Temporary Bodyguard

Di Chen was sobbing while listening.

The bitter story suddenly turned into a martial arts movie. The host's face was visibly distorted for a moment, and he changed the subject abruptly: "Our film crew found the mountain village where you were trafficked before. Do you want to see it?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gao Yusheng to agree, a new picture was displayed on the big screen, accompanied by a low-pitched standard commentary and just the right background sound, bringing the atmosphere back.

The beautiful mountains, shaded by green trees, gurgling water, can't be seen at a glance.

Explanation: "According to the description of the help-seeker and the investigation and interview, we roughly determined that the mountain village was in T county in the northern part of S province."

The program team really worked hard to find the town closest to the village.This is all based on Gao Yusheng's memory. He remembered that there were tourists from other places in that town, and there was a huge stone tablet.This small town is about [-] kilometers away from that village, but it is impossible to test which village it is.

The camera took pictures of the town and the surrounding scenery, and also found two children to reproduce the scenes of the story in a vague way.

Commentary: "Xiao Gao was abducted here back then. His adoptive father was afraid that he would escape, so he tied him with a dog rope to the yard when he was working in the field during the day. My elder brother is the neighbor next door, and he has been abducted for many years. Look at it, let the two children who share the same disease form an indissoluble bond."

The two children in the picture are holding hands and running in the fields.The black-and-white background shot flashes over dilapidated bungalows, uneven fences, and hemp ropes dangling from trees.

"You are a child in the city. When you were young, your family should have been in good condition, right?" Of course the host knew that this was the young master of Jiuyi Group, but for the sake of the show, he still had to pretend not to know Mr. Gao, the person who asked for help.When the show is broadcast, the audience who know the truth in front of the TV can't help shouting: That's pretty good!

"Fortunately, an ordinary family." Gao Yusheng said without changing his expression.

"...Life in the village must be very hard, right?"

"At first, they were afraid that I would run away, so they wouldn't let me go out. Later, my brother took them with me. My brother took me to catch shrimps, touch fish, and collect bird eggs. I don't feel bitter when I am with my brother." Although I lack food and clothing , but those pleasures are also real.The journey from the train to the mountain village was a nightmare, but from the moment I saw my brother, the nightmare was over.

"I heard that it is very poor there, and the salt needs to be exchanged in the town with eggs. Is it to subsidize the family by picking up bird eggs?" The host tried hard to portray Mr. Gao as a sensible and pitiful little cabbage.

"Eat." Gao Yusheng glanced at the host inexplicably.It is said that they are poor, but they are not so poor that they cannot afford salt. Otherwise, where would they get the money to buy children?

"..."

The lyrical background music is still going on, and we can't continue talking today.Zhai Chen silently found a corner and squatted up, but he couldn't see it.

Gao Yusheng turned his head, and when Zhai Chen disappeared, his eyes lit up undetectably.Last night, he vaguely heard the phone call Di Chen answered in the second bedroom: "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow."

Tomorrow, definitely, where are you going?

Originally, he didn't expect the program team to find Zhai Chen, but if he did, then the elder brother kept evasively refusing to admit it, just to surprise him!

Gao Yusheng looked at the electronic screen at the other end of the stage. The screen itself was also a door.If you find it, that person will come out from behind the screen and have a touching meeting with the person seeking help.Suddenly I lost patience with the following links.

When the host saw that the help-seeker wanted to jump directly to the door-opening link, of course it was not allowed, so he quickly continued the topic: "Did my brother escape with you later? You are so young, how did you escape?"

The mountain roads are tortuous, and there is often only one road leading to the outside world in that kind of mountain village.Let alone children, it is difficult for adult women who have been trafficked to escape, and it is easy to meet people in the village.And in that kind of backward place, people have long been accustomed to buying and selling children, and no one will call the police for these two children because they feel sorry for them, and will only send back the children who ran away.

"My brother carried me for a long time, and hid in a truck and fled to the county seat." Gao Yusheng succinctly omitted the difficult process.That is a task that is impossible for ordinary children to complete. Talking too much will expose the specialness of my brother.

This is probably the most boring family-hunting show in history. There is no heart-piercing cry, no thrilling escape, and nothing to watch except for the handsome face of the helper.

"Later, you were rescued by the public security organs, you went home, and your brother went to an orphanage," the host continued to save the ratings with the information, "What's his name?"

"I don't know his original name. I always call him Brother Xing Xing." And that old name, my brother never mentioned it again, and Gao Yusheng couldn't remember it either.

The host tried to dig out Gao Yusheng's purpose of looking for his brother: "Without him, you would probably still be in the mountain village and forget your original home."

