The night breeze blew, stirring Zhao Xiangwan's broken hair in front of his forehead. She lowered her head, her mind drawn back to the past.

She is the third eldest in the family, and she is twins with the fourth sister Zhao Chenyang, but the treatment is completely different. Zhao Chenyang plays every day, and she starts doing farm work when she is not high on the stove; Zhao Chenyang's mouth is sweet and beautiful, and her parents love her, she is introverted and honest.

was accidentally struck by lightning at the age of ten, and Zhao Xiangwan had the ability to read minds.

My sister hugged her and cried: Sister, I'm so worried about you~

[Thunder can't kill you? What a! 】

Mom sighs: What books to read? The family is poor.

[If you have money, I won't use it for you.] 】

Dad: Don't compare with the fourth sister, Dad likes you the most.

[It's not biological, and it's not ripe. 】

Zhao Xiangwan only knew what "my sister wants to let my sister" and "my family is poor and can't let you study" are all lies! The partiality of the parents is only because she is not biological.

"Zhao Xiangwan, Zhao Xiangwan?" Zhou Qiaoxiu's call pulled Zhao Xiangwan back from his memories.

"Teacher Zhou, it's not biological, is it really unfamiliar?" Perhaps it was the night that eliminated the barriers between people, or perhaps because of Zhou Qiaoxiu's strong motherhood, Zhao Xiangwan finally opened up a trace of his heart and asked this doubt hidden in his heart.

Zhou Qiaoxiu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and replied seriously: "This still depends on human nature." Children who know how to be grateful, even if they are not biological, will honor their parents; And a child who is greedy by nature, no amount of love for him can fill that desire. ”

Zhao Xiangwan said softly, "Teacher Zhou, Mei Mei...... Probably the latter. ”

Although she had been prepared, Zhou Qiaoxiu still felt heavy when she heard this, from five years old to eleven years old, Mei Mei Chenghuan brought her so much joy in six years, but now she has to admit that this child is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, and she can't get over it in her heart.

"Even if they are sisters, their parents can't make a bowl of water completely even. Mei Mei is eight years older than the baby and is already in elementary school, can't I take care of the baby a little more in life? Why do you say that Meimei is not grateful at all, and her heart is so vicious? ”

Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the street lamp stretched the shadow of the two people and the car for a while, and shortened it for a while. There was silence everywhere, except for the faint chirping of autumn insects in the grass.

"Maybe you're right, people with different hearts will have different choices in the same situation."

After saying this, the two of them didn't say anything more, and there was only the sound of Zhou Qiaoxiu stepping on a bicycle on the empty road.

Finally arrived at the back gate of the park, usually there are a lot of stalls and vendors here, but now it is late and there is nothing. Zhou Qiaoxiu raised her hand to look at her watch, and only then did she realize a problem: it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep, where to find the baby?

Zhao Xiangwan was not discouraged, and pointed to a large residential building in front of him: "The police near the back door should have asked, let's go through this community and find the fried food shop first." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu has a motherhood that Zhao Xiangwan longs for, gentle, kind, and loving, and Zhao Xiangwan is willing to accompany her to find a child late at night. Maybe...... One day, I will be able to find my biological mother and enjoy that belated love.

Zhou Qiaoxiu pushed the bicycle, Zhao Xiangwan walked on her left, the two walked through the community, walked along a laneway, walked to the third street shop, looked at the "Xiaoyan Roasted Goods Shop" signboard hanging above the store, and the two glanced at each other.

"Is this the case?" Zhou Qiaoxiu asked.

Zhao Xiangwan couldn't confirm it, his eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't nod. From Mei Mei's heart, she only knew that it was a fried melon seed shop in the alley behind the old community at the back gate of the park, but it was not clear which one it was.

Thinking that the baby might be at home, Zhou Qiaoxiu stepped forward and knocked on the door without disturbing the people.

Zhao Xiangwan grabbed her and shook her head: "Teacher, don't worry, let's find all the fried food shops and knock on the door." ”

The two of them walked around quickly, and found a total of three fried food shops in the alley.

Zhao Xiangwan pointed to the "Wu Ji Roasted Goods Shop" closest to the street and said, "That's it." "There was a cloth mop in front of the store, and when I got closer, it emitted a milky sour smell, which seemed to be the smell of a little doll.

Zhou Qiaoxiu was anxious, and when she heard her say that it was this family, she didn't think about it at all, and directly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The old-style shops were all wooden and closed one by one, with shops in front and houses in the back. The knock on the door was not loud before, and there was no movement inside, so Zhou Qiaoxiu had to intensify the knocking sound.

"Wang! Woof! Barking! There was a sound of dogs barking, and the alley suddenly became lively.

"Squeak-" Someone on the opposite side opened the door, and a man in a coat scolded angrily: "Three watches in the middle of the night, what a noise!" ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu ignored others and continued to knock on the door heavily.

Finally, a glimmer of light leaked through the crack in the door, and the sound of kicking slippers sounded from inside, and through the door panel was a woman's voice: "The door is closed, let's come back tomorrow if you have something." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu's heart beat faster and faster, she was silent, and slammed the wooden board with one hand into a fist.

