hold you in my arms tonight
Chapter 2
Jiang Min couldn't hear the child's cry.She was engaged in special business in the early years, and she was pregnant with several children, all of which were lost. Later, she could no longer have children.As soon as she heard the child crying, she became upset, and when she was upset, she beat someone.
Xie Yuan received several slaps from her, and his face immediately became swollen.
When Yang Neng saw Xie Yuan for the first time, he was overjoyed and said that he would contact the buyer as soon as possible. Although he was a bit older, such a handsome and expensive boy would definitely be able to sell for a good price.
Xie Yuan was locked in the room. In the same room, there was the girl who was twitching and drooling at the corner of her mouth. The six or seven-year-old girl was skinny and looked only three or four years old.
The girl's name was Xiaoye, which was given by Yang Neng, who said she was a wild child that no one wanted.In addition to Ono, there was another boy who was slightly older. There was nothing unusual about his upper body, but his lower body was deformed. His left foot was longer than his right, and he walked very strangely.His name is Aguai.
Yang Neng, who was busy contacting the buyer, received a call from Chong'an. This time, Jiang Min took Xie Yuan to meet the buyer.
It was a middle-aged infertile couple. The woman was very happy when she saw Xie Yuan and kept praising him for being so handsome.
The woman squatted down and wanted to get close to the child but was avoided. She smiled and asked: "What's your name, go to the new house with mother, okay?"
Xie Yuan said, "My name is Xie Yuan."
The woman asked the name just casually, she knew that children of seven or eight years old could remember something more or less, but when she heard the child speak so clearly, she felt a little uneasy.
She asked again: "Where do you live? Who is your father?"
Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "My family is in Yun District, in the imperial capital, and my father is Mr. Xie."
People in these small places have never heard of the Yun District. They don't know that it is the most famous wealthy district in the imperial capital, and the people who live in the Yun District are all wealthy families who can be named in the upper circles of the imperial capital.
The middle-aged woman hesitated and looked at her husband.
The man thought for a while and said to Jiang Min: "We dare not ask for this, he remembers things."
Jiang Min panicked, and she quickly coaxed Xie Yuan: "You child, remember, your name is not Xie Yuan. In the future, your new parents will give you a new name, and your family is not from any special place!"
"My name is Xie Yuan, and my home is Yunqu," said the child.
The couple left disappointed, Jiang Min angrily pinched Xie Yuan's shoulder and hit him on the shoulder, angrily said: "Your name is not Xie Yuan!"
The child is stubborn: "My name is Xie Yuan, and my father is Mr. Xie..."
Jiang Min continued to hit him, and every time she hit him, she asked him again, and when he said once, she hit him harder.
"My name is Xie Yuan..."
Xie Yuan was in great pain. Even if his mother didn't like him since he was a child, he wouldn't hit him. He had never been in such pain like today, but he couldn't lie, and he couldn't forget his name.
Jiang Min beat him until his hand hurt, so he took him home.Later, I found a buyer several times, but they all refused to have such a big and memorized child.
Such a big child couldn't be sold, so Jiang Min took it out on him, gave him something to eat every meal, and left the three children in the dampest room.
Ono and Aguai can earn some money by begging every day, but Jiang Min feeds them leftovers every day.Even so, they still distributed their food to Xie Yuan every day.
This dilapidated old house is the place where the sunshine of Liucheng cannot shine, it is another dark world.
One day, Jiang Xun also fell into this quagmire.
"Losing money!" Yang Neng was very angry after hearing what Jiang Min said about Xie Yuan. After scolding Xie Yuan, he didn't look good towards Jiang Xun, cursing, "Both of them are losing money!"
Listening to him scolding more and more ugly, the two children feel a little numb after so much.They just looked into each other's eyes, neither of them said a word.
At dinner, Jiang Xun met two other partners, Ono and Aguai.
Ah Guai was kicked into the house by Jiang Min, and Ono, who entered the door behind, shivered and did not speak.
Jiang Min kicked him several times in a puzzled manner, cursing and saying: "Little bastard only eats every day, why do you need so little money these days? Your legs are ugly and weird, not because many people have noticed. Is it? How come the money you want is not as much as that little fool?"
The little fool, Ono, dared not speak, and even dared not help the monster.But Jiang Xun, who had just arrived, dared, and when he went to help Ah Guai, he even patted the dust off his trousers, and said in a childish voice: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
"These two crippled ones can still make money at least, so what should we do about these two?" Jiang Min was asking Yang Neng, who was eating, and she was not in the right mind, so she asked tentatively, "How about...we take them... ... deal with it?"
Both Jiang Xun and Xie Yuan couldn't understand what it meant to deal with it, but the older Ah Guai understood that this unscrupulous woman planned to mutilate the two new brothers so that they could be sent outside to beg.
Yang Neng's eyes rolled on Jiang Xun's body, thinking about his abacus. After a long time, he took a sip of wine and said, "Let's not talk about that little bastard, this Jiang Xun is my sister's only child... Old Yang He looked down on me back then, but at least he gave me a bite to eat, and I made his grandson like this, so it’s not easy to see him when we go down.”
Jiang Min sneered: "You are thinking about his mother. Didn't you say that his mother is beautiful, and she is a famous beauty, so you have to take good care of her son for her."
