Chapter 672: Escape 12
After a long journey, the bus finally entered the provincial capital, a bustling provincial capital, bustling crowds, and high-rise buildings, like another world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The road has become much smoother, and the street lights on the side of the road are not as bad as on the road before.
Mingyu raised her head and wiped away her tears, her eyes looked at all this without blinking, she finally returned to the civilized world, finally stopped looking up at the mountains, and could finally hear the familiar Mandarin again.
She clung to the railing of the car, her body trembling with excitement, her face glowing an abnormal red.
After entering the provincial capital, Ah Qiu kept showing a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was in a daze.
Only Gu Xiaoxiao calmly calculated in her heart, how to make money and settle down in the fastest way after entering the city.
When I arrived in the provincial capital, the people in the car were also in good spirits, and the atmosphere in the car was reactivated.
Some people who entered the provincial capital for the first time asked the driver where they were going, some people asked where it was easy to find a job, and some came to visit relatives, and proudly mentioned their relatives who bought a house in the provincial capital and settled down.
In this era, it is still a very honorable thing to be a city man and not dig food from the soil.
All kinds of things in the world are in a small car, everyone's face is full of hope, and everyone looks so honest and simple.
They carried the crampedness and uneasiness from the county seat, as well as the fear and panic of the unknown provincial capital.
They are afraid of being despised by the city people, and they are afraid that they will not be able to find the place they want to go.
The rapid development of science and technology has allowed the world to move forward at a rapid pace, gradually creating a gap between the city and the countryside, and if you refuse to communicate with the outside world, the gap can sometimes become a moat.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just come out of Luhe County, he had just seen those "simple" and "kind" villagers, in some cases, behave like demons.
Neither Mingyu nor Ah Qiu would believe that the kind-hearted peasant uncles and aunts in their eyes would have such a side.
Thinking of the scene when she was abducted, Mingyu still shivered, she just kindly showed an aunt the way, and somehow she was stuffed into the van.
She was forced to be dragged by human traffickers from the bustling city to the poor and backward places, the provincial cities and the county seats, all the way to the stone village.
Along the way, they watched very closely, and Mingyu still didn't know what they fed her, making her groggy all the way.
But now, it's all over, and she's going to say goodbye to the dark, hopeless mountain world.
"I've entered the station, I've entered the station, I've got off with my things, I've got off with my things."
The train was about to enter the station, and the conductor stood up and lazily reminded in non-standard Mandarin.
"Master, my luggage is under the car."
"If the luggage is in the trunk of the car, let's open the door and get it later, don't worry."
The conductor impatiently reminded that some people couldn't wait to stand up first, and some people stared at the crowd outside the window, talking excitedly.
Ah Qiu grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's clothes, and his eyes fell on the bell tower on the square of the railway station opposite the bus station.
"Clock Tower, twelve."
When she spoke, the big bell happened to be announcing the time, Gu Xiaoxiao felt Ah Qiu's nervousness, and reached out to pat her head.
"Don't be afraid, get out of the car and follow me later."
The car stopped slowly, and as soon as the door opened, the person with little luggage was already carrying large bags and small bags, and squeezed to the door with excitement.
"Go down, pay attention to things, don't squeeze."
The conductor was afraid that she would get off the bus and squeeze out something again, so she yelled next to the driver, and her shouting order was really better.
Gu Xiaoxiao, Ah Qiu, and Mingyu got out of the car and walked out of the station with the crowded flow of people.
At this moment, someone suddenly patted Gu Xiaoxiao from behind, and when she looked back, it was an aunt who was about forty or fifty years old, and the aunt looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with suspicious eyes, and said in a somewhat broken Mandarin: "Big sister, are you from Stone Village?" ”
Gu Xiaoxiao had no impression of this person at all, she replied with a cold face and in Mandarin: "No." ”
After speaking, Gu Xiaoxiao took Ah Qiu and Mingyu away.
In the past few years, mobile phones have not been fully popularized, not even home phones, such as the telephone in Stone Village, which has not been entered at all, and if you want to make a call, you must at least go to the town.
This is also the reason why many women have no way to seek help after being trafficked, and communication and roads are not smooth, leaving the mountains isolated from the civilized world.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Ah Qiu were still wearing clothes from Wang's house, which were wide and large, and because they had not washed the mountain road for a few days, they were tattered and smelled rancid.
