"You won't. Qin Zhao turned his head and looked at me seriously, "Your beauty is your greatest weapon." ”

"Oh?" I never thought I was beautiful, "It seems that in the eyes of Mr. Qin, I am nothing but beauty." ”

"You are beautiful and you don't know it," the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth were slightly raised, his pupils were originally black and bright, like a quiet deep pool, when you looked at him, you would involuntarily be attracted to it and want to explore the depths. Now the bright color faded, leaving behind an endless pitch black, as thick as ink.

"The most important thing is that you're smart. The ink in his eyes spread out like night, "A smart and beautiful woman, no man can resist it." ”

"Yes," I smiled, "it looks like I'm going to be invincible among men." ”

What I think in my heart is that behind the beauty must be a family background, wealth, status, and knowledge to support this beauty, without these, beauty will not become a gift of fate, but will become a Pandora's box, as you get older, the more beautiful you are, the magic box will open, and the devils will begin to wait for opportunities.

"But it's just me, I want you. He leaned over the railing and looked into the distance. "Remember how you got into the Phoenix Tower?"

How can I forget, even if I forget everything, I will not forget this.

I am an orphan.

Lu Cuiping said that she picked me up when she was in the market. Twenty years ago, in the depths of winter, she was pushing a bicycle of sweaters that had not been sold at the market, and when she walked to the garbage dump, she heard my faint cry.

It turns out that she was lying to me from beginning to end, which is what I learned later.

Lu Cuiping is my adoptive mother.

For as long as I can remember, it's been the two of us living together.

"Qingzi, this is the jade pendant stuffed into your quilt. I took it from her hand, and looked at it several times, the front was a Buddha statue carved from emerald jade, and the back was inlaid with a white jade plaque, maybe jade, maybe something else, I had never seen the world, and I didn't know what the precious material was.

I threw the jade pendant back into her, "I've thrown it away, what are you doing with the tokens, it's better to sell it for some money." The adoptive mother took the jade plaque, wrapped it carefully in a cotton cloth, and stuffed it back into a small cloth bag, "You can't throw it away, and you will use it to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the future." ”

I took her hand and stopped discussing the topic with her. I came to help her sell something today, but she didn't sell it. I sighed inwardly.

I was looking down and thinking about how to make money, when she suddenly received a phone call, said for a long time, and looked a little panicked after receiving the line, "Kiyoko, we have to get out of here." ”

"Where?" I asked.

"Don't ask so much, come home with me, don't talk nonsense. "After returning home, my adoptive mother packed a few clothes, and the next morning we went to the bus station, where she was going to buy two tickets to Jiangbei, but was told that there was only one left.

"Hi. "Suddenly someone greeted me, and when I looked up, it was a strange man.

The half-length fireworks are scalded on the top of the head, the dark circles under the eyes are very heavy, and the already pale skin is even more transparent. Wearing a long khaki trench coat with stains, a pair of narrow-cut jeans, and a pair of military boots on his feet, he didn't even tie his shoes, and he walked up to me. Before the person arrived, he arrived first with a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol.

"Are you going to Jiangbei?" neither my adoptive mother nor I spoke, just looked at him.

"Hey, I was going to come, but I couldn't go, and it's useless to keep the ticket. He handed me a ticket, and without waiting for me to reach out, he slipped it into the side pocket of my coat. "I just heard what you guys are saying. ”

"Bye-bye!" he turned his head and took a few steps, straightening his arms and swinging back.

"Mom, let's go. The adoptive mother stood still and didn't know what she was thinking, and when she heard me call her, she made up her mind as resolutely, "Go." ”

After getting on the bus, I looked at the ticket in my hand, and the word "Qin Hui" was printed on it, and it turned out that the strange man's name was Qin Hui. I sat down by the window and fell asleep after a while.

Jiangbei is about a two-hour drive from Jincheng, and after arriving, my adoptive mother said to take me to an acquaintance to settle down first. She took me on a bus and got off the bus for a long time before I stopped in front of an alley.

The alley is not long, and there are pink lights from beginning to end.

My adoptive mother took me by the hand and walked inside, walking to a hut with a "hotel" plaque and standing still. The glass door reflected the light, and I vaguely saw a small front desk inside, and a woman sitting behind the front desk was looking out of the door boredly.

My adoptive mother pulled open the sliding door and led me in, calling out, "Amei." ”

Ah Mei stood up, saw that it was her adoptive mother, understood it, and then looked sideways at me, and the two of them looked at each other.

My adoptive mother and I followed her inside, a narrow hallway, with closed doors on both sides, poorly insulated, and some reverie sounds.

