My family is more like patchwork, with a sense of discord and weirdness everywhere, as if a gust of wind passes by, this family will fall apart.

——Xiao Ming

"Woooo..."

In the slightly cold late night, there was a little light leaking from the gaps in the stairs. The little boy woke up from his sleep because of the need to urinate, and when he went to the bathroom, he suddenly heard the little girl crying softly.

The boy hesitated for a moment, followed the voice and went up to the second floor.

The little girl was crying in the toilet between the attic and the second floor.

"Lin... Xixi, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing the little boy's question, the young Lin Xixi stared at him with red eyes, and said in an aggrieved tone: "Xiao Ming, I miss my parents..."

Xu Ming was taken aback, his immature face was full of perplexity, "Where... are your parents?"

"I don't know exactly where they are..." Lin Xixi choked and said, "But I really want to see them! I will definitely listen to them and never run around again..."

Xu Ming was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "How about I go and beg Dad to let him let you go?"

After hearing this, Lin Xixi's expression became extremely terrified. She shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes, and repeated: "Don't tell him! Please don't tell him..."

"why?"

"I...I don't want to go back there...It's dark and damp there, they will give me to others..." Lin Xixi's immature voice was full of fear, she suddenly grabbed Xu Ming's hand, with Cryingly said: "I will stay here well, please don't tell him!"

"Da da--"

"Don't tell him anything?"

A mature woman's voice sounded, causing the two children hiding in the toilet to tremble in shock.

Xu Ming exclaimed, "Mom?"

The woman stood at the door of the toilet, holding a candle in her hand, most of her body was hidden in the darkness, only her face was illuminated by the light.

She is very good-looking, a large part of Xu Ming and A She's good looks is due to her; but she doesn't like to smile very much, and she is not very gentle, she always has a sullen face all day long.

She still had a sullen face now, but when she looked at Xu Ming, her frown was slightly relaxed.

She has always been gentler to Xu Mingyuan than to A She.

"Little Ming, what are you doing here at night?"

Lin Xixi leaned timidly to Xu Ming's side.

Xu Ming noticed Lin Xixi's small movements, patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and then explained: "Mom, Xixi is a little homesick..."

"Homesick" The woman's expression froze for a moment, she looked at Lin Xixi and said, "Don't say that in front of that person, or you will be sent to the attic immediately."

Lin Xixi grabbed Xu Ming's hand in fear.

"That person..." Xu Ming repeated in a low voice, "Is it Dad?"

Hearing Xu Ming mention this person, a look of disgust flashed in the woman's eyes, and she reminded: "Don't tell that person everything."

Xu Ming was stunned, but didn't say anything.

He knew the slightly weird relationship between his parents at home.

Because compared with other people's parents, the mother's attitude towards the father is extraordinarily distant.The mother never refused to be close to the father, but she never took the initiative to get close to the father.

Even when her father took the initiative to get close to her mother, her face was numb and indifferent, and sometimes there would be a flash of disgust on her face.

Mother seems to hate father.

Xu Ming thought about it, and tentatively said coquettishly: "Mom, can you let Lin Xixi go back to find his parents?"

"Go back?" The woman looked at Lin Xixi with a sneer: "I can't even go back, do you want to go back?"

"Woooooooo..."

Lin Xixi was so startled that she burst into tears.

"To shut up!"

"Fuck-"

The woman picked up the shaving knife on the sink and scratched the mirror vigorously, and the friction between the two made an extremely harsh and sharp sound.

"Wow - don't woo..."

The woman laughed strangely and sarcastically: "Hehehe..."

"Mom!" Xu Ming frowned, and raised his hand to grab her arm: "Don't do this, this voice is too harsh."

The woman paused, and the gentle eyes that were looking at Xu Ming instantly turned a bit resentful. Her eyes didn't seem to be aimed at Xu Ming himself, but hated someone through him.

She shook off Xu Ming's hand without hesitation, and watched Xu Ming coldly hit the wall because of her momentary unsteadiness.

"hiss--"

Xu Ming clutched the back of his head that was hit, squatting down with red eyes.

"Little Ming!"

Seeing Xu Ming being thrown against the wall, Lin Xixi screamed, then immediately went over and lightly touched Xu Ming's wound, and cried, "I...I don't want to go home...Auntie, don't How about a little sleep?"

