When Liu Binbin heard the iron door closing, he was waiting for the other three people to call him out. As a result, one minute passed and it was quiet outside; two minutes passed and he couldn’t sit still any more; three minutes passed and he stood up directly.
Liu Binbin simply moved to the door and heard a soft sob.
Originally, he thought it was the two girls crying, but the door quietly opened a gap, and Liu Binbin found that the sobbing was not from the two girls, but from Shang Jinrong.
Shang Jinrong blew his nose in front of the computer and kept rubbing his eyes.
Shang Jinrong was a boy. Chinese people pay attention to the continuation of the family line. The two girls may not have been abducted but were sold by their families because they value boys over girls. Boys were abducted mostly because there was a market, and buyers wanted boys to carry on the family line.
Shang Jinrong deliberately avoided thinking about what would happen to his family after he got lost. Now that he had seen the video, he kept thinking, was his family the same as this family?
He looked at Old Lady Sun Aifang as if he saw his grandmother.
A twisted black-and-white picture with swirls appeared in front of him. He was about three or four years old, and was being dressed by a young woman: “Baby, listen to grandma when you are outside, don’t run around, okay?”
“Okay!”
Although he promised his mother, a three or four-year-old child was too interested in everything in the world. Everything was strange and new to him. His grandma walked too slowly, so he let go of her hand.
When his grandmother came to pull him, he also pulled her to prevent her from holding him. He ran very fast, deliberately making her unable to catch up with him. When his grandmother asked him to slow down, he ran faster instead: “I’ll wait for grandma in front!”
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he looked at the things in the store for a while, and then at the tall street lights. Everything was so novel.
After a while, he heard the sound of spitting. He looked over and saw a man wiping the thick spit with the sole of his leather shoe, taking something out of his pocket, and walking over with something.
The man stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile: “Want to try Little White Rabbit Milk Candy?”
He ate the candy and was asked if he wanted to eat more. He nodded and was taken to the alley. Then he was in a daze and didn’t know how many trains and cars he took. He had new parents.
Changing parents was good at first, but soon the new mother became pregnant.
Before pregnancy, his memories were fragmented and confused, but since the new mother became pregnant, all his memories became clear.
“Didn’t you say it was difficult to get pregnant before? But now I’m pregnant.”
“Since I can give birth, let’s sell the eldest child when I give birth to a boy.”
The new mother gave birth to a boy, and he was sold.
Having a similar experience to Liu Binbin, Shang Jinrong began to remember things and even remembered where his second home was, and the phone number was clearly remembered, so the traffickers sold him to a beggar group. Isn’t it to make a phone call? He can’t make a phone call after cutting his tongue.
Shang Jinrong’s ears were also pierced, so he became deaf and mute.
Shang Jinrong cried as he looked at Sun Aifang, and thought about how his grandmother was.
The two girls did not watch the video for the second time like Shang Jinrong. They gathered in front of the phone, sliding their fingers and reading the messages on it.
They wanted to know, does this anchor have the ability to let them know where their family is?
Liu Binbin opened the door wider, but no one saw him.
Liu Binbin saw that the separated cake showed signs of melting, and he couldn’t help feeling distressed: “We should eat the cake, otherwise the cake will melt.”
After the two girls looked up at Liu Binbin, Hu Yuchan kicked the stool where Shang Jinrong was sitting.
Shang Jinrong then noticed that Liu Binbin had left the room. Shang Jinrong gestured: [Binbin, take a look at this video. She reminds me of my grandmother. She lost her grandson. The child was snatched from her hands. She has been looking for him for 13 years. The family is already in tatters.]
Liu Binbin’s face twitched. He didn’t look at Shang Jinrong but looked at the two girls. At this time, You Jinglian was not present. He wanted to know the true attitude of these two friends.
Du Yuehua said: “Binbin, Yuchan, and I watched the summary of the past videos of this anchor [Fairy Yaoguang]. She is indeed capable. If she says that Sun Aifang is your grandmother, there is a great possibility.”
Hu Yuchan nodded and said softly: “I think so too.”
Liu Binbin seemed to be deflated and gave up and raised his arms.
“If I am her grandson, what good is it to have a disabled grandson like me? Isn’t it better to be full of hope and think that the grandson should be healthy?”
He looked at his wrist, the front part was empty. Every once in a while, he felt that he had accepted his disability, and then he would have phantom limb pain, repeating the pain of the day when his hand was cut off.
He felt that this pair of stumps was disgusting. He was a burden. If he found his family, he would only drag them down.
Just let this old lady hold on to hope and think that his grandson was living happily and healthily somewhere, isn’t that good?
Hu Yuchan said: “Binbin, Old Lady Sun Aifang has prepared for the result. You will know from the video that she has nothing to lose.”
