Entertainment: The system makes me a porter

This evening, the sun sets and night falls.

Due to the sudden influx of customers at the last small restaurant, Xue Riguang and Shen Yin's workload of washing dishes doubled.

They worked non-stop until the night was dark, and finally completed all the tasks. At this time, they returned home a full hour later than usual.

Today is so weird!

Xue Riguang felt a strange atmosphere when he looked at his home from afar.

At this time of day, the house is always brightly lit, but now it is completely dark, without a single ray of light.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused and uneasy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Xue Riguang seemed to quicken his pace to go home, and his heartbeat also accelerated.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm tightly, causing him to stop abruptly.

He turned around and found it was Shen Yin. He looked unusually calm, as if he had known all this would happen.

There was no ripple in Shen Yin's eyes, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. He looked at Xue Riguang silently without saying a word.

Xue Riguang tried to break free from his restraints, but Shen Yin's strength was so strong that he could not move.

"Let's go. Don't go back today. Come back in a few days."

Shen Yin forcibly dragged Xue Riguang away.

Xue Riguang didn't understand Shen Yin, but he couldn't persuade her because of his young age.

Xue Riguang was helplessly pulled by Shen Yin, and the two came to a dilapidated hut.

The house smelled dusty and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Shen Yin took Xue Riguang to sit on a simple bed, and then looked at him quietly.

"What's going on? Why won't you let me go home?" Xue Riguang finally couldn't help asking.

Shen Yin took a deep breath and said slowly: "We may have no family from now on.

My dad never turned off the lights in the house, and if he did it now it would mean they had been killed.

But the man is still in the house. If we go back now, we will die."

Xue Riguang widened his eyes, his heart filled with fear and confusion.

He didn't understand why his family would be in danger, but he believed that Shen Yin would not say this for no reason.

They will spend the next few days in this small house. Shen Yin is afraid that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, so he doesn't dare to go there even for odd jobs.

Xue Riguang curled up in the corner with empty eyes.

Sure enough, the news had spread in the village that Xue Riguang and Shen Yin's family members had all been killed.

Xue Riguang could not accept the fact that he had lost his family, and as a young boy he did not know how to deal with this sudden change.

Shen Yin stayed by his side silently. Although he was equally sad, he tried to remain calm.

"We must find the murderer and avenge our families." Shen Yin clenched his fists and swore secretly.

A few years passed, and although life was hard, the two gradually adapted to this environment.

However, whenever the night is quiet, the longing for their families comes to their mind, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

One night, Xue Riguang heard a faint sound.

He opened his eyes alertly and found Shen Yin getting up quietly and walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Xue Riguang asked nervously.

Shen Yin looked back at him and said in a low voice, "I'll go out and take a look. You stay here and don't move."

Xue Riguang nodded, his heart full of worry.

He knew that Shen Yin didn't want him anymore.

Just as Xue Riguang thought, at dawn, several people came to pick him up and said they were from the welfare home.

Xue Riguang saw Shen Yin hiding behind the door and looking at him, so he followed those people obediently.
