At this moment, several beggars ran over. They seemed to be looking for the dog. When they saw the dog jumping on a woman's legs, they came over and kicked her a few times, cursing the dog for running wildly.

Grandma couldn't bear it, so she stopped him from kicking him. At this moment, the dog lay down on the ground and kowtowed to Grandma, and made a cry like "Mother, mother!"

When several beggars saw this, they immediately wanted to take the dog away. However, the nanny found that the dog could speak human language and seemed to be calling her "mother". Suddenly she felt a pain in her heart and hugged the big dog.

Keep it under your belt.

When the beggars couldn't tear the nanny away, they simply beat the dog with sticks. The nanny protected the dog and received several sticks. The little Zheng Xiaorou was so frightened that she cried.

Those beggars actually had the idea of ​​​​taking Xiaorou away, and the nanny had no choice but to fight for Xiaorou with them. When she couldn't win, she yelled "He's gone!"

Because what the nanny was shouting was "let's run away", the police officers and ordinary people who patrolled the streets soon came running here, and nanny Zheng Xiaorou was able to escape.

But when they turned back, they saw the beggars beating the dogs with sticks to vent their anger. When the government officials arrived, the beggars abandoned the dogs and left.

The dog had been beaten to the point of being unable to move, but it kept staring in their direction, and its vague "Mother, mother..." voice became smaller and smaller.

Grandma was worried about the big dog and ran back, only to find that the dog was twitching slightly and was about to die.

The dog looked at Nanny, opened its mouth, and moved its mouth unnaturally, and could no longer make any sound, but Nanny and Zheng Xiaorou knew that it was calling "Mother".

Some onlookers came forward and turned the big dog over, and found that the hair near the dog's belly was very messy, with many threads exposed.

He pulled it open with his hands and found that the dog skin was sewn onto the child's body.

An old man brought hot water to wash the child's face. When the sticky dog ​​hair melted away and fell off, what was revealed was a skinny child's face...

The nanny cried "Son!" and fainted.

"Alas," the old man sighed: "What a loss of conscience! This good boy has all his limbs cut off and has dog skin sewn on his body."

Only then did people realize that the child's arms only reached the elbows and the legs only reached the knees.

The old man sighed and said: "How much this child has suffered!

This is done by peeling off human skin, then attaching it with freshly peeled dog skin until it grows together, and then sewing the four circles together with string.

This is not allowed to be a human being while alive, and there is no whole body after death! What a sin!"

A veterinarian among the onlookers said: "What a sin. These people will not die well! Skinning humans and dogs alive and sticking them together will cause pain all the time."

Even if they grow together, not only will they not be able to sweat in summer, but pus will ooze between the two layers of skin, rot, and then grow back, causing repeated pain until they die."

The veterinarian also said: "Not only that, the child is so young. As the body grows, bone stubble will grow on the cut limbs. The child has to use bone stubble to walk on the ground to grind the bones!"

Although Zheng Xiaorou was only over five years old at that time, she already understood many things, and she understood all these words.

I'm just glad that the nanny fainted at the time and didn't hear such a cruel story.

Later, when they returned home, their father and stepmother did not allow them to report to the government.

They felt that Auntie was causing trouble for them and sneaking out of the house with Xiaorou, which was damaging to the reputation of the house.

Aunt Xiao Rou was locked in a small dark room by her stepmother for half a month as punishment.

From then on, Grandma seemed to have lost her soul.

After Zheng Xiaorou finished talking about this experience, everyone was silent for a long time.

Without going into details, everyone can guess why the group of beggars we met in Baijiaxing skinned the children.

Now after hearing Zheng Xiaorou's narration, everyone fell silent.

Zheng Xiaorou is still crying, for those children and for the nanny.

Xiaobao persuaded her softly: "Don't let your eyes dry up, and your tears will flow freely. With your eyes dry, you will see your bones, and the world will be merciless."

Zheng Xiaorou looked at Xiaobao in panic: How could this child say such pessimistic words at such a young age?

Gan Lai is relatively calm, and there is no disturbance in his expression. His own father can be ruthless, so how can he blame others for being cruel?

She just asked: "What happened next?"

Bai Jiaxing continued: "What happened next? Chu Shineng and I just watched. We jumped in and started fighting with the beggars.

It's a pity that there are five or six of them, all of whom have great skills. The two of us can only fight with brute force, but we can't beat them. They want to kill us both.

Later, Chu Shi was still smart and blew the whistle and told them, 'If you want to kill them, hurry up, otherwise someone will come soon as soon as our whistle blows.'

As luck would have it, Chu Wu and the others didn't wait for us that day, so they went back to transport the goods by themselves. When they heard the whistle, they all came running. We have a few employees who know kung fu, and there are so many people.

Tie them all up.

We wanted to send them all to the Yamen, but a large group of beggars came from the "Poor Family Bank" to confront us. Finally, they heard that we were "Bao Qingxiang" with a plaque given by the Queen Mother, and they started to talk softly.

Our little boy sneaked to report to the official, but the official heard that he was from a "poor family" and ignored him at all.

Helpless, in the end, the 'die Nianzi' Nianzi said that he would pay two taels of money to treat the child's injuries. We didn't want to really make it big and cause trouble for our boss, so we kept it private."

Xiaobao quit: "Go to the Secret Investigation Department, my mother will definitely not say you are causing trouble!"

Bai Jiaxing smiled bitterly: "Do you know what that dead end is called? It's called 'Abandoned Children's Alley'. It's a place where people from the Secret Investigation Department specialize in finding spies to do private work.

The Secret Investigation Department doesn't care if something goes wrong here. If you go report the crime, they might even scold you for being nosy!"

Xiaobao had never heard of "Abandoned Children's Alley" and asked Baijiaxing: "Is that alley famous?"

Bai Jiaxing said: "The Nancheng area of ​​Kyoto is where the poor live, and there are alleys everywhere. The Salesian Bureau used to be set up in the 'Abandoned Children Alley'. Later, it seems that because of the epidemic, many children died in the Salesian Bureau, and then it was replaced.

It was closed, never used again, and finally abandoned.

Later, people would still throw abandoned babies there. As time went by, that alley became known as "Abandoned Children Alley".

Because it was in Nancheng, a place where many children had died, the Salesian Bureau's houses could not be sold, and they were gradually occupied by homeless people.

There are all kinds of people there, including gangsters, thieves, and prisoners who have just been released from prison..."

Originally, after the founding emperor of Daxuan conquered the country, in order to care for the world, he established Salesian bureaus in various places to adopt abandoned newborns and arrange for wet nurses to feed them. Childless people could also come to adopt.

Later, the displaced orphans were also taken in to the Salesian Bureau, where they were raised until they were fifteen years old. The government then helped them find employment opportunities.

A pharmacy is also set up near each Salesian office to treat children.

Of course, this kind of pharmacy is very small, equivalent to the modern "infirmary" in schools that can treat colds and fevers.

The founding emperor once said: "I order all states in the world to set up Salesian bureaus... to ensure that the roads are clear of hungry children."

The wish was good, but an epidemic turned the Salesian Bureau in Nancheng into an "abandoned child alley".

Only the government knows how much of this is due to government inaction.

If Shui Maomao were here, he must have heard the name "Abandoned Children's Alley" because he once planted several people from "Abandoned Children's Alley" under the water.
