Chapter 18

 

Shen Qianqian was suspicious that it was a dead man, and his hair stood on end, staring at the hand in horror for fear that it would suddenly have long nails.

 

He no longer cared about snatching him with the forklift. He stood up tremblingly, picked up his bag, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

 

“…… You sleep, you sleep, you don’t care about me. I didn’t make noise to you, you sleep ……”

 

But before he could take two steps, there was a sudden loud bang behind him, the soles of his feet sank, and the whole person fell down.

 

His first instinct was that the ghost had grabbed his foot, and he turned his head to look at it while screaming. But he didn’t see a ghost, only that the mountain of garbage that rose behind him had collapsed, and the dead man was gone.

The three forklifts had already reached the cliff and were noisily shoveling garbage.

 

Shen Qianqian stopped crying and got up. He was obviously scared in his heart and couldn’t help but tremble towards the break.

 

What about the dead? Was he forked away?

 

Shen Qianqian breaks in the garbage mountain, slowly poking his head out to look down.

 

“Ahhh!!” Then he screamed in horror.

 

The dead man lay face to face on the small slope directly below, the hat covering his face had slipped away, exposing his entire face to the bright light, and even every eyelash hanging from his lower eyelids was clearly visible.

 

“Ah……”

 

How does this dead man look like his older brother? Why is he so much like his brother from the Cloud Peak who gave him the black balls and the scarf?

 

Shen Qianqian looked in a different direction, keeping it in the same direction as the person below.

No, he still can’t see it.

He took a few steps back and then lay down, tilting his head up to look at it from a bottom-up angle. He saw the high bridge of the nose, the reserved lips and the perfectly conlined chin.

It’s exactly the same as what he once looked up on the playground of the welfare home!

 

Shen Qianqian’s heart thundered and the rumbling sound overwhelmed the movement of the forklift. The sound was deafening.

 

It’s not a dead man or a ghost, it’s his brother!

Brother, his brother from the top of the clouds……

 

Shen Qianqian had gotten excited as he reached and tried pulling him. However, Chu Ya’s body sank down suddenly, and he was a little farther away from him.

 

He saw a forklift digging out the garbage under Chu Ya, and if he sank a few more times, Chu Ya would be shoveled away by the big fork, pulled to the row of houses, and poured into the big pond to stir it up.

 

“Wake up! You can’t be a garbage man!” Shen Qianqian shouted hoarsely at Chu Ya.

 

Chu Ya continued to sink without any reaction. Shen Qianqian looked at the forklift and then at him. He then simply stretched out his two legs to support the garbage next to him and slide down.

 

“Ouch!”

 

Shen Qianqian fell beside Chu Ya. Not caring about the pain in his chest, he quickly got up, grabbed Chu Ya’s shoulder and dragged him to the left.

 

Chu Ya weighed more than 100 catties, and Shen Qianqian with his two feet in turn, kicking the garbage out of two small pits under his feet and failed to drag Chu Ya with only half an inch to show for the effort.

 

Seeing that the forklift lifted its big fork again, Shen Qianqian fear in urgency and couldn’t help but cry loudly. He could only grab Chu Ya’s shoulder and try his best.

 

“Wake up, wake up…… Ahh……… Hey…… Woohoo……”

 

Boom!

As the forklift pulled out a large fork full of garbage, Shen Qianqian sank suddenly. He also flipped over two times in a row.

 

He quickly got up, pushed up the brim of his hat that blocked his eyes and turned his head to find Chu Ya. He saw that Chu Ya had been shifted and was lying on the slope to the left. They were closer to the ground, only one story high from the forklift’s big fork.

 

“Who’s going to help me…… ” Shen Qianqian cried helplessly, looking around with teary eyes, but there was no third person in sight in this garbage dump except for him and Chu Ya.

 

Seeing that the forklift was about to start again, Shen Qianqian found that if he pushed Chu Ya down the left slope, he could get farther away from the forklift.

 

He immediately put away his crying and reached out to push Chu Ya.

 

“Hard! Tug-of-war! The students in the second class are working hard…… Winner? Primary 2 class.

 

Shen Qianqian moved his legs, arched his back, shouted slogans to himself with his eyes closed, and pushed Chu Ya with all his might. He was full of nervousness and anxiety, and he couldn’t hold back his crying, and a thought actually flashed in his mind at this time-

He is indeed a student in the second class of primary school, so he had to talk to Liu Sijin about that in the future.

 

“Hard! Tug-of-war! The students in the second class are working hard.”

 

Chu Ya was originally lying on the slope, but he was finally pushed to move slowly and slid down with the loose garbage in the sound of Shen Qianqian’s chanting.

 

Shen Qianqian hurriedly followed Chu Ya and slipped down. Because his center of gravity was shifted and he couldn’t stabilize his body, he plunged into a pile of dilapidated curtains at the foot of the garbage mountain in the chaotic sound.

 

Shen Qianqian laid motionlessly on his stomach, his brain was buzzing. He was just about to cry loudly when he remembered Chu Ya. He held back the bag of tears and only raised his head to find his brother.

 

Chu Ya was lying not far away and there was a pile of rags under him, Shen Qianqian quickly got up to look at him, stretched out his hand and pushed him.

 

He saw the three forklifts full of garbage returning to the factory, but he also knew that they were just going to take out the garbage and were about to come out.

 

“We’re going to get out of here, but I can’t carry you, what should I do? Wake up, I can’t carry you.”

