At this moment, in a dilapidated and low peasant house in Chengzhong Village, Chengbei District, Yang Yiyao, who was selected as the subject of the experiment by Chen Li, was sitting upright on a small stool at the door, quietly basking in the sun, enjoying her rare warm time.

She carefully took off the eye mask from her face, tried hard to open her eyes, and turned her face to the direction of the sun shining from her skin, as if she wanted to use the non-existent eyeball to capture a ray of light.

But it was obviously futile, and in fact, the light in her life had disappeared from that fire two years ago.

Both of her parents were killed. When the firefighters rescued them, her eyes were already blinded by the strong stimulation of smoke. At that time, she didn't know what this meant, such as blindness and death, and there was no complete concept in her heart.

She would just hold her mother's body and not let go. When she identified and told her that "mom is gone", she cried and shouted that her mother was still hot.

If you are dead, your body should be cold, right?

This is the shallow knowledge she learned from TV.

----In this era of information explosion, children of her age matured earlier than their peers in the previous decade, but the early ones were limited.

She spent a month accepting the results she could no longer see, because at most it was just walking less and moving less, but it took her a full six months to accept the fact that her parents were absent.

At the beginning, she would subconsciously call her mother when she heard the alarm clock wake up, and shout "Mom Turn on the light" over and over again; she would stumble out of the door when she heard the sound of a car whistle coming from outside the door, and she would have smashed herself into pieces several times; but more often, she would vent her irritable temper like a child, and she would leave the caregiver arranged by the community one after another.

It is precisely because of this that her adoption procedures have been delayed.

Who would be willing to accept a naughty child who would smash the things at home every moment? That little bit of compassion and empathy for the weak will soon be consumed in almost endless torture.

In the end, only her brother, the child who was also underage, was left by her side.

My brother always comforted her, told her the story of Helen Keller, taught her to know the room she lived in from scratch, taught her to dress herself, bathe herself, and even taught her to use a blind-mode smartphone and "watch" the cartoons she once liked on her phone.

Two whole years passed, and she finally began to become docile and finally learned to sit quietly and wait when there was no one. For a little girl who was less than 7 years old, even a healthy person could be considered valuable.

The sunlight mixed with the hot wind blew across Yang Yiyao's face. She felt something gently brushing across her face, so she curiously grabbed the thing with her hands. Then she found that it was just her hair.

She rolled up a strand of hair with her fingers, then pulled it tightly, feeling the slightly tingling touch from her scalp. This touch made her feel a little novel, but after playing for a while, she lost interest.

She let go of her hair, groped with her hands to support the wall beside her, and walked to the left along the base of the wall.

If you take a few more steps, you will encounter a bicycle that will always be parked there. Be careful to go around it. The most important thing is not to be hit by the bicycle's pedals.

After bypassing the bicycle, you must keep your nerves and trampling on the small pit left behind for years. The pit accumulates dirty water from neighbors. If your shoes are dirty, your brother will criticize himself again.

After walking around the puddle, the wall at hand suddenly disappeared, so she knew that she had arrived at the home of the old man called "Second Uncle", and there was also a pungent smell of tobacco in her nose. As soon as she smelled this tobacco smell, she remembered the feeling of the stubble on the second man's face tugging on her face.

She didn't like the second uncle to prick herself with stubble, but fortunately, he has stopped doing this in the past two years. Only when he brought snacks to his house occasionally would he pinch his face with his rough fingers, and then say, "The scar on Nannan's face is so shallow, and she will be a handsome girl again after two years of growth."

What is scar? What is a handsome girl?

She had no idea about these two words, but the chocolate brought back by the second uncle was delicious.

Just as she stretched out her arms and adjusted her body balance and wanted to walk past the second uncle's door, the second uncle's voice suddenly came from her ears:

"Yaoyao, where are you going? That hand stretched out like a little zombie!"

When she heard the second uncle's voice, she was stunned, then subconsciously turned around and replied to the door of her consciousness:

"Second uncle, I'll go to the patio to play."

"What are you going to the courtyard to play? There are street stalls there, beating drums and drums, and I will kidnap you later. Come here! Come on, Mr. Second, Mr. Second, bring you chocolates!"

Hearing the second uncle's words, Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally groped and turned around.

Seeing her movements, the second uncle said with satisfaction:

"Oh, that's right. Come, come over and hear my voice? Do you know where I am? Yes, come, keep going!"

Yaoyao listened carefully to the other person's voice and moved carefully step by step. When her hand touched the stubble on the other person's face, she couldn't help laughing.

