“Moitated by the word and shouted suddenly as she shook the boy's hand off
Little Li Sui was shocked, he reached out his hand again in a hurry to grab the rim of the woman's skirt, “Mom, don't leave me behind”
”How many times have I told you? Don't call rily
Little Li Sui was very scared, he didn't understand why She was his mother, so he called her ”mom” Everyone else had a mother, so why couldn't he call his ed his words shyly, “Aunt Li”
The woood spirits after that and turned to the house Little Li Sui trotted closely behind her
This place was a huge traditional style coe place A pond was in front the coarden was behind it, in the middle was a tree with a trunk that had a circumference of three human arm-spans The outermost part of the complex was surrounded by a tall wall, a dense and cold network of iron thorns atop the wall,the house completely isolated from the outside world
Li Sui had lived in the complex fro outside was rare Occasionally, he would go outside, but he was in a car and it was alith Mr Xu
Mr Xu was a tall man in his fifties, he was a little fat, but alore a suit that didn't fit well, he looked like a
When little Li Sui was still very young, Mr Xu often caht Li Sui how to read and write, bought hiave him toys, and even took him out to see the lanterns Those were Li Sui's happiest childhood memory Whenever the sun went down, little Li Sui would sit on the doorstep and wait for Mr Xu to coh Mr Xu was not as good-looking as other people's father, he was , he never forced Li Sui to do his homework, nor scolded him, he even took him on car rides One time, when Mr Xu came to pick him up, little Li Sui asked him in a tiny voice, “Are you my father?”
“I'm your father”
“Then can I call you my father then?”
Mr Xu smiled and said, “Yes”
Little Li Sui slipped away from him and ran quickly in the front, he said, “I have a father!”
When he returned home that day, little Li Sui just couldn't wait to tell his mother about it Unexpectedly, when she heard it, she was furious His mother threw all of his candies and toys into the lotus pond, even his favorite Monkey King action figure
“If I hear that froain, I'll throw you in there too Do you hear me?”
little Li Sui did not cry, but his tears were rolling in his eye sockets
From that day onwards, he seldom saw Mr Xu He didn't even corew older and becaradually pieced everything together to get the whole story
His mother was a beauty in a re official When Mr Xu accompanied another official on a visit to the town, he took a fancy to his mother Mr Xu already had a family at that time, but he was lonely and wanted to seek some excitement He repeatedly hinted at the lady but had no results So, at the end, he simply kidnapped his mother and locked her up in this coh his uished appearance and had dignity Her faet angry and s her breath, she dared not voice out her anger At first, she tried coet radually became tired, she just sat in the house in silence every day
After around two years, Li Sui was born He was born good-looking, with eyes like that of his mother's He had an adorable face, but for so in the co him a little warmth occasionally, no one wanted to be close to hiht of Li Sui as the proof of her hurew up to beco in such a coate was sroup ofdown each and every door inside the house At that tiarden A that official Xu had fallen, they were here to liquidate his assets and confiscate his dirty money
All of a sudden, scores of people were in the backyard garden, everyone was hurryingly taking and s Little Li Sui had never seen so htened He did not even re him out of the complex with her in the commotion When Little Li Sui finally came to, they were already in a forest in the countryside
It was getting dark, and little Li Sui ran for so long already, he was exhausted little Li Sui tripped over the roots of a tree on the ground and fell down, feeling the sudden emptiness in her hands, his mother stopped and looked down at him
It was around the tiht sipped through the gaps in the leaves, shi+ning on both of their eyes little Li Sui raised his head up froround with difficulty When their eyes met, little Li Sui could see the intentions in his mother's eyes, she didn't want him anymore
The next second, sounds of rapid footsteps echoed the forest Looking at the person who fled alone in front of his eyes, an unspeakable fear rose in his heart Alround and chased her, he cried and ran
little Li Sui was still so small, there was no way he could catch up with an adult so easily, he fell to the ground again
little Li Sui cried till he was out of breath, he screamed with a hoarse voice, “… Mom!” He had no relatives, he only had his mother left, even if his mother didn't treat him well, she was still his mother
His voice echoed in the woods, when the wolared back at Li Sui fiercely
little Li Sui was frightened and helpless, he couldn't stop tre He lowered his head to wipe his tears, which hen he was knocked on the head He was shocked, raising his head up, he saw his rinding so hard that little Li Sui could hear theain, “What did you call me? What did I say you should call me?”
little Li Sui was in a trance for a moment, he sta on over there? Are you kidnapping children?!” Two patrolling officers appeared on the side of the woods, they were probably attracted by the crying, and swung the flashlight over to the that so to catch theer, so they left in a hurry
They left bringing nothing, they had nobeen i been out of touch with the world She did not kno the world was now and whether she could turn to the police for help
When the gate was broken, her first reaction was to flee, but after escaping, she realized that being iht years didn't only apply physically, a as also gradually built around her heart
To be safe, she decided not to go to the police but bring little Li Sui ho door to door to pay for the journey, for fear of being discovered by Xu's fao to crowded places She only went to nearby villages and towns to seek food and travelling expenses The people living there were mostly uneducated, they were traditional and conservative Some men noticed her beauty and had evil ideas, they wanted to catch her to sell for ers rescued her
Li Sui's ht, not even daring to beg forthe route in her e, all of their money was used up and they didn't have food anyhed all the tier walk
Little Li Sui was scared and anxious, he went around the village asking for help The barefoot doctor in the village was a nice person, he sympathized with little Li Sui and his mother The doctor did a si, the doctor was shocked
”This isn't a sis I suggest you go get an X-ray fro that Li Sui's mother only shook her head, while little Li Sui said in a childish voice, ”But we don't have money”
The doctor seemed to find this difficult as well, he pointed in a direction and said, ”There are so blood, they buy blood with quite a high price Maybe you can ask the a bit, Li Sui'sbooth with her There was quite a line at the selling booth, ers from nearby places This place was obviously unauthorised, they lacked even the ienic precautions, the needles were often reused
Even though she was isolated from the world for years, she still had basic public health knowledge She was afraid of getting infected, but after asking around, everyone said there was no contagious disease outbreaks nearby She only dared selling her blood after obtaining that information
Technically, a patient like herself should not be selling blood here, but she couldn't care about that now If she waited any longer, they ht just die here before they could ever reach ho 600h for road fares Her gaze fell onto little Li Sui, he seely
The fake doctor doing the aspiration looked at little Li Sui in shock and said, ”Aren't this kid too young, are you sure you want me to take his blood?”
She hardened his heart and said, ”Yes”
Another person as responsible for aspirating blood looked their way and said, ”You need money that badly? We'll do an exa happens, we aren't responsible”
After that little Li Sui was brought into a dark room, there were a few people inside, both hout the whole process little Li Sui was in a trance, he only knew that the people hooked him up to so sounds for his whole duration in the room
After the examinations, the fake doctor aspirated 100 dizzy after that, hishiht, they were planning on hiring a ot to the village entrance, they were stopped by a pair of ood people
”Will you sell your kid?” The man asked directly
