The Scavengers

Flipping out his cell phone, maybe he wasn't the first to call the police, but it's safer to call the police just in case.

"Hey, this is the end of Ninggu Avenue in the sixth district of Chengnan, near the intersection near Shannan Jiayuan. There was a major car accident here, and a child was hit. He is now dead. Please send an ambulance and a police car over here! What's your surname? My surname is Xiao, could you please call the ambulance first? Hurry up! Maybe the child is still alive!"

Xiao Mo squeezed hard while dealing with the operator of the emergency center.The crowd finally squeezed a gap for him.

Carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform, the boy was twisted and lying on his back tens of meters away from the front of the truck.

Someone was around him to confirm his life and death, and everyone who put their hands under the boy's nose shook their heads.

Da Tan's blood flowed from under the boy.

Xiao Mo knelt down on one knee next to the boy's head, and stretched out his hand to press his neck.

No pulse.

A man in his 40s, who looked like a truck driver, was crying and walking around the front of the truck without a clue, yelling anxiously from time to time: "I didn't hit him! It was a green light just now, he rushed up by himself! I Didn't hit him... I didn't..."

Suicide or accident?

Xiao Mo mustered up the courage to look at the boy's face.

This was the second time he had seen the face of a dead man.

The first time it was his mother, this time it was a stranger who had only met twice.

The early death of his mother was Xiao Mo's eternal pain. He would never forget the horrible scene when he opened the door of his parents' room and saw his mother dying on the bed with a hideous face.

Liu Ying, his mother, died five years ago at the age of 51. The indirect cause of death was cerebral infarction, and the direct cause of death was asphyxiation.

When the mother had a cerebral infarction, she vomited, but because she lost her body control, she was unable to call for help, let alone spit out the vomit in her mouth.That's why he lived next door but didn't hear anything.

Death by suffocation is the most painful way of death in the world.

His mother's terrifying face scared him so much that he ran out of the room at that time, not even daring to confirm whether his mother was alive or dead.

Closing his eyes, the face he deliberately forgot appeared in front of him again clearly.

It's so clear, is this the second development of his brain?Memory does not retreat but advances?

While thinking wildly, Xiao Mo focused on the boy's face.

He didn't know why he cared so much about the boy's face and expression when he died, and even forced himself to look at it.

The boy's eyes were wide open, and his eyes became blood red due to blood congestion, and there was a little blood spilling from the corner of his left eye.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but wipe away the teardrop-like blood with his fingers.

The bloodshot disappeared as soon as it was wiped, Xiao Mo withdrew his finger and suddenly shivered.

He found... the corner of the boy's mouth was grinning, as if he was smiling.

Xiao Mo took a look and quickly looked away. Except for those with special types of work, no one would keep staring at the face of a dead person, except for perverts.

When Xiao Mo got up, he subconsciously glanced at the young man again.

Yes, the boy was really laughing.

That expression is not so much pain as it is like being freed from some kind of shackles.

Xiao Mo looked at the panicked, tearful driver who caused the accident, feeling a little sad.

The driver looked like an honest man. The man in his 40s was crying with red eyes, and his hands were shaking because of fear.

Looking up at the monitoring equipment at the intersection, I thought that if the boy really ran into it by himself, there should be evidence left here.

Xiao Mo heard the siren.

He thought he would take the initiative to explain to the police all the behavior and language of the teenager in his store. Oh, fortunately, he has a video, so he doesn't have to worry about the police interrogating him endlessly.

Suddenly, Xiao Mo seemed to feel something, and looked up at the crowd watching.

I saw a small figure in the crowd looking at him expressionlessly.Seeing Xiao Mo cast his eyes on him, the child turned to look at the corpse of the boy lying on the ground.

Xiao Mo was surprisingly angry!What about his adults?Who let such a small child squeeze in?Is this scene for children? !

Xiao Mo wanted to catch the child, but the child turned around and disappeared.

Xiao Mo also squeezed out of the crowd, looked left and right but couldn't find the child, he had no choice but to sit down by the flower bed at the intersection as he didn't want to go back to the store.

========

There has been a long queue of passing vehicles.The three lanes on the left and right were blocked to death.No matter how the driver in front honks, the crowd blocking the intersection just refuses to let go.Occasionally someone gets out of the way, and new arrivals will immediately block the gap.

