Chapter 111: A Place of Poverty

Gao Huan, led by the two brothers, walked through the winding labyrinth-like alleys, and after bypassing a row of unfinished buildings, he saw two tube buildings with the word "demolition" pasted on the wall.

Not far from the building is a huge garbage pit and an old public toilet, and the slightest breeze blows the stench straight into people's noses.

From a distance, the building is empty, there are only a few bright lights, and there are few people.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gao Huan probably wouldn't have imagined that there was such a dirty place in Changhai City, which was as prosperous as Bai Yujing in the sky.

"Helper, the person you're looking for lives here." Brother Gui No. 1 pointed to a dimly lit house upstairs and said to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." ”

After that, he didn't wait for the two brothers to make any moves, and went upstairs.

There are no lights in the corridors, and the old stairs seem to be condensed with moisture, and it seems to be a thin layer of greasy, so you must be careful when landing, otherwise there is a danger of slipping.

If this place is not demolished, it would be nice to keep it for horror movie shooting.

Gao Huan thought so.

After a while, he walked over to the room with the lights on.

Looking back at the two brothers and nobles who came up, and after making sure that he had not found the wrong door, Gao Huan knocked lightly on the door.

The door was originally quiet, but at the moment when Gao Huan knocked on the door, there was a sudden sound of "ping pong" stumbling, and a rush of footsteps immediately rushed to the back of the door.

"Yes, is Niu Niu back! Girl! An old woman's voice spoke urgently, and the closed door was slammed open.

An old woman in a blanket appeared in Gao Huan's sight.

The old woman's face was wrinkled, her eyes were cloudy, and her silver hair was scattered but neatly combed. The clothes on the body are also clean and odorless.

Judging from her face alone, this old woman should be over sixty years old, but according to the information told Gao Huan by the brothers, the real age of this old woman should be just in her early fifties.

Only in the moment of watching the door, Gao Huan read a trace of heavy hope in the eyes of the old woman, but when the old woman saw clearly that it was Gao Huan who was standing outside the door, not the Niu Niu in her mouth, this heavy hope also disappeared.

"You? Who to look for? The old woman stood as straight as she could, and her inquiring tone was alert.

At this time, Brother Gui No. 1 squeezed over from the narrow corridor and said to the old woman in a low and obedient voice: "Aunt Pan, this is our new helper, we told you last time. ”

The old woman obviously knew Brother Gui.

After hearing what Brother Gui No. 1 said, her body relaxed a little, and the alertness in her eyes was a lot less.

"The old woman Pan Meihua has seen the helper." The old woman saluted slightly, then gave up her place at the door, and motioned for Gao Huan to go and sit in the house.

Gao Huan glanced into the house, and under the dim light, the furnishings in the hut where the old woman lived were pitiful. In addition to a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe, there are only a few small stools, and the only ordinary household appliances are an old table lamp and a hot water kettle, and there is no trace of high-tech household appliances and magic tools.

Everything that was seen in front of her spoke to the people who came about the old woman's poverty.

But Gao Huan grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, and he empathized with such poverty, so he was also two points closer to the old woman.

Gao Huan approached the house, and the two brothers behind him immediately followed.

The small house immediately became crowded, and there was no place to sit.

The old woman also consciously treated the guests slowly, and hurriedly poured three cups of warm water over to the hot water kettle, and handed them to Gao Huan and his party.

"The helper is here today for Niu Niu's business?" The old woman leaned against the wall, watched Gao Huan drink water, and asked cautiously.

Only when the word "Niu Niu" is mentioned, the old woman's gloomy eyes will reveal the light of hope again.

"Aunt Pan, just say it quickly! Since our helper is here, as long as you are willing to say, the helper will never sit idly by! Brother Gui No. 1 interjected hurriedly.

Gao Huan glanced at Brother Gui No. 1, signaled him not to interject at will, and then looked at the old woman again, and said softly: "Tell me about your grievances, I will try my best to help you find a way." ”

The old woman, who was called Aunt Pan by her brothers, moved her lips, obviously organizing the language in her heart. But before the words came out, I saw her suddenly hang her head, and her cloudy old eyes were already full of tears.

She then sobbed and cried in a low voice, "My lord, please be sure to be the master for me and my daughter!" ”

"Your daughter, is that what you've been talking about?" Gao Huan immediately asked.

The old woman nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly turned around and opened the drawer of the desk, took out a photo frame, and handed it to Gao Huan.

In the frame is a photo of an old woman with a young girl.

The young girl in the group photo is about sixteen years old, with long black hair and a beautiful face.

"She's Niu Niu and she hasn't been home for two years! Please, Lord, will you help me get her back?" The old woman pointed to the girl in the photo and muttered.

Gao Huan nodded, his expression was extremely serious, and replied: "You explain the details clearly, including where she worked before, what she did before she disappeared, and what happened after her disappearance, the more detailed the better!" ”

The old woman continued to wipe her tears, then nodded heavily.

She had been in despair for so long that she could barely hold on.

Gao Huan's sudden appearance was like the last straw for the old woman, and only by holding it tightly could she ensure that she would not sink into the cold sea of despair again.

"Niu Niu is my only daughter. My health has not been very good, and after my wife went, it has always been me and Niuniu who are dependent on each other. ”

"Two years ago, I had a serious illness. In order to cure the disease, Niuniu and I had to sell the house in our hometown, so we moved to this building. However, the illness was gone, and the money from the sale of the house quickly ran out. ”

"Niuniu is a filial child, in order to treat me, she withdrew from school without telling me, and then said that she had found an acquaintance and introduced me to a decent job. She said that she would not go back to school until she helped me heal me! ”

The old woman looked at Gao Huan, clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and began to tell the story that had happened in this small building in a low tone.
