Chapter 7 ant disaster
Why hasn't the train left yet?Sun Yimin was a little restless on the train, she had to get out of here as soon as possible.Her eyes anxiously looked at the platform for a while, and the aisle of the carriage for a while, and whenever a uniform passed by, she would tremble unconsciously.Just as Sun Yimin's eyes were scanning back and forth, she suddenly trembled slightly involuntarily.I saw a cute little boy standing on the platform not far from the train. The boy looked about four or five years old, with white skin and big eyes. He held a lollipop that was almost finished in his hand, and he put it in his mouth to suck from time to time.Sun Yimin stared at the boy, her eyes seemed unable to move.The boy took away the lollipop he was sucking, and grinned. A few small black ants slowly crawled out of his mouth, nostrils, and ear holes, and more and more ants crawled , The boy's lips were festered and opened, like a black bottomless pit... Sun Yimin clasped her hands tightly to her chest, she was afraid that her heart would jump out of her mouth.The train finally moved slowly. The little boy on the platform fell backwards slowly as the train moved. The little boy raised his hand holding the lollipop and waved it. The skin on his hand seemed to be so dark that it was about to Fester like.The train was getting faster and faster, and the platform and the scary little boy on the platform were left far behind.
Sun Yimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest lightly, and was about to turn her eyes to the inside of the train.
Suddenly, a voice broke Sun Yimin's daze, and Sun Yimin hurriedly looked up.She froze.A small hand grabbed her sleeve, and a boy's childish voice sounded beside her: "Auntie, I want candy."
Zhu Zi stood outside the small street shop, making a phone call. "The phone you dialed has been turned off." The cold mechanical voice of the computer repeated a sentence repeatedly.
Zhu Zi has called this number several times, but each time he only hears the cold mechanical voice of the computer.Why shut down?Zhuzi was so anxious that she shed tears. Amin was the fastest to answer the phone every time. Why has the phone been turned off these days?
Amin is a good sister of Zhuzi.
When Zhu Zi and her migrant husband came to this unfamiliar big city, the first person they met was Amin.Amin is a city resident, very enthusiastic, and she always gives advice on things that Zhuzi doesn't understand.After a long time, Zhuzi regarded Amin as a sister.In this city that gradually changed from strange to familiar, Zhuzi first thought of her husband, and then thought of Amin.
But now that Baoer is gone, Zhuzi can't find a sister who can give her advice.Bao'er is Zhuzi's only son, who is only four and a half years old. He is beautiful and cute. The neighbors like to play with Bao'er.
On the weekend of that day, Zhuzi made an appointment with a group of people to play mahjong in the small shop at home, while Baoer sat on a small bench next to him and ate lollipops.Zhuzi got up in the middle of playing mahjong to go to the toilet, but when he came back from the toilet, he found that Bao'er was gone.Zhuzi asked those who played mahjong together and watched mahjong together, and they all said that they didn't notice when Bao'er disappeared.
Zhu Zi thought that Bao'er had gone out to play by himself, so he sat down and played for a while, but the more he played, the more uneasy he became, so he overturned the mahjong and went outside to find Bao'er.However, the neighbors who played mahjong and those who watched mahjong, six or seven people together, searched all afternoon, but they couldn't find Bao'er.
Bao'er just disappeared.Zhuzi's husband, Sangui, had a big fight with Zhuzi and called the police. Unknowingly, a month later, the police did not find Bao'er.Sangui came here with a contractor who was engaged in construction. The contractor had a good relationship here. He took on several projects in a row, and Sangui followed him to settle down in this city.Sangui took the plants to the city and rented a bungalow with a small yard in the suburban area of the city. Sangui was a bit economical, seeing that many of the people around here were migrant workers, so he built a yard and made a living. a small shop.Sangui goes to work on the construction site every day, and the shop is watched by Zhuzi.In a flash, this family has lived in this city for five or six years.
However, Sangui never imagined that when the life at home was getting better and better, his only son, Bao'er, would suddenly disappear.
On the day Bao'er disappeared, Sangui was working on the construction site.
Sangui is not a superstitious person. However, when he later recalled the accident on the construction site that day, he felt that there seemed to be some unfortunate omen in the dark.
Because of Sangui's cleverness, he had a long look at the contractor's side, so he stopped doing any rough work a long time ago, and was mainly responsible for checking acceptance and counting construction materials on the construction site.
That day, Sangui had just finished inspecting the newly delivered batch of cement and was wandering around the construction site when he saw Uncle Zhang, who was watching the gate, waving to him.Just as Sangui took a few steps towards the door, there was a loud bang behind him, and a burst of dust rushed over from behind Sangui. Sangui felt as if a wave of air was coming from behind him, trying to overturn him.
Sangui froze there, his ears were rumbling, and he couldn't hear anyone speak for a long time.
Uncle Zhang was also obviously stunned, he raised one hand and pointed behind Sangui.
Sangui turned around and found that the scaffolding had collapsed.Fortunately, Sangui took a few steps forward at that time, otherwise, Sangui might have been smashed under the scaffolding.The collapse of the scaffolding resulted in injuries to two migrant workers, but fortunately, neither of them were seriously injured.
However, the cause of the collapse of the scaffolding has never been found out. Every bamboo pole on the scaffolding was bound very firmly, and even after the entire scaffolding fell down, none of the bamboo poles fell apart.But why did the scaffolding collapse?
That evening, after Sangui returned from get off work, he heard that Bao'er had disappeared.
The next few months were like a nightmare.His wife, Zhuzi, went out early in the morning and didn't come back until dark, saying she was looking for Bao'er.
However, the real nightmare happened one day three months later.
One day three months later, on a hill about 200 meters away from where Sangui lived (called Heihu Mountain by the locals), someone found the almost completely decomposed body of a child.The police informed Sangui to identify the corpse. Most of the corpse was only bones. There were ants crawling in and out of the head, eyes and nostrils that had not completely decayed. Sangui saw it at a glance. The shoe next to the child was a birthday present that Sangui bought for Bao'er on her fourth birthday.
The child's hands were tied behind his back, and a short piece of rope that had turned black and rotted showed people that the child had been tied behind his back to a small tree.This small hill stretches for several miles, and it is the watershed between the urban area and the suburbs of the city.And the place closest to the small hill is barely a part of the suburbs of the city. The large areas of bungalows are almost all rented out to migrant workers. This place is synonymous with the red light district in the city.Zhu Zi seemed to be dumbfounded, with almost no expression on his face, just muttering to himself incessantly:
"Bao'er...Bao'er...Bao'er is back..." Sangui felt his mind go blank. Is this skeleton-only corpse really Bao'er?After Bao'er's body was claimed and Bao'er's affairs were dealt with, Sangui's mother rushed over from her hometown and insisted on asking Sangui to go back to her hometown. Sangui's mother said to Sangui with snot and tears: "We don't earn money here, you all go home with me, go home... have a baby... no matter how poor we are, we must raise the child safely."