The wooden board was smashed to the ground, and the owner of the shoe store opposite was annoyed, and he opened his throat and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, if you have something to say, don't make Lao Tzu sleep." ”

The door panel was finally removed, and a middle-aged woman with loose hair poked her head out under the dim light, yawned and asked, "Who, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan looked fixedly, his right hand quickly reached out, grabbed the other party's wrist, and scolded sharply: "Where is the child?!" ”

The woman was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Xiangwan's arm, panicked, and asked while trying to break free: "What are you doing!" Robbery?! ”

Zhao Xiangwan took out his student ID card from his pocket and flashed: "We are from the Public Security University, what about the little girl you brought home today?" ”

The student ID card of the Hunan Provincial Public Security University is written in white on a green background, and the golden shield logo in the center is particularly dazzling in the dim light, which has a natural warning and deterrent power.

The woman is just a small trader, where can she tell the difference between the public security university and the public security police, when she saw the documents, her pupils shrank, her face turned pale instantly, she turned her head with trembling lips and shouted into the house: "Lao Wu, Lao Wu, come out quickly." ”

[Damn, how did you find out?] This little girl is beautiful, but she is too good to cry, and she finally mixed wine in milk to put her to sleep, why did the public security come to someone? 】

Zhao Xiangwan's heart was shocked, milk mixed with wine? How dare a three-year-old child get hurt by drinking alcohol?

Zhao Xiangwan increased the force in his hand, and the woman grinned in pain, and screamed: "Pain, pain, pain, ......"

Zhao Xiangwan was born in a peasant family, and at the age of six began to step on a small bench to stand on the stove, and she fed several pigs at home.

"The little girl you took in is our public security child, and if you don't hand it over, you will be punished as human trafficking!"

Zhou Qiaoxiu listened to Zhao Xiangwan's tone firmly, when she thought that her daughter was inside, where could she still hold it? Without waiting for a reaction in the house, he quickly removed a door panel and walked into the store, assisted Zhao Xiangwan in subduing the woman, turned around and rushed to the back of the store.

Chapter 4: Baby

◎It's all my fault◎

Hearing the movement outside, a thin man hurriedly ran out of the back room, and saw Zhou Qiaoxiu's eyes on fire, thinking that she was a plainclothes policeman, so frightened that his legs trembled, and he wanted to kneel on the ground to express his loyalty: "Comrade Public Security, we are not abductors, we are good people~"

Seeing the thin man acting like a thief, Zhou Qiaoxiu kicked him down and rushed into the bedroom at the back of the store.

Small businessmen are thrifty and reluctant to use electricity, the wattage of incandescent lamps is low, the light in the room is very dim, and the cluttered items are placed around, and there is not even a place to put their feet. On the north side of the wall, there is a brick bed, on which a wooden board rests and a bed is covered.

In the corner, a small flower quilt was wrapped in a small doll, with a pigtail on the top of its head, and the strawberry hair ring tied was particularly conspicuous.

Tears gushed out, Zhou Qiaoxiu's heart was sour and happy, and she rushed over and hugged her: "Baby, my baby!" ”

After looking for a day, panic, fear, doubt, anger...... All kinds of negative emotions enveloped her, Zhou Qiaoxiu not only hated Meimei for being greedy enough to deliberately lose the baby, but also regretted that she shouldn't let the baby out of her sight, but it was more of a deep worry, afraid that the baby would starve and suffer, and afraid that the child would be abused.

Now that she finally held her child in her arms, Zhou Qiaoxiu felt that she had the whole world, and she didn't care about waking up the child, clinging to her smooth face, and muttering to herself: "The baby is not afraid, the mother is here, the mother is here." ”

The excitement gradually calmed down, Zhou Qiaoxiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she looked down, the baby's cheeks were flushed strangely, her breathing sound was heavy, and her eyes were closed and she was sleeping deeply.

Even if the child is snooze, she can't wake her up with such a big movement? Zhou Qiaoxiu hurriedly put her forehead against her forehead, as if she didn't have a fever, and put a finger under her nose, and the breath she breathed was very hot.

Out of her mother's intuition, she leaned closer and sniffed hard, a smell of wine hit the end of her nose, Zhou Qiaoxiu turned her head to look at the thin man lying on the ground, and her voice became extremely high-pitched because of anger: "You drink wine for the baby?" ”

The child is only three years old, and with such a strong smell of alcohol, how much wine did she feed?!

The man shook his head in a panic and explained urgently: "The doll loves to cry so much that the noisy neighbors are uneasy, and there is no way to do business...... Just a little, a little. ”

Zhao Xiangwan clasped the hands of the shopkeeper behind her back, found a hemp rope to tie it, and walked quickly to the bedroom: "Teacher Zhou, they mixed wine in milk, let's take the baby to the hospital quickly." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu was so angry that she trembled all over her body, where could the little doll, who was only three years old, withstand the stimulation of alcohol? The child was unconscious, apparently alcoholism. The child she regarded as a treasure was abused like this by two businessmen!

