After Becoming a Little Sister

The dumb little girl stared forward with a slack look—is this her mother's voice?

"Please...let me go..."

The next second, the slack eyes refocused, and the dumb girl was so frightened that she wanted to jump up, but because her legs were weak, she staggered and fell down again. The rusted lower rail was bent and snapped open with a loud noise.

Half of the mute girl sank into the rusty iron door, and only at this moment did she hear the source of the sound clearly.

It's inside - there's someone in the iron gate!

Whether it's surprise or surprise, the dumb girl has never felt like this time that human voices are as beautiful as the sounds of nature.

Her eyes suddenly burst into bright light in the darkness, struggling to hold on to the almost rusted railings around her, twisting with all her strength, repeatedly bending them——

"Boom—"

With a soft sound, along with the falling of rust residue, she snapped the last railing blocking her way.

The mute girl slipped in through the small hole, staggering almost fearlessly towards the source of the sound.

A huge cardboard box stood in front of her, and the strange touch did not make her retreat. After confirming that there was someone inside the box, she started a tug-of-war with the box—it was a huge freezer box, even though It takes a lot of effort for an adult to lift it up. The bald man who kidnapped Nuan Nuan used this thing to hold the dish like Nuan Nuan to prevent mice and cockroaches from gnawing on his precious goods. A few mouthfuls.

But the thick corrugated paper is as hard as ice in the humid underground pipes in winter. A little girl who crawled hard for a long time without getting a grain of rice didn't even have the strength to lift it up a crack, so she could only helplessly He patted the cardboard box, trying to get the attention of the people inside.

"Please let me go...Uncle...I'm hungry...I have no money at home..."

Nuannuan girl's voice was hoarse, her voice was shattered from crying, and she spoke words that the mute girl couldn't understand with a tone of fear.

The mute girl opened her mouth to respond, but she could only make a simple 'ah—' sound, and her voice was so hoarse that even she couldn't hear it clearly.

Swallowing his throat, his dry throat seemed to be burning with fire.

The mute little girl pursed her lips, heard the cry of the other party, and then looked back at where she came from.

It was an unrecognizable path in the darkness, just like the cardboard box blocking the way in front of him.

The other person was not an adult, not a savior, just a kid who sounded like he was trapped here.

My sister said that you should stay away from this kind of situation—you should stay away from any danger, such as crying children, old people who fell, young people who are fighting, and those with fierce eyes. Middle-aged people, these are potential dangers that should not be approached.

The dumb little girl has seen too much darkness in the slums. Although she is still young, she can't understand how serious the crimes are, but she still has a completely different cognition and world view from ordinary children, and she is better able to understand what is happening now. what.

A child crying here, covered by a huge cardboard box, can only mean that someone has trapped her here.

Where is the person?who's that person?Does that person happen to be around right away?

Go... I should go quickly...

And even if they tried to save her, would the two children be able to get out?

The next second, the dumb girl raised the half of the railing in her hand and poked it down towards the cardboard box—I don’t know!

I don't know, so I'm going to try it!

It's as if she is also desperate, she wants to find her sister, if she has a sister, she must be like this.

She must also want to go home. If she has parents, then her parents should not be like her own parents, they should be like normal parents, anxiously looking for her missing child.

If you also have a mother, then your mother will also be sad.

This world is already so sad, so don't be sad anymore...

"Pffff—"

The thick corrugated cardboard box was poked with a hole by the tip of the railing, and the sound of being blocked behind the cardboard box became real.

She can talk, she has a beautiful voice, she's crying—

The dumb little girl tore the big thick cardboard box with difficulty, struggling with her hands and feet, and even her small hands couldn't tear open the gap, so she just bit her mouth, pulled the thick cardboard out of the damage, and the corners of her delicate mouth were covered by the cardboard. Separated from the bloody mouth, the salty smell spread in her mouth, but she didn't have the slightest intention to stop, instead she looked like a crazy little beast.

After a while, the mute girl stood in front of the figure panting, stretching out her hand to try to feel the existence of the other person.

She stretched out her hand cautiously and touched a piece of fabric. The fine stitches and warm touch made her subconsciously retract her hand, her fingertips folded in the palm of her hand, a little at a loss.

Nuannuan girl cried very sadly and was also very scared. She couldn't see the figure of the other party in the dark, she could only hear the sound, and thought it was some kind of beast.

