Chapter VIII

16

On that gloomy and drizzly afternoon, Xia Liangshan and Lin Mu got on the train to Haicheng together.

Lin Mu failed to be admitted to A University as he wished, so he gave up the opportunity to repeat his studies for a year and decided to go to Haicheng to work.

After the two of them sat in a hard seat for more than ten hours, it was already three o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Haicheng.

The first feeling that the bright Haicheng brings to Xia Liangshan is: the pavilion of the dance pavilion, the lights are red and green.

The city is dotted with plane trees, and they walk the streets at three o'clock in the morning, rows of neon lights like delicate lipstick on a woman's mouth.

Lin Mu helped Xia Liangshan carry his bag, and at this moment, he looked extremely excited, as if he was for the prosperity in front of him. He seemed to be talking to the whole city, and he seemed to be talking to Xia Lianglone. At that moment, it was as if the whole world was filled with his cheers: "One day, I will conquer this city!" ”

The two waited in the night wind for a long time, but they didn't find the driver called by Qin Yan. So, at the insistence of Lin Mu, the two got on a "black. car". Because the price is ridiculously low, this makes Lin Mu very tempted.

The first time I sat "Black. car", Xia Liangshan was a little nervous. She picked up her phone and looked at Qin Yan's phone number, but she didn't want to wake Qin Yan up at this time.

The driver was an uncle in his fifties, and because of the dim light, Xia Liangshan couldn't see his face clearly.

After they told the driver the address provided by Qin Yan, Lin Mu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, fell asleep. Xia Liangshan had been sleepy for a long time, but the first time she came out so far, she still had a little more vigilance.

More than an hour passed, and the sky was bright, but the driver had no intention of stopping, and the road ahead was getting more and more remote.

At that moment, Xia Liangshan vaguely felt uneasy. Fortunately, before getting into the car, she quietly wrote down the license plate number of the car, so in a panic, she quickly sent the license plate number to Qin Yan and hinted to her that she was likely to be in danger.

The car continued to drive on a narrow and deep path, and suddenly, Xia Liang was silent. I saw her holding her stomach with both hands, pretending to be in pain and wailing to the driver: "This uncle, can you park the car for a while, I want to go down conveniently." ”

This is, and the forest tree also woke up. He rubbed his red eyes and looked at Xia Lianglone, and then said to the driver next to him: "Hey, uncle, it's convenient for her to go down, you should stop the car!" ”

The driver still didn't speak, and he didn't stop, and both of them panicked.

At this time, Xia Liangshan gently stroked the leather bag beside him. The first is what she prepared in advance for self-defense. She quietly unzipped the corner, but before she could start moving, the door suddenly opened.

"Take them to the basement."

A hoarse voice floated from the air, and before the two could resist, they were blindfolded with rags and pushed all the way to an unknown place.

After being rudely uncovered by the rags, Xia Liangshan opened her sour eyes, the mottled walls, the crumbling small bed, the stinky ditch looming outside the iron window, and a big mouse at her feet rolled her eyes and looked at her. Fine ash scrambled down from the rooftops, and food rot floated in the air. The stench after defeat. Xia Liangshan frowned, and was about to break free from the restraint from his shoulders when a hoarse voice came from a distance.

"Little girl, aren't you afraid?"

Xia Liangshan took a closer look, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man on crutches, wearing reading glasses, and a little lame.

He always crooked his neck, with a deep scar on the left side of his face, and squinted his eyes at Xia Liangliang. His faint eyes frightened Xia Lianglone. But she still insisted: "Uncle, please let us go." I don't know you, and I don't have any grudges to speak of."

"Liang Lonely, don't talk nonsense with him, I'm today" Before Lin Mu could finish speaking, he was knocked to the ground by two men in black.

The middle-aged man glanced at them, and the two men hurriedly retreated.

"Letting you go?" He sneered twice, pumped a big mouth to Xia Liangliang, and then called the driver from before, "Ah Fa, call Peaches and tell her to tune well. Tunes. Teach these two bunny cubs!"

In the dimly lit room, except for the painful groans of the woods. There was nothing but groaning. Xia Lianglone's face was slightly swollen, and the hot pain made her more and more sober.

She woke up Lin Mu, who was already unconscious, "Lin Mu, wake up, wake up." ”

Lin Mu's voice became weak, "Liang Lonely, it's all my fault for burdening you." ”

Xia Liangshan sighed and said, "Lin Mu, don't blame yourself, let's find a way to escape quickly."

In the next second, a gravel rolled out from the door, and a lazy and beautiful female voice fell from the sky: "Don't dream, since you have reached the territory of the crooked neck, it is a piece of fat sent to the door, and he will not let you go!" ”

The two raised their heads one after another, and a tall young woman appeared in front of them. She was wearing a crescent-colored cheongsam, with a bewitching posture, good facial features, and a lazy atmosphere all over her body.

"Look at the way you look, or students?" She sat in a trembling chair and stretched while crossing Erlang's legs.

"Sister, can you let us go?" I don't know why, Xia Liangshan obviously knows that there are undercurrents surging here and dangers lurking, but she still regards this young woman who met in Pingshui as the last straw.

"What? Got you guys? She took out a small mirror from her bag and looked at it, and said to Xia Liangshan without raising her head: "You go and ask the crooked neck, will he let me go?" ”

After speaking, she began to get down to business: "I am your direct leader, Momoko. From today onwards I will teach you to lie and play. Brand, sell. Wig. Tickets, as well, steal. Stuff. ”

At this time, Xia Liangshan finally understood the purpose of their arrest by this group.

In every corner of this world, there is always such a group of people. They don't need to put in any labor, just walk around. Trick a bunch of innocent kids into stealing. Stuff. They were even brutally beaten to cripples, an arm was cut off, a finger was chopped off, both legs were cut off, and they were made to pretend to be beggars, taking advantage of people's compassion and the innocence of children. Violence. Sharp.

Xia Liangshan clearly remembers that when she was 7 years old, in front of the town's farmers' market, there was a teenage girl kneeling on the ground, carrying a dirty schoolbag, and writing lines of dense words on the ground with chalk, the content probably said that she was a poor student, because she could not afford the high tuition fees, so she asked for help from well-wishers passing by.

At that time, the young and ignorant Xia Liangshan handed her the fragrant mutton skewers in her hand, but the girl lowered her head and directly rejected her kindness. She said to Xia Liangshan in a cold and stiff voice: "I don't want food, I just want money!" ”

Many years later, Xia Liangshan always has a deep memory of that cold-faced girl. Now, is she going to be reduced to a disgrace with Lin Mu. Tooth of "liar. Son"?

At this moment, two men in black dragged a teenage girl to Peach, who was in tattered clothes and covered in blood. One of the black-clothed men said expressionlessly: "Sister Peach, this stinky girl is not honest, she has hidden more than 2,000 yuan, crooked her neck and said, her life and death are at your disposal." ”

Momoko got up, and she turned against the light, making it impossible to see the expression on her face. I saw that she gently pulled out the blade in the bracer and cut off one of the girl's fingers with a neat movement.

She looked at the girl lying in a pool of blood with an expressionless face, and her voice was as cold as a big snowstorm: "Feifei, next time you dare to hide money, it's not as simple as losing a finger." ”

After Peaches got up to leave, the light outside made the blood red of the place even more shocking.

At that moment, Xia Liangshan suddenly felt that life was so fragile, that little person was lying in front of her, she wanted to grab her hand that was gradually cold, but despair was stuck in her throat, so that she couldn't make any sound.
