The cold snowflakes drifted on my body, like cold poisonous snakes, corroding my fragile skin.
Kiana's consciousness slowly faded, and her limbs completely lost their response.
The snow quickly buried him, leaving only the heavy backpack behind him exposed on the snow.
She is going to die.
At least, that's what Kiana thought before her consciousness faded.
On the eve of completely fainting, Kiana made a weak cry for help in a hoarse and dry voice.
“Dad…Dad…”
"do not go……"
"..."
She didn't understand why Siegfried left her alone in the snow.
Even the tears that flowed were frozen into ice flowers in the biting cold air.
When Kiana woke up again, she only saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
There seemed to be a cluster of warm firelight beside me, illuminating the entire cabin.
She was rescued in a simple wooden house. Kiana wanted to get up and thank the benefactor who saved her, but her unconscious limbs did not support her to get up.
"Are you awake? Have some porridge. This is all we have, given our limited resources."
Kiana turned her head and saw a child about her age, with black hair and brown eyes, not native to Siberia.
Li Mo sat next to her, picked up a bowl of hot porridge, and fed it into Kiana's mouthful by mouthful.
Kiana didn't refuse. She had been hungry for two days, and a bowl of thin hot porridge was precious to her.
"Don't you want to eat?"
"I've eaten."
"Um……"
Kiana said "hmm" obediently and accepted Li Mo's feeding.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Kiana tried to get up again, but still failed.
An unacceptable possibility came to mind: she was paralyzed.
"Sorry……"
"Why are you apologizing for no reason?"
"I can't seem to move..."
"That's it..."
Li Mo stroked his chin, looking as if he was considering something.
Kiana couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. She had already guessed that the other party might abandon her, just like her father had left her alone...
In the sparsely populated snowfield, a person needs to try his best to survive, let alone dragging a burden.
She is paralyzed and has no value.
It is impossible to walk out of the snowfield by yourself. The end result will be either starvation or freezing to death.
As long as the other party is well prepared, there will be no problem in getting out of this cold and snowy place.
Kiana would not blame him for abandoning her, but she really could not provide any other value and could only be a burden.
"It's okay, things will get better in the future. Just stay here for now. One more person won't have much of an impact on me."
Li Mo's answer surprised Kiana. She didn't understand why the other party accepted her so calmly.
From the porridge with few rice grains just now, it can be seen that his quality of life is actually not very high.
Kiana pursed her lips and finally said only one sentence: "I'm sorry..."
"Why do you keep apologizing? Forget it, let's talk about other topics. What's your name, and why are you here alone? There's no one else here for dozens of miles except me. The weather is so bad, no one would want to live here. How could you, such a young child, come here alone?"
Li Mo asked in confusion, but his question hurt Kiana, who whimpered and sobbed softly.
Chapter 64 Guiqi's Dream (Part )
"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you crying? Okay, just pretend I didn't ask those questions. Sorry." Li Mo scratched his head at a loss. He didn't know how to comfort the crying Kiana.
but……
He knew how to feed the firewood and make it burn brighter.
The fire in the hut grew brighter.
"Kiana..."
"My name is Kiana... Kiana Kaslana."
Kiana quickly stopped sobbing and answered quietly.
"Kiana? It's a nice name. My name is Li Mo, as in stranger."
The temperature in the house seemed to rise a little, and Kiana was no longer restrained, and the two exchanged their pasts.
Li Mo learned that Kiana had been separated from her father, although it was more likely that she was abandoned... After all, as long as you are willing and keep holding hands, you will never get lost.
Kiana also knew that Li Mo had lived here alone for a long time, but strangely, Li Mo said that he had no memory of an earlier time.
"I see...you and your dad got lost, so I wanted to leave here early and find your dad."
Li Mo pondered for a moment and then said, "There was a snowstorm yesterday. After it calms down in two days, the snowfield should be safe. Then I will take you away from here and find your father."
Kiana was stunned for a moment and bit her pink lips.
She tried to move her limbs, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even control a finger.
With such physical condition, let alone helping each other, it might even kill Li Mo.
"I……"
Kiana opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Li Mo.
"Given your current health condition, you must go to the city as soon as possible. There is no hospital in the snowfield and they can't cure you. If you stay any longer, I'm afraid you will miss the timely treatment time."
"Okay, okay, don't worry. I've lived here for many years and am very familiar with the environment here. Nothing will happen."
"I promise you, I will get you out of here, Kiana."
Li Mo smiled and took a fruit from the simple wooden table beside him. He stuffed it into Qiana's mouth and said gently, "So eat it, fill your stomach, and take care of your spirit. Tomorrow will be better. Take care of yourself, and then you will have the strength to take care of other beautiful things in the world."
Kiana stared blankly at the fruit in her mouth, her eyes aching with sorrow as she murmured incoherently, "Thank you... Thank you..."
The fruit was not tasty, and was even a little bitter, but Kiana ate it whole.
She cannot be picky about food and cannot let down other people's kindness.
Li Mo did not break his promise. On the third day, he packed his bags and walked alone on the endless snowfield with the paralyzed Kiana on his back.
