In the dark, the wind was bitingly cold.The wound on his head was no longer bleeding, and he was lying on the snow, the viscous liquid on his face exuded a faint iron smell, almost dried up.He moved his fingers and crawled two steps forward with difficulty. The severe pain in his leg made him give up trying to survive.

He knew how barren and desolate this place was. The nearest house was at least three kilometers away. It was freezing cold and in the middle of the night. No one would go out and run so far, let alone come to rescue him.And he was injured, and he had been unconscious for an unknown period of time in the snow. His leg seemed to be broken, and he couldn't tell where the pain was from all over his body, and his mobile phone was also taken away.Maybe today is really the time for his life to end.

Looking back on the past, mediocrity, inaction, I used to think that the world is drunk and I am alone, but now I realize that his dreams, his ambitions, and his enthusiasm are all so naive and ridiculous.Not being understood is not the most painful thing. The painful thing is that the people you think you can dedicate your life and future to help will betray you without hesitation because of stupid greed.

Just as his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he drowsily recalled various small fragments of his life, a voice in the snow was getting closer.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

A person walked to his side quickly and steadily, and supported his upper body with warm and strong palms.

……

"Di-di-di-di-"

The ripples of the electrocardiogram appeared one after another, and the peculiar smell of disinfectant in the hospital filled the tip of his nose. When he opened his eyes, he was still a little confused. He struggled subconsciously, and immediately felt pain everywhere in his body.His head was wrapped in gauze, the back of his hand was tied with hanging needles, and one leg was hung up with a plaster cast. The ward was very quiet, and there was no one else but him, but the beeper was thoughtfully placed at hand.

He pressed the beeper, and soon several doctors and nurses came in. After a basic examination, the doctor told him about the injury, but he didn't pay attention to it, and kept his eyes on the station. A man by the door.

He has short hair, dark complexion, and straight eyebrows. He looks about 30 years old, with shallow crow's feet around his eyes and an inconspicuous scar on his face.He was very tall, leaning against the wall, his head almost at the same height as the top of the door frame.In winter, he was dressed very thinly. He wore a black woolen jacket over his shirt, and the collar of the shirt was still open, as if he couldn't feel the low temperature outside.He looked stern, but there was an indescribable warmth in his eyes. When his eyes met, he even smiled, feeling like a family member.

But the person lying on the hospital bed couldn't laugh, and even dodged his eyes for a while.

The doctor and nurse left after finishing their work. Before leaving, they also told the tall man what to pay attention to, as if treating him as the patient's family member.In fact, this is the first time they've met.

After the ward became quiet again, the man came over and said, "Hello, Yuan Qibo, I am..."

"I know who you are." Yuan Qibo, who was still feeling dizzy in his head, interrupted him somewhat roughly, looked into the other's eyes and said word by word: "Tang Chen'an."

Tang Chen'an frowned imperceptibly, already had a premonition of what he was going to say, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Thank you for saving me, but I messed up this matter and lost the money. I am a person who died once, and it is impossible to die a second time for this." Yuan Qibo said with some self-deprecation: "I lost my money." I will pay back the money if I sell everything, but I don’t want to do it anymore.”

With a passion, he came to help these people who have been living below the poverty line.Many of them do not even have a good piece of clothing at home, many children have no chance to study, and suffer from hunger for most of the year. Meat can only be eaten during the few days of the Chinese New Year.Before coming here, Yuan Qibo never thought that there is still such a poor place in Tang Country. He thought that he could change the living conditions of the people here and bring them a better life.However, the face of the wine is red, and the money is touching, but the person he was going to help broke into the place where he was temporarily staying, hijacked him to a barren hill, and tortured him for the password of the bank card. He was afraid that he would call the police and knock him unconscious Then throw it on the mountain.And the borrowed family who was very warm to him these days also watched him being dragged away indifferently, and didn't even find someone to rescue him on the mountain afterwards.There is snow on the mountain, and there are footprints on the snow, even if only one person tries to find him, he will never almost freeze to death in the barren mountain and snow.

Tang Chenan said: "You don't need to worry about the money. I have already caught the person who robbed you and sent him to the Public Security Bureau, and the money has been recovered. But do you really want to give up? Then why did you accept Skynet's offer in the first place?" A special invitation?"

"That's because I'm too stupid! But now that I know it, I would like to advise you, some people in this world are not worthy of help at all, and they choose to stay in the mud pit by themselves!" Yuan Qibo said coldly.

Tang Chen'an persuaded him a few more words, seeing that his decision could no longer be changed, he finally gave up with regret, and finally said: "Don't worry about the medical expenses and bus fares, they will all be charged by Skynet, and they will be billed to your card later. Three months' salary. I hope you can write a summary of this experience and post it on your blog, so it can be regarded as a guide for others."

"Even if you don't say it, I will do it." Yuan Qibo said: "It's not a guide, but a warning-warning everyone, they may encounter the same thing as me."

Tang Chen'an looked at him and said, "Do you think you are the first to encounter this kind of thing?"

