To my frozen hometown

Chapter 61 Toy Rabbit

Liz was not a very talkative child when she was a child, but she was very smart, so smart that she was able to understand almost all the emotions of adults just when she was a child.

So when she watched her mother kiss a strange man and leave, the girl already knew that her mother would never come back.

That day she was standing at the door of the house with a toy rabbit in her hand, neither crying nor making noise, just quietly watching her mother leave and disappear at the end of the street.

Since then, she has been living with her father.

Her father is very busy and can only come home once a week.But Liz could still feel that her father loved her very much.

Every time my father came back, he would bring her a small jar of jam, read books with her, and teach her some knowledge about electrical appliances.

At that time, every weekend was the happiest day for Liz.Because she can sit beside her father while eating sweet and sour jam, or read a book, or watch him repair some small electrical appliances.

It was fun for Liz to watch appliances being taken apart and put back together again.

Because no matter how complicated electrical appliances are, their operating logic is traceable, which is completely different from the emotions between people. They will not be vague or confusing.

Liz likes this kind of clarity, just like her father.

In addition, Liz also likes to read books.

Interestingly, her father just happened to like writing books.

So at a very young age, Liz has been exposed to knowledge that many adults have not been able to access.

As the daughter of a greenhouse engineer, she can almost recite all the main facilities and the general structure of Greenhouse No. [-] silently.

Liz was a genius, her father always said so.

She would one day make great contributions to mankind, her father had affirmed that.

It's a pity that this man never saw the day when she could grow up.

When Liz was 14 years old, her father died in a snowstorm due to an engineering accident.

When his colleague brought back his belongings, Liz still didn't cry, she just quietly tidied up her father's room, and then put away everything related to him.

In November of that year, Liz left the greenhouse and began her life among the ruins.

No one knows why.

Only she knew that she just wanted to see the bigger world that her father said.

Her father has told her countless times that human beings will get rid of the greenhouse one day, and they will stand on the vast and boundless land under the starry sky again, living with dignity.

Instead of being bound in a cage like a trapped beast, wagging its tail and begging for food.

Her father had described to her the world outside the greenhouse countless times.

So Liz also wanted to see with her own eyes what that world was like.

She wants to prove her father right.

She wants to prove that humans don't just have to wait.

The days of surviving alone in the ruins are painful, and Liz needs to face beasts, cold, hunger, lack of oxygen, and loneliness.

There were countless times when Liz thought she was going to die, when the wild dogs on the ice field were banging on the iron gate outside the garbage dump, when the cold froze her limbs, when the oxygen was running out, when she was hungry to eat When the last bug is dropped.

But what Liz is most afraid of is the moment of silence that is bound to come every night.

When all the sounds disappear, when you can't hear even the slightest movement when you listen carefully, the kind of loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow can make people feel the most primitive fear.

It seems that no matter how much you cry, no one will hear you, no matter how much you cry, no one will respond, as if you have been forgotten by this world and become the last living person in this world.

At this time, Liz would look at the greenhouse in the distance.

She knew that there she could escape all suffering.

But she also knows that humans can't always escape.

Probably at what kind of moment, probably when Liz thought that she was going to be unable to hold on.

In the rubbish dump of the ruins, she picked up a seemingly intact CD.

With the mentality of having nothing to do, she put this record in the Walkman she had just repaired a few days ago.

So under the girl's trance-like gaze, voices began to be heard above the silent ruins.

Although it was so stumbling, even though it sounded a little noisy, to Liz's ears at that moment, it was almost the most beautiful piece of music in the world.

It seems to have all the beauty in this world, enough to make her forget all the pain and troubles.

She didn't seem so lonely anymore, because she heard someone singing to her.

So since then, the girl has fallen into a fanatical obsession with music, and she began to collect records, CDs, tapes, and any audio-visual equipment that may be repaired in every corner of the city.

She listened to more and more music, and it became more and more difficult to extricate herself, but of all the music, her favorite was still a genre of music called rock and roll.

Well, that's probably how it was introduced in the album catalog.

It was also the genre of the first record she listened to.

She felt she needed that kind of spirit, a little crazy, but also fearless.

I don't know when it started, Liz had an idea, she wanted to hold a concert of her own.

To this end, she has made a lot of preparations, and finally has the possibility that it may be realized.

She thought for a long time that day, and lost the toy rabbit that had been with her all the time, as if saying goodbye to her former self.

But the interesting thing is that on the second day, she saw two homeless people who were robbed.

They drove away the refugees who robbed them, but did not kill them.

Among the piles of rubbish, the big tramp picked up a toy rabbit, and after looking at it for a moment, she handed it into the hands of another little tramp.

The afternoon sun was just right on this day.

Liz felt that she might have seen fate.
