Chapter 253: Heartbroken Mother
Chen Xiaohong woke up, sweating all over her body, the sweat wet her clothes and clinging tightly to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, in the high temperature, exuding an unpleasant smell, and because she hadn't eaten for a long time, her stomach was also growling, her stomach had been burning pain, and her stomach twitched a few times from time to time, flooding with bitter water.
Chen Xiaohong went to the bathroom calmly, rinsed with cold water, and walked out of the bathroom, she did not go to the kitchen, nor did she go to the bedroom, but changed her shoes again, went out with her mobile phone and keys, and began to look for Zhou Jiamei's whereabouts again.
Outside, the sun was blazing, and the strong sunlight seemed to melt the city, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, and those girls in cool clothes, wearing extremely cool clothes, and holding a sun umbrella of different shapes, walked on the street, causing many eyes from the opposite sex, and they seemed to be unaware of these scary glances.
Chen Xiaohong is like a walking corpse, walking blankly near the school and the community, looking for her daughter's figure, she first came to the school, came to her daughter's class, and found that her daughter did not come to school, and the teacher did not know where Zhou Jiamei went, in the morning, the head teacher Cheng Shaohua also called Chen Xiaohong, and wanted to ask Zhou Jiamei why she didn't come to school today, but at that time, Chen Xiaohong was too tired, fell asleep in a daze, and did not receive a call.
When Chen Xiaohong found the school, Cheng Shaohua learned that Zhou Jiamei was missing, and he was also very anxious, asking Chen Xiaohong if he had called the police, and Chen Xiaohong nodded and shook his head, and finally told Cheng Shaohua that he had been missing for less than 24 hours, and the police did not file a case, and Cheng Shaohua also knew that this was a police rule, and he had no choice.
Originally, Cheng Shaohua wanted to follow Chen Xiaohong to find Zhou Jiamei, after all, Zhou Jiamei was his student and class president, but there were still two classes in the afternoon, and he couldn't leave, so he had to comfort Chen Xiaohong a few words, and went back to continue teaching the students.
Zhou Jiamei didn't go home, didn't come to school, and didn't go to the homes of neighbors and classmates, where would she go?
I had to leave the school, Chen Xiaohong inquired in several shops near the school, and through the inquiry, I learned from them that yesterday afternoon, they saw Zhou Jiamei and a man leaving, and the man also bought Zhou Jiamei a string of sugar gourds, and Zhou Jiamei was still very happy, they thought that the man was Zhou Jiamei's father, so they didn't care.
After learning of this situation, Chen Xiaohong suddenly felt deeply uneasy, she found a small vendor selling sugar gourds, and after asking Zhou Jiamei and the man about the direction of leaving, she chased all the way, followed all the way and inquired all the way, and finally, she came to a community that was undergoing demolition work.
This is the last place where someone saw Zhou Jiamei appear.
At first, Chen Xiaohong didn't think of the demolished community, but after she searched and inquired nearby, no one saw Zhou Jiamei again, so she focused on the demolished community, she suspected that her daughter Zhou Jiamei was likely to be taken into the demolition community, so she didn't want to think about it, and rushed into the community that was being demolished, causing a riot.
The demolition work was already halfway through, and there was garbage everywhere, Chen Xiaohong searched around with difficulty, and finally, she found her daughter's schoolbag on a floor that had not yet had time to be demolished.
When she saw the schoolbag that was discarded on the ground at will, Chen Xiaohong's heart beat suddenly, and she recognized the schoolbag as her daughter's at a glance, because this schoolbag was selected by her daughter on Children's Day, and it was a gift for her daughter, and at this moment, the schoolbag was discarded here like garbage, the two straps of the schoolbag had been broken, and several books were scattered on the ground.
Chen Xiaohong pounced, knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand to pick up the schoolbag and books, opened the title page of the book, and her daughter Zhou Jiamei's name suddenly appeared in her eyes, this is indeed her daughter's schoolbag.
How did my daughter's schoolbag end up here? How did my daughter come here? What did she experience here, causing her to even throw away her schoolbag, and, looking at the break of the schoolbag strap, this was obviously broken by life, so who pulled it off? Is it the daughter herself? Or which strange man took his daughter away?
If it was done by that strange man, then, how is the daughter now? Could she be bullied?
Chen Xiaohong didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she was afraid that her guess would come true, and the most critical issue now was to find her daughter.
So, Chen Xiaohong picked up her daughter's schoolbag, put the books back into the schoolbag, and continued to look for them here.
didn't take a few steps, Chen Xiaohong saw a butterfly-shaped hairpin on the ground, which she personally put on for her daughter yesterday morning, and now it has fallen to the ground, there is still a strand of hair hanging on the hairpin, judging from the length of the hair, it should be her daughter's hair, this hairpin is Zhou Jiamei's favorite hairpin, because this is sent back by her father from abroad, Zhou Jiamei likes to wear it every time she goes to school, it seems that in this way, her father is by her side, but the hairpin is also dropped here.