Li Mo's knees trembled as he took labored steps. Carrying Kiana on his back, he struggled forward through the icy snow like a beast at the end of its rope. His shoe prints dug deep into the snow, but were quickly obscured by the wind and frost.
Li Mo, who was not very strong, carried Kiana on his back for two whole days.
Later, in the boundless land of ice and snow, Li Mo's footprints were as red as blood, glaringly appearing in the silver-white world.
The biting cold wind whistled past, tearing at his dry skin. The icy cold penetrated into Li Mo's body through the wounds on the soles of his feet, like thousands of ants gnawing at his nerves.
Li Mo's eyebrows twitched violently, his face was distorted, and he looked very painful.
For a child in his early teens, this behavior was no different from committing suicide. No one would believe that a child in his early teens would walk in the snow for two days with a burden.
But Li Mo did it.
Kiana watched helplessly, struggling internally, unable to do anything.
She kept looking at the countless scarlet blood marks behind Li Mo, unable to say a word.
After entering the city, the two were ragged, sleeping in the open, and had no house to live in, so they could only sit on chairs.
Kiana leaned on Li Mo's shoulder, and Li Mo leaned on Kiana's head, and like all wanderers, they fell asleep in the cold wind.
In the first year, Kiana was still unable to move, and Li Mo could only do the most basic physical work to barely support the two of them.
Most of the money earned was used to buy medicine and nutritional supplements for Kiana, hoping that Kiana could recover soon.
Li Mo himself doesn't need to spend much money, and doesn't need to spend extra money on his own treatment.
He has had a special physique since he was young, and he can recover from injuries in just a few days.
He couldn't get out of the snowfield. Every time he left the cabin and the snowfield, he would return to the starting point the next day.
This time, he was only planning to send Kiana out, but he didn't expect that he would leave with her.
Therefore, Li Mo paid more attention to Kiana. If it weren't for Kiana, he would probably have spent his whole life in that deserted little cabin.
So Li Mo doesn't feel that Kiana owes him anything, even though Kiana doesn't think so.
Kiana felt that she owed too much, too much... so much that no matter how much she gave, it still wouldn't be enough.
In the second year, Li Mo worked like crazy and his income increased a lot, so he was able to find a cheap rental house to live in.
In the third year, perhaps because of the medicine or some special reasons, Kiana's body recovered completely and she helped Li Mo work and earn money.
The two of them didn't earn much, but they were always happy when they got home after a day's work.
We ate cheap snacks together, sat by the window, and looked at the lonely moon.
Together we did chores and cleaned the house. Holding hands, we strolled along the riverbank, counting the little yellow ducks by the river and chatting about the fun things we encountered that day.
Because they are making their lives better and better through their own efforts.
Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.
Free time, a warm home, people I want to see and have seen...
Kiana is even a little addicted to this kind of life and doesn't want to break it.
In addition to Li Mo and Qiyana's special physiques, their income is slowly increasing, and their quality of life is getting better and better. They bought a refrigerator and can drink Coke together in the evening.
Later on, we bought a TV. On weekends, we would sit together, shoulder to shoulder, and stay up late to watch any TV show.
They even bought two mobile phones. Although they were semi-smart and only had a few built-in mini-games, Li Mo and Kiana would continue to challenge their gaming skills to see who had the higher score in the mini-games.
Both of them feel a sense of satisfaction when they buy things with the money they have earned through hard work.
This is their home, and their efforts make this home better little by little.
Every time he heard Kiana's innocent and hearty laughter, Li Mo felt that everything was worth it. It was as if sweet rain and dew were flowing into his heart, warming the dry fields that had been dry for a long time.
The dark night sky is dotted with bright stars, dotted with inky clouds. Under the dome, the lights of thousands of homes are shining brightly.
Clear water can reflect a person's face, but clear eyes can see the pure and noble soul hidden deep in the heart.
In this materialistic, chaotic and noisy world, few people stop for others.
Through the wall, you can faintly hear sweet words and love talks all over the street, and countless raindrops shatter the night into pieces of mirrors.
It’s a fickle world and a changing era.
Sometimes, good things are not good, just like Li Mo and Qiyana can only afford a cheap semi-smart phone.
Those who are at the forefront of the times have already used brand new epoch-making smart touch-screen phones, but they may not be as happy as they are.
In the fourth year, Kiana's aunt Theresa contacted Kiana.
She also expressed her deep apologies for Kiana's past experiences and invited Kiana to come to her so that she could make up for what she had owed Kiana over the years.
Li Mo said nothing. He had no right to stop Kiana from choosing a better environment. He respected all her choices. As long as Kiana was happy, everything was fine.
That night, Li Mo sat on the river bank all night and came back very late, almost at dawn the next day before he returned home.
The shoes were neatly arranged, and there was no one around.
"Ha, ha ha..." Li Mo lowered his head, his voice gradually becoming hoarse. When it really came to this moment, he still found it difficult to accept this result.
The laughter of the past three years kept emerging in his memories, and every little detail with Kiana was Li Mo's most precious treasure.
He thought he could accept it and endure it, but he couldn't help it. He knelt on the ground, bent his body, and whimpered softly. This was the most vulnerable moment Li Mo had ever been.
When I first realized that I could never leave the snowfield, I wasn't even one tenth as sad as I am now.
