Fang Meihua was running in the night. She couldn't tell the direction and didn't know where she was. She just ran forward without looking back. She wanted to leave the place where she had been detained for several days and the place where she was lying.
A place for dead bodies.
When she was tired from running, she walked for a while, and when she regained her strength, she ran for a while again. There were no lights on the road, and there were no homes on both sides of the road. She could not see clearly the objects on both sides of the road. She could only see the road under her feet through the moonlight.
The wind picked up in the middle of the night, and she threw her coat next to the body. She was sweating after running for a long time, and now she couldn't run anymore. She felt even colder after sweating, so she could only start running slowly again. She ran and ran.
Yeah, she seemed to see a faint light in front of her. But at this time she couldn't hold on anymore. She was cold, hungry and sleepy. She really wanted to find a warm place to sleep for a while.
Just when she was about to fall, she suddenly saw a thick cement pipe on the side of the road. When she saw the cement pipe, she seemed to see a warm bed, and she dived in without hesitation.
There was no object visible in the dark cement pipe. She felt a soft object as a pillow, fell into the cement pipe and fell asleep.
In her sleep, she felt someone touching her, and her whole body started to feel hot. She dreamed of Dai Tonghe, and she dreamed of being with Dai Tonghe, and Dai Tonghe holding her and kissing her. She dreamed of Dai Tonghe taking off her clothes. She dreamed of Dai Tonghe.
She dreamed about the woman named Xiaoqian again and about Xiaoqian's thin waist. At this time, she was so angry that she tried to open her eyes and woke up.
She found that she was being held by a smelly man, and all her clothes had been taken off. The man was pressing on her and breathing heavily. She struggled desperately and screamed, but it was all to no avail.
She struggled for a moment and then passed out.
When Fang Meihua woke up, the sun had already risen high, and the sunlight shone into the cement pipe, making her feel warm. She opened her eyes, moved her body, and found that she was wrapped in a quilt that exuded a foul smell.
Her clothes were placed on top of the quilt.
She kicked off the quilt randomly, grabbed her own clothes and put them on hastily, and then leaned tiredly against the cement pipe wall. Looking at the greasy cotton wool in front of her, she thought of Dai Tonghe and lying in a pool of blood.
Xiaoqian thought of the smelly man holding her last night. She started to cry loudly. She didn't understand how she went from a rich lady with tens of millions of assets to being bullied by a beggar.
She didn't understand why she killed someone. He didn't understand why Dai Tonghe treated her like this.
She thought of her children and her lost husband, but where were they? Who could help her?
There was the sound of cars passing by on the road outside the pipe. She poked her head out of the pipe and found some houses not far away. At this time, she was hungry and thirsty, so she got out of the cement pipe and walked towards the house.
There is a town ahead. There is a breakfast stall next to the street. There is a large oil pan on the breakfast stall, and golden fried dough sticks are rolling in the oil pan. This is when the breakfast stall is booming, and the stall is crowded with buyers.
Early people.
Seeing the golden fried dough sticks and smelling the alluring fragrance of oil, Fang Meihua simply couldn't move a step further. She touched herself. Not to mention rich, she was wearing dirty underwear with no pockets.
None. When Dai Tonghe tied her up, he took off all her earrings, rings, and necklaces. Now she didn't have anything that could be exchanged for money. She was attracted by the scent and walked forward, wanting to eat a fried dough stick.
, but before she even got close to the stall, she heard the stall owner shouting loudly:
"Get out of here, you stinky beggar. Don't delay my business."
After being scolded by the stall owner, Fang Meihua's mouth was dripping with laughter, her eyes were looking at the golden fried dough sticks, and she turned back step by step and walked further away. She saw a taxi parked on the side of the road. It was not a regular taxi.
It's one of those black taxis in town that puts a sign on the front windshield. The driver is opening the door, sitting on the driver's seat with his legs on the open door, and smoking leisurely. Fang Meihua walked over and said:
"Can you take me to Zhongjiang?"
The driver didn't even look at her, he held out five fingers and said:
"Wu Bai."
"Okay, I'll give you the money when we get there."
The driver turned his head and looked her up and down, waved his hand to tell her to go away, and continued to smoke his cigarette.
"I have money, really money. If you send me somewhere, I will give you five thousand." Fang Meihua stood there and continued to say to the driver.
"Get out!" the driver said impatiently.
"I won't lie to you, I'm really rich." Fang Meihua took two steps back and continued.
"If you don't get out of here, I'll beat you up!" The driver put away his crossed legs, pointed at Fang Meihua and roared.
Fang Meihua had no choice but to leave the car and rent a car. As she was now, no one would dare to take her even if she had money, let alone no money.
There was a fruit stall in front of him. There were apples, oranges, bananas and other fruits on the stall. Fang Meihua was starving. She had no money, and she knew that if she asked for it, she would be scolded again. She glanced at the stall owner.
