Help each other with "silence"

Chapter 78:

one year later.

At night in New York, the whiteness falling from the sky was dyed in chaotic colors by the neon lights of high-rise buildings. Father Shen was sitting in a room in a high-rise building shaking his legs with an anxious expression on his face.

Mo Mo, who woke up a month ago, felt much better, so he insisted on picking up the design again. After a month of repairs, he has been at work for a week now, and he still has to go to Su Yan every night for daily work. Examination and nursing, now the clock is pointing to [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, the silence that can return around [-] o'clock on weekdays, has not come back yet, and no one answers the two calls. Father Shen, who has been off work from the police station for a long time, waits Be full of anxiety.

No, something happened.

Father Shen stood up abruptly, took the coat key and went out, standing at the elevator entrance, his brows and eyes were wrinkled.

"Ding——" the elevator door opened, and just as Father Shen was about to go in, he looked up and saw the silence staring at him in shock. He was stunned and breathed a sigh of relief: "You girl, where have you been, sir Dad will be worried to death."

Silence in the elevator looked much better than a year ago. Although she was still pale, she didn't look sick. She was wearing a smart black suit, and she took off her outer coat. What, wrapped in a coat.

Like, a child.

Shen Mo frowned, with some hesitation on his face, Shen's father heaved a sigh of relief, looked at her expression, then looked at her arms, raised his eyebrows, didn't say much, and went back to the room with Shen Mo.

Father Shen looked at Shen Mo's cheeks that were a little flushed from the cold, turned up the heater, watched her sit on the sofa, but did not let go of the things in his arms, he was stunned, sat opposite her, and said, "What's the matter?" ? What are you holding?"

Shen Mo let go of his arms slightly, and Father Shen leaned over, only then did he see clearly that it was not something, but a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

Although her face is still immature, she can still see her beautiful appearance when she grows up. However, on that immature face, the opened blue eyes are full of timidity and fear. Looking at Shen's father's eyes dodging and being afraid.

"Girl...this..." Father Shen sat back and looked at Shen Mo, hoping she would give him an explanation.

Shen Mo looked at the little girl in his arms, frowning, with a hesitant expression.

At around 09:30 in the evening, Shen Mo just got out of the car. When she walked to the neighborhood, she heard the sound of her body hitting the ground in the darkness, and there was a slight thump. She had just returned from the hospital. , After the treatment, my body is still a little weak and tired. I didn't want to take care of it, but I couldn't help my heart.

She walked over cautiously, and through the light of her mobile phone, she saw the child lying beside a car in ragged clothes.

About six or seven years old, because the sky was too dark to see her face clearly, she got closer, and the light of the flashlight hit the little girl's body, revealing scars one after another under the broken clothes, She frowned and stretched out her hand, but the little girl stared at her with wide blue eyes, her face full of fear, and she couldn't stop murmuring "Mommy".

Silence squatted down, frowning.

This child seems to have been abused.

She watched her curled up aside, looking at her timid appearance tremblingly, couldn't bear it, got up and took off her coat, held it in her hand, handed it to her, and said in gentle English: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, wear this."

The little girl shook her golden head, looked at Shen Mo, her eyes were still full of fear, she didn't move for a long time, but she didn't move, Shen Mo kept squatting down to pass the clothes, and looked at her softly.

Perhaps it was because the tenderness and kindness in those amber eyes were too warm, the little girl took the coat and put it on her body, silently watching her put on the coat and standing in front of him, looking at him, although her face was full of timidity , but also lost a lot of fear, smiled, and said softly: "Why are you here, where are your parents?"

The little girl tilted her head, and there was a red swelling on her forehead that seemed to have hit something. She looked at the silence, her small body trembling in the cold wind, and there was silence for a long time. The little girl timidly said: "Dad... Mom ...is gone..."

Shen Mo listened to her words, frowning even tighter.

"Yes, do you want to go to my house? I'll help you find, Mom and Dad." Mo Mo said softly, with some hesitation in her eyes, she pointed to herself.

She was worried that this little girl would not follow her trustingly, but she didn't have such experience, so she felt a little powerless.

However, to her surprise, the little girl looked at herself timidly, then nodded.Silently, he smiled, opened his arms, and said in a gentle voice, "I'll take you, shall I?"

The little girl took a step back in fright when she saw Shen Mo opening her arms. Hearing what she said, she looked at the coat on her body, felt the warmth of the coat rising from her body, nodded timidly, and walked up to the door. Going forward, he hugged Shen Mo's neck weakly, and through the street lamp, the white arm with his coat exposed was also covered with scars.A hint of anger flashed in her eyes, and she gently hugged the little girl.

She was worried about Shen's father and Su Yan's thoughts all the way, so she lingered at the door for a while, but she and the little girl who were dressed thinly couldn't bear the cold, so they went back.

That's why she came back so late.

And along the way, the little girl was holding on to the skirt of her clothes tightly, and she would not let go, and she couldn't put her down, so she went into the house and sat on the sofa, and could only maintain the posture of hugging her, and at the same time Father Shen finished the matter.

Father Shen glanced at the little girl in Shen Mo's arms, and frowned.

He cleared his throat, and said in a soft magnetic voice, "Little friend, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Looking at his father's appearance silently, Amber flashed a smile.

She lowered her eyes to look at the little girl in her arms, those azure eyes were still trembling, when she heard Father Shen speak, she clenched her hand tightly, but when she heard the food, she turned her head again, Hiding in his arms, he secretly glanced at himself.

She froze for a moment, wondering if the child was asking for her own opinion.She looked at her, with a mentality of giving it a try, smiled and nodded.

Seeing her movements, the little girl turned her head to look at Shen's father. Although she still looked timid, she still responded softly and nodded.

