Chapter 5 Little Dark Room

After Hua Ling finished feeding the child porridge, she looked around and found that the food in the dish at the end of the table had not been touched, and the child who was supposed to be sitting there had not yet appeared.

"Where is A Yin?" Hua Ling asked.

"Ayin played for half the night last night, I'm afraid I haven't gotten up yet." One of the children answered, and Hua Ling's face immediately became a little colder.

Hua Ling said in a deep voice: "Go and tell her that if she doesn't show up, she will be locked in a dark room."

As soon as the children heard the word "black room", they immediately showed a look of panic and fear, as if they had heard the most terrifying thing in the world. There was even a rustling sound in the room next to it.

There was a sound on the ground. Soon, a child with disheveled hair ran out crawling. She was holding a wide belt with both hands, and she didn't even put on her shoes.

In fact, Ayin had already woken up, but it was cold outside and she didn't want to get up. When she heard Hua Ling mention the "dark room", she quickly struggled to get up and sat down at the table in a hurry.

Although she was wearing shabby and ill-fitting men's clothes, it was obvious that she was a girl.

"Hua, brother Hua Ling, I just had a headache...so...that's why I didn't get up. You, you must not lock me in a dark room!"

The girl named A Yin looked particularly nervous. Hua Ling glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Eat."

"Yes!" Ayin nodded hurriedly. Only then did he notice the food in the bowl. A strange light suddenly bloomed in his eyes. He didn't even bother to use the spoon. He picked up the bowl and put it in his mouth.

Tao Yue'er stood not far away, watching them put the pastries into their mouths one after another, finish dividing the porridge, and after swallowing an unknown number of mouthfuls of saliva, hungry stars appeared in front of her eyes.

She suddenly felt that she might starve to death in this life.

That’s too miserable!

Tao Yue'er's stomach growled, and she finally stayed up until the children finished their breakfast. They each held their iron fists and went to the well to wash themselves, while Hua Ling picked up the extra empty dishes on the table and stacked them one by one.

Put it back in the tree hole.

Seeing that he was done with his work, Tao Yue'er immediately staggered over and said angrily: "Hua... Hua Gong, when will you take me to die?" Her voice was hoarse, her tone was helpless, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Begging.

Hua Ling froze and looked back at her. His eyes were as cold and emotionless as ever. It was clearly an expressionless face, but from Tao Yue'er's perspective, there seemed to be a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

sneer.

Hua Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Now."

Tao Yue'er followed Hua Ling through the front yard and walked to a lonely low house in the west end of the backyard.

The house looked no different from the other houses. They were all houses made of earth, with a dilapidated appearance. The door and window lattice of this house were even covered with spider webs, as if no one had stepped in for a long time.

"What's inside here?" Tao Yue'er swept the dust on the door panel and tried to peek through the crack in the door, but it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything.

Hua Ling pushed Tao Yue'er forward, and at the same time she took a step back and said, "You'll know when you go in."

Tao Yue'er was not prepared and threw herself directly against the door. Suddenly dust was everywhere. She threw herself on a dark wooden board amid the dust and smoke.

"Then, farewell." Hua Ling stood outside the door, said slowly, and then closed the door.

Before the last ray of sunlight was cut off, Tao Yue'er saw through the light that the wooden board in front of her was actually the cover of the coffin!

Tao Yue'er suddenly jumped away and stood stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

——Hua Ling, even the coffin was prepared for her so quickly?

He is too thoughtful!

Tao Yue'er didn't know whether to be grateful or moved, but she quickly rejected the idea.

This small house had two rooms, but no windows. The surroundings of Tao Yue'er were so dark that she couldn't see her fingers. She touched around the coffin and realized that the length and width of the coffin were not that of an adult. It should be for

Customized for the children in this hospital.

Tao Yue'er's mind was finally settled. She wanted to open the coffin and take a look, but she was afraid that there was someone inside and she would be offended. She could only sit down against the coffin and looked around. Suddenly she didn't understand. Hua Ling asked her to do it.