The mute girl struggled to make a sound of 'Ahh—', Nuannuan girl seemed to recognize that it was not the cry of a beast, she sniffed, and asked doubtfully, "Yes, is it a human?"

The not tender little hand found her palm along her arm, and then put the palm on it.

It's a person—the opponent's hands are cold, but they are indeed people.

Nuannuan girl suddenly wanted to cry. Being trapped in the dark for a long time was like confinement. Her voice was hoarse from crying, her eyes were swollen from crying, she passed out and woke up again, her legs were numb. She has never experienced such a difficult experience.

She didn't know that the person in front of her was more difficult than her, but this did not prevent the two cubs from having a feeling of finding a companion at this moment.

"I have a light on me!" Nuannuan girl struggled with her bound hands: "It's in the pocket of my inner clothes!"

In fact, it was not a suitable lamp, but a small toy ball in the night market-the kind of colorful lantern embedded in a bouncing ball that glows as long as it is shaken, but in this dark environment, any light source It's all a gift.

During the time when she was tied up before, Nuan Nuan tried to save herself countless times, and recalled that there was something on her body that could help her.

But besides the clothes, there are only four things on her body, one is the little colored ball, the other is the jade pendant around her neck, the other is a big white rabbit toffee in her inner pocket, and she just wears it on her wrist The string of pearl bracelets not long ago—the bald man who kidnapped her seemed to know that she had nothing on her that could contact the outside world, so he just searched her coat pocket a few times, not paying attention to the small things she was carrying indiscriminately.

It would be better to say that the size of the mobile phone is like a small brick, which cannot be hidden by this kind of child at all.

The dumb little girl touched the rope in her hand, tried it, and clumsily untied the rope buckle, and then found with some distress that there were still two iron chains on her calf, which trapped her behind her like shackles. on the fence.

But as the rope in her hand was untied, Nuannuan girl couldn't wait to take out the small ball in her arms and shake it vigorously.

In the next second, colorful lights appeared in front of the eyes of the two people—both sides also saw each other's appearance.

The dumb girl's clothes were messy, her body was covered with dust and stains, and her small face had scratches like cats, except for a pair of eyes that looked like stars against the light, big and bright.

From the perspective of the dumb girl, Nuan Nuan is as gorgeous as a little princess kidnapped by a dragon. Whether it is the delicate dress or the carefully braided hair, they all have the luxury of a wealthy family. The string of pearl bracelets that gleamed under the light made her look like a descendant of the rich and powerful in the upper class.

She probably understood why the little princess in front of her was locked here - someone must have kidnapped her!

Thinking about this, the dumb girl's first reaction was to take her to escape, but those two shackles made her unable to think about it.

Nuannuan girl stood up dragging the iron chain, took off her little coat, got entangled in the two sections of railings, and then began to look for a suitable stick, and explained in a low voice: "When I was watching TV... That's it...then twist..."

She gestured, and then found that the railing in the dumb girl's hand was very suitable, so she quickly took it and tried it.

But it didn't work. Instead, the clothes made the sound of cloth being torn apart.

The dumb little girl's eyes lit up, she went up to untie the little gown, then turned and ran out, thought for a while and then came back and snatched the luminous ball from Nuannuan girl's hand, exclaiming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound.

Nuan Nuan watched in astonishment as her figure ran out with light, and got away from a small hole. Then she reacted and yelled in panic, wanting to let her come back.

But she didn't come back...

Nuannuan girl sniffed, curled up in the corner with her hands on her knees and cried, her sobbing voice was low and exhausted.

Until such a moment, she saw the beating brilliance from the gap between her knees.

The dumb little girl held a wet coat in one hand and the glowing ball in the other, and smiled brightly at her.

"..."

"Ah——" the dumb girl gestured for the coat, which was her own clothes, much stronger than Nuan Nuan's little gown.

She rolled up the coat on the railing, imitating the action of warming a girl before, twisting it vigorously, trying to break the railing.

The railing made a distorted creaking sound, and the cracked paint fragments and rusty debris were scattered one after another. Nuannuan girl hurriedly joined in. They tried hard for a long time, and finally said "cracking—— "In the crisp sound, the railings that were already rusted broke abruptly.

Although Nuannuan girl's legs are still locked with iron chains, as long as she runs away with the chains, there will be no problem.

The dumb little girl sneezed, and then handed Nuannuan girl's little gown back to her. She was carefully taking off the deformed wet coat and trying to put it on again.