Sangui opened his mouth, trying to persuade his mother, but nothing came out.Can I still have another son?Sangui thought in his heart that his mother really didn't know the truth, but how could Sangui tell his mother the truth at this time?After Sangui's mother persuaded Sangui to go back to his hometown to no avail, she went back to her hometown alone.As for Zhu Zi, the whole person is crazy. Every morning when she wakes up, she will shout to the empty bed: "Bao'er, it's time to get up. Come, let mom dress you." Take out the clothes that Baoer used to wear one by one, as if she is really dressing a child.Sangui couldn't help holding his head, he didn't know whether Zhuzi was crazy or just went to hell.Sun Yimin almost jumped up, she pushed away the child who was pulling her sleeve.The child was pushed back two steps, and immediately opened his mouth and began to cry.The crying of the child alarmed the people in the carriage, someone came over and looked at Sun Yimin with his head. "I...I don't know him..." Sun Yimin muttered softly.Sitting opposite Sun Yimin, a man with an unshaven beard and wearing an old cloth jacket stretched out his hand and pulled the child over, "Don't cry, Dad will buy you candy later." The child sobbed while crying: "Auntie said she would give me candy..." Sun Yimin shivered suddenly. She was sure she didn't know this child, but why did the child say that she said she would give him candy?Sun Yimin recalled that she often said to her children: "Come on, Auntie will give you candy."
Sitting next to Sun Yimin was a woman in her forties, her face was reddish, she looked honest and loyal.She glanced at Sun Yimin, then took out an old cloth bag from under the seat, groped in it for a long time, and took out some candies.The sugar has been crumpled, and from the wrapping paper, it doesn't look like a high-end candy, it should be a very cheap one.Although these candies looked ugly, when the woman stretched out her hands to the little boy, the boy couldn't help but his eyes showed longing light.He wanted to reach out and grab the candy in the woman's hand, but he hesitated and glanced at the man behind him.
"Here, take it and eat it." The woman looks like a loyal rural person, but her hands are white and fat, and the colorful candies are very conspicuous in the palm of her hand. "Eat it, eat it, it doesn't matter."
The child licked his tongue.
Seeing that the child wanted to eat but didn't dare to take it, the woman smiled honestly, and stuffed the candy into the child's palm: "Eat, eat, don't be shy."
The child held those candies tightly in his palm, stopped crying, and just turned his head to look at the man behind him.
"What an embarrassment." The man said to the woman politely, with a really shy look on his face.
This scene made Sun Yimin a little embarrassed, but she was not in the mood to pay attention to it, she just turned her face away and looked at the passing scenery outside the car window.At this time, Sun Yimin's mobile phone slipped from her pocket and fell on the seat, but she didn't pay attention.During this period of time, she has been turning off her mobile phone, she is avoiding, avoiding someone's phone call, only when she needs to make a call, she will turn it on to make a call, and then turn it off immediately.Where are you going?Sun Yimin couldn't help being a little irritable, why did it become like this?How did all this happen today?The first time, how did you do it the first time?Sun Yimin is very beautiful, and her face is always pink, which may be the reason why Zhi Chong likes her.At first, Sun Yimin didn't know that Zhichong was married, she only knew that Zhichong seemed to be very rich, and that Zhichong could almost satisfy her whatever she wanted.Sun Yimin used to be a hair-washing woman in a barber shop, and Zhi Chong was a customer of her shop, and they got to know each other very well, so Zhi Chong asked Sun Yimin to go out for tea.Sun Yimin could see that Zhichong was very interested in her, and seeing that Zhichong spent a lot of money, so Sun Yimin played love games with Zhichong.Soon, Zhichong rented a two-bedroom apartment for Sun Yimin outside, and lived with Sun Yimin.Although Sun Yimin knew that Zhichong was rich, she didn't know how rich Zhichong was at that time, let alone that Zhichong was the son of the chairman of a famous brand clothing company and the sole heir of this famous brand clothing company.
Since Sun Yimin and Zhichong lived together, Sun Yimin stopped working in the barber shop. She stayed at home and waited for Zhichong to give her money every month.One day after living together with Zhi Chong for half a year, Sun Yimin discovered that the due period had not come.Sun Yimin is pregnant.After Sun Yimin found out that she was pregnant, she felt uneasy. She didn't know if she wanted to kill the child secretly, or tell Zhi Chong.Telling Zhi Chong is nothing more than two results, get rid of it or give birth.But, would Zhichong marry Sun Yimin just for a child?Sun Yimin wasn't sure, but after much deliberation, she decided to tell Zhichong about the matter. At least, Zhichong was the father of the child in her belly, and he should be responsible whether he killed or kept it.
However, what Sun Yimin didn't expect was that after Zhi Chong knew about Sun Yimin's pregnancy, he suddenly disappeared.This is something Sun Yimin never thought of. Sun Yimin kept calling Zhichong's cell phone, and the mechanical and cold voice in the cell phone told Sun Yimin: "The number you dialed cannot be connected temporarily." If it is not temporarily, it is not connected at all.Zhi Chong's disappearance plunged Sun Yimin into a state of panic. She ignored the question of whether to abort the child immediately, and devoted all her energy to finding Zhi Chong.Zhichong did not pay the rent for Sun Yimin's rented house. After more than a month, Sun Yimin was kicked out by the landlord.Sun Yimin, who had nowhere to go, went back to the barber shop to be a shampoo girl. Every day except for work, Sun Yimin went looking for Zhi Chong everywhere. After a few months, Sun Yimin's belly was already slightly swollen.Sun Yimin's home was in a county not far from the city, but Sun Yimin dared not go home. If her parents knew that she was pregnant out of wedlock, they would scold her to death.The little sisters who lived with Sun Yimin soon discovered that Sun Yimin was abnormal.Seeing that the gradually growing belly could not escape the eyes of everyone, Sun Yimin told the truth to the little sisters.
The sisters all persuaded Sun Yimin to kill the child, but at this time Sun Yimin was blindfolded by lard, and his heart was also blinded. He insisted on finding Zhichong before making plans.In a blink of an eye, Sun Yimin has been pregnant for more than six months, and Zhi Chong's original mobile phone number has long been out of use. When she called later, the cold voice on the phone had changed her words: "The number you dialed is an empty number." Sun Yimin finally felt a little worried. She couldn't stand it any longer, her six-month-old stomach could already be seen wearing clothes, so she had to put on very loose clothes to cover it up.
But unexpectedly, Sun Yimin accidentally found Zhi Chong at this moment.
Sun Yimin was walking on the street without a clue that day. She was not a thoughtless woman who just passed by, but that was how she was during that time. The purpose of her wandering around was to find Zhisong.However, after a few months, she no longer had much hope. She even thought, did Zhi Chong evaporate from the world?
There is a famous brand clothing store on the street, the decoration is very gorgeous, and the fashions on the models in the window are all expensive.Sun Yimin couldn't help but take a second look.And just looking at these two more eyes, Sun Yimin saw a man standing in the store. At first, Sun Yimin couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't believe it. When she thought it was impossible to find him again, he actually appeared .Sun Yimin came back to her senses, she almost crashed into the clothing store.Zhichong heard the loud sound of opening the glass door behind him, and the clerk whispered in surprise: "Miss..."