……

Just like the black chessmen call themselves crows, the white chessmen certainly don't consider themselves pawns, but call themselves helpers.Before Skynet issued special invitations, many of them felt very lonely, not because they had no relatives and friends around them, but because they felt that their beliefs and principles were so incompatible with those around them that they were not accepted by this Tolerated by the world that laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes.However, after becoming supporters of Skynet, they realized that there are still so many people in the world like themselves, and they are not alone.They established a communication platform on the Internet, exchanged their past ideas and experience in dealing with things, discussed the objects they were helping, complained about many social phenomena and policies, and shared some heart-warming stories that happened around them. The feeling of belonging.

Therefore, the departure of every companion was very unacceptable to them. Knowing that Yuan Qibo was going to give up, many people left messages, phone calls, and text messages on the Internet, constantly encouraging him, retaining him, and using their own hard work. Stories try to move him.However, Yuan Qibo encountered a life-and-death crisis and was disheartened. After replying a few words hastily, he never showed up again.Half a month later, he published his last diary on Skynet's personal blog, recording his experience in detail. Although there were no accusations or accusations in his words, the grief and pain between the lines were lingering , Since then, no one has asked him why he left.

……

"So it's no wonder that this kind of thing happened, so you didn't keep him anymore?" He Miaomiao said vaguely while sitting in the car, eating bread.

"Well. It's a pity that Xinru Township will continue to be poor in the future." Tang Chen'an said.He thought of the villagers he saw when he left. They were wearing tattered padded jackets and shoes with bare toes, squatting lazily by the wall and basking in the sun, not knowing what kind of opportunities they missed.

——Perhaps they may not cherish such an opportunity.

Xinru Township is one of the poorest places in Tang Country. In order to improve the current situation here, Yuan Qibo originally had many plans.The first is to build roads.In Xinru Township, only one road built by the state in the past is in good condition, and the roads in other places are basically created by people walking too much.Some remote villages are deep in the mountains, and children have to walk several kilometers to go to school, not to mention mountain roads, and sometimes they have to pass through cliffs, which is very dangerous.Therefore, Yuan Qibo's first batch of funds was to rebuild and level some of the main roads in Xinru Township, and to add guardrails to dangerous road sections.In the future, schools will be built, teachers will be invited to support teachers, the health of villagers will be improved, and special products in mountainous areas will be developed.Only now, all plans come to a screeching halt at the first step.

He Miaomiao stopped gnawing on the bread, she turned her head and asked Tang Chenan, "Has Skynet not sending anyone anymore?"

Tang Chenan smiled wryly and said, "Do you think there are many donors? Sugar Country is so big, there are only 380 donors in total, and the number of places that need assistance is far beyond this number. One radish and one hole still feel that there are too few radishes. What's more, there are already [-] people who have given up halfway, at least in a few years, it is impossible to spare people."

He Miaomiao was speechless. There were seven supporters in her city, and they had become good friends with each other. They usually communicated online and felt that they were in a huge group. They never felt that Skynet was still short of manpower. The problem.

However, what He Miaomiao didn't know, and what Tang Chen'an vaguely sensed, was that Skynet was not an organization where the Holy Mother would put the right cheek on her face after being slapped on the left.In individual point-to-point assistance missions, if there is a problem due to the lack of ability of the aider himself, Skynet will immediately send other people to assist or take over; So far, there is no precedent for Skynet to send aiders twice.

"Hey, look, it's out!" He Miaomiao said in a low voice and hastily, throwing away the half-eaten bread, setting up her glasses and staring at the two men who just came out of the restaurant with their stomachs outstretched. .

The two got into a dark blue pick-up truck, and the back of the truck was covered with a brown-green tarpaulin.He Miaomiao glanced across the carriage, and couldn't help showing a bit of anger in her eyes.

A few minutes after the pickup truck drove out, Tang Chen'an started the car unhurriedly. At this time, the pickup truck was no longer visible on the road, but on the tablet in front of him, there was a small red Dot twinkle forward.

He Miaomiao bit her finger, and asked a little worriedly: "Aren't you going to follow up? What if they change cars on the way?"

"It's just a group of thieves, do you think it's a spy movie?" Tang Chenan said speechlessly.He felt that it was a waste to install the tracker on these people's cars, and He Miaomiao also thought that the other party had the consciousness of changing cars to get rid of tracking.Not to mention whether the other party would think that someone would follow them for those lost dogs, just to avoid the trouble of moving a dozen unconscious cats and dogs up and down, these lowest-level criminals would not bother.

As expected, after following the other party's vehicle for more than two hours, the tablet showed that the pickup truck had stopped.Tang Chenan stopped the car at a distance of two or three hundred meters and said to He Miaomiao, "Stay in the car and wait for my news."

"Oh." He Miaomiao nodded nervously. She is not the kind of little girl who cries and shouts "I'll go with you". She knows that if she goes with her physical strength, she will only be hindered. It's better to stay in the car as a backup. In case Tang Chen'an didn't come back, whether it was calling the police or asking Skynet for help, it would be much more useful than falling into the enemy camp together.

Tang Chenan gave He Miaomiao the car keys and asked her to lock the car after she got out of the car.Seeing the girl nodding to him while clutching the key, he checked his equipment, opened the door and got out of the car.