Xiao Mo couldn't say he was sad about the young man's death, he just felt it was a pity, and he still had a little regret.

If he had left the boy behind, or sold the watermelon knife to him, would the boy still be alive at this time?

No wonder so many people like time travel and yearn for rebirth.

Who doesn't want to correct past mistakes?

Who doesn't want to predict the life and death of their loved ones so that they can avoid it?

Who wouldn't want to turn a blemish into a glory, a sin into a good deed, and regain what was missed?

"Ah! Isn't this the child of Liu Wang's family? My God! How could this happen?" Someone recognized the child.

Immediately, someone contacted the child's parents, but it was strange that no one contacted for a long time.Those who are enthusiastic and know him have already taken the initiative to go to Liu Wang's house to find someone.

The traffic police and the ambulance arrived together, and the crowd finally began to evacuate.

Seeing the boy's body being taken away, Xiao Mo took the initiative to find the traffic police and explain how the boy came to his store.

A traffic policeman who looked to be around his age and had a different surname followed him back to the store to get the video he copied, and asked some more questions while waiting.

"Well, if that boy really has suicidal tendencies, then this matter may have to be transferred to the police station. Don't delete your video, maybe other colleagues will come to ask about your situation in the future." Police officer Guo explained, while being careful Carefully put the USB flash drive copied by Xiao Mo into the bag.

"I know, I won't delete it. The driver..." Xiao Mo saw a small head popping out from the stairs on the second floor.

The child glanced over here, saw that Xiao Mo was busy, then turned around and went back upstairs.

When did this dead child slip back?

Xiao Mo was still a little angry, and really wanted to bring the child over to teach him a lesson, but at the same time worried that the child would have nightmares every night after seeing the scene just now.

The police officer seemed completely unaware that there was another person in the store, so he replied to Xiao Mo: "That depends on whether the camera captured it clearly at the time, and we also need to find some witnesses. Someone died, and it was a child again. If his family members come out to make a fuss, even if it can be proved that the child ran a red light, this matter...is not so easy to deal with, and it will probably go to court in the end, and it depends on how the court decides."

The former police officer spoke very honestly and seemed very sincere.

"Ah!" Xiao Mo couldn't say anything other than sighing.Said the driver was unlucky?Isn't that just saying you're lucky in disguise?

"Thank you for your cooperation, and thank you for supporting our work, then I will take my leave first, and I will contact you when I have something to do, please keep your mobile phone unblocked." Officer Guo saluted him.

Xiao Mo hurriedly got up and said: "You should, you should, then you go slowly, you are welcome to visit my shop if you have the opportunity in the future."

"Hehe, okay, thank you."

After the police officer left, Xiao Mo was just about to close the door and go up to the second floor, when a group of neighbors who had been poking around the door squeezed in immediately, asking Xiao Mo if he knew anything, and some of them saw the boy entering before he was hit by a car. Xiao Mo's shop.

Xiao Mo glanced at the surveillance screen, and found that the child was sitting on the ground on the second floor, and seemed to be assembling something in his hands.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Mo hurried upstairs.He is not afraid of children playing with his things, but he is afraid of children getting hurt. There are many dangerous things on the second floor, and children have no adults to watch them. Once something happens in his shop, he will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

The neighbors who squeezed in made Xiao Mo busy with him, and six or seven people casually pulled over the folding chairs leaning against the corner, stood or sat, and chatted among themselves.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Mo moved closer to the child.

The child didn't look up, "Working part-time."

"Huh?" Why couldn't he understand what the kid was saying?

The child ignored him, and his small hands took out all kinds of normal or abnormal tools from the backpack that he carried with him, and assembled a Transformers alarm clock that was about to be formed in his hand extremely dexterously and skillfully.

"Okay, it's done! I don't have any suitable tools, so I can only install some simple ones for you, but they are definitely worth 50 yuan. Now can you give me that charger?" The child put the assembled Transformers Handing the alarm clock to Xiao Mo, he put away the tools and some extra parts, and got up from the ground by himself.As for the plastic case of the alarm clock, he threw it on the ground.

Xiao Mo didn't speak, and first took a closer look at the transforming alarm clock in his hand. If he read correctly, this transforming alarm clock is a combination of a Transformer that looks [-]% new but can no longer transform, and a most ordinary small alarm clock. made.

