About 3 kilometers southeast of Yau Ma Tei, there is a hill, the hill is not big or high, the highest point is only a few hundred meters, occupying a few kilometers of the circle.

Originally, the hill had no name, but because there was a Nanshan temple on the mountain, it was called Nanshan by the locals.

Nanshan Temple is said to have been passed down from the Qing Daoguang period, and the incense was also prosperous, but since the Xianghai City was colonized by the British Mastiff Empire, the customs have changed and Buddhism has declined.

In its place, theology flourished, churches sprung up, the days of Nanshan Temple were not as good as day by day, and the days of continuous incense were gone.

With the loss of incense, the temple became more and more devastated due to lack of funds, and finally even the basic life of the monks could not be guaranteed, and the young monks went down the mountain to find another way to make a living, and most of the people who stayed on the mountain were old, weak, sick and disabled.

This continued until a few years ago, when the last remaining monk sat down, and no one ever came here again.

For a few years, the stone path leading to the mountain was covered with overgrown weeds and shrubs, and now there is no trace of it.

Nanshan is strategically located, the strange rocks on the mountain are craggy, the grass and trees are lush, the downhill is the urban area, the back mountain is adjacent to the sea, it is at the foot of the mountain to form a bay, the sand of the bay becomes a rare silver-white, forming a silver beach, the scenery is very beautiful

Halfway up the mountain, there is a rough stone house, the layout of the house is in the shape of a courtyard house that is rare in the local area, and it looks like it is hidden between the green mountains and green waters from a distance, which has a unique flavor.

The house was originally the workshop of the temple tenants in the heyday of Nanshan Temple, but since the Nanshan Temple was broken and the fertile land under the mountain was returned to the forest, it has been uninhabited here.

After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the roof tiles and beams have completely fallen off, showing dilapidation.

The four walls are only made of bluestone, and they are quite stable, but they have been beaten by wind and rain, and the moss on them is mottled, which looks damp and cool.

The east has just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the faint light of the east reflects the usually uninhabited Nanshan even darker, and from a distance it looks like a giant beast lying on the ground with only the outline of its back exposed.

In such a back mountain full of danger, darkness, and silence, in such a dilapidated courtyard, there was a sound today.

By the faint light, a little girl of five or six years old woke up quietly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched out her body curled up in the doorway, moved her thin body that was sore from the stone slab under her, and stood up with her support for the door frame.

The little girl stood on tiptoe, pressed her face to the door, and looked through the more fence-like panels, apparently made of dead leaves, but the night before dawn seemed darker, and the room was so dark that nothing could be seen.

The little girl put her ear to the leaky door panel again, listening to the movement inside, but there was no sound inside, and the little girl was obviously panicked, and hurriedly untied the door panel that was tied with rope.

The door was slammed open by the little girl, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the doorway, and the faint light passed through the doorway, revealing a figure with a cloak of hair.

The light shone on the figure's head, a long, gray, yellow, sticky hair, with an emaciated, pale, stiff face hidden beneath the mess.

Seeing the woman standing silently at the door like a ghost, the little girl was visibly relieved, and leaned over in fear and attachment.

The woman stretched out her fingertips, hesitantly touched the little girl's bruised cheeks, and spat out a hoarse voice from her chapped lips and asked, "Also, does it still hurt?" ”

The little girl didn't speak, but just hugged the woman's arm vigorously, pressed her sallow little face against the back of the woman's rough hand, and rubbed it gently.

The woman sighed, looked back at the empty behind, breathed a sigh of relief, took the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the city as soon as possible to find something that can be used, and strive to clean up another room today, it is best to find some plastic tarpaulin, build a shack, it seems that there will be a heavy rain in the next two days." ”

When the little girl heard this, she gently let go of the woman's arm, took the rope from her bosom, and carefully fastened the tattered fence gate.

On the way down the mountain, the little girl turned back step by step, looking at the house behind her, her heart was full of sweetness and unprecedented security, and she kept thinking in her heart: "Is this what it feels like to be at home?" ”

Speaking of this mother and daughter, they are also hard-working people, the mother is called Xiong Ah Mei, and the child is called Xiong Anxin.

Seven years ago, seventeen or eighteen-year-old Xiong Ah Mei was the age of youth and innocence, located in the inland mountain village, the girl's house in the inland mountain village, there was a natural yearning for the outside world, especially the modern urban life of watching TV, making phone calls, and taking the tram in the metropolis.

