"For as long as I can remember, I've been following those traffickers everywhere, and my friends come and go, all of them are very young, no more than 10 years old, and they must have been abducted from everywhere. When the child is older, it is not easy to control, so when he reaches the age of ten, he will be sold into slavery. In order to prevent us from slipping away, the traffickers also raised a number of vicious dogs, which were specially used to deal with us, and if we did not obey, they would let the dogs bite us, and no matter how far we ran out, the dogs smelled and found us. ”

Yes, Xia Xia used to be very afraid of dogs, and every time he saw Eleven Lang, his face would tremble so bloodless, and he overcame it for two years before he finally dared to approach it. How could those traffickers treat such a young child in such a cruel way?

"When I was almost nine years old, I heard the head of the traffickers say that he was going to take us south to a place, as if he was going to complete a mission, and after completing that task, he would get rid of us all. I was scared, but I didn't dare to run away, because when I was a child, one of the older children escaped, and they took him and beat him to death. We blindly followed them, and we walked very hard, and many children died of illness along the way, and they disposed of the dead children while abducting new ones. Finally we arrived in this town, and the head of the human trafficker took us to live in a very remote dilapidated house in Hongcun, and arranged for us to beg. ”

I was heartbroken and panicked when I heard this, these traffickers are really inhumane and deserve to hell.

Xia Xia continued: "The traffickers arranged for us to wander around the town, each of whom had their own range of activities, and my mission was in the alleys around Xiuzhuang. This time, in addition to begging for money, they also arranged other tasks for us, repeatedly emphasizing that we should keep an eye on the people here and help them find someone. ”

I glared, looking for someone? It turns out that these children are begging for fake, and it is real to find talents.

"They told us to look for a very beautiful woman in this town, in her early thirties, and they showed us her portrait, and the woman in the portrait was indeed very beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and not at all like the human world. We couldn't forget that face at first sight, and the traffickers coaxed us that whoever could find this woman would be free. So we children are all looking for her, because that woman is our reborn bodhisattva, and if we find her, we can be reborn. ”

I wondered, "Who did they ask you to?" What woman is so important to them? ”

Very beautiful woman who will not be ...... I don't dare to think about it anymore......

Xia Xia did not answer, and continued: "My family went to beg, fortunately, although the people in this town are a little xenophobic, they are very kind, but I have never found the woman in the portrait, and the traffickers have become very impatient, constantly increasing the amount of begging money for us, and beating us from time to time to vent our anger. At that time, I was guessing that these traffickers should also be set up to help some people complete the task of finding people, so they were so anxious, and they even gave us an ultimatum, if we couldn't find the woman again, they would kill a child a day. ”

It's cruel! I gritted my teeth!

Xia Xia said this, it was much more terrifying than I imagined, I don't dare to imagine how I would survive in that environment, maybe I wouldn't be able to survive in two or three days-

No wonder Xia Xia never told me about the past, and no wonder she was covered in scars, old and new, those damn bastards! I was really angry, angry, and scared!

"For three or four days in a row, no one has brought good news, there is one less child a day, and the number of traffickers has started to decrease, probably because the people who set them up have done the same to them. The few days I spent in town were the most terrifying days of my life, because every day I went to sleep, I wished I hadn't woken up again, and I would rather die in a dream than be brutally beaten to death like these traffickers. ”

I stared at Xia Xia, feeling that I had fallen into Xia Xia's accelerated water and fire, and every day of my life was full of fear, and even my breath carried a disgusting smell of blood.

Xia Xia was expressionless, looking through the mirror vacantly: "I have been wandering within the scope of my mission, and one day, I noticed a house at the bottom of the alley, because that family has an attic——"

My heart, a tight slam, is it my home?

"There seems to be an occasional woman walking around in the attic, and the woman's figure is so beautiful, so beautiful that it seems to be painted, and I think maybe it's because the woman stays at home, so we haven't been able to find her. I waited downstairs in the house, hoping that the woman would open the window and look out when she passed by, and the beautiful face in the portrait was always etched in my heart, and I would have recognized it at a glance if it were her. But for several days, the beautiful figure only walked by lightly, and never poked its head out. The number of children around us is still dwindling, and there is a suffocating nervous speculation among us, and no one knows who will be the next child to disappear. Because I was afraid of losing my familiar friends, of the shrill screams they would give when they were beaten......"

