"Why... Why don't you go and report to the official?" Fu Yuan looked at the child in front of him, and asked puzzledly, after reporting to the official, they can escape from the control of that fat man, no matter how difficult life is after that, it is better than being under his hands, he may be whipped from time to time, and it is terrible to be beaten to death!

Hearing this, Xiao Shao's originally relaxed expression changed suddenly, his eyes were all frightened, as well as hidden deep hatred and malice, he suddenly grabbed Fu Yuan, his movements were too fast, so that Fu Yuan didn't react for a while, Xiao Shao looked at him, stared at his eyes tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "You must..." Don't report to the police!"

Seeing the child in front of him suddenly have such an expression, Fu Yuan's heart suddenly felt a little weird, especially in the ... When he saw Xiao Shao's eyes hiding something, he asked again, "Why?"

Xiao Shao was still holding his hand tightly, but Fu Yuan could feel that the whole body of the child holding his arm was trembling, and he tried his best to restrain the fear leaking from his eyes, but his trembling body restored his most real reaction, and his crying voice sounded in Fu Yuan's ears, "We... We are all ... What a bastard that no one wants!"

The child in front of him said the most cruel truth in the world, his eyes were red, he grabbed his arm, but he leaned against the cold wall and squatted down slowly, "We are all... What no one wants, what is abandoned... Wild bastards, who will take care of us?"

"The government won't care about us," Xiao Shao clenched his hand, obviously he was only an eight or nine-year-old child, but the despair in his tone was terrifying, "We will be taken back by him, and then..." Killed, we... We can't escape, as long as we are caught, we... We're definitely not going to end well!"

When Fu Yuan heard Xiao Shao's words, he clenched his palms, lowered his head, and muttered to himself, "No one will care about us?" The expression on his face was obscure, no wonder, although he already knew the answer, but after hearing it with his own ears... It's still going to be, I can't help but feel it... Why does the government ignore them? This so-called, self-proclaimed protector of the people, good and evil... Why, adjudicator, would they not even reach out to the helpless little children, and help them? Not just abandoned by their parents, but... Abandoned by this world, right?

It was already dark, and there was no shadow of the sunset in the west, and it was time for them to go back.

Xiao Shao looked at the gray sky, he touched his empty pocket, and then glanced at Fu Yuan in front of him, thinking of the punishment he would receive if he didn't bring back the 'loot', his body couldn't help but tremble, he kept trembling, because his hand was still holding Fu Yuan's arm, so Fu Yuan felt it all of a sudden.

Fu Yuan also realized this problem, he did not hesitate, and took out a bulging money bag from the shabby pocket with his right hand, Xiao Shao looked at the bulging money bag in front of him, his eyes widened all of a sudden, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, he opened his mouth enviously, and looked at Fu Yuan with admiration, "You... You're amazing!"

After saying this, he lowered his head in an instant, and said sadly, "Unlike me, I'm useless, even if I steal a jade pendant, I will be caught!"

"It's fine. Fu Yuan comforted, although his voice was immature, but there was a calmness that a seven- or eight-year-old child did not have, giving people an inexplicable sense of comfort, he divided half of the silver in the bag in his hand to Xiao Shao, and said to him, "These are for you, the spoils of war!"

Xiao Shao looked at Fu Yuan in a daze, his eyes were full of tears again, he gritted his teeth and wiped the moistness on his cheeks and eyes, and grabbed Fu Yuan's hand gratefully, "Thank you... Thank you, you really are a nice person!"

The first time he heard other people's praise, Fu Yuan only felt a little hot on his face, but at this time, his face was dirty, and he couldn't see anything.

He looked over his head slightly embarrassedly, his eyes wandered, but he didn't look at Xiao Shao in front of him, so he missed the strange emotion in Xiao Shao's eyes at this moment, he thought about it, and then opened his mouth to Xiao Shao and instructed, "So much silver, don't hand it in at once, survive these few days first!"

"Uh-huh, I know. Xiao Shao nodded obediently and put away the silver.

The two children supported each other in the dark night and walked towards the dark place.

In Liangcheng, a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city, the thin and cool moonlight was quietly sprinkled on the ground, and the icy cold air invaded people's hearts.

A small dilapidated house, because it was too dilapidated, the walls were depressed and leaky, and there was only a large wooden bed in the room, which at the moment was crowded with seven or eight dirty and ragged children, so it was extremely cramped and cramped.

"Xiao Yuan?emmm?" Xiao Shao woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, and by the moonlight, he saw a shadow sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked at it, and asked sleepily, "Why don't you sleep yet?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep first, I... Can't sleep. Fu Yuan came back to his senses and just shook his head.

"Oh..." Xiao Shao couldn't care so much when he fell asleep, he only answered, and then fell asleep again.

And Fu Yuan, he sat on the bed with his knees crossed, surrounded by those children who were sleeping deeply, and a cold wind came in through the cracks in the wall, such weather, such an environment, these children didn't even have a thin quilt, but they were used to it.

He looked up at the roof, where there was a relatively large gap, from which the silver moonlight poured in and fell on the bed, and he looked down the gap to the sky.

In the sky, except for a lonely cold moon, there was nothing left but endless empty black, not even a single star could be seen.

There seemed to be a low whimper faintly coming from nearby, the light in Fu Yuan's eyes flashed, he still kept his head up and looked at the moon unchanged, but the little hand on his side involuntarily tightened.

This dilapidated compound is not just such a dilapidated hut, like the house he is staying in now, there are many in this compound, the original owner of this compound thought that this place was too remote, so he moved his family to Kyoto, far away, and this compound was also abandoned, like... Their group of abandoned children, all abandoned in the wilderness where no one is, all... Not loved...

There was an intermittent whimper in my ears, as if it was very close, and yet far away-

It was actually coming from a few rooms that were relatively close, Fu Yuan knew, but it was because it was blown to pieces by the fluttering wind that it sounded like this.

At the same time, he also knew that these low, suppressed whimperes were those... Today, it was issued by a child who was beaten by a man because he did not hand in the "loot".

Despite being in this dilapidated place for several days, and seeing more than once what kind of punishment is given to children who do not complete their "tasks", but... This night, Fu Yuan still had insomnia again.

He recalled the words of the little boy next to him during the day - the government will not care about us, we... They are all abandoned wild mongrels!!

The silver moonlight sprinkled into his eyes through the cracks in the roof, there were no stars in the sky, but at this time, his eyes seemed to be full of starlight, and those eyes were beautiful... It's actually a bit demonic.

It's not that Fu Yuan didn't think about going to the police to get rid of the control of human traffickers, but although he didn't have any memories of the past, he still had a kind of caution engraved in his bones to remind him not to act rashly.

He risked being caught today to save Xiao Shao because he couldn't bear it, but also because ~ he heard the tall and thin man mention the government.

When he heard Xiao Shao say that the government wouldn't care about them, he actually understood something - the so-called... A self-proclaimed protector of people, good and evil... The adjudicator, actually... There is no escape from the hypocritical and greedy nature.

He knew, he also understood, the government was unwilling to contain them, unwilling to put them in jail, and even when the traffickers went to the government to ask for them, they didn't care about throwing them back into the hands of the traffickers, just because it was too troublesome to dislike them.

The prison cells of the government are also limited, and it is better to hold some other people who are willing to be ransomed with silver, and these children, in their eyes... Actually, it's a loss-making deal!

The corners of Fu Yuan's lips suddenly hooked up a mocking smile, and in the dark night, the wind and moonlight were cold......