Du Yuehua touched his stump and whispered: “Seeing Old Lady Sun Aifang, I hope I can be as lucky as you to have such a relative who is willing to wait and support me.”
Shang Jinrong gestured: [This anchor said that helping you is the first step, and the second step will also tell us clues and let us connect with our family.]
Liu Binbin stood there for a long time. He longed for his family in his heart.
You Jinglian, an outsider, were not there. Only three friends with physical disabilities were in the room.
“If, I was her grandson, wouldn’t she dislike me?” Liu Binbin asked in a low voice after a long time.
The three shook their heads, and Shang Jinrong clicked on the video.
A cheerful spring song sounded, and Liu Binbin looked at the screen.
At this time, no one cared about the melting ice cream cake.
Liu Binbin used his stump to push open the door.
You Jinglian had been waiting for a long time. Some netizens suggested introducing the surrounding situation. You Jinglian was introducing their place to the live broadcaster: “This is the old unit house…”
As soon as You Jinglian saw Liu Binbin, she quickly pressed down the camera.
Liu Binbin, with red eyes, shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: “Aren’t we going to connect? Raise the camera.”
You Jinglian did as she was told, and Liu Binbin turned his head away. He didn’t look at the camera on his phone but just raised his arms.
Liu Binbin said: “I watched the video and listened to what Old Lady Sun Aifang said. I don’t remember anything in it. My nickname is just Binbin by chance. I may not necessarily be that Zhuo Wenbin.”
Liu Binbin spoke very quickly. He was afraid that if he didn’t finish speaking in one breath, he would not have the courage to continue: “I can’t read much, and my cultural level is not high. I can’t do anything without my hands. Sometimes I have phantom limb pain, which hurts all night long. After that, I can’t cheer up for several days. What I am suitable for is begging, but now everyone uses electronic payment, begging is difficult. I am a useless person.”
Everyone can see clearly that this boy, who was only 18 years old, had only half of his forearm, and his arms were trimmed into a round shape, with nothing in front.
Usually, Liu Binbin would wear long sleeves to cover his arms, but now they were exposed, allowing Old Lady Sun Aifang to see the two small red and black moles on the inside of his elbows.
Old Lady Sun Aifang stood up suddenly: “It’s Binbin, it’s Binbin, he’s my Binbin.”
Lin Jiajia quickly supported the elderly: “Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
“Not only the mole on the inside of his arm but also a small horse post on his ear.” Sun Aifang said: “It’s him, it’s him!”
One of the two small moles was red, and the other was black. The red one was bigger and the black one was smaller. This feature was unique, and the horse post on the ear made her sure that he was her grandson Binbin.
Old Lady Sun Aifang shouted: “Binbin, don’t be afraid, it’s okay, grandma will take care of you, you just come back.”
Liu Binbin heard this and raised his head quickly. He couldn’t say anything but just pursed his lips.
This little action was even more familiar. When Binbin was a child, he would purse his lips like this when he was embarrassed, and he would pinch his earlobes with his fingers.
But now, Liu Binbin has no hands, so he can’t pinch his earlobes.
Old lady Sun Aifang burst into tears again and kept saying: “Binbin, don’t be afraid, grandma is very capable, grandma is a special teacher. Grandma is very capable, Grandma can make money to support Binbin, don’t be afraid, if you feel uncomfortable, Grandma will accompany you to see a doctor, if you want to study, Grandma will find a way to let you continue to study.”
After watching the video just now, Liu Binbin wanted to see Sun Aifang, so he moved his mouth.
Lu Yunyao said: “[Worker vs. Worker] Rotate the video perspective.”
“Okay.” You Jinglian reversed the camera of the mobile phone so that Liu Binbin could see Old Lady Sun Aifang.
Sun Aifang looked at Binbin’s face, wiped her tears with her hands, and smiled: “Binbin.”
“I will do a DNA test with you, and we’ll see what the result is.” Liu Binbin said.
“No, you are Binbin.” Before meeting Liu Binbin, Sun Aifang felt that she needed to do a DNA test, but now, she felt that there was no need to do a test at all. He was her grandson.
Lu Yunyao said: “Let’s do a test you are in the same city, it’s not troublesome. I just looked at the electronic map, and I will tell you which police station to go to after the connection is over.”
Old Sun Aifang now does whatever Lu Yunyao says: “Okay, thank you, anchor. I remember your name, I will reward you when I change my phone after I go back.”
She was using her old phone right now, and she couldn’t watch the video at all.
She knelt directly in the direction of the phone, and Tang Song quickly dodged, and Lin Jiajia went to help the old lady.
Liu Binbin left the camera: “Shang…”
He was going to call Shang Jinrong, but Du Yuehua came over with a stool, “I want to be the second one. Sister You, let the anchor look at me and help me find my family.”
After her legs were cut off, Du Yuehua was only one meter tall, and she appeared in front of the netizens in the live broadcast room with her head raised.
