When Zhou Xiaoyun was called, she became nervous. She would bite her fingernails when she was anxious. Now there were faint bloodstains on the nail bed of her fingernails.
Tiantian looked up at Zhou Xiaoyun, then at Lu Yunyao on the phone, and asked in a baby voice: “What is a fugitive? Is it a kind of chicken?”
Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Tiantian as tears flowed out. She turned her head wiped her tears with her hands, and said to Tiantian in a hoarse voice: “Give me the phone first, I want to talk to this person.”
“Then I will treat my friend’s illness with Sister Yaoguang later.” Tiantian shook her head, gave the phone to Zhou Xiaoyun, left the living room, and prepared to go to the room: “Sister, I will help you continue sorting out the paper shells first.”
Zhou Xiaoyun grabbed the phone and looked at the hang-up button on the screen. She still had a chance to hang up, and then return Tiantian to her family, and she could leave this unsafe place, but she finally gave up.
Perhaps she regretted all the worry and fear since she started her escape. It was good to be brought to justice by the police, but Tiantian……
Zhou Xiaoyun was sad and confused, slowly holding her phone and walking towards the living room window.
Zhou Xiaoyun was an adult, so Duan Xu removed the mosaic and voice changer, revealing Zhou Xiaoyun’s face.
Zhou Xiaoyun’s face was covered with black and gray, black and white, and looked very sloppy. Only her tears revealed her fair skin.
She didn’t look very old, and her eyes, which looked particularly big because of her thinness, were filled with tears, looking a little pitiful.
[Did she abduct the girl named Tiantian?]
[Even if it was abduction, Tiantian should be given a good home, instead of letting her live in a garbage dump.]
[I observed, that this is not a garbage dump, it should be an unfinished building, they use it to collect junk.]
[There is such a good signal in the unfinished building? Fake, fake, fake!]
[Anchor, can you tell me where this is? Or has anyone recognized her? No one called the police, I’m going to call the police!]
Zhou Xiaoyun now lives in an abandoned unfinished building, where there is no water, no electricity, and naturally no internet.
Tiantian was able to connect to the Internet because it was close to the People’s Square next to it, which was covered by the public network. Considering that many people lived in this unfinished building, the wifi model was radiated farther at that time, so that in the case of no water and electricity in the unfinished building, at least they could occasionally access the Internet.
However, although there was internet here, the network was very weak, and the Doudou was buffering. Zhou Xiaoyun and Tiantian rarely use Doudou in the house, but usually in the square. When they are at home, they usually download the video in the square and watch it at home.
This was the first time to watch the live broadcast so smoothly and interact with the host.
Zhou Xiaoyun went to the window and looked down at the bullet screen above.
Zhou Xiaoyun has no ID card, WeChat or Alipay. She has a much harder time in this world than most people. Fortunately, she picked up a mobile phone that could connect to the Internet, which was enough to keep her connected to this world.
She looked at the bullet screen that quickly jumped on the page and saw the words “trafficking” and “police”. She felt a little wrong. She did hurt the man, but Tiantian was not abducted by her.
She asked Lu Yunyao: “How do you know my information? Is it because I’m on the wanted list?” She sniffed: “You can ask the police to arrest me, but Tiantian was not abducted by me. Everyone in the unfinished building knows that she has a family.”
Lu Yunyao said: “You can take a look at my homepage. I know the fate of anyone who wants to connect with me, and I can guide the person who connects with me on his life path. By the way, I suddenly thought of something. The person who connects with me can’t afford two luxury parties. Can anyone help reward me?”
After Lu Yunyao finished speaking, someone rewarded the luxury party.
Lu Yunyao said thank you, and the person sent a bullet screen.
[I just like to watch the fun. This little money is nothing to me. And I like to watch the plot involving fugitives and wanted criminals!]
The comments echoed:
[I like to watch it too. The anchor hasn’t said what mistake she made yet?]
[Can someone tell me the address of the contact person? I want to call the police! I can’t stand the trafficking of children, and I can’t stand the suffering of children. Anyway, no matter what it is, I will take care of this trivial matter!]
[Tell me yourself, where do you live? I will call the police right away!]
[Contact person, tell me the address quickly!]
Lu Yunyao said, “Didn’t I say it? She is not wanted. What she should do now is to contact her mother and get her ID card back.”
Hearing the word “mother”, Zhou Xiaoyun flinched and tapped her knees with her fingers, tapping the holes in her jeans on her knees to reveal more denim lines.
Zhou Xiaoyun said with a trembling voice: “I am now on the 10th floor, Unit 1, Building 33, Xiangyang Park, Economic Development Zone, Yunzhou City, Xiangnan Province.”
After she finished speaking the address, she began to cry again, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, and said: “I won’t run away. It’s very hard to pick up garbage all the time. It’s good to go to prison. I just can’t let go of Tiantian.”
The barrage shouted to call the police, but in fact, no one did. Lu Yunyao was not prepared to call the police. Just like she said, Zhou Xiaoyun was not a fugitive at all, and there was no need to call the police.
