Chapter 4 4. Foundling

Here I have to talk about the life experience of Tian Otome first.However, this was only found out from some insiders after the treatment of this case was over, and some of the details were obtained only by deduction or guesswork.This case has since attracted the attention of important people from all walks of life, but the strange thing is that the news media has not been allowed to interview and report it. This Tian Otome is also pitiful, she is an outcast.The person who picked her up back then and later became her adoptive father was a honest and honest man named Tian Danong, who worked as a policeman in the public security system.That year, because he wanted to settle a case, he traveled thousands of miles to a small county in J province on business. After many years, that small county became a medium-sized city with a well-developed economy and trade.

It was dusk when he finished his official business. It was the beginning of winter, and the sky was getting dark very quickly. The lights on the street were already dim and scarce. At this moment, all the houses and roads melted into a piece of gray.Tian Danong seemed to have kicked something soft on the road paved with bluestone.He opened his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that it was a candle package wrapped in a bundle, and there seemed to be something wriggling in the bundle in the dark. He was taken aback, and when he opened the bundle, he saw a baby girl sleeping inside, about three or four months old, neither crying nor fussing, very cute, but her little face was already red and puffy from the cold.He looked around and saw that there were very few people on the road, and he knew that the baby girl had been abandoned here.But based on his many years of experience as a police officer, he knew that it was not because the parents intentionally wanted to abandon the girl, but because they had to do so for some unavoidable reason.

Why did Tian Danong make such a judgment?Because around the baby girl's neck is tied an emerald green pendant with a red thread, shaped like a gourd or a longevity lock.It was the size of an adult's fingernail. In addition, the baby girl was wrapped in a piece of pale white linen, on which were two plum blossoms carefully embroidered with brocade silk, and the word "Jing" was embroidered beside the flowers.If it is intentionally abandoned, it will not leave any clues and traces that can be found.This is obviously intended to leave a token as evidence when they meet again one day in the future.And there was a distinct scar on the girl's right forearm.

Tian Danong also judged the intention of the baby girl's parents to put her in this area.Although this street is deserted, it is the location of the government and public security organs, and not far away is the residential area of ​​the family members of government personnel.The girl's parents must have hoped that someone with good intentions, but someone with some power or cultural knowledge, could adopt her. This is also a coincidence and God has eyes. This farmer is different from other men. From the day he got married, he has been looking forward to having a girl. He is a man who likes daughters.But his daughter-in-law was unlucky and gave birth to a son for him.Tian Danong always felt in his heart that he owed something, and he felt unsatisfactory.Seeing this baby girl now, he felt that God had cared for him and let him pick up a girl empty-handed.He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Tian Danong picked up the baby girl and rushed back to his hometown after thousands of miles.With his status and connections as a police officer, he quickly completed the girl's household registration procedures and officially became her adoptive father.Since he already had a son, about two years old, named Tian Jianan, he named the girl Tian Yinu.This name was recommended by a very knowledgeable friend of his who worked in the court, saying that the word "B" not only ranks second, but also has beautiful and beautiful meanings. Da Nong Tian regards this girl as the apple of his eye, and his love even surpasses that of his own son.If you have delicious food, give it to Otome first, and if you have new clothes, buy it for Otome first.Tian Otome has been very well-behaved since she was sensible, and she is extremely clever. She is the most affectionate with Da Nong Tian, ​​who speaks "Dad" and shuts "Dad".When her adoptive father came home from get off work and was tired, she sang nursery rhymes to him and beat his back.I am very happy to make Tian Danong happy.This family affection caused the dissatisfaction of the wife and the jealousy of the son.The elder brother made trouble on purpose, always making fun of others and bullying the younger sister, which made the younger sister teary.For this reason, elder brother Jianan was often beaten by his father.In short, as long as the brothers and sisters argue together, regardless of whether the otome is wrong or not, Tian Danong will blindly favor the daughter and reprimand the son.The neighbors around know that this girl is his lifeblood.However, the life of the family is also very harmonious.

But the good times didn't last long. When Tian Otv was twelve years old, her adoptive father, Tian Danong, suffered from a sudden illness, and passed away as soon as he let go.Otome cried like a tearful child, and for some reason she had an ominous premonition in her heart; she felt that her good days were coming to an end, and she didn't know what fate awaited her in the future. Since the death of his father, the elder brother Jianan has suddenly changed his personality and temper. He seems to have matured a lot all of a sudden, and he began to love his younger sister.If there are delicious and fun things, I will give them to my sister.On holidays, he would take his younger sister to pick fruits from the trees, go fishing in the river, and walk a long way. Jia Nan felt sorry for his younger sister when he was tired, so he would carry her back home.This pair of brother and sister can often be seen by the river, in the bushes and on the street at sunset.Otome has actually grown into a young girl, but in the eyes of her brother, she is still the crying five or six-year-old girl.