He couldn't help turning around, but before he could see what was behind him, he was hugged by a woman: "Zhichong...you...where have you been all this time? Why can't you get through the phone? ..." Zhi Chong smelled a familiar smell and a familiar voice, and in panic, he hurriedly pushed away the woman who was pounced on him.Sun Yimin was still nagging, but was pushed away by Zhi Chong.A very beautiful woman stood behind Zhi Chong, with her arms folded, looking at Zhi Chong coldly: "Who is this woman?" The woman's eyes swept over Sun Yimin's stomach intentionally or unintentionally.
In this quarrel with no chance of winning, Sun Yimin finally understood that that beautiful woman was Zhi Chong's wife, and Zhi Chong explained to his wife that he didn't know Sun Yimin at all, and that Sun Yimin was just a neurotic madman. Women only.Of course Zhi Chong's wife would not believe Zhi Chong's words, but she still ordered Sun Yimin to be kicked out of the clothing store decisively, and then escorted Zhi Chong into the car like a prisoner, and the luxurious sports car quickly disappeared. In Sun Yimin's sight.
Sun Yimin felt despair.One is that she didn't know that Zhi Chong was married; the other is that although she found Zhi Chong, he actually said that he didn't know her.
Sun Yimin lay in bed for three days.
If it is said that Sun Yimin was sad when Zhichong disappeared before, and she guessed that this is the result, after all, it has not been confirmed. After all, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, but now even this glimmer of hope is gone.The reality proved that all of this was even more terrifying than Sun Yimin expected. Man, it turned out that he could be so heartless.
Sun Yimin thought of death, and died with Zhi Chong's child in her belly.
However, when she really thought about how to die, she was afraid again. She thought of her parents, the beauty of life, and the fact that she was still young.After struggling like this for more than a week, under the persuasion of her sisters, Sun Yimin decided to go to the hospital to abort the child.How did she know that since she was nearly seven months pregnant, she could no longer undergo aspiration or curettage. If Sun Yimin insisted on terminating the pregnancy, she would have to induce labor, which required hospitalization and was very dangerous.Of course the doctor tried his best to persuade Sun Yimin to keep the baby. She described to Sun Yimin what the seven-month-old fetus looked like, and the impact on Sun Yimin after the induced labor.
Sun Yimin couldn't tell the doctor that her pregnancy was unmarried, let alone that the child's father was a man with a wife, and he would not admit that the child was his... Sun Yimin hesitated, and in the doctor's last concluding sentence Leaving the hospital: "You go back and think about it carefully." Sun Yimin was in a dilemma, sitting among the little sisters with her not-so-small belly, hoping that the sisters would give her advice, but everyone listened to what she told the doctor, Looking at her belly again, she lost her mind for a moment.After this matter was delayed, the fetus was already seven months old.To Sun Yimin's surprise, the seven-month-old fetus was born prematurely without warning.Zhu Zi followed behind an ugly old lady in black, and had followed for two streets.The ugly old lady ignored Zhu Zi, but had a mysterious and indifferent smile on her face.This is the outskirts of the city, and almost all the large bungalows are occupied by migrant workers.During the day, everyone went to work, and the women who didn’t go to work would find a place to hide and play mahjong. The streets were empty and there was almost no one there.The ugly old lady has a good smell. Although she is old and ugly, her clothes don't look cheap. The ugly old lady walks with her back straight, although she walks slowly, she has a little bit of richness. gas.Zhu Zi followed the ugly old lady to the end of a narrow alley. The ugly old lady opened the last door, and the yard was green with all kinds of trees, flowers and plants, and a more intense fragrance wafted out from the yard. "Come in." The ugly old lady said to Zhu Zi when she entered the door, but she didn't even look back.Zhuzi smiled "hee hee", her expression was a bit silly, she followed the ugly old lady into the yard, and felt immediately surrounded by the fragrance.Zhuzi no longer remembers what she said to the ugly old lady. When she came out of the ugly old lady's yard, she held a large bag of incense in her arms. The incense was red and smelled very good. It penetrates into the nose and penetrates into the heart of the person.
Walking out of the narrow alley, Zhu Zi realized that he was lost.
Zhu Zi walked in a daze, and didn't know when he came to a high-rise building. This is obviously a high-end residential area. There are beautiful communities on both sides of the street. The community has a large area of green space, fountains and artificial lakes. , There are also small villas one by one.Zhuzi has always known that there is a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city, where rich people live, but she has never been here.
Zhuzi felt like going to the park, watching while walking, feeling happy in his heart. "It's a pity, why didn't you bring Bao'er out today?" In Zhuzi's heart, Bao'er was still alive.Just when Zhuzi was thinking this way, she saw a boy standing by the side of the road, holding a lollipop in one hand and a small leather ball in the other, looking around, as if looking for someone.The boy was dressed very beautifully, and the tree couldn't help but walked towards the boy.
"Bao'er..." From the back view, the boy looks very similar to Bao'er, Zhu Zi became a little happy, and softly called Bao'er's name, the boy turned his face when he heard Zhu Zi's call, Zhu Zi was stunned , isn't this exactly Bao'er?
Zhu Zi walked up to Bao'er, touched Bao'er's head: "Bao'er, why did you come here alone?"
The boy looked at Zhuzi hesitantly, tilted his head to avoid Zhuzi touching his hand, and took a step back.
"Bao'er, whose clothes are you wearing?" Zhu Zi stretched out his hand naturally as he said, wanting to hold the boy's hand.
The boy looked at Zhu Zi, hesitated for a while, his eyes began to be full of suspicion, and then he became compliant, he handed his little hand to Zhu Zi, and let Zhu Zi hold it naturally.Zhu Zi took the boy and walked on the way home, although she can't tell which direction home is now.
Just as Zhuzi turned the intersection with her child, a middle-aged woman ran out of a neighborhood in a hurry, shouting, "Baoer... Baoer! Where have you been?" Zhuzi Holding a bag of incense in one hand and Bao'er in the other, her face was full of happiness.When Sangui walked to the door of his house in the evening, he wondered if this was his home.There is a very light and pleasant smell wafting out of the house, and there is also the smell of food.Sangui suspects that she has gone to the wrong place. Since Baoer disappeared, Zhuzi has never cooked food again. She just looks around nervously for Baoer every day.
Sangui carefully looked at the door, this is indeed his home.
