Her father held her big hand tightly and weakly let go.

The piercing sound of gunshots, which almost shattered the eardrums, was accompanied by thunderous roars and curses in the distance, pouring in like a heavy rain.

At that moment, Jin Jing's whole body was trembling with extreme fear, and the blood in her body almost froze. She subconsciously wanted to rush to her father and help him up.

Her mother, who had always been gentle, suddenly pulled her back, a hoarse and painful cry came from her throat, and she led her towards the wire fence step by step.

The cold wind was like a knife, and her mother raised her beautiful and white chin. Jin Jing could not see her expression. The first ray of golden light from the distant sky pierced the darkness.

She only saw large crystal tears sliding down her cheeks, shattering on the ground, and turning into sad, heartbreaking tears.

Jin Jing opened her mouth, but did not speak after all.

Looking back at the last moment, she saw her father lying on the ground, his eyes gradually blurred, and he was coughing up blood in his mouth. He waved feebly towards her and her mother, with a bitter smile that seemed to be relieved and reluctant to give up on his face.

Jin Jing ran like crazy with her mother. The gunshots behind her got closer and closer, and there were fewer and fewer people around her.

Less than three meters away from the wire fence, Jin Jing's eyes filled with excitement, and at the next moment, two bullets carrying the breath of death came "whooshing".

One of them grazed the hair next to Jin Jing's ear, frightening the young girl to tears.

While she was secretly rejoicing, covering her rapidly beating heart, the mother beside her groaned and fell down with a large amount of blood.

Jin Jing's pupils dilated instantly, and her heart was completely occupied by fear. Her brain went blank and buzzed, like countless noisy cicadas in the summer forest echoing in her ears.

She stopped and wanted to rush to her mother in fear. The blood on the side of her mother's abdomen couldn't stop gurgling out, as if there was a bottomless hole in her mother's belly, which instantly dyed the light color on her body red.

Cotton jacket.

The mother gritted her teeth, her face twisted and hideous in pain, and screamed at her, telling her to run quickly, cross the wire fence, run as far as she could, and run to a place where no one could find her.

!

These were my mother's last words, without the usual gentle words like the spring breeze, nor the lingering nostalgia after separation and death.

Jin Jing had never seen such a mother before. She was so unfamiliar, which made her fearful and panicky. However, her body instinctively obeyed her mother's orders and ran towards the wire fence a few meters away.

The moment her thin body passed through the wire fence, she looked back and saw her mother lying in a pool of blood with a smile, lifeless, and one hand tried hard to reach out in the direction she left.

There are crystal tears condensing in the corners of the eyes. In the severe cold of minus 30 degrees, the tears will be frozen into ice in an instant.

That night, the light in Jin Jing's life was completely extinguished. She didn't know how long she had been running away. Her heart was empty and she only knew how to run forward desperately.

When I was thirsty, I drank the dew in the grass. When I was hungry, I rummaged through the trash cans on the roadside for food. From time to time, I would fight with groups of wild dogs and cats for a mouthful of rancid leftovers. My body was covered with tiny

Wound.

If you really can't find it, you can only go hungry and huddle in the darkest corner where no one knows, burying your little head deeply in the crook of your legs.

Behind the wire fence, there were high-rise buildings that were unfamiliar to her. There was a feast of lights and feasting everywhere, and people's faces were filled with happy and prosperous smiles.

Walking along the street, there were many restaurants that she had never seen before, where men and women were chatting and laughing and enjoying delicious food.

There are the Northern Dynasty cold noodles that my mother mentioned, seaweed rice, delicate and beautiful plates with spicy and sour kimchi, and pots of steaming sour tofu and seaweed soup that are steaming "gulu gulu".

Everything is so beautiful. The people here are just like what my mother said. Everyone has a full stomach and can smile sincerely with happiness and contentment. It is a completely different world from her hometown.

She was homeless and didn't know where the beautiful aunt her mother talked about lived, and she didn't dare to be discovered by others. Her mother's words were like a curse, deeply imprinted in her heart.

Until one cold night with heavy snowfall, she fell ill, her thin body curled up and shivering.

She huddled in the corner, silently staring at the bakery on the street that shone with golden warmth. The aroma wafting out of it made her salivate.

She had not eaten for three days in a row. Her stomach was so hungry that her thin body had no strength at all.

Is she going to die, she thought silently in her heart.

After a violent cough, she took a slow breath of hot air and took out the matchbox she had found in the trash can from her pocket with trembling hands.

She was extremely cold, the kind of cold that invaded the bone marrow. She closed her hands slightly and carefully struck a match. The flame slowly rose, and the long-lost warmth baked into her skinned and scarred palms.

In a trance, the scene in front of Jin Jing changed drastically, and she returned to her hometown a year ago on a hot summer day.

She went fishing with her parents at the lake, and her father caught several big fish. She jumped three feet high with joy, clapped her hands and smiled, saying that there were big fish tonight.

When I returned to my grandfather's house in the evening, my grandmother and mother cooked a pot of delicious fish soup.