"This alarm clock can be transformed, and I don't have time to make it too complicated for you. When you make it into a human shape, the alarm clock can only be displayed on the chest, and when it is transformed into a car, it can be displayed on the top."

Xiao Mo fiddled with it a few times, and it really did exactly what the child said.

drink!Just a short time ago, the child transformed the Transformer, which was originally incapable of deformation, into one that not only can be transformed smoothly, but also has a clock function.

Prodigy?

Xiao Mo looked at the child.

The child's expression remained the same, and he even winked at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo felt that he was worrying in vain just now, this brat didn't look like he was affected, probably he was too young to understand what death meant?

Since the child was not affected, Xiao Mo didn't want to make him think about it, scratched his head, thought for three seconds, then put the deformed alarm clock on the shelf, without saying a word, just hugged the child to Go downstairs.

No matter what the kid's background is and what his plans are when he comes to his shop, now he can only take one step at a time.I hope it's not some despicable adults who want to use children to do something, if that's the case, he will never spare those people!

The stinky kid was very strange, he didn't even struggle when he was picked up, not only let Xiao Mo carry him down, but also put his arms around Xiao Mo's neck.

"Boss Xiao, whose child is this?" Seeing Xiao Mo carrying the child into the counter, the curious neighbor asked casually.

"A friend." Xiao Mo said vaguely.Turn on the computer game and pour a glass of water for the child.

The child closed the game page with contempt, first checked the computer configuration and various additional hardware and software devices, then opened the command box, and entered a lot of commands that Xiao Mo couldn't understand.

Xiao Mo sighed and let him go.Turning around and stepping out of the counter to deal with his curious neighbors.

The child's sense of existence seemed to be extremely weak. He was sitting there, but he didn't arouse the interest of the neighbors. As for the question the clothing store proprietress just asked, everyone stopped caring about the child and only asked the traffic police to Xiao Mo. What's going on in the store, do you know something.

In a few words, Xiao Mo explained clearly how the child went to his store to buy a watermelon knife but was rejected by him.

The neighbors were dissatisfied, and asked him some random questions, such as the child's expression at the time, the tone of his voice, and how he reacted when he refused to sell the knife. He was more like a criminal police than a criminal policeman.

Just when Xiao Mo couldn't bear these problems and wanted to chase her away, a girl from a barber shop in the neighborhood rang, and she ran out to answer the phone, and after a while, she ran in and shouted excitedly——

"It's terrible! Something big happened!"

"What's the matter?" Everyone asked curiously.

The kid continued to play with his computer without looking up.

Xiao Mo looked at these people with a bitter face, it seemed that he would not even think about doing business this afternoon.

"The child who was hit to death, his parents are also dead!"

"Ah?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Xiao Zhang, tell me what's going on?"

Xiao Mo was also shocked by the news.

"Didn't any of the people who watched the fun know the kid? I heard that the kid lives in Xinxin Jiayuan behind the park across the street from us. His father's name is Liu Wang. There is a machinery factory in the industrial park in front of us." Work. My mother’s surname is also Liu, and she works in the Haomeiduo supermarket in Xinxin Jiayuan.” The barber shop girl probably rarely gets so much attention, her face flushes with excitement, and her speech is amazingly fast.

"Xiao Zhang, speak slowly, don't use your hometown accent."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Xiao Zhang from a well-known tourist town in the south of the Yangtze River deliberately slowed down his speech, trying to speak clearly: "By the way, I heard from my friend that the child's grandparents are still alive, but don't follow me." They live together. Also, I heard that their house was demolished and divided into four houses, and they only sold one house a while ago, and the living conditions at home are pretty good."

listen!This information is fully collected.To be honest, Xiao Mo admires these three aunts, six wives, seven men and eight men, as long as you chat with them for a while, you will find that even the special investigators of the National Security Bureau are not as good as them.

"Xiao Zhang, don't just talk about their family's situation. Didn't you just say that his parents died too? What happened? How did his parents die?" This impatient person is the female owner of the milk tea shop.

Xiao Zhang swallowed, Xiao Mo thoughtfully took a glass of pure water and handed it to him.

Xiao Zhang took the water glass with a blushing face, and looked at Xiao Mo meaningfully.