When he was eighteen years old, he received a letter and a remittance slip from Xianghai City, which was mailed from his aunt Xiong Sangu, who had fled from famine and had never heard from her.

According to the aunt who had never met in the letter, now she is in Xianghai City, her life is good, and she has a small asset, but she escaped famine in her early years and fell ill, and she has nothing to do in middle age.

If there are many brothers and sisters in the family, if they are voluntary, they can go to Xianghai City to vote for her, she will treat them like parents and children, and also hope to rely on the elderly.

In that era, if you haven't experienced it, you won't understand the temptation of the metropolis to young people in mountain villages, let alone for a Miao girl who has always been known for daring to think and do, dare to love and hate, just like that, Xiong Ah Mei persuaded her parents to embark on the road of finding relatives.

However, the bad luck did not go away because of the girl's boldness, a girl born in the mountains and grew up in the countryside could not predict and could not deal with the dangers outside the mountains.

On the first night of leaving home, bad luck befell this ignorant girl who had just walked out of the house.

On the bus to the provincial capital, this innocent girl was raped by the conductor who escorted the bus, calling every day should not be, calling the earth and the earth ineffective, there is no way to redress grievances, and there should be no help, so that the originally cheerful and beautiful girl was silent.

In this era when you have to buy a ticket for everything and go out, the girl who has no documents can only look at the gate of the customs from afar.

The helpless girl wandered outside the customs gate for more than a month, and finally with the help of a kind person, she knew that there was still a way to smuggle out, and spent all her money to buy a black boat ticket for smuggling to Xianghai City.

However, when crossing the sea, it coincided with heavy rain, and the dilapidated sailboat fell into disrepair and leaked water on the way, and in order to reduce the weight of the boat, it was almost thrown into the sea by the ship's boss, but fortunately the rain stopped in time to avoid being shipwrecked.

Misfortune is not a single line, but blessing is incomparable.

After arriving in Xianghai City, it happened that the arrival policy of Xianghai City was tightened, and it was difficult to become a naturalized citizen without the guarantee of relatives, and once found, he would be repatriated.

In this strange city, where money reigns supreme and there are more gangsters than cops, the unaccompanied and penniless girl suffers and finds the address on the letter, but it is in ruins.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, the helpless girl found that she was pregnant, remembering the suffering she had suffered in just a few months, a moment of sadness came from her heart, she couldn't afford to be sick, fainted on the streets of Xianghai City, fortunately met a kind lady, and saved her life with the help of the lady.

The girl who woke up, although her life was saved, but the hardships of life and the ugliness of human nature caused this young girl to suffer from severe personality splitting and paranoia.

Every night is full of annoyance and desire to destroy, every dawn fantasizes about becoming a person of various identities or animals, plants and even stones and other objects, only at dawn before the sun rises and the evening sunset in the west, the sky is not completely lit or darkened, the mind can still maintain a certain level of lucidity.

The gentleness and kindness of the eldest lady are like a warm current, thawing the girl's heart that has become cold, and her kindness and spiritual disgust have been tormenting this young girl who has suffered many disasters.

Under the care of the kind aunt, the bear sister gave birth to a daughter, and the aunt named her Anxin.

However, the good times did not last long, and not long after Anxin was born, a serious illness took the life of the eldest mother, and the property left by the eldest mother was then robbed by distant relatives.

Losing a place to stay, Xiong Ah Mei took peace of mind and lived a wandering life of hunger and hunger.

In the bustling city, there is no tile on the top of the head, there is no place to stand under the feet, there are police arrests during the day, and wild dogs chase and bite at night.

There is no fixed place to live, there is no food, only before the police do not go to work, after the wild dogs return to the den, at dawn, come out in the garbage heap on the street and alley to find some food to eat.

With the familiarity with the city, yesterday I finally found a satisfactory place to stay in the mountains behind Nanshan, although it is a little remote, although the house has no roof and furniture, but it is better that no one fights for it, and occasionally you can pick up some shellfish on the beach.

What's more, the thick bluestone walls can bring an unprecedented sense of steadiness to mothers and daughters who are seriously insecure.

Here, not only can you protect your daughter from being hurt by wild dogs and jackals at night, but you can also block the beating of her when she is sick.

What's more, I finally have a place of my own, a home that is completely my own!