Fortunately, the weather is already cold, as long as you don't get close to the two people, the smell is not so big, if it is summer, it is estimated that a car of people will protest the smell of the two people.
After getting off the bus, there were middle-aged women and uncles soliciting customers everywhere, some came up to ask if they could transfer trains, some asked if they couldn't stay in a hotel, and some asked if they wanted to find a job.
Ah Qiu, who has finally calmed down in the past few days, squatted on the ground and screamed with his head when he was surrounded by everyone, and his whole person trembled. Although Mingyu was scared, it was not to the extent of Ah Qiu, and she realized that Ah Qiu's spirit might have some problems.
Mingyu was trying to escape from the mountains before, so she didn't pay much attention to Ah Qiu, but she felt that she was a little slow to react and listened too much to her benefactor.
Now after discovering Ah Qiu's abnormality, Mingyu is even more sad, if she stays in the mountains for a long time, stays desperately day after day, is forced to have children, and is forced to be rudely occupied by illiterate men, if she is not crazy, I am afraid that death will not be far away.
Thinking of this, Mingyu stepped forward in front of Ah Qiu and said to the onlookers: "My sister is afraid of life, don't surround her, if something happens, I will tell the police that it is because of you!" ”
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised that Mingyu would take the initiative, but after her stern reprimand, there were many fewer people watching the excitement.
Gu Xiaoxiao helped Ah Qiu up, patted her on the back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, let's go home, Ah Qiu go home." ”
Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao's patient appearance, Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, what is the relationship between you and Ah Qiu?" ‘
In Mingyu's eyes, she is a tough person, a mysterious person, who looks cold on the outside, but has a kind heart.
When she asked a question, she didn't expect an answer from her mouth, but Gu Xiaoxiao replied: "When we meet in Pingshui, we have a relationship with the fallen people at the end of the world." ”
Somehow, after listening to Gu Xiaoxiao's words, Mingyu actually wanted to laugh, I don't know if it was because she admired her suffering or her kindness.
The three of them went out of the bus station together, opposite the train station, when Mingyu returned to school during the summer vacation, and after several tosses, he was brought here by traffickers from the train.
Now, she is finally back again, Mingyu is afraid of the traffickers, but with her benefactor and Ah Qiu, she feels that there is nothing to be afraid of.
She wasn't drugged, she wasn't messy, she could run, she could scream, she could fight with them, and even if she died, she didn't want to go back to the mountains.
"Thank you, what should I call you, I will always remember your great kindness."
Mingyu looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with a serious expression, although she didn't thank her for her kindness, but if she didn't say thank you, she would have trouble sleeping.
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head and glanced at Mingyu lightly: "Just call me Sister Liu." ”
It's not that Gu Xiaoxiao doesn't want to say her full name, but she seriously introduces herself as Liu Chunhua, and her painting style seems to be a little inconsistent with her character.
The three of them left the complicated station, and Gu Xiaoxiao took the two to a slightly secluded place, but it was only relative. She knew that Mingyu had just escaped from the mountains, and her vigilance was at its highest, for fear that it would cause her uneasiness if she was brought to a place that was too far away.
They stood in a corner of the railway station square, Gu Xiaoxiao asked Mingyu while comforting Ah Qiu: "What are you going to do next, contact your family to pick you up?" ”
Gu Xiaoxiao will never return to Ping'an County, for her, she will return to peace, but she jumped from the wolf's den to the tiger's den.
Ah Qiu hadn't remembered where her home was, so she could only follow her for the time being. But Mingyu is different, she knows that after escaping, she should be desperate to go home.
Sure enough, after listening to Gu Xiaoxiao's words and hearing the word family, Mingyu's tears flowed down, and she wiped it in a panic but couldn't stop it: "Well, I, I want to call home and ask them to pick me up." ”
Mingyu couldn't cry anymore as she spoke, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't persuade her not to cry anymore, family is always the softest and most fragile place in everyone's heart. After escaping from the mountain, Mingyu mentioned that crying in her family was a normal reaction.
"Do you still have any money on you, if you don't have five dollars here without me?"
"Thank you, thank you so much, they took my phone and money when they caught me. In the village, the family was afraid of me running away, and they also guarded me in terms of money, and they all guarded against me. ”
Mingyu said tremblingly, she worked hard to save enough money for the car. But the extra money is gone, if it weren't for the kind-hearted Sister Liu, she wouldn't even have the money to go to the provincial capital.
She had a lot of words in her heart, but she couldn't hold back her tears, and Mingyu could only swallow those words back into her stomach.
"It's time to go home, the bad guys will be punished, don't let them ruin your life, you still have a family that loves you."
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have tissues, but her comfort was very effective: "This is money, I'll talk to Aqiu on the phone with you, and when your family comes, we'll leave." ”
Taking the crumpled five yuan, Mingyu covered his mouth and choked and said, "Thank you, thank you really much." ”
The thin five yuan was as heavy as a thousand pounds in Mingyu's heart, she took the money and looked at the public phone in the commissary in the square, then glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao, and walked in the direction of the commissary under the escort of her and Ah Qiu.
Many of the stone slabs in the square were broken, and Mingyu, who was too excited, didn't look at the road under her feet, and almost tripped over the broken floor tiles, but Gu Xiaoxiao helped her in time.
Mingyu looked at her gratefully and continued to walk towards the commissary.
Finally arrived at the commissary, on which the small sign hung the price per minute for long-distance and short-distance calls, Mingyu only glanced at it, and there was still someone on the phone in front of him.
The mood of waiting was anxious, and she counted minute by minute in her heart, desperately hoping that the other party could hang up the phone sooner.
There was a short-haired man in front, who should have reported safety, and ended the call in less than two minutes, Mingyu rushed up with an arrow step, and almost hit the man, he glanced at Mingyu a little inexplicably.
Mingyu didn't realize it, grabbed the money and the microphone in one hand, and pressed the phone number with the other hand tremblingly.
Eleven digits, Mingyu confirmed repeatedly, but the moment she pressed the dial, her heart completely hung in the air.
Gu Xiaoxiao pulled Ah Qiu and stood four or five meters away from Mingyu, she didn't have the idea of eavesdropping on Mingyu's phone, she was just afraid of any accidents.
After all, the security of the train station is not good, in case it is very unfortunate to encounter human traffickers, they are not around, and it is difficult for Mingyu to deal with it alone.
The beeping phone prompt sound was like a natural sound in Mingyu's heart, and she almost used all her strength to grab the microphone.
In just a dozen seconds, countless thoughts turned through her heart.
Mom didn't hear the phone ring, she didn't bring the phone, she lost her phone?
One thought is more terrifying than the other, and these ten seconds of waiting are a long torment for Mingyu.
Finally, the phone rang, but a tired and familiar hello came from there.
Mingyu found that she had not been able to say a word of the words she had prepared earlier, but tears were falling in a hurry.
They first asked who you were, and after hearing the sobs coming from the microphone, they shouted almost like crazy: "Yu'er, are you Yu'er, are you Yu'er?" ”
shouted and shouted in the microphone, broke down and cried, and also couldn't cry.
Mingyu covered her mouth, hummed and then held back her tears: "Mom, I'm Mingyu, I'm at Jingyang Railway Station." ”
"Yu'er, Yu'er's father, it's Yu'er, our Yu'er."
Mingyu heard the sound of the chair falling to the ground and something falling to the ground, and then on the phone, another voice with a crying voice shouted: "Yu'er, is it Yu'er, where are you, we are now, we will pick you up now." ”
"In Jingyang, Yu'er said she was at Jingyang Railway Station."
Still the voice on the other end, Mingyu looked at the time and held back her tears and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm waiting for you here on the square of Jingyang Railway Station." You came with 5,000 dollars, and the phone hung up first. ”
Mingyu wanted to thank Gu Xiaoxiao, but apart from money, she couldn't think of a better way for the time being.
is also escaped from the mountains, she has a family to contact, she doesn't seem to have the intention of contacting her family, and she has to take Ah Qiu with her, Mingyu just wants to help within her ability.
The reason why she said five thousand, Mingyu was afraid that there would be no more cash at home, she had already thought about it, whether Sister Liu wanted it or not, she must do her best to repay her.
Outsiders in the commissary came and went, and Gu Xiaoxiao only cared about comforting Ah Qiu, so she didn't pay attention to the content of Mingyu's call.