Xiao Mo acted like a gentleman.

Xiao Zhou, the barber who came with Xiao Zhang, glared at Xiao Mo unhappily.Hmph, an old man, don't think that having a house and a car can make old cows eat tender grass!

"Hey, it's like this. Someone knew the child's family just now, but they couldn't contact his parents, so they ran directly to his house with the traffic police, but no one opened the door, and they looked for the child's grandparents. Don't dare to tell his grandpa. What happened to grandma, I only asked them to contact the parents of the child, but it was said that they could not get in touch, and then the grandparents of the child brought the keys to their house to open the door. Open the door..." Xiao Zhang began to whet everyone's appetite.

"Find out that his parents are dead?" The person who answered the call was the owner of the hardware store, a middle-aged man with a bald head, surnamed Yin.

Xiao Zhang was a little annoyed at first when someone answered the call, so it was fine if it was Boss Yin, but he still gave him a ginkgo eye.

"I heard from my friend that I didn't feel it through the door at that time, but when I opened the door, I smelled a strong stench. The police and traffic police who came at that time refused to let everyone in, and drove away everyone who followed. .”

"Just a bad smell? Didn't see any dead people? Then how can you be sure that someone died? Or are both husband and wife dead?" Xiao Mo interjected and asked.

Xiao Zhang saw that it was Xiao Mo who was asking the question, and his voice immediately softened three points, "My friend said that someone was guarding the door all the time, and later I heard the child's grandparents crying loudly inside the room, calling for their son, daughter-in-law and so on. I only guessed that the parents of the child should be dead."

"Do you know how he died?" Xiao Mo asked.Everyone is also very curious about this.

It's a pity, Xiao Zhang shook his head, "My friend hasn't found out yet. I heard that the corpse has not been shipped out yet. When he called me just now, the forensic doctor just arrived."

"Oh, what a crime, what a nice family." A young couple who opened a clothing store both sighed.

"That's right, why is it so good, the whole family is dead?"

"Let me tell you," the female owner of the milk tea shop lowered her voice mysteriously, "I heard that when the child was hit by a car, several people saw it, and some of them said that the child was hit on purpose."

"Really? How could you be so young..." Boss Yin didn't believe it.

"Do you think it will be..." Everyone made several guesses in one breath.

"No way? These speculations are too bloody!" Xiao Zhang refused to accept this statement.

"What is impossible? Is there anything impossible in this society now?"

Everyone was chattering, each guessing the real reason for the death of three members of this family.

Xiao Mo has not spoken since the question just now, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the abnormal red eyes of the child.

Finally, the neighbors who had enough gossip left contentedly, and Xiao Mo didn't have the energy to continue the business, so he closed the store directly.

He felt very sorry for the middle school student and his family, but they were not related to him after all, so he let it go with a few sighs.

The others also had the same thought as Xiao Mo, thinking that this matter was over like this, they never thought that this was just a signal, a beginning...

"What should come will always come, and you can't escape even if you want to."

"What?" Xiao Mo closed the shutter door and turned around.Was that what the child said just now?

"Brother, I've changed my mind. How about adopting me? I'm very capable." The child poked his head out from behind the computer screen.

"..."

================

At the same time, the third floor of a residential building in Xinxin Jiayuan.

Originally planning to contact the parents of the child who was hit, the traffic police who dealt with the traffic accident were all withdrawn and replaced by criminal police with live ammunition.

"The special transport vehicle will arrive later. According to your instructions, six special police officers will escort the vehicle." Wang Cheng walked to the forensic doctor Qian Yunkai and said in a low voice.

Qian Yunkai frowned like Chuanzi, and forbade other criminal policemen from approaching the two tied up in the bedroom.

"What's the matter with Liu Wang and his wife? They look like... do they have some kind of infectious disease?" Wang Cheng, who was wearing a mask, went around and couldn't help asking Qian Yunkai.

"do not know."

"You are the most powerful forensic doctor in our city, don't you know?"

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of disease." Qian Yunkai tentatively stepped forward to take pictures of the couple.

The flash went off, causing the couple to struggle.

"Heh, this is pretty tight, although the technique is unprofessional. Yunkai, who do you think this couple was tied to a chair and gagged?"