Sangui opened the door and walked in. He heard Zhuzi's voice: "Bao'er, today mom will make braised pork for you. It's your favorite food. Come, let's have a taste first. How about it? It smells good, right?" Three Gui couldn't help but shook his head again, he was smelling the fragrance and the smell of food, and fantasized that the plant would suddenly get better, but hearing the words of the plant, Sangui's heart sank again.Sangui walked towards the room with heavy steps, and when he reached the door, Sangui's eyes lit up.Zhuzi is really talking to Baoer!Zhu Zi held a child in his arms, holding chopsticks in one hand, and was sending a piece of braised pork to the child's mouth. The child hesitated, opened his mouth, and bit the braised pork in his mouth.This kid really looks like Bao'er!However, Sangui can conclude that this child is not Bao'er. Although he is very similar to Bao'er, he is indeed not Bao'er. This child is slightly fatter and taller than Bao'er.Zhuzi suddenly looked up and saw Sangui: "Bao'er, Dad is back from get off work." Sangui was stunned, he hurried into the room, turned around and closed the door, and asked Zhuzi, "Where did this kid come from?"
Zhuzi ignored Sangui's question, and just patted the child lightly: "Bao'er, call Dad quickly, don't you even know Dad?"
"Father!" The child still had some doubts in his eyes, but he called out to Sangui obediently.Sangui's panic was lost by the sound of "Dad". He didn't care where the child came from, but this child was indeed very similar to Bao'er.Sangui thought, he is Bao'er, it is Bao'er!Sangui decided that he would immediately look for another house to rent and move out from here as soon as possible.That night, Sun Yimin slipped away from the small hospital with the baby in her arms.She had no money to be hospitalized, but was unexpectedly born prematurely, and the sisters had to send her to the hospital.After giving birth, Sun Yimin owed a large amount of medical expenses to the hospital, and she knew she couldn't afford the hospital at all.Holding the premature baby boy who was as thin as a monkey, Sun Yimin didn't know what to do.In the early morning of that day, before dawn, it was extremely dark, and the premature baby boy did not cry. Sun Yimin wondered if he was dead, but when he opened the package, the child was blinking and looking at the unmarried mother quietly.The child is very similar to Zhichong, and when he thinks of Zhichong, Sun Yimin feels angry in his heart.Imagining her future life, Sun Yimin couldn't help shivering, what would she do with this child in the future?Seeing that face that looked so much like Zhi Chong, Sun Yimin couldn't help but gritted her teeth, she couldn't raise a child for Zhi Chong, and she wasn't married yet, taking this child would undoubtedly ruin all her future happiness.Walking in the dark all the way, Sun Yimin thought over and over again, and finally, at the entrance of a small alley, Sun Yimin threw the child down.After a long time, Sun Yimin couldn't remember where she left the child that morning.Even Sun Yimin didn't remember whether the child was fat or thin, but she remembered that there were two large moles growing on the child's right buttocks, and the two moles were almost connected together.
After leaving her child behind, Sun Yimin did not return to her original work and place of residence. With the little money left in her pocket, she found a job at the other side of the city, still as a shampoo girl, but this time This time she looked away, and it was different from simply washing her hair in a barber shop.
For a period of time, beauty salons, in some places, were synonymous with gathering places for prostitutes.The beauticians or hair-washing girls in the shop are dressed very little. They not only do hair-washing services for customers, but also do other services, as long as customers are willing to pay, such as sexual services.This phenomenon is very common in the suburbs of some big cities, where migrant workers gather.Sun Yimin is very beautiful, and her business is better than others. Among the shampoo girls in the same barber shop, she is enviable. However, what is her money to those rich people?Sun Yimin was already contented, and after two years like this, an unexpected event changed her life again.Sun Yimin didn't know that after more than a year after she gave birth, Zhi Chong began to look for her everywhere.Zhichong is the only son in the family. He has been married for several years, because he often meets women outside, and he doesn't spend much time with his wife. In a few years, his wife has no way to give birth to the next generation of Zhichong's family. heir.Zhi Chong was not very anxious about this matter, but Zhi Chong's parents were.
Under the family pressure, Zhi Chong stayed with his wife for three months and did not go out every night, but his wife was still like a duck that couldn't lay eggs, with a flat stomach.
Zhi Chong's father-in-law is an official with real power, so although Zhi Chong is promiscuous outside, he dare not disrespect his wife.Both of these two families have only one child, and the young couple in front of them couldn't get pregnant. The parents of both families were very anxious, so they forced them to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to find out what was going on.
Anyone who knows this check will check out the problem.
The doctor said that infertility is the most serious problem, and the sperm has no vitality and cannot conceive the wife.
This result is undoubtedly a blockbuster for the two companies.These two have money and power. Now this young couple is barren. Who will inherit the huge business of the brand clothing company in the third generation?
All the blame in the family was directed at Zhi Chong, his wife scolded him for being useless, his parents moaned and sighed every day, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law blamed him for being too promiscuous outside.In a hurry, Zhi Chong couldn't help but think of Sun Yimin.
Zhichong can be sure that the child Sun Yimin is pregnant with is his. During the time he and Sun Yimin got along well, Sun Yimin clings to him every day, so there is no other man at all.When he knew that Sun Yimin was pregnant, he secretly left Sun Yimin because he was afraid that Sun Yimin would threaten him to get married.Later, when he met Sun Yimin again, it was also because his wife was by his side that forced him not to admit that the child Sun Yimin was pregnant with was his.
Zhichong secretly told his mother about this, and his mother helped Zhichong think about it in private. If he could find Sun Yimin and bring the child over, even if Zhichong really couldn't have another child in the future, he wouldn't be extinct.So Zhichong started to look for Sun Yimin secretly without telling his wife.From the barber shop where Sun Yimin worked, Zhi Chong learned that Sun Yimin really gave birth to a boy, but in order to avoid hospitalization fees, Sun Yimin took the child and ran away secretly and never came back.Zhi Chong yelled in his heart that this woman was so stupid, but there was no other way, so Zhi Chong had no choice but to keep looking.Even Zhichong found out the address of Sun Yimin's parents, and found someone to find out where Sun Yimin's parents lived. After asking the neighbors around, he found that Sun Yimin hadn't come home at all.After many twists and turns, people from Zhichong found out that Sun Yimin had sent money to his parents, and the address was a migrant worker gathering area in the city where Zhichong was located.
Ever since Sun Yimin became a shampoo girl with special services, she always had to change one after a while, because this street is a famous red-light district, and every once in a while, she would be thoroughly investigated by the police, and every thorough investigation , it is inevitable that there will be a few shops that will be unlucky.The nature of this industry determines its instability, and it also determines that Sun Yimin has to change stores and move from time to time.
Therefore, although Zhichong knew that Sun Yimin was still in this city and had a previous address, it was not so easy to find her.However, some things are predestined.Sun Yimin was arrested during a police raid on the red light district.The surprise inspection that night was followed by reporters from the city TV station. They carried cameras and followed behind the police. They took pictures of the police raiding a certain street and arrested many prostitutes and whore buyers.Among these prostitutes and prostitutes, there is a scene that flashes across Sun Yimin's face.
Zhi Chong has been very honest at home these days, because his father-in-law revealed that the city has carried out surprise anti-pornography inspections in the past few days.Although he knew that his son-in-law was dishonest, his father-in-law still didn't want his son-in-law to be caught, which would embarrass him, his father-in-law.
While eating snacks, Zhi Chong gloated and sat in the living room watching the news of the surprise anti-pornography inspection.