The smile on the corner of the woman's mouth froze.

Only then did she look at her child with clear eyes, showing guilt and disbelief, and said, "Xiao Ming?"

Xu Ming has already recovered from the pain just now.

Lin Xixi choked up and said, "Xiao Ming, how are you doing?"

"It's okay." Xu Ming raised a gentle smile and said, "There's no bleeding, it's just a bump."

"Xiao... Ming, mom... Mom really..."

Xu Ming looked at the woman quietly, raised his hand to gently pinch the corner of the woman's clothes, and shook: "Mom, it's fine."

This was not the first time he had seen his mother show such a terrifying expression.

It can be said that he is used to how to deal with a mother in such a state.

The woman lowered her head and looked at the fleshy little hand pinching the corner of her clothes. Her eyes finally softened. She held that cute little hand in her palm, then rubbed it against her cheek, and said:

"Xiao Ming, forgive mom..."

"Mom didn't mean to kill you."

"Yeah." Xu Ming obediently let the woman hold his hand, and said with a smile in his eyes, "I know, Mom."

Mother didn't like Ah She, and he was the closest member of the family.

So, he had seen anything terrible about his mother.

No matter what happened to him, in the end all he could do was say "it's okay".

The woman's emotions gradually stabilized, and her expression became more gentle. She hugged Xu Ming and said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry. As compensation, Mom will take you to the market tomorrow, okay?"

Xu Ming buried his head in the woman's neck, and finally said "um" in a low voice.

"Go back to sleep." The woman looked at Lin Xixi without any expression, "Don't come out so late."

Only then did Lin Xixi cover her mouth sobbing, and looked at Xu Ming with worry and fear.

Xu Ming smiled comfortingly at her.

Only then did Lin Xixi leave the toilet.

When the woman wanted to hug Xu Ming and go back to sleep, Xu Ming grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Mom, I know."

The woman hugged him for a while: "What do you know?"

Xu Ming put his little hands around the woman's neck obediently, leaned his head on the woman's shoulder, and said softly: "Mom, maybe in your opinion, I am still young. But I also know the truth of some things."

The woman hugged Xu Ming without saying a word.

Xu Ming continued: "What Dad did is wrong, he should let Ah Wu and Lin Xixi go back!"

"So Mom, please..."

"Ah……"

The woman laughed, and looked up and down with a look that made Xu Ming's hair stand on end, as if she was looking at something rare—yes, that kind of look.

She said: "I didn't expect that bastard with black intestines could have a child with a heart like a Buddha."

Xu Ming didn't like this feeling very much, looking at the woman with big black eyes, it seemed that he was accusing her of bad attitude.

The woman smiled again, but it wasn't that suffocating smile, it was more of relief and happiness.

She kissed the top of Xu Ming's hair, and murmured: "That's right, if you are too much like that person, I won't want you."

Because the elder brother A She is too much like his father, so he doesn't want his elder brother?

Xu Ming's hands around the woman's neck tightened a bit.

...............

The woman took Xu Ming to the market early in the morning and did not come back until noon.

Xu Ming brought things for A She, A Wu and Lin Xixi.

A She has been silent since he was a child, so he didn't say good or bad about the things his brother brought, but just took the things and said "thank you" before returning to the room.

Although A Wu is A She's child bride-in-law, she is two years older than Xu Ming and A She, and she is closer to Xu Ming who has a gentle and sunny personality.

As soon as she got the gift, she asked Lin Xixi happily: "Xixi, what did Xu Ming give you?"

"It's a rabbit!" Lin Xixi smiled and raised the rabbit doll in her hand, hugging it lovingly: "I like it very much!"

The two girls laughed happily, but Xu Ming who was standing in the corner was clutching his wrist with a numb expression.

…………

"I want to help you get out of here."

Xu Ming quietly found Lin Xixi and A Wu, and this was the first sentence he spoke.

Ah Wu was full of doubts, staring at Xu Ming without saying a word.

Lin Xixi was stunned, her eyes sore, she tried her best to suppress her tears and said, "Don't say that, I know it's impossible."

"I know I can't go home, so don't say such things."

"Xixi." Xu Ming said, "I know it's difficult, but I still want to give it a try. Even if I can't help everyone, but I can save one person, right?"