"His son." Qian Yunkai calculated that it was almost time, put down the camera, and turned to look at the test results he had just done.

Wang Cheng was startled, "How do you know?"

"Guess."

"..." Wang Cheng rubbed his covered nose, not daring to tease Qian Daforensic doctor any more, and instead carefully looked at the bound Liu couple.

I saw that the two people were swollen all over, like a corpse soaked in water for three days. If Liu Wang's parents hadn't identified the swollen body, no one would be sure that this couple was really Liu Wang and his wife.

If it was just swollen, it might not be called terrible, and it wouldn't make Qian Da's forensic doctor frown like that.

In addition to swelling on the surface of the couple's body, huge yellow pustules appeared on the skin.

Most of these pustules were located on the lower body, but some developed on the abdomen and back.

The pustules haven't broken yet, which is why the criminal police and the forensic doctor dare to stand in this house.

But the stench coming from the two of them was already similar to that of a dead person who had been dead for a few days. If the air conditioner hadn't been turned on in the room, the weather in mid-June would definitely have spilled outside.

The couple were strapped back to back to two armchairs.

Judging from the strangle marks on their bodies, they have been bound for at least a day or so.

According to Qian Da's forensic doctor, there were not many signs of struggle and friction on the couple's bodies, and the binding should have been performed voluntarily.

Just why gag?Are you afraid they will call for help?But if he was bound voluntarily, why did he call for help?If he called for help, how could he be tied up voluntarily?

Doubt [-], why didn't they send them to the hospital like this?Where are the people who bound them?Is it really their son?The teenager who didn't know whether he committed suicide or was hit to death?Does that boy know anything?

Question [-]: Why didn't Qian Da's forensic doctor let him remove the blockage in the mouths of Mrs. Liu and his wife?Maybe all the answers are in the mouths of husband and wife.

Wang Cheng was puzzled and could only wait silently with his colleagues for the arrival of the special transport vehicle.

"Wang Dui, do you feel that the room is getting more and more stinky? Can we go out and wait?" Interpol Xiaolei covered his nose.

Before Wang Cheng answered, Qian Yunkai raised his head when he heard the question, "No! Those who have already entered are not allowed to go out! Xiao Chen, call the disease center and ask them to send two closed cars. Hurry up." !"

Assistant Xiao Chen was frightened, and quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

The other detectives were also taken aback, especially Xiaolei, whose expression changed at the time, "Forensic Doctor Qian, don't scare me, what disease do these two people have? We won't be infected too, right?"

Qian Yunkai didn't answer, but just nervously stared at the simple detection tool in his hand, waiting for the result to appear.

The result came out, Qian Yunkai looked at it for a while, then slowly closed his eyes...

"Yun Kai?" Wang Cheng took a step closer to him.

Qian Yunkai took a deep breath and opened his eyes, "You can inform the special transport vehicle and the special police not to come."

Wang Cheng frowned, listening to Yun Kai's tone, he didn't think it was a good thing, on the contrary...

Qian Yunkai turned to all the criminal policemen present and his assistant, Xiao Chen, and said, "My test told me that the Lius and his wife should be suffering from metal poisoning, but you have also seen that, except for the fact that the oral cavity cannot be checked for the time being, the couple is now suffering from metal poisoning. The pathological features shown on the body are very different from those of metal poisoning. And the results of my test show that the metal content in the bodies of the couple has already exceeded the standard. No, it should be said that any ordinary human body contains such a large amount and such a variety of metal poisoning. Metal should have died seven or eight times long ago."

After listening to Qian Yunkai's explanation, instead of being nervous, everyone let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just metal poisoning, and it was okay.Only Wang Cheng looked at Qian Yunkai frowning, waiting for his next words.

"But……"

Wang Cheng looked at the sky, thinking that I knew you would have a big turning point.

"I hate it." An older detective murmured.

"Me too." Xiaolei said with a sad face.

Everyone nodded with sympathy.

But what should be said is still to be said, Qian Yunkai looked around at the six colleagues who were staying in the room, and said very apologetically: "I just did a test for myself just now."

Wang Cheng and all his colleagues felt a sense of fear.

