Chess Game: Villain, place your bets

As soon as Donghua ran home, his parents came back.

When her mother saw her sitting on the bed without doing any work, she yelled at her.

"Are you out?"

She subconsciously lied: "No."

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

The mother took off her high heels and walked into the toilet, where the sound of bathing could be heard.

Her father was lying in bed chatting with others. No one cared whether she had eaten or not. The whole room was filled with the cigarettes her father smoked.

Donghua silently curled up in her room and covered her mouth and nose with a blanket. She hated the smell of cigarette smoke. Her father's cigarettes were very choking. Whenever she coughed, her father would beat her, so she had to endure it as much as possible.

She brought back two books and read them secretly. Her parents did not tell her about dropping out of school in advance. She was very puzzled at the time. If the tuition and miscellaneous fees were too expensive, then she could find a part-time job to earn money by herself, or even sell scraps, so that she could share some with her family.

But her parents were very angry, saying that she was a bitch and would get married sooner or later, so reading so many books was of no use.

She was unhappy and said they were feudal superstitions and women nowadays could block half of the sky.

As expected, he received another beating. They don't understand Donghuayu, they only know that investing unnecessary money is a waste.

Dong Huayu stayed at home alone and had nothing to eat. She stroked her sore belly and got up to go to the kitchen to get some water.

One night, her parents hurriedly came home to pack their things and left. She asked and was slapped again. She watched the two people leave in a panic, completely unaware of what was happening. I can only continue to stay in the house.

For many days, she felt that she was probably going to die. Her whole body was so hot and weak that she couldn't even move, and she kept huddled in the small room.

"Bang", the door opened. A group of armed police officers came in to search. They quickly checked the large room and the toilets before heading to the small room.

The door opened slightly, and everyone present sighed. I saw a cramped space like a cabinet filled with clutter. In the gap between the clutter, there was a girl lying under a dirty blanket.

They quickly launched a rescue operation. Send Donghuayu to the hospital.

She woke up again in a white hospital, with the sun shining on her face. She felt very warm, and tears rolled down her face.

A female police officer came over to ask her about her situation in a friendly manner, and she answered truthfully.

The female police officer touched her head and told her to rest peacefully and not to think too much. She could continue schooling after she was discharged from the hospital.

She didn't know what was wrong, but she didn't ask, she just nodded.

When she got better, a few more policemen came to explain the situation to her. She was really not her parents' biological child, so no wonder they treated her so badly.

Moreover, she was trafficked... I don’t know exactly how old she was when she was trafficked. Dong Huayu’s memory is incomplete, so she has called them parents as long as she can remember. Dong Huayu only felt ridiculous when he thought of calling them for so many years.

Fortunately, she is not her biological child, and she still has a chance to be happy.

According to the police, the couple had engaged in many human trafficking incidents in the past ten years. Dong Huayu was not the first. During the six years she was imprisoned (it is speculated that she was taken by human traffickers from around ten years old to Now 16 years old, about six years), many children have encountered accidents one after another. They were caught by the police when they tried to traffic again.

"Thanks to that little classmate, without the clues he provided, it would be difficult for us to find the suspect quickly."

The police uncle seemed to remember something and handed a report to Dong Huayu. Donghuayu did not open it, but remained silent.

She was admitted to an orphanage.

For the first time, Dong Huayu had his own big room. It was no longer a crowded cabinet. The quilts were all clean and white. The food was also very good and did not smell bad.

As she looked at it, the good life she had dreamed of was right in front of her, but she burst into tears.

Her only best friend in the world was gone...

The report sheet was stained with blood, which was visible even after it dried. She didn't even ask. She couldn't say a word in that ward. She could tell from the looks of the people around her that there was no good news.

She escaped from the orphanage, walked for a long time and returned to the community. After some inquiries, she found the cemetery.

She entered the cemetery and kept walking, and found his tomb based on intuition alone. She was already here, but she didn't dare to look up. She knew it was his photo, in black and white. If she guessed correctly, he was still smiling as before, as if full of sunshine...

"sorry Sorry……"

Her knees were weak and she knelt down straight. She hit something on her leg and it hurt. She dug into the pocket of her baggy clothes and took out something hard.

It was chestnuts given to her by Qin Shixuan. She was reluctant to eat the last two, so she kept them, hoping to retain the sweetness.

But... no one will ever teach her to resist oppression, no one will buy her baked sweet potatoes in the winter or ice cream in the summer, and no one will ever tell her that she can also have a happy life. …

He is no longer here...

The chestnut was firmly held in her hand, and she stood up to leave. The world in front of her fell apart. She felt like she was immersed in a deep pool. She couldn't breathe and fainted at the entrance of the cemetery.

Another dream. She saw Qin Shixuan who had just received the report sheet at the hospital entrance and walked out with a smile on his face. Before he could get far, a car lost control and rushed over. He was knocked to the ground and run over by wheels. Suddenly, his eyesight turned black. .

For a time, many people gathered around to help him. When he was put on a stretcher, he had lost all feeling in his legs. Seeing that the group of people were about to take him away, he quickly grabbed a person and asked her to find the report and call the police. There was a poor girl still waiting.

But there was blood in his mouth, and he choked when he opened his mouth, unable to speak. He could only use his last strength to point to the location of the report sheet.

Later, the police came to the scene and saw the file bag. The identity information on it was consistent with the suspect they wanted to arrest recently, and they immediately confirmed it. After hard work, the suspect was successfully captured and Dong Huayu was rescued.

But at this moment, the dream stayed at the moment when Qin Shixuan's mouth was full of blood.

Donghuayu woke up in tears.

【That's right...】

Donghua understood. No wonder they were so mean to her. No wonder they would show impatient faces when she asked them what her name meant. There was no deep meaning at all... One time her "mother" got angry and said, "Get off here." If you are born on a rainy day, you will be called Donghua Yu, why are you so annoying! Just stay alone and don’t force me to slap you!"

Her "father's" surname is Dong and her "mother's" surname is Hua, so she is called Dong Huayu.

Qin Shixuan said that her surname was as strange as a compound surname. She only disagreed with him on this matter. She really hated this name and she had been beaten too many times because of it.

[Qin Shixuan...you liar...if you don't want to go to college with me, just say so. What's the point of taking the first step? Do you want to break up with me? As long as you live, I will definitely not bother you anymore! Wake up! Why can't such a good person like you live for a long time...]

【I can't do it without you...】

She still woke up alone, returning to this world where he was no longer around.

She was afraid that she would forget their friendship, so she found a better notebook to write down this story.

"What's your name... Tell me, what name do you like?" She began to talk to herself in the empty room, laughing and messing up her hair.

After a while, she murmured again, "Sorrow refers to death due to underage, violent death... let's call it "Sorrow of Sour Chestnut"! Do you think it's good too? That's great!"

Her eyes had no light and she was smiling blankly...

Donghuayu took up his pen and wrote the title:

Sorrow of sour chestnuts

The chestnuts on the table have long been shriveled and wrinkled, losing their original sweetness.

------

【Why did you leave so quickly...】

She finally recovered from her stupor, her eyes still watering.

There was a serious error in her cognition. Whenever she thought of Qin Shixuan, she would imagine his tragic death. Later, it was so serious that she thought he died because of her. If he hadn't helped her, Qin Shixuan would not have died.

【I'm sorry for you...】

The star in the sky no longer twinkled, it was swallowed up by darkness.
