In the cramped and cramped firewood room, no one spoke for a while.

Except for Duan Gongqing's cries.

It's as if the whole world is silent.

in the monitoring room.

Lin Fengxian's eyes were red.

Only this time, it's no longer because of anger.

Unlike his rough appearance, he has a gentle heart and has always been an easily impressed person.

The character is so careful, and so is the love of children.

Listening to Lu Dongye's words.

It was as if he saw a small man, sitting alone in a canoe, surrounded by fog.

It is called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, but can only drift with the waves in the tumbling waves.

There was no one around.

This feeling of loneliness and helplessness, although he Lin Fengxian has not experienced it, he has a rare experience.

in the firewood room.

Lu Dongye still didn't speak.

But Duan Gongqing wiped two handfuls of tears and took the initiative to speak: "Actually, when I was very young, I was much stronger than you!"

Lu Dongye's heart moved slightly, and he found that Duan Gongqing didn't just take the initiative to speak.

Even the tone was a little lucky, and I couldn't hear any hostility.

He hurriedly answered, "Huh?

"When I was very young, I was brought up by my grandfather, but fortunately I have relatives to take care of you, which is better than you. ”

Duan Gongqing lowered his head, as if he was stuck in a distant memory: "That was my happiest time! Every day, I followed my grandfather to herd cattle, went home to eat my grandfather's cooking, and sometimes when I asked my grandfather where my parents were, my grandfather always said that they went to work far away, and they would come back when I grew up." ”

Lu Dongye didn't speak anymore, he listened quietly to the young man, and began to tell about his past.

"When I was four years old, my grandfather took me to the mountains to catch birds, and every time I ate the birds that my grandfather roasted with his own hands, I felt that it was the most beautiful delicacy in the world!"

Duan Gongqing wiped away his tears again: "Thanks to my grandfather who taught me the skills of hunting, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now." ”

Lu Dongye couldn't help but glance at the trap that he threw on the ground.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think of Lin Fengxian's previous words.

"When I was six years old, my grandfather died, and he left very suddenly, and the village doctor said that it was a heart attack, and I didn't know what was going on anyway. ”

Duan Gongqing's voice became sad again: "I only know that there is only one day left before my birthday, and there are only 6 days left before my grandfather's birthday." ”

The corners of Lu Dongye's mouth twitched slightly.

Duan Gongqing is indeed uneducated, he should be referring to the word "myocardial infarction".

The disease also tends to come on suddenly, and can quickly lead to death.

It is only one day before his grandson's birthday, and only 6 days before his birthday...... Such a departure undoubtedly adds a bit of desolation.

"You know what!!"

Duan Gongqing became excited: "At that time, I didn't know what it meant to die, and I got up the next day and asked my grandfather to celebrate my birthday! Because my grandfather promised me that when I was six years old, he would tell my parents where to work!"

Lu Dongye felt slightly blocked in his heart.

With only one day's difference, a matter that was enough to affect Duan Gongqing's life became a secret forever.

Is there anything more miserable than him?

Compared to him...... You're lucky, right?

"Anyway, I didn't understand anything at that time, so I guarded my grandfather's body, looked at the people in the village, put him in a very cold coffin, watched them throw him into the stove, and when he came out, there was a handful of ashes left, and I knew that I would never see my grandfather again. ”

Duan Gongqing's voice was full of sadness: "At the beginning, the people in the village looked at me pitiful and gave me something to eat, but then they didn't care about me, but fortunately, my grandfather taught me to hunt, and I went up the mountain every day to catch birds and small animals." ”

Lu Dongye suddenly picked up the trap on the ground and asked, "Did your grandfather teach you this?"

Duan Gongqing finally raised his head, glanced at it, and nodded: "Yes, I will always use it to catch birds and eat in the future, and I can catch several of them every time." ”

Lu Dongye took a deep breath, put down the trap, and asked, "What happened later, how did you live later?"

"Later, I heard from the villagers that my parents had not gone out to work at all, and that after they handed me over to my grandfather, they never came back, and they could not be contacted at the police station. ”

Duan Gongqing's face suddenly swelled with stubbornness: "But I didn't believe it at that time, I stayed at my grandfather's house, and I believed that they would come back to pick me up!

Speaking of this, he wiped a handful of tears again: "However, I waited for a year, and there was no movement at all, the birds on the mountain were all caught by me, and the people in the village also said that I was wild behind my back, and those children also hated me, and scolded me for having no one to raise in my life, sometimes I slept in my grandfather's house, and at night stones fell in again, I couldn't live anymore, and then I left." ”

"Where have you been?"

Lu Dongye saw the opportunity and asked, "How did you come to Taixin County later?"

"I lived in the mountains for a while, and there were stone piers that my grandfather had built with his own hands, and I could rest and sleep in them, and no one would hit me with stones when I lived there. ”

Duan Gongqing was already immersed in his own memories.

didn't realize at all that Lu Dongye was also taking the opportunity to manipulate his words.

He continued: "But every day to drink water, I still have to go to the village well to fetch water, but I don't dare to go during the day, I am afraid that they will hit me with stones, so I go at night, and one night, when I went to fetch water, I was knocked unconscious from behind, and when I woke up, I found that I was driven away by an unknown aunt." ”

"Human traffickers?"

Lu Dongye asked subconsciously.

"Yes. ”

Duan Gongqing was a little surprised, and then continued: "At that time, I didn't know that she was a human trafficker, and she was very good to me on the road, and asked me to call her mother, she took me to the car for a long time, I don't know how long, anyway, I got on the train later, and I slept on her when I was tired, and I felt quite comfortable in my heart." ”

Lu Dongye sighed slightly.

In the past, security was not well developed, and human traffickers could take the train to abduct and sell children.

Put it now...... But it's really hard to say.

"You were directly abducted and trafficked to Taixin County?"

Lu Dongye asked again, but he was also very strange, it is said that growing up in Taixin County, he shouldn't know the local dialect!

Sure enough, Duan Gongqing shook his head: "No, I don't know where it is, she took me to many places and sold me to many families, I cried and shouted for her mother every time, she didn't succeed every time, and later, she sold me to the coal kiln while I was asleep." ”

"Coal kiln?"

Lu Dongye frowned suddenly.

I was also slightly touched in my heart...... I always thought that I had met someone I could rely on, but I sold myself into the darkest abyss after changing hands.

Duan Gongqing, who was young at the time, had already experienced that it was just an ordinary taste at that time.

"Yes, it's a small coal kiln, full of children who are not a few years older than me, and there are a few very fierce people every day, forcing us to dig coal, and beating us if they don't dig coal. ”

Duan Gongqing suddenly raised his head when he said this.

He stared at the glare electric light above his head, but there was a happy smile on his face.

Even the voice was no longer full of grief: "Then one day a man led a group of people to rescue us, and he saw that I was pitiful, so he asked me to follow him, and asked me to call him father-in-law. ”

Lu Dongye's heart suddenly moved.

He knew that the crucial turning point was coming!