"Unfortunately, in this short period of one hour, the metal content in my body also exceeded the standard." Sighing, Qian Yunkai continued: "Although it has not reached the level in the body of a couple, it is not something that healthy people can have. Yes. And I can say with certainty that an hour ago, the metal content in my body was absolutely at a reasonable value."

The assistant Xiao Chen asked Qian Yunkai with his mobile phone, "Mr. Qian, Director Qian of the Disease Center wants to talk to you personally."

Qian Yun paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, "Give me the phone. Also, Xiao Chen, please do a simple metal content test for everyone."

"Yes." Xiao Chen conducted a metal content test for the criminal police, including himself, while Qian Yunkai explained the situation of the Liu couple and his judgment with the department head of the disease center.

In the end, the test results came out, and as Qian Yunkai expected, the metal content of all the people present exceeded the standard.

Qian Yunkai was silent for a while, and then said to the person on the other side of the phone: "It is suspected that there are at least two ways of infection, contact infection, and airborne transmission."

A gasped voice came from the other side of the phone, "Are you sure the air can also spread?"

"We had a total of eight colleagues here, two of whom were guarding outside the house and six of them inside. Only Xiao Chen and I came into contact with Mrs. Liu and his wife, but according to the test results so far, the other four colleagues who have not come into contact with the patient There was also metal poisoning.”

"..." The other side was silent.

"So now I suggest," Qian Yunkai said slowly, "Immediately send someone to test all the residents of Xinxinjiayuan Building [-], Liu's parents, and randomly check one hundred other residents of Xinxinjiayuan. As far as the scope of the virus spreads, the whole territory of the area shall be closed and isolated until we find out the cause of the disease, the source of infection, and the treatment method.”

"Okay, I will send out immediately..."

"It's broken!" Qian Yunkai's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and said anxiously to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, you should immediately have the young man's body under control, just say what I asked, and let the morgue be sealed for storage. And all colleagues who have been in contact with the juvenile are temporarily isolated, don't tell them the reason."

Wang Cheng's face also became very ugly, "But apart from people from our lineage, there were quite a few ordinary people who came into contact with young people at that time."

Qian Yunkai squeezed the palm of his hand tightly, took the mobile phone and hurriedly explained to the opposite party about the boy who was killed, focusing on the relationship between the boy and the Liu couple, as well as the boy's strange behavior.

Wang Cheng was also busy calling the bureau, and this matter became more and more troublesome.

After Qian Yunkai explained the boy's affairs, he hesitated for nearly ten seconds before saying, "I personally suggest that the incident be upgraded to a red alert."

"Red? This... I need to have a meeting with the relevant personnel first."

"Dad, I can't wait for this!"

"I know, give me 5 minutes. You can send the test results to a computer immediately. The more detailed the data, the better."

"learn!"

Hearing Qian Yunkai spit out the words "red alert", everyone present knew that trouble was serious!

the other side--

After brewing and brewing, Xiao Mo, who was about to ask the child about his details, suddenly shuddered.

The child looked up at him.

"It seems a little cold, maybe the air conditioner is turned too low."

"Cold? Don't you think summer came early this year, and it's hotter than usual? It's only June and it's 36 or [-] degrees!"

"Hiss, but I really feel cold, you can see my goosebumps popping out."

The child poked the small particles that emerged from the surface of the skin with his hand, and pinched them with his little fingernails.

"Hey, hey! Let me show you but I didn't ask you to pinch it. You don't hurt, I hurt!" Xiao Mo lifted the little paw that didn't know how heavy it was, and rubbed his arms to increase the temperature of the air conditioner.

The child tilted his head, rubbed his fingers, put them under his nose and sniffed again, his face was a bit puzzled, and he looked at Xiao Mo's back with an indescribably strange gaze. Suddenly, the child's With a raised brow, he ordered:

"Hey, let me see your eyes!"

=====

15:03 Zhougang Station, Suburb of Zhongshan City

Zhougang Station in the suburb of Zhongshan City is only two stops away from Ninggu Garden Station at the end of Ninggu Avenue.

The residential area around Ninggu Avenue belongs to the newly developed suburbs of the city in recent years. It is far away from the city center. After leaving the city, there are self-built houses in various villages for a long distance. Some villages have even been developed into After visiting tourist attractions, they set up some farmhouses to attract customers.

