"......" Zhou Yimo swallowed silently, and Xiao Hong took two steps forward, leaving her with a thin back.

At that time, it was raining heavily and there were no pedestrians on the street, Zhou Yimo saw her gently twist her fingers, which seemed to be her usual action, always twisting things when she was emotionally entangled, fingers, pens, clothes corners, anything she could immediately grasp in her hands.

This point Zhou Yimo discovered when she first met her, a very subtle small action, but in psychology, it can probably be explained in popular terms as "pressure transfer", that is, habitually making a certain reaction in a tense or depressed situation, in order to relieve the pain in his heart that has nowhere to vent.

Zhou Yimo swallowed again and moved the umbrella to the top of Xiao Hong's head, "If you are willing to say it......"

Xiao Hong seemed to hum in her mouth, and then there was silence for a while, only the sound of rain was heard in her ears, and just when Zhou Yimo thought that she probably wouldn't talk down, she suddenly heard Xiao Hong speak again.

"Twelve years ago, Fengping Junior High School was completed, a teaching building, a library, most of the infrastructure costs come from personal donations, that is to say, Fengping Junior High School is a public welfare school, and it is also the only middle school in this area, and there was a girl who was lucky to become the first batch of students enrolled in Fengping Junior High School, but a month after enrollment, the girl received a notice from the school that she needed to face persuasion due to arrears of tuition, which also meant that the girl could not study, and went back to discuss with her mother, and her mother had two words, no money. A week later, the girl received an official notice that she was dismissed by the school, stayed at home for a while, doing housework, doing farm work, in comparison she still wanted to study, but there was no way, she couldn't get into school if she couldn't pay the tuition, it was useless to let her quarrel, and finally she was about to despair, but her mother suddenly told her that she had money......

Xiao Hong suddenly smiled when she said this.

"There is money, but the premise is to accompany someone, at that time the girl was too young, I didn't understand anything, my mother said it's okay, you go, you will have money, you can continue to go back to school, at that time she had dropped out of school for a month, this is her only chance, the girl believed, there was a car in the afternoon all the way to the door of the house, the mother sent her to the car, seemed to be very happy, the girl felt that there must be nothing wrong, but after getting in the car, someone blindfolded her, at that time she felt afraid, but it was too late, The car drove all the way to the town, and it was this Fulin inn......"

Xiao Hong paused when she said this: "She was fourteen years old that year, and for the first time, it was like going to hell. ”

Zhou Yimo probably understood something, but he was still shocked, "Who is the other party?" ”

"Who?" Xiao Hong snorted, "Her eyes were blindfolded, and she tied her hands the first time, so she couldn't see her face, but later she knew that she was the funder of Jianfengping Junior High School, that is, a benevolent person and a philanthropist in other people's mouths." ”

When it comes to the word "philanthropist", Xiao Hong still can't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, very ironic, the first time she came into contact with this term in her life was because of this kind of thing.

"Then what about ......," Zhou Yimo asked.

Xiao Hong sighed heavily: "And then ...... There is a second time with the first time, each time it is at the Fulin Hotel, at first the girl refused, crying, making trouble, beating, but it was useless, they always had a way to make her obey, and then the girl slowly became numb, because she couldn't escape, and there was no other way, she wanted to study, this was the only way out, not to mention that she was not alone, except for other girls in the school before her who suffered the same thing. ”

Zhou Yimo couldn't help but interrupt again when he heard this: "This is a crime, you can seek legal ways!" ”

"Legal means?" Xiao Hong almost laughed, "You also saw it, what kind of place is Fengping Town?" If I hadn't brought you here, you'd probably never know for the rest of your life that people lived in this mountain, twelve years ago there wasn't a full electricity here, and there weren't more than ten telephones in the entire town, where would you go for legal action? What's more, do you have proof? Do you have a lawyer? Do you dare? ”

The blockage of information and transportation will cut off everything, the outside can't get in, and the inside can't get out, and the current Fengping is still like this, not to mention that twelve years ago, plus the transaction of power and money, what is it to sacrifice a few female students, dignity and morality are simply vulnerable in the face of poverty.

"She misses school, it's the only way for her."

Zhou Yimo didn't know what to say for a while, in fact, Xiao Hong was right, just like her mother back then, they didn't have the ability to seek legal protection, "What about later?" ”

"Later......" Xiao Hong smiled falsely again, "probably tolerated to a certain extent, it will explode, the girl slept with him for two years, and after two years, it became more and more intense, he began to bring different men, and the frequency became more and more frequent, at first it was every two or three months, then once a month, and then once a week......

Xiao Hong's voice gradually trembled, her fingers tightened more and more, Zhou Yimo couldn't see her expression, but she could feel the desperate pain, "If you don't want to say it, you can pause." ”

Xiao Hong shook her head, she had already said this, what else did she have to hide.

"The last time was the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, and in the summer, the weather was very hot......"

Xiao Hong actually can't remember a lot of things, especially those scenes in hell, so she will selectively forget some things, but she remembers the scene that evening very clearly.

That night, someone from the town would come to the village to show a movie, and his younger brother Xiao Rui was happy for many days, saying that he would ask Xiao Hong to take him to see it in the evening, but in the evening, she suddenly received a notice asking her to take time to go to the town.