What are you doing in this house?

Is there something deadly in this?

No……

Did he want to starve her to death? Or scare her to death?

She is timid, but she is not even afraid of death. Will she still be afraid of ghosts and the dark?

Just when Tao Yue'er was full of doubts, a gust of cold wind blew by, and an almost inaudible sigh suddenly came from the back room.

Tao Yue'er's whole body was agitated. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the passage between the inside and outside. Suddenly there was an oil lamp. The light was so faint that it was almost negligible. It could only illuminate one foot in front of it.

It’s a wide place. No wonder Tao Yue’er didn’t notice it at first.

"Who is inside?" Tao Yue'er asked, but no one answered her. She felt curious, so she got up and walked towards the candlelight.

Tao Yue'er groped forward cautiously, and when she came to the oil lamp, she slowed down her pace, but her clothes still brought a breeze. The breeze blew by, and the oil lamp flickered several times, looking like it was about to be extinguished.

Tao Yue'er's heart suddenly tightened, praying that it would never be destroyed!

Fortunately, the candle did not go out in the end. It struggled and jumped a few times, and then continued to burn desperately.

Tao Yue'er bent down, picked up the candlestick, and walked slowly toward the inner room. After passing through a half-foot-long walkway, she arrived at the inner room, only to realize that this might not be a house for people to live in.

Tao Yue'er took two steps forward, and a musty smell hit her nostrils, and then her knee hit an object. Tao Yue'er lowered the candlestick and saw a pale human face suddenly appeared in front of her!

"Ah!" Tao Yue'er screamed and almost threw the candlestick away in fright!

The man's face did not look like a living person, and a gray-black aura spread all over his body, as if he had been dead for many days...

Tao Yue'er's legs were weak, so she braced herself and regained her composure. She lowered the candlestick again. This time she was mentally prepared. She thought it would be much better, but when she saw this face again, she still felt terrible——

This is the face of a girl about eight years old. Her hair is stuck to her scalp in strands, her eyes are wide open, her cheeks are sunken, her lips are half open, and there are large blue spots on her face.

On top of the spots, there are small black pimples. Some of the pimples are thick, some are broken, and some have white hair... In short, they look like they are in the late stage of the epidemic. If Tao Yue'er hadn't heard her sigh before

, she will think that she will never rest in peace.

"Why are you locked up here alone?" Tao Yuer asked her softly.

The girl didn't even move, so she naturally didn't answer him. Tao Yue'er thought she was too ill to speak, so she didn't continue to ask.

Tao Yue'er picked up the candlestick and walked around the small room. The room was small and narrow, and could only fit a small bed. It was surrounded by walls. After a while, she had finished visiting.

"Why……"

Another almost inaudible sigh came. Tao Yue'er lowered her head and focused on the girl again. She moved the candlestick to her left hand and reached down with her right hand, wanting to hold the girl's hand. But she was

I groped around the bed for a long time, but couldn't touch the girl's hand.

Tao Yue'er lowered the candlestick and illuminated a corner of the flower quilt. When she opened it, she discovered that the girl's limbs had shrunk due to long-term bed rest.

What a poor child, no wonder Hua Ling placed her here alone...

Tao Yue'er sighed and put down the quilt, and sat down on the edge of the bed, with her head facing the girl's chest. The candlelight danced on the left hand side, always bringing only a glimmer of light. Although it was a fiery red color, it was surrounded by

Surrounded by the glaring darkness, it seems like it will be destroyed anytime and anywhere.

"I'm here to keep you company. On the road to hell, you and I won't be lonely anymore."

…

"How old are you? How long have you been here? Do they usually ignore you?"

…

"Are you curious, I am healthy and have well-developed limbs, why do I have to die here?"

…

"Actually, I don't have to die...it's just that living is empty and meaningless to me..."

…

"No one needs me...no one loves me...I don't love others either...then why am I living so hard?"
