Chapter 3(2/2)
I sucked the air with thick smoke and finally came alive, but choked me so hard that I almost coughed out my lungs.
The old knife fell to the ground screaming and covered his face with both hands. I saw a dagger inserted in his left eye!
And the dagger is still held in my hand and kept tightly! I was extremely frightened and looked carefully. I widened my eyes and found that the person holding the dagger turned out to be a child.
I was so surprised that I opened my mouth wide. Isn’t that child the one I have let go?
In the firelight, I saw his childish and beautiful face clearly. There was no fear in his deep eyes, only decisiveness and perseverance!
He held the dagger with both hands, and his feet tightly clamped the old knife's neck at the same time. The latter was so painful that he could not get rid of the child for a while, so he could only roll back and forth on the ground and howl.
The child did not escape, but hid in the dark and waited for the opportunity, and blinded the enemy's eyes with one knife! How much courage, calm mind and forbearance would it take? I was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, most of the flower hall had been swallowed by the fire, and the ruins were still falling. The places where they could move were getting smaller and smaller. No matter how the old knife rolled wildly, the child was as unmoved as if he was stuck to him. Although their bodies were already covered with fire and their clothes began to burn, they also had no intention of letting go.
"Little bastard, a scattered dog, I'm going to kill you!" Lao Daozhe kept howling and cursing. As he rolled, he was like a blood man, but he was still struggling to death.
I stayed there for a moment and didn't know what to do. I suddenly saw the child's eyes staring at me. I felt that the look was like a cold awl, which suddenly pierced into my heart, making me feel excited.
I suddenly came to my senses, then grabbed the knife and rushed towards them.
He used all my strength to stab the old knife handle's waist and ribs. He screamed again and instinctively reached out to grab me. As soon as he let go, the child immediately pulled out the dagger and then inserted it into his throat accurately.
Lao Dao kicked his feet around, and blood kept coming out of his throat. One of his one-eyed eyes looked at the child in horror and despair, and then his body gradually stopped moving.
He finally died.
The child crawled down from the body, sat on the side and began to exhale, while shooting out the fire on his clothes.
I also sat down while breathing desperately while watching him.
The two children were silent, but looked at each other and smiled in silence.
But after laughing, we started to cry because we all realized that we could not survive and were about to be buried in the fire.
Even if they just worked together to kill a damn evil man, they were just two children after all.
"Are you afraid of death?" the child asked me in tears.
My heart was so chaotic that I shook my head and nodded, and replied, "I used to be very scared, but then I was not afraid... But now I am about to be burned to death by fire, and I seem to be starting to be afraid..." As I said, tears fell out without any effort.
The child hugged his head and shrank there, looking at the storm of fire beside him, and his eyes showed a look of fear. But he gritted his teeth and said, "I...I'm not afraid. This is my home, and my parents are all here...Woooooo..."
"Why didn't you leave?" I asked him.
The child's eyes suddenly became very firm. He said, "I had already run out, but I thought that you said that my parents had been killed by them, so I didn't want to escape. I wanted to avenge them! So I came back quietly to hide, but I didn't expect that you didn't leave, just to burn them to death..."
My heart trembled. I didn't expect that he would have such great courage and determination to return just to avenge his parents.
Our purpose is the same.
I couldn't help but look at the house that had been almost completely burned, and felt sad, and lowered my head and said, "I'm sorry, I burned your house. But I also want to avenge my parents."
The child sobbed, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, if it weren't for the fire you set, I wouldn't have avenged my parents." He suddenly looked at me and continued, "We're going to die together, and I don't know what your name is."
"My name is Shen Mo." He said his name to me.
My desperate heart began to feel a little warm. I smiled hard and said my name to him, "My name is Xiao Yi."
This seemed to be the last farewell for the two children.
With the continuous spread of fire, our breathing was gradually difficult and our minds had become blurred. But I felt a little relieved because at the time of death, there was another person who was not an enemy to accompany me.
If we still have time, I will treat him as friends.
But we have no time, and death is about to come.
In a daze, I felt him approaching me, and then grabbed my hand. I felt his hand trembling, and then we both hugged each other tightly.
Perhaps no one in this world is not afraid of death, right?
[In the deep snow that night that winter, in a mansion burned by fire, there was a man walking in the courtyard without wind and snow, and he shook his head and sighed when he looked at the blazing fire in the courtyard.
He wandered in the flames, and the thick smoke and flames were rolling back and forth beside him as if they were encountering strong winds. When he saw two children hugging each other tightly in the sea of fire, his eyes suddenly lit up.