Walking to a small locked room at the end, she took out the key and unlocked it, "Let's stay here first." ”

"Hmm. The adoptive mother nodded, and she had something to say to Amei and told me to stay in the small room.

I was really curious, after seeing my adoptive mother go to Amei's room, I quietly went out of the door, with the memory of when I came just now, found Amei's room, and listened with my ears close to the door, because the room was not well insulated, I listened vaguely for a while, and didn't hear anything interesting, so I went back to the room to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I was helping Ah Mei sort out some paperwork when I heard the door open and the wind chimes at the door clanging.

"Yo, Ame," a suffocating male voice came in. "Where is this?"

"Brother Li?" Ah Mei was surprised, put down the melon seeds in her hand, and got up from the plastic stool.

The man dragged a plastic stool from the side and sat down, one leg was crossed to his knees and swayed, his beer belly was shaken, he picked up the handbag under his armpit and nodded down, "Amei, what about people." Amei's gaze shifted to my side slightly.

The little brother next to him handed him a bottle of unscrewed mineral water, and smiled flatteringly, "Brother Li, drink water." He took the water bottle and took a sip of it, making a "zizi" tasting sound, and he didn't know that he thought he was drinking 82-year-old Lafite. As I drank, my eyes were nailed to me.

"Is it really her?"

Amei nodded slightly. At this time, the adoptive mother came down from upstairs, Brother Li didn't recognize it at first, and when he looked closely, he was busy bowing, but his adoptive mother gave him a look. The three of them spoke in a mute language that I couldn't read.

Brother Li reached out and tugged at me, "Come with me." Amei's eyes were red, and she reached out to pull me, but Brother Li kicked her hard in the chest, "Don't be bad." ”

Later, I thought that she was unbearable and guilty for a moment.

Ah Mei was kicked to the ground, her face turned pale, she looked at me, and quickly turned her head. I didn't understand what was going on, but my adoptive mother looked indifferent, glanced at me, and then squatted on the ground to help Amei up.

Brother Li grabbed me into the Phoenix Building and threw me into a small and cramped room, a man cut my hands behind and pushed me to the bed covered with dirty sheets, I stared at the pillow on the bed, the pillow was full of dandruff and hair loss, I don't know how long I hadn't washed it.

The man who locked me in the small room had a cannon head, a big gold chain, and a tattoo on his back, and he was smoking a cigarette and squinting at me, and he didn't speak, and I asked him why he kidnapped me, and he didn't answer, and I asked him why he locked me up, and he didn't answer. We looked at each other for a long time, and then I stared at him with pain in my eyes, and he still didn't say a word.

I guess I found a deaf and dumb person to watch me.

A few minutes later, the gun-headed man answered a phone call, and while answering the phone, he looked at me sneakily, and kept responding, "I know", "I understand".

When he finished answering the phone and took the line, he glanced at me, "Stay here, you." With that, he turned around and left.

Am I being kidnapped?

I lay alone on the bed in the small room, no one came in to see me, no one came to bring me food, and I lay down from noon until nightfall, and the only thing I could do was look out the window and count the stars.

I was anxious and angry, and it was impossible not to be afraid, but now I can't do anything but be anxious.

With a "squeak", the door was suddenly pushed open, and through the moonlight I saw a woman, she walked in slowly, and the smell of cedar perfume on her body was particularly good.

With a "snap", she turned on the lights in the room, and the room was suddenly bright.

Then I saw her holding a wooden tray full of food.

"My name is Alan. You can just call me Sister Alan. She put down her plate and untied the rope that bound me to her, "Eat." ”

I was so hungry that I picked up my plate and ate it anyway, even if I was going to be slaughtered and eat meat tomorrow, I would eat my full food today.

Seeing that I was in a hurry, she pointed to the water bowl next to me and motioned for me to drink some water.

I ate all the food on the plate, wiped my mouth, picked up the water bowl, and drank it all the time.

"You're not wary at all, aren't you afraid that I'll drug you inside?" Ah Lan leaned against the door frame, looking at the sweetness of my food, and asked playfully.

I took the water bowl in my hand, leaned down and quickly slashed my throat desperately.

"Hahaha, it's so much fun, teasing you. Ah Lan couldn't laugh, "How could I do such a thing, there are thousands of ways to be unfavorable to a person here, this is the lowest level." ”

I put down the water bowl and sat up straight to look at her, "Sister Alan, you ......."

"Don't say it, I know what you're going to say to me, don't dream. Her smile disappeared in an instant, and she looked at me coldly, "Stay there and don't run around, otherwise you will look good." ”

"How can you ......" she picked up the plate and bowl, turned around and left without looking back, slammed the door shut, and then remembered something and came in again. She looked pitiful and amusing when she saw that I knew nothing, and her face slowed slightly.