The wife was watching an unbelievable romantic drama in the room, crying harder than the heroine, as if all the misfortunes happened to her.A face suddenly flashed across the TV, making Zhi Chong stunned.He found it, Sun Yimin!That face was the woman he had been looking for.The train swayed rhythmically, and everyone around them dozed off.Suddenly, the phone rang, and Sun Yimin hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, why did he forget to turn off the phone?However, her pockets were empty, and at this time, the ringing of the mobile phone had stopped, and a man in the seat behind her spoke on the phone.Where is the phone?Sun Yimin searched around the seat, but couldn't find it. Her action alarmed the others in the seat. Sun Yimin hurriedly sat down, pretending to be okay.Sun Yimin's nerves were tense, she secretly looked at the people around her from time to time, and when a policeman came, she immediately looked away, but watched every move of the policeman from the corner of her eye.Sun Yimin had a headache.In fact, she never figured out how Zhi Chong found her, but his arrival changed her life from one situation to another.When Zhi Chong appeared in front of Sun Yimin, Sun Yimin was stunned.
In the low-slung bungalow, Sun Yimin's complexion was very ugly. She lost her job again because of the surprise anti-pornography inspection, and during this period, she could not go out to look for a job, so she had to avoid the limelight.Those who were arrested together were all fined huge sums of money, only Sun Yimin was not fined a penny, she didn't know that Zhi Chong played a role behind the scenes.Sun Yimin returned to the rented place, thinking about avoiding the limelight and changing another place.However, on the second day, Zhi Chong found her.Sun Yimin has fallen to this point, of course she will no longer believe that Zhi Chong came back to find her because she loves her.She and Zhichong talked in circles for a long time, and the topic finally touched on the child. Sun Yimin's heart immediately "thumped", and the child had already been thrown away, because she never thought that Zhichong would come to look for the child.Seeing President Zhi Chong questioning about the child, Sun Yimin clenched his mouth tightly, resolutely not letting Zhi Chong see the child.After several rounds, Zhi Chong lost his patience by Sun Yimin. Before leaving, he threw a sentence to Sun Yimin: "I just think that the child suffers with you. You can't support him, and you can't give him a good education. If you are willing to give him Give the child to me to raise, and I will not lose you. You think it over carefully, and I will come to you again. "
Where did Sun Yimin find Zhi Chong's child?
