"Mom, if I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known there was a person locked inside. She also called you mother. Who is she?" Yun Ruoyue said, already rushing towards the woman, looking at her carefully.
.
"Ah, there is a ghost, the ghost is coming..." As soon as the woman saw the stranger coming in, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid in Huang's arms, trembling all over.
Yun Ruoyue immediately took a step back for fear of scaring her.
She observed the woman in front of her. She had similar features to Yun Ruoling, but her skin was very pale, as white as a piece of paper. This was because she had not been exposed to the sun for many years.
She was very thin and small, huddled in Huang's arms like a timid little mouse, but even though she was locked up, her hair was washed very clean, she was wearing clean new clothes, and her hands and feet were chained.
There were no scars, which showed that Huang loved her very much.
Suddenly, she saw the woman's hands. She found that each of the woman's hands had six fingers, and there was an extra little finger next to the thumb of each hand. She was immediately surprised, "Mom, her hands..."
"Yue'er, you didn't see anything. Xiao Liu'er is normal. She is not a monster, she is a normal person." Huang said and quickly hid Xiao Liu'er's hand in her arms.
Yun Ruoyue was stunned, "Mom, what kind of monster? Do you think Xiao Liuer is a monster because he has an extra finger?"
"Yue'er Ling'er, since you know the truth, I beg you not to tell it. Xiao Liu'er has an extra curved little finger on each hand. If others know, they will take her away as a monster.
My mother kept her here to save her life, but because she always wanted to go out, my mother locked her up with chains. My mother couldn't bear it and felt deeply sad, but in order to save her, she had no other choice.
I can only watch Xiao Liu'er suffering here every day and night, and mother doesn't want to do that." Mrs. Huang said, then she hugged Xiao Liu'er uncomfortably and started crying.
Only then did Yun Ruoyue understand why Huang wanted to lock Xiao Liu'er here. It turned out to be because he was afraid that others would regard Xiao Liu'er as a monster.
Ancient people advocated feudal superstition. They had little knowledge and regarded things they had never seen as freaks. This little Liu'er probably had two extra thumbs than others since she was born. Huang was afraid that others would regard her as a monster.
The monster locked her here.
She understood the pain. When she was in junior high school, one of her classmates was born with twelve thumbs. The classmate felt so embarrassed that she went to a black clinic to have the extra fingers removed.
It turned out that the razor blades in the black clinic were reused, and after the surgery, the classmate was infected with hepatitis B and suffered a lifelong disease.
So she understood this painful feeling. If her classmate hadn't been in extreme low self-esteem and pain, he wouldn't have randomly found a black clinic to amputate his fingers.
"Mom, if I tell you that Xiao Liu'er's extra fingers can be surgically removed and she can become a normal person, will you tell me her and my life experience?" Yun Ruoyue said.
"What? Yue'er, what are you talking about? Mom can't understand." Huang's face turned pale and her eyes flickered.
"You just said that Xiao Liu'er was imprisoned for sixteen years. I am exactly sixteen this year. If she is your daughter, then who am I? And the tattoo on my back, where did it come from?"
Yun Ruoyue asked tremblingly.
She and Xiao Liuer don't look alike, so they are not twins.
And that tattoo, she always felt that her mother was hiding something from her.
If she is not my mother's daughter, then who is her true identity?
