Northern Myanmar, the hell on earth I experienced

I don’t know if Brother Hao was feeling guilty or had a change of heart, but he was extra gentle to me tonight. Even when we were doing that kind of thing, he was very slow and leisurely.

After finishing, I was so sleepy that I simply took a shower and fell asleep.

As soon as I lay down, Brother Hao hugged me tightly. Since there was no quilt, I felt a little cold so I could only sleep close to Brother Hao.

Actually, regarding sleeping naked, no matter how long it has been, I am still not used to it and I always dream about it at night, dreaming about swimming and snowing. To put it bluntly, it’s because I’m cold.

I heard Brother Hao's even breathing, but what I was thinking about was the cloth bag with my name embroidered on it.

Afterwards, Hao asked me in a half-asleep state:

"That bracelet is really yours, right?"

"Yes! Otherwise, is it yours?"

Brother Hao was silent for a few seconds.

"Coco has one exactly the same."

"What a coincidence?"

After that, Brother Hao stopped talking, and what I was thinking in my heart was, this originally belonged to Coco, but no matter who asks me for it in the future, I will not give it to them, because it is clearly mine.

After a while, Hao Ge said again:

"This bracelet has two parts, Coco's is worn on the right hand, and you wear it on the left hand."

"That's even more coincidental."

After I finished speaking, I thought to myself: He is worthy of being Brother Tong, he plays the whole show, good, good, this Brother Tong is really trustworthy. But I feel more and more that it is a wise choice to join Brother Tong and join the wolf clan.

It’s great. No, it’s really great.

"Do you think it's real gold?"

I suddenly asked Brother Hao.

Hao hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Yes!"

"Isn't that valuable? Why don't you help me sell it? I'll give you half of the proceeds."

I think the best way to sell the stolen goods is to exchange them for money. Only in this way will Brother Tong not want them in the future. But then I thought, Brother Tong will not send me to jail for embezzlement.

Damn, this Tong brother is really insidious. Fortunately, I saw through it. He clearly wanted to use this bracelet to trap me and make me work for him for nothing. This Tong brother...

After that, I fell asleep while thinking about it.

I slept very soundly that night and had a very long dream.

"Come, Xiao Ran, you and your sister each have one. I'll leave this for you as a dowry in the future."

A woman with a unclear face handed two sewn cloth bags to me and a girl who was much taller than me and was standing next to me.

The girl took the exquisite cloth bag and said to the woman happily:

"thanks Mom!"

"You're welcome. This is for you."

Then the woman said to me:

“Xiao Ran, don’t you like it?”

"I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my mother forever."

"Girls are supposed to get married when they grow up. How can they stay with their mother forever? But I just don't want to get married, so mom, I don't want it!"

After I said that, I directly handed the cloth bag to the woman called mother in my dream.

"Then mom will keep it for you first, and give it to you when you grow up. Xiaoxi, mom will keep it for you too!"

The woman said to my fat girl.

After hearing what was said, the girl said:

"No, Mom, Xiaoxi has grown up, and Xiaoxi has to take care of herself."

"Then don't lose it."

"Don't worry, Mom, I won't lose it. I'll put it in the treasure box that my second uncle bought for me when I returned from my trip."

Then the girl from the stream said this and turned around and took out a metal box.

"My second uncle said that this thing cannot be opened even by a cannonball. It is the pride of Chinese products."

“Xiao Ran, do you want to put it in the treasure box that your second uncle bought for you?”

"No, Mom!"

Then I dreamed about it again.

"Xiao Ran, sister wants to eat an ice cream cone, do you want one?"

"No, Mom!"

"Then wait here for mom!"

Then I heard the woman yell:

"Morning light, catch the thief!"

As the woman called me, a muscular figure rushed over.

Then a man came towards me holding a lollipop.

"Little boy, can uncle ask you for directions?"

"Excuse me, how do I get to the China World Trade Center?"

"It's right behind this playground. Just go straight along this road."

"Thank you, little friend. Uncle will give you a candy to express his gratitude to you."

"Uncle, I don't eat candy."

"Would you like a drink? I see your mouth is a little dry. Where are your family members in such a hot day?"

"My parents went to catch a thief."

"Oh, really? Do you want a drink?"

The little me licked my lips.

"What flavor do you want?"

"Grape juice!"

"Okay, uncle will buy it for you."

After saying that, the uncle handed me an opened bottle of grape juice.

Then I clearly saw the uncle adding something into it, so I ran over and told the little me not to drink it, but even though I shouted at the top of my lungs, the little me still drank it.

Then I dreamed that I woke up in a van.

Then I couldn’t remember anything.

The whole world is dark.

And then, and then.

My foster mother stood before me holding a willow branch.

"If you don't call me mom, I'll beat you to death. From now on I'm your mom? Call me mom!"

"I want to go home—"

"This is your home!"

"No."

"If you say that again, I'll beat you to death."

Afterwards, I was beaten and felt pain, so I called my adoptive mother "Mom".

Then there was another long darkness, very dark, very dark.

Then I heard my adoptive mother and my adoptive father chatting.

"Why did you buy a girl?"

"That's enough. Isn't one enough? The situation outside has been so tense these years. It would be great if we could get one back."

"It can't be a girl!"

"Okay, stop talking. Who told you not to have children? Just raise the baby!"

"Hey, you still blame me. I always use the same tricks. It's useless."

"Is it me who can't do it, or is it you who can't do it?"

"Okay, stop talking. I think this girl is pretty smart. We should just take good care of her. Old Li at the head of the village has no son, so every New Year and other festivals, his daughter buys him a lot of food and drinks. Besides, it doesn't cost much to raise a daughter than a son. If it's a boy, we won't be able to take care of him when he grows up.

Girls are good and obedient. If they don’t do well, just give them a beating.”

"But I still want a boy."

"Let's talk about it later! I'll make one for you if I have the chance."

"Then you better hurry up. I heard that they are going to do a population census again. Didn't the two human traffickers who came to deliver the child today say that they will not do it again after this order. It may be really difficult to buy in the future."

"Don't listen to him. Where there is demand there is a market. This is the same as when we drive a truck to deliver goods. I see this girl is dirty. You should wash her and change her into nice clothes. Buy her some delicious food. After all, you can't just beat her up."
