Nights with thunderstorms always make it difficult to sleep. A little girl who looked like she was only ten years old, wearing old clothes and patches, was soaked all over. As if she had been fished out of the water, she was pulling a girl who was almost bigger than her.

She was trudging forward with a tall shabby bag full of bottles and cans. Her body was completely exposed to the rain and had no cover. Her thin body was carrying such a big bag, even if it wasn't heavy, it looked very strenuous.

Walking on the bumpy road, the heavy rain covered up the sound of her footsteps. She stopped, raised her hand to wipe away the rain and sweat that could not be wiped away, took a deep breath, and continued to drag the bag and move forward.

The little girl stopped to rest again before the last intersection. In fact, she stopped many times along the way. After all, it is very difficult for her to do these things at her age, but she had no intention of hiding from the rain because she was still

She had to go home much later than usual because of the heavy rain, so she had to go home quickly.

She vaguely seemed to hear a familiar voice. The little girl looked up and dimly saw someone like her walking towards the opposite side, with staggering steps. The little girl immediately became happy.

"Mother……"

Before the little girl's excitement had passed, she saw the familiar figure in front of her approaching the end of the crossroads. There were no street lights on this section of the road, so she saw a burst of bright light coming from the side from far to near, covering the familiar figure.

The figure illuminated, and gradually became very dazzling, until nothing could be seen anymore. Then, she heard the sound of something heavy colliding, followed by the harsh sound of brakes.

After being dazzled, when the little girl could see clearly, she saw a car hit the wall on the side of the road. In front of the car, looking forward, she saw the most familiar voice lying on the ground.

Not far in front of the car.

"Mom..." the little girl cried out in confusion.

Apart from the sound of rain, the little girl couldn't hear any response, let alone the most familiar sound, and she would never hear it again.

………………

The little girl sat on the hospital bed, looking at the doctors, nurses and policemen in white uniforms in front of her. Her eyes were empty and confused, and she seemed not to know what was happening. Not long ago, she was taken to see her only relative for the last time.

On the other hand, she didn't cry or make a fuss, she just looked at the person who had her eyes closed forever, which made the doctor and the police who took her there feel unspeakably distressed.

"There is no way, she has no relatives except the deceased, so she can only be adopted or sent to an orphanage," said a female police officer.

The others were silent, how could they not know? It's just that this kind of thing is not uncommon. They should have been numb to it, but they felt particularly distressed by the little girl's reaction. Most of them remembered that two days ago

On that night of heavy rain, the deceased was brought to the hospital, and then there was only a little girl crying so shockingly and helplessly outside the emergency room that she even went into shock. But this morning, when the little girl saw the deceased, she didn't cry at all.

It's not noisy, it's distressing.

Speaking of which, the police have basically learned about the little girl's life experience. The little girl has been living with her mother for a long time and is the deceased. She has no relatives. Even the neighbors don't know where they came from. They only know that the deceased brought them with her.

After living with the little girl, she never left and rarely had contact with others. It was obvious that the little girl was very thin because of the poor financial conditions of her family, and her immature face was all gray.

"I don't want to be adopted."
