Spring is coming

The buildings were no longer visible from the car window, the green trees flew by, and the sky was blue and cloudless.

The car slowed down and started to go uphill, honking the horn all the way.

Too bad, Winding Mountain Road was sold into the mountains.It's hard to say whether he can escape or not.

Xueli was annoyed, this good hand made her play poorly, Chun Xin comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we are still together, as long as we are not afraid of anything, I will be happy."

It's good to be with Dongdong, to do everything well, and Chunxin doesn't worry about being sold to the mountains, anyway, Dongdong is here, and he is not afraid of the end of the world, and his mentality is super good.

After entering the mountain, Chunxin became more energetic, often opened his eyes wide, pressed his face against the cage, and stared out of the car window.After a while, he turned his head and said to Xueli: "I saw the locust tree. The locust tree has white flowers, and the flowers are edible."

Xueli said "Yes", "When I was in Cannes, my grandma made me Sophora japonica cakes."

"Is it tasty?"

"Okay."

"What does it smell like?"

"Flower smell, cake smell."

Say it but don't say it.

Chun Xin continued to stick to the cage and stare out the window, and leaned on Xueli's shoulder when he was tired, "How long will it take to arrive?"

Xueli squeezed her fingers, "You are not afraid."

Chun Xin said, "Who the hell wants to pay for me?"

She really couldn't understand, mother, father, grandparents didn't want her, and all her relatives didn't like her, what kind of person is he who would spend money to buy her.

The car stopped, and the man driving opened the cage to carry her out. She stretched on the spot, relaxed as if she was going home, "It's finally here."

The man was quite surprised by her reaction, Chun Xin said: "Clear water and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver."

The other party was even more baffled, and Chun Xin had already chatted with him, "Who bought me? My father doesn't want me anymore, and my grandparents don't like me either. It's fine if they don't want me. I hope this family treats me better. Beat me and scold me all the time."

Thinking that she was sold by her own father, the man was not surprised, he just laughed and didn't say anything else.

The whistle of the train was faintly heard in the snow. She looked back and saw that the car was coming from the dirt road. There was broken sand on both sides of the road. There might be a sand factory in the mountains. This is the road built by the sand factory, and the traces of the cart were obvious.

There is a two-storey red brick bungalow on the side of the road. There is a courtyard dam in front of the door. There is a tree in the courtyard and there is no wall.

The house is not big, the first floor is the main room and the kitchen room, and the second floor is occupied by people. Two women came out of the house and carried them to the roof.There is a green brick hut on the roof, which should have been added later, and the woman didn't close them, she locked the big iron gate at the top of the stairs and went down.

This is not the end, the mountains here are not deep enough, it is just a transit station.

Even if they followed them all the way and kept their minds clear, they still didn't know where it was. The van took the unmarked dirt road and couldn't see the street signs, so of course they couldn't figure out the direction.

The two children wandered around on the roof, bending down to look down. The two floors were five or six meters, which was too high for children.

The small house on the roof has no door, and inside it is a small bed, a square cabinet, and a three-legged bench.

Why not lock them in the room? Xueli quickly got the answer, and within half an hour, the red-faced car came back again, and two women and a man joined forces to escort a woman into the car from the house.

The woman had a rice bag on her head and her hands were tied behind her back. She struggled violently and was kicked to the knees and fell to the ground. The man quickly tied her feet with hemp rope and threw her into the car.

The red face disappeared, and the two women returned to the room, and after a while, food was delivered upstairs, and they knocked on the iron door with a wooden stick "Bang Bang Bang", calling a dog, "Eat."

Chun Xin stretched his neck and leaned over, "What's delicious?"

The woman actually answered her: "Vegetarian beans, vegetarian pumpkin, and rice."

Boiled pumpkin and beans in an aluminum basin and rice in two small bowls.

Chun Xin brought over the bowl, "I really like eating beans."

The woman looked back at her halfway, and Chun Xin said, "This pumpkin is so sweet."

Maybe it was a child who had never seen so much talking. The woman went downstairs halfway, then turned back and stretched her neck to watch.

Chunxin and Xueli squatted on the ground and ate obediently. They felt that the rice was hard, and they knew how to pour the vegetable soup into a bowl to soak and eat, and babbled some children's language that adults could not understand.

It made her quite strange.

The sound of cicadas in the mountains was endless, and under the scorching sun, the air flow on the roof of the bungalow was illusory and distorted.After eating, they went back to the small house to sleep. When the woman came up to collect the bowls, she saw from the big iron gate that they were fast asleep, but honestly.

In the evening, they were awakened by the sound of knocking on the iron door. The two children rubbed their eyes and got up from the bed to eat.

