flame chasing light

Twenty years ago, a young woman took a child to the south to make a living and settled in Shigu. The woman's surname is Xin, and the boy is seven years old.

Shigu is an ordinary small town in the south, with a small river flowing peacefully around the city.

Soon, the woman met a man named Li Linxi in this small town.That day, the woman went to the city to do errands. On the way back, she was robbed. Li Linxi happened to meet her. Seeing the beauty of the woman, Li Linxi became interested and helped her. Also buy things for the boy.Li Linxi has been wandering abroad for several years, and he is not young anymore. After a long time, he decided to marry this good-looking foreign woman.Seeing that he was kind to the child and wanted to give the child a complete family, the woman agreed to marry him.

After marriage, the peaceful life will not last for a few days. Li Linxi shows his face and has many bad habits. He is lazy and often vents his anger on the mother and son when he is unhappy. He is very possessive and does not allow women to talk to other men. Saying a word will summon a beating.Neighbors in the street could not help persuading them, but Li Linxi was so fierce that he often went to other people's homes to make troubles. Although the neighbors sympathized with the mother and son, in order not to offend the violent person, they chose to keep silent in the end.

At the beginning, the woman tried her best to bear it for the sake of the child, and resisted when she couldn't stand it, but every time she resisted, the result was that she was beaten more severely.As soon as Li Linxi drank, the woman asked the boy to run to the end of the street to find an uncle surnamed Hu, "Ah Xing, run away, don't let him find you." Turning his head, he was raped by Li Linxi.

The boy knew that the consequence of clenching his fist would be that his mother would be beaten even worse, so he could only stare at the gray building with the voice next to his ear, "Ah Xing, run, run quickly..."

Waking up from nightmares countless times, trying to escape countless times, my mother's eyes were dull, she just patted his head, "I can't avoid him, I accept my fate. Ah Xing, you have to run faster next time, you know what a good boy."

Every time at this time, the boy would run to Uncle Hu.Uncle Hu is a cripple who runs a sweet soup shop in the town. Once he saw Li Linxi beating his wife, he couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him and summoned Li Linxi to scold him.Uncle Hu sympathized with the hard-working mother and son, especially the boy, who was cute and well-behaved. The last time he couldn't bear to say a few words for her mother and was scolded by his stepfather, the boy came to help him after school when he had nothing to do.Uncle Hu told him several times not to come, but he shook his head, "Mom said, you are kind to us, and we want to repay you." Every day, he went to help after school as usual.Alas, I can't manage other people's affairs, so Uncle Hu often leaves him to eat sweet soup in the shop.

At that time, the only happiness for women came from boys. Children were very sensible and never caused trouble to others. The happiness of boys was when they handed the various awards they got from school to their mothers. At that time, their mother’s smile was very beautiful and reassuring. .Life is difficult, but seeing the mother's smile, the boy is supported to live silently.Until one day, his sky will collapse.

That day, when the boy came back from school, there were a bunch of people pointing at the door of his house. Seeing him pointing and blinking eyes, the boy hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, and there was a motionless mother lying on the ground, covered in blood and already breathless. .

He didn't know what happened. He ran back to the dilapidated house and smashed everything in the house. Li Linxi just told him rudely, "It was an accident, and it's all your mother's carelessness."

The mother has been taken away, and the boy sat on the ground at the intersection all night.The sky pierced through the long clouds, and the pool of blood plunged into his eyes. The boy rushed back and twisted the sleeping Li Linxi and asked loudly: "Is it you? Is it you?! You pay back my mother!"

"Little bastard, don't talk nonsense!" Li Linxi pushed him away fiercely, and slammed the door out.

The boy knew that the loss of his mother must have something to do with Li Linxi, and he must seek justice for his mother.

The mother was gone, the man didn't come home for a few days, and the boy had nowhere to go, so he had to go to Uncle Hu's. Uncle Hu took pity on him and took him in the store.Until one day, Li Linxi came to the door and waved at him from afar, but the boy didn't move.Li Linxi stepped forward and pushed him viciously, "You son of a bitch, your mother is gone, and your father is still there. Go back!"

The boy held on to the door and refused to leave, Li Linxi pointed at Uncle Hu and scolded: "Old cripple, you want to kidnap my son, I can't fucking spare you!" After speaking, he smashed the tables and chairs in the shop.

In order not to cause trouble for Uncle Hu and to find out the truth, the boy finally followed Li Linxi back to that house. He was beaten and starved for three days. Li Linxi said viciously that he was not allowed to go to school or to the old The lame man, I will help at home in the future, if he dares to run away, he will be killed.

From then on, the boy followed Li Linxi, his eyes dimmed day by day, but his heart was ruthless, he must find out the truth.Until one day, the boy discovered Li Linxi's secret.

That day, Li Linxi went out sneakily, and came back in the middle of the night, bringing back a two or three-year-old child, and threw it to the boy to take care of him.