"She thought she could escape that time, so she didn't agree, because she had already graduated from junior high school, but the other party said that there was still high school, three years of high school, and she would be able to get out of the mountains after studying."

Xiao Hong took a sullen breath and lowered her head, the rain under her feet had accumulated into water, and her blurred face was reflected on the muddy water.

Zhou Yimo: "So in the end she still went!" ”

"Yes, she went, leaving her brother at home alone."

Xiao Hong walked to the entrance of the village by herself, and the car that came to pick her up was parked under the old persimmon tree, there were many people besides the car, and the curtain for the movie had been erected, and it was rare for the people in the village to have such an opportunity, so every family moved benches and chairs to wait there very early.

Xiao Hong made an appointment with her brother and got into the car to the town.

"The other party was a stranger that night, although she was blindfolded, she could feel it, she didn't struggle at first, probably because she had been a bitch for a long time and got used to ......it," Xiao Hong laughed self-deprecatingly.

Zhou Yimo rubbed her forehead with her hand, and listened to her continue to speak. 04

"But not long after, someone knocked on the door outside, it was the boy's voice, the boy called his sister......" Xiao Hong's voice trembled even more.

Xiao Rui was only nine years old that year, and she couldn't figure out how the nine-year-old child ran from the village to the town and found the Fulin Hotel, but this was the case, he came, and stood outside the room knocking on the door.

Who can understand Xiao Hong's mood at that time, whether she is dirty or rotten, it doesn't matter, she can't be washed anyway, but she can't be known by her younger brother, that is her most painful relative, how can she let the most painful person see herself lying naked under a man like a prostitute or a woman.

Xiao Hong began to struggle and began to resist, but the other party was too strong.

"Her hands were tied to the bed at the time, and her brother kept shouting outside, so desperate, but the other party refused to stop, and finally she finally broke free of one hand, casually touched something on the bed and stabbed it......"

It was a hero brand fountain pen, in the pocket of Xiao Hong's clothes, and fell to the bed during the struggle.

Zhou Yimo can probably understand the situation at that time, "Is it because it's too urgent?" ”

"No, it's because I'm too scared of ......"

Xiao Hong looked at her eyes in the water, and the horror of ten years ago resurfaced.

"And after that?"

"Then he was wounded, a lot of blood, and the girl pulled back the strip of cloth on his face and realized that she had just stabbed him in the right eye."

“……”

"The girl took the opportunity to escape, her brother was still at the door, the man in the room caught up, and the girl pulled her brother downstairs to run ......"

Zhou Yimo held his breath, as if he could feel the frightened and tense atmosphere at that time, "And then? ”

"Then ......" Xiao Hong raised her hand to hold her arm, bowed her head, and recalled painfully, "The girl ran down, but her brother was caught, and the little boy hugged the man's leg and shouted desperately, Sister, you run ...... quickly."

Xiao Hong couldn't speak anymore for a while, closed her eyes, and the pictures in her memory slowly came up, the spiral staircase, the cramped corridor, the smell of blood and dampness in the air, and Xiao Rui hugged the man's calf and curled up on the ground and shouted at her: "Run, leave me alone!" I didn't expect that there was so much power in that small body, the power to defend her.

"And after that?" Zhou Yimo asked again.

Xiao Hong slowly flicked open her eyes, the rain and mist in front of her eyes, and the tightened fingers involved the wound in the palm, painful and cold, but less than one ten-thousandth of that year.

After that, she really ran downstairs, ran to the outside of the hotel, ran to the street, ran to the bus station, took the car to the county seat, and finally squeezed into a train to S City......

The story is basically clear to this point, and Zhou Yimo understands it.

Xiao Hong was still standing in front of her, leaving her with only a back, Zhou Yimo unconsciously swallowed again: "Later, she stayed in S City?" ”

"Yes, she ran from Fengping to the city in one go, she has always dreamed of it."

Zhou Yimo can understand this longing mood, but in that situation, she almost escaped, penniless, and helpless in a strange city, "Was life difficult at the beginning?" ”

But in front of him, Xiao Hong lowered his head, "No, it's not difficult at all." ”

Zhou Yimo was a little surprised: "How is it possible?" ”

"yes, how is that possible, but that's the way it is." She looked up and gasped softly.

Zhou Yimo waited for her answer, but a few seconds later, she suddenly asked, "Do you believe in fate?" ”

Zhou Yimo paused, and then replied: "I don't believe it!" ”

"But I believe it!"

“……”

"I believe in fate, I believe in fate, and I believe that sometimes the reversal of fate may just be a matter of thought."

Zhou Yimo didn't understand what she meant: "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

"Because ......," she whispered, "because she didn't run out at all, on the train she met a man, with Buddhist beads in his hand, looking like a devout Buddhist, and he did a lot of good deeds at that time, however, those who knew him knew that he made a fortune in the underworld, and he was sitting opposite the girl at that time, looking kind and kind, but I don't know why, the girl felt cold, and she didn't even dare to look at him more, that fear came from the heart, lingered, and the girl wanted to escape, But she didn't dare, and she couldn't escape......"