It was an old woman, so she decided to take it and run away.
She walked slowly along the road, trying not to look at the fruits on the fruit stall with her head raised. She glanced at the old woman looking at the stall with her eyes and saw her lowering her head to pack the fruits. Fang Meihua approached the fruit stall.
She bent down, reached out and grabbed a bunch of bananas and ran away. The old woman immediately noticed her stealing the bananas and followed her, shouting loudly:
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
Fang Meihua held the banana and ran forward desperately with her head lowered. The old woman was chasing after her slowly. Fang Meihua was running and suddenly felt a black shadow appeared in front of her eyes. She wanted to turn but she couldn't. She thought
She couldn't stop her steps anymore. Just as she was about to hit the black shadow, the black shadow suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed her shoulder.
Fang Meihua raised her head and took a closer look. The person who caught her was a policeman in police uniform. She then turned her head and looked at a building next to her. There was a sign saying "*** Police Station" hanging on it.
The police took the banana that Fang Meihua was holding and gave it to the old woman who came over panting. The old woman hugged the banana with one hand and supported her knees with the other, bent over and said out of breath:
"Tell me, what are you doing wrong? No matter what you do these days, people won't starve to death. You have to come out to steal and rob."
Fang Meihua listened to the old woman scolding her and did not dare to talk back. She just stared hard at the banana in the old woman's hand. After the old woman scolded her, she glanced at Fang Meihua's pitiful look and broke off the smallest banana from the hanging banana.
, stuffed it into Fang Meihua’s hand and said:
"I'll give it to you, but don't try to steal my things again."
Fang Meihua took the banana, peeled it open, and stuffed it into her mouth in three bites.
The policeman let go of Fang Meihua's arm and looked up and down at the woman in front of him. He saw that Fang Meihua's hair was fluffy and stained with some messy things. Her face was dark and full of dirt, and she was wearing a dirty autumn dress.
The clothes, long johns, and white casual shoes were almost turning black, and there was a stench all over my body.
"Where are you from?" the policeman asked.
"From Dingjia Village, Zhongjiang City."
"How did you get here?"
"I, I'm lost." Fang Meihua didn't know what to say to the police, so she made up a random reason.
When the police saw that the woman was speaking and thinking fairly clearly, unlike someone with mental problems, he said to her:
"Come on, follow me inside."
Fang Meihua looked at the majestic police station in front of her and remembered what she had done in that house. She instinctively shrank back. She wanted to turn around and run, but she was afraid that she would not be able to escape.
Seeing her fear and hesitation, the policeman explained:
"I'm not arresting you. I'm going to take you in to wash you and see how dirty you are."
Fang Meihua was taken to the police station to wash her face and hair, and the police found a pair of clean old clothes for her to put on. Although there was no high-end cosmetics to fill the ravines on her face, nor could they hide her sallow complexion,
Already looks like a normal person.
After washing, Meihua was taken to the office. The breakfast the police bought for her was already on the table. After drinking two bowls of soy milk and eating eight fried dough sticks, her face gradually turned red.
"Do you know your family's contact information?" the policeman asked.
"I know, I know, can you call my son for me?" Fang Meihua finally grasped the life-saving straw at this time.
The police called the phone number given by Fang Meihua, and Ding Haodang immediately picked up the phone.
"Hey, Haodang, son, I'm mom." Fang Meihua burst into tears when she heard her son's voice.
"Ah, Mom, it's you, where are you?" Ding Haodang said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"I'm...," Fang Meihua quickly gave the phone number to the police. The police reported the address here to Ding Haodang, who said he would drive over to pick her up right away.
"Okay, just find a home. You can register first and then wait for your son here," the policeman said.
"Yeah, thank you, thank you."
"What's your name?" the policeman asked, operating the computer on the table.
"Fang Meihua."
"Oh, okay." The policeman entered Fang Meihua's name into the computer, and his eyes suddenly stopped staring at the computer screen. The policeman looked at the computer for a while, then looked at Fang Meihua sitting in front of him, and asked again.
One sentence:
"You just said you were from Dingjia Village, Zhongjiang City, right?"
"Yes, it's from Dingjia Village."
The police officer stood up from his desk, took a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to Fang Meihua and said:
"You sit here for a while and drink some water. Your son will be here soon. Don't run around. I'll be back as soon as I go."
The policeman walked out of the office and closed the door from the outside. Then he turned around and quickly entered the office next door. After a while, the policeman led two other policemen into the office where Fang Meihua was located.
Two policemen walked up to Fang Meihua and asked:
"Are you Fang Meihua?"
"yes."
"Fang Meihua, you are under arrest." The policeman took out handcuffs from his waist and put them on Fang Meihua.
Fang Meihua lowered her head in shock and looked at the cold handcuffs on her wrists. It was as if all the bones in her body had been ripped away in an instant, and she collapsed to the ground.