This Zhougang Village is well-known in the city for the well-preserved Ming and Qing ancient buildings in the mountain nest. There are also many tourists who come to visit all the year round, but most of them are from Zhongshan City.

Under the newly-built bus station pavilion, a young man and woman with only two backpacks sat on a simple bench. You kissed me and I kissed you, completely forgetting the people around them, sinking into the space of only two people. in the world.

At the other end of the bench was an elderly couple in their 60s. Among them, the more fashionable old lady glanced up at the young men and women, with disapproval expressions on her face.

The husband probably saw his wife's disgust, patted the back of her hand and said, "From the city."

"These young people are becoming more and more shameless now." The old lady reprimanded in a low voice, and then complained: "Why hasn't the car come yet?"

The old man reassured her, "We'll be there soon, wait a little longer." After a pause, the old man looked a little uneasy, and tentatively said to his wife, "Say... let's go to the younger son's place suddenly, shall we?"

"What's wrong?" The old lady rolled her eyes, "Isn't it natural for parents to go to their son's place for dinner? Could they still drive us out?"

"I haven't seen you for almost ten years..." The old man smiled wryly.

The old lady grasped the brightly colored canvas bag tightly in her hand, and after a while she said to her wife: "Let's talk about it this time. I used to worry about the boss's side. Now the boss is finally married, and the youngest child is almost ten years old. , if there is any resentment between the two brothers, I think they can almost let it go."

"I'm afraid that the youngest doesn't hate the boss, but us." The old man sighed and coughed lightly.

"Hate us? What do you hate us for? That woman was talking to the boss at the beginning. How could she, a woman in her late thirties, have the nerve to seduce the youngest of our family? That woman is six years older than the youngest! The youngest is blind too, and I will fall in love with that kind of old woman. Huh, the boss is also a fool, and he also fell in love with that woman. What's so good about that woman? The two brothers made such a mess!" The old lady happened to see the girl next to him doing something to the boy. He made an indecent move, and immediately threw the canvas bag on his lap in anger.

The old man coughed several times, looked at his wife, and couldn't help worrying, how could he go to his youngest son with such a mentality?This is not to find a fight.well!

"Actually, if we hadn't obstructed it at the beginning, so many things wouldn't have happened later...cough cough cough!" The old man coughed violently.

"What's the matter with you?" The old lady frowned and leaned over to look at her wife.

The old man waved his hand and said it was all right.

"puff!"

"Wow! Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?" There was a sharp exclamation from the side, and the young girl stood up with blood on her face, looking at her boyfriend in horror, and even forgot to wipe off the blood that was sprayed on her face.

The young man in his early twenties clutched his chest, watching the girl want to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood couldn't stop spitting out.

"Come here! Help! Xiaohua, Xiaohua, don't scare me!" The girl burst into tears with a "wow" in fright.

The old man stood up, but the old lady grabbed him and prevented him from passing.

Just at this time, a bus slowly drove into the platform.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Xiao Mo turned up the temperature, bent down and asked the child.

The child said to him very seriously: "You have to see it to know."

Xiao Mo smiled, and grabbed the child's hand, "Okay, don't be naughty. We're going home from work early today, and we just don't have any food at home. We'll go to the vegetable market to add some later. Quickly, turn off the computer. Yes Now, what's your name?"

"My name is Xue Lihong." The child shut down the computer as he said, and jumped off the chair.

"Xue Lihong?"

The child despised him, "No, it's Xuelihong." As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and wrote his name for him.

"Is this the real name?" Xiao Mo didn't believe it.

Xiao Mo thought for a while, rubbed the child's head, and said with a smile: "Yes, but before that, you have to go to the police station with me."

"Must we go?" The child raised his head.

"must go."

"Well, if this reassures you." The child shrugged, indifferently.

Xiao Mo secretly exhaled, this child is indeed different from ordinary children, but this is not the reason why he is willing to adopt him for a period of time, he just simply does not want to see the child living on the street, and finally being used by some criminal organization.

Regardless of the child's real identity, first leave a file at the police station. On the one hand, it will be easier to find the child's biological parents.These days there are a lot of good intentions being treated as bad guys.

So far Xiao Mo still doesn't think the child is really an orphan, and he doesn't plan to adopt the child.In his opinion, anyway, he is not short of food for the children, and there is room for the children at home. The most important thing is that he does not
