Fire, eyes full of fire. The crackling sound of the raging fire was mixed with the sound of falling beams.
The room was full of panicked people, screaming, crying, so noisy.
"Yan'er! Shu'er!" My mother's cry was still echoing around me.
"Mom, mother..." The child's frightened and immature voice kept getting louder. Eventually it fell into silence.
"Shu'er, come here, come here. Brother will give you candied haws."
"Shu'er, come here, daddy, give me a hug. Oh, my baby Shu'er."
"Shu'er, Mom really hopes you never grow up, never."
My head hurts, it really hurts. Brother, don't go. Dad, stay, stay. Mother, mother, don't leave Shuer alone.
"Brother Jin, brother Jin, Shu'er wants to eat candied haws."
"Brother Jin, take me out to play. Daddy will listen to you. If you take me to play, Daddy will definitely give it to you."
"Brother Jin, mom said you won't come here anymore, is that true?"
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin..."
"Hey, why are you hiding here? I understand, you have been scolded by daddy, right? Every time dad scolded me, I would hide away from him. Let me eat magnolia cake for you. I love magnolia cake the most. After eating magnolia cake, it is sweet, and I won't be sad or scared anymore."
The surroundings became quiet again, with only the scent of magnolia flowers lingering. Suddenly a small white hand appeared in front of his eyes. The little hand stretched out and said in a clear and clear voice: "Who are you?"
Who are you?
Who are you!
Who are you...
I would rather never know you for the rest of my life.
