After everything was ready, Tian Tian took the escalator downstairs.

I saw that every floor was spacious and bright without exception, and it was bustling with people;

People are almost always busy or in a hurry, and the leisurely and casual wandering that you usually see when strolling around the mall is not visible at all.

Because he was in a hurry to go back, Tian Tian didn't want to wander around or stay at will.

"Mao Xia!", "Mao Xia!", "Mao Xia!", ......

Suddenly, there seemed to be a call in Tian Tian's ears.

She suddenly jumped with a stir, and her heart jumped involuntarily.

Mao Xia?Mao Xia?Mao Xia, not ......?

So, she spun around like crazy, looking around with joy and excitement, searching.

But, unfortunately, what greeted her eyes was still the tide of people and car shadows, still hurried footsteps, wheels rolling, and noisy, but there were no short and innocent children, not one, let alone the Mao Xia in her heart.

However, just now, she seemed to have heard that call.

Could it be that I am in a trance, or I want to have a heartfelt child, and I have auditory hallucinations?

Tian Tian felt inexplicable.

Oh, by the way, there is also a possibility, that is, the same name, and others take this name.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

However, when Mao Xia was mentioned, her thoughts came like a tsunami, and she was almost swallowed up and suffocated.

In an instant, her thoughts drifted far, far away, that year, that month, that small mountain village...... It all popped up in my head as quickly as the opening credits of a movie, frame by frame, frame by frame......

It's like a scabbed wound that has been accidentally hit, and it is bloody again, and the pain is not stop again.

At this moment, tears poured out like a flood, gradually blurring her eyes.

Soon, everything around them became very vague and hazy.

Everyone hurried away, and no one noticed Tian Tian's gaffe and abnormality in the bustling crowd.

However, she was still unwilling, so she couldn't wait to look everywhere and not let go of every corner, but, unfortunately, the result still disappointed her.

After calming down a little, Tian Tian took out the paper, wiped her tears, and walked out of the mall step by step.

She took out the foldable umbrella she carried with her from her bag, unfolded it with a "snap", and raised it above her head, so that it could not only block the bright sun, but also hide her somewhat embarrassing gaffe.

As she walked, she was immersed in the memories of the past.

Xu was so intoxicated that she had already walked over the overpass before she suddenly remembered the little beggar begging for money on the bridge.

Tian Tian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled sadly.

Maybe it's because of the rush hour, the only bus that goes all the way back is always crowded.

Originally, she wanted to find a car with a more vacant seat to ride, but unexpectedly, seeing that several cars were still full and overcrowded, she no longer had illusions and expectations, and decided to come next, no matter how many people there were, just go straight on.

Finally, the car came, and the doors slowly opened.

Everyone rushed to the back door, and she hurried behind the crowd in three steps and two steps, and reluctantly squeezed into the car.

The conductor staggered to the back door with the ticket box in one hand, and reminded the passengers who had just come up to buy tickets in a rough voice.

Fortunately, Tian Tian had already prepared a one-yuan ticket and held it in the palm of his hand.

So, she immediately took the initiative to hand over the money.

Because there was almost nowhere to put the foot, and the other left foot was almost suspended, so the car had been started, and she was not stable at all, and due to inertia, she almost fell down with an unstable center of gravity.

Long buses with full carriages of passengers meander through the steel forest, sometimes speeding and sometimes stopping for a few minutes.

I don't know how long I stood there, Tian Tian finally arrived.

She squeezed through the crowd and struggled to get out of the car.

As soon as she landed, she realized that both of her feet were numb and uncomfortable.

Her first instinct was to relieve her pain and discomfort as much as possible.

So, she bent down and rubbed her two calves, but it was useless.

Helpless, she had to stand in place with a sad and helpless face, relying on strong willpower, waiting for the discomfort to gradually dissipate.

I don't know how long it took, but my feet finally won't be soft and I can't walk.

That's when she breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, after Tian Tian took a bath, he sat down leisurely and watched TV.

Suddenly, I jumped into a documentary report on "cleaning up and rectifying the city's appearance".

According to the report, recently, in addition to vigorously rectifying the "indiscriminate stalls," the relevant municipal departments have also cracked down on beggars and homeless people in downtown areas.

