Chapter 23: The Silver Collar

Tang Xin has heard Song Yao talk about her tragic experience of being abducted and trafficked many times.

According to the memories that remained in her mind, her parents loved her very much, and always called her "little princess", never calling her by her name or other nickname.

When she was about five years old, her mother was away from home during the summer vacation, so she was sent to a rural police station where her father worked.

Once her father went to the police, she missed her mother, so she took advantage of the fact that the policeman aunt who took care of her was not paying attention, and walked out of the yard of the police station alone, crying on the road outside to find her mother.

At this time, a couple of men and women came over and said that they were friends of their mothers and could take her to the county seat to find their mothers.

So, she followed the couple and took the bus to the county railway station first.

In the station square, the woman fed her a bottle of wahaha. Soon, she fell asleep.

When he woke up, he had already arrived in a village in a county in Henan Province and was sold to his later adoptive parents.

At that time, the adoptive parents had no children, and they still loved her and did not beat and scold her.

But four years later, when Song Yao was about nine years old, they gave birth to a son. From then on, Song Yao's nightmare began.

At that time, Song Yao was already in the third grade of primary school, but after her younger brother was born, her adoptive mother did not allow her to study, and asked her to chop firewood, pull pigweed, make a fire to cook, wash vegetables and dishes, and help her adoptive mother hold her younger brother.

If she didn't do a good job, such as if she didn't cut enough firewood, didn't fill a basket of hogweed, burned rice, or accidentally fell while holding her brother, her adoptive mother would beat her with a rolling pin.

When she was beaten, she was not allowed to cry, and the more she cried, the worse she was beaten.

Later, her adoptive mother was tyrannical and addicted, and beating her with a rolling pin could no longer satisfy her perverted abusive desires, so she used red-hot tongs to burn Song Yao's arms and calves, resulting in burn scars on her arms and calves that can still be seen today.

At the age of fifteen, Song Yao had already become a slim, beautiful and beautiful girl.

A lame bachelor in his thirties in a neighboring village fell in love with Song Yao and was willing to pay 200,000 yuan as a bride price to her adoptive mother, wanting to marry her.

After Song Yao learned that her adoptive mother was going to sell herself to the bachelor for 200,000 yuan, she fled from her adoptive family overnight, and with the little money she usually secretly saved, she took a train to the south and worked in a plastic products factory for three years with a fake ID card.

During her part-time job, she had a co-worker in the same dormitory, and her hometown was in Lengxi County, Hengjiang City. According to the remaining memories in her mind, Song Yao felt that the accent of this worker was very similar to the accent of her hometown before she was trafficked.

So, a year ago, she came to Hengjiang City from the south, ready to find her biological parents.

Considering that it takes a lot of time to find relatives, Song Yao chose to work as a waiter in KTV. In this way, she only needs to rush to the song hall to work before 6 o'clock in the evening, and during the day, she can go to the nearby county and city to look for clues about her parents.

Unfortunately, she didn't know her real name, only that her parents and grandparents called her "little princess", and that she remembered that her father used to work in a rural police station and that her mother seemed to be a teacher in an elementary school. As for who her parents are and where they work, she has no memory at all.

Therefore, after searching for more than a year, she still did not find any clues about her biological parents......

"Yaoyao, what are you talking to me about?" Tang Xin asked after entering a box that was temporarily unoccupied.

"I want to go to the police to collect blood samples and enter them into the national anti-abduction gene database. That way, if my parents are looking for me and take a blood sample and enter it into the genetic database, the police can match us, and maybe find my parents. Didn't you find your parents either? Or we'll go and collect blood samples together in two days?"

Tang Xin's face darkened suddenly, he was silent for a while, and replied, "Yaoyao, my situation is different from yours. Your parents have loved you since you were a child, treating you as a baby and a princess, and then abducted by human traffickers, it is estimated that they have been looking for you for more than ten years. So you should take the initiative to find your relatives.

"However, I was abandoned by my parents. My hometown is in K County, M City, Hunan Province, and I heard from an aunt at the welfare home that as soon as I was born, I was abandoned in a garbage can next to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in K County. When they found me, I was ulcerated all over, with maggots growing in my left ear, and I don't know how long I had been in the trash. Later, they took me to the hospital and saved my life.

"Later experiences and encounters, I was similar to you. After six years in the orphanage, I was adopted by a middle-aged couple with no children, who are now my current adoptive parents. They also sent me to school for two years, but when I was nine years old, they gave birth to a son, and since then they have been disgusting and abusing me.

"When I was eleven years old, I ran away from my breadwinner and started wandering. When I was sixteen years old, I wandered to Hengjiang City. Once, when my master brought a batch of goods home at night, he met two robbers in a small alley outside the antique street and tried to rob him of his antiques. I happened to pick up garbage with a few wandering friends, so I helped him fight off the robbers and save his goods.

"My master was very grateful to me, so he asked me if I would like to work as an apprentice in his shop? I happened to be tired of the wandering life, so I followed him to Gu Xin Zhai, and since then I have lived there in peace.

"Actually, from the time I was sensible, I hated my biological parents and never thought to look for them. To this day, I still think that even if my biological parents were to stand by my side at this moment, I would not recognize them. ”

Song Yao looked at him with sympathetic eyes and asked, "Since you don't want to find your biological parents, why did you join the WeChat group that is looking for your relatives?"

"That group was dragged in by one of my brothers, who used to wander together. He was also looking for his parents, so he joined the group first, and then pulled me in. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Xin glanced at the ring on his hand, and suddenly asked, "Yaoyao, do you keep some of the items before you were abducted?" such as clothes, photos, and the like. ”

Song Yao hurriedly said: "I have a silver collar, which I wore around my neck before I was abducted. I took it out of my adoptive parents' house that time, hoping that one day it would be used as proof of recognition with my parents, because I believed that my parents would remember the silver collar. ”

Tang Xin asked in surprise: "Silver collar, why didn't the traffickers snatch this silver collar?"

"According to my adoptive father, this silver collar was around my neck when the traffickers took me to his house. At that time, the traffickers wanted to take the silver collar off and take it away, but my adoptive father said that I was beautiful and did not allow them to take it. The traffickers couldn't help it, so they asked my adoptive father to pay an extra fifty dollars and keep the silver collar. ”

"Can you show me the silver collar? Maybe I can find some clues and information about your parents from this collar. ”