"Fart," Yang Neng was a little annoyed, "That dead woman doesn't like me, and I don't care about her either."
Yang Neng drank for a while and said: "You don't know, there is almost no good land in the northern city of Chong'an. Everyone in a radius of a hundred miles is dead, and he is the only one alive. This is fate, and natural disasters are not Take him, I..."
"Life is really hard," Jiang Min looked down at Jiang Xun, and said, "The earthquake in Chong'an killed tens of thousands, and so many people didn't escape. It's really strange that such a child is alive and well."
"Forget my good deeds, let him go," Yang Neng still seemed to feel a little pity, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to make money, but if he really wanted to get this child with his own hands, the memory of Yang Lan buying him toys when he was young would still appear in his mind screen.
"What about this one?" Jiang Min pointed to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan took a step back under Yang Neng's scrutinizing gaze. He was very scared and grabbed the corner of Jiang Xun's clothes who he didn't know next to him.Although they didn't know each other at this time, Jiang Xun still shook his hand back. The two insecure people were trying their best to reassure each other.
"If you can't sell it, and if you don't get it, ask for money. We will keep it?" Jiang Min smiled. "Yang Neng, do you think we two are philanthropists?"
Yang Neng ignored her, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided: "These two won't ask for money. This Liucheng Railway Station is only this big. There are usually more people than Ah Wei Xiaoye, and they ask for money." I don't know how much money I got. Let these two... steal."
Jiang Min thought for a while and said, "They don't know how, how much can they steal?"
Yang Neng had a plan: "Isn't Chen San at the entrance of the alley a pickpocket? I'll treat him to a few good drinks, and I'll let him learn something with him. These two are handsome and well-behaved, and they dress cleanly. The people coming and going at the train station are so unguarded against them, maybe they will pay back the money faster than those two disabled people!"
Just as Jiang Min was about to say something, Xie Yuan said, "I don't steal. My grandfather said that those who steal are thieves!"
Yang Neng hit him with a chicken bone, and cursed: "The child knows nothing, what kind of thief? This is my business! I can't get any money, you four go drink the northwest wind!"
Jiang Xun also said: "I will not be a thief!"
Yang Neng was about to scold, but Jiang Min moved first. She dragged a child into the backyard with one hand, and threw it in the innermost room. Wait a few days and see if you still say that."
Jiang Min went back to the outhouse to eat, and put the leftover rotten rice and cabbage soup on the ground in the backyard. This was the dinner for Ono and Ah Kuai.
Jiang Minfang made too much movement and spilled a lot of soup. She threatened the two of them in a bad tone: "This is your meal. If anyone dares to secretly leave food for the two bastards inside, my mother promises that you will even drink your saliva tomorrow." not on."
There was meat and wine on the dining table in the outhouse. In the hut in the backyard, Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun held each other's hands. Both of them had been hungry for a long time.So hungry that the two children cried out.
Ah Guai and Xiaoye in the yard have long been used to it and are numb. They eat with their hands without bowls and chopsticks, but when the crying inside becomes hoarse, their eyes flicker for a moment.
Dumb from crying and exhausted from hunger, Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun sat in the corner silently for a long time.The light in the yard came in from the window, and Xie Yuan's eyes fell on Jiang Xun.
In the dark, the two children began to chat.
"what's your name?"
"Jiang Xun. What about you?"
"Xie Yuan."
"How old are you?"
"Eight years old, I will be in the second grade next semester, and my grades are very good." Jiang Xun said and laughed.
"I am also eight years old, we are the same age," Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "But I never went to school, I have a teacher at home."
There is not much difference in age, but they are too young to know when they were born, so they never know who is older than whom.
The night in Liucheng was a bit cold, Xie Yuan was afraid of the cold, especially the cold, he approached Jiang Xun and said, "Jiang Xun, if we get closer, it won't be so cold."
Jiang Xun didn't speak, he missed his parents very much at this time, and felt even more sad when he thought that he would not have parents in the future.
He suddenly remembered that he had been driving for a long time the day he left Chong'an, and he was already too far away from home.
"Jiang Xun, let's go to bed quickly, we won't be so hungry and not so cold when we fall asleep," Xie Yuan said.
After one night, Jiang Min stood by the window and asked, "Do you want to make money?"
Xie Yuan said, "I don't steal anything!"
Jiang Min was rarely angry: "Well, not bad."
Then walked away on stiletto heels.
Xie Yuan grabbed Jiang Xun's clothes and asked, "Jiang Xun, we don't want to be thieves, right?"
Jiang Xun nodded, but after a while, he spoke weakly: "Xie Yuan, I'm so hungry...I'm really hungry..."
Xie Yuan wanted to comfort him, but after thinking for a long time, he could only say: "Me too, I'm very hungry too. But I still don't want to be a thief. My grandfather said that a thief is a bad person. That fat aunt is also a bad person, and that uncle is also a bad person." .”
"Jiang Xun, let's bear with it." Xie Yuan said.
Xie Yuan received several slaps from her, and his face immediately became swollen.
When Yang Neng saw Xie Yuan for the first time, he was overjoyed and said that he would contact the buyer as soon as possible. Although he was a bit older, such a handsome and expensive boy would definitely be able to sell for a good price.
