Her name is Night Moon, which is the name she gave herself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was an orphan who was abandoned by her biological parents on the side of the road shortly after she was born.
It was still a cold winter, and she almost froze to death on the street just after the full moon.
Just when she was dying, she was picked up by a passing couple and brought back, which saved her life.
The couple later became her adoptive parents, and they told her all of the above.
She didn't have a name, her biological parents didn't leave any information about her identity, and her adoptive parents didn't give her a new name, just calling her 'girl'.
The only warmth she remembers is the moment when she was still in her infancy and was held in her adoptive mother's arms to breastfeed, and her adoptive father stood aside and touched her forehead.
As she grew up, her adoptive parents' attitude towards her became more and more cold, leaving early and returning late all the time, locking her in the house, not allowed to go out, not allowed to watch TV, not allowed to touch things, wearing very old clothes, and three meals a day were all bread and boiling water or leftovers prepared in the morning.
At that time, she didn't know anything, and although she was lonely in the house alone, she was still very obedient. Because she felt that her adoptive parents had to listen to what they said.
In this way, she never left the house until she was 10 years old, and her imagination of the outside world was limited to the occasional scene in the cartoon where her adoptive mother rewarded her with the occasional look.
Blue sky and white clouds, high-rise buildings, all kinds of children who are about the same age as her, she has never gone out, she is more and more eager for these novelties, so she put forward the idea of wanting to go out.
Although her adoptive parents were cold to her before, they never did anything to her because of her obedience. And this time, when she first proposed her idea, her adoptive parents were furious and beat her hard.
The moment she was beaten, she didn't understand what she had done wrong, so much so that her adoptive parents wanted to beat her like this.
That day, she was not allowed to eat, and no one came to ice her for the bruises on her body, and her adoptive parents locked her in the utility room.
Until that incident, she naively thought that as long as she continued to listen to her adoptive parents, she could continue to live with them without being beaten.
In her little heart, her adoptive parents have always been all she has.
In the days after the beating, although she tried harder to be well-behaved and obedient, her adoptive parents never looked at her directly, and even gave her a little food when she was too hungry to ask for it.
Half a month later, her adoptive mother, who had never helped her take a bath and dress up, suddenly helped her wash her very actively, put on a floral dress that she had never worn before, and let her eat her first hearty meal in ten years.
She still remembers what her adoptive mother said to her that day: "Girl, you have always listened to your mother the most, and when you will go with your mother, you will always have new clothes to wear and delicious food to eat in the future." ”
At that time, she thought that her adoptive mother was finally willing to give her more love, and immediately happily agreed.
She was completely excited when she went out for the first time, and everything outside felt new to her, so she didn't notice the same excited expression on her adoptive mother's face at all.
The adoptive mother took her to an old building, where the adoptive father was waiting for them.
Her adoptive father, who had never smiled at her, smiled at her for the first time, making her feel flattered.
Touching her head, her adoptive parents led her to a door in the building that was labeled 'Fortune and Treasure', knocked on them, and then a shirtless man came out of it.
The adoptive father stepped forward to negotiate with the man, while the adoptive mother pulled her aside.
She looked into the room curiously, and saw that there were many little girls about her age.
It wasn't long before the adoptive father suddenly quarreled with the man, who looked at her from time to time, and she heard many words like 'sell' and 'price'.
The hand that was grabbed by her adoptive mother hurt, and she found that her adoptive mother was grasping it tighter and tighter, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
The argument ended in a compromise on the part of her adoptive father, who she saw take a wad of money from the man.
And then there was the news that made her desperate.
She was sold to this man.
She was already ten years old, and she could see this message from the conversation and actions she had just made, and this was something she could not accept.
While they were slackening, she followed her ideas for the first time.
She ran away.
Abandoned by his biological parents and sold by his adoptive parents.
Her young heart had been shattered by wounds.
She's a kid that no one wants, so she's on her own. If she wants to live, she can only rely on herself.
This was the only thing she knew at the time.
That night, lying on a park bench, she looked at the lonely full moon in the dark night sky, as if she saw herself.
So she named herself: Night Moon.
With her own name, she also started a new life of her own.
No one wants it, she has nowhere to go, and she is home everywhere.
In the park, under the long bridge, as long as it is a place to sleep, it is her home.
Competing for food with wild cats and wild dogs has become commonplace.
Gradually, people began to notice her and wanted to send her to an orphanage.
But she no longer dared to trust anyone, so she chose to hide.
While hiding from the search of the adults, while continuing to be accompanied by garbage, she lived a life of hiding in Tibet.
As time passed, she understood her weaknesses and shortcomings as a girl, and at the same time found a new way to live.
That is to save the children who are bullied by delinquent teenagers, so that they can generally get the rewards of those children.
Some have fresh food, some have new clothes, and some have books to study. It was so much better than what she found in the garbage.
But there were always a lot of inconveniences as a girl, so she began to learn to disguise herself.
Practice your new voice, change your look, force yourself to be like a boy fighting, fighting, and swearing. Layers of disguise hid her shattered heart.
Coupled with the fact that she has been stronger than others since she was a child, she quickly made a name for herself in the neighborhood for a generation.
Many people came here to become her little brother. Looking at them, an idea popped into her:
Maybe these people can, so that she doesn't have to be alone anymore.
Next, she swept through the city with a group of younger brothers, and won everyone's recognition with her strength.
Then came the disaster, she was abandoned again, and her heart, which was gradually healing, was shattered again and fell into despair.
In the end, she met the person she will never forget...
...
Yeyue touched her cheek, which was already in tears.
Why, I remembered those memories that I didn't want to touch.
She remembered that she had seen a strange girl in the car before.
And then she showed up and remembered the past.
The surroundings were foggy, nothing could be seen clearly, no one and no sound was heard, and loneliness filled the entire space.
"I hate it... It's like seeing your past self. Yeyue wiped away her tears and whispered her heart.
As her words fell, the space around her began to change.
The fog surges, like a film reversing the film, and all kinds of familiar scenes change rapidly, and finally freeze on that cold night, the street where she was abandoned. Yeyue was standing at the edge of the street, where her adoptive parents had found her.
Bang bang bang.
From a distance, there was the sound of a rapid run, and a man and a woman ran out of the darkness, stood at the junction of the light and the darkness, and held out their hands to her.
Yeyue couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't look like her adoptive parents in terms of size.
So who are they?
"My child, we regret it, we shouldn't have left you here. Come on, let's go home. "In the darkness, the man who didn't look at his face called out to the night moon.
If Yeyue was struck by lightning, could it be her biological parents?
Let's go home...
It was a simple four words, but it made Yeyue disintegrate all mental defenses.
There has always been a voice in her heart telling her that by walking over and holding those hands, her future will lead to the life she wants.
"Dad, Mom..." Yeyue's expression became very strange, as if crying and laughing, muttering the two names that had not been shouted for more than ten years, and slowly walked away.
Walking up to the man and woman, Yeyue took their hands.
It's so warm, is this how parents feel, I really want to keep going.
The sparkle in Yeyue's eyes gradually disappeared, like a marionette, a happy smile appeared on her face, and the man and woman gradually disappeared into the darkness.