I felt Xia Xia's hands on my shoulders, trembling gently, I couldn't help but cry, these sufferings that have passed but can never go away, I can't help it......

"I couldn't wait any longer, so that day, I plucked up my courage and approached the house, and I picked up a pebble and wanted to throw it at the window, so that perhaps she could poke her head out and take a look?" Xia Xia recalled that day with a longing look.

Is that the day I met her at the door? It turned out that she had been wandering around my house for several days, and I thought it was a chance encounter......

"I prepared a small bag of stones that day, and I wanted to knock on it when no one was around, but on weekdays, there was always no one in the courtyard, but there was a sound that day, I heard a person laughing, laughing very happily, I couldn't help but step forward to take a look, and I saw Sister Fei, you-" Xia Xia gently pinched my shoulder, and a smile finally appeared on her face in the mirror.

"Do you know, I often think back to that day, and I want to remember every detail of that day, the clothes that Sister Fei wore, the books in Sister Song's hand, the way the third brother secretly took watermelons from the basin, and Shiyi Lang - I have always thanked God for letting me come with bad intentions, but I was able to leave with kindness."

I stared at Xia Xia, unable to express the feelings in my heart.

Xia Xia took a light breath and smiled: "I always remember that day you were wearing an orange dress, like a sunshine in your body, smiling so happily, as if everything in the world would not bother you, but I have no way to laugh with you, how unfair this world is, I have not even been qualified to laugh since I was a child." That day, Shishiro yelled at me, but you ran to help me, asked me with concern if I had fallen pain, and did not get tired of the mud on my hands staining your beautiful dress, and you also gave me a piece of big and red watermelon, and you also told me your name, so that I could come to you if I had something. But you don't know, I don't have so many years later, and if I can't find that woman again, it will soon be my turn to disappear - I kept crying and begging, trying to delay time, and I could alarm the woman in the attic, and I saw the figure of the woman pausing by the window, as if hesitating to open the window to take a look, and I prayed that fate would make me lucky once, and that ...... this time."

Tears seeped from the corners of my eyes, and I asked gently, "That time you said that you wanted to exchange watermelons for money, was this reason?" ”

"It's not all, in addition to helping traffickers find people, we still have to pay for it every day, and if we can't get it, we still have to be beaten. Compared to the pain of flesh and skin, or the danger of life, the sympathy of others is nothing, it will only make one's miserable life more unbearable. I saw the disapproval on the third brother's face, the incomprehension on your face, and then the disappointment, that disappointment pierced my heart more than the ugly dislike of others, but what is the self-esteem, it can't block the beating for me, nor can it offset the disaster for me......" Xia Xia Muran said.

I patted her hands on my shoulders, which were usually warm, but now they were not warm at all.

That dark memory can still chill her soul to this day.

I was uncomfortable and said, "I went in that day and took the money, but as soon as I came out, you were gone." I knew they must have murdered you, I ran out to look for you, but you disappeared all of a sudden. ”

Xia Xia lowered her eyes and looked at my hand on the back of her hand, and smiled stiffly: "Sister Song and the third brother want to protect you and keep you away from those of us who live in the darkest places, I didn't understand before, but now I understand, now if someone appears next to Sister Fei like I did back then, I will also protect you in my own way like the third brother and them." ”

"Then you didn't get all the money that day, were you beaten?" I asked distressedly.

Xia Xia tried hard to pick the corners of her mouth, grinning and smiling: "Anyway, I'm used to it, I didn't get any money, I didn't have news of that woman, I was beaten anyway." I gave the money I had begged to the other children so that I wouldn't have to be beaten up by so many people. I remember that among the children, there was a little boy who was very timid, a little stupid, and he couldn't get any money, and some bad-hearted children would go to him to cheat money to make up his own money, and he would happily give money to others. I remember that he was abducted by us through a place called Anju, so I kept calling him Anju, and I also told him that if he can leave here one day, remember to go back to Anju, where there is his home. Anju will repeat the name over and over again so that he can remember it tightly. ”

Anju? I've never heard Xia Xia mention this boy, it stands to reason that at that time, mutual support will be very good, why does she never mention it? Don't? ……

"I was beaten that day, Anzhou hugged me and cried, more than I cried, he said that he was afraid of losing me, and I was the only person he could rely on. I hugged him tightly because I knew that another child would disappear that night, and I didn't want it to be Anzhou, who was only six years old......"

I have a sore nose and hot eyes, and I am only six years old, and I am going to suffer a lot......