In the early hours of the day two years ago, Sun Yimin threw the child at an unknown intersection. If the child was unlucky, he might have died.Thinking of that child, Sun Yimin couldn't help shivering.Sun Yimin quickly forgot about it, but the next day, Zhi Chong really came again.However, Sun Yimin could not tell Zhichong that the child had already been thrown away, or even died.Sun Yimin prevaricated to Zhi Chong that the child was given to someone else to be raised by her.至崇听说孙忆敏把孩子送了人，立即着急起来，他追问孙忆敏把孩子送给了什么人，还能不能找回来。看着至崇着急的样子，孙忆敏忽然感觉到至崇一定有什么事情瞒着她，他迫切地想找到孩子，看来，孩子对他非常重要。孙忆敏想了想，似笑非笑地对至崇说：“你不要孩子，我只好送人了，你现在又来要孩子，你让我怎么去找人家把孩子领回来？”
至崇听孙忆敏这话，似乎能把孩子弄回来，立即笑了起来：“只要你能把孩子找回来，收养的那户人家，我可以给点钱，当然，钱的数额不要太过分就行。等孩子找回来了，我还会给你报酬的，怎么样？”
孙忆敏笑了笑，“那我去探听一下人家的口气吧，不过，那地方不近啊……”孙忆敏说着，手指搓了一下，至崇犹豫了一下，从口袋里掏出钱来，数了十张一百的给了孙忆敏。
孙忆敏的脸都笑开了花：“事情成了我给你打电话。”
“好！”至崇又递给孙忆敏一张名片，上面有至崇的手机号，名片上赫然印着，某品牌服装公司的经理。孙忆敏本来拿着一千块钱想开溜的，但看着至崇的名片，她又打起了主意：至崇为了搞到这个孩子，到底肯花多少钱呢？
两天后，孙忆敏主动给至崇打了一个电话，在电话里，她挺为难地对至崇说，人家不愿意把孩子交回来。至崇在电话里再次着了急，逼着孙忆敏说出收养的是哪一家，如果不肯给孩子，就告他拐卖孩子。
孙忆敏有些害怕，立即对至崇说：“我看算了，他们可能是想多要点钱。”
“多少钱？报个价。”至崇的口气很硬，现在知道孩子的下落，至崇有点势在必得。
孙忆敏在心里反复衡量了下，一咬牙，报了个天价：“听那家人的意思，是要三万块钱……估计少了他们肯定不干……”孙忆敏琢磨着，至崇要是能给她两万，她也就乐坏了，可是，她没有想到，至崇一口答应下来。
“行，你答应他，不过我要先看到孩子再给你钱，你可以带着那家人和孩子一起来，联系好了先给我电话。”说着，至崇就把电话挂了。
孙忆敏一阵窃喜，看来至崇确实是个有钱的主儿。
可接下来，她就发起愁来，孩子，从哪里弄个两岁的孩子给至崇呀？
不过，事情很快就发生了转机。
那是个偶然。
孙忆敏决定找到当初她扔下孩子的地方，去查访下当年有没有人收养那个可怜的孩子。只要找到孩子，她就能想出办法来，把孩子弄回来。反正不管怎么样，她也要为这三万块钱努力一下。
想想，三万块钱，在这个城市里，这条小街上，她再怎么样地接客，也要挣个两三年。
孙忆敏凭着记忆，找到当年她偷偷离开医院时行走的那条路，两年，好在这里的变化并不是很大，孙忆敏很快就确定了她有可能扔下孩子的几个路口。
孙忆敏原本计划在那几个路口附近，向住在附近的人打探两年前这附近是否有人收养过被人遗弃的孩子。
孙忆敏在一个街口的杂货店里买了一瓶矿泉水，然后向杂货店的老板打听起来。
“这附近啊，经常有被人遗弃的孩子。”老板撇了撇嘴。
“什么？”孙忆敏懵了，“哪有那么多孩子被人遗弃啊，老板你说得太夸张了吧？”孙忆敏强烈怀疑老板在和她逗着玩。
“一看你就不是附近的人。”老板高深地笑了笑，“这里住的人，都很杂乱的，大部分是民工，这些民工呢，多数又都是从农村来的，有携家带口的，也有单身的。有些农村人躲避计划生育，也跑到这里来。你想啊，农村人躲避计划生育，还不是为了生个男孩吗，但如果生了女孩怎么办呢？就扔了呗。”
老板一边和孙忆敏聊着，一边抽着烟。
孙忆敏的眼睛一亮，“那就是说，扔掉的孩子中，男孩比较少了？”
没想到，那个老板却摇了摇头，“不能这样说，你听我说完。有些农村来打工的姑娘，缺少相关的一些知识，往往容易怀孕，有些又不敢去医院做掉，于是躲起来生孩子，生完就扔掉。”孙忆敏有些不自在起来，仿佛那个老板在说她似的。老板却没有觉察孙忆敏异样的表情，继续说着：“这附近一年不说有几十个，有十来个孩子被扔掉是正常的。”
孙忆敏没从杂货店老板那儿打听出想知道的事情，有点闷闷不乐地沿着小街边走着。下午的时光，小街上几乎没人，打工的都上班去了，为打工者服务的女人们还在睡觉。偶尔有穿着拖鞋睡衣的年轻女人，穿过街道，到附近的小店去。
就在孙忆敏头脑里转着怎么找回孩子的念头时，她忽然看见了一个小男孩。那个男孩站在路边，手里拿着一根快吃完的棒棒糖，男孩不过两岁左右，走路还不是很稳。街道前后没有其他人，而前面没几步远，就是小街的路口。孙忆敏走近男孩时心跳得很厉害，男孩的样子，让她一下子想到了至崇。男孩长得非常像至崇。街道边有两家的门半开着，不知道这男孩是从哪个门里溜出来的。看他那吮着棒棒糖的表情，很开心。这是个天气非常好的下午，男孩的心情似乎也很好。孙忆敏在男孩的身边停了下来，她左右看了看，街道上此时一个人也没有。
孙忆敏蹲下来，摸了摸男孩的脸，小声地问：“要吃棒棒糖吗？”男孩看了看手里的棒棒糖，犹豫着点了点头。“阿姨带你去买棒棒糖吃，好不好？”男孩笑了起来，向孙忆敏伸出小手。孙忆敏再次看了看前后左右，街道上确实一个人也没有，她立即抱起男孩，向着小街的路口走去。男孩很乖，还在吮着棒棒糖，一声也没有哭。孙忆敏在路口转弯时，迎面碰上了一个男人，那个男人盯着孙忆敏和她抱的孩子看了看，孙忆敏的心跳加快，她慌忙转过脸，抱着男孩飞快地走了。孙忆敏那一刻很怕男人追上来，不过，男人也很快地转过路口走了。男孩很乖，几乎没给孙忆敏添麻烦。孙忆敏对男孩很好，看着男孩，她就好像看到了三万块钱的钞票。
孙忆敏很快通知了至崇，她在电话里毫不客气地问：“你给我的酬劳是多少？我给你生了孩子，现在又要把他弄回来交给你，不会什么好处也没有吧？”
讨论的结果是，至崇再另外给孙忆敏两万块钱。男孩长得像极了至崇，所以至崇看到孩子后，毫不犹豫地就给了孙忆敏五万块钱。孙忆敏在拿到钱后，立即离开了原来住的地方，她害怕至崇带孩子去做亲子鉴定，发现那个男孩并不是他的儿子。这就是孙忆敏第一次偷别人的孩子。三贵和株子搬到了另外一个地方。其实这里离原来住的地方，也不过隔了三条街，但这里在巷子的最里面，很深，而且周围住的也都是单身合租房的民工，还有就是做那种“生意”的女孩子，三贵觉得比较安全。宝儿在这里就不会再走丢了，因为巷子深，也不会有人到这里来找孩子。
最主要的是，这里不那么热闹，株子也找不到人打麻将了。
三贵打电话回家，告诉母亲宝儿已经找到了，母亲再三地劝三贵回家去，但想到现在一个月能挣不少钱，而回到家里，面朝黄土背朝天地苦干一年，也收不了多少粮食，更卖不了多少钱，三贵还是没有听从母亲的劝告。
而株子也像是换了一个人似的，虽然有时候有点神神道道的，但她每天早晚上香，然后就是带孩子，想着法子给孩子做好吃的，反而让三贵觉得还挺放心的。
不过，奇怪的事情，很快就发生了。