It was the leftover bean pumpkin at noon. The woman leaned against the wall to watch, and snorted, "You two are at ease. You sleep after eating, and eat when you sleep."

Chun Xin looked up and said, "I also work at home, I can wash dishes and sweep the floor."

Xueli usually doesn't speak, and she basically doesn't respond to what other people say. She looks like she has a brain problem or a problem with her ears.

The woman went downstairs, and after a while she came up and put a small bowl on the floor, which turned out to be half a bowl of twice-cooked pork, although it was leftovers, at least it was a bit meaty.

Chun Xin let out a "wow", "Thank you, Auntie."

Afterwards, one big and one small started chatting for some unknown reason.

Generally, abducted children are afraid even if they don’t cry or make trouble when they leave home and come to a strange environment. Like a kitten that has just been brought home, they hang around in the corner without eating or drinking.

Human traffickers don't have that much patience, and they will be honest after being beaten up if they are disobedient.

As for Chun Xin, he used all his experience in dealing with the old lady on this. He chatted endlessly, asking her about who would buy him, and said that his parents didn't want his mother, he didn't like anyone, and he couldn't stay at home.

She couldn't think of these things herself, and grandma usually told her that she was just an unwanted child.

Xueli often heard such words in Yin's house, and Chun Xin almost repeated them word for word.

The woman leaned on the banister and said to her: "Because you are a girl doll, if you were a boy doll, your father would definitely not sell you. But there are also families who want girl dolls, and there are many who want girl dolls."

Chun Xin tilted his head: "Why?"

The woman stopped talking.

A girl of this age is just right to be sold to the mountains to be raised as a daughter-in-law. She can't run, and she can't run very far.

Chun Xin naturally didn't understand the reason, she naively thought that if it was a family that really wanted a child, maybe it would be good to her.

She desperately wanted to have a home, so she kept asking, "Who bought me?"

The woman smiled inexplicably, "Try to find you a good family."

Where is there any good family, either a fool, a disabled person or an old bachelor.

The night in the mountains is extremely dark, the wind is blowing, the trees all over the mountain are rustling, no lights can be seen anywhere, and the noise of cuckoos is long and long.

The deep black ridges are like crouching beasts, and the sound of the wind is their threatening roars. The world is vast, vast, and lonely.

"It's so big and dark here."

Standing on the roof, Chun Xin shrunk his shoulders and pressed his fists against his chin. For the first time, he felt the helplessness and fear of leaving home.But when she thought of the small bed she usually lay on, and the faces of her grandparents, she didn't have much longing to go home.

The world is vast, and there is no corner that belongs to her.

It was too quiet, and there was no sound of people around. The two children snuggled up on the simple plank bed, like a small boat floating alone in the sea of ​​silence.

Xueli said: "In the second half of the night, when they fall asleep, we will run away."

Chunxin Yuanyuan opened his eyes, and nodded "Mmmm".

There is no clock, no mobile phone, and I don't know how long the time has passed. I can only judge by the degree of drowsiness.

Chunxin was still a child after all, and fell asleep leaning against the wall after a while, Xueli didn't wake her up, and went out to look around.

The sky is not pure black, and the red half of the sky belonging to the city can be seen on the distant ridge, which is the direction they are escaping tonight.

The two-story building is five or six meters high. After going down, you can't walk on the road, you have to go into the mountains, walk in the dark for two hours, and if you don't get caught until dawn, you will basically be fine.

Traffickers find that people have escaped. If they cannot be caught, they will not waste any more time. They are also afraid of being caught.

Fortunately, if it has been sold to someone's household, it will be arrested wherever it goes.

When the crescent moon was above the head, it was probably early in the morning, Xueli woke up Chunxin, and together she tore off the bed sheet and tore it into long strips.

If you don’t have scissors, you can just bite with your teeth. Just make a bite and it will be easy to tear, but you have to control the volume, don’t make too much noise, and speak close to your ears.

The torn sheets were tied into a long strip and hidden under the bed first, letting her sleep for a while in the snow.

Trying to stay awake deliberately, time passed very slowly. During the period, the woman went upstairs to look at it once when she got up at night. Xueli heard the movement and went back to bed. The woman's shadow stayed at the iron gate for a long time before going downstairs very lightly.

In the second half of the night, she accidentally fell asleep with something on her mind. She woke up very quickly. She may have only slept for 15 minutes, but she was quite refreshed. She took off her shoes and went out to let the cool breeze refresh her mind.

There is nothing to pass the time, just holding on to sleep, it is very difficult, but at this time the mood is very peaceful.During the ten years when Chun Xin had left, she often sat withered at night until dawn, and she was used to this kind of silence.

Now that Chunxin is by his side, even though he is experiencing danger, he no longer feels fear in his heart.