One year, a group of wild children bullied Otome. When his elder brother Jianan found out, he beat the head of one of them to the point of bleeding.The mother wiped her tears and told the school teacher that the child was "bewitched". When Otome was sixteen, her mother was no longer a widow and remarried to another man.The stepfather used to be a businessman and a salesman who traveled all over the world. After earning some money, he settled down and opened a small store selling motor vehicle parts. He hired a few helpers and became the boss.The stepfather and Tian Danong have the opposite personalities, he is quite scheming, quick-witted, and frivolous.

At that time, the sixteen-year-old girl Tian Otome was already a natural beauty, and she became the most beautiful girl in the neighborhood.The stepfather had bad intentions for her, often instigated and seduced her, and sometimes peeked at her bathing.Tian yorv was shy and impatient, but she dared not speak out. She was afraid that her mother would lose face, and that her brother's hot temper would break out. At that time, sparks would hit the earth and something big would happen to the family, so she secretly swallowed her anger.Until one day when she was taking a nap and there was no one else in the house, her stepfather raped her.The timid and fearful Tian Otuni was so sad that all thoughts were lost for a moment, and she was in so much pain that she felt as if she had been snatched away by a tengu.

When the elder brother saw the situation of his younger sister, he asked what was going on. Otome didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she told her elder brother in detail.Man A is a young man with a vigorous spirit. He couldn't get angry for a while, so he went to his stepfather and started a scuffle.But after all, he was still underage, and he was slightly inferior in physical strength, and was beaten by his stepfather until his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen.My mother didn't like this adopted daughter who was not her own since she was a child, and regarded her as an outsider. It was only because of Danong Tian's face, and she didn't dare to shake her husband's love, so she endured it for so many years.Therefore, not only did she not feel sorry for Otome's experience, but she stood on the side of her stepfather and accused Otome of her wrongdoing.Calling her a "seductive little vixen" who "eats inside and out", threatened to "kick her out of the house".

Otome can only wash her face with tears.A man said to her: "Sister, this family can't stay here anymore, you run away!" Otome said: "Brother, where can I escape to?" A man said: "No matter where it is, the farther you escape The better. Then brother will find you." Man A pried open the cabinet at home, took out the money, and handed it to his sister as a bundle.Then take Otome to the cemetery where her father's ashes are buried. It is the Ching Ming season at the end of March, and the drizzle that wets people's spirits falls intermittently.There was a damp, fermented smell everywhere.The sharp green thorns of the blades of grass at the edge of the tomb, from the soil soaked in water, washed away the dead stems and roots of last year, struggling to stick their heads out on the ground, shining with the green light of life.A few hungry birds uttered soul-stirring cries and passed over the tomb.

Otome put three sticks of incense on Tian Danong's spiritual seat and kowtowed a few times.Recalling the benefits and love her father had shown her during his lifetime, she couldn't help crying loudly hugging the cold tombstone, making the already gloomy and desolate cemetery even more eclipsed. A man then took his sister to the long-distance bus station, bought a ticket and stuffed it in her hand. Otome asked sadly: "Brother, when will we meet again?" Man A said with red eyes: "The fifteenth of every month is the day when I come to see you." Otome asked, "Brother, where are you meeting?" A man said: "If you escape to a village, we will meet under the tallest and largest tree in the village; if you escape to the city, we will meet under the tallest building in the city." Otome said again: "Brother, you have to remember, you must come to me!" Man A said: "Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will never forget it!" At this time the car came, Otome hugged Aman and cried, "Brother, I don't want to go! I want to stay with my brother!" Aman became anxious, and he put on a face and said, "Let's go, you must go If you don’t leave, brother will never see you again!” When the bus arrived, Otome dragged her brother by the cuff, crying and refusing to let go.Man A hugged her vigorously, pushed her into the car, and shouted: "Go, go far away!" The doors closed and the car started.Otome knocked on the window in the car, shouting: "Brother, remember to come to me!" Man A ran behind the car, waving his hands as he ran, and said, "Go, don't come back again! Go far away!" Tian otuo cried like a tearful person in the car.Man A was worried outside the car, thinking again in his heart, this farewell to his sister, I really don't know when we will see each other again?Couldn't help feeling sad, and ran after the rear of the car.Relying on his bravery and physical strength, he actually ran four or five miles in one breath and broke a pair of shoes.When he took off his shoes and ran after him with bare ankles, the car turned a corner and disappeared.Then he sat down on the ground and shed two lines of sad tears... When Man A came home, he saw his mother and stepfather sleeping on the bed, so he took out a handful of care blankets, lifted the quilt, and stabbed his stepfather thoughtlessly. The stepfather was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital. Fortunately, he didn't stab any vital parts and finally saved his life.Man A was imprisoned, awaiting judgment.Because he was under 18 years old when he committed the crime, and his father Tian Danong's old comrades-in-arms and old boss thought about his late father's past affection, they all felt sorry for and felt sorry for the child, so they secretly helped him. He was only sent to reeducation through labor for three years.
