Chapter 3 The Law of Survival

After coming out of McDonald's, Xue Qushuang first put on the down jacket he just bought for Lin Xing. Lin Xing was short, and the clothes Xue Qushuang bought for her according to the height of a five-year-old child were still a bit longer, but the clothes were indeed very good, look Wearing weightless, actually wearing it on the body is like wrapping a layer of clouds, which is light and warm.

Lin Xing had a very early memory, and since then no one has cared about her. It was good enough for her uncle and aunt to give her a bite of food so that she would not starve to death. She used all the old things left by relatives and neighbors for her clothes. Xue Qushuang was the first one. Thinking about Lin Xing's food and clothing, and about the people she was injured, Lin Xing was wearing the clothes that Xue Qushuang bought for her, her eyes were hot, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, and felt that the gentle big sister in front of her was a good person.

Of course, Xu Xiwan didn't come here specially for Lin Xing. She had other projects to discuss in this city, so it was just a matter of chance to find Lin Xing.The project was almost settled, only some minor details were left to Xue Qushuang to deal with, so Xu Xiwan took Lin Xing back to Jinling first, Xue Qushuang took care of all the chores here, and went back in a few days.

Xu Xiwan is beautiful, and he doesn't seem like a good person to get along with. Xue Qushuang sent them to the security checkpoint, and Lin Xing had to follow Xu Xiwan for the rest of the way. Lin Xing didn't dare to be careless and watched Xu Xi closely. Xiwan, afraid that she would lose her footsteps, finally boarded the plane out of breath. She lowered her head and followed Xu Xiwan's heels wholeheartedly, but Xu Xiwan suddenly stopped. on the legs.

Xu Xiwan looked back at Lin Xing, his eyes were complicated, not pure contempt or disgust, Lin Xing didn't quite understand, so he smiled flatteringly at Xu Xiwan.

Lin Xing is an obedient and sensible child, sometimes a little too sensible, which even makes her look like a philistine, for example, she always unconsciously pleases adults.

Xu Xiwan didn't say anything, turned his eyes away, pointed to a seat by the window and said lightly: "You sit there." After speaking, he sat down in the next seat, fastened his seat belt, took out a book and started to read, no longer Guan Linxing.Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, imitating what Xu Xiwan did just now, sat down and fastened his seat belt.

Lin Xing is quiet, doesn't cry or make trouble, when no one pays attention to her, she can sit by herself for a whole day without moving, such a child is easily ignored by others, Xu Xiwan still remembers when she just boarded the plane I brought a child by myself, and then I focused on reading, and forgot that I brought Lin Xing with me, I just thought that there was an empty seat next to me.

It was the first time for Lin Xing to fly on a plane. When the plane took off, his ears were stuffy and swollen, which was very uncomfortable. He had to cover his ears and close his eyes. He endured it for a while, and felt much better when the plane stabilized.Lin Xing knew that she was already several thousand meters above the ground at this time. She had never had such an experience before. She found it novel and interesting, so she put her face on the window, wanting to see what the outside of the plane looks like. Is it really possible? See clouds.

It's a pity that they flew at [-] o'clock in the evening. The cabin was well-lit, but it was dark outside. Lin Xing could only see his own reflection in the glass, and couldn't see the scenery outside the window at all.She lay down against the window for a long time without giving up, until her neck was sore and she still couldn't see anything, then she sat upright in disappointment.

She is used to looking for fun on her own, but she is afraid of being noticed by others. She is happier when no one pays attention to her. She plays with the Donald Duck toy that Xue Qushuang gave her by herself. After playing for a while, her frostbite flares up again. She takes out the frostbite ointment and squeezes it out. Smear a little on yourself.

Where are you going to be taken?What will the future hold?Lin Xing looked at the box of chilblain ointment in a daze, thinking about it.She didn't even know the name of the beautiful woman sitting next to her.

Take one step at a time.

She had experienced so many things that day, she was already tired, and after sitting for a while, she began to doze off like a chicken pecking rice, and finally she tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.

When the plane was about to land, Xu Xiwan put away the book, turned his stiff neck, glanced at Lin Xing inadvertently, was slightly startled, and then remembered that he did not come back alone, she also brought a child with her.

This child is called Lin Xing, and she is Lin Ling's daughter. Except for a surname that is the same as Lin Ling, there is nothing like Lin Ling in her whole body. Even when she sleeps, she maintains her cautiousness. Xu Xiwan is tired of seeing her.

Xu Xiwan reached out and patted Lin Xing on the shoulder, Lin Xing woke up with a jolt, and looked at Xu Xiwan in confusion.

"It's almost there." Xu Xiwan said.

Lin Xing nodded. She was still dozing off. She covered her mouth and yawned, but she didn't make a sound. She rubbed her dirty hands on her face a few times until her face turned red before driving away the drowsiness. She waited quietly. Landing.When Lin Xing landed, there was another burst of pain in Lin Xing's ears. Fortunately, she already had an experience and covered her ears in time.