Chunxin slept like a little piggy, Xueli woke her up, she was not happy, turned over and continued to sleep, Xueli kept teasing and scratching her, she sat up angrily, didn't speak, pouted Mouth closed eyes play dead.

"Look at the morning star." Xueli whispered.

Harunobu immediately opened his eyes.

The moonlight sprinkled on the roof, like a thin layer of snow, and the snow led her out, pointing to the sky.

On the edge of the crescent moon, there is the brightest and brightest star, the morning star, which only appears three to four hours before sunrise.

"It's the Venus star!" Chun Xin whispered to her ear, "We met the Venus star together!"

It can be deduced from this that it is about four o'clock in the morning, when people sleep most soundly, and they should also leave.

Chun Xin was the best at climbing over the wall, and Xueli tied the strips of cloth to the foot of the bed, carried them downstairs through the window, asked her to go down with her schoolbag on her back, and told her: "If anyone finds out, run away first. "

She asked, "What about you?"

Xueli said: "I have a solution." After all, she has an adult's brain, so she will adapt to the situation when the time comes.

Chun Xin thought for a while, but didn't answer, just said: "Let's get down first."

Chun Xin was a master at climbing walls, and the child was light in weight and made no sound when he went down.When it was the snow's turn, something happened. She found that the rope was too short and out of reach. She didn't dare to jump for fear of making noise.

Chun Xin propped his hands on the wall, patted her shoulders, motioned for her to step on, Xue Li gently put his feet on it, Chun Xin supported the wall and slowly squatted down to save her.

They actually escaped, the door of the main room on the first floor of the red brick building was not closed, and it was dark inside, and they didn't know if there was anyone, so they swaggered from the courtyard dam directly to the road.

After walking 20 meters, they started running. They ran desperately, first ran along the main road, ran 300 meters, turned a corner, and led her in the snow to climb into the mountains. Chun Xin broke free from her, "Wait a minute."

She took off her schoolbag and threw it on the ground, Xueli thought she didn't want to carry it, so she picked it up and carried it, and lowered her head to hold her hand, she quickly took two steps back.

"Chunxin?" Xueli looked up in surprise, she had already run several meters back.

She stood in the middle of the road and waved, "Dongdong, you can go, you can go by yourself, I won't go."

Xueli hurriedly turned around and walked towards her, "Why? We've already run out, they can't catch us."

"Anyway, I'm not leaving."

In the dark night, that little shadow turned around and strode back stubbornly, Xueli hurriedly chased after him, lowering his voice, "No, that's not a good place, you'll regret it, we've already escaped, let's go back go home!"

"I don't want to go back."

"Please." Xueli burst into tears, holding her arm and dragging her back, "Don't do this, please."

"Why should I go back?" Her voice changed, fearing that she would not be able to run, so she didn't dare to shout loudly, and said like a mosquito: "They all don't want me anymore, why should I go back..."

"It's all my fault, please, please..." Xueli hugged her waist, almost kneeling on the ground, using all her strength to stop her.

Chun Xin wiped his eyes hard with the back of his hand, trying to suppress his crying, "I'm not wanted anymore, why should I go back..."

Preorder "The Nightingale and the Rose", sweet text.

Copywriting: The first time we met, at Shen Qiangwei's villa in the middle of the mountain, Ye Ying came here for the first time, and the bus only went down the mountain.

She walked up the mountain for half an hour, panting and stood in front of the carved iron gate, and saw the blue rain in full bloom on the courtyard wall of the villa.This is a vine rose with purple and white flowers.

Shen Qiangwei and her eight-year-old daughter stood at the door to welcome her. The woman had flaming red lips and a graceful figure, holding a bouquet of pink tulips and offering a hug, "Welcome Teacher Xiaoye."

At that time, Ye Ying didn't expect that every Friday, she would climb the slope for half an hour to come to Shen Qiangwei's house, part-time tutor, nanny, gardener... and Shen Qiangwei's sleeping pillow.

Ye Ying participated in all the big and small things around Shen Qiangwei, including Shen Qiangwei's husband's funeral.

Women always remain exquisite and beautiful no matter when and where. At the funeral, there is a black wide-brimmed top hat, hip-wrapping skirt, stiletto heels, and a white rose in hand. There is not a single tear in the whole process.

Outside the cemetery, under the fir tree, Ye Ying said, "I won't come next semester."

The woman's slender fingers under the black lace gloves grabbed the drawstring of her hoodie, took off her hat, and raised her head, tears streaming down her face, "Is even Teacher Xiaoye leaving me?"

At that time, Ye Ying did not expect that Shen Qiangwei's house would take so long to climb the steep slope.
