It's been a week of double shifts, and I'm so tired of being fat!
+++++++++++++++
The children were all abducted, and in order to make it easier to manage, the adults of the gang simply gave the same group of children the same surname and numbered them one, two, and three.
With the addition of Liu Yi's batch of seven children, there are already three batches of Li, Liu, and Zhang with a total of more than 20 children.
And Liu Yi is the eldest of the seven children in the group of "Liu".
Also abducted in the same village as him were a 10-year-old girl, Liu Wu, and an eight-year-old boy, Liu Qi.
The children are called up early every day and thrown out and scattered to the streets to beg along the streets.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to get a few buns from the hands of the passers-by who are hurrying with breakfast in their mouths in the morning to fill their stomachs, but if you're unlucky, you'll be hungry all morning.
At one o'clock at noon, when there were no more pedestrians on the street, the children would take a hard overnight steamed bun from the woman who was in charge of their diet from the "visiting class", deal with the lunch indiscriminately, and then start the afternoon "work" against the summer noon sun or the cold wind of winter.
It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that the poor children dragged their tired bodies back to the small, crowded warehouse, carrying the fruits of a day's begging.
And this time of day is the most fearful time for children.
The three lewd men in charge of managing them will check the money they have begged for at the end of the day, and if they ask for less, it will be a trivial matter to not give them dinner, and they may be punched and kicked at any time.
Even if you get enough money, if you run into an adult who is in a bad mood, a fat beating is inevitable.
And what the children are most afraid of seeing is the strong man with tattoos.
If he hadn't gotten enough money and happened to be seen by him on a whim, he might have been thought to be too healthy to win the sympathy of passers-by, and he would be brutally crippled.
Liu Yi's leg was broken alive by him because of this reason, and Liu San and Liu Qi were also blinded and broke an arm respectively.
Like this kind of life where you are scared every day and have no guarantee of personal safety, naturally there are children who can't stand it and want to resist and run away.
Liu Yi also had the idea of running out while the night was dark and windy.
But he didn't know what the city was, only that it was quite far from his home, because the words spoken by the pedestrians on the street were not in the dialect of his hometown, and he could hardly understand them;
Second, even if he escaped, what would he do, he was unaccompanied, and no stranger would easily believe his experience. As for the option of going to the police station to report the crime
Liu Yi, who once accidentally saw the tattooed man hooking up with several uniformed policemen, didn't believe that the police had any help for him.
Therefore, Liu Yi, who felt that he was not very sure, endured it for the time being, and did not run away impulsively.
This forbearance saved Liu Yi's life.
Liu Yi is older and not so impulsive, but the other children can't stand this kind of life and resolutely run away.
A child chose the time of "work" to escape, specifically picking a crowded place to run, and shouting as he ran, trying to win the sympathy of passers-by.
However, passers-by who didn't know the truth were misled by the gang adults to think that the child had run away from home during the rebellious period, and even helped arrest him.
After being captured, the escaped children were thrown into a small dark room.
Liu Yi watched the tattooed man walk in and heard the child's terrible screams.
The screams continued until midnight, and Liu Yi curled up on his small mat, shivering, and stayed awake all night.
From the next day, Liu never saw the boy again.
Before meeting the little black cat, Liu Yi had been in this begging gang for three years.
During this time, three children were accidentally starved to death because they could not get enough money for several days on end.
There was also a boy who was about to go crazy with hunger, and tried to escape while the night was dark and windy, while the adults were sleeping.
After being caught, he was cleaned up by the tattooed man as usual, and then he was thrown back into the small warehouse where the children slept, and he wailed weakly all night, choking in the frightened eyes of the children......
Liu Yi is fed up with this kind of life, but he can't do anything to resist, and sometimes he even thinks that it would be good if he could not wake up one day.
But he meets Blackie.
In Liu Yi's eyes, he is also lame in a leg, and he also has no father's pain and no mother's love, but Xiao Hei has to survive even if he has to rummage through the garbage heap to find a little bit to eat, so what reason does he have to give up his life?
Similarly, in Xiao Hei's eyes, Liu Yi lives a miserable life, his basic food, clothing and safety cannot be guaranteed, but he still retains the purest kindness in his heart, and he can care about his poor kitten, so how can he give up his cat life?
As a result, this person and cat, who cannot communicate freely without language understanding, have become each other's spiritual pillars and the courage of each other to live.
Miraculously, after this person and a cat meet each other, it seems that their luck has also improved.
Liu Yi was finally assigned to the streets with the best "business".
While completing the "task" every day, Liu Yi can also secretly leave a little money. He hid all the money in the place where he met Xiao Hei every day, and let the little black gang watch him.
And Xiao Hei, recently found a few cat lovers who have no prejudice against black cats, taking turns to rub a little food, at least they have eaten enough, and their bodies have gradually become rounded.
Liu Yi was ready to wait until he had saved enough money and he was assigned to beg near the train station, taking advantage of the adults' unpreparedness to jump on the train that had already started.
In this way, the adults who were not prepared for the moment could not catch up with him.
Then find a random stop to get off the bus, then find a place to hide, preferably a job, and then slowly ask where your home is.
Only by escaping the city first will Liu Yi have a chance to find his hometown.
He thought about it, and when he got home without any problems, he called the police and asked the police to rescue the remaining children.
Liu Yi told Xiao Hei all these plans. Xiao Hei had no way to answer, so he could only rub Liu Yi to show his support.
The plan went smoothly, and three months later, Liu Yi had already saved more than 100 yuan one after another, and next week it was his turn to beg near the train station.
It was at this time that Xiao Hei also found the owner who was willing to take it home.
Everything seems to be moving for the better.