Nuannuan girl looked at her body, stopped her move, put her gown on her, then pulled off the skirt and the underwear, folded it into pieces and stuffed it into her gown as filling: "You can't wear wet clothes... Grandma taught me how to make doll clothes..."

She talked for a while on her own, and found that the mute girl didn't respond, so she realized it and gestured: "Can you speak?"

As she spoke, she pointed to her mouth and made a 'Hello——' sound.

The mute little girl shook her head and let out an 'Ah—' voice, but even that sound was faint, more nasal.

"...You must be a fairy. Grandma said that children who cannot speak are transformed by fairies. Their singing voice is so beautiful. Once they speak, they will go back to the sky..." Pursing her lips, Nuannuan girl grabbed her Hold each other's hand: "Go, let's go out first!"

Although she didn't know what Nuannuan girl was talking about, the dumb little girl understood the move of pulling her out.

She raised the small ball in her hand—it was their only light source and their only vitality in the tunnel below.

The two little girls got out of the iron gate and walked for a while along the direction that the dumb girl hadn't explored before. Then they held hands against the wall under the light source of the small light ball and kept checking. It was with great difficulty that they discovered the existence of the stairs.

Only then did the mute girl understand why she couldn't find her way out in the dark, because the stairs that climbed up were not connected to the ground, but were suspended in mid-air at a height of nearly 1.5 meters from the ground.

The inner walls of these culverts, which are big enough for adults to bend over, are almost all kept smooth, only the raised manhole cover channel has a U-shaped ladder embedded in the edge, and the dumb girl groped all the places she could reach in the dark , and no upward path can be found.

But now they have light...

The railing was a bit high for them, and the dumb girl gestured to her shoulder, then pointed to it.

The two children who communicated with gestures were surprisingly tacit, Nuan Nuan nodded heavily, leaning on the wall and carefully stepped on the shoulders of the dumb girl who was a little taller than her, when the latter stood up with trembling legs, He grabbed the shortest first-level handrail with all his strength, and then tried to climb up.

After she had climbed two sections, the dumb girl supported the bottom of her foot with her hand and sent it up a section. Then Nuannuan hugged the ladder tightly, hung her right foot down, and shook it in the air, signaling to the dumb little girl The girl grabbed it and climbed up.

The two children climbed up the escalator using the most primitive way of using a human ladder, but the way up was blocked by a dark metal manhole cover.

This kind of metal manhole cover that requires an adult to pull hard with an iron hook on the ground is undoubtedly a natural barrier for the two children.

He tried his best to support the manhole cover, but with the efforts of the two little girls, the heavy metal manhole cover still fit tightly and remained motionless.

They tried for a while, but they didn't hear the sound of vehicles or people passing by above, so they couldn't even talk about calling for help, only the sound of the night wind whistling and the faint meowing of cats.

……mew?cat?

Nuan Nuan's eyes lit up, and she remembered the cat in grandma's house when it frowned, especially the arched back.

When I was at grandma's house, the thick short table was overturned by the cat that suddenly arched its back!

If you can't do it with your hands, then use your body...

Nuannuan girl gestured a few times excitedly, and then, under the puzzled eyes of the dumb girl, tried her best to climb up the top ladder.

The U-shaped metal ladder, which is not considered wide, is made of bent solid steel and poured directly into the sewer pipe wall. It is strong and heavy, and can bear the weight of a child, but it cannot stand completely.

It wasn't until Nuannuan girl squeezed half of her body into the gap between the ladder and the manhole cover that the dumb girl vaguely understood her thoughts, and hurriedly climbed up a space, reaching out to protect her side. Hold on so she doesn't fall off.

Nuannuan girl took a deep breath of the turbid air, supported the climbing ladder with her hands and feet, and pushed her back upwards, exerting all her strength with her small body.

The heavy metal manhole cover made a loose sound, revealing a gap, and the cool evening wind, engulfed by the dim street lamp light, swept in along the gap, illuminating the dark gap.

The dumb little girl had quick eyes and quick hands, and inserted the part of the guardrail she was carrying into the raised gap to block the gap.

Although the other side of the sunken manhole cover is limited in shape, as long as there is a way to open it, it can be squeezed out even if it is squeezed-no matter how thick the manhole cover is, it will not break the body of the child who is squeezed out up.

A few minutes later, two messy little girls appeared on the ground next to the manhole cover, lying in the middle of the cold road, not wanting to move at all.