Father Shen smiled at the unknown meaning of silence, then got up and went to the kitchen, looked at the person in his arms silently, thought for a while, and said: "The wound on your body needs medicine, first, let you down, okay?" ?”

Shen Mo and Father Shen both knew it well, felt that the child must have been abused, and they didn't trust others at all, so it was inappropriate to ask questions now, so they had to calm down her fear first, before they could speak out.

Maybe it was because those amber eyes that she had never seen before were too gentle, the little girl shook her body and nodded slightly.

Shen Mo smiled softly, got up and put her on the sofa, she watched the hand holding her skirt reluctantly let go, and narrowed her eyes.

Mo Mo turned around to go to the room to get the medicine box, but just as she took a step, the clothes behind her were grabbed by a small hand, she was stunned, and she turned her head to look at the little girl who was looking up at her, her eyes dodging, her heart ached.

Are you afraid that you will abandon her?

Silence tried to soften herself up, she smiled, squatted down, raised her hand to gently rub her blond hair, and said, "I'll go, get something, come back soon."

The little girl understood her words, bit her lip, but still curled up, unwilling to let go.

Shen Mo sighed in his heart, took her little hand, and led her to the room together: "Then, let's go together."

"En!" The little girl looked up at the silent side face, the timidity in her blue eyes dissipated a lot, she looked at her, squinted her eyes suddenly, and a childish and bright smile burst out on her face.Shen Mo listened to her answer much louder than before, and saw this smile with lowered eyes, his eyes trembled suddenly, and the heart that had been sleeping and frozen for a year suddenly felt warm.

very warm.

Silence looked at her, and for some reason, she also chuckled aloud, she led the little girl to the bedroom, took out the medicine box, until the little girl sat on the edge of the bed, both of them were holding hands.

Like, a mother and daughter.

Mo Mo gave the little girl medicine while feeling pain in his heart.

The little girl has many small scars, but they are all covered by the clothes, new and old, all over the body.

She moved her hands gently, but in her heart was mixed with anger and unbearable.

I don't know who would do such a thing to such a child.

After taking the medicine, Shen's father's meal was ready, Shen Mo took the little girl out of the room again, sat aside and watched her eat carefully, and gave Shen's father a look.

Father Shen nodded understandingly, and looked at the little girl.

She had already changed into silent clothes, but because they were too big, she could only roll up the sleeves and trouser legs first. With the rolled up sleeves, there were mottled scars on the exposed small delicate arms.

Father Shen lowered his eyes, which were also stained with anger.

This year, besides guarding silence and Su Yan, he also took the position of investigator of a nearby police station under the introduction of Gu Mo. Recently, he also heard some reports that a certain children's adoption center abused children, but they all The ambiguous testimony is also untenable.

Now it seems that we have to investigate carefully.

After the little girl finished eating, she fell into silence again. Father Shen looked at his daughter who was unable to move because of the little girl's hands, turned his head and laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

Mo Mo glanced at him, embraced the little girl, looked at her eyes that were about to close, thought that she might be sleepy, carried her to the bedroom, and because she was clutching his clothes, he went with her Lying on the bed, she fell asleep in a short while, Shen Mo took her hand away, closed the door and left the bedroom.

When going out, Su Yan also came back.

A few people discussed it and took care of it for the time being. Calling the police rashly would also scare her. Ask for some information first, and then make plans.

In this way, a timid little girl was added to the small family of three people. At the beginning, she went to work in silence. The little girl was no longer afraid of him, and after Silence left, she was able to stop crying.

After about a month, the little girl's mood stabilized a lot, and several people gradually asked for some news during this period.

The little girl has no name, she seems to have been abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and was adopted by an orphanage, but the orphanage that adopted her treated the children badly, and often abused and beat them, even in places that could be covered by clothes, so it was very painful. Few people found out.This little girl is also smart, and planned with a few friends who had been staying together, and then escaped in the dark. The wound on her forehead was hit when she escaped.

Father Shen led the police team to follow the testimonies and searched, and they found the orphanage, and it was all over.

However, since this little girl has no identity and has been physically and mentally abused, it is not good for her to be handed over to the orphanage. Originally, Shen's father planned to find a good family and adopt her.

This month, he can also see that the little girl has completely trusted in Silence, and almost relied on her.

Maybe it was because she was afraid of being abandoned again. She was very well-behaved in everything, not self-willed, and never made a fuss. Once she had appendicitis and had a stomachache, but she was being treated for illness because of Shen Mo, so she endured it by herself. Yes, I still don't know.

However, in fact, the further he got to the back, the deeper the relationship. He found that besides the little girl, he couldn't live without Silence, and more, maybe Silence couldn't live without her.

The boring course of treatment, the daily life without any color, without the silence of Gu Yimo, the body and mind have no color.

Only indifference remains.

However, this little girl gave her warmth and a smile.

gave her redemption.

About two months later, they still haven't found a family willing to adopt the little girl. Both Shen's father and father can see that Shen Mo has the idea of ​​adopting her, but they are still hesitating.

She was afraid, even her own body looked like this, she needed someone to take care of her, how could she take care of a child.

But in fact, from Shen's father's point of view, the little girl might still be able to take care of Shen Mo.

She always raises her little hand to touch her head when she is staring at Gu Yimo's photos in a daze, saying, don't cry.

However, there were clearly no tears on her face.

She can read silent hearts.

When they become mother and daughter, perhaps it is not Shen Mo who takes care of her, nor is she taking care of Shen Mo.

Instead, support each other and warm each other.

About half a year after meeting the little girl, Shen Mo finally decided to adopt the child. As for the procedures and identity, Shen's father could easily handle it.

Mo Mo named the little girl: Shen Xi.
