◎Chapter 28: Two Heavens

On January 22, 2009, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, there are still a few days before the Spring Festival.

For Chinese, Chinese New Year means family reunion. No matter where the cape is or at the end of the world, no matter how cold it is and how dark the night is, everyone wants to come home on Chinese New Year's Eve. In the haunting dream, the smoke of the home will never dissipate, and the smoke will be gone, but it is still smoke.

Where are our little ones, and can they set foot on the way home, there is a song about trafficked children that sings:

It's late at night, baby, are you afraid of the dark?

It's cold, baby, where are you sleeping

Do you have helpless tears on your face?

My heart is broken without you

The north wind blows baby, how do you face it

Snowflake Flying Baby, who are you looking for to snuggle

I'm going to collapse without you

The world is looking for you and you can't sleep

After going through hardships, he has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers

Come back, my darling

Braving the cold wind, hundreds of volunteers, most of them students, but also some white-collar workers, gathered at Yuexi Square. Ah Duo is the president of the Volunteer Association, and she and Su Mei distributed the printed photos of Xiao Dan and related information to devour everyone's hand. Ah Duo divided the volunteers into several groups, each responsible for an area, and made sure to find every corner of the city.

Su Mei said to everyone: The little Dandan in the photo is only four and a half years old, he has been abducted for a year, and now he is more than five years old, and his appearance will not change much, but the little Dandan may be crippled and used to beg. Everyone should pay attention, if the child is found, do not rush to rescue him, but secretly monitor, notify the team leader, and contact the police.

Ah Duo said: Let's go!

There are a few company employees in the square who are watching the bustle on the side, and they are discussing where to go to play during the Spring Festival holiday.

A male employee asked: Are we going to play billiards, or are we going to a bar to drink and KTV to sing?

Another female employee looked at the team of volunteers and said, "Why don't we do something more fun?"

The male clerk asked: What?

The female clerk replied: Don't you see, we should join them.

In many cities, there are some volunteers who are silently dedicating, regardless of fame and fortune, and they work tirelessly. The "Baby Come Home" volunteer group needs more caring people to join, and it is the common responsibility of each of us to pay attention to trafficked children!

Su Mei and Ah Duo are in a group, and they walk through the streets and alleys, through the bustling business districts and lively residential areas, looking for beggars everywhere. Where are the beggars, in those corners that are spurned. Few people are willing to approach them, not because they ignore them, but because they turn a blind eye. Looking at the eyes of a beggar, you can see your true face.

A begging child kneels on the ground and states the sins of all of us!

In front of a KFC storefront, Su Mei and Ah Duo saw a skinny little girl, holding an empty "family bucket" begging passers-by for money, which contained some coins and change. The girl wore pigtails, was only about ten years old, and was shivering with cold only in her autumn clothes and trousers. She was like a boulder in the water, and the flow of people bypassed her.

Su Mei looked sad and wanted to give alms. Ah Duo said that the money that this girl asked for would have to be handed over when she went back, so it was better to buy something to eat.

The girl couldn't get the money and stopped standing in front of the KFC window. She leaned close to the glass, put her hand on her forehead, and looked greedily inside, she seemed hungry and tried to swallow her saliva. Su Mei suddenly thought of the little match girl in the fairy tale, and could fully imagine the mood of this hungry and cold girl at the moment.

After a while, the girl simply lay down, curled up by the wall and fell asleep.

Su Mei bought a "family bucket" and woke up the girl, who sat up and politely said "thank you".

Su Mei squatted down and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl picked up a corn in her left hand and a chicken wing in her right hand, she was so hungry that she swallowed for a long time before answering: no name.

Ah Duo took out a photo of Little Dandan and asked, "Have you seen this little boy?"

The girl glanced at it and said, "They all call me a dead sister nail."

Su Mei asked: Dead sister nail, where is your home?

The girl looked up vigilantly at Su Mei, but there was no squeak.

Su Mei asked again: You ran out of the house, right?

The girl bit her lip and said timidly: Auntie, you ...... Don't ask me, okay?

Su Mei said: You tell me where my home is, and my aunt can send you home!

The girl was silent for a long time and said: I don't have a home, the street is my home.

Su Mei said: Do you have any plans, you can't be a beggar for the rest of your life.

The girl said: I want to be a ...... But I'm not pretty enough.

Su Mei said: What do you want to be?

The girl said: I will be a lady when I grow up, and I will be a prostitute!

Su Mei gained the trust of the little girl, and the girl briefly talked about her tragic past. Her family was in a very poor mountain village, and after her mother died, her father favored sons over daughters and often beat her and denied her food. When she was seven years old, the little girl was thrown by her father on a small dirt slope, and her father rode away on a bicycle, and the girl cried and called for Abba, and after catching up, her father threw her on the dirt slope again, and the girl chased after her, and so on three times. Finally, the little girl stood barefoot on the dirt slope, crying and choking, and the figure of her father riding a bicycle became farther and farther away, and the night became darker and darker, and gradually became invisible...... The girl was so scared, she was so young that she couldn't remember the way home.

The girl was abandoned and wandered the streets, but a woman took her in and took her to Yangcheng to beg for a living.

