Pure White Core

On the way home from school, the wind blew dust and snow into my neck, I grabbed my mother's hand and shook violently: "Mom!"

"Huh?" My mother lowered her head and squinted at me with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Can I not sleep at home tonight?" My legs and feet were weak.

"Then where do you want to go?" She took a puff on her cigarette, "Huh?"

"My stomach is very uncomfortable. Can you take me to the hospital?" I have nowhere to go. I can't go to Huihui's house. Li Huihui was arrested together; I can't leave my mother at home with me, she can't go to work because of my temper, even if she doesn't work and stays with me at home, will the three thugs hurt her?Those are not people, but beasts and beasts that eat people. I don't have the guts to gamble with my mother's safety.

I can't call the police, not only because we don't have a phone, but also because it's hard for anyone to believe the nonsense of a seven-year-old child, and because I doubt whether I can take the police to the abandoned air-raid shelter to see the "slaughterhouse" ?

When I disappeared for a few days before and reappeared, I cried and told them to go to the air-raid shelter, but no one believed me. The kind police officer Huang even specifically warned me that the matter was over and I was not allowed to mention it again, otherwise I would have big troubles. trouble.

I went back to the air-raid shelter secretly later, and it has completely collapsed, but the unpleasant stench is still lingering and has not completely dissipated.

The so-called "child abducting and trafficking" gangs did not have any clues from the beginning to the end, and those 'missing' children just disappeared. Everything made me unable to muster up the courage to call the police.

All I can do is find a way to go to the hospital and run away. As long as my mother can't find me, I don't have to go home, I won't be locked up, and I won't be taken away...

"Where does it hurt? I'll take you to the clinic at our intersection."

"No, Mom, I want to go to the hospital. The hospital is next to the school. It's very close now!" I wanted to drag my mother to the hospital. I thought that only by going to the hospital would I have a chance to escape. The clinic only had one room, so I couldn't escape.Mainly my lack of self-confidence in my seven-year-old body, I don't think I can successfully escape from my mother in her 20s.

If I am locked at home tonight and my mother is not at home tomorrow, it is almost certain that I will be kidnapped while locked at home, which makes me shudder.

"Hospitals are expensive, so are clinics. Be obedient." My mother couldn't help but grabbed my arm and pulled me home. Huihui followed me behind and asked me in a low voice, "Yu Shaorong, are you feeling well?"

"No, I was uncomfortable just now, but now I am comfortable." I was very frustrated.

I still didn't go to the clinic in the end, our family doesn't have much money, I can't spend money that doesn't make sense.

When I was eating, I was absent-minded, and all I could think about was if I broke the window and escaped to escape the first day of the first day of the junior high school, in case those people came back next time, would I be able to escape the fifteenth day.I didn't believe there was a reason why those people had to kill me, but I couldn't afford to bet even if there was an eventuality.

If tomorrow, as in my memory, I was kidnapped by someone who broke into the door, then I can still survive in the same way as before. Everyone will die, but I will live.

But if I escape tomorrow and change what happened originally, if I get caught again, can I still get my life back?

My mother hit me on the head with chopsticks: "Eat, why are you in a daze?"

"Hmm." I lowered my head and put the rice and mustard greens into my mouth.

I won't be able to eat for days after tomorrow, and I need to store energy and energy.

After dinner, my mother put on her makeup and went out, leaving me to lie on a small bed made of wood and bricks and bake pancakes repeatedly. I even thought of going under my mother's bed to uncover the floor tiles and take away the money in the plastic bag , and then smashed open the window and pried off the rusty guardrail and flew away, but that was the money my mother prepared for us to buy a house. Where can I go with such a large amount of money when I am seven years old?

The wind with large snowflakes was howling outside the window, the TV signal was not very good, and the electric current was loud, and I was thinking wildly about the possibility of pouring a puddle of water on the ground, and then throwing the wire to electrocute those who arrested me, and the conclusion I got It's just as unreliable.

All I can do is tell myself over and over again that I will definitely not die, rehearse what will happen tomorrow night in my mind again and again, and try my best to make no mistakes and survive.

I didn’t close my eyes until the rooster crowed. I was sleepy, but I couldn’t fall asleep. When I closed my eyes, all I saw were grotesque plaques and swirling swirls in the darkness. I had no memory of my own death. I can't be calm in front of it.

In the morning, the wind was much lower. I melted the leftover miscellaneous sauce noodle ice cubes from the night before yesterday with boiling water on the small electric stove, and ate them with pickled mustard and steamed buns. Huihui stepped on a coal bag outside the door and picked them on the window look.She knew I couldn't go out, so she just stayed there with me.

"Yu Shaorong, do you read Huahuashu?" Huihui held onto the iron bars of the anti-theft window, squeezed her head in the middle with a worn-out warm hat, like a small reform-through-labour prisoner.

"I don't want to read it." We both read her Doraemon book ten thousand times, and we got tired of it.

"Then Yu Shaorong, do you want candy?"

"You have?" I squatted on the ground and poked the noodles in the small pot with chopsticks, squinting at her.

"No." She answered naturally.

"..." Then what a fart you are asking.

