Chapter 31 10. Alive, whole, clean

Huihui came out of Haiger Company and walked along the Rhone River for a long time on the street alone. She didn't know where she should go or what she should do.She saw an empty long chair under the shade of the trees by the river, walked over, sat down, rubbed her sore eyes, felt her head was blank, and felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest, so heavy and difficult that she was almost out of breath. Out of breath, she rubbed until tears flowed out, covered her face, and cried. Huihui cried for a long time. When she opened her eyes, it was still the Rhone River, the weather was still hot, she was still alone, and the nightmare was not over. She wiped away her tears and snot, thinking: I have cried before, but this cannot be solved The problem is, she can't get married anymore, and it's impossible to get Yang Xiaoyuan back, but at least she knows what happened, at least she knows how she got a zero egg, but she still has to live alone in the future.The honey shop has not opened for several days, and business has been delayed a lot. Now I have to go back to work, and there are so many things to explain to so many people.She went to the nearby sink to wash her face and planned to go back to the store.

On the way to the honey shop, a boy came up to her. It was a curly-haired Arab boy in jeans and a T-shirt, eating a sandwich, walking towards her and saying gruffly, "Hello." "...Hello." Huihui responded indiscriminately.Young Arabs who are idle in broad daylight had better stay away from them.She wanted to bypass the boy and pass by him, but he refused to let her go. He faced her face to face, blocked her way, and said to her while eating his sandwich: "The weather is too hot. Are you going on a trip?" "No, thank you." Huihui said, she took a few steps to the left, and the boy also took a few steps to the left.

Huihui stopped and looked at him: "What are you going to do? Please make way for me immediately, or I will call the police." The boy raised his hands, blinked his eyes, and acted innocently. Huihui ran a few steps and reached out to the side of the road to hail a taxi.Suddenly, a car stopped, but it was not a taxi.She froze for a moment, but before she could react, the Arab boy behind her came up, pressed her head and stuffed her in. Huihui fell on the back seat of the small car, her hairs standing on end.She has been in France for almost ten years, and she has never encountered such a thing except for entering a classroom once.She thought that the murders by gangsters in the newspapers and news were far away from her, but suddenly she was squeezed into the car and held hostage in broad daylight. At that moment, she was so nervous that the blood vessels in her body were about to burst.

There were three other people in the car besides her. The boy who pushed her into the car was still eating a sandwich nonchalantly; the driver in front drove the car faster and faster, all the way south; there was another person sitting in the passenger seat, I saw the back, wearing a white turban and black hoop. Huihui reached out to touch the pocket of her trousers. The sandwich boy flicked out a knife, shook it next to her face, and said with a smile, "What are you going to do?" Huihui said, "I have some money in my pocket." As soon as she finished speaking, the three people in the car laughed.

The boy put away the knife, ate the sandwich in one bite, rolled the paper into a small ball and threw it out of the car window, and said to Huihui, "We don't want your money, we want your people. Come with us." She has never offended anyone, and she has nothing against young Arabs. They didn't want to rob, so why did they tie her to the car for no reason?Huihui leaned back: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" The person sitting in front asked, "Don't you know Danny Hagrid?" "..." "If you don't answer, that's it." He looked back at her, "Then we didn't admit the wrong person."

Huihui froze for a moment, she knew this face. The man smiled at her: "Recognized?" "You bought honey in my shop." Huihui said. "You also poured me a glass of water." He said, "But I think that may not be the first time we met, and we may have met in many places where there is Danny Hagrid, don't you think?" ?” Danny Hagrid, Danny Hagrid. "You got me for Danny Hagrid?" "This reason is enough." After speaking, he turned away. So, it wasn't a sudden robbery, it was a planned kidnapping where she was being held hostage to hold Danny Hagrid back.She turned her head and looked out: "Where are we going?"

The person in front answered her: "We will arrive in Marseilles in four hours, there is a boat waiting for us, and then we will cross the Mediterranean to Tunisia." After eating the sandwich, the boy took out the cotton cloth and the bottle from his satchel, poured some brown liquid from the bottle on the cotton cloth, and covered Huihui's mouth while saying, "To save you from feeling uncomfortable, go to bed first. In a while." The pungent smell choked to the top of her head. All of this woman's bizarre ordeals are due to Danny Hagrid alone. Mohammad Assan was twenty-one years old, a tall, stocky Tunisian boy with black hair and eyes, a Sunni Muslim.He came to France for the first time when he was fourteen years old. He sat on a cargo ship for two full days and finally landed in Marseille. Immediately after landing, he sighed that this is a truly wealthy and comfortable country: there are fountains and drinking pools everywhere. , You can drink when you are thirsty!

You see my country is beautiful, so you want to travel here, because you only see the city of Tunisia, the blue sky and white clouds, the houses are also white, and you also see the blue sea.Yes, the beauty here is definitely not inferior to Cannes and Nice in France.There are also beautiful hotels here, and bath water is supplied to foreign tourists and rich people 24 hours a day.So comfortable, isn't it? But you don't know, you don't know that in ordinary residential buildings in Tunisia, there is only two hours of running water in the morning and evening.Water flowed from the faucet as thin as a six-year-old girl's finger.When praying, the whole city is very quiet, and you can hear the sound of the thin running water flowing in the containers of every household.

