Black Moonlight's vest fell again

"Live!"

The old man looked at him with eager and complicated expressions in his eyes.

"This is fate?" Jiang Yun heard him muttering to himself.

"I can help you live." said the old man whose face was covered by a tumor, "but...you have to trade with me."

"Use your freedom to exchange with me."

"You will take care of a blind girl for me until you die."

Jiang Yun nodded without hesitation.

"This is a contract. Did you sign it so easily? Don't you think about it? In order to live, you gave up your right to die. Do you really not regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Jiang Yun said weakly, "I want to live, no matter how I live, I have to live!"

The old man's face twitched again, probably laughing, or mocking.

The old man took out a black rope and tied it around Jiang Yun's neck, with a small ball on it.He opened the ball, and there were a few seeds inside, which he fed to Jiang Yun.

After Jiang Yun ate it, she felt that the vitality in her body was full like water.He gained some strength, and then asked slowly: "You...what's your name?"

The old man paused meaninglessly, and finally he said:
"My... surname is Cao."

In this way, Jiang Yun followed the old man surnamed Cao to his dilapidated home. In his home, he saw a little blind girl.She bowed, holding a glass of white water in her hands, and sucking with a straw in her mouth.Hearing that someone was coming, she turned her head like a frightened little animal, with a pair of dull eyes aimed at the person coming.

"Do you have a name?" she asked, her voice wary.

"No," he said.

After getting along for a while, Jiang Yun, who was on the sidelines, finally understood that the little girl didn't seem to know that the old man surnamed Cao was seriously ill and dying.

She called the old man "Grandpa".

In the dark age, the people of Trash Star did not have surnames, and those who had surnames, except for the nobles, might be the only people with special backgrounds like himself.

Jiang Yun remained silent.

From then on, he lived with this strange old and young.

She has no name, and others call her blind.

The old man called her "Yaoer".

Every day, at a fixed time, this weird old man surnamed Cao took him out to snatch some of the most basic things that sustain human life when the spaceship dumping garbage came.

The old man's condition was getting worse and worse. In the end, the heavy tumor made him almost unable to lift his head, and his body was always bent.When old man Cao couldn't lift his head completely, he began to hold the hand of the blind child and walk around every corner of the garbage area.

And forced her to memorize all the steps.

"Yaoer, you have to remember these steps firmly! It takes 5 steps to get out of our cubicle. It is 35 steps from the cubicle to the garbage dump. It is 1 steps from garbage area 2 to garbage area 135..." Pulling After she walked through every road in this area, the old man concluded, "You must remember these steps, these numbers are your eyes!"

Next, it's time to recite the number of steps.

The old man was stern and fierce, as long as she gave a wrong answer, Jiang Yun would silently step forward and beat her palms severely with a plank.

Her palms are always swollen.

After getting along for a long time, Jiang Yun would occasionally be at a loss.

Did I really live a life without worrying about food and clothing on the ancient earth?Isn't that a dream?

He also looked carefully at the face of a blind child, wondering what she would look like if she was not blind, if she could grow up.

But Jiang Yun knew in her heart that they had no future.

The lifespan of people on Garbage Star is only a short 30 years.A young man with a blind man, if it wasn't for the ferocious old man Cao, they wouldn't be able to live for a few years at all.

Old man Cao obviously knew it too.

He will not rest in peace.

The huge tumor oppressed his face and neck, making him live like a wax gourd in his final moments.His neck was connected to his face, and his skin was swollen and almost translucent. It seemed that if he pinched it lightly, it would leave pus.

On the day that old man Cao left, he held the hand of the blind girl tightly, and words kept gurgling in his throat.

Jiang Yun leaned closer to listen, old man Cao took a breath, and pushed the blind girl away.

He grabbed his hand tightly, his eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisps.

"You have to guard her, guard her until you die, or she dies." Old Man Cao said.

Jiang Yun nodded silently.

The dying person suddenly regained his strength.Old man Cao grabbed the small ball on the black rope loop around Jiang Yun's neck with his hands, pulling his entire upper body down. The rough rope loop scratched the back of Jiang Yun's neck, causing burning pain.

"You have to promise me." Old man Cao gasped.

"I promise."

"Use your name to guarantee it, Jiang Yun." said the old man who was tortured beyond recognition by the tumor.

Jiang Yun?

How did he know his name?
The old man's words struck the top of his head like a thunderbolt, and Jiang Yun's back felt chills in shock, and her whole body almost exploded!

He subconsciously pushed the old man away, took two steps back, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

The old man wanted to laugh, but he could only make a "ho ho" sound.The skin on his face tried to pull to the sides, but in the end it failed.

The remaining life does not allow him to have emotions.

"I am your old friend." Old Man Cao said.

Jiang Yun's eyes were red.In the past few years on the harsh and barren planet, his innocence factor has been ground and turned into a sharp thorn.He grabbed the old man's neck with both hands, and forcefully said, "Would you say it?"

The old man rolled his eyes when he pinched him, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Yun let go of her hand resentfully, and the old man gasped again.

"I think you still want to live very much." Jiang Yun said indifferently and sarcastically, "It's not like you said, you just want to die."

"I want to die." The old man coughed, "But death requires courage, and I lack courage."

"Then I'll give you a ride?" Jiang Yun said maliciously.

"I can't ask for it."

Jiang Yun stared at his melon-like upper body, and after a long time, she sneered: "Why should I fulfill your wish."

The old man laughed "hoho" again: "You have always been a kind child."

Jiang Yun recalled her life before time travel, but he was still too young when time travel, and his memory was very little. He only remembered that he lived with his grandfather, and the family conditions were good.As for the others, I really have no impression.

His eyes sank: "You designed me to come here?"

The old man struggled to open his eyes—one of the two eyes was squeezed to the temple due to the tumor, and the other almost fell to the side of the mouth.He looked at Jiang Yun with these two weird eyes, leaving two traces of blood.

"It's time," he said. "It's fate."