"Second uncle, beard!"

"Hahahahaha, it's the beard. Yaoyao is getting smarter and smarter. Come on, sit down, I'll get you chocolate."

While speaking, the second uncle picked her up and placed her on a chair that was still of a certain height for her, and then got up and left.

Listening to the other party's sound of gradually moving away, Yaoyao sniffed. She smelled a complex aroma mixed with the smell of meat and smoky. This was the first time this fragrance appeared in her memory.

"Second uncle, what are you cooking?"

The second uncle in the room replied loudly:

"It's not cooking anything, it's smoked bacon! I'll cut a piece for you later. When your brother comes back, he'll let him cook it for you. Do you know?"

"My brother won't let me ask for your stuff."

Hearing this, the second uncle who was already approaching with chocolate, burst into laughter.

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Your second uncle doesn't want anything. Who else can you want? Come and eat chocolate, I'll cut bacon for you."

Yaoyao nodded, carefully rubbed off the dust from her hands, and then groped to unpack the chocolate, but she was about to stuff the chocolate into her mouth, but accidentally, the chocolate that had peeled off the candy paper fell to the ground.

There was already a sound of intermittent cutting vegetables not far away. She sat there in a daze. She first raised her legs and wrapped the chair around, then bent down with difficulty, fumbled the ground in front of her with her hands, and then carefully climbed down from the chair after confirming that there was no chocolate falling on the ground, then squatted down to find out where the chocolate fell.

This was a difficult job for her. She gradually knelt down from the beginning, and finally lay down under the chair. Fortunately, every household now has tiles. When she finally found the piece of chocolate, it was not very dirty.

---In terms of touch, it is not very dirty.

She rubbed the chocolate on her clothes and put it in her pocket, then she groped and climbed onto the chair. When the second uncle cut the bacon and turned around, she happened to see the scene of her taking out the chocolate from her pocket.

"Ouch! Don't eat it! Your pocket is covered in dust! What's wrong? It fell to the ground?"

"Um!"

Yaoyao nodded slightly, and the other party took the chocolate from her hand, took out a tissue to wipe it clean, and then stuffed it back into her hand.

"Come on, eat it. If you eat it, you won't get sick. We didn't care so much when we were young... I heard from your brother that you will see a doctor tomorrow night?"

"Go to see a doctor."

"Where are you going to see? What doctor did you see?"

"If you treat your eyes, go to college to see!"

"Don't pull your eyes, this... I'll ask you in vain. When your brother comes back, I'll ask him. Don't be fooled by someone else by the time you two have the subsidy... Okay, sit and eat, the second uncle is going to go."

"After finishing your meal, go home to watch TV. Don't run around, are your phone in your pocket?"

Yaoyao took out her cell phone from her pocket and shook it. The second uncle nodded with confidence.

"I'll put the bacon next to you. Come on, you can hold it and see if you can move... Isn't it okay? It's not too heavy!"

"We Yaoyao is really capable, even more capable than my younger granddaughter..."

With the second uncle's praise, Yaoyao finished eating the chocolate in her hand, then said goodbye to the second uncle, and walked out of the room carefully.

What she didn't know was that the second uncle who said she was going to work hard was actually following her until she watched her walk to the small stool at the door of her house, then shook her head and turned around and left.

Yaoyao raised her face and could feel the angle of the sunshine had changed slightly. The alarm clock on her phone reminded her that there were still 3 hours left before her brother would go home. For the next three hours, she had been sitting on the bench like that. Only when she heard the sound of a whistle gradually approaching would she stand up and take a few steps back in the direction of the house.

The light around her gradually dimmed, but for her, what changed was just the temperature around her.

It was not until the lights were on, and the last alarm clock of today rang, that she heard the voice of brother Yang Yijin coming from a distance.

"elder brother!"

She stood up excitedly, holding bacon in one hand and stumbled forward with the wall in the other, and the figure opposite her quickly ran two steps and stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Are you good at home today? Have you been in class?"

"It's time! I'm done!"

"What did you learn today?"

"I learned the multiplication table today, but I can't memorize it..."

"It's okay, come on, Yaoyao, call me uncle."

While speaking, he handed the hand that was holding the other person to Ye Zhou who came with him.

"This is Uncle Ye, this is Uncle Chen. Uncle Ye will take you to treat your eyes tomorrow. Say thank you."

Yaoyao's face rarely showed a look of joy. She shook Ye Zhou's hand like a little adult, and then said seriously:
Chapter completed!
