On the way back to the hostel, the two discussed in the taxi, and combined with the clues provided by the relatives search network, they felt that the most urgent task was to find Tong Tianhai’s cousin. Obviously, he had contact with the traffickers, otherwise it would not be so fast. Get a child for your cousin, and you can choose.

Min Hui immediately called Tong Tianhai to ask for her cousin's number. After some conversation, the cousin said that the two children were given to Zhang Luo by a fellow of his wife's, who only knew the surname He and the nickname "He Xiangu". My cousin said that He Xiangu "walked" outside all the year round and worked various jobs. People in the village said she was a capable person. She should be in her 50s now and lives in a small village in Tongbi County, Yunnan Province. . The boy originally asked for more than 40,000 yuan, because the cousin's wife introduced the job to He Xiangu's son-in-law.

"Actually, she's a personal trafficker, right?" Min Hui said.

"She refuses to admit it, saying that these children are superborn, and their parents can't afford them, so they handed her over to find a good family and help them collect milk money." The voice of the cousin over there was buzzing, listening to Indistinct because of a heavy nasal sound.

"Then did she say where did the other child come from?" Min Hui asked again.

"I didn't say, people who do this kind of thing are secretive, who dares to ask more."

Min Hui cross-examined on the phone for a long time, trying to get He Xiangu's phone number. The cousin said that she has not been in contact with her since the transaction. She only knew that the village she lived in was called "Anya". , the villagers know her.

Min Hui hung up the phone and thought for a while, and told Xin Qi, "This He Xiangu must be a human trafficker, but she should not be a first-class trafficker, but a second-class trafficker."

"how do you know?"

"Look: Tong Minghao's biological parents live in Harbin, and my brother was abducted in Hechi, Guangxi, one in the north and the other in the south. How could these two children end up in the same hands? It can only explain this He Xiangu. It's a transit station. I don't know how many children she sold in her hands, it must be a one-stop abduction, transportation, and sales - a gang committed the crime."

"Formed an industrial chain?"

"Absolutely."

"It seems that we have to go to Yunnan in person and visit this He Xiangu." Xin Qi pointed his finger on the phone quickly, "It takes five hours to fly from Harbin to Kunming. Give me your ID card. Look, I'm buying a ticket."

Min Hui was a little nervous. When the two bought train tickets, she was reluctant to hand over her ID card, for fear that Xin Qi would see the flaw. Because Xin Qi used a passport, he could not buy tickets on his mobile phone, so they bought them separately at the ticket office together. But on second thought, he was only two months younger than Su Tian, ​​and the information on his ID card should not arouse suspicion. Just as she was about to dig out her wallet, she suddenly felt that one more thing was better than one less thing. Besides, she didn't want to take advantage of him in money, so she said, "No need, report your passport number to me, and I'll buy it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Qi grabbed his ear: "Here we go again! With me here, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. Let's find my brother together, and of course we can find it. If we can't find it, it's time for our honeymoon."

After paying more than 20,000 hospital fees for Tong Minghao, there was no more cash in the bank card, so Min Hui had to take out her ID card and hand it over to him. Xin Qi glanced at the address above: "Wow, you live in Bencheng?"

"Um."

"That's a big city."

"right."

"What are you doing there, working part-time?"

"Um."

"That—" He still wanted to ask, but Min Hui quickly blocked, "What about you, where do you live?"

"New York, I told you so."

"Which street?"

“Park Avenue.”

"Do you still live with your parents?"

"It's my brother's apartment."

"So you have a... brother?"

"Well." Xin Qi blinked, "Tian Tian, ​​are you curious? Want to know more?"

"In no mood."

It was almost ten o'clock when the two returned to the hostel. Min Hui thought that the hairdryer in her bathroom was broken, so she went to the front desk to ask the waiter to replace it. Seeing that she was talking to the two middle-aged couples, she had to avoid it.

"...There's really no room available tonight, I'm sorry! There was a gentleman who planned to leave, but he said he would stay for two more days—" the waiter explained patiently, "There are no hotels in this area, the nearest one is It's called 'Sunny Day Hostel', and it takes 40 minutes by car. Well, here's the address, you don't need to call in advance, there's definitely room for availability. Do you have a car? If not, I'll call you a rental car?"

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a fat body and red face, wearing a suit, he looked like a private entrepreneur. The woman beside him was probably his wife, and she was over 1.7 meters tall. She was handsome and haggard. She was wearing a pink chiffon dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a teacher.

"We came here by car. Oh, if we don't have a room, we can just sit on this sofa for one night." The private entrepreneur pointed to a circle of sofas in the reception room.

"Yes, yes, we are here to see the children. We are very happy and excited. We can't sleep at all. As long as there is a place to sit." The female teacher also said, "He has high blood pressure. Drive at this time."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it. The hospital was full of mentally ill people, and the family members who came to visit looked sad. It was really strange that these two were "extremely happy".

Min Hui moved in her heart and asked, "Uncle, are you here to see Tong Minghao?"