Chen Xiaohong's heart became more and more flustered, and the uneasiness and ominous feeling in her heart became more and more intense.
Chen Xiaohong carefully picked up the hairpin and took a few steps forward
, In a corner place, I saw a string of two sets of footprints, one large and one small, one of which was a smaller footprint, Chen Xiaohong recognized it at a glance, it was the footprints of her daughter, for every mother, all the details of the child were clear to them, it seems that Zhou Jiamei really came to this place.
When Chen Xiaohong followed the footprints to the corner place, she didn't see the expected daughter, but saw her daughter's school uniform top, and a white cotton panties, the school uniform was dirty, covered with dust, and there were blood stains, and the underwear was very torn and scattered, and there were scarlet blood stains on the underwear.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaohong's pupils contracted violently, she pounced, and fell to her knees at once, splashing a large amount of dust.
The school uniform is a unique school uniform of Zhou Jiamei's school, and the school uniform also has her daughter's name and class on it, as for the underwear that can no longer be called underwear, Chen Xiaohong personally bought it for her daughter, seeing all this in front of her, Chen Xiaohong immediately guessed what happened to her daughter, and there are traces of fierce struggle on the ground, and there are blood stains on the ground.
Has the daughter been killed?
Chen Xiaohong didn't dare to think about it, she picked up her daughter's clothes, turned around, and looked at those unknown workers with teary eyes, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and shouted: "Help me find my daughter, help me find my daughter......."
These workers looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, although they didn't know what was going on, they still helped Chen Xiaohong find Zhou Jiamei's traces in the ruins.
However, after some searching, Zhou Jiamei was still not found, here, Chen Xiaohong did not see Zhou Jiamei except for her daughter's schoolbag, hairpin and clothes, which made Chen Xiaohong begin to wonder if Zhou Jiamei had been killed.
Chen Xiaohong felt that the sky was about to fall, her world was dark, and she followed the workers in a daze to find among the ruins, clutching her daughter's things in her hands.
When Chen Xiaohong came to the demolition site, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and after these workers helped Chen Xiaohong to find it unsuccessfully, it was already half past six in the afternoon and almost seven o'clock, and they also got off work, so after not finding Chen Xiaohong's so-called girl, they left off work one by one, only Chen Xiaohong was still here aimlessly searching, shouting her daughter's name over and over again, Chen Xiaohong's voice was so hoarse, in this quiet demolition site, it seemed so sad and sad, like a mother beast who has lost her young, keeps wailing.
When the sun set again, and its last afterglow was gradually swallowed up by the black curtain, Chen Xiaohong stumbled out of the demolition site, she didn't know where she should go, should she go to the school gate to have a look, see if she could find her daughter, or go home? In the end, Chen Xiaohong returned to the community in a state of confusion.
At this time, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the residents of the community were brightly lit, Chen Xiaohong stood in the community, and could clearly hear the sound of laughter and slapstick from the lights on in the homes, as well as the voices of adults reprimanding children, which made Chen Xiaohong miss her daughter Zhou Jiamei more and more.
Chen Xiaohong walked around the community aimlessly, but still didn't find her daughter, so she held her daughter's things and went upstairs step by step, the stairs were not high, but Chen Xiaohong felt that today's steps were so high, so many, so difficult to walk, and every step she took was so hard.
I don't know how long she walked, Chen Xiaohong came to the door of her house, she took out the key in a daze, and was about to open the door, but the key was just inserted into the lock hole, and before she could twist the key, she found that the door was not locked, and with a gentle push, the door opened.
Faced with this situation, Chen Xiaohong was stunned for a long time, she suddenly woke up, thinking that her daughter was back, so she pushed open the door without thinking, however, the room was dark, just like when she came back yesterday, which made her feel a little puzzled.
Just when she thought that a thief had come into the house, she noticed a movement from the sofa in the living room, and it seemed that someone was on the sofa.
Chen Xiaohong's heart suddenly came up, is it a daughter? Or a thief? Or someone else?
Chen Xiaohong didn't dare to turn on the light, she was worried that there was a stranger at home, which would put her in danger, it didn't matter if something happened to her, her daughter hadn't been found yet, just when she was about to run away from the door and choose to call for help, a faint voice came from the sofa.
"Mom?"
The voice was extremely hoarse, and the voice was very small, with a trill, which made it impossible to identify the person who spoke at once, whether it was a man or a woman, an adult or a child, but Chen Xiaohong immediately heard who made the voice, it was the voice of her daughter Zhou Jiamei.
"Smack."
Chen Xiaohong hurriedly turned on the light in the living room, and the bright light of the dazzling incandescent lamp suddenly lit up the dark room, and then, Chen Xiaohong saw the figure curled up on the sofa clearly.
A little girl with a naked upper body and only a pair of tattered, dirty pants on the lower body, curled up on the sofa, her hair unkempt, her hair scattered, her face was dirty, and her eyes were dirty
It was very red and swollen, and her face was also blue and purple, her lips were swollen, and there was dried blood at the corners of her mouth.
