Dark, damp and dirty, it was the first impression of the place.

It's a very rudimentary basement, surrounded by earthen walls, unbuilt with bricks, and still in the shape of freshly dug up, but judging by the degree of dilapidation, it should have existed for several years.

The only wire that came in from the outside was a small light bulb, dim enough to illuminate the small space.

At the entrance to the basement there was a small table with a kettle and a few small bowls, and two or three stools beside it.

There was no bed in the basement, only a wooden plank in the corner, on which some hay was laid to serve as a bed, on which sat several children, ranging from five or six to eleven or twelve, male and female.

The children, ragged, sallow-skinned, with dirty faces and hair, huddled in the corner with their knees huddled in the corner, trying to hide themselves from this basement, occasionally looking up vigilantly, their eyes showing only fear and numbness.

On the stool sat a woman in her thirties, with curly hair, a slender melon seed face, delicate and charming eye makeup painted on her face, and bright lipstick, she looked very beautiful when she looked closely, and the cloudy eyes and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes proved that she was no longer young.

She propped up the table with one elbow, and a half-lit thin cigarette on her fingers in the other, revealing a smell of wind and dust all over her body, she spit out a smoke ring in her mouth, and said to the fat man next to her: "Uncle Zhao, the goods this time are not very good." ”

The man had a big belly, thief eyebrows, and narrowed eyes staring straight at the woman's half-naked snow-white breasts, he turned his hand over, touched the woman's hand, and saw that the other party did not refuse, so he took the opportunity to touch a few handfuls, leaking out a mouthful of yellow teeth and flattering: "Recently, Zhang Yang's kid doesn't know where he died, no one counts the information, you can only find these for the time being, you will settle first." ”

The woman flicked the ashes of her cigarette and said, "I heard that he was killed the other day. ”

The man said, "Don't worry, I will find someone to replace him as soon as possible." ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "All these years, you haven't revealed what we did to him, have you?" ”

The man said: "Don't worry, that kid is just taking money to do things, he doesn't even have a note to collect money, he doesn't know what we do, hehe, he doesn't even know what he does." ”

"That's good, but I'm still not sure."

"Otherwise, when these two batches of goods are processed, we will withdraw and change places."

"It's fine." The woman extinguished the cigarette in her hand, patted the man's hand and said, "However, this batch of goods is not very easy to handle!" ”

The man said: "It's easy to deal with, it's easy to deal with, there are people at the bottom who want to buy, it's too small to raise, too big to raise, five or six years old is just right." ”

"Really?" The woman said, "So, have these two little girls found a buyer?" ”

The man looked at the two little girls, laughed twice, a lewd light flashed in his eyes, and said: "The little girl is not in a hurry, the market is very good, you can raise them for a few days and raise the price." ”

The children shrank in fright when they heard the man's oozing laughter.

The woman said, "Isn't it that you want to taste it yourself?" ”

"Hehe, you can't all be cheap outsiders." Without being recognized, they had long been accustomed to talking like this, and the man changed the subject and said, "That big one, have you figured out how to deal with it?" ”

The woman's hand reached into the man's clothes and touched it, and said in a coquettish voice: "Then it's going to trouble Uncle Zhao again, it's still the old rule." ”

Where can a man withstand the temptation, a woman will seduce a little, and there will be no soul, he reached out and pinched the woman's chest, and said, "My good spring sister, do we two still need to be polite?" Hehe, just remember to give me refreshment later. ”

The woman named Sister Chun twisted her body and pinched the man twice with her hand inside her clothes, wanting to refuse and welcome.

The man saw the woman's reaction, apparently having agreed, and was a little impatient, he walked up to the eleven or twelve-year-old boy, grabbed his hair, pulled him straight out of the plank, and dragged him to the ground.

The boy's scalp was plucked out and hurt, his body was scratched on the ground, he struggled and slapped the man, and his mouth made a sound of begging for mercy, how could the physical disparity be too great, the man slapped the child's face, directly shot out the blood, and scolded: "Be quiet, make more noise, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you to death." ”

The boy was stunned, lost his strength, and was thrown on the ground by the man, his eyes full of despair.

The man grabbed one of the boy's legs, pinched it in his hand, and said in the direction of the woman: "Look, I've been doing this work for more than ten years, and I promise that I won't be able to check it out when I go to the hospital." ”

As he spoke, the boy screamed and fainted.

In the dim light, the dilapidated and filthy basement was filled with helpless children curled up on one side, naked and entangled men and women on the other, and unconscious children with broken legs lying on the ground.

This scene shows the ugliness and sadness of the world.
