Chapter 2: The Black Child
(Don't forget to smash the recommendation ticket when reading the book, this is very important, very important, very important)
Fang Yu knew that those few people would never let him go easily, so Fang Yu ran faster than ever.
A distance of less than a kilometer should have been completed quickly.
But when he jumped off the bridge, Fang Yu had already sprained his foot. Spraining your foot is not a big problem in normal times, but at this time, it can be fatal.
By the time Fang Yu ran to that village, Fang Yu already understood that if he ran straight towards the hotel again, he was afraid that if he ran another two hundred meters, he would be caught up by the people behind him.
***
In the early years, there was a well-known case in Changsha.
Overnight, more than a dozen homes were stolen, and the stolen money was worth more than a million.
Of course, these dozen or so households only learned about it after the incident. At that time, only one family reported the crime.
These dozen or so families are all rich and powerful families, and overnight, they traveled hundreds of miles and stole from these dozen families from a young man surnamed Liu.
If it weren't for the fact that he secretly stuffed money into the shed of migrant workers at a construction site, he happened to be bumped into by someone. Maybe that big case will never be solved.
No one could have imagined that he would steal so many homes overnight. No one thought that he stole so much money just to treat a few workers who had suffered serious work-related injuries, but the contractor refused to pay for them to treat their injuries, so they could only wait for death in the shed.
When the news broke, there was an uproar.
Under the excitement of the crowd, although the contractor was also severely punished, because the amount of money involved was too large and the involvement was too wide, the young man surnamed Liu was not sentenced to death, but was also sentenced to life.
The village where the young man surnamed Liu originally lived was called Liujia Lane, and after this big case, people near the left called Liujia Lane Xia Liu Lane.
Whether it is a thief or a chivalrous, right and wrong, people can actually distinguish it clearly in their hearts.
***
Fang Yu hadn't heard this story, and he didn't know that the small village he ran into with the mountains and rivers behind it was Xia Liu Lane.
When Fang Yu ran into this village, which only had more than 100 households, his right foot was already so painful that he couldn't run.
He turned two corners in the alley and saw a dilapidated bungalow with the door ajar.
Fang Yu immediately pushed open the wooden door that looked like it was no longer strong and ran in.
Although he was not familiar with this village, Fang Yu could see that this village was the same as the village where he and Ding Li met Yang Lin that day, during the day, the adults had gone out to work, and basically no one was there.
Although this kind of village is poor, the people are simple, and even if you sleep with the door open, no one will take a single thing in your hand.
In such a village, there will be a big thief. It's a very ironic thing.
There was no sound in the dilapidated bungalow, Fang Yu thought it was just an abandoned house, and no one was there.
But as soon as Fang Yu pushed open the door and entered the house, he was stunned all of a sudden.
There was actually someone in the house.
A child who was black, with only one pair of bright eyes, was only twelve or thirteen years old.
And this little child actually took a needle and thread and was sewing a piece of clothing.
Fang Yu looked at this little child blankly, and this little child also looked at Fang Yu blankly.
"Where did he go?"
At this time, the four young people who were chasing after him had also run into the alley. Their angry voices had reached the room.
The black child blinked, an expression of sudden realization. He put down the needle and thread and clothes in his hand, and asked Fang Yu in an ant humming voice, "Are they here to chase you?" ”
Fang Yu didn't know how to explain to this little kid, so he could only smile wryly and nodded.
"I'll go out and have a look."
Before Fang Yu could stop it, the black child had already walked out. He even forgot to close the door.
Fang Yu was rarely nervous, but at this time, his heart was already tightened.
Because he had heard someone ask the little kid, "Hey, have you ever seen a young man in a white shirt?" ”
Fang Yu was very afraid of the little kid and smiled: "It's in the room behind me." ”
But the child said, "I didn't see it, I just heard it as if someone was running through here." ”
The men immediately asked, "Do you hear where he is going?" ”
The child said, "I think it's going that way." ”
Footsteps rang out, and the door creaked open. The black child walked in again, and there was a smug look on his face.
He beckoned to Fang Yu and said, "Come out quickly, they have already gone to the back mountain." ”
Fang Yu was a little stunned, he looked at this dark, honest-looking child and asked, "Do you know me?" ”
The black child shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you." ”
Looking at the appearance of this child, it should be possible that he has not left this village, and he said that he has not seen it, which is the same as not knowing it.
Fang Yu looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Then why are you helping me?" ”
The child looked at Fang Yu and said, "Because you don't look like a bad person." ”
It's not like a bad guy, it's a very simple, but very plausible answer.
Before Fang Yu could speak, the child had already grabbed Fang Yu's hand and said, "Let's go." ”
Fang Yu asked strangely, "Where are you going?" ”
The child said, "I'll take you to Aunt Zhao's house, she has a cellar." ”
Fang Yu said, "You take me to the cellar?" ”
The child nodded, "Yes, in this case, they will definitely not find you when they come back to look for you." ”
Fang Yu looked at the child and said, "How do you know that they will come back to me?" ”
The child smiled, showed his snow-white teeth, and said, "When we were playing hide and seek, if we couldn't find it in the mountains, we would come back and look for it again." ”
Fang Yu was stunned.
Although the child didn't seem to be particularly smart, what he said made a lot of sense.
Fang Yu knew that those people would definitely not stop there, so he obediently followed the child to a slightly larger bungalow.
Seeing the child take out a large handful of keys and take out one of them to open the bungalow, Fang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have the key to such a house?" ”
The child said, "Because they are not there during the day, they all give me the keys, and we will feed the chickens and ducks and help them boil water..." ”
Before the child's words were finished, Fang Yu was already stunned.
Fang Yu looked at the little kid who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and asked, "Are they all relieved of you?" ”
"What's upset?" The child glanced at Fang Yu strangely, pulled Fang Yu to the backyard, and then pulled open a wooden plank, revealing a black cellar mouth, and said, "It's here." ”
