She had already run away, thinking that at least one of the cubs was out of danger, and when she looked back, both cubs had been caught in the trap of the lionesses.

She hesitated for a few seconds, returned to the two cubs, rescued the cub that had been swept under her brother but had not yet been caught by the lioness, and sped away.

When the cubs have already been captured, herbivores like the impala usually do not actively rescue the cubs.

Because the evolutionary logic of the years tells them

Give up this child, as a female impala who can still give birth to many offspring, and give up a cub that has already been caught, rather than putting yourself in it - the former's strategy is obviously more suitable for the continuation of the genetic population.

If the mother goes to the rescue, the cub will still die, and the mother will most likely die, and if she dies, she will not be able to breed more offspring. This is detrimental to the continuation of the population.

The laws of nature are cruel and clear.

This impala took the risk to rescue her cub, on the one hand, it was the mother's instinct, and on the other hand, she judged that this cub, which had not yet been held by the lioness, had the value of rescue.

It is impossible for a sheep to take away a cub that has been caught by a lion, and even if it wants to, it cannot do it, and it is easy to get itself into a fatal situation.

So it just did the best strategy for the survival of the population - rescuing the most valuable cub.

After listening to the story of the impala, Miao Miao fell silent.

In the middle of the night, she spoke quietly

"Eight years ago, I committed perjury, if even my mother tried her best to confirm my brother's crime in the middle of the 'rescue of valuable cubs' and to save my so-called reputation, then what is the truth? My brother, could he really be wronged? ”

Su Xi shook his head

"I think it's very unlikely. Your brother has already been sentenced, the stakes are serious, and if there is no conclusive evidence, and your brother's confession, then he will not be sentenced. Miao Miao, now is a society ruled by law, it does not mean that whoever is suspected casually will be sentenced, there must be sufficient evidence. ”

Miao Miao looked unwilling

"What if he is beaten into a move, or because my mother and I have abandoned him, and he is like a dead heart?"

Su Xi persuaded

"If you really care so much about the truth, why don't you ask him personally? Miao Miao, you have worked with me for so many years, and I have never heard you say that your brother, your parents, you have been deliberately avoiding these things and avoiding the truth, right? ”

Miao Miao pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

But it can be seen that she is already shaking.

Su Xi struck while the iron was hot

"Miao Miao, if you want to know the truth, then go and ask your brother in person, let him tell the truth, even once, look into your eyes, and let him tell you the truth."

Miao Miao lowered her head

"But I don't dare go."

"I'll go with you."

Miao Miao looked up unexpectedly

"Sister Manxi, you ...... You don't blame me? ”

"What do you blame?"

"I lied to you, tied you here, and frightened you."

"Miao Miao, I know you very well, I know that you won't hurt me, and besides, I also want to know what the truth of your brother's case is, what does that ...... It's also important. ”

Miao Miao was puzzled

"Why? What is there about my brother's case that you should care about, Sister Manxi? ”

Su Xi smiled and shook his head

"It's a long story. In short, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go today. Go see your brother. ”

City C Prison.

After submitting an application for a visit, the two found a meeting table and began to wait.

The staff said that it might take more than ten minutes, and if the prisoners were willing to meet, they would come here directly to meet them, and if the other party was unwilling to meet, then Su Xi and the others would also be notified.

The visitor's room was large, a large connecting room, with round tables at intervals, each with two or three chairs.

It was probably a weekday and the room was very deserted.

But then again, how many people care about these people who have been abandoned and punished by society.

The air conditioning in the prison visit room was turned on very much, and Su Xi wrapped and wrapped the sweater jacket on his body, but he still felt very cold.

Look at Miao Miao next to her, she was only wearing light short sleeves, but she didn't show any cold feeling, her cheeks were red, and her forehead was still sweating slightly.

She was so nervous......

On the way here, Miao Miao said

"I haven't seen my brother for about five years. After he went to prison, first my dad lost his job, then my mom started to be mentally abnormal, and during that time, I went to see my brother a few times, but each time, he was very reluctant to see me. ”

"Why?"

"I asked him too, but he always told me impatiently to let me bother him less, and he said that he was annoyed when he saw me, and told me to forget that I had a brother like him, and not to say anything to anyone."

"Does your brother know that you have committed perjury?"

"I don't know if he knows. 审判是非公开的，我和妈妈都没有去，我爸爸去了。 But when he came home, he didn't say anything, just drank very sadly every day. Soon after, he lost his job and did not say anything about his brother's case. Then, my mom disappeared and didn't say a word.

After my mom disappeared, another three months passed, and I decided to leave my hometown and look for work in C-City.

Before I left home, I went to see my brother again.

That was five years ago. ”

Su Xi secretly calculated the time in his heart and asked

"The last time I went to see your brother, did he say anything?"

Miao Miao showed a very hurt expression and replied in a low voice

"He still hated me as always, and said not to go to see him again, so that I forgot about him. I said, now you can finally rest assured, I won't come to pester you to see you in the future, I'm going to leave this city and start a new life somewhere else. He was silent for a moment, said nothing, got up and left. ”

Tears kept rolling down the girl's face, wetting her neckline

"Even if I said that, my brother still didn't say a good word. I think he probably really hated me and never liked me. ”

In the waiting room, Su Xi looked at Miao Miao's side face, delicate little nose, long and curly eyelashes, and naturally rosy lips pursed into a straight line because of nervousness.

If those things hadn't happened, Miao Miao would still be a big lady who didn't know the hardships of the world, and she wouldn't come to City C alone to work hard, from the service industry, to manual work, and then to the entertainment company, starting from the bottom of the miscellaneous assistant......

Maybe she is now living a life that is enough to be the envy of others materially, but for her, the life she really wants may never come back.

Meanwhile. Cell.

The guard came to a cell and looked inside

"No. 43093, someone is visiting the prison."

There was a dull noise in the dark cell.
