love on the other side

In the evening of late autumn, the dark street is a bit bleak, and the rustling treetops seem to hide a lot of sorrow, and when they shake, the leaves slide down like tears.It has just rained, and the road can be illuminated with yellow lights, and the wind feels cold after being filtered.Wearing skinny jeans and a brown jacket, I came to the corner of the street with a bag on my back, and ten meters away was a miserable old man selling stinky tofu.There were so few pedestrians on the road, I didn't see my sister, so I sat down on the stone bench.

I'm leaving, leaving the shampoo shop, leaving this dirty city.But before leaving, there was a wish unfulfilled.A month ago, I received a call from my sister. That was the first time we had contact since she was sold to a restaurant.Her deep voice came from the phone, she asked me to meet, she said that she missed me very much, she looked for me for a long time, and her voice choked up at the end.After connecting with my sister, I thought a lot about it.Looking back on the days I spent in the shampoo shop, the more I think about it, the more I sink and sink - I should have a better life, my sister’s fate is already miserable enough, I can’t fall anymore, I always feel that as long as I live well, my sister’s Life will be more glorious because of it.

In this way, I ended my long-term entanglement and made up my mind to submit my resignation to Mrs. Ding.Although she was reluctant to part with me, she didn't mean to keep me. She said, "You should really leave. It's not good for you to stay here. You're a good boy, and you deserve a better life." After finishing speaking, she He leaned over and kissed my hair, and a pair of big breasts squeezed my nose, almost suffocating me.She said I was good, probably because she didn't know that I went upstairs without permission, and she also didn't know that I borrowed her facial cleanser to do bad things in the bathroom.However, she really gave me love. Before leaving, she gave me a handful of money, saying that she would not be able to take care of me in the future.

After nightfall, the temperature became colder and colder. The old man selling stinky tofu slowly packed up his things, turned around and disappeared around the corner.At this time, a figure appeared in the place where the old man disappeared.She has long flowing hair, wears a long skirt that reaches to her heels, and high heels make her look tall, thin and bony.She is a sister!Intuition tells me.Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, when this figure appeared, I was sure of her.

The backlight made it impossible to see her face clearly.From her clothes and actions she seemed to be doing well.But when she got closer and closer, I realized that my sister no longer has a human form.

She stopped when she saw me from a distance, and stood there letting the cold wind blow her long hair and pull her long skirt.The cigarette in her hand slipped down the wet street, and the red light suddenly left only a wisp of smoke.

"Sister...sister..."

I yelled out with difficulty, but she remained silent and stood there as if dead.

"Sister! Is that you, sister?"

Almost simultaneously, we ran to each other and hugged each other.

Sitting on the stone bench, my sister cried.The light reflected on her face, it was terrible!She put on vermilion lipstick, but it turned out to be black at this moment, and her eyes were so black and big that she could hardly see her face clearly.I was also very surprised that I recognized her in the first place.

"Sister, how have you been all these years?"

She sneered and lit the cigarette again.

"Can it be good? Can it be bad?"

My sister started talking about what happened to her, that she was turned into a sex doll, that she saw all the ugliest men in the world.Those men in suits and leather shoes turned into carnivorous beasts as soon as they entered the hotel.Lush and feasting, promiscuous and decadent.She no longer feels that she is alive. She once thought of committing suicide, but when she thought of a relative somewhere in the world, she made up her mind to save her life and meet me again one day.

I was trembling with excitement as I listened to her story.My heart was pounding, and tears were rolling in my eyes.

"Sister, we finally met, how did you find me..."

"But..." My sister interrupted me, she still put the cigarette on the ground, stomped her out vigorously, then bowed her head and fell into silence.

"what happened?"

"Brother, I have AIDS..."

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, I was surprised and saddened, and at the same time, terrified.

"Sister, no, sister..."

She looked up and looked at me.At this time, I finally saw her eyes clearly, the eyeballs were sunken until there were only a pair of holes left. Even if she put a lot of makeup on her face, she couldn't cover the large red spots on her face!I feel horrified in my heart, this is more real than any horror movie.What has become of the girl who embraced each other and looked up at the starry sky with me in the back garden?Oh my sister, my dear sister!

For a moment, I hugged her tightly.Then, we all cried.

At the end of the crying, she could barely breathe, and we let go of each other.The elder sister took out a wad of money and a bank card from the red handbag, and said, "This is the money I have saved over the years, and now I give it to you!"

No, I can't take it!Are these still money?This is life, youth, blood, tears, and miserable cries for help.I dare not accept it, even if I die, I will not be able to accept the money.

"Don't think it's dirty, it's actually the purest. Brother, this is the purest thing I've done over the years. These are all for you and for you!"

oh no!Sister, don't say that!I really can't afford it, I really can't carry another life on my back.I never expected anything extravagantly. When my sister was sent away, I felt that I would never see her again in this life.Now, I have been living decadently for so many years, suddenly someone said that I used to be the pillar of her life, and exchanged my life for my bright future!How can I afford it?

"Sister, I don't want your money. You keep it and treat yourself. I am incompetent. I have been doing nothing for so many years. Now that I see you, I can't stay by your side to take care of you. I have to leave, my Life is already too dark. I need light, I need to escape from all this darkness - including you..."

I picked up my luggage, turned around, and walked away.My sister was lying on the stone bench, her face covered by messy hair.

I can't look back, I keep reminding myself in my heart.
