Fifteen followed Xiao Qi, it was snowing, the snow on the ground had already accumulated a thick layer, after being run over by carts and horses, there was yellow mud in the white, when stepping on it, the snow water would seep through the shoes He got in through the hole, soaking his feet cold.

"Xiao Qi." Fifteen pulled a corner of Xiao Qi's tattered clothes from behind, his lips turned white from the cold, and shivered, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Xiaoqi tilted his head, smiled and grabbed Fifteen's hand holding his clothes into his palm, and said softly: "Fifteen doesn't want to do things according to those bad guys, which shows that Fifteen is a real person. You are really a good boy. But, fifteenth, you must also remember that a good boy must first learn to protect himself. Those bad guys are watching us very closely now, we can only wait for the opportunity."

"What are you muttering about, hurry up and go, I won't kill you two little bastards later." A black-skinned ferocious man behind him spat and cursed, and was about to hit him with a wave of the thing in his hand.

Xiao Qiyi pulled fifteen, pulled him who was originally behind him, and hugged him tightly. He was hit hard on the back, on the butterfly bone, but he only dared to bite his lip and groaned. The burly man half taller than him was still yelling.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, took Shiwu's hand and walked quickly, towards the damp and dark basement in the distance.

"Today is Christmas Eve. I originally planned not to beat people today. You two are unlucky. You both asked for it." The leader of the human trafficker was picking and choosing among the sticks beside him, weighing how handy he was.

With a thud, Xiaoqi immediately knelt down on the ground, "Boss, Shiwu just came here and is not sensible, he didn't run away on purpose."

"Oh." The leader picked up a thick stick with an arm, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said slowly, "Fifteen is not sensible, but you are not sensible with him, are you going to run with him today? ?"

Under the other party's stare, Xiao Qi trembled in fright, and hurriedly crawled to the ground and kowtowed, "Boss, I don't have it, I really don't. Boss——"

Xiao Qi was kicked to the ground by another person, unable to get up for a long time.

"Please, don't hit us." Fifteen cried out in fright, crying more and more fiercely, "Don't hit us, I won't run away, I won't dare to run again, please... please you……"

Several adult bosses present glanced at each other, one of them bent down and lifted Fifteen, and slapped him on the small face, "I made you cry..." The slap didn't stop, and another slap, "Let me you cry……"

Xiao Qi got up from the ground, grabbed the man's leg, tried to hold back the tears in his eyes, and choked up, "We know we were wrong, we don't dare anymore, please, don't beat me up!" , we really knew we were wrong..."

"You really don't dare?" The leader who had originally picked the guy finally picked it, and walked over and looked down at him, "If you don't dare, just kneel down."

Xiao Qi hurriedly nodded and knelt up straight, and the second he knelt up, the stick was slapped on his back wrapped in the cold winter wind, making him lean forward and lie on the ground.

"Kneel down." When Xiao Qi shuddered and knelt up again, the boss asked with a smile while beating: "Have you got a long memory?"

Xiao Qi cried, "It's grown."

It was another stick, and the leader continued to smile and asked: "Is it really long?"

The embankment in the eye socket finally collapsed, Xiao Qi bit his mouth desperately, the blood on his lips was biting, "It's really long."

"Woo... woo... woo... Xiaoqi..." The man over there continued to slap Shiwu.

"Oh, it's so noisy." At some point, on the sofa in the corner, a woman sat up from it, straightened her clothes, and said disgustedly: "When are you dead men going to fight, and agreed to take us today?" The sisters are going to eat and drink."

"Hey, you're lucky!"

The leader kicked Xiaoqi away. As soon as he said this, the man who was slapped stopped and swept around ferociously. The other children who were curled up in the corner shrank to death as if seeing a wolf. Tight, wishing to shrink himself into the gap that he couldn't see.

The other men who sat on the side smoked leisurely, and occasionally looked at this side and smiled.

Little Seven and Fifteen were dragged by the vicious dog from left to right and thrown into a small room in the basement, where they were locked. Before leaving, they kicked the door panel and walked away cursing.

In the dim room, the two children were lying on the ground, neither of them could speak, only felt the pain, besides the pain all over the body, even the icy cold soaked into the bone marrow became insignificant at this moment.

The light faded little by little, replaced by darkness.

I don't know how long it took, Xiaoqi slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes several times, turned his head to look, and Shiwu was lying quietly beside him. He stretched out his hand and held the other's hand. My own is smaller and easier to hold.Feeling that Shiwu's hand was clenched slightly under his palm, Xiaoqi turned his head and stared at the darkness above his head in a daze.

On Christmas Eve, they were not safe.

Lying in the small room in a daze, time passed extremely slowly, like a sticky and clogged stinky ditch.

"Fifteen, do you remember what I said when I came back on the snow?" Xiao Qi looked at the still dark roof and said softly.

Fifteen clenched his fists, "A good boy must learn to protect himself first."

"That's right, Fifteen is really smart."

The sky gradually ushered in the light of a new day in such a slow silence, the night receded, and a faint light penetrated through the gap in the door panel in the small room.

In the corner, Xiaoqi and Shiwu huddled together, sleeping deeply.

"Fifteen, run!"

Spring returns to the earth, under the bright sunshine, the breeze blows gently, the ice and snow on the river gradually melt, the weeping poplar sprouts new buds, and everything recovers from the severe cold.

A few skinny children kept running between heaven and earth, running, as if if they didn't run faster, they would be abandoned by the god of spring and fall into the severe winter again.

Xiao Qi ran in the front, followed by Fifteen, and there were two or three small children behind. They all had different looks and had nothing in common, but they all had the same vision and desire for the future.Everyone is very tired, but no one dares to stop and take a rest. The devil is still chasing after him, and the weak can only keep running, keep running, and the only hope is to move forward.

When Xiaoqi didn't know how many times he turned back and called, this time he didn't see anyone, and the friends who were in trouble while running had long since disappeared and scattered all over the world.

Today is Christmas Eve.

Li Xi waited downstairs in Wu Bing's unit early.He has a secret, but he doesn't intend to tell Wu Bing, he just wants to hide it deep in his heart, let it grow more branches and green leaves, and trap this person in it forever.

"What are you looking at? Brother Tengu."

In the speeding car, the driver looked at a person in the rear through the rearview mirror.This man was wearing a white Tang suit, with long black hair tied casually with a red string. He had a young and handsome face, but he liked to call himself an old man.Originally, the expression of the old god was present, but after looking out the window just now, it turned into a face full of shock.

As if Tiangu didn't hear this, he turned around and looked downstairs from the rear glass of the car. After seeing a person walking out of the door of the building, another young man came out of the car parked there. The young man said something with a smile.

Tengu turned back, the expression on his face returned to the presence of the old god, leisurely leaned on the soft seat of the back seat, and said inscrutably: "Look at an old friend and a child."

"Well, how old? How young?"

Tengu raised a strand of hair and slowly twirled it between his fingers playfully, his gaze began to grow far away, "A very old, very old friend, and a very new, very new friend."