The moment the lights came on, the girl screamed, her whole body shrunk into a ball, and her body began to tremble violently, like a sifting of chaff.
Is this still his daughter?
Seeing the girl on the sofa who was not humanoid and was about to curl up into a ball, Chen Xiaohong's heart was about to break.
"Little Beauty ......."
Chen Xiaohong didn't care about anything else, dropped the things in her hand, hurriedly ran to Zhou Jiamei, and suddenly fell in front of her daughter, stretching out her dirty and trembling hands, wanting to touch her daughter, however, her hand was stretched out in front of her daughter, and she found that Zhou Jiamei's body trembled more and more, her mouth began to make a strange sound, and her body subconsciously retreated, as if Chen Xiaohong was not a hand, but a monster's tentacles.
"Xiaomei, don't be afraid, it's my mother, I'm my mother......"
When Chen Xiaohong said this, her voice choked up, tears fell down her eyes, and the little girl still looked at Chen Xiaohong with a frightened expression.
I don't know how long it took, the little girl suddenly cried out, she threw herself into Chen Xiaohong's arms, and cried loudly, the voice was full of fear, full of desolation, the voice was so harsh, and so piercing.
Mother and daughter hugged her head and cried, the little girl's body trembled, I don't know how long it took, the little girl gradually stopped crying, her hands around Chen Xiaohong's neck were so hard, Chen Xiaohong was about to breathe, but she still refused to let go, and in the end, under Chen Xiaohong's deep voice to soothe, the little girl let go of Chen Xiaohong's neck, but her hands grabbed the corners of Chen Xiaohong's clothes, it seemed that only in this way could she feel a sense of security.
The mother and daughter were both dirty, especially the little girl, who still exuded a disgusting smell, so Chen Xiaohong carried Zhou Jiamei into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and began to wash her daughter's body.
When cleaning her body, Chen Xiaohong found that Zhou Jiamei's body, in addition to her lips being red and swollen, her naked upper body was also covered with Taoist scars, especially on her undeveloped chest, there were rows of bite marks, the bite marks were very deep, and there were wounds left, and the girl's lower body was a mess, when Chen Xiaohong bathed her, the girl's lower body was still bleeding from time to time, and at the base of the little girl's thighs, there were even more bruises and purple scars. Chen Xiaohong's heart was broken.
I don't know if it's because her mother is around, which makes Zhou Jiamei feel safe, or because the little girl lives in fear and is exhausted all day and night, when Chen Xiaohong washes her body, the little girl doesn't move, a pair of small hands are holding Chen Xiaohong's clothes, her body is stiff and trembling slightly, especially when Chen Xiaohong's hand touches her skin, Zhou Jiamei's body has a layer of goosebumps, and the tremor of her body becomes more and more intense.
This is the longest bath Chen Xiaohong has taken for Zhou Jiamei, and she has been bathing for more than an hour, and during this period, the little girl did not say a word, always looked at Chen Xiaohong, and Chen Xiaohong also shed tears while bathing her daughter, she couldn't imagine what her daughter had experienced and what she had encountered in this time.
And after taking a bath, Chen Xiaohong dried Zhou Jiamei's body and carried her to her bedroom, just when she put Zhou Jiamei on the bed, covered the quilt, and was about to go out to take a bath by herself, the little girl grabbed her hand, the little girl's hand was very strong, the nails on her fingers directly pierced Chen Xiaohong's skin, and the blood flowed out at once, and the little girl still didn't let go, but increased her strength.
Chen Xiaohong looked at Zhou Jiamei, and Zhou Jiamei also saw Chen Xiaohong, Zhou Jiamei did not speak, but the fear in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed, as if Chen Xiaohong only had to leave, she would fall into endless fear and darkness again.
The pain in her wrist was far less than the pain in this mother's heart, she didn't blame her daughter, nor did she break her daughter's hand, she sat down and lay down beside her daughter, and at the moment when Chen Xiaohong was lying, the little girl was like an octopus, and suddenly got into Chen Xiaohong's arms, holding Chen Xiaohong's neck with both hands, refusing to let go.
In this way, the little girl rubbed Chen Xiaohong and gradually fell asleep.
When her daughter fell into a deep sleep completely, Chen Xiaohong carefully took the little girl's hand away, she sat up from the bed, and looked at her daughter who was frowning in her sleep and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, Chen Xiaohong's tears poured out again, and she quietly got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Just when she was undressed and standing under the shower, the door of the bathroom was opened, Chen Xiaohong subconsciously protected the privacy of her body with her hands, turned her head to look at the door of the bathroom, and then, she saw Zhou Jiamei, who was barefoot and her face was covered with tears, standing at the door of the bathroom.
Chen Xiaohong hurriedly turned off the shower, didn't care about shame, hurriedly squatted down, hugged Zhou Jiamei tightly in her arms, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads again and cried.