But Zhou Xiaoyun felt that since the address had been given, someone must have called the police, and the police were on the way and were about to catch her.
Guessing the other party’s psychology, Lu Yunyao said: “Why are you worried about Tiantian? Tell me before the police arrive. My live broadcast room is very popular, maybe someone can help Tiantian, right?”
Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at the number of viewers in the live broadcast room at this time, two million.
There were indeed many people. Zhou Xiaoyun thought that someone could help Tiantian, so she talked about Tiantian’s situation.
Tiantian’s story was very similar to Lu Yunyao’s experience. Young and ignorant boys and girls ate the forbidden fruit, and after having children, they could not bear the responsibility.
The young man and woman left the child to the elderly. The young mother went out to work, pretending that she had never given birth to the child. She had already married someone else, and the young man also worked outside and never returned to this small city.
But this old man was more cruel than Lu Yunyao’s grandfather at the time. He raised the child carelessly. It was still Granny Xiao who collected rags and scraps that couldn’t stand it, so she took over the task of raising Tiantian.
When Tiantian was four years old, Granny Xiao passed away, and Tiantian was raised by her grandfather again.
Tiantian’s grandfather liked to drink a little wine and eat some meat dishes, but he had no patience for this young child. He often threw a steamed bun to her and let her chew it slowly.
He didn’t spend a bit of thought on this young child, letting the five-year-old Tiantian run around the street with her butt naked. Zhou Xiaoyun saw Tiantian under such circumstances.
Tiantian was naked, and a greasy man was taking pictures of Tiantian with a mobile phone in his hand.
“That man is so disgusting, he took pictures of Tiantian.” Zhou Xiaoyun was so angry that tears came out, and she kept saying: “What does he want to do? Tiantian is still so young!”
[I can’t help it, my fist is hard, he dared to take pictures of a five-year-old girl!]
[I’m so angry, this Zhou Xiaoyun is still too thin, if I were there, I would kick that man away.]
[I think the parents of the little girl are also wrong. If the grandfather hadn’t let the child naked, the man would not have made a mistake.]
[The words above made me vomit, shuishj002, you should be glad that this is the Internet, if I see you in real life, I will beat you every time I see you.]
[Here it comes, the victim harm theory is here, and this time it’s disgusting to make people vomit, the victim is a 5-year-old child! I don’t know anything! What did she do wrong?]
[Zhou Xiaoyun, keep talking, so Tiantian is raised by you?]
Zhou Xiaoyun continued to talk. When she saw Tiantian, she thought of herself in the past. She bought a set of clothes for Tiantian and brought the child to her grandfather.
Tiantian’s grandfather was playing poker. He held a cigarette between his lips and looked at Zhou Xiaoyun with a slanted look and said: “I am so old. Children run around all the time. How can I control them? If you are kind, you can raise them.”
The poker friends next to him looked Zhou Xiaoyun up and down.
The aggressive gaze from the man-made Zhou Xiaoyun flinch. One of her hands was clenched into a fist. Her fist was covered with brass knuckles with blades. If anyone dared to attack her, she would cut him with a knife.
The man showed his yellow teeth, sneered, and said to Tiantian’s grandfather: “Do you think everyone is as nosy as Mrs. Xiao? It’s not easy to get Tiantian out. She’s still a little girl.”
Tiantian’s grandfather held the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff, sucking the last cigarette butt clean. The low-quality cigarette smoke sprayed towards Zhou Xiaoyun and Tiantian unscrupulously.
Zhou Xiaoyun pulled Tiantian back.
He coughed and spat out green phlegm on the ground, and rubbed it with the sole of his shoe: “It’s like this for men to take care of children. Thank you, little girl, for your kindness in giving the child a set of clothes. Just leave her here. I’ll take her to dinner after I finish this round.”
Zhou Xiaoyun still held Tiantian’s hand. This child called Tiantian was really sweet. She smiled sweetly and said: “Grandpa, sister took me to dinner.”
“That’s great.” Tiantian’s grandfather was visibly happy: “Go play by yourself. Remember to come back to sleep at night.”
It was already past dusk, and the sun was about to set. The color of the sunset was far less gorgeous than it was more than ten minutes ago, and the horror of the night was faintly revealed.
Zhou Xiaoyun was afraid of the night. The night represented sin. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, there were always some people who tried to do something inappropriate. During the years of wandering, some people who took advantage of the night to bully her.
Later, Zhou Xiaoyun would always go to the park to wash herself clean and go to McDonald’s and Kented to sleep 24 hours a day.
Zhou Xiaoyun held Tiantian’s hand, gritted her teeth, and said: “I live nearby, she’ll sleep with me. I’ll take care of her.”
Zhou Xiaoyun was a wanderer, living in different cities, and she stayed for Tiantian.
Someone told her that she could live in an unfinished building, and if she needed water, she could go directly to the square to get water, so Zhou Xiaoyun settled down in the unfinished building.
This unfinished building was only a few hundred meters away from Tiantian’s grandfather’s scrap collection place.
