It was late at night when we got back to our hotel suite.

Annie lay on the bed, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Joey's number.

Joey's phone is still shut down, and it is not known whether the news of Kaisen's suicide has reached Joey's side.

After Wu Si took a bath, he urged Annie, "You've been traveling all day, take a good hot bath to relieve fatigue."

"Okay." Annie picked up the pajamas thrown by Wu Si, got up from the bed with a smile, and walked to the bathroom.

When passing by Wu Si, Annie suddenly reached out and put her arms around Wu Si's shoulder.In the next second, Annie's lips naturally fell on Wu Si's cheek.

The kiss was caught off guard, and Wu Si was taken aback for a moment before remembering to be shy, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"No." Annie shook her head, she just wanted to kiss Wu Si.

Wu Si pushed her, "Go take a shower if you don't have anything to say."

Annie nodded, turned and walked into the bathroom.

The water vapor from Wu Si's bath hadn't dissipated before, and the air in the bathroom was abnormally humid. Coupled with the orange lights, the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous.

Annie stood in front of the mirror and raised her hand to wipe off the moisture on the mirror.In the mirror, there was a pure and pure face, it was her, but it was not her.

In Annie's consciousness, her body has always remained the same as it was 15 years ago, and has never grown up.But in fact, she has grown up long ago, her bones have stretched, her appearance has changed, and there is no place where her body should develop.

After Annie took off the T-shirt on her body, she hesitated for a long time before slowly untying the restraint on her chest.She didn't like her body. After escaping from the orphanage, she always felt that her body was dirty. Every time she looked directly at her body in the mirror, she had to use great perseverance to control herself so as not to spit it out.

Some things are forgotten by the spirit, but always remembered by the flesh.

Suddenly, Annie thought of Xiaosan.To be precise, it should be the mistress before she died.

During the transitional period from winter to spring, the cold gradually dissipated, and on the withered branches, there were more birds that came out to forage. They stood on the branches chirping, celebrating that they had survived another winter.

Annie remembered that when Xiaosan went out, Joey repeatedly told Xiaosan not to be playful and to go back to the orphanage before dark.

What is Xiaosan going to do when she goes out?

Yes, to a wedding.Someone in the village got married and wanted to celebrate it. Two good-looking children were invited from the orphanage to play the role of boys and girls under the throne of the Goddess of Mercy.

Acting as a boy and girl is a very hard and tiring job. You have to sit on a cold desk for a whole day, unable to speak or move. After a day, your body is stiff.

Children with parents are naturally reluctant to let their children suffer. Every time there is a wedding in the village, they go to the orphanage to choose virgins.

Bitterness is bitterness, but after the wedding, the host of the wedding will reward the boys and girls with a full meal. If you are lucky, you will get more rewards, and you can take some back to the orphanage so that the children in the orphanage can also improve their meals. .

Xiaosan went out happily, but never came back.

No one took Xiaosan's disappearance seriously, only Joey and Annie searched hard in the village.Joey said that even if an accident happened to Xiaosan, the body of Xiaosan should be found and buried for Xiaosan.

In order to improve efficiency, Annie and Joey searched separately.

Finally, Annie found Xiaosan in the small temple next to the orphanage.

The small temple has been abandoned for a long time, the yard is overgrown with dry grass, and the ground is covered with broken walls and ruins.

Annie entered the temple and saw the dying mistress lying on the ground.Her clothes were torn in an ugly shape, her body was covered in blood, and her lower body was in a mess.

Annie panicked, knelt down beside Xiaosan, held her hand, and asked her what was wrong.

Xiao San couldn't speak at all, but whimpered in a hoarse voice, like a wild dog in the village who had been poisoned to death.

It was early in the morning, and the morning sun shone into the main hall, spreading gold powder all over the floor.

Xiaosan grabbed Annie's hand and said in pain, "Sister Annie, I'm so sleepy."

A few simple words were spoken intermittently, as if he might die at any time.

Annie was at a loss, so she could only repeatedly say to Xiaosan: "Don't sleep, did you hear that? Don't sleep."

Xiaosan shouldn't be damned, such a cute little girl would act like a baby with her, and would leave delicious things for her, kind like a little angel.

Xiaosan's voice became weaker and weaker, "Sister Annie, let me sleep, it won't hurt when I fall asleep."

Annie could do nothing but hold Xiaosan's hand tightly.

Tears slowly flowed from Xiaosan's eyes, "Sister Anne, I really hurt, let me sleep."

Annie bit her lip hard, and asked Xiaosan, "Who did it?"

"Several people, all adults, said they would take me to buy something delicious." Xiaosan said angrily, "I'm sorry, Sister Annie, I didn't expect them to lie to me, I thought they were all good people."

Annie wanted to run out to call someone, but Joey reminded her that no matter what happened, she must not speak up.

Annie, "Little San, you stay here, I'll go find your sister Joey."

Xiaosan, "Sister Annie, don't go, stay here with me, okay?"

"No, if you don't go to Joey, you will die here." Annie shook her head, she had to find a way to save Xiaosan, she didn't want Xiaosan to die here.

Xiaosan, "Will it be painless if you die?"

Anne nodded.

Joey said that after a person dies, he will become a corpse. The corpse lies in a coffin and is buried in the ground by relatives. It will neither be hungry nor thirsty.Annie thought, since she will not be hungry or thirsty, she should not be in pain.

Xiaosan begged Annie, "Then let me die, it hurts too much to live."

Annie felt that no matter how painful it was to be alive, it was better than death.If she died, Joey would definitely be very sad, and Teacher Wu had always taught her to be brave, and brave people would not easily seek death.

But Annie was too young at that time, and she was powerless to save Xiaosan. She had no choice but to kneel on the futon and beg for the dilapidated Buddha statue.

Joey had brought her to this ruined temple before, pulled her to kneel down, and made a wish to the Buddha statue.Joey said that the Buddha is omnipotent, as long as you make a sincere wish to the Buddha statue, the Buddha will definitely hear it and fulfill your wish.

Annie didn't believe it before, how could a statue carved out by humans be nothing more than a big rock to satisfy her wish.

But right now there is no other way but to be pious.

Annie kept pleading, kowtowed from morning to night.

She really hoped that the Buddha would appear suddenly and save Xiaosan, her and Joey.

Unfortunately, my Buddha is merciful, smiling and not saying a word.
