my old life

Chapter 2888 Spirited Away
As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, and be careful to do to others what you want.

I sat on the sofa and smoked quietly, I was very curious about the little girl's identity and experience, I was eager to know everything...but I knew I had to wait.

It's a better time to wait for her to eat and drink. I also want to arrange for her to leave as soon as possible. After all, following us is not a wise move.

After one bowl of instant noodles came another bowl, I don't know how long she has been hungry, now there is nothing else to eat except instant noodles.

In fact, people in the rivers and lakes cannot do without instant noodles, even if they have money and banknotes in their pockets, they still have to rely on instant noodles to satisfy their hunger at critical times.

Ten minutes later, the little girl was full and even drank the soup. It was hard to believe that a little girl could eat so much if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"Thank you." The little girl took the initiative to say something, which surprised me and the blind man. There are not many children of this age who can understand manners.

As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early. Looking at her like this, you can tell that your life is not very good. People who have experienced the hardships of life are more precocious.

"Little girl, you ate instant noodles just now, can you answer a few questions for me now?" I asked with a smile, my tone and attitude were very sincere.

"Hmm." Her attitude was very calm, as if she knew I would ask.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Chihiro."

"Did you use a cartoon character as your name?" I asked easily, because I knew it wasn't her real name.

"Ah."

"Can you tell me now, who sold you?" I asked calmly, trying to keep the atmosphere in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Stepfather and stepmother." The little girl answered very simply, as if she had been used to it for a long time.

I thought she was sold by her biological parents, but I didn't expect her to be her adoptive parents, so it's easy to understand.

"Where are your biological parents? Where are they?"

"They're dead, and people call me an orphan."

"So that's the case, then can I send you to the orphanage?" I asked calmly, I couldn't let her stay by my side all the time.

"I was adopted from the orphanage by my stepfather and stepmother. There are many others like me who were adopted."

"Huh? Isn't it only possible to adopt one?" I asked in surprise, I have heard of some.

"Orphans are not restricted, I am an orphan." The little girl's tone was very strong, but this kind of strength made people feel sad.

"Can I ask, what do they do after they adopt?"

"Sell."

"Sell it? To whom?"

"Some strange people."

"Huh?" I was already vigilant in my heart. Although I didn't want to think about it, I still had a general outline in my heart.

Although I have known for a long time that there are some unorthodox trades, I have never seen anyone make money from this, it is absolutely devoid of conscience!

"What's the matter with your injury? How did it become like this?" I changed the subject and asked, trying to keep the atmosphere relaxed.

"These injuries were caused by them. If it weren't for these injuries, I might have been bought."

"Your adoptive father and adoptive mother, who takes drugs?" I asked bluntly, anyone who can deal with drug dealers must touch this!

I know very well what happens to people when they are addicted to drugs. Not to mention adopted children, even biological ones can be sold!
"Father." The little girl replied with some hesitation. At her age, she was already able to judge the basics of good and bad.

"Chihiro, how long have you been locked up there?"

"I don't know, maybe two days."

"Those hanging people, have anyone been bought?" I tentatively asked, she must be able to see it there.

"There was an uncle who was bought by two aunts."

"You are lucky! Really!" I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I know what those people are for, and I also know why there are children.

There are all kinds of people in this world of all kinds. Some people are so despicable that everyone hates them. I rarely come into contact with such people.

The fate of those imprisoned addicts is actually very simple. The buyer will toss them to death, and they don't care whether they are addicts or not...

When I saw those people in the basement at that time, I basically knew in my heart that those people had needles in their bodies, and all of them were heavy addicts!
"Brother Ming, why can't I understand?" The blind man leaned over and asked, and handed him a cigarette.

"Don't talk yet." I waved my hand to signal the blind man to step back. I put down the cigarette and didn't light it, because this action might arouse her resistance.

"Tell me where you want to go, and I can take you there."

"I have nowhere to go."

"Do you have any relatives or aunts and aunts? Where is your hometown?" I asked curiously, even if both parents died, you can't even have no relatives, right?

"Jiangchuan."

"I understand."

"How long have you been adopted by adoptive parents?"

"One year."

"Why so long?" I asked curiously, if it was purely for money, then it wouldn't take so long!
"Every season they will take me to a place, someone will ask me how my life is, and someone will check me up."

As soon as I heard this, I understood that there must be relevant departments involved, so it took more than a year to adopt.

"How do you answer?"

"My adoptive father told me that those people are his friends, and I must answer that life is good, otherwise I will suffer."

"You always answer that life is very good, right?" I asked helplessly, feeling particularly uncomfortable in my heart.

"Yes."

"Actually, if you answer truthfully, you may be relieved and meet better adoptive parents." I said helplessly, but a child's mind is immature after all.

In the gradually improving social system, the return visit after adoption is an important link, and many people are working hard for it.

It is undeniable that most situations are good, but there are no absolutes in this world!

Especially for very young children, they have no ability to discern at all and are often intimidated.

Even adults will be threatened by black and evil people to make concessions and compromises, and it is impossible to ask children to protect themselves.

"Go to sleep, don't be afraid of anything, the Black Cat Sheriff will always protect you!" I smiled easily, but my heart was extremely heavy!
"Uncle, you won't send me to the orphanage, will you?"

"Yes! Don't give it away, never give it away...I swear!" I said every word very firmly, and raised three fingers to swear to the sky!

The shadow is the best warning. If I knew that there was a cliff ahead, how could I push her into it?

"Uncle, won't you sell me?" Chihiro looked at me seriously, eyes full of longing.

"No, because I'm not short of money." I opened two travel bags, which were full of looted cash.

"Will you hit me?"

"No, I never hit children, I only hit bad guys!"

"Will you let me do the dishes, mop the floor and do the laundry?"

"Won't……"

"I can do all these, just please don't hit me and don't send me away, okay?" Chihiro changed the subject, this made me feel a little sore.

A child who is only about ten years old, most of whom are still in the warm embrace as a little ancestor, but she has learned to use work in exchange for her own safety, it is really heartbreaking!

"I won't hit you, because I'm... I'm Uncle Patrol." I smiled and said this, which is the best promise.

"really?"

"Really! I will protect the children, trust me."

"Then can I see you when I wake up?"

"Of course!"

"Can you pull the hook?"

"can!"

"If the hook is hung for 100 years, it must not be changed."

"Hmm...no change."

"Uncle, why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry, my eyes were a little uncomfortable, really."

"Then let me blow it up for you."

Chihiro leaned in front of me, puffed up her small mouth and blew gently. At this moment, my heart seemed to be purified...