那天下午三贵办完了工地上的事情，在工地上转悠了一会儿，发现没有什么事情需要做了，于是打算早点回家。离开工地，看看天色还早得很，三贵来了兴致，顺着工地不远处新起的小商业街走回去。三贵所在的工地正在建一个生活小区，这附近有好几片工地，都是建新生活区的，随着这些小区即将完工，附近的几条街也自发地开展了许多商业活动，卖装修材料的，开装修公司的，还有卖家居用品的，渐渐地就热闹了起来。
三贵看见路边有个卖玩具的摊子，一个毛毛的玩具熊吸引了三贵，他想到了宝儿。宝儿长这么大，三贵还真没给他买过什么玩具呢，三贵想着这个月手头挺宽裕的，于是起了念头要给宝儿买下这只玩具熊。
“咦，这不是三贵吗，最近是不是发财了，搬哪个高级的住宅区去了，老不回去看看我们。”一个熟悉的中年女人的声音。
三贵转过头去，身后正站着原来租房的那家房东的女人。
“哪有发什么财……”三贵讪笑了一下，“我妈回老家了，才换个小点的地方住，好省点钱。”
三贵的情况，房东女人也是知道的，三贵并不想和她多说什么。
“咦，我说三贵，你知道不知道，你家……你家宝儿……那事，听说，有点头绪了……”房东女人左右看了看，压低了声音向三贵说。三贵愣了一下，他先想到了家里那个宝儿。但随后，他就明白房东女人说的是失踪的宝儿那件事。
“怎么着？”三贵有些紧张起来，他不仅想知道是谁害了宝儿，他更想知道，有没有人知道他的家里还有个被株子拐来的宝儿。
“你还记得有个经常和你家株子一起打麻将的女人吧？就是大家都叫她'阿敏'的那个？”房东女人眼睛四处转着，看看没有人注意他们的谈话，又把眼光落在了三贵脸上，看见三贵一脸的茫然，她有些着急，“就住在我们那条街边上横巷里的，长得挺漂亮的，年纪也不大……”
三贵并不常去看株子打麻将，因为他比较忙，但在房东不断地提醒下，三贵想起了一个女人来，那女人似乎和株子的关系非常好。邻居有人怀疑她是个暗娼，但她晚上却也不经常出去，只是偶尔才不在，大部分时间都在街上的某家里打麻将。三贵之所以对她有记忆，因为她确实挺漂亮，而且，曾经有一次，三贵下班早，去株子打麻将的地方找株子，那女人也在，她还直夸株子有福气，说三贵长得挺帅又能干。后来在街上也迎面碰上过那女人两三次，那女人有一次还故意伸手在三贵的身上捏了一把，这让三贵多少起了点欲望。他曾想，那女人要真是暗娼，哪天就去照顾一下她的生意，她确实比株子漂亮得多啦。
“警察后来去我们家找过你，听那警察说，怀疑宝儿是被那个阿敏拐到山上去的，那天阿敏确实没有打完麻将，而且中途她说去上厕所，离开了好长一段时间。据说那天下午，前面那条街上开小店的曾经看见阿敏带着个男孩，很匆忙地走了过去。至于阿敏为什么那么做，警察说，怀疑这个阿敏可能和一个贩卖人口的什么团伙有关，那个团伙的头子就是个女的，圈里人都叫她'忆姐'，警察本来就一直在注意这个贩卖人口的团伙了……”房东女人说起话来像机关枪一样，虽然很快，但也很通顺，三贵很快就明白了。
“她原来不是暗娼，而是人贩子……”三贵不自觉地叹了一声。
“可不是，自从宝儿……被找到后，那个阿敏就失踪了……对了，今天的报纸上就登了这事，你去看看好了。”房东女人又和三贵啰唆了一会，三贵已经没有什么心思听她啰唆了。
房东女人走了好一会儿，三贵还站在玩具摊前发呆。“要买玩具吗？”一个苍老的声音把正在发呆的三贵叫醒过来，玩具摊边站着个黑衣的老太太，她的脸极丑，仿佛被硫酸泼过似的，三贵不由得打了个寒战。
“那个，熊……怎么卖？”三贵指了指他看中的毛毛熊。老太太报了个价，三贵也没留意价格的高低，付了钱，一把拎起毛毛熊就走了。走了很远，三贵还回过头看了看老太太，老太太正张着嘴在笑着，嘴里没有牙齿，像个黑黑的洞，三贵慌忙转身就走。不知道为什么，那个老太太的脸，让三贵有种惊怕的感觉。三贵回到家，发现宝儿正蹲在小院子的墙角里，嘴里不知道在嘀咕着什么，细听，像在对谁说话似的：“你也叫宝儿？你家住哪？”三贵愣住了，宝儿在和谁说话？株子哪去了？三贵走到屋里，发现株子正坐在屋里的地上，四处插着一圈的香，她嘴里不知道在念叨着什么，完全是没有意思的音节。“宝儿一个人在院子里干什么呢？”三贵冲着株子大叫起来。“宝儿？他们俩在玩呢……”株子细声回答。
“他们俩？”三贵呆住了，院子里明明只有宝儿自己，还有谁？“是啊……”株子说着转过脸来。三贵惊恐地看见株子的脸上，没有鼻子没有眼睛也没有眉毛，只有一张黑洞洞的嘴，嘴一咧一咧的，似乎在笑。三贵差点叫了出来，却忽然感觉到怀里的熊在动，他低头一看，毛毛熊正张大了嘴，嘴里有黑色的蚂蚁在不断地爬出来……三贵惊恐地把毛毛熊扔了出去，自己一屁股坐到了地上。“妹子这是去哪儿？”对面那个农村妇女一样的女人赔着笑脸问孙忆敏。火车到了这里，车上的人更少了。孙忆敏有些坐卧不安，到底去哪里躲躲才好？如果不是万不得已，孙忆敏是不会离开那座城市的，在那里，她已经生活了很多年，所有美好的和不美好的记忆，都留在了那里。可是，几天前，孙忆敏从报纸上看到了那则新闻。
那个孩子被人发现时已经只剩下了骷髅。
自从看过那则新闻后，孙忆敏一闭上眼睛，似乎就看见那个孩子只剩下一双黑洞的眼睛的样子。“你还是出去避一避吧。”刘路扔了几百块钱给孙忆敏。
刘路是孙忆敏的新搭档，也是孙忆敏最新的情人。男人不可靠，孙忆敏早就从至崇那里领教了，不过，像刘路这样翻脸比翻书还快的，孙忆敏还是有些生气。孩子不是刘路找的客户要的吗？要不是为刘路，孙忆敏还不会冒险动到那孩子的脑筋，株子怎么也算是她的姐妹了。
但孙忆敏还是忍下了这口气，她知道，刘路够心狠手辣的，如果他感觉受到了威胁，他会把孙忆敏推到警察面前的。于是孙忆敏像狗一样，从那座城市里逃亡了出来。没了孙忆敏，刘路也很难找到其他的人，没有货源，刘路拿什么给客户？用不了多久，刘路一定还要找她的，孙忆敏恨恨地想着。
“妹子是不是不舒服？”女人的神情中有些关切，她把头探了过来，盯着孙忆敏，孙忆敏猛然从发呆中回过神来。“哦，有点头疼。”孙忆敏皱了下眉头。
这排座位上，就剩下了孙忆敏和这个女人。当初匆忙到火车站，孙忆敏下意识地觉得，越往偏僻的地方去，应该越安全，所以，她买了这趟火车的票，全票，她想到哪下都方便点。
“你一路不吃也不喝的，能不头疼吗？”女人说话像孙忆敏的长辈似的，她一边说着，一边从自己身边的袋子里摸出几个橘子来，伸手递给孙忆敏一个大的，“来，吃点水果。”孙忆敏匆忙上车逃亡，哪里想起来这些，此时看到橘子，她也不由得暗吞了下口水。“妹子好像有什么心思哦？”女人伸出来的手，僵在了那里。“没……”孙忆敏不好意思起来，伸手接过橘子，谢了那个女人。
女人看孙忆敏接过了橘子，于是笑了起来，自己也拿起一个橘子，剥开吃起来。孙忆敏看见女人吃橘子，口水又慢慢地渗了出来，她忍不住这种诱惑，也把手里拿着的橘子剥了开来。
孙忆敏塞了一瓣橘子到嘴里的时候，她没有看见，女人的眼里闪过一丝狡黠。
整个橘子吃下去后，孙忆敏感觉到了嘴里有丝丝的酸津。然后，一种困顿的感觉浮了上来，她感觉自己的意识模糊起来。
这是一种很难描述的感觉，但隐约的，孙忆敏跟着那个女人一起下了火车。
孙忆敏清醒过来的时候，在一个陌生的房间里，她被反绑着双手，侧躺在一张炕上。那是土坯砌的炕，上面铺了张席子，席子的边已经毛了，有些地方用线缝过。而且，炕上有股沉重的汗味，这让孙忆敏有想呕吐的感觉。
This is where?