You'll hear it later, so listen carefully. And I am not so lucky. I was not born in this city where running water is provided for two hours each morning and evening. I live far away from the sea and very close to the desert. The water delivery car comes once a week. I knocked over the food, and my mother didn't punish me.But I drank too much water from other people in the house, and my father beat me up. Before I came to France, I went to a big city to find my uncle, and asked him to help me find a job that would earn me a boat ticket to Marseille.I can't get any job interviews, and they are all covering their noses. I know, they think I stink.

Can I blame me?If there is water, can I not take a shower? I had to borrow money from my uncle, and I had a shower, and then I got a job—a doorman in a hotel, because I'm a pretty guy, aren't I? thanks. Then I met a circus troupe, and I followed them to Marseilles. How about you? Oh, so you are an international student. Ah Sang felt that he had to stay in France even if he wanted to drink water and take a bath comfortably.He works hard, learns skills, and learns to use a machete from his master. It can be used as a weapon and as a juggler, defending himself and making money. He can also do many other tricks. fire.He likes to be clean and wears white robes when he is not performing. Like many skilled people in Arabian circuses, he does a little bit of smuggling in order to make money.

This year has not been a good one. Since February, there has not been a drop of rain in the whole of North Africa. There is less and less water. The car to deliver water to his hometown didn’t come once for several weeks. The regular supply in big cities was changed to three hours a day, and the government couldn’t do anything about it. The waterworks was controlled by a French company called Haiger. That's why he has been staring at Danny Hagrid, because Hagrid controls the water here, which is more precious than oil, and because of him, the people here are in dire straits. The government didn't care about it, so someone raised money, hoping that righteous people could kidnap this Danny Hagrid and at least regain control of the waterworks.Ah Sang felt that it was his duty to do so. He had a group of brothers under his command, and they started doing it right away. They had seen him once, having performed round knives for a week at a fancy hotel. A colleague was hired to perform acrobatics for a UBS anniversary celebration, and knowing at the last minute that Danny Haig was going to be there, they impersonated.Seeing that it was about to start, Danny Hagrid was talking to others at the time, but he suddenly turned around and left. They thought he had discovered something. It turned out that he had been racing with a woman to the top of the mountain at night. "This woman is you." Ah Sang said. Huihui looked at him: "Then he sent me home, you directed a car accident, is that so?" "It was decided on the spur of the moment, and the planning was very poor. My brother was injured more seriously than him." "You guys are really out of luck. At that time, he was fighting against others. He was like a soldier, and he was cautious. There were as many bodyguards around him as there were reporters. Are you thinking about him at this time? You..." Huihui frowned and looked at him, shaking her head , "If it were me, I wouldn't do it." Ah Sang asked: "If it were you, what would you do?" Huihui said: "What you want to get rid of is a Daphne. With all due respect, you are stupid thieves. This matter is worth spending time and preparing well. You have to sneak into his side, or bribe the people around him, master His whereabouts and rules of life, strategizing, careful planning, no matter the cost, even a human bomb..." "..." He looked at her, a little surprised, "The order I got was to coerce him to give up the ownership of the water plant, not to kill people. We are not terrorists." "...That's right, you are not terrorists, you are not professional enough, it was a mistake for you to arrest me." Hui Hui said, "I want him to die more than you do." "You are his lover." Ah Sang said. "..." Huihui rubbed her eyes, "I'm going to get married, but he ruined it just now, but he won't make any compromises to you because of me. Why don't you let me go back and let me plan how to get rid of him. Don't worry, I'm not an irresponsible person." She negotiated with ulterior motives, but her eyes were full of sincerity. Ah Sang thought for a while: "Do you want me to let you go? Impossible!" Huihui looked at him helplessly, he seemed suddenly wise. "Actually we did nothing wrong," Asan said, "We just contacted Danny Haig." "..." "He didn't immediately agree to abandon the waterworks." She said in her heart: Yes, of course, I knew it a long time ago. "But he promised to come here to negotiate, alone." Ah Sang looked at her, his black eyes unblinking, "He wants to see you first." It has been five days since Huihui was brought to Tunisia. She was locked in a small room on the roof. Looking out from the narrow window, there were dense gray roofs and wires.The kidnapper told her intermittently the ins and outs of the matter and Danny Hagrid's reply. The door was locked, and food and water were delivered regularly. On the first day in Tunisia, the young man who had bought honey from her, Assan, opened the door and asked her to go downstairs and take a bath in the same small room. bath.She saw a lot of young people about Ah Sang's age playing with guns and ammunition nonchalantly in the downstairs room. There were also women practicing belly dancing there. A boy yelled at Ah Sang in a local dialect she didn't understand. Ah Sang Immediately yelled back. Huihui took a shower and asked him: "What is he shouting? Is it about me?" Asang said: "That's right. He said, why not rape her? I said, this time I have to leave it whole." Huihui trembled