Later, two people came to the house, a man and a woman, with foreign accents. Although they were sneaky, the boy knew from their cryptic conversations that the child was abducted by Li Linxi. Because he was involved in the crime of selling children, and now he is back in the old business, everyone in the town avoids him.

At that time, Li Linxi left the child behind and left with the man and the woman for three days. The little one didn't eat or drink, and sat on the ground crying violently. The boy had no choice but to feed the little one.

Later, Li Linxi took the child away, and the boy has never seen the child since then.

Ever since he found out that Li Linxi was selling children, the boy wanted to run away. He packed up his things several times and was discovered by Li Linxi. Li Linxi threatened him with a sneer. You took care of that child these days. You also used the money I earned. Yes, now you are my accomplice, don't try to escape, even if you escape, you will go to jail if you are caught by the police.

At that time, children of the same age were still going to the playground with their parents to enjoy the affection of their parents. The boy in his teens lost his mother and was bluffed by Li Linxi's words.

The children brought back by Li Linxi usually stay at home for a few days, and the younger ones are sold to poor mountain valleys, while the older ones are kidnapped and the children's family is notified to come and redeem them.Li Linxi felt that it was not good to ask for too much money. Some people were willing to redeem tens of thousands of dollars. Most people would choose to spend money to eliminate disasters for the sake of their children.Li Linxi said, "Tens of thousands of dollars are exchanged for the safety of my children, and their parents are already burning incense."

Most of the time, when Li Linxi brings back children, the boy will take care of them.Li Linxi forbade him to talk to the children, but only allowed him to feed them.

The boy hides secrets in his heart, is entangled in the truth of his mother's death, and is in a cage both physically and mentally.

One day, a child caught by Li Linxi escaped and was captured again. He was beaten up as usual. The boy covered his ears and hid in the corner. The little girl was tied up in the bathroom and was injured all over her body. Because she tried to escape, Li Linxi sent a message this time. He has already contacted the seller and wants to sell her to a remote mountain. There are many families in the mountain who lack children and brides. .

After Li Linxi finished the phone call, he cursed and asked the boy to cook for him.After a while, a bearded man came and took the little girl away.

The next day, the bearded man came again with bloodstains on his face, saying that the guy was really disobedient and was dealt with. Li Linxi scolded him for being stupid.

dealt with? ?The boy hid aside, trembling uncontrollably, covered his ears and closed his eyes, not wanting to see or hear, but the face of the little girl kept appearing in front of his eyes.If she had been braver, would she have been able to escape, and what would have happened to her family?It's all my fault, Xin Xing, admit it, you are actually cowardly, you can't protect anyone, not even your mother.At that moment, the boy curled up and burst into tears.

That night, when Li Linxi was drinking with the bearded man, he accidentally slipped his mouth. It turned out that the boy's mother was hit by a car because she knew that he was secretly abducting and selling the child, had a quarrel with him, and was pushed out by Li Linxi.

Li Linxi drank too much and was still cursing there. The boy hid behind the curtain, his blood boiling all over. This devil, he killed his mother.

After the bearded man left, the boy tied up Li Linxi who was drunk and unconscious.

In the early morning of the next day, the boy turned around slowly, staring at the gray and black building behind him like a wild beast, not knowing whether the man was dead or alive, it was best to die.He pressed his trembling hands, looked back, and disappeared into the land of no one.

The boy finally escaped and started a wandering life.Once, he wandered around the train station in a neighboring city for a few days and accidentally rescued a trafficked child.At that time, the situation was urgent, so he took the child and hid in the women's bathroom of the train station, and waited for the group to leave before sending the child back to his parents.

The family was going crazy when they couldn't find the child. Looking at the skinny child who sent the child back in front of them, they were extremely moved. The child was in tatters, with delicate features and stubborn and bright eyes. The couple insisted on thanking him. Knowing that his parents are gone, the couple discussed it and decided to bring him to live together.

Later, with the help of the family, the boy went back to school, but the gloomy look on his brows lingered for a long time, until one day, the family accidentally saw a piece of news.The host suppressed his doubts, and the couple continued to treat him as before until he graduated from middle school. The family was going to move abroad, and the boy was unwilling to go with them, so they had to leave him in the care of their friends.The male host even spoke to the boy earnestly.

The boy knows his situation. In the past few years, he has obtained too many things that do not belong to him. There are more good people in this world. He keeps his mother's words in mind, and cannot accept other people's kindness without guilt and pretend that he deserves it.The boy declined the couple's kindness and refused to accept their help. The boy will always remember Jiang's father, Liang, and his little brother in his heart.You have given me too much, and I should walk the road ahead by myself.

In those years, the boy never liked his name, the stars are too small, they only emit a little light, I don’t want to be a star, I want to be a flame, burn up the darkness.That year, he changed his name.

The boy he used to be has disappeared. Xin Yan entered the police academy. Since then, he has only one idea, to become a people's policeman, to redeem those gloomy past no matter the cost.The girl who didn't come back, those children who lost their parents, those who suffered misfortune like their mothers, for you, thousands of times.