孙忆敏想了很久，发现自己对在火车上吃完橘子后发生的事情，几乎都记不起来了，只记得自己当时跟着那个给她橘子的女人下了车。
孙忆敏忽然感觉到了一些恐惧，她仿佛有些明白发生了什么事情，但她又不敢相信。
房间里点着明亮的蜡烛，那破旧的木头窗格子上，还贴着些剪纸。剪纸的颜色鲜红，给这破旧的房间带来一丝的喜气。
孙忆敏扭了扭身体，她试图看看绑着她的绳子会不会松动，以便找机会逃跑。
可是，她失望了，那绳子绑得很紧，她扭动了两下，绳子蹭着她的皮肉，让她有疼痛感，似乎手腕处的皮肤已经破了。
就在孙忆敏考虑着怎么样逃走时，外面传来了沉重的脚步声。那脚步声有些踉踉跄跄的，好像是个醉鬼正走过来。孙忆敏忙停止了所有动作，细听这声音。忽然，房间的门被猛地撞开了，一个长得很丑的中年男人出现在门口。
男人皮肤黧黑，身板看上去就是做体力活的，又强又壮。他身上的衣服有些邋遢，头发可能是刚理的，几乎就像剃光了的，头上有几块不知道是什么疤，感觉像是瘌痢头。
男人可能喝了酒，醉醺醺的。男人歪着脚步，向孙忆敏走过来，一边走，一边发出得意的笑声。三贵看了报纸。株子的那个姐妹阿敏，居然是一个贩卖人口的小集团的头目。这个集团组织相当严密，有专门负责拐带人口的，有专门负责寻找买家的，而他们互相之间几乎没有联系，所有的联系都是通过这个集团的头目，人称“忆姐”的孙忆敏来联系的。所以这给破案带来了很大的难度，按报纸上那意思，如果不是偶然的机会，这个集团的人还不会那么快被抓住。但是，集团的头目，人称“忆姐”的孙忆敏却没有抓到。而报纸上，那不太清楚的照片上显示，“忆姐”正是三贵见过几次面的，株子的所谓的姐妹，阿敏。
三贵回到家，把报纸扔在了株子的面前。“你的好姐妹就是害死我们宝儿的凶手！”三贵愤愤地说。“你说什么呀？”株子的眼睛往报纸上扫了一眼，就笑了起来，“宝儿不是在家好好的吗，你不要瞎说啊。”
“……”三贵想起来那个被株子带回来的孩子，那孩子正站在房间的角落里，用一种惊恐、不能了解的眼神，看着三贵。三贵忽然觉得有些害怕眼前的这个孩子。“每一个说谎者必将受惩罚，没有一个可以逃脱。”孩子忽然发出很低的声音，那声音像是在念着某种咒语，孩子的表情有些阴森森的。三贵不由得打了个寒战。“宝儿，你说的是什么？”三贵的手心里都是汗，他尽量让自己的声音显得亲切。宝儿像做错了事的孩子，这种表情让他看起来像正常的孩子一样，“那个奶奶是这样说的……”宝宝小声地嘀咕着。
“哪个奶奶？”
“那个很丑的奶奶，她给妈妈好多香。”宝儿两只小手不自在地绞在一起。
三贵忽然闻到了那股香味，那种带着淡淡血腥味的香味。株子正在烧香，株子的脸上有着幸福的表情。三贵看着株子，忽然可怜起女人来。自从结婚后，三贵一直在外面打工，家里的里里外外的活，全是株子干的。
好不容易三贵打工赚了点钱，把株子接来城市里享福，没想到，却发生了这样的事情。株子现在精神已经出现了问题，三贵想，也许，有了这个孩子以后，株子会慢慢地好起来呢。
三贵呆想了一会儿，再转过脸，忽然，三贵呆住了。三贵看见了两个孩子。
两个孩子几乎长得一样，衣服也差不多，但三贵还是敏感地察觉，其中一个孩子是真正的宝儿，就是左边那个，那个才是真正的宝儿。可是，真正的宝儿不是被阿敏拐走，扔在城市那边的那座黑虎山上，已经死了吗？三贵觉得自己也犯起糊涂来。“宝儿！”株子喊了一声，两个孩子都答应了。
三贵呆呆地望着两个孩子，右边的孩子忽然跟了过去，向株子那边走去。另一个孩子却站在那里，忽然张开了嘴：“爸爸，我好冷……”那孩子一边说着，一边向三贵走近。孩子的嘴越张越大，嘴里有黑色的东西掉了出来，掉在了孩子的衣服上，三贵细看，那掉出来的东西是黑色的蚂蚁。
就在这一瞬间，孩子的嘴里涌出了大量的黑色蚂蚁，那些蚂蚁还搬着很多的东西。
这情景就像那天宝儿的尸体在黑虎山上被发现一样。
蚂蚁搬的东西，都是它们的食物，但三贵知道，那些蚂蚁的食物，都是宝儿腐烂的身体……
孙忆敏穿着一件半旧的老棉袄，坐在墙根边晒着太阳。
冬天了，时间真快，已经过去半年了。
孙忆敏看着门外的景色，望眼过去一片白黄相交的颜色，土地和覆盖在土地上未完全融化的雪。这和她生活的城市相差有多远？而以前的那些生活，仿佛都已经是前尘往事，前生的记忆了。
孙忆敏时常在想，这可能只是一场梦？然而现实总是残酷地提醒她，这一切并不是梦。那个名叫山根的男人，就是那个最残酷的提醒。孙忆敏在这半年里，如同从天堂忽然掉到了地狱。只是，比地狱要好一些的是，那个像幻觉一样的景象没有再出现过。孙忆敏时常在想，难道连鬼也不喜欢这鸟不生蛋的地方，所以也不再出现了？这是个贫瘠到极点的地方，土地上种出的庄稼连这片土地上的播种者也无法养活。所以，这地方的人越来越少，特别是女人，有点姿色的女人，都嫁到外面去了。这里留下来的，几乎都是体弱有病的，无法外出的老人、男人和孩子。
山根就是其中一个，他从小身体就不太好，而且头上有两块瘌痢，口水会不由自主地从嘴里流出来。正是因为这样，山根只有死守在这片贫瘠的土地上，过着他贫困的生活。山根过了三十，眼见直奔四十了，还没有娶个媳妇。就在这时，一群陌生的神秘人来到了这里，他们带来了漂亮的女人，卖给村里有些钱的男人做媳妇。
山根从这些人身上看到了希望，他咬着牙苦苦地存钱。存了些钱，再加上东借西借了些，终于，他有了可以买得起一个女人的钱。被卖给山根的女人，就是孙忆敏。孙忆敏做梦也没有想到，她在逃亡的时候，居然被一个看上去像农村妇女一样的女人给骗了，并把她拐卖到这里。孙忆敏吃下去的那个橘子里，有一种迷药，那种药令孙忆敏意识模糊，听从女人一切暗示。那药性过去的时候，孙忆敏已经在山根准备好的洞房里了。孙忆敏目光呆滞地看着门外，在这半年的时间里，她有几次试图逃跑，但最终都没有逃出去。她不知道这是哪里，又要逃到哪里。这附近几乎都是山，那种不高的山丘，有的山上长满树木，有的还光秃秃的。每次孙忆敏逃跑，村里的人，不管老的少的，就会倾村而出，一起寻找孙忆敏。
在这个村子里，这种事情已经达成了共识，因为，这村里的女人们，至少有一大半是买来的。刚买来的女人，总会逃跑的，所以，村里几乎每家都会有需要寻找这些女人的时候，既然有需要别人帮忙的时候，那就要先帮别人的忙。
有一次，孙忆敏逃跑后并没有被追到，她在那些大大小小的山里绕了一天，最终还是没有找到出去的路，她不得不摸索着，又回到了村里。孙忆敏在那一次感觉到了更深的恐怖，她的一生，就要耗在这个鸟不生蛋、吃都吃不饱的地方了吗？每次逃跑后，孙忆敏被找回来，都会饱受一顿毒打，然后被像拴狗一样拴起来，那是村里每户人家都有的铁链，长度只能在院子大小的范围里转转。在后来的时间里，孙忆敏没有再逃跑，她开始装作已经驯服的样子。孙忆敏开始接触村
