Two days later, an old classmate came to visit.

"Shen Mo, have you thought it through? If you can't bear to leave your beloved wife, then forget it. I'll go back tomorrow. But you have such a beautiful wife at home, it's normal for you to feel worried about leaving her alone at home." The man patted Shen Mo's shoulder.

"See you later."

Shen Mo grabbed the man.

"No, old classmate, let me think about it for another night, okay? I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow morning."

The man declined: "No, I have to leave tomorrow morning."

Shen Mo didn't know why, but he felt an indescribable anxiety in his heart. He urgently wanted his daughter to study in the UK.

He wanted the best life for his daughter.

"If I go with you, can you send my daughter to study in England?"

"As long as your daughter's English is good enough, it's fine. But you know that whether it's IELTS or TOEFL, you need a professional teacher to teach you, and that costs money."

He took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Okay, I'll go to the factory to complete the resignation procedures now."

The old classmate patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as you work hard, you will make money. Don't worry, you won't regret it."

After the old classmate left, the young woman looked worried: "Lao Mo, was the decision too hasty? What if he lied to you and you left, what would happen to me and my daughter? And we don't have any children yet."

"Don't worry, don't worry, dear, I will give the best future to our daughter and you. Don't worry about our child, after I settle down there, you can also go there with a tourist visa. We will have a bright future, believe me." Shen Mo hugged the woman.

The woman cried reluctantly, "Isn't it good for us to be in the country? I don't want to be rich. I just want us to be together."

"But life without money is so frustrating. I want my daughter and you to be well, and our family won't have to worry about money. We are still young. As long as I work hard for 20 years, we will have a bright future. Then I will never take risks again, and we can retire."

He had a very beautiful idea. With 20,000 a month, after deducting living expenses, he could save 3 million in 20 years. Maybe his salary would increase in the meantime. If he worked harder and took on a few more jobs, he might be able to save 5 million.

Even if it costs a lot of money for his daughter to study in the UK, and even if his wife gives birth to another child of theirs, five million is enough to raise two children, and he and his wife can live a good life with a few hundred thousand left for their retirement.

"Aren't we supposed to live our lives for our children? If our children live well, our lives will be complete."

The scene changed and came to Xiao Benzi's side. They were imprisoned in a small dark room. There was no one to turn to. Fortunately, he took advantage of the night and escaped from the remote mountain village with a few others.

He stole and begged on the streets, and finally found a Chinese community that offered various jobs.

Clean the city sewers, carry corpses, or be a third hand. If you are smart, you can manage a game hall or sell drugs.

The darkest, dirtiest and most tiring job in this city is his way of survival.

Shen Mo watched the client working like a spinning top as if he was watching a movie.

He was like a rat in the city's sewer. Only when he took out photos of his daughter and wife before going to bed did he feel a little comfort and motivation to live.

This kind of effort did have some effect. His wallet became fatter, and unlike others who spent their earnings on women, he sent the money to his wife and daughter through special channels.

Finally, five years later, he saw his daughter and wife who came with a tourist visa.

He specially booked a hotel. This night was very expensive for him, but he was very satisfied.

Two days later, the wife left with their daughter.

A few months later, his wife wrote to him and said she was pregnant. The doctor confirmed that it was a boy.

He worked even harder.

In addition to cleaning sewers and carrying corpses, he also took on a job washing cars at a car wash.

"Lao Mo, why do you work so hard? Is it worth it? Your children may not remember who you are, and your beautiful wife has slept with someone else."

"Impossible. Mina is not that kind of woman. Who would a person live for if not for her own children? How many years do we have to live? I have already made the child's biological mother go away. I just want to make money so that she can escape from the bottom of society and live a good life."

"Do you think your child will be okay if he goes to England?"

"How can it be bad? It's a developed country. She will go to the best university there and have a decent job. All I have to do is watch her from afar and wish her the best."

"Anyway, I don't understand your thoughts."

A year later, Shen Mo received a photo. It was a photo of his son's birth. He was white and chubby and looked very cute.

Soon my son learned to walk, went to elementary school, and then to junior high school.

He made an international call to his wife.

"Mina, where is your daughter? I haven't seen a photo of her in many years."

"I sent her to England. It's not easy to see her. I don't have her phone number. I'll pass her letter to you next time."

"it is good."

In a blink of an eye.

Twenty-eight years later, he went from a 30-year-old young man to a 58-year-old old man.

The memories came to an abrupt end, Shen Mo hugged his head and curled up in pain.

He knew that this was because the soul was incomplete, just like a box was split into two, and the pain was the edge of the box being torn.

But it was enough for him to recall his wife's name; he could look it up.

When daybreak came, the staff came.

"Today the volunteers will come and give you a haircut."

Shen Mo was in the crowd, waiting in line for the barber to come and cut his hair and shave his beard.

"Uncle, I didn't realize you're quite handsome. Can I take a picture of you?"

Shen Mo nodded.

Take a photo with the barber in front of the camera.

The next day, the staff gave Shen Mo the photo for the newspaper.

"This is the photo you took with your barber yesterday. They came here to do charity work and reported it so your family can see it and contact you."

"Thank you." Shen Mo thanked the staff.

"Uncle, did you remember anything today? We compared your DNA in the missing persons database, and did not find your DNA data. But this may be because you disappeared quite early and your family did not keep your DNA data." The staff member came to Shen Mo and talked about the situation of searching for his identity with a smile.

Shen Mo subconsciously avoided talking about what he recalled and shook his head.

Just at this moment, a man in his forties came back supported by a volunteer.

"What's going on here?"

"He was fighting with someone for a plastic bottle and jumped down from a height in panic. Fortunately, I saw him in time and helped him over."

"In this case, we need to go to the hospital to get our bones fixed, right?" another volunteer said as he looked at the man's ankle.

Shen Mo walked over and picked up the other person's foot without saying a word.

Others thought he just came to see how serious the man's leg injury was.

Only a faint "click" was heard, and the man screamed.

Several volunteers and staff members all looked at Shen Mo's hands and the man's feet.

"It just twisted. I fixed it." Shen Mo said calmly.
