corpses of her parents.
His parents, who had once smiled so tenderly at him, were lying lifelessly on the ground.
Their faces were already blue, and there was a large gash on their chests.
The dried blood stained their simple clothes into a coquettish black and red color. , the blood left on their bodies stained the khaki ground.
Xia Wei collapsed and cried, despair covering every inch of her body and every nerve.
It wasn't until she was hugged tightly by another small body that the despair spreading from her body receded a little.
Her sister hugged her as tenderly as a mother, patted her back gently, and sang the songs her mother had taught her to coax her.
Xia Wei actually fell asleep slowly under her comfort.
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Thinking of everything she saw under the moonlight last night, Xia Wei's whole body was shaking.
She called out to her sister in fear.
She couldn't calm down in the room alone.
Her sister heard her voice and quickly walked into the house, holding wild fruits wrapped in green leaves in her hand.
There were only three in total, but all of them were plump and juicy, and they looked very delicious at first sight.

Although Xia Wei was very hungry, she was too sad to eat now.
She asked her sister if they had become orphans.
Her sister put the fruit into her hand, touched her hair and said, As long as she is alive, she will never let her sister become an orphan.
Her sister will always be more mature and sensible than her, her mother and father said this when they were still alive.
She didn't take it seriously.
Isn't it natural for a sister to take care of her sister?
Until now, she still thinks this way.
When she took the fruit, she saw her sister's hands were covered with wounds of various sizes.
She casually asked what was going on.
Her sister smiled and said it was nothing, so she continued to eat the fruit with peace of mind.
It was not until later that she learned that her sister had buried their parents alone in the middle of the night after she fell asleep.
At dawn, she ran back to the mountain to pick wild fruits for her and brought them back for breakfast.
She stayed up all night.
Xia Wei felt that she was still young, but she had forgotten that her seemingly mature sister and she were obviously twins.
Huayu Village has become uninhabitable.
Just looking for food is difficult for the two children.
Fortunately, there are wild fruits in the mountains in autumn to make ends meet, but what about winter?
Xia Wei didn't think so much, she just needed to follow her sister.
Her sister finally took her out of Huayu Village, and the two children with the same appearance came to Shinan Town hand in hand.
Unlike Huayu Village, the town was still prosperous and beautiful.
The two of them stood in the middle of the street.
Passers-by looked at them from time to time with surprise and sympathy in their eyes.
After all, the two of them had eaten wild fruits for so many days and had long since become skinny and malnourished.
Fortunately, With this appearance, outsiders would think that they are just ordinary street children at first glance.
Because of this, no one would notice them except for the occasional glance.
Her sister led her to the street and walked along the various shops.
The smell of food coming from the shops made Xia Wei swallow her saliva.
She told her sister without hesitation that she was hungry.
Her sister looked at her tenderly, then pulled her to an alley and asked her to wait quietly, but her sister turned and left.
Xia Wei didn't stop her.
She knew that her sister was going to find food for her.
After a long time, her sister came back with a steaming steamed meat bun in her hand and a happy smile on her face.
She took the bun and wolfed it down.
Her sister stood aside and watched her eat, as if she only wanted to watch her.
If she eats happily, she will be happy.
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Wei pulled half of the buns and gave it to her sister.
Her sister was stunned, but then happily accepted it.
Only then did Xia Wei realize that her sister was also hungry.
Later, I forgot that a few days later, an older man took the initiative to chat with them.
When talking about their life experiences, her sister lied and said that they were from other places and that there was a flood at home, so she left with her family. scattered.
Xia Wei didn't understand why her sister lied, but she didn't ask.
She only had her sister now, and she just had to follow her sister wherever she went.
Fortunately, the old man was not a trafficker, but the housekeeper of a wealthy family in the town.
Seeing how pitiful they were, he took them back and said he would arrange a job for them so that they would have a place to live in the future.
Her sister kowtowed to this man, and she kowtowed accordingly, and the old man became more and more kind to the two of them.