"Phew!" A mouthful of spit on the man's face, a cold light flashed in Zhou Qiaoxiu's eyes, "Zhao Xiangwan, you tie him up too, let the neighbors call the police, and we will go to the hospital." ”

Zhao Xiangwan nodded, tied up the person neatly, and walked out to the crowd watching the lively crowd and said, "Who is the trouble to help call the police?" The owner of the speculation shop is suspected of abduction and child abuse. ”

One sentence defined the incident, attracting angry denunciations from the surrounding neighbors.

"It's so unusual, I didn't expect Lao Wu and his wife to be such people."

"Before, these two people always said that they wanted a daughter with three sons in their hometown, but they didn't expect them to abduct and sell children."

"Abuse? No wonder the child doesn't cry anymore, it's a bad thing that chops off the brain......"

Immediately, an enthusiastic person knocked on the door of a commissary, called the police on a public phone, and promised indignantly: "Don't worry, these two people can't escape." ”

After arranging everything, Zhao Xiangwan pushed out the bicycle and stepped on it with long legs: "Teacher Zhou, go!" ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu pulled a thin bag to wrap the child, hugged her chest firmly, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and the two quickly left the roasted food shop and went straight to the nearest Xingshi No. 3 Hospital.

When the child was sent to the emergency room, Zhou Qiaoxiu sat on the bench in the corridor, and found that she had no strength in her body, and her hands trembled like a sieve.

Zhao Xiangwan stood aside and looked at her side face.

[Fortunately, the couple hasn't taken the baby away yet.] It's okay if the baby is okay, it's okay, even if I lose my life, I'm willing. Even if the baby has a bad brain, as long as she lives, I will raise her for a lifetime. 】

It turns out that true maternal love is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of her children? Even if the child is stupid and disabled, he will never give up? Hearing Zhou Qiaoxiu's inner muttering, Zhao Xiangwan felt a ray of sunshine shining in his heart.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were childlike longing, and Zhou Qiaoxiu, who was gradually calming down, turned her head to look at her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Zhao Xiangwan, thank you." ”

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head slightly, pursed his lips and did not speak, his narrow eyes were even deeper under the light.

Zhou Qiaoxiu stretched out her hand, gently held Zhao Xiangwan's wrist, and brought her to herself. After a long sigh, Zhou Qiaoxiu leaned on her sideways, wrapped her arm with her other hand, and closed her eyes slightly: "Zhao Xiangwan, fortunately there are you......"

There was a warm touch on his wrists and arms, and feeling Zhou Qiaoxiu's still trembling body, Zhao Xiangwan stood passively, a little overwhelmed.

In the face of bad people and bad things, she dares to face it head-on. But in the face of the praise and trust of others, she doesn't know how to respond.

Mind reading made her understand the hypocrisy of human beings too early, and Zhao Xiangwan has always been very reluctant to contact with people's bodies. But now that Zhou Qiaoxiu has just experienced a great psychological impact, and the whole person is trembling, Zhao Xiangwan can't bear to push it away, so he can only stand stiffly and passively look at the top of the teacher's head.

The fluorescent lamps in the corridor of the hospital's emergency room shimmered with a cold white light, and the blue-gray terrazzo floor, dark brown benches, and snow-white walls were quiet and lonely.

"Zhou Qiaoxiu!" A voice suddenly broke the silence.

Zhao Xiangwan took half a step back and distanced himself from Zhou Qiaoxiu. Zhou Qiaoxiu raised her head in a daze and looked at her lover in front of her with an unkind face.

Xu Songling lowered his voice and tried to control his emotions: "Why did you come?" Mei Mei fainted, but you, a mother, came here so late, how sad it hurts the child's heart. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu came back to her senses for a long time: "Meimei...... Faint? ”

Xu Songling didn't seem to take Meimei to heart at all when she heard her, gritted her teeth and said: "I'm also very anxious if the baby is lost, but you have to believe in the power of the public security, we will definitely be able to find the baby." Don't be angry with Meimei, stay calm. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu sneered, turned her face and did not speak.

In the face of Zhou Qiaoxiu's coldness, Xu Songling was helpless, and turned his gaze to Zhao Xiangwan, who had been standing beside Zhou Qiaoxiu, and frowned: "Who are you?" ”

The captain of the criminal police brigade had a bad spirit, and before Zhao Xiangwan could speak, Zhou Qiaoxiu had already blocked in front of her: "This is my student, and he has been accompanying me to find the baby, what's wrong?" Isn't it allowed? Captain Xu, don't be prestigious here! ”

Zhao Xiangwan didn't want to see their husband and wife arguing, so she took the initiative to explain: "Officer Xu, the baby has been found and is being treated urgently in the emergency room." ”

Xu Songling's eyes lit up, and they dimmed again in an instant, and he took a step forward: "The baby has found it?" What's wrong with her? ”

Thinking that Xu Songling blindly defended Meimei and didn't believe in himself at all, Zhou Qiaoxiu didn't want to talk to him, so she glanced at him and snorted.

Xu Songling was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Zhou Qiaoxiu, Teacher Zhou, say it quickly." ”
