Become popular overnight [entertainment circle]

In October, the weather had turned cold, and a cold wind seeped in through the unclosed curtains. The man's tall body was like a mountain, enveloping the young Qiao Yue.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." The little boy retreated back in fear, and the strong tape was like a piece of sticky slug, tightly blocking his mouth.He struggled so hard that the rough hemp rope was pulled into his flesh, grinding out red marks.

He didn't understand, it was fine before, why all of a sudden, everything changed.

"I don't want to do anything, and I don't want to kill anyone. It's not my fault..." The man's emotions seemed more broken than Qiao Yue's, and his words were confused, "We only want to make money from you. If you want to blame, blame your parents , everyone who made a fuss about this matter knows...you don't blame me for your death...it has nothing to do with me..."

In his calloused hand was an ordinary folding fruit knife. The sharp edge shot into Qiao Yue's eyes. His body was stiff and his brain was blank due to fear.

That was the closest he came to dying.

At this critical moment, a middle-aged woman in her 30s rushed out, snatched the knife from the man's hand, and cursed in a dialect voice: "You trash, even if you want to die, don't kill me!" Pulling us, abducting and selling us will end up in prison for a few years, and if you kill someone, you will have to pay with your life..."

"Sister." The man who had been scolded all over his face called out dully.

The woman cast a glance at the man, and then turned her gaze to Qiao Yue. Her slender eyes were vicious and indifferent like a poisonous snake. On her sallow face, her lips were painted with a layer of bright red lipstick. The big yellow teeth are very conspicuous.

She was wearing the most popular short yellow down jacket at that time, with a black leather skirt and thick black leggings underneath. The shoes were white sneakers, a bunch of colors collided together, very vulgar.

"Look carefully, this child is quite handsome." The woman's eyes rolled around.

"Isn't it? Otherwise, out of such a large group of students, why would I have fallen in love with him? Why don't I just see how clever he is, and can I buy him at a good price?" the man complained.

He paused for a few seconds, then continued: "Sister, shall we still sell it?"

The woman pondered for a while, then she gritted her teeth: "Sell it, why not sell it! But after the limelight passes, find a poor mountainous area and stuff him there. I don't think he can escape even a child."

They were also lucky. The man used his words to pick up Qiao Yue before, and coaxed the servant who took care of the boy into a small restaurant. After the other party noticed something was wrong, he asked the school to search for someone to determine who the suspect was?Finally, he called the police and informed Qiao Yue's parents that several hours had passed since they were kidnapped.

For a few hours, the human traffickers driving a van have already made their way to the vast crowd.

In 2000, surveillance was underdeveloped, mobile phones were luxury goods, most TVs were black and white, and photos were not affordable for everyone, which provided great convenience for traffickers.

They are now in a dilapidated and poor mountain village. The villagers are simple and honest. Only the village chief has a telephone, let alone a TV.

No one will doubt that they are human traffickers, because those things are so far away from them.

Qiao Yue was tied up for a day, and his body was extremely uncomfortable. Tears rolled in his eyes, but he insisted on holding back them, so he couldn't cry!Why doesn't he bow to the bad guys?

The curtains in the room are very thick, blocking the light from outside. Qiao Yue has been under strict supervision. Food and drink are brought to his mouth. The food is usually tasteless steamed buns, no vegetables, dry of.

In the beginning, Joe got used to eating more and more, and often stopped after eating a little bit. Later, he was so hungry that his stomach hurt, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on eating a whole big steamed bun.

Occasionally, he would also try to talk to the person who came to feed him. Although the child's voice was immature, it was clear: "Brother, let me go home. I will ask my parents to give you a lot of money, which is better than selling me." More money."

"Eat your food, let me beat you to death."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yue was kicked hard.

"Or you can leave me here and run away so that you won't be afraid of being caught." The boy endured the pain.

"You think I'm stupid! The head of this village recognizes us and has seen my ID card. If we throw you here now, we are dead." The man snorted disdainfully, and took it without eating Finished half a steamed bun and left.

You little brat, you won't die even if you starve for a meal or two.

This village is the old place where they gather. There are special people who settle here, and the village head has their household registration information, so even if they throw it away, this child cannot still be here.

The passage of time seems to become extremely slow, and it seems to become very fast.

Qiao Yue was tied tightly from the beginning, but was untied at the back, and moved to a dark and damp basement. The sound insulation here is very good, and the traffickers are not afraid of him calling, and there is only one door, so they are not afraid of him escaping.

There is no bed, only a dark and moldy mattress and not very thick quilt.

The toilet is next to the basement, separated by a small wooden door. Fortunately, it is winter and there is no smell.

Qiao Yue lives in this narrow world in a daze, with no one to talk to him, and no entertainment, only a dim light that is on 24 hours a day, he has lost the concept of time, and can only rely on The food delivered determines how many days he has lived here.

How nice it would be if there was someone to accompany me!

He had the idea.

I don't know how long it took, but one day Qiao Yue found out that the human trafficker who came to deliver the food was much kinder to him, and even said some nonsense to him, to the effect that you should be good, and we will find you a good family when the time comes, so that you will be popular The drink is spicy.

At the end, the other party still wanted to touch his head with that filthy hand, the boy's body froze, and subconsciously dodged back.

"What? Dislike me?" The man changed his face instantly, his eyes were gloomy, and he slapped him directly.

