The Hope You Gave Me: 14-He Xiangu

On the way back to the hostel, the two had a discussion in the taxi. Combined with the clues provided by Xunqian.com, they felt that the most urgent task was to find Tong Tianhai's cousin. It was obvious that he had contact with the traffickers, otherwise he would not I will get a child for my cousin so quickly, and I can choose.

Min Hui immediately called Tong Tianhai to ask for her cousin's number. After some conversation, the cousin said that the two children were given to Zhang Luo by a fellow from his wife's hometown. ". My cousin said that He Xiangu "walked" outside all the year round and worked various jobs. People in the village said she was a capable person. She should be in her 50s now and lives in a small village in Tongbi County, Yunnan Province. . The boy originally asked for more than 40,000 yuan, because the cousin's wife introduced the job to He Xiangu's son-in-law.

"She's actually a personal trafficker, right?" Min Hui said.

"She refuses to admit it, saying that these children are supernatural and their parents can't afford them, so they handed her over to find a good family and help them collect milk money." The voice of the cousin over there was buzzing. Loud, inaudible because of the heavy nasal sound.

"Then did she say where did the other child come from?" Min Hui asked again.

"I didn't say it, those who do this kind of thing are secretive, who would dare to ask more."

Min Hui cross-examined on the phone for a long time, trying to get He Xiangu's phone number, her cousin said that she had not been in touch since the transaction, and only knew that the village she lived in was called "Anya". If you go looking for it, everyone in the village knows her.

Min Hui hung up the phone and thought about it, and told Xin Qi, "This He Xiangu must be a human trafficker, but she should not be a first-class trafficker, but a second-class trafficker."

"How do you know?"

"Look: Tong Minghao's biological parents live in Harbin, and my brother was abducted in Hechi, Guangxi, one in the north and the other in the south. How could these two children end up in the same hands? This He Xiangu is a transit station. She doesn't know how many children she has sold, but it must be a one-stop abduction, transportation, and sale - a gang committed the crime."

"Formed an industrial chain?"

"Absolutely."

"Looks like we have to go to Yunnan in person and visit this He Xiangu." Xin Qi's finger quickly pointed on the phone, "It takes five hours to fly from Harbin to Kunming. Put your identity Show me the certificate and I'll buy the ticket."

Min Hui was a little nervous. When the two bought train tickets, she was reluctant to hand over her ID card, for fear that Xin Qi would see the flaw. Because Xin Qi used a passport, he could not buy tickets on his mobile phone, so they bought them separately at the ticket office together. But on second thought, he was only two months younger than Su Tian, ​​and the information on his ID card should not arouse suspicion. Just as she was about to dig out her wallet, she suddenly felt that one more thing was better than one less thing. Besides, she didn't want to take advantage of him in money, so she said, "No need, report your passport number to me, and I'll buy it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Qi grabbed his ear: "Here again! With me here, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Let's find your brother together, of course, if you find it, of course. If you can't find it, it's a honeymoon. ."

After paying more than 20,000 hospital fees for Tong Minghao, there was no more cash in the bank card, so Min Hui had to take out her ID card and give it to him. Xin Qi glanced at the address above: "Wow, you live in Ben Thanh?"

"Hmm."

"That's a big city."

"Yes."

“What are you doing there, working part-time?”

"Hmm."

"That—" He wanted to ask, but Min Hui quickly blocked, "What about you, where do you live?"

"New York, I told you so."

"Which street?"

“ParkAvenue.”

“Do you still live with your parents?”

"It's my brother's apartment."

"So you have a... brother?"

"Well." Xin Qi blinked, "Tian Tian, ​​are you curious? Want to know more?"

"I don't want to."

***

It was almost ten o'clock when the two returned to the hostel. Min Hui thought that the hairdryer in her bathroom was broken, so she went to the front desk to ask the waiter to replace it. Seeing that she was talking to the two middle-aged couples, she had to avoid it.

"...There's really no room available tonight, I'm sorry! Originally, a gentleman was planning to leave, but he said he would stay for another two days—" the waiter explained patiently, "There are no hotels in this area, The nearest one is called 'Sunshine Hostel', and it takes 40 minutes by car. Well, here is the address, so you don't need to call in advance, there is definitely a room available. Do you have a car? If not, I can help you call a rental car?"

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a fat body and red face, wearing a suit and looking like a private entrepreneur. The woman beside him was probably his wife, and she was over 1.7 meters tall. She was handsome and haggard. She was wearing a pink chiffon dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a teacher.

"We came here by car. Oh, if we don't have a room, we can just sit on this sofa for one night." The private entrepreneur said, pointing to a circle of sofas in the reception room.

"Yes, yes, we are here to see the children. We are very happy, very excited, we can't sleep at all, as long as there is a place to sit." The female teacher also said, "He has high blood pressure, I don't Don't worry he's driving at a time like this."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it. The hospital was full of mentally ill people, and the family members who came to visit were all saddened. It's really strange that these two are actually "extremely happy".

Min Hui's heart moved and she asked, "Uncle, are you here to see Tong Minghao?"

