"I brought cookies today, do you want to eat them?" Miaomiao shook her backpack.
"Wow!"
"Sister Miaomiao is so great!"
“I want to eat, I want to eat!”
Watching the children eating biscuits, Miaomiao secretly wondered if her sins would be alleviated.
Dad and Mom have always made themselves do things they don't like.
Every week, Miaomiao would suddenly appear in front of the children in the early morning and disappear from the village in the evening.
Every week, Dad would bring out some strange children or women from the basement.
Every week, under the orders of her father, Miaomiao would take them and follow the villagers to the mountains overnight.
"Dad, who are they and where are they being taken?"
"Those are lost people. We are going to take them home."
Although my father said this, I actually already knew the truth about this matter.
Don't want to do this, but...
Sister Hua Cong is one of the rare people who stays in the village.
Just after hearing her own voice, Sister Hua Cong chose to believe in herself as soon as she met her.
Every time she smiled at herself, the loneliness and despair behind every smile made Miao Miao unbearably painful.
Miao Miao has been feeling sad about Sister Hua Cong's story, but is unable to change it.
The two forces were biting and quarreling in Miao Miao's heart.
"Sister Hua Cong, actually...I...I don't..."
"What I promised you back then was actually just..."
"Then why did you tell me?"
Sister Hua Cong had a calm expression on her face that she had not expected, as if she had known about this a long time ago, she stared into Miao Miao's eyes.
Miaomiao was speechless, "I have... tried hard... but this is really, really difficult..."
"Miaomiao, are you willing?"
Sister Hua Cong wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips, leaving Miaomiao with a meaningful expression.
"I……"
"I……"
What can I say? Miaomiao thought mockingly to herself, what can she do if she is willing to do so.
"Miaomiao," Sister Hua Cong's hand touched the back of her hand, her eyes seemed to convey strength, "I have a plan to give us and them one more chance to choose their own lives, okay?"
There is light in my sister's eyes.
Although it has been dimmed for too long, you can still see it at a glance, it is the light of life.
That is the light of hope.
This kind of light seemed to have not appeared in front of me for a long time.
I want to catch this light, I want to choose this light.
Miao Miao clenched Hua Cong's hand, her eyes gradually turned red, and she nodded heavily.

"How could you let a child do such a thing!"
Pineapple looked at the boss who seemed to have aged ten years in disbelief.
This is the basement. Under the pale light, everyone is sitting around the filled dark hole, listening to the boss and his wife recount this incredible past event one by one.
The boss lowered his head and made an angry noise while the wife sat aside and wiped her tears.
"Miaomiao went to deliver goods again that day, just to deliver those children." The boss's eyes were dull and straight. "In the evening, Miaomiao had not come back. We called and found out that something had happened."
"Miaomiao took those children and ran away. That's what the village chief told me. While something big happened in the village, Miaomiao ran away with those children. People in the village searched for them all day.
Seeing their shadows, we hurried up the mountain, crying and shouting, but we couldn't find our Miaomiao. Since then, we have never seen my Miaomiao again..."
"What big thing happened in the village?" Maple Sugar asked.
The boss shut up and turned his eyes to look at the boss's wife guiltily.
The proprietress wiped away her tears and said, "Three years ago we sent a girl to the mountain. Later, the girl was attracted by a bachelor on the mountain and stayed in the village. The little girl ran away several times, and once she ran here.
When the side came, a little girl ran down the mountain with her feet. I wanted to save the girl, but he didn't agree... Later, the girl was caught by the villagers. The villagers told me that that day, the girl ran away again.
All the men in the village went out to arrest people, so Miaomiao took advantage of the men's absence and left the village with her children. No one knew where they went. The villagers told us that my Miaomiao left directly because she was afraid that we would scold her.
She ran away from home, but I think that is definitely not the case. My Miaomiao, she will definitely not..."
The landlady stopped even more as she spoke, covering her face and lowering her head, her shoulders shaking, and she started sobbing again. This chapter has been completed!
