The woman told her life experience, it turned out that she had been an abandoned baby since she was a child - there was no two-child policy before, so some ignorant areas that favor sons over daughters either tested the gender in advance by B-ultrasound, and if it was a girl, she would choose to have an abortion; Either give birth to a girl and secretly abandon it, so that you can have another child. This is one of the important reasons for the imbalance between men and women today.

Rui Qianman has no family in her memory since she was a child, and the person who took her with her was an old beggar.

The old beggar said that she had picked it up. But where exactly he picked it up, he has been tight-lipped all the time.

"It's the rule, those people don't want you anymore, so the more you know, the more uncomfortable you feel." The old beggar explained to her.

The old beggar was lame on one leg, and he took Rui Qianman through the streets and alleys, as long as he had food and clothing. When others see an old man with a lonely little girl, they tend to be more charitable.

There were also people who would give the old beggar money, but he would always wave his hand and say, "I ask for food, not money." The person who comes to the door to ask for money is a debt collector, not a food. ”

This sentence often aroused greater favor from the benefactor, who would often get some tasty food, or some snacks, or stuff a few clothes, or something that could be exchanged for money for the old beggar.

In addition to begging, the old beggar also picks up waste and sells rags, although it is difficult to live in the open air, but the old man feels sorry for her, and Rui Qianman does not feel how bitter.

But when she was seven years old, the old beggar suddenly fell ill. The illness came very quickly, and he had always had a good body and bones, and he inexplicably started a high fever, and then shivered like leaves in a typhoon.

Rui Qianman took out a stack of dirty money from the old beggar's wallet, went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and fed him cold water. Probably because the fever reducer had worked, he was wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, sweating profusely, and then struggled to open his eyes and wave at the little girl.

"Man'er, come here."

Rui Qianman ran over and hugged the old beggar and cried.

"Grandpa!"

The old beggar did not speak, he pointed to the package he had been carrying. Rui Qianman understood and ran over to bring it to him. He stretched out his dry hand, unwrapped it, and shuddered and took out a small colorful quilt.

"This is the time to pick you up, wrapped in your swaddling." The old beggar pointed to the words embroidered on the quilt.

The old beggar was not illiterate, he also taught her to read and write, and also taught her to write her name on the ground with a small stick. She saw that the swaddling clothes were embroidered with the words "Rui Qianman".

"Maybe your mother embroidered it." The old beggar's voice was dry, as if the water had evaporated.

Rui Qianman held the small quilt, and big tears fell.

"Man'er, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to be eighty years old when I want to eat, I'm not sick or paralyzed, I'm content. After I die, don't trust anyone, and don't follow anyone else. You take this quilt and go to the police, they will settle you. ”

Rui Qianman cried even harder.

The old beggar seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he lay down on his side, and shrunk into his torn padded jacket.

"Did you hear that? Don't believe anyone......" He couldn't open his eyes anymore, but his mouth was still whining.

The next morning, the old beggar was frozen and as cold as a winter asphalt road.

Rui Qianman wants to bury her grandfather, but where does she get the strength? She remembered her grandfather's words, so she took the quilt and ran to the police.

She ran through a bustling street, turned onto a side street, turned several corners, and still didn't know where the police were.

In the past, it was the old beggar who took her, and he felt sorry for Rui Qianman and never asked her to do anything. So Rui Qianman didn't know what was going on in the world at all.

She spun around and turned into a dead end. On both sides of the cul-de-sac are messy colored steel houses, and the ground is full of dirty and foaming sewage.

Rui Qianman couldn't find the police, so she was so anxious that she started crying.

A fair-skinned man spotted her, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked over.

"Little girl, what are you crying about?"

"Grandpa is dead, I'm going to the police."

The white man was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "You have found the right person, I am the policeman." ”

"Huh? Are you a police officer? Rui Qianman stopped crying, and she handed the small quilt in her hand to the person, "Grandpa said, this is when he picked me up, wrapped in my quilt." ”

The white man took the quilt, looked at the words on it and said, "What is this?" ”

"Rui Qianman, grandpa calls me Man'er."

"Got it, Man'er, huh? You come with me, don't worry, uncle is a policeman, uncle will protect you. ”

"However, grandpa is dead, and he is still lying in the bridge hole."

"Don't worry, I'll call and ask other police to help bury him."

The white man led Rui Qianman away, he found a roadside restaurant, asked for two large bowls of braised noodles, one bowl for himself, and one bowl for Rui Qianman.

Rui Qianman devoured the bowl of noodles and sweated profusely. When she drank the noodle soup, another man came, the man had a long beard, he took out a stack of banknotes, and the white man stood up after counting the bills.

"Man'er, uncle is going back to help you bury grandpa. You follow him when the time comes. ”

Seven-year-old Rui Qianman followed the beard, who took her to a tattered minibus. She had never been in a car before, and after a while, she fell asleep.

When Rui Qianman woke up, she found herself back in the beggars' pile, surrounded by a group of small children, as well as a few fierce and vicious adults.

"Those with fine skin and tender meat can be sold for a good price when they grow up." A man with several scars on his face walked over, pinched Rui Qianman's face with his rough hand and said, "Let's beg for money for Lao Tzu first, and then talk about it after returning to the capital!" ”

Since then, Rui Qianman has been forced to kneel on the overpass to ask for money, the weather is very cold, sometimes kneeling for a day, her knees are frozen, and she can't stand up when she finishes work, so she can only be dragged away by the small boss, as if dragging half a piece of wood.

Thankfully, Scarface realizes this.

"This Nizi billet is good, it can't be disabled, and if it's crippled, it won't be able to sell it for money in the future."

Scarface gives her a change of errand, and he asks her to dress up in cleaner clothes and beg for money at the train station. The train station is warm, there are many people, and she can move, plus she is born with a pitiful look, so she can get a lot of money every day.

"This girl, with a future, is simply my cash cow." Scarface counted the money, purred her hair, and sometimes stretched his cool hand down her neck. The hand was as cold as a dead man's claw, and she shuddered at the thought of it.

"Give her more food, eat well, let her grow tall quickly, and ripen early." Scarface stared at her white neck, sucking his saliva and smirking.

The men around him also laughed, laughing so hard that Rui Qianman had goosebumps all over his body.

The train station was crowded with people, so Scarface sent a small leader, staring at the two or three children who were begging for food inside.

One day, Rui Qianman was begging along the benches waiting for the train in the station with a rice bowl in hand. She walked up to a man with glasses and a tweed coat.