A few years have passed, and home has become a strange place in the distant past.

The girl didn't want to go home, she hated her father, and said in a very disgusted tone: He wants me to die, no way, how good I am living now, I can earn dozens of yuan a day, I can go to the bookstore to read, no one bombards me out. When I grew up, I went to Red Sleeve Villa to be a lady, and I could make a lot of money.

Red Sleeve Villa is probably a place, and Su Mei felt sad in her heart when she heard this. Before the girl finished eating, the cold wind suddenly rose, and suddenly the winter rain began to fall, she stood up, got up and left with the leftover "family bucket", and the thin figure gradually drowned in the sea of people.

Another group of volunteers called and reported the good news that a library director said he had seen Little Egg!

Su Mei and Ah Duo were extremely excited and immediately rushed to the library.

The librarian's name is Chu Shuqing, and he has not received any prestigious honors, however, he is a highly respected person. He opened the doors of the library to beggars and scavengers, and did not set any thresholds, and no documents or fees were required for anyone to enter the library to read a book. At the press conference, Director Chu quoted Borges's poem "If there is heaven, heaven should be what the library looks like".

This library is truly a paradise for beggars and wanderers who have nowhere to take shelter from the rain.

In the bleak wind and cold rain, those children who kneel on the street begging, those children who are thinly clothed, whose faces are red and their hands are cold, in their eyes, this library should be resplendent and shining!

Director Chu told Su Mei that the little egg they were looking for had come to the library a few days ago. The little egg was disabled, with his elbows turned outward, wearing unusually tattered clothes, and struggling to pull a wooden car several times his own weight

In the car, there was an older child with paralyzed legs, the older child's legs were seriously deformed, and he was holding a basin to beg for money. When it rained heavily, the little egg and the big child came to the library to take shelter from the rain and read a book, and Director Chu was deeply impressed and recognized the little egg in the photo at a glance.

Su Mei's heart was filled with joy and sorrow, and the little egg finally had a whereabouts, but the poor little boy was crippled by human traffickers.

Ah Duo said: What books did the two children read?

Director Chu: Picture books, just in the bottom row of the bookshelf.

Su Mei and Ah Duo looked at the picture books, they had a hint of luck, it was stormy outside, maybe the little egg would go to this library again to take shelter from the rain. They can imagine whether the cute cartoon pictures of this abducted child, who has left his mother's child, sitting on the ground, quietly flipping through the book, have aroused memories in the child's heart.

Poor child, may you forget all your afflictions in this library, in this moment of silence.

From the initial fear of being trafficked to begging on the streets, how much pain has been endured by the little heart. Bright eyes dim like stars, and missing mom is the only motivation for this child to live? I think about my mother all the time day and night......

Drawing Dragons and Bao Slash go through great trouble and find Black Skin in a luxury hotel.

There were more than a dozen tables of banquets in the lobby, but strangely, only one person was drinking, and one person raised his glass and poured himself a drink.

Painted Dragon and Bao Chop sat down on the empty chair opposite Heipi, and Painted Dragon said: Heipi, don't come harmless.

Heipi was not surprised at all when he saw the painting dragon, and said: What are you looking for me?

The dragon drew around the bend and said: Why, you have to treat you today, there are so many tables and banquets, can't I ask you to drink?

The black skin said drunkenly: My brothers have all gone in, and I will not forget them when I set up the banquet alone.

The dragon said: I want you to help find someone.

After hearing this, the black skin stood up, turned around and ran.

The dragon chased after him, and an arrow stopped him.

The two people looked at each other, and the black skin suddenly made a side kick as fast as lightning, hitting the head of the painting dragon, and the painting dragon almost kicked out at the same time, using a high whip leg, and when the soles of the two people touched, there was a crisp snapping sound, and the scalp was numb when they heard it. The dragon quickly counterattacked, and the right hook hit the black skin with lightning speed, the black skin did not dodge, and also swung a right hook, the iron fists collided, and there was a loud bang, and the two powerful explosive forces collided together, which was thrilling.

Bao Chop was a little nervous, but Painted Dragon and Heipi laughed out loud, praising each other's kung fu, no less than back then.

Draw a dragon to explain the intention, and ask the black skin to help find a little beggar.

Heipi shook his head and sighed and said: Every time I see you, I will be unlucky, can't I avoid you?

The dragon said: Then we will continue to fight.

The black skin said, "Forget it, I'll take you to meet someone."

Bao Chop said: Who?

Heipi asked: The beggar leader of Yangcheng.

The dragon said: Where is he?

Blackskin said: Red Sleeve Villa.

The dragon said: What kind of place is that?

Heipi smiled and told Hualong and Bao Chop that the Red Sleeve Villa is a mysterious place, and the world's most exclusive and luxurious entertainment venue is not as good as one percent of the Red Sleeve Villa, which is a paradise that men can't imagine. Compared to Red Sleeve Villa, heaven and earth are shit.

Draw the dragon said: Erotic places, right, where the prostitutes are Miss World?

Heipi said: I'll open your eyes, there, don't call Miss.

Bao Shu asked: What is it called?

The black skin said: Palace maid!