He Miaomiao switched to the driver's seat and looked ahead with wide eyes, but was blocked by the high wall and couldn't see anything.She glanced at the time on her mobile phone every 2 minutes, waiting eagerly, feeling her heart beating faster and faster in the dark car.

"Ding ding dong... ding ding dong dong..."

The phone rang suddenly, and He Miaomiao frantically connected it, only to hear Tang Chen'an's low voice: "It's all taken care of, come here."

He Miaomiao started the car and followed the locator display into a compound with high walls. He was a little surprised but not surprised to find that five or six men on the ground were knocked out and tied up.The tarpaulin on the cabin of the pickup truck had been torn off, and there were more than a dozen unconscious cats and dogs inside, two of which still had exquisite hang tags on their bodies.

In a dark house on the left side, there were bursts of barking dogs. He Miaomiao walked in and saw that the inside was full of iron cages, and each cage was stuffed with one or two cats and dogs that didn't even have room to turn around. Seeing someone coming in, they barked even louder, and there was unconcealable fear and anxiety in their barking.

Tang Chen'an stood at the door of another room, frowning and looking inside, but he didn't go in, and there was no sound from inside.He Miaomiao poked her head curiously, but was immediately blocked by Tang Chenan, who said, "You'd better not look."

However, He Miaomiao squatted down and saw the scene inside from under his arm. She widened her eyes in astonishment, and then a feeling of nausea came over her, and she hurried to the side to vomit while leaning on the wall.

Inside the house is a slaughterhouse.Not to mention the dark brown blood stains and the fur and internal organs of various animals, the body of a skinned dog hangs upside down on the shelf, and the bloodshot red flesh is creepy.

Tang Chenan closed the door and patted He Miaomiao on the back.After she finished vomiting, he handed her another bottle of mineral water to rinse her mouth.

"Brother Tang, tell me, how can people be so cruel?" He Miaomiao murmured holding the water bottle.

Tang Chen'an didn't speak. To him, this scene was nothing. He had seen many people who could do cruel things to the same kind.

After all, He Miaomiao was not a child, nor was she the bewildered little girl she was when she first became a helper. She did not need Tang Chen'an's answer to continue. After a moment of distraction, He Miaomiao wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you." You, Brother Tang." After she finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone, called the police in an orderly manner, notified the media, and asked the staff of the animal rescue station she established to drive to pick up the cats and dogs rescued here.At this time, the girl's speech was clear and logical, she said what she could say, and she didn't reveal a word of what she couldn't say, and she completely disappeared from the fragile and frightened appearance before.

Before the media arrived, Tang Chen'an confirmed that she could handle it by herself, so she left alone.

A few police cars roared past him. Tang Chen'an was wearing a backpack slung across his shoulders. A layer of dust inevitably fell on his face. He looked like an ordinary hiker.It's just that his back is straighter and his steps are more solid.

Tang Chenan thought, Skynet has really changed the fate of too many people, and also changed many people, including himself.

He was originally a retired special soldier, but he found a job as a bodyguard through the relationship of his comrades in arms. His daily task was to protect some dudes whose main task was to waste their lives, which made him want to wring their necks even more.But since he received the recruitment from Skynet, he has rediscovered the excitement and excitement of traveling through the rainforest in the middle of the night to perform tasks, wandering all over the world.

As far as Tang Chen'an knew, Skynet's helpers could basically be divided into two categories. One was people like He Miaomiao and Yuan Qibo who helped others on the front line. Active efforts to help others, such people are the most.There are also a very small number of people, like Tang Chen'an, who are above the average level in terms of force and intelligence, and can deal with various problems. They are a group of people who specialize in providing assistance to helpers.

For example, Yuan Qibo, when he was in mortal danger, although he did not ask for help, Skynet could tell that he was in danger, so he notified the nearest Tang Chenan to help him; In this way, although there was no danger, she encountered a situation that she could not solve. After sending a signal for help to Skynet, Skynet would send someone who could solve the problem to help him according to the situation.

Because of the nature of this kind of work, Tang Chen'an has met with many supporters, and he has seen more than one person choose to give up like Yuan Qibo.There is a big gap between dreams and reality. Many people have made impassioned statements about their future plans, believing that they can change the world, and then suddenly disappeared from the communication platform one day. Some even He will delete and block all his friends, change his phone number and email address, cut off contact with all his former friends, and admit his failure in the face of reality.

However, there are more people who run into walls everywhere but fail repeatedly. No matter how many times they fail, they can get up from the ground again energetically and continue to fight for their dreams.Tang Chen'an understood the former's choice, but he liked the latter more emotionally. He helped them to achieve success step by step, and he was happier than he himself had achieved.

With a "ding dong", the phone notified him that he had a new text message.Tang Chenan opened it and took a look: "Shen Chi asks for help, address: No. 308, Yuehe Road, Jianglan District, Q City, Yuehe Parity Hospital."

With new tasks, new problems, and new experiences, Tang Chenan raised his hand to stop a taxi and said, "Go to the airport."