"Yu Shaorong, I planted flowers in a Wahaha bottle, do you want to see it?" Huihui still didn't give up, holding on to the iron rod.

"Ang." I wondered where she would go to find flower seeds in the cold winter months.

The sound of trampling outside went away, and came back after a while, and the hands in brown woolen gloves climbed up the iron window again. This time, besides a head, there was also a plastic vial with the bottle top cut off. Dirt, poke a peeled garlic.

"My grandfather said this is a narcissus. Although it looks like a garlic, it actually wants to bloom. It can be white or fragrant!"

Pull it down quickly, I just know that when her 'flower seedlings' grow out, I will have seasoning for noodles.

"Smell it, there is a scent of daffodils when you smell it carefully." Huihui smelled it intoxicated by herself, and then handed it back with a refreshed look.

"Don't worry, I have a cold. I can't smell it when my nose is blocked." The noodle soup in the small pot was already boiling. I poured the noodle into an enamel bowl and squatted on the sofa to eat it.

"Huihui, Huihui! Let's go!" The old man's voice came from outside the window.

"Ang! Here we come!" Huihui waved at me: "Yu Shaorong and my grandfather went out to sell goods, and I will play with you when I come back!" Then she jumped off the coal bag and ran away.

Huihui's grandfather sells fried peanuts and melon seeds on the street outside the theater every day. The theater staff also sell small snacks inside, which are expensive. The old man robbed them of a lot of business, and there were often disputes and quarrels.Grandpa Huihui died of illness when I was in the fifth grade, and Huihui was taken to the county orphanage. Since then, I have never been to school again, and there is no news of her disappearing.

After I was full, I rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find scotch tape, and then tied the small vise against the meat to the inner thigh. The cold metal stuck to the leg made me shiver.It can pinch thin wires. I need it to open and close my iron cage. I wear thick pants in winter.

Then there was another long wait. I didn't even think about hiding a knife on my body. My family didn't have a small knife for me to hide on my body. There were also many people in the air-raid shelter. It didn't make any sense for me to bring a knife in.Amidst the noise of the TV, the light in the room slowly dimmed, and I tried my best to restore the scene at that time according to my memory.

The bright yellow light, the snowflakes falling outside the window, the ticking alarm clock... I squatted on the sofa, quietly waiting for the nightmare to come.

The sound of deliberately suppressed messy footsteps sounded in the alley outside the door, followed by the sound of the door lock being flipped and then removed, and then the door was pushed open, and two middle-aged men in warm hats jumped in and sat there stunned. On the sofa, I covered my mouth and strangled my neck with my arms to get out. I struggled frantically in front of the arm that was as hard as pig iron, but it didn't work at all.

I don't want to cry, but I know I have to cry, I have to struggle and cry like other kids who got caught to not notice the difference, the man who covered my mouth was so hard it almost strangled me Suffocated, I can only do my best to stay awake, while trying to breathe through the small gap left by his hand, I can't pass out.

In this era in our small county, motorcycles are a status symbol. A beautiful bicycle can go everywhere and attract everyone's attention. The three middle-aged men who captured me did not have any means of transportation. Walking through the small alleys in the dark, I could smell the strong smell of dry smoke and earthy smell from the person who hugged me.

In the small county town in winter, few people go out after dark. There are no street lights on the street, and it is pitch black everywhere. No one notices how many children are kidnapped by people in a hurry in the night in primitive and funny ways.

The big mouth of the dilapidated air-raid shelter was like a devil's throat, and the three of them walked into the darkness with ease. The flashlight was on, and the stench that I remembered began to appear, and it became stronger and stronger as they went forward.

After a few turns and forks, an empty warehouse illuminated by braziers and candles appeared in front of my eyes. There were more than a dozen large and small iron cages on the ground in the corner and the smell of the dark brown moist soil around the brazier in the middle made people sick. The wire cages used to raise chickens and rabbits are now stuffed with curled up figures, some weeping softly, and some lying motionless inside, not knowing whether they are dead or alive.

I told myself not to look at the shelf next to the wall on the other side, but I still couldn't help taking a look. It was a wooden shelf that you can often see hanging sheep in the market. Three thick iron hooks were tied to it. Half of the white things were hanging on the iron hook on the left, and the uncoagulated blood was still dripping down the toes. I closed my eyes tightly, shaking like a chaff sieve.

Surrounded by the brazier were seven or eight tall and low men and women. It was easy to tell from the style and color of their clothes that they were not from the county town, but from nearby villages.

"Caught another one?" The woman in the green turban said in the local village vernacular: "Put it in here." While kicking the innermost small iron cage, the frame is made of steel bars as thick as a pinky finger, and the frame is made of fine iron cages. The barbed wire was wrapped into a cage, and I was forced into the small door before I could struggle, and I could barely squat, unable to straighten my waist.

"Baby, don't bark, you know?" The woman in the turban smiled at me with a mouthful of yellow teeth: "See the one hanging over there? If you bark, hang up your baby later."

I didn't have the courage to look at her, so I could only try to shrink myself into a small ball. I have to be thankful that I am very thin to be locked in the smallest cage in the corner. No matter what, I must survive.