That night, the whole family had a full meal. Jin Jing didn't even let go of the fish meat on every fish bone, licking it clean. The kitten at her feet was very resentful and kept meowing.

Her mother smiled and touched her belly, saying how a little girl could eat better than boys. What if she grew up and turned into a fat girl and no boys would want her?

Dad laughed loudly and said that their family's Jingjing was naturally beautiful. She had perfectly inherited the appearance and figure of her mother, a flower from all over the country. She would definitely be beautiful in the future, just like the stunning beauties from Goryeo in ancient times who paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Overwhelming the country and the city.

Hearing this, Jin Jing was so shy that she covered her face, stretched out her little foot to kick her father, and said that she did not want to be given as a gift to others, and that she wanted to be little Jingjing's mother and father for the rest of her life.

That night, the family rarely had enough to eat and drink, and had a good time. The wrinkles on the faces of grandparents seemed to melt away with smiles.

It's so good. There were tears in Jin Jing's eyes, and a smile appeared on the face of the little cat that hadn't been groomed for many days.

However, as the match went out and the cold wind blew on her face, the scene in front of her disappeared like a bubble, and the expression on Jin Jing's face solidified.

She struck a match again, and this time she saw the candlelight flickering in the room that night.

She lay on the kang, with eyes twitching, watching her mother sew a small tiger skin pillow for her, which she had longed for for a long time, using a few old clothes that her father didn't wear, using a candle.

Jin Jing hugged the cute little tiger skin pillow, rolled around on the bed with joy, threw herself into her mother's arms and kissed her hard.

Her mother smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, asked her if she liked it, and jokingly said that when she gets married in the future, her mother would personally sew a wedding dress for her, as well as a mattress, sheets and pillows for her new house.

.

If she gives birth to a child, her mother, as a grandmother, will also personally make all the clothes for her baby grandson from birth to eight years old.ωωw..net

Jin Jing was so embarrassed that her face was as red as a big tomato, and she said that she was still young and it was too early to get married and have children.

Moreover, all the boys in the village were tough-minded and would always bully her when playing with them. She did not want to marry such a man in the future.

At this time, my father came home from get off work. After hearing what the two said, he sat on the kang and hugged his mother. He smiled and asked her baby, Jingjing, what kind of man she wanted to marry in the future.

Jin Jing tried to think carefully, stood on the Kang with her hands on her hips cutely, and said with a smile that she likes people who are gentle and considerate, talk interestingly, and are down-to-earth and willing to work. She must have a flexible mind and not be like a piece of wood, just like her father.

Same.

The father laughed loudly, touched her little head and said that her baby Jingjing was so cute and the man she would marry would definitely be a good one. He and his mother were looking forward to what kind of person Jingjing's future husband would be.

Her mother leaned on her father's arms with a gentle look on her face, while Jin Jing sat on her mother's lap and naughtily asked her mother to help her retie her braids.

Jin Jing's eyes were moist, her eyes fixed on the moment when a family of three hugged each other, and the match went out again silently.

The third match was slowly polished, and the picture was blurry. Jin Jing saw herself growing up. As her father said, she had inherited the excellent genes of her mother, who was from all over the country. She was beautiful and graceful.

She returned to her hometown with a man on her arm and happily introduced him to her parents as her boyfriend.

At this time, her parents were all white-haired and no longer young. Their faces were full of joyful smiles, and they warmly entertained the boyfriend she brought home.

The picture was blurry, and she couldn't clearly see her boyfriend's appearance. She vaguely saw that he was tall, handsome and decent, with a gentle smile on his face that made it easy for people to get close to him.

The boyfriend was humble and polite, and solemnly proposed to his parents the idea of ​​marrying Jin Jing during the meal. Jin Jing shyly punched her boyfriend with her pink fist, saying that in this life, she would marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, a dog, and she would not marry anyone other than him.

The parents were very satisfied with the first impression of their boyfriend. Seeing that Jin Jing liked him so much, they smiled and agreed.

Soon, the two parties held a wedding. It was Jin Jing's turn to hold the wedding day. On that day, she was extremely beautiful and handsome, and the groom, who was full of joy, rode a white horse to the house to greet the bride in person.

Witnessed by her parents who were filled with tears of joy, she wiped away her tears and sat on the sedan chair.

That night, the house was full of guests, and my daughter-in-law Jin Jing followed her husband from table to table to toast, chatting and laughing, and all the guests, relatives and friends sent their sincere blessings.

When Jin Jing helped her drunken husband back to the wedding room and closed the door, she was suddenly picked up by her husband who was deliberately pretending to be drunk.

Under the swaying red candle, the picture in front of her gradually became clearer, and she saw a handsome and smiling face.

His eyes were full of love, he hugged her and sat at the table, and said a low voice, "Mother", which immediately made Jin Jing's face flush with embarrassment.

Then the two of them drank a glass of wine together, and he leaned into her ear with a smile and said that the spring night is too short, so don't let the lady live up to such a good time and beautiful scenery.