Although Ah Wu was forcibly brought here, she didn't want to take any risks, and planned to just muddle through.So after hearing Xu Ming's words, she became annoyed: "Try? It won't hurt if you try, but what if we are..."

"No, if I fail, I will pay the price."

"What price can you pay?"

Xu Ming lowered his head and said, "Here... not only my father is doing this alone, everyone in this town is an insider and murderer."

Both Ah Wu and Lin Xixi fell into fear.

"How do you know this?" Ah Wu was more cautious, afraid that Xu Ming was someone sent by "father" to test their attitude, so he had a sharp attitude towards him: "If it wasn't for your father, how could we—"

Lin Xixi stopped Ah Wu in time: "Sister Ah Wu!"

Xu Ming lowered his head and did not speak.

Because it is a fact and cannot be disputed.

Even though this matter has nothing to do with him, the person who did this kind of thing was his father, and he couldn't get away with it no matter what.

"I want to compensate you and I want to help you."

Xu Ming was originally more mature and tolerant than children of the same age because of his mother's abnormality, so he took the opportunity to go to the market stall and sneaked to other townspeople's homes.

However, he accidentally discovered that the small room next to the townspeople's house - the place he thought was just a pile of groceries, kept those children who were regarded as "goods".

At that moment, he really broke down completely.

It turned out that this is how Ah Wu and Lin Xixi came from, and there were even more people like them, and all of them participated in this terrible trafficking.

He still remembered that when Ah Wu and Lin Xixi first came to this house, they were silent and fearful, and their bodies were covered with wounds.

Regarding these wounds, the father said with a smile at that time: Those two children encountered very bad things, and he helped them escape the sea of ​​suffering.

But it was his father who pushed them into the sea of ​​suffering.

Even more frightening is-

Xu Ming's eye sockets turned red uncontrollably, and he grabbed his wrist in disgust, scratching the flesh until it was dripping with blood.

If he hadn't existed—

"Little Ming, what are you doing!"

Lin Xixi screamed and pulled Xu Ming's self-harming hand away, but saw Xu Ming who had never cried before, and actually started crying.

Xu Ming cried very depressed, but probably because his emotions were too strong, he was already a little bit choked up.

Ah Wu was also taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ming choked with sobs and murmured: "I shouldn't have been born in this world!"

Lin Xixi didn't understand what happened, but she still hugged Xu Ming with her petite body, patted his back lightly, and coaxed him, "Xiao Ming, don't cry..."

Xu Ming cried tremblingly: "I went to the market that day... Mom did it on purpose."

"what?"

…………

The woman deliberately gave him a chance to escape alone, and deliberately let him see the miserable appearance of those children in the hut.

Otherwise, on the way back, she wouldn't have said that to him——

"Xiao Ming, do you know how mother came to this house?"

"what?"

At that time he was still in a trance because of what he saw.

The woman held his hand and smiled very gently: "Because my mother was forced to stay here just like the children you saw."

Xu Ming didn't turn his head around, but instinctively felt that there was something that made him dare not listen.

"Mom, let's stop talking about this topic..."

As if she didn't hear his words, the woman continued: "Mom had a chance to leave, but because of you and A She, she was forced to stay—"

Xu Ming stopped abruptly.

The woman grabbed his hand and dragged him forward, forcing him to stagger and grab her clothes: "Mom, don't...you walk slowly..."

"Mom became like this because of you!"

Xu Ming felt that he was holding his hand harder and harder, as if it was going to crush his bones.

"Now you want other people to leave, why didn't you and Xu She let mom leave? Why—"

Her voice became sharper: "Why don't you let mother go?"

Xu Ming calmed down all of a sudden, let the woman hold his hand, and said numbly and dejectedly, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"If you want to go, then I...let you go."

"Don't go." The woman smiled strangely, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Mom's life has been ruined, and I can't go anymore."

Xu Ming didn't say a word.

"Okay." The woman smiled and let go of Xu Ming's hand, and pitifully touched the bruises and scratches on his wrist: "Does it hurt?"

Xu Ming's eyes were empty, and finally he said as usual: "Mom, it's fine."

The woman smiled with satisfaction. She patted Xu Ming's head and said, "Mom knows that Xiao Ming is the kindest and most like a mother. Let's go home!"

Xu Ming's dry lips moved, and finally turned into a gentle and false smile:

"Okay, let's go... home."
