The sound of rain outside was heavy, and in the room, there were still the most old-fashioned pull-wire light bulbs. A strong wind blew in from the half-open window, and the light swayed violently with the direction of the wind.
The photos placed on the shabby table are also somewhat unclear.
That was a photo of a young woman, An Yi's mother. But she was not her biological mother, but her adoptive mother.
She glanced timidly at the drunken man in front of her. She hugged her arms tightly, and the tears of fear still couldn't stop flowing down her face: "Dad, I beg you... don't hand me over."
Give it to those people! No!" Shaking his head desperately.
My adoptive father was a gambler and lost everything in the family.
Including, her adoptive mother.
She even remembered that night clearly. Just like the night before, it was raining heavily. Her adoptive father was in debt and did not dare to go home near the end of the year. Three tall men broke into the door and dragged her adoptive mother into the inner room fiercely.
Soon, An Yi heard a man's laughter and the shrill cry of his adoptive mother coming from inside.
The next day, many police came.
Her adoptive mother committed suicide.
That year, An Yi was three years old and still a child who didn't understand anything.
But now that she has grown up, she also understands the extremely terrible things that happened to her adoptive mother that night.
Sixteen years later, I heard that my adoptive father lost 300,000 yuan.
He couldn't afford it, and neither could An Yi.
He sold her.
"Hey! Are you okay? Open the door quickly! If you don't open the door, I'll break down the damn door!" Outside, through the sound of rain, a man's rough voice came. Then, there was a heavy knock on the door.
An Yi cried harder and her whole body was shaking.
The adoptive father put out the cigarette in his hand, stepped forward and slapped her hard, and cursed: "She has the same virtue as your mother! Cry, cry, just know how to cry! I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
With your face like this, it's no wonder you're lucky!" He said, got up and walked towards the door.
"Dad——" An Yi hurriedly turned around to pull him, but she missed him.
The door has been opened.
A strong wind blew in, along with icy rain.
The adoptive father immediately changed his face and said submissively to the two big men outside: "Two eldest brothers, they are here."
The two men said nothing, pushed the adoptive father aside, came forward, pulled An Yi away, and left.
"Dad -" she screamed and struggled, "Dad, save me! Dad!"
Although she knew that begging him would not help, her heart still yearned. She longed for him to have a hint of conscience and change his mind at the last moment. Even if he couldn't defeat the two people in front of him, even if he wanted to help her, he couldn't.
, An Yi thought, she must have no regrets.
It's a pity that her adoptive father didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Instead, he took out another cigarette from the bag and lit it with a lighter several times, but it didn't light up.
At this time, there was only a "pop" sound, and the only photo of the adoptive mother that was originally on the table was blown to the ground by the wind. The glass outside the frame suddenly fell into pieces, just like An Yi's heart at this moment
.
The cigarette was finally lit, and the adoptive father took a long puff and closed the door.
Outside, the cold rain was already flowing down An Yi's face.
In the dark night, the only light disappeared as the door was closed...
When the two men dragged her into the car, she was already soaked through. She stopped struggling because it was just a waste of effort.
Even if she escaped from the car, they would definitely catch her again.
The car had started, and she suddenly thought of her adoptive mother, biting her lip until she tasted blood. She didn't know how many men would be waiting for her?
Perhaps, she should die right now.
Bite your tongue and kill yourself?
I was thinking haphazardly in my mind, trying to exert force, but found that all the strength in my body seemed to be drained away bit by bit. Even the scene in front of me gradually became blurred...
I don't know how long it took, but An Yi seemed to vaguely hear the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground.
She...where is she?
Like... on the bed...
Head hurts……
When the light shined on her eyes, it seemed that it was still not enough for her to close them, and she had to close them hard.
Around her, there were many footsteps and voices.
"Everything is fine, um, yeah. Pretty good."
"The fever is caused by being caught in the rain. It will be fine after a day's sleep."
"Yes, still...a virgin."
"..."
——The smoky curtains were completely opened with a "swish" sound, and looking out from the window here was the vast blue ocean.
The bright sunshine rushed in and hit An Yi's face. She instinctively squinted and suddenly opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?" A woman's voice came from one side, and there was no sound. An Yi instinctively raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and then she saw clearly that the person in front of her was wearing a pink nurse uniform, and she was standing with her hands down.
Looking at her in front of her, the expression on her face was completely incompatible with her clothes.
An Yi hurriedly sat up, but everything in this room did not look like a hospital. Through the window, the leaves of several banana trees were half exposed outside, and the sea breeze blowing in told her that this place was very...
Probably a private villa somewhere.
She thought she was dreaming and pinched her thigh hard through the quilt.
It hurts so much - thinking of what happened yesterday, I quickly lifted up the quilt and saw that all the clothes on her body were neatly dressed. Although they were not her clothes, it didn't look like she had been... um, raped.
Someone came in from the door. It was the doctor.
An Yi was startled. The other party had already walked to her bedside and checked her up and down amidst her shock.
Not long after the doctor left, he heard the sound of a woman's high heels coming from the door.
An Yi sat up nervously, footsteps approaching, and then she saw a woman in a business suit coming in with a large stack of things. She glanced at the nurse, asked her to go out, and then went up
Come and sit calmly in front of An Yi.
"Hello, Miss An, my name is Bertha." The gentle wind blew her long, beautiful hair, and she naturally tucked her hair behind her ears, then pushed up her glasses and looked at the woman in front of her.
An Yi was a little shocked, she didn't care what her name was, she only cared about what was going on.
Just when she was about to ask, Bertha had already handed her one of the documents: "I think Miss An can read this while I'll explain it to you in detail."
She took it in a daze, and when she got it in her hands, she realized that this was not information at all.
Rather, a contract.
On it, "Lease Contract" is clearly written.
"I think Ms. An already knows that our boss wants to rent your uterus for nine months, oh, to be precise, until the baby is born healthy..."
"Please...please wait a moment." She interrupted stumblingly, "What did you say? Rent...my uterus?!"
