Yang Xiuwen was silent for a while, and reached out to hug Li Xiaotong into his arms, as if looking for warmth, and like some kind of encouragement.

Taking a deep breath, he said to the two of them, "Let me tell you about a story that happened to my friend, and his experience may make you understand my behavior today. “

The carriage was quiet at this time, Zhang Peng sat up from the bed, Li Xiaotong held the hand he held around his waist, and twisted his body, as if looking for a more comfortable position.

He lay on the bed, looking at the bed above his head, his eyes began to blur...

A deep voice sounded from his mouth: "My friend is also an abducted child, and in his memory it was when he was four years old, one summer.

My parents' accent is like that of the Bashu place, and I vaguely remember that there are many trees, many mountains, and buffaloes in the environment where I live.

Every day, after his parents finished eating with him, they handed him over to his grandmother to take care of him, and then went to work in the fields.

Grandma's eyes are not good, things that are five or six meters away can't be seen clearly, he often jokes with grandma, hiding next to the firewood six or seven meters away, or in the chicken pen and duck house, grandma shouted that he shouldn't be, watching grandma with a bamboo stick all over the yard to find him, anxiously shouting "Mi'er, Mi'er, you're pulling a place, hurry up!" ”

Then suddenly came out to scare grandma.,It's fun.。。

After his parents left that day, he began to frighten his grandmother again, and went to the pyre by the side of the road at the door, and was about to hide.

I saw a vendor carrying popsicles and soda walking on the path, shouting, "Popsicle, sweet water." ”

In the seventies and eighties, popsicles and soda were too tempting for children!

Swallowing his saliva, his eyes stunned as he stared at the basket of beautiful glass bottles of soda and a wooden box wrapped in a quilt that the vendor was carrying.

The vendor is a man, tall and does not look like a local.

When I saw the little boy standing outside the door, my eyes brightened.

The vendor stopped and smiled and asked him, "Kid, do you want to eat popsicles?" Two cents a piece, five cents a bottle of soda. “

He nodded subconsciously, then shook his head again, and turned around to go home and ask his grandmother for money.

The peddler hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little friend, you are a good boy at first sight, my uncle gave you a bottle of soda to drink, no money, but you have to finish it here, I have to take back the bottle." “

After speaking, he took out a bottle of soda from the basket, opened the cap and handed it to him.

My friend was hesitant at first, but he didn't resist the sweet soda and took it and drank it.

It's so sweet! But I didn't know anything before I finished drinking, and I vaguely heard my grandmother's cry, "Mi'er, Mi'er... “

At this time, Yang Xiuwen found that Li Xiaotong's body was trembling, reached out and touched her forehead and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaotong, is there anything uncomfortable?" “

Li Xiaotong pulled his hand into his arms, hugged him tightly and said, "Xiuwen, I'm afraid!" “

Zhang Peng also said at this time: "This peddler is either selling popsicles, or traffickers!" “

Yang Xiuwen nodded and said, "You're right, it's human traffickers." My friend woke up with no idea where he was.

A four-year-old child who had never left his parents, he was terrified, crying for his mother and grandmother.

Then the door opened, and into came a fat woman, holding a thin wicker in her hand, with a face full of flesh and buckteeth.

pointed at him and scolded: "Little cub, don't cry, cry and beat you to death again, look at a few of them, are they honest, learn hard!" ”

After saying that, he cracked the door with a wicker, cursed ugly words in his mouth, and closed the door and went out.

The friend was frightened by the fat woman, with tears on his face, and looked around, only to find that there were three other children in the room, a boy and two girls, all hiding in the corner.

Curled up with a small body, trembling, and his face was full of tears, so pitiful, so helpless...

In the evening, the man who sold popsicles came and brought dinner.

Each person has a steamed bun with bud rice noodles, a small bowl of paste, and no vegetables.

When my friend saw him, he grabbed the man's trouser leg and begged, "Uncle, you can take me home, and I'll ask grandma to give you money for soda." ”

The man was no longer the same as when he sold soda, but said fiercely: "You still want to go back, it's a dream, stay with me honestly, I will find you a new mother, and a new father." “

Pushed him away with his hand, turned his head and asked the fat woman who came in with him: "How is the buyer's contact?" Shoot as soon as possible, lest you have too many dreams at night! “

The fat woman replied: "The two boys have already negotiated the buyer, but no one wants the two girls!" “

The man thought for a while and said to her: "Contact again, it's really not good, just sell it to the bald third, he definitely wants it, he complained to me a few days ago, there are not enough people to go out to help him beg, and the income is too small."

The fat woman looked at the two little girls and said: "Give the person to him, even if it is a waste, this animal has crippled every doll, either with broken arms and legs, blind and deaf, or dumb, to be honest, I am panicked when I look at it!" ”

Although their voices were not loud, the children heard them, and the two little girls cried on the spot.

The fat woman scolded irritably: "Shut up, cry again, and sell you to the bald third child immediately!"

That night, there was only a small kerosene lamp in the room, which flickered on and off.

There was some wheat straw on the ground, a ragged mattress, and a dirty quilt.

The four children were huddled together, and no one dared to sleep, like four lambs to the slaughter, scared and helpless.

But the night was so long that when my friend woke up, he was the only one left, and the other three were gone...