The help-seeker in front of him, Mr. Gao, is handsome and decent, full of the atmosphere of a high-class person.If there was no brother Xing Xing, he would definitely not look like this now.Probably in that small mountain village, facing the loess and back to the sky, with rough skin, chapped hands and feet, wasting a lifetime ignorant and hopeless.

"Looking for him, to thank him?"

No matter how you answer this question, you can't go wrong.The host is sure, and this time he must make the audience cry.The most true and beautiful friendship in the world is gratitude. A sentence of "thank you" across thousands of mountains and rivers is worth a long speech of [-] words.

Gao Yusheng lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, and slowly shook his head: "Find him and ask him why he abandoned me."

The completely unreasonable words shocked both the host and the audience.Zhai Chen who was squatting in the corner frowned fiercely.

The music in the field changed rapidly, and finally it was time to witness the miracle.The host raised his hand and asked Gao Yusheng to open the door: "If you find him, he's over there."

Gao Yusheng stood up and buttoned his suit slowly.The mountain scenery is played in a loop on the big screen. The days of suffering and happiness are long gone, but the memories of childhood are as fresh as yesterday.

Following his footsteps, the camera zoomed in little by little, and the short passage of more than ten meters seemed to have traveled for a century.When faced with it, the previous certainty suddenly became uncertain again.

What if the person on the other side of the door is not Di Chen?

What if the elder brother doesn't want to recognize him?

What if, to my brother, he is just a childhood friend and nothing special?

The door made up of electronic screens opened slowly, and the light of the spotlights came out from the crack of the door, so bright that people couldn't see clearly.Everyone held their breaths, looking forward to the kind and brave brother Xing Xing who suffered a lot of ill-fated fate.

The door was opened to the maximum, the smoke and dust under the spotlight dissipated, and the inside was empty.The audience booed involuntarily, and Gao Yusheng, who was standing on the stage, was also a little confused.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't find it," the outfield host was displayed on the big screen, "but we also found a lot of clues. It's not blood relatives. We can't find relevant information from the lost children database, so we can only ask the public security organs for help."

According to the records of the Central District Public Security Bureau at that time, because the Gao family had reported the crime, the two children were sent back to the city soon after they asked the police for help.Gao Yusheng was taken home by her mother, and Brother Xingxing entered the orphanage in the central area.

"The little brother's name registered in the data is "Xing Xing". There is no surname, and his age is also an approximate number." The outfield host showed the old data found to the camera.

[Xing Xing, male, age 12~13, parents unknown, place of birth unknown]

Brother Xing Xing does not belong to any case of missing children, his biological parents cannot be found, and he cannot be identified as an orphan, so he temporarily lives in an orphanage.

"He is not an orphan and cannot be adopted. He was fostered at the home of a lady surnamed Ye at the time, but he was retired not long after and returned to the orphanage. Later, he was taken away by the police, saying that he had found his parents. There is no news." This is all the clues the program team found, and everything stopped at the moment when the police took him away.

Ms. Ye is Gao Yusheng's mother, Ye Rong.

The screen gradually went black, and Gao Yusheng stood on the stage for a long time.

The host walked up to him and said comfortingly: "Don't be discouraged, at least you already know that my brother has biological parents, and he should be doing well now. This program will be seen by people all over the country, and maybe my brother will also watch it. Have you anything to say to him?"

Gao Yusheng didn't seem to hear it, and looked for Zhai Chen in the audience with scattered eyes. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find him, and then looked up at the camera.

"I started a company and made a map that I used to hope I could find you."

He didn't say what the map was, but everyone knew it.

"Our map has turned on the object-finding mode. Anyone who loses something can publish the revelation in real time, and the people around can help find it. If a child is lost, it can also be released in real time..." Talking, inexplicable Advertisement started.

The host tried to interrupt him, but the director stopped him aloud.This is a new public welfare project of Punctuation Map. Relying on the technical support of "Xundian", everyone can post information for help, completely free of charge.

After the recording was over, Gao Yusheng took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm, and walked slowly out of the studio.

"Your family-finding show also has commercials." Zhai Chen appeared out of nowhere, and carried him on the shoulder with a smile.Let's just say that this guy clearly recognized him, so why did he still appear on the family-hunting show? It turned out to be a commercial project.

Gao Yusheng didn't respond, and walked out with lowered eyes, not wanting to talk to him.I have already said what I can say and what I can't say through the program, but this person is still indifferent.Is it really self-indulgent? For 15 years, I was the only one who cared about my brother unilaterally.

Zhai Chen was a little surprised to see his depressed face, so he couldn't help asking: "You are so old, why do you want him?"

Gao Yusheng stopped in his tracks and took a slow breath: "Just treat me as a lack of love, you're kidding me."

Zhai Chen was stunned for a moment, and reached out to grab the kid who turned around and said, "Heavenly gift."