Qiao Yue, a child, could not bear the strength of a grown man. His eyes were dark and his brain was dizzy after being beaten.The man was still cursing: "Yesterday, you were so painful! Why did you change your face today... md, little bastard, do you think you can go back? It's been four or five months, and you still expect someone to Come to save you? Let me tell you, be more obedient, and when I get some more goods, I will buy you together."

"Fuck it, it's all because of you who lose money that we are afraid to go out for a while, and the money is gone. This time we must do a lot of money."

Because Qiao Yue was abducted and trafficked, the security of the entire Hua Country was suddenly tightened, causing some criminal gangs to panic and dare not go out. It's just that this happened from the fiery autumn to the spring when the ice and snow melted and the temperature warmed up. , has gradually subsided.

Now, except for the Qiao family and the police who are still on the move, the crowd outside who are particularly excited for the huge bounty will no longer just stare at a child.

In addition, Qiao Yue couldn't eat well or sleep well during this time, he had lost a lot of weight, his hair was so long that it could cover half of his face, his skin was so pale that he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his whole body was full of vigor and vitality. The reserved and noble little prince in the photo is very different.

The man said a lot more, and when he got angry, he kicked Qiao Yue who was still lying on the ground as if to vent his anger.

The child's immature body was motionless, like a lifeless corpse, the surrounding lights were dim, and there seemed to be a cold air rising from the soles of his feet. The trafficker suddenly shivered, he stopped the movement of his feet, widened his eyes, Nervously swallowed: "Hey! Where are you? Are you dead? Hey... Fuck, you're so careless, what the hell..."

Qiao Yue's pupils constricted, he clearly wanted to curl up his body, it hurt so much!He didn't want to be beaten at all, but his brain nerves were out of control. What's going on?Is his body... broken?

{stupid!If you want to run out, just follow along a little bit! }Suddenly, Qiao Yue's familiar yet unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere, and he said in a slightly mocking tone: {Leave your body to me, hurry up. }

In the cold and damp basement, Qiao Yue had a conversation with his second personality for the first time.

{Who are you? }

The successive stimulations made Xiao Qiao calm down more and more.

{My name is Shen Zitong, uh!How should I say it? }His voice is full of childishness, with the innocence of a child and the dark side that was forcibly endowed, {I am summoned by you...It is equivalent to your half body, okay, the nonsense is over, give me your body, hurry up point. }

The more Joe thought about it, he was really lonely, so now even if he met a possessed 'ghost', he felt happy.

He let his body out in a daze, looked at the little boy with an innocent smile, and called the trafficker's big brother in a soft childish voice, crying tears miserably while talking about the pain.He already had a good appearance, but now that he is making such a fuss, it can really stir up people's hearts.

Traffickers do not have the empathy of normal people, they have seen too many crying children.

Even so, he doesn't mind being a little more patient with the obedient and good-looking one.

Qiao Yue's body was full of skin injuries, and the man who was used to venting his anger on the children was already sure of how hard he should put in. He smiled and showed his big yellow teeth: "Don't you dislike it?"

"Big brother, what are you talking about... I feel so hurt... Woo..." Shen Zitong blinked, his dark pupils were full of bewilderment and innocence, like a lost little cheetah, with only immature canine teeth, allowing others to fiddle with it.

This feeling of bullying the weak greatly satisfied the man's vanity.

"I wish I had been so good earlier." The man rolled his eyes, still scolding dirty, but handed the clean food to the boy in a smooth manner, and didn't bother him any more.

Shen Zitong finished his dinner obediently. He smiled at the man in a flattering manner, and got a smoke ring from the man. The ventilation in the basement was poor. The man smoked strangely, so he quickly took his things and left. people.

The damp basement suddenly became quiet again.

Only then did Qiao Yue speak in his mind: {Are you a dead ghost? }

{puff!what are you thinking? }Shen Zitong sneered, {I am you, and you are me, we two are using one body now, and we should help each other together next. }

Two children under the age of eight are ignorant and ignorant of dual personalities.For Qiao Yue, in this empty basement, he finally had a little friend who could talk to him, he was really... so happy!

Humans live in groups. Qiao Yue, who hadn't communicated with the outside world for too long, had long since degraded in terms of language function, and Shen Zitong perfectly made up for this shortcoming.

Every time the traffickers brought food over, it was Shen Zitong who came forward. He quickly won the favor of the other party, allowing the two of them to understand the outside world a little bit more.

Not long after the weather warmed up, Qiao Yue had a new partner in his basement.

It was a little boy with a round face. He looked about five or six years old. He started crying as soon as he came in, and then kept calling his parents. If it was Qiao Yue before, he would definitely go up and comfort him, but After experiencing this kidnapping and trafficking, he didn't want to move at all.

The body is tired, and the mind is even more tired.

Suffering is not terrible, what is terrible is suffering without end.

Anyway... If you're tired from crying, you'll be fine. If you have time to cry, it's better to save your energy to deal with the next thing.

The child's physical strength was limited, and there was no one around to comfort him. After tears and snot ran down his face, the chubby boy stopped crying. He sat on the ground blankly for a while, and then whimpered silently. Only then did he see Qiao Yue who was sitting on the side.

"Brother...Brother..." The little fat man crawled over on both hands and feet, and said in a crying voice: "I want to go home, brother... woo..."

Qiao Yue glanced at him coldly, and the crying that the boy was about to blurt out was caught in his throat. He looked at the boy timidly, his big black eyