Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 16: Shen Tianyi's Whereabouts (2)
It was late at night when I got off the plane. As the capital city of Gansu Province, Lancheng is far from being as prosperous as the magic capital, and as soon as he walked out of the airport, Yu Bin thought that he had come to a third-tier city. Not only are there few pedestrians on the streets, but there are also few taxis. Although it is now winter, the weather in Lancheng has begun to get colder, but such a deserted popularity still surprises Yu Bin.
Chen Tao stretched out his hand to hail a taxi: "Originally, I wanted to ask someone from the local area to help take us over, but now it's too late." Good thing I got to the address before I got on the plane. Master, we're going to the Honggu District. ”
"Red Ancient District?" The taxi driver was a little unhappy, "It's a bit far away, and there are not many people there." ”
Chen Tao took out five red tickets from his pocket, and immediately made the driver's face cloudy and clear: "Get in the car, do you know where the Honggu District is?" It's a remote place, and it's hard for you to find it in the middle of the night. ”
"Wanlidun on Tucheng Road, Honggu District."
"Wanlidun? It's a famous slum! Where are you two young people going to do something? The taxi driver said while starting the car, which made Yu Bin feel a little worried, "Let's say okay first, I'll only send you to that neighborhood, that place can still walk around during the day, and even the police don't dare to go at night!" If you give me double the price, I won't go in. ”
Chen Tao comforted Yu Bin: "Don't worry, it should be fine!" ”
After more than an hour, the taxi driver left the two of them, turned the car around at a speed-like speed and ran away, it was clear that this was not a good place.
Yu Bin also thinks so. What appeared before him was a low, low-rise area of bungalows, dilapidated and disorganized, sewage running across the ground, and an eerie smell in the air, as if a large vat of swill had been fermented and the lid had been violently opened.
There are even bungalows on both sides of the street that have collapsed due to long-term decay, leaving ruins dotted among the surrounding houses.
There is no doubt that, as the taxi driver said, this is a real slum!
Yu Bin couldn't believe it, according to the people in the orphanage, the family who came to adopt Shen Tianyi drove a good car, the couple were both dressed brightly, and they also paid a large amount of adoption fees on the spot, no matter how they thought about it, it was impossible to live in this kind of place.
Chen Tao was obviously shocked by this situation, but fortunately he didn't think as much as Yu Bin: "Don't be in a daze, it's all at this time, it seems that there can't be any hotels around, otherwise let's find a way to find Tianyi first!" ”
Yu Bin nodded, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Chen Tao's proposal, this slum made him very worried about Shen Tianyi's situation.
Although it is late at night, for those who are hungry and clothed, as long as their eyes are still open, they must find a way to fill their stomachs. So there are many people here who are willing to lead Yu Bin.
gave the other party a hundred Huaxia coins, and the old man in front of him in a heavy and shabby military coat listened to Yu Bin's description, raised his head and glanced at him, sighed, and motioned for Yu Bin to come with him.
Yu Bin would never think that he was so lucky, just find someone who happened to know Shen Tianyi, the only explanation is that that girl is very famous in this slum, so famous that any old man knows her.
After walking on a dark and rugged path for more than ten minutes, Yu Bin saw the "residence" in the distance. It was more of a row of shipping containers than houses, rusted iron shells full of rusted holes, no windows, and one could barely guess whether there were people living in them from the faint optical fibers that peeked through the holes.
An emaciated girl was crouching on the ground, scrubbing her hands with clothes from a plastic basin next to her feet. The eyes that were better than ordinary people allowed Yu Bin to see the girl's hands that were red from the cold. Not only her hands, because she was only wearing a thin single dress, the girl's whole body was trembling, but she endured the cold and kept exercising her body by scrubbing to resist the cold.
When Yu Bin saw this girl, all the memories of her in his past life and this life poured into his mind, and finally coincided with the girl in front of him.
"I'm going to buy something." Seeing Yu Bin's reaction, Chen Tao didn't know the result, he had already cultivated a tacit understanding with Yu Bin through the game, and immediately ran out to find the nearest store to buy warm clothes and food.
Yu Bin walked forward slowly, the unlit shantytown, under the cover of the night, except for a little moonlight, there was no light, which made the girl not notice anything abnormal.
"Tianyi?" As if he couldn't believe it, Yu Bin called out in a low voice.
The girl didn't seem to hear, didn't notice.
"Tianyi!" Yu Bin's voice was a little louder, and finally alarmed the girl.
The girl quickly raised her head and looked in the direction of Yu Bin, but because there was no light, she couldn't see Yu Bin's face clearly.
"You are?" The girl quickly picked up the basin and stood up, asking as she slowly stepped back.
"Tianyi, it's really you, I'm Yu Bin, your brother Yu Bin, Tianxing Welfare Institute!" As soon as the girl spoke, Yu Bin finally completely determined that the girl in front of him was Shen Tianyi who he was looking for.
"Brother Yu Bin? Brother Yu Bin! The girl struggled to recall it, and finally remembered the name.
"Tianyi, how did you, how did you become like this?" Yu Bin stepped forward quickly, wanting to get close to the girl.
However, to Yu Bin's surprise, the girl quickly took a few steps back, and her body almost leaned against the container: "Brother Yu Bin, that, I'm just volunteering here, helping the patients here wash their clothes, don't come here, it's dirty here." ”
But how could Yu Bin believe this kind of words now, striding forward, Yu Bin suddenly stood in front of Shen Tianyi.
Then the moonlight, Yu Bin finally saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly.
At the beginning, Shen Tianyi, who was known as the cutest and most spiritual girl in the welfare home, still has the round melon seed face at the moment.
His hair was burnt yellow, his skin was rough, his face was covered with rust and mud, and on his two earlobes, the big frostbite made Yu Bin feel distressed.
It can be said that except for the eyes that still have a little aura, Yu Bin can hardly find any trace of the girl with high horns on this face.
The short hair is uneven, obviously the girl used something rough to cut it short, presumably because she didn't have the money to get a haircut.
"Brother Yu Bin, don't, don't look at Yaya, don't." Shen Tianyi finally had no way to retreat, leaned on the container, and turned her face away desperately, not wanting Yu Bin to see it.
Yaya is Shen Tianyi's nickname, and when she was in the welfare home, Yu Bin always called her that.
Yu Bin stretched out his hands indifferently, picked up Shen Tianyi's face, pulled her over hard, and looked at her carefully.
However, the sound of an iron striking came from the side.
An iron door opened on the container, and a large dim light came out of the iron door, bringing a halo to the area around the iron door.
"Noisy you MB, little! Tell you to do some laundry, what the are you going to do! Out of the iron door came a tall and thin man facing the ferocity, holding a half-empty beer bottle in his hand, and yelled at Shen Tianyi.
When the tall and thin man saw Yu Bin holding Shen Tianyi's face and looking at it carefully, he paused for a moment, and then immediately spat foul language: "I thought something was wrong, it turned out that I was stealing, your mother is a bitch, you are also a shit, you know how to find guests at such a young age?" Hehe, I asked you to sell meat, but you refused, and stabbed your neck with a knife, it turned out that you had a good relationship a long time ago. ”
Yu Bin turned a deaf ear to the man's foul language, and all he could think about now was Shen Tianyi.
Yu Bin still clearly remembered that when he saw Shen Tianyi again in his previous life, although she was not doing well, at least she was wearing ordinary clothes and fled with a group of ordinary people. And at that time, although her appearance was not pretty, it was definitely not so bad, and her hair was not yellow, and she still had long hair with a shawl.
At that time, Yu Bin thought that Shen Tianyi was like him, although his life was not rich, he could be regarded as passable, so he didn't ask her much about her previous affairs.
Now it seems that I am afraid that in the years when the two were separated in the previous life, something must have happened to Shen Tianyi, otherwise, Yu Bin did not think that his rebirth would be able to turn Shen Tianyi's situation into the whole situation.
"Fuck, I'm talking to you, little bunny, have you fucking learned how to put on a fight?" Seeing that Yu Bin didn't have any reaction, the tall and thin man couldn't help but feel that he couldn't hold his face, so he picked up the beer bottle and was about to rush over.
Seeing this, Shen Tianyi immediately broke free of Yu Bin's hands, ran to the side of the tall and thin man, and grabbed the beer bottle: "Brother, go quickly, leave me alone, you can go!" ”
"Little Sao woman, eat things inside and out!" Before Bin could make a move, the tall and thin man's empty other hand had already slapped Shen Tianyi's face fiercely, and immediately left a blue handprint on the frozen red face. "Those who eat Lao Tzu and sleep with Lao Tzu are still raising wild men. If it weren't for the fact that you could still work, Lao Tzu would have sent you to the front to sell meat. ”
The man seemed to want to slap Shen Tianyi again, but unfortunately, before his hand could be raised, Yu Bin, who was already angry, had already stepped forward and smashed the man's lower abdomen with a hard punch.
This is still Yu Bin's sake for Shen Tianyi's sake to protect this man, and his subordinates are merciful, otherwise, as long as he is on one knee, Yu Bin can ensure that this man will pass out directly.
"Brother, how are you, how can you, hurry, you go quickly, go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave."
In the flash of light, Shen Tianyi, who saw the man knocked to the ground by Yu Bin's punch, did not have any joy at all, but just told Yu Bin to leave here in a trembling voice.
"Wow, who, ahem, who's, ahem, don't want to go!" The man who fell to the ground because of the severe pain smashed the beer bottle in his hand into the container with all his might, and made a loud noise, "Ahem, I want to run away after hitting Lao Tzu, cough, no way, ha, ha, Lao Tzu told you, today Lao Tzu will sell the two of you, cough, cough, cough, to the front to pick up customers." ”
After a while, a large group of footsteps sounded from the darkness, Yu Bin turned his head and swept his head, and saw that many people appeared at both ends of the alley of this shantytown.
These people are all men, and like the guy who was put down by Yu Bin, they don't look like good people.
Yu Bin could feel the ill-intentioned intentions of these guys, and his eyes were very good, and he even saw several people holding knives in their hands.
Yu Bin quickly glanced inside the open container door, and there was no one else in it except for a wooden bed covered with a gauze tent.
"Yaya, go in!" Yu Bin whispered to Shen Tianyi.
"No, brother, you go, go quickly, leave me alone." Shen Tianyi didn't care about the face that was almost swollen, but just pulled Yu Bin's arm vigorously and told him to escape.
"Obedient, good!" Yu Bin pulled Shen Tianyi hard, then pushed her into the container, and said in the same tone as when she was a child when Shen Tianyi was sick and coaxed her to take medicine, "It's okay, it'll be fine for a while." ”
After Yu Bin finished speaking, he closed the iron door, and then, like a dead man, looked at the man who was crawling on the ground and wanted to stay away from him.
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Abolish him for Lao Tzu! Crawling a few steps away, as if the distance had given him enough courage, the man shouted loudly at the men who had gathered around him.
"Binzi, are you alright?" Outside the crowd, a voice suddenly came in and out.
"It's okay, Tianyi is here."
"Okay, be careful not to kill anyone." Voices from outside the crowd said.
Then, the tall and thin man who fell to the ground seemed to see Superman, looking at Yu Bin and Chen Tao, who came back from shopping, and neatly packed up all his subordinates.
"Okay, Binzi, this is not there, it's hard to clean up the trouble." Chen Tao stopped Yu Bin from making another move on the tall and thin man lying on the ground. "You go and look at Xinyi, I'll come here."
As for the other men, they had already been put to the ground by both of them, and no one would want to come up and taste the hardships again.
Yu Bin nodded, reopened the iron door, and walked in.
Chen Tao squatted down and said to the stunned tall and thin man, "Say it." ”
"Say, say what?" Obviously, the tall and thin man had not yet woken up from the shock just now.
"Tell me about that girl, who you are and why you are with that girl." Chen Tao tried hard to imitate his father's example, but he also frightened the tall and thin man, "I'll talk about it first, my brother's temper is not very good, and besides, this place really doesn't look like a serious place, presumably there will be no problem with one or two people dying." ”
"I said, I said, my name is Brother Wolf, oh no, no, my name is Dog, and others call me Brother Wolf." When the tall and thin man heard Chen Tao's words, he thought that he had run into a black man, otherwise, why would these two people be so ruthless.
