Chapter 7 Sweet Potatoes and Luncheon Meat

The man called the boss didn't change his expression, he just glanced at Hu Xiaowei, and then said to the young man, "Take her to the place where she lives, and watch her carefully."

Going out the door and turning left and right, Hu Xiaowei was brought to one of the many rooms. A young man with a live ammunition was standing by the door, nodding to the man beside Hu Xiaowei: "Gu Qing!" opened the door.

It turned out that this man's name was Gu Qing, and Hu Xiaowei was so close to him that she could smell his scent, it was the smell of the man who patted her on the back in the car, it turned out that the man who silently served her tea along the way , It's him, Gu Qing!

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaowei couldn't help but look at the people around her again.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Qing put his hands in his trouser pockets relaxedly, not looking like a kidnapper at all.

"Thank you!" Hu Xiaowei felt that he should know what she was referring to.

The man turned his eyes away awkwardly, coughed a few times, as if to cover up his embarrassment, and didn't speak again. In this kind of place, with so many eyes staring at him, everyone feels insecure.

This is a room as small as a prison cell, with only one small window for ventilation on the wall near the roof.The only thing in the room was a single wooden bed with a quilt that looked thin and dirty.The room exudes a musty smell unique to winter. Due to poor ventilation, Hu Xiaowei sneezed several times as soon as she entered.

"You rest first, someone will bring you food later."

After Gu Qing said this, he took his brothers out of the room. After the last person left, the door of the room was closed, and then Hu Xiaowei heard the sound of the iron lock "clicking". She knew that she was locked again. Trapped in this inch of land, waiting in the dark, waiting...

The man named Gu Qing hadn't come out since that day. Hu Xiaowei was detained in this small room. The only visitor she saw every day was the pregnant woman she saw on the day she came. She came to see her off every day. Meal and change of clothes.

"What's your name?" Hu Xiaowei tried to talk to this woman. After coming here, she was going crazy, and no one talked to her for two days.

"Xiao Cui."

"Have you lived here all this time?" Hu Xiaowei continued to ask excitedly when she saw her speak, but unfortunately the woman named Xiao Cui did not speak again.

She is about 30 years old, her body is as thin as a tree branch after fallen leaves, and her belly looks abnormally large, probably because she is also a pregnant woman, Hu Xiaowei feels a little kind when she looks at her.Always want to communicate with her!

But slowly Hu Xiaowei discovered that this woman was not willing to talk to her at all, she always walked in silently, put down the food and left, and came back to clear the dishes after Hu Xiaowei finished eating, without saying a word.The way she looked at Hu Xiaowei was full of vigilance and curiosity, but there was also a small amount of hostility and hatred in it.

Hu Xiaowei can understand her feelings. Surrounded by a group of men like wolves, tigers and leopards, facing the black hole of the gun in fear all day long, begging for life under the scolding of others, and taking care of a woman like a servant, especially if she is still A woman who is as pregnant as herself...

So even if Xiaocui didn't give her a good face, Hu Xiaowei didn't take it to heart. Every time she faced her rough, dark and cold face, Hu Xiaowei smiled kindly: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Even if it doesn't change anything!

There are only two meals a day, noon and evening.The food for each meal was similar: steamed buns or bread that were too hard to chew, two or three slices of fatty meat, and boiled cabbage.Occasionally, there is a half-dead apple with a few rotten spots on it, and it still tastes bitter when bitten!This was unbearable for Hu Xiaowei in the past, even in her most difficult time.Especially fat meat, Hu Xiaowei never eats fat meat, even a little bit!But now, for the sake of the child in his stomach, he forced himself to eat them all.

No one came to harass her, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to.What I do every day, besides sleeping, is to talk to the child in my stomach and hum gently to him (her).Hu Xiaowei doesn't feel lonely, because in her body, there is a small part of Wenfan, who is always with her.

After a sound of unlocking, the door opened, and a little boy stood by the door with his lunch.He was about five or six years old. He was thin and small, but his black and white eyes were clever and cute.He looked at Hu Xiaowei in a daze, with curiosity, doubt, and a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Hello." Hu Xiaowei smiled at him.She liked children very much at first, but now maybe because she is pregnant, she loves children even more when she sees them.

He quickly lowered his eyes, walked over stiffly, and put the lunch beside the bed.

"Where's your mother?" I asked him.

He looked up at Hu Xiaowei, then looked down at the ground, and replied in a low voice: "My mother is sick. I'll bring you food for her."

"What's wrong with her? Is it important?" Hu Xiaowei became a little worried.

"Mom bled a little. She said she had to rest for a few days, or the little brother would not be able to keep it."

Will it be a miscarriage?Don't let anything happen to your child.Hu Xiaowei felt sad for a while.

"Do you like a little brother or a little sister?" she asked the child softly.

"I want a little brother, and my father said that only a little brother can work." He replied childishly.

Hu Xiaowei felt as if she had been pushed hard in her heart, and she froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of their families early, and these people living at the bottom of society let their children experience the hardships of life early!