It was already late at night when we arrived at Jinling, and the driver Xue Qushuang had contacted in advance had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu Xiwan coming out with Lin Xing, he immediately picked them up in the car. The back seat was very dark, and Lin Xing began to feel drowsy again, but This time, not daring to fall asleep again, the chicken pecked at the rice and pecked all the way. It was so sleepy that it couldn't stand it, so it pinched its own thigh until one o'clock in the morning, and the driver finally stopped. Lin Xing thought, this is probably the final destination .

Xu Xiwan is currently living in a fairly ordinary mid-range community. The location is good and the facilities in the community are not bad. In the eyes of the family, this place is probably similar to a slum.

The Xu family is the largest family in Jinling. They have an old house that has been passed down for a hundred years. It occupies the best place in the suburbs of Jinling.

It stands to reason that Xu Xiwan is from the Xu family, and should live in the Xu family's house, but she was born in a wrong family, and grew up outside with her mother, and was taken back to the Xu family by her father when she was 15 years old. Madam has a strong personality, and when she heard that Xu Xi was being taken back to Xu's house at night, there was a commotion.

Bringing back a 15-year-old illegitimate daughter for no reason is not a fair thing at all, and Mrs. Xu interfered in it, so the matter of Xu Xi's late recognition of his ancestors and returning to his clan was left as it is, and he failed to enter the family tree. Naturally, there was no place for her in the family house, and Xu's father didn't want to take care of Xu Xiwan at first, so he sent her abroad to study soon after.

Xu Xi had only been back to Jinling for less than half a year, so he could only find a temporary foothold here.

From a certain point of view, Xu Xiwan and Lin Xing are actually very similar.

It's all unwanted.

This residence is really nothing to Xu Xiwan, but to Lin Xing, it is already a paradise.

Upstairs, Xu Xi opened the door late and entered the house, put the key on the shoe cabinet in the entrance at random, went back to his bedroom and changed into comfortable home clothes, forgot to greet Lin Xing, when he came out, he saw Lin Xing still standing on the threshold Outside.

Lin Xing hesitated outside the door, not sure if he was allowed to enter.

The shoes on her feet were torn and sloppy, and the soles of both shoes were worn out. She carefully observed the environment inside the house through the open security door. Xu Xiwan's house was bright and spotless, and even the floor tiles were shiny. , so clean that Lin Xing was nervous.

Xu Xiwan supported the door, "Come in."

Lin Xing took a few steps back and shook his head, "It will stain the floor."

In Lin Xing's perception, if you get dirty, you will be beaten. The broom, the rolling pin, or the badly worn belt on your uncle's waist, no matter which one greets you, it will hurt your body. Lin Xingguang thinks about it She was so scared that she dared not do such a thing anyway.

"As you wish." Xu Xiwan didn't understand the childish thoughts in Lin Xing's mind, she only used one method to deal with children - to scare.So she left Lin Xing alone, turned around and went back to the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and then walked to the entrance again, threatening, "If you don't come in, I'll close the door."

Lin Xing still shook his head, not daring to go in.

Xu Xiwan didn't have the patience to coax her, seeing that she really wouldn't come in, he slammed the door behind him, shutting Lin Xing out.

Facing the closed door, Lin Xing stood at a loss for a while, and even the voice-activated lights in the corridor went out soon after.Xu Xiwan would probably not open the door again, Lin Xing moved his legs to the door, leaned his back against the wall, and sat down cross-legged.

Late at night in severe winter, the windows at both ends of the corridor were open, and the cold wind was blowing in. Lin Xing put on his hat, covered his legs with the overlong hem of his down jacket, put his little hands in his sleeves, and took a nap against the wall.It wasn't the first time she slept in the hallway, and she had already summed up a set of methods to avoid getting sick as much as possible.

Lin Xing is too young to fully understand the world of adults. In fact, she doesn't really understand which of her actions are right and which are wrong. She just summed up a set of ways to live as much as possible through repeated insults and beatings. To get more comfortable experience, eat less food, talk less, appear less in front of adults, and when you have to appear, try to disguise yourself as a transparent person. In short, it is to attract less attention from others. Beaten and scolded.

This is the survival rule of the weak Lin Xing.

Lin Xing seldom had the opportunity to communicate with others. She even learned how to speak from the TV. No one knew that she still couldn't speak well.

Nobody cared anyway.

For Lin Xing, speaking is not a necessary survival skill, on the contrary, keeping quiet can make his life easier.

Even in a top bustling city like Jinling, it is very quiet at night, especially in the depths of winter, when you can’t even hear the chirping of insects around. You have to listen carefully to hear the occasional cars speeding on the distant road. A faint sound passed by.

The cold wind and low temperature at night, the down jacket can't bear it, Lin Xing's body is getting colder and colder, she tries her best to shrink herself into a small ball, but her hands and feet are still getting colder and colder.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, you won't feel cold when you fall asleep.

In the dark night, Lin Xing huddled in front of Xu Xiwan's house without moving. From a distance, he looked like a bulging garbage bag.