in fright when she heard this, but she said calmly, "Did you rape any woman you caught before?" Ah Sang looked back at her, and was angry at that moment, his black eyes widened: "Do you know what I do?" Hui Hui said, "I only know that you kidnapped me from France to come here." "I am a guerrilla, working for the people. We are a well-trained and serious team. How could we rape a woman as soon as I catch it?" He became more and more annoyed as he spoke. He went up several steps in a row. Turning back to Huihui, she said, "Only the most beautiful will do." Huihui froze for a moment, what kind of logic is this? Ah Sang said: "I once caught the fiancée of a rich Italian man and wanted to earn some money to buy some ammunition. The woman's breasts and buttocks were very beautiful. At first we were patient and didn't rape her. We wanted to keep her whole. Later we I asked for money from that rich man, but after calling once, I couldn’t get back in touch. This man didn’t even want to give his fiancée a penny, and he even called the police, the Italian police—it’s better not to report that time The deal really didn't work out." "Salim was still a virgin, so he slept with this woman, and both of them thought it was good. Then we dumped that woman in Tunisia. Guess what happened to her?" "she……" "No, no, she didn't become a prostitute. She became the lover of another local rich man. When she saw Salim, she smiled at him." That was the first day Huihui was caught in Tunisia by these gangsters, and she was terrified when she heard it. Salim was the last virgin of the guerrilla group that was working for the people. He is the boy who escorted Huihui into the car while eating a sandwich, and then stunned her with ethanol. He was Ah Sang's younger brother. He was always eating and always looking Huihui up and down. One night Huihui was sleeping on her own bed, sweating profusely, almost out of breath, and then opened her eyes, with a face in front of her.Salim was lying on top of her, half of her trousers were taken off, she screamed out in fright, she didn't know where the strength, speed and means came from in the chaos, her right knee arched violently. Pushing against Salim's little chicken that had raised its head, the next shrill cry was from Salim.Someone went upstairs and opened the door, and it was Ah Sang and several partners who came in. They saw Huihui standing by the window, clenched her fists, gnashing her teeth, trembling all over, while Salim was writhing on the bed clutching his crotch in pain. What happened, everyone understands. Ah Sang was so angry that his eyes and face were red, he went up and tore Salim off the bed, threw him on the ground like a sack, and kicked Salim indiscriminately, regardless of the injury on his vitals.Assan beat him and cursed him loudly in Arabic they only understood until Salim cried and begged for mercy. Ah Sang's violent beating was genuine, until he was tired, and then he said to Huihui out of breath: "This kind of thing won't happen again, you, you go to sleep." But Salim remembered this incident on Huihui.Before that, Salim brought her every meal. The next day Huihui waited from morning to afternoon, until dusk, and Salim came up tremblingly, bringing a small plate of corn and rice with some gravy on it and a bowl of Water was placed on the floor of the room that closed her. Huihui picked it up and ate it, but Salim grabbed the small bowl of water and refused to give it to her. He stared at her and said bitterly, "You think Ah Sang is protecting you?" Huihui squatted on the ground, holding the bowl of corn and rice in her hand, and said, "Why would I think that way? He beat you just because you disobeyed orders, because you didn't obey his orders, how could I think he was protecting me?" ?” "That's not all he said," Saleem said, laughing. "He told me that if you keep you, you can get a good deal. If you're like that Italian woman, no one will come to your rescue." You, hehe, you belong to me, this is what Ah Sang said." Huihui took a mouthful of rice into her mouth, looked at Salim expressionlessly, and said nothing. Salim looked at the woman who had hurt him so badly yesterday, saw that she was not afraid of him at all, and was still eating big, and was so angry that he poured the bowl of water on the ground, and returned it to Hui when he left. Hui gave a big slap in the face. Huihui's ears were buzzing for a long time after being slapped by that guy, half of her face became hot, and she continued to eat after the pain passed. There is no water to drink this day, and the meal must be finished. It's not the Tunisia in that travel magazine, but you have to live wherever you are. Five days after Qi Huihui was kidnapped to Tunisia, Danny Haig, who got the news, replied to Ah Sang immediately: "Any conditions can be negotiated, but I have to see this woman, alive, complete, and clean. " Asan is young, but he is an old hand, and within thirty seconds, before the call could be traced, he delivered the message exactly: "Of course you can see her, you can see her when you come to Tunis—you one person." "Okay," said Danny Hagrid, "I'll go alone." "I'll let you know the specific time and pick-up location. I know you're a businessman, and you're the best at playing tricks..." Danny Hagrid didn't wait until he finished speaking: "No, the chips in your hand are too heavy, I won't take the risk, but don't forget my conditions." Before putting down the phone, Ah Sang said: "I will never forget, the source of water is yours, and I will not take that risk." "He promised to come here to negotiate, alone." Asang looked at Qi Huihui, his black eyes unblinking, "He wants to see you first, alive, complete, and clean. Look," he laughed, "You are not the only one who is smart, maybe I will make this deal." Huihui looked at him. "Go take a shower, Danny Hagrid should be brought by my people tomorrow."
