Ten Days End

I wanted to cry.

But Sister Siwei kept comforting me, which made me feel much better.

She said I was the real "hero" and that I saved everyone.

I held her hand all the time. All the adults made me feel scared, but Sister Siwei didn't seem to be.

"Sister, are we going to go with them?" I pointed at the aunts and uncles in front of me.

Since they walked onto the street, they smelled very complicated, and they seemed to be thinking about many things.

"Little hero, although I don't like them very much, this ghost place is too strange." She frowned and looked around the shabby city around her, "Anyway, more people are better than fewer people. It might be more dangerous if we go alone."

"Ah...?"

I find it a bit difficult to understand. The uncle who led the group clearly exuded the smell of "murderous intent". Didn't Sister smell it? Or did she smell it and still think that uncle was safe?

At that time, I didn't think carefully about what my sister said, and I didn't know that only I could smell that strange smell. Later, I thought that this might be the most painful decision in my life.

After walking a few hundred meters, the leading uncle seemed to think of something and turned back to stare at my sister.

My sister looked a little scared, but she still tried to hide me behind her.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

The leading uncle grinned and stood in front of the two of us.

"Little girl." Uncle called, "What's your name?"

"Li Siwei."

"Nice name." Uncle nodded, "Just now I felt that you are very smart, shall we cooperate?"

"Cooperation?"

"Yes." Uncle was full of smiles, but he smelled bad, "Siwei, I am more or less a powerful person outside, and I usually like to work with smart people, which makes me feel powerful, so do you want to join us?"

After that, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, opened it and revealed the emerald green gravel inside.

"Just now the dragon head said that we have to collect tens of thousands of these small stones, and the more people there are, the faster we can finish it." Uncle said, "Do you know what the most important point is to complete a big thing?"

"It is to survive." Sister said.

"No, it's about building an invincible team." The uncle smiled, "I have countless experiences in building teams, and I will try my best to bring out everyone's strengths. You are a smart girl, so I invite you to join me and we will succeed together."

I hid behind my sister and didn't dare to speak, and kept smelling the heavy smell on the uncle.

My sister hesitated for a while, frowned, and asked, "What's the name of this uncle?"

"My last name is Wan, Wancai." The uncle replied, "And don't call me "uncle", I'm just forty."

This uncle is really strange. Only when he said his name and age, the heavy smell on him was less.

"Brother Wan." My sister changed her words and called, "I have seen some big men before, but they didn't talk like you. Have you really built many teams?"

"Oh..." Uncle Wan looked at my sister and his eyes changed, and the smell on his body also decreased a little, "I didn't expect that Xiao Li is not young, but he has a lot of experience. I have indeed formed many excellent teams, and I am their leader. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I will let you see my ability in future cooperation. Similarly, I also hope that you can shine and contribute to our big family. "

"Big family...?" Sister asked doubtfully.

"I have talked to several of them." Uncle Wan pointed to several aunts in the distance and smiled, "In the future, we will get along as "family", so that everyone will be more united and more motivated to do things. In the future, everyone will be a family in a big family. What do you think?"

The smell of "doubt" on my sister is getting stronger and stronger.

"Brother Wan... If I join your so-called "big family", what do I need to do?"

"It's nothing." Uncle Wan replied, "The only requirement is that we discuss anything together. Our family guarantees fairness and justice. Anyway, there are only ten days. Let's try our best to collect these stones together. "

That day, my sister thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to Uncle Wan's request.

Our lives changed completely from that day on.

There was nothing special in the first few days. Uncle Wan really acted like a parent. He divided everyone into groups, arranged for them to participate in some games, and arranged for the remainingThe next few aunts who were not suitable for the game went out to find food.

I don’t know if the aunts really couldn’t find food, or if there was no food in this place at all. They had returned empty-handed for two consecutive days, and only on the third day did they bring back some very unpalatable canned food and mineral water.

Uncle Wan smelled very angry, but he still greeted us with a smile. He said "we are all family", but the unpleasant smell on his body could not be covered up.

I often saw Uncle Wan’s eyes very cold in the middle of the night. He didn’t like to sleep. He just stared at other people in the middle of the night, and the smell on his body became more and more terrible.

Because my father often came home drunk, I was always afraid to sleep too deeply. Every time there was a slight movement at night, I would wake up instantly, which also allowed me to notice Uncle Wan’s every move at night.

I would wake up as soon as someone turned over, and after waking up, I would subconsciously look at Uncle Wan. He never sleeps.

By the way, this may be my "specialty", right?

I mean... I wake up faster than others, so it should be my "specialty", right?

Why did I think of it only now...?

Before, the teacher asked us to fill in our "specialties". I thought about it for a long time and could only write "no". Those children with specialties were praised by the teacher. The teacher asked us to applaud them, and I clapped harder than anyone else.

I don't know why I clapped so hard, but I just kept clapping. I really want to have a "specialty".

But now it's good. If the teacher asks us to write our "specialties" again in the future, I can write "wake up faster than others". Will the teacher praise me?

Will there be children applauding me?

Can I... see them again? Can I see Xu Jiahua again...?

I still want to cry.

Although I don't miss my parents and teachers, I really want to cry.

I sleep on my sister's shoulder every night. I don't like those adults. I only like my sister.

But my sister looks very tired recently. She even cut her palm today.

She kept telling me "nothing", but I always felt something was wrong, and her smell began to become turbid.

Uncle Wan did not assign me any work, but just asked me to stay in the house all the time.

Fortunately, I could clean the house, and I would clean it up every day and wait for everyone to come back.

But the atmosphere among the adults became more and more tense, and they started to quarrel more and more. Finally, on the sixth day, something unexpected happened.