The child's crisp voice interrupted her thinking: "The adults say that people in the city are annoying and snobbish, don't you think so too?" He bit his lip, then looked up at Hu Xiaowei timidly, and whispered : "Your voice is really nice, and you are very gentle."

Hu Xiaowei walked over and squatted gently in front of him: "In this world, people are different. There are no absolutely good people, but there are no absolutely bad people. It's like this everywhere. Are you willing to stay with me and say yes? Are you kidding me?"

He looked at Hu Xiaowei with bright eyes, and smiled shyly: "I am willing."

Hu Xiaowei stood up and went to the door, and said to the guards: "I want this child to eat with me for a while, okay? You can leave the door open so that you can watch us all the time. I won't hurt him, I will not take the opportunity to escape."

The man thought for a while and replied, "You can't even hurt the ants like this. Speaking of running away, this is a deep mountainous area, and you can only go to a dead end if you run out. You can stay with him for a while, but not for too long, otherwise Boss Gu will kill you." It’s hard for me to explain.”

Thanking him, Hu Xiaowei walked back to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed with the little boy, and began to eat her lunch.

"My name is Xiaowei, what about you?" Hu Xiaowei picked up a piece of luncheon meat and took a bite, then asked him.

"My name is Goudan." He replied.

"How old?"

"I'm already eight years old." Goudan said proudly.

Hu Xiaowei was startled, and looked at him with some bitterness.Is he already eight years old?But it's as short as a five-year-old child.What kind of life did he live in this barren mountain?

Goudan also looked at her, but his eyes focused on the piece of luncheon meat in her hand.

Hu Xiaowei felt a little strange: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate." He replied, but still did not look away.

"What did you eat?"

"sweet potato."

"Sweet potato?" Hu Xiaowei never knew that this thing can be eaten as a meal, "Except for sweet potato?"

"No, that's all we have to eat. Everyone eats sweet potatoes. Sometimes they can't get enough to eat, and there is no food in winter. But occasionally the adults can catch a hare or two and eat meat!"

"Then what about the food I eat every day?" Hu Xiaowei asked in surprise.

"Mom said that those uncles brought these when they came, and we can't eat them." His innocent eyes shone brightly. .

"Then how many times have you eaten meat this year?" A hard lump was stuck in her throat, and Hu Xiaowei felt very uncomfortable.

The child's thin face suddenly glowed with excitement and longing: "I have eaten it twice! Both are hares and pheasants that my father caught outside. They are delicious! Much better than sweet potatoes and sorghum rice Lah. But the deep forest is too dangerous. My father only dares to move around the periphery, and he doesn’t meet him a few times a year. When I grow up, I must become very brave and catch a lot of pheasants and hares and bring them back to my father. Mom, and little brother to eat."

Hu Xiaowei's nose felt a little sour, and she put the plate in front of Goudan: "Do you want to try this? It's called luncheon meat, it's pork, and it tastes good too."

Goudan's eyes almost fell into the plate, he pressed Tiantian's lips, but looked up at Hu Xiaowei hesitantly: "Mom will beat me if she finds out."

Hu Xiaowei patted his head: "If I don't tell your mother, she won't know."

He looked suspiciously at the guard at the door again.She quickly relieved him: "He must not have seen what we were doing."

Goudan finally calmed down, stretched out his hand and carefully picked up the luncheon meat on the plate, put it to his lips and took a bite. "It smells so good! It's even better than chicken!"

He chewed hard with his small mouth, and a piece of luncheon meat disappeared in an instant.After eating, he was still pointing his fingers reluctantly: "Can you eat this every day?" His little face was full of envy.

Hu Xiaowei suppressed the tears in her eyes, and handed him the piece of meat she had already bitten: "I only took one bite, do you want to eat it?"

He took it happily, but this time he took small bites and chewed slowly, as if this was the most delicious delicacy in the world, and there would be no more after eating it.

"When you come to deliver food at night, bring your dinner here to eat with me, okay?" Hu Xiaowei whispered, stroking his head.

"Okay." Goudan nodded happily.

"Sister, are you pregnant too, and your belly is so big." Goudan looked at Hu Xiaowei's bulging belly curiously, and asked happily.

"Yes, in my sister's stomach, there is a little brother just like your mother."

"Hehehe, then I will also play with him in the future."

When Hu Xiaowei heard this, she was stunned!It's been two days since I've been here, I don't know how Wen Fan's affairs are going!Will Wang Xueqing really let her go back, or will she be abandoned here forever?

"God, what do you usually play?" Hu Xiaowei tried to divert her attention. She said in the parenting book she had read before that she must be in a good mood when she is pregnant, otherwise the child will be born with a bad temper. Strange, don't listen to mother's words!

"I'm going to dig wild vegetables in the morning, gather firewood in the afternoon, and scratch my grandfather's back at night. There are so many small nails on my grandfather's back, and it's so itchy every day." Goudan said proudly one by one, Not sad at all, but full of joy.

"Also, sister, my mother said that after you leave, our family will have money to go down the mountain. Are there a lot of delicious food down the mountain?"

"Yes, there are really a lot of delicious food outside." Hu Xiaowei stroked the child's hair lovingly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