The entrepreneur nodded quickly: "Yeah, I'm his father. You are—Su Tian? Right? Xiao Wan told me that you came to find your brother and came here too, and he almost came here. The person was brought back. It was a pity that the DNA comparison said no."

"Yes." Min Hui smiled bitterly, "Congratulations!"

"Girl, don't be discouraged, keep looking, just like we study, looking for it for more than 20 years, you can always get the child back. No, the family is finally reunited! How wonderful! You must not Give it up!" The entrepreneur shook Min Hui's hand vigorously as he spoke, and began to burst into tears as he spoke, Min Hui looked sad for a while, and couldn't help sighing: This is the real father and mother, in my lifetime I am satisfied to see my son, I don't care that he is mentally ill, and I don't think it is a burden.

"Uncle, we have booked two rooms, and we can share one for you." Xin Qi said with a smile, "I can live in a room with her."

"That—is it convenient?" the female teacher asked embarrassedly, "I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

"Convenient and convenient." Min Hui said, "There are only two of us, so we don't need two rooms."

"Furthermore," Xin Qi lifted Min Hui's wrist to show them the ring, "We are already engaged."

"Wow, congratulations!"

***

Two hours later, the two were lying on the bed, breathless, looking at the ceiling.

"Xin Qi, we have a flight tomorrow, let's not bother tonight and have a good night's sleep."

"My self-control has always been good, I don't know why I can't see you."

"Don't lie, you've already lived in America, so you're not still a virgin, are you?"

"Of course, I have agreed to marry you, and of course I will protect you like a jade." Xin Qi suddenly turned over and pressed her under him, "Because you are my sun, my moon, my The stars..."

"Brother, are you going to build a solar system for me?"

"Yes, I will send you a small universe."

After speaking, she lowered her head and kissed her, making Min Hui unable to speak for a long time. The two were close to each other, neither of them were fat, and they could feel each other's bones poking at them through their muscles. The little pigeon in front of Min Hui's chest was struggling desperately in his hands, and her body was squeezed to the point of being out of the water.

"I don't believe it - you haven't had a girlfriend for so many years?" She was held in his arms by him, and she started another round of passion. She didn't dare to shout, so she had to bite the sheet again.

"I had girls chasing me in high school and college, but I didn't take that step at the last minute." He said softly, "If it wasn't you the first time, I would have a strong sense of guilt."

"I wouldn't mind." She tilted her head to the side and looked out the window.

"I will." He turned her head back and forced her to look at him, "How about you? Did you give your first time to any wild man?"

She bit her lip and shook her head.

"That's good." He smiled and nodded her nose, "Otherwise, I'd be very jealous."

The lights in front of the bed are dim and the air conditioner is noisy, but his eyes are peaceful, and there seems to be a fire inside, making her feel warm.

He hugged her tightly like a child, resting his head in her arms, and soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Min Hui quietly got up, ran to the front desk to buy a pack of cigarettes, sat alone on the steps of the backyard and started smoking.

She thinks of herself and her destiny.

Thinking about how that unfamiliar girl destroyed herself in a single thought pushed her on another trajectory in her life.

Why did she get on the bus, why did she jump off the Mushui River—it was all blurred. The arrival of Xin Qi is like a morphine injection for a dying person, and false joy replaces severe pain...

However, the pain didn't go away, it was always there.

Min Hui sat on the concrete steps, facing the moon in the sky, one by one, smoking a whole pack. When she returned to the room, it was already bright. After brushing her teeth twice, she returned to Xin Qi in a cold body.

He didn't notice, and hugged her tightly in half-dreaming.

The next morning, the two packed up their luggage and prepared to take the car back to Mingshui and then take a bus back to Harbin. Just after getting on the bus, Xin Qi suddenly asked, "By the way, you paid 27,000 yuan for Tong Minghao's hospital stay. Fei, do I have to get this money back?"

Min Hui looked at him and spread out her hands: "How do you take it? At this time, ask others to kill more scenery."

"Then we don't have the contact information of the uncle. When they leave, Tong Tianhai will not accept the account. Isn't this money going to waste?"

Min Hui didn't want to ask for it, but she was embarrassed to say it. Twenty-seven thousand dollars was all her savings, and she needed money to go to Yunnan to find her brother immediately, so she was also very confused.

"I don't know what to do," she had to say.

"Wait in the car, I'll get it."

Min Hui said "hey" and Xin Qi was gone. Fifteen minutes later, when I got back to the car, there was an extra envelope in my hand: "Here, take it back. They said a lot of thanks, and they insisted on giving you 10,000 more, but I didn't want it."

"You really do." Min Hui took out a stack of banknotes from the envelope and touched it in her hand.

"If his family is really in trouble, forget it. His parents don't look poor at first glance."

"Amazing." She gave a thumbs up, "A master of money."

"I know why your popularity was very good when I was a child, but mine is very bad."

"Why?"

"Because I do the things that offend people and wipe the buttocks. You are responsible for complaining, and I am responsible for fighting. You are responsible for crying, and I am responsible for revenge. You are responsible for beauty, and I am responsible for cruelty. Tian Tian—" He smiled lightly and touched her face, "With me by your side, I will help you find everything you suffer."
