The weather is warm.
The temperature rose rapidly. In just a few days, the roses on both sides of the street were in full bloom. At a glance, all you could see were large patches of red, which looked particularly beautiful.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows gently, the flowers sway gracefully, and the air is filled with intoxicating fragrance, so that even breathing has a bit of a happy and beautiful taste.
The streets were quiet and deserted at this time.
The wide street seemed somewhat lonely, with only an occasional vehicle passing by, and the sound of the horn was light and gentle, as if afraid of breaking some wonderful and peaceful dream.
The streets are lined with tall camphor trees, standing in rows, looking very neat.
Under the camphor tree, a little girl of about eleven or twelve was sitting on a lounge chair. She looked very cute, with fair skin that had a special pink and tender look in the sun. Her eyes were big and bright, and her eyelashes were long and thick, like beautiful butterfly wings. When she lowered her eyelids, a shadow would be gently cast under her eyes, which was really cute.
The sunlight shines down, as if dancing gently on the street, and it feels warm when it falls on the body, which is extremely comfortable.
At this time, the little girl was holding a piece of red bean ice cream in her hand. The ice cream looked delicious. She probably didn't want to eat it all at once, so she ate it in small bites. The expression on her face was careful and attentive, but it was also a bit cute. The ice cream was cool and very sweet. It melted quickly in her mouth. The cool feeling seemed to be the taste of summer.
Her big eyes flickered, her small nose tilted up slightly, and there were tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, which looked like beautiful broken diamonds under the sunlight. Her eyes were fixed on the brightly colored wrapping paper in her hand, with a deep smile in her eyes and a satisfied look on her round face. Her cute and well-behaved appearance was very lovable.
It's been a really pleasant and beautiful summer.
There are cicadas chirping in the trees, but they are not annoying. On the contrary, the chirping seems to make this somewhat quiet street more lively.
The sunlight poured down gently and softly through the branches, casting brilliant and dazzling light on the ground, while the part of the sunlight blocked by the dense leaves formed mottled shadows of varying sizes on the ground.
The little girl hummed a song unconsciously while eating the ice cream. Because her voice was very low, we couldn't really tell what song she was singing. We only saw her round head shaking gently, her legs swaying back and forth, and a bright smile on her face. She looked very cute.
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the other side of the road——
“Xinxin!”
The little girl turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound. Suddenly, a light of surprise appeared in her clear eyes, and a smile suddenly filled her pink face. She jumped off the chair and ran a few steps. While running, she waved vigorously across the street.
"Mom!" Her voice was clear and sweet, like the singing of a beautiful oriole, soft and with the sweetness unique to a little girl of this age.
When she saw her mother waving at her to signal her not to run anymore, she immediately stopped, stood where she was, and happily looked at her mother who was walking towards her.
She can eat the sweet chocolate her mother bought again. Those chocolate candies are so sweet and delicious in her mouth. She can feel the taste of happiness even when she closes her eyes. She is looking forward to it very much.
However, tragedy happened at this moment——
In such a sweet and defenseless moment, despair is like an invisible big hand that destroys happiness in an instant, and all the good things are gone in an instant.
A shadow flashed before the little girl's eyes like lightning, and the smile on her face was completely frozen at the corner of her lips before she even had time to disappear...
A sharp and terrifying voice rang in my ears!
She raised her head in fear, panic filled her beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth wide, but fear prevented her from making any sound!
She saw the shadow passing fiercely in front of her mother!
Then... Mom actually flew up, like a kite that was suddenly blown up by a strong wind. The kite struggled in the wind and suddenly broke its string. A feeling of helplessness and fear rose immediately, as if the surroundings were filled with endless sea water, and she was a small boat in the vast ocean. Wherever she looked, she saw desolation and endless hesitation...
She stood there in a daze. This sudden scene made her lose the ability to perceive the world for a moment. She seemed to be frightened and stared blankly at everything happening in front of her. It was all like a cruel nightmare.
Is this real? She seemed to have a moment of amnesia. No, no, no! This can't be real! It's just a nightmare!
She pinched her arm hard, and the pain in her arm woke her up immediately. It turned out... this was not a dream!
Crystal tears instantly filled her bright eyes, and then slid down her cheeks one by one.
"Mom!" she screamed in horror, like a little animal that had been stabbed, her voice was painful and desperate.
However, there was no one on the empty streets.
No one could come down like a god to help her, this poor, helpless child...
At this moment, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant. Her feet could no longer support the weight of her entire body and she knelt on the ground powerlessly.
Mom was lying in the middle of the street, bright red blood pouring out of her body.
So much blood...
How can there be so much blood...
Large patches of blood quickly dyed the clean street red, and she staggered and barely stood up.
"I can't let anything happen to my mother!" This was the only thought in her mind at this moment. This thought was like a kind of belief, supporting her to stand up and not fall down again. She staggered, and it seemed as if a thousand years had passed before she ran to her mother's side across the short distance.
A vast area of ​​despair was spreading in my heart, and tears could not be suppressed and slid down my face, falling silently on the ground and on my mother's blood-stained clothes. The whole street seemed to be stained with this sad and painful atmosphere, and the air was full of sadness.
"Mom! Open your eyes and look at me! Mom, I'm Xinxin! Mom, I beg you, please open your eyes? Please?" She called her mother's name over and over again. Through her tearful eyes, she saw that her mother's eyes were still tightly closed, without the slightest reaction, as if she had completely lost the ability to perceive the world, or as if she was asleep . There were large patches of blood flowing from her body, which was shocking, as if she was on fire.
"What should I do? What should I do! How can I save my mother?" She was extremely frightened and panicked. The young girl suddenly thought of asking someone for help, as if this was the only way to save her mother.
She looked around in panic and saw that the car that had hit her mother was parked not far ahead!
Like a conditioned reflex, she immediately stood up, covered in blood, and ran towards the car.
"Please, save my mother! " She screamed at the top of her lungs, calling for help desperately, and gathered all her strength to run towards the car.
There is still some distance left before I can reach the car... Only a little distance... If I run a little faster, I will reach it...
"Please, save my mother!" She continued to shout, even a little incoherent. Her voice was so loud that it was noticeably hoarse.
She waved her arms vigorously to emphasize her presence, fearing that the other party would ignore her presence, fearing that the engine sound would suddenly start and take away her mother's only chance of survival...
However, that may be the most desperate sound in the world——
The car's engine actually started to roar, and then the car accelerated, faster and faster...
She opened her eyes wide in horror and looked at what was happening before her eyes in disbelief.
Is it going to drive away?
How can it drive away?
That was her last hope! That was the only hope to save her mother!
Just like a drowning person who is about to lose his last life-saving straw, a huge sense of fear swept through her heart again.
"No--"
She shouted in despair, then waved her hands even harder, chasing the car.
"Please stop the car, please stop, please save my mother!" She continued to shout unwillingly, waving her arms vigorously while running.
However, the owner of the car turned a deaf ear to such pleas. The car did not slow down at all, nor did it have any intention of stopping. Instead, it drove faster and faster. Soon, the car shrank into a tiny black dot in her vision. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the corner of the street...
The wind blew, and a heart-wrenching smell of despair spread in the air. On the deserted street, the little girl's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the sky for a long time.
The car had disappeared, never to be seen again...
Never again, I can't see...
On the entire street, the only things left were a little girl crying helplessly and her mother lying in a pool of blood.
All that's left is... despair...
A gust of wind blew.
The glass-like sunlight shone down, hitting the chocolate with blood stains...
That was the most desperate color in the world, a horrible nightmare that she would never forget...
