Chapter 19: Skynet (1)
The setting sun in the west intersects with the distant horizon, but the rolling heat wave never subsides.
A group of scavengers in the garbage dump are looking for today's dinner, and a thin figure is rummaging through the dirty pile of expired food.
As he searched, he found a black plastic bag.
He forcefully pulled the bag out of a pile of moldy food, and when he opened it, he found a pile of old clothes.
He rummaged through his old clothes, hoping to find a coin that someone had carelessly forgotten.
But his wish didn't come true, except for a few scraps of paper, only a keychain with a bear hanging from it.
He looked at it, and although it was not worth much, it was quite good-looking. He didn't bother to throw it away, so he put it in his pocket.
After nightfall, a strange person appears in the dump.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, which was out of place here. He kept rummaging through the garbage heap, as if he had lost something, despite the fact that the garbage around him would stain his clothes.
Gradually, there was a little more moisture in the originally stuffy air, and it was about to rain.
Zhao Yuean came home from school in the afternoon, and Guan Li accompanied her every inch along the way, if it weren't for the fact that she was attacked at school, she would have thought that Captain Guan was interested in her.
Guan Li sent Zhao Yuean downstairs all the time, and told her again before leaving, and specially gave her an anti-wolf spray before leaving, and I don't know where I got it.
Zhao Yue'an returned home, routinely incense his parents, and then went to make dinner.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy weather, it is estimated that it will rain for a while.
After cooking dinner and returning to the living room, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Zhao Yuean sat at the dining table alone and began to eat.
The TV was broadcasting the city's current affairs, but her thoughts were on the afternoon when she was attacked.
At that time, she was a little out of control, and her brain was not very clear.
But now that I think about it, that person should have nothing to do with his parents.
But he is definitely an insider of that case, otherwise he would not have tested her in this way.
It would be nice to find this person, maybe we could get more clues from him.
Zhao Yue'an's mind wandered to nine days away, and suddenly he heard a news report on TV.
"This is a large waste treatment plant on the outskirts of the city, where a dust explosion has just occurred.
Many scavengers have suffered tragically, and now firefighters are trying their best to rescue survivors. ”
Dust explosions? Although she had heard of similar accidents, she knew very little about them.
Looking at the corpses that were carried out, Zhao Yuean frowned.
Why did the deceased have severe burns on the body of the dust explosion?
She intuitively felt that this "accident" was not ordinary.
However, there are thousands of cases in the world, and she is not so idle to take care of what she sees, and she does not have such a great ability to ask herself.
After dinner, Zhao Yuean cleaned up the room, went downstairs with the garbage and threw it away, and walked to digest it by the way.
Before going out, he took a look at the anti-wolf spray given by Guan Li, and brought it with him.
The midsummer night carries the coolness after the drizzle, and the refreshing smell is greedily absorbed even by the pores.
She walked over to the trash can and threw the trash in.
Instantly, there was a muffled sound in the trash can, as if someone had been smashed.
Zhao Yuean was stunned, could it be that there was something in the trash can... Person?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a head poking out of the trash can, and Zhao Yuean took a few steps back in a row.
The man saw that Zhao Yuean was a woman, and he also let out a sigh of relief, and quickly climbed out of the trash can.
At this time, Zhao Yuean saw clearly that it was a little boy, thin and dark-skinned, and there was a strange smell on his body.
The child looked at Zhao Yue'an and licked his lips with some uneasiness.
When Zhao Yuean just wanted to ask him if his parents were separated and if he wanted to take him to the police station, he saw a large burn on his body.
"Kid, where are you from? What's going on with the injuries on your body? ”
The child looked like he was seven or eight years old, or even younger, and when he heard Zhao Yue'an ask, he didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Zhao Yuean was about to pick up his mobile phone to call Guan Li, the child suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Sister, can you stutter for me?" ”
Zhao Yuean looked at him stunned, no, it should be her. The dirty child in front of him turned out to be a little girl.
Zhao Yuean ignored the dirty smell on her body and dragged her back home.
She took the little girl to the bathroom and undressed her with her own hands to bathe her.
At first, the little girl kept dodging, saying that she could wash it, for fear of soiling her sister's home.
Zhao Yuean ignored it, and still insisted on bathing the little girl.
I really don't know if I don't wash it, it took Zhao Yuean a full two hours to wash the little girl clean.
The cleaned little girl stood in the corner stiffly, a little scared and a little wanted to cry.
Zhao Yuean looked at her tearful expression in her eyes and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Did you hit a wound? ”
The little girl shook her head and whimpered, "Sister, you are so good... ”
Zhao Yuean was relieved to see that she was fine.
She wrapped the little girl in a bath towel and reported to the sofa. I found a half-sleeved vest from the closet and looked at it, and I guess I could wear it as a skirt for the little girl.
After changing the little girl's clothes, Zhao Yuean found the garbage bag and prepared to throw away the clothes she was wearing before.
"Don't wear these clothes, I'll take you to buy some suitable clothes tomorrow, and I'll make do with mine today... What is it? ”
Zhao Yuean said, and suddenly touched a hard object in the pile of pickles-like old clothes.
She pulled it out and saw that it was a keychain in the shape of a bear.
"Is this yours?"
The little girl glanced at it and nodded, then said, "I picked it up... Does my sister like it? To you.
It's the only thing I can give you, no one has ever been so nice to me ... ”
As she spoke, the little girl's tears fell, and Zhao Yuean walked over and hugged her.
"Well... Aren't you hungry? Is it okay to chat with your sister while eating? ”
Hearing Zhao Yue'an say to eat, the little girl's stomach grunted very angrily, and suddenly the little guy's face turned red.
Zhao Yuean didn't care, and pulled the little girl to the table, just as there was still some dinner left, so she asked her to find something to eat, and it was not enough to make it for her.
Watching the little girl gobbling up and crying while eating, Zhao Yue's heart was sour.
"Can you tell my sister what your name is? Where is home? And where are the parents? And how did you get to the trash? ”
When the little girl heard Zhao Yuean's question, she quickly wiped her mouth and sat down looking at Zhao Yuean.
"Sister... Can you not drive me away? I can do anything, help you with laundry, cooking, mopping the floor, don't send me back to the garbage dump... ”