In order to escape, in order to avoid the severe punishment of the chengguan, even if the watermelons or plums rolled down from the car, the hawkers who had been calculating had no time to take care of them.

I thought to myself, the vendors also need a certain amount of driving skills, courage and keen hearing and vision to be competent.

Looking at their embarrassed appearance, people can both sympathize and laugh.

However, when the camera focused on that group of children, Tian Tian couldn't smile anymore, only deeply shocked, only heart-wrenching pain.

I saw that those dirty children were all children under the age of ten, with great ignorance and embarrassment written on their faces.

The reporter gave each person a close-up and asked them to introduce themselves.

Maybe it was the first time they spoke to the camera, and they all seemed to be a little confused, and no one spoke for a long time.

After repeated persuasion and encouragement from the reporter, a slightly bold boy spoke in a low and quick voice.

However, it is not Mandarin that is spoken, it is their native dialect.

The reporter was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Helplessly, he asked him to say it again, only barely to understand.

Roughly speaking, his name is Li Ming. When asked why he didn't go to school, he said that the family had no money, so he had to let his younger siblings go to school.

When the camera focused on the third tiger-headed child, Tian Tian couldn't help but be shocked, hey, isn't this the little beggar on the overpass?

Because of the fate of one side, she couldn't help but listen with more interest, wanting to see why he begged - willing to come out and be a despised Hanako.

He spoke in dialect, too, and perhaps not very quickly, so he could barely hear and guess what he meant.

"Kid, how old are you?" the reporter asked.

"Four years old. He looked at the reporter in front of him and answered fluently.

"What's your name?"

He hesitated a little and said, "I have two names, which one are you talking about?"

"Huh, why do you have two names?" The reporter smiled curiously,

"My grandmother said that one was taken by my grandfather and the other was taken by my mother. ”

"Oh, really?" said the reporter, as if interested, and immediately encouraged the boy to continue, "Well, you can tell me everything, okay?"

"One is edamame, the other is ......" At this time, the advertisement was inserted at an inopportune time.

Tian Tian also smiled bitterly, and then took the opportunity to walk out of the balcony to breathe.

Ah, the sky is full of stars without exception, and the moon is bright!

Tomorrow, it seems, is still a cloudless and sunny day, she thought.

The moonlight fell on the courtyard on the first floor, and the shadows of the trees added a bit of mystery and fantasy.

Compared to the non-stop noise known during the day, the night is much quieter.

Thinking about the TV she was watching, she turned around and went back to her room.

"So, how did you get here?" the reporter asked again.

Sure enough, the ad ended and the reporting began.

"Follow the uncle of our village. ”

"Uncle, who is he, what's his name?"

"The uncle of our village lives on the mountainside, and I heard the adults call him Niu Gu. ”

"What did he tell your family at the time?"

He said, "He glanced at the reporter in front of him, and then quickly moved his gaze to the side, "He said, take me to earn money to support the family, and besides, the city is beautiful and fun." ”

"Then, are you relieved?"

"At first, I was not at ease, but when I heard that there were several children who went with me, they agreed. ”

"So, now, is that what you think?"

"It's not. Then he suddenly lowered his head and shook it like a rattle, and then, with tears streaming down his face, choked up and could not speak.

So, there was silence and embarrassment on the screen.

After a while, seeing that his mood had calmed down a little, the reporter cautiously asked in a low voice: "Later, how happened?"

"I didn't expect that the 'money' he was talking about was to be called Hanako. He then muttered, "You know? We don't want to be called Hanako. Moreover, if we don't get that much money, we will be beaten by him when we go back at night. ”

After saying that, he couldn't control his emotions anymore and began to cry.

At the same time, the other children cried.

Seeing the scene of the children crying sadly, Tian Tian's heart also swelled with a trace of sourness.

"So, where is your home?"

"Ghost ridge back. ”

"Ghost Ridge Back?" the reporter was a little puzzled and added, "No, I mean, do you know which province, city, county, town, or village your hometown is?"

But the child shook his head blankly.

Among these people, only the slightly older ones can know which province or city they are in, and they don't know anything else.

Unfortunately, the older child was not with those people, he was just a street wanderer, not a beggar from the same place.

The relevant departments also wanted to rescue these children back to their hometowns, but in desperation, some of them could not find the names of their parents and the detailed addresses of their families, so they had to temporarily stay in the detention center.