The entrepreneur nodded quickly: "Yeah, I'm his father. You are—Su Tian? Right? Xiao Wan told me that you came to find your brother, and he came here too, and he almost gave him to him. I took it back. As a result, the DNA comparison said no, which is a pity."

"Yeah." Min Hui smiled bitterly, "Congratulations!"

"Girl, don't be discouraged, keep looking, like we study, looking for it for more than 20 years, you can always find the child back. No, the family is finally reunited! How wonderful! Don't give up! The entrepreneur shook Min Hui's hand vigorously as he spoke, and began to burst into tears as he spoke. Min Hui looked sad for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: This is the real father and mother, and I will see you in my lifetime. The son is satisfied, he doesn't care that he is mentally ill, and he doesn't think it is a burden.

"Uncle, we have reserved two rooms, and we can share one for you." Xin Qi said with a smile, "I can live in a room with her."

"That—is it convenient?" the female teacher asked embarrassedly, "I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

"Convenient." Min Hui said, "We are just two people, we don't need two rooms."

"Also," Xin Qi lifted Min Hui's wrist and showed them the ring, "We are already engaged."

"Wow, congratulations!"

Two hours later, the two were lying on the bed, breathless, looking at the ceiling.

"Xin Qi, we have a flight tomorrow, let's not toss tonight, let's get a good night's sleep."

"My self-control has always been good, I don't know why I can't see you."

"Don't lie, you've already lived in America, so you're not still a virgin, are you?"

"Of course, I have agreed to marry you, and of course I will protect you like a jade." Xin Qi suddenly turned over and pressed her under him, "Because you are my sun, my moon, my star... "

"Brother, are you going to build a solar system for me?"

"Yes, I will send you a small universe."

After saying that, she lowered her head and kissed it, making Min Hui unable to speak for a long time. The two were close to each other, neither of them were fat, and they could feel each other's bones poking at them through their muscles. The little pigeon in front of Min Hui's chest was struggling desperately in his hands, and her body was squeezed to the point of being out of the water.

"I don't believe it - haven't you had a girlfriend for so many years?" She was held in his arms by him, and she started another round of passion. She didn't dare to shout, so she had to bite the sheet again.

"There were girls chasing me in high school and college, but I didn't take that step at the last minute." He said softly, "If it wasn't you the first time, I would have a strong sense of guilt."

"I wouldn't mind." She tilted her head to the side and looked out the window.

"I will." He pulled her head back and forced her to look at him, "What about you? Did you give your first time to any wild man?"

She bit her lip and shook her head.

"That's good." He smiled and nodded her nose, "Otherwise, I'd be very jealous."

The light in front of the bed was dim and the sound of the air conditioner was loud, but his eyes were peaceful, and there seemed to be a fire inside, which made her feel warm.

He hugged her tightly like a child, resting his head in her arms, and soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Min Hui quietly got up, ran to the front desk to buy a pack of cigarettes, sat alone on the steps of the backyard and started smoking.

She thought of herself, of fate.

Thinking about how that strange girl destroyed herself in a single thought pushed her onto another track in her life.

Why did she get on the bus, why did she jump off the Mushui River—it was all blurred. The arrival of Xin Qi is like a morphine injection for a dying person, and a false joy replaces the severe pain...

However, the pain did not go away, it was always there.

Min Hui sat on the concrete steps, facing the moon in the sky, one by one, smoking an entire pack. When she returned to the room, it was already bright. After brushing her teeth twice, she returned to Xin Qi in a cold body.

He didn't notice it, and hugged her tightly in a half-dream.

Early the next morning, the two packed up their luggage and prepared to take the car back to Mingshui and then take a bus back to Harbin. Just after getting on the bus, Xin Qi suddenly asked, "By the way, you paid 27,000 yuan for Tong Minghao's hospitalization fee. Do you have to get the money back?"

Min Hui looked at him and spread out her hands: "How do you take it? At this time, ask others to kill more scenery."

"Then we don't have the contact information of the uncle. When they leave, Tong Tianhai doesn't recognize the account. Isn't this money going to waste?"

Min Hui didn't want to ask for it, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Twenty-seven thousand dollars was all her savings, and she needed money to go to Yunnan to find her younger brother, so she was also very confused.

"I don't know what to do," she had to say.

"Wait in the car, I'll go get it."

Min Hui said, "Hey," Xin Qi was gone. After returning to the car fifteen minutes later, there was an extra envelope in his hand: "Here, take it back. They said a lot of thanks, and they insisted on giving you an extra 10,000 yuan. I didn't want it."

"It's true, you." Min Hui took out a stack of banknotes from the envelope and touched it in her hand.

"It's okay if his family is really difficult. His parents don't look poor at first glance."

"Awesome." She gave a thumbs up, "A master of money."

"You know why your popularity was very good when you were young, but mine is very bad."

"why?"

"Because I do the things that offend people and wipe the bottom. You are responsible for complaining, and I am responsible for fighting. You are responsible for crying, and I am responsible for revenge. You are responsible for the beauty, and I am responsible for the cruelty. Tian Tian—" He smiled lightly He touched her face and said, "With me by your side, I will help you find anything you lose."
