Among the many handmade toy products, I chose a cute little girl, as beautiful as Lisa, and I want to keep her by my side.
From getting to know Lisa to our later interactions, I have changed a lot. It seems that I have also become more talkative, more willing to share, and have gained some new insights into life.
I didn't realize when I started to pay attention to my appearance, especially whether my face is clean and if my clothes are stylish. To be honest, when I look in the mirror, I don't know if the person in the mirror is really me. It seems like the first time in many years that I have seriously examined myself!
"Not bad, a very handsome young man!" I said to myself.
Life is slightly better now than before, and I've also become more proficient in my work at the church. I've become adept at it, and in the evenings, I go out with Old Yu to work as a rickshaw puller for a few hours, earning some extra money.
Old Yu doesn't have any relatives. He says he wants to be more careful with his expenses, save up for a travel fare, and when the time is right, or when he's not doing well, he wants to set out on the journey back to his homeland, where he will ultimately belong.
I always can't bear to hear him say such things. We spend our days and nights under the same roof, and I have no family. Although I say he's my bro, deep down I already consider him family.
I can't stand to see Elder Yu cry, he looks just like my grandma. So when my feelings run deep, I don't want to show it so obviously, afraid that he can't handle it or feels pressured. My heart tells me that I will always be there for him.
I am sorry to my mother-in-law, the person who gave me a second life. This pain may stay in my heart for a lifetime. Therefore, I value my relationship with Old Yu very much. In a sense, he is also a family member in my life.
One day, something happened that made me feel the hardships of life again, and I felt the pain. How could such a thing happen in front of God? Isn't this blaspheming the Holy Spirit? I mock myself. I can't believe I believe in this stuff.
Also, it may be that this incident scared Lisa, or there may be some other hidden reason. After that, I never saw Lisa coming to worship again, and she didn't come to the square to play the harmonica with me.
I clearly remember that day, after people finished worshiping in the church, everyone dispersed. Some were still confessing and praying there, and some walked to the small square in front of the church. Lisa and I also went outside. I was praising her for being different today, and I felt like a gentleman talking big in front of Lisa.
Suddenly, from a distance, came the sound of galloping horses and the shouts of people. It was unclear what was happening.
A woman was seen driving a carriage, holding a child in her arms, and continuously waving the reins as the carriage sped away.
There is a group of soldiers behind her, desperately chasing her with machine guns in their hands, constantly shouting at her to stop immediately, or else they will shoot.
Just as her carriage was about to pass through the small square here, "bang... bang...!" came the loud sound of two gunshots, and suddenly people were in chaos, huddling together and not knowing what had happened.
These two shots hit the legs of the running horse, and the carriage collapsed instantly. The handsome black horse knelt on one knee and could no longer stand up. The woman in the carriage fell to the ground with a child in her arms. Without hesitation, she quickly picked up the child and ran towards the door of the church. When she ran to the center of the square, she was caught up by the pursuers from behind and surrounded.
People held their breath and watched, feeling extremely afraid. I felt Lisa pressing against me, her head leaning on my right shoulder, looking very nervous, with her hands constantly fidgeting with her handkerchief.
"Run, where are you running to? We can offer you favorable conditions. You just need to tell us where your husband is, and we won't trouble you! You know our soldiers are all on the battlefield, and we really need your help."
"Your idea of blending in with the refugees is not very clever. If I were your husband, I definitely wouldn't leave you here. In many ways, women are a stumbling block. That's why we want you to speak up!"
"I'll give you another ten minutes to think. After ten minutes, I will make you choose between your daughter and your man. I think you will choose your child!"
"No, don't touch my child, please spare my child. She's still so young, she's just a newborn baby in swaddling clothes, you must not harm her!"
"You just need to let her go, and you can do whatever you want with me!"
"Oh, no, ma'am, you still don't understand what I mean. You tell us where your man is, we just need to get what we want and won't trouble him. Then you can be together. Isn't that good?"
"I really don't know, he just suddenly disappeared. What do you want me to say!"
"Okay, you will say it! You will say it in ten minutes. Now start the countdown!"
"Lord, Father, please save me......!"
The woman clasped her hands together and began to implore the Lord to save her. She even imagined the heroic act of Jesus bearing the sins of humanity on the cross. She closed her eyes, repenting and praying for salvation.
Everyone is praying for the scene in front of us, even the furry-eyed Lisa beside me has closed her eyes, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and we saw the fierce officer snatch the child from her hands, sternly saying, "The fate of the child is in your hands. If you don't tell the truth, she will die!" With that, he raised the child's hand above her head.
The crying of the child broke the mother's heart. I had to restrain my emotions and stop myself from rushing out. Old Yu grabbed my arm, signaling me not to move, not to cause trouble.
"My patience is limited. I'll count to three. If you don't speak, I'll let your child die in front of you!"
"No, you can't do this!" The woman fell to the ground in front of the man, pleading with him incessantly and kowtowing to him, while dozens of gun barrels were pointed at her from behind.
"Three, two, one...!"
The child was thrown fiercely into the air, accompanied by crying, and instantly fell to the ground, the crying stopped...
The heart-wrenching screams, like an overwhelming avalanche, she went crazy, rushing towards the demon like a madwoman.
With a gunshot, she fell, into a pool of blood, her eyes gazing at her child.
The two bodies in the small square suffocated people, and my tears flowed...
Lisa fainted and was taken back to her home....