 

Chu Ya still has his eyes close. Shen Qianqian looked around, his eyes fell on a cart not far away.

 

It was a rusty iron cart with four small wheels supporting a long, narrow iron plate, and two handrails at one end that were taller than him. He had seen the senior students push it and carry the garbage they picked up to the barbed wire.

 

Shen Qianqian ran over, pulling left and right hard, pulling the cart out of the middle of several broken cement bricks.

 

When he hurriedly walked back with the cart, three forklifts also left the factory one after another, and the roar of the machine starting was also heard in the row of houses.

 

Shen Qianqian reached Chu Ya’s side, hugging his shoulders and dragging him to the cart. But he tried several times without success.

 

Shen Qianqian’s cotton hat had long slipped off and was only hanging around his neck by two ear guards. While the hat was on his back, like an arched turtle shell. He looked at the forklift that was getting closer and closer, and his head was sweating while white smoke was rising in the light.

 

He circled around Chu Ya twice, and found that the cart was very low, the iron plate was close to the ground, and Chu Ya was lying at a height that barely exceeded the cart board.

 

Shen Qianqian gave up the idea of carrying Chu Ya to the cart, and turned him over and pushed him out.

 

“Ahhh……Ahh…… Hard! Tug-of-war! The students in the second class are working hard.”

 

When the forklift approached the garbage mountain, Shen Qianqian pushed Chu Ya down the garbage and lay on the iron plate, the length was just right. He didn’t dare to stay, only holding the handrail of the cart and trying to get out of there as soon as possible.

 

The cart carrying Chu Ya became very heavy, and he couldn’t push it, so he used his shoulders to push it, supported it with his back, shouted slogans and straightened his legs. He finally let a few small wheels start to turn.

 

He was panting, his small neck was stretched long, and his eyes were sore from sweat. But he couldn’t spare his hand to rub it, so he only kept blinking his eyes.

 

When Shen Qianqian finally pushed the cart away from the garbage mountain, he completely relaxed and immediately wanted to fall to the ground. But the ground was full of standing water, and he staggered to the side of the cart, sat down, took off the cotton hat hanging around his neck, and slowly lay down in the spare space beside Chu Ya.

 

Shen Qianqian panted, turned his head sideways to look at Chu Ya’s face, and couldn’t help but laugh twice when he found that his eyelashes were fluttering when he found his exhaled breath.

 

He looked up at the garbage mountain and saw that there was only a vacant lot left, and forklifts were returning to the treatment plant with a full load of garbage. The iron door of the factory is opened, and the machine rumbles loudly, which is the sound of the garbage being processed in the treatment pool.

 

Under the bright headlights of the garbage dump, Chu Ya, who had not reacted all this time, suddenly frowned, and a few wrinkles appeared clearly in the center of his eyebrows. But the look quickly disappeared from his face as he returned to his sleeping plain appearance.

 

Shen Qianqian sat up suddenly, stretched out his hand and pushed him. He asked excitedly and nervously, “Are you awake?”

 

Chu Ya seemed to fall back into a deep sleep, and there was no reaction. Shen Qianqian was slightly disappointed, but more joyful.

He looked at Chu Ya carefully, looking at his eyebrows, eyes, and nose. He was dizzy by this unexpected surprise, and his heart was pounding.

 

The treasure in the garbage mountain, whoever picks it up becomes its owner. And since his  brother became a garbage man, and he picked him up, he becomes his.

 

Shen Qianqian never thought that he would have such good luck and be able to pick up such a good treasure. All the children in the welfare home were not as lucky as him, and even the senior students who picked up the steel ball wheel were not as lucky as him.

No, no, no, many of the big class students who picked up the steel ball wheel were not as lucky as him.

 

Shen Qianqian continued to stare at Chu Ya and whispered: “You were almost disturbed by them, I saved you. I pushed you here, otherwise you will be a garbage man, and you will be stuffed into the pool and spoiled.”

 

Shen Qianqian touched Chu Ya’s hand lovingly and called out to his brother very softly, but he was a little incredulous and only repeated over and over again: “I picked you up, you are mine.” 

 

A gust of cold wind blew and the heat on Shen Qianqian’s body had dissipated. He couldn’t help but shiver. He felt that he couldn’t stay here any longer, Chu Ya would be cold, so he got up and walked towards the office with his hands raised in the cart.

 

After taking two steps, he took off his cotton hat and put it on for Chu Ya.

 

“My hat is warm, you wear it first. I’ll tie you a strap.”

 

The cotton hat was too small for Chu Ya, and the two ear protectors were also short, so he could barely put his ear protectors on his ears and couldn’t tie them to his chin. After curling up a few times, Shen Qianqian had to let the cotton hat cover his head.

 

Shen Qianqian pushed the cart hard, but his eyes were staring at Chu Ya, and he couldn’t help but laugh while panting.

 

“How did I pick you up? I think about it, when I saw you, I said hey, hey, haha…… I said hey, hey…… Hahaha, I didn’t know it was you.”

 

Shen Qianqian was in a trance and always wanted to stop and touch Chu Ya’s face. He carefully touched him to make sure that he was real. But the only shred of reason he had left warned him that the weather was bitterly cold, and that he had to go back to the office as soon as possible, and that he could continue to touch him again after they arrive.

 

Shen Qianqian quickened his pace, only to let go of the handrail when he couldn’t control his surging emotions, punching and kicking the air behind him, and screaming in his mouth.

 

After the excitement of the chest cavity about to burst is vented a little, only then did he push the cart again and move on.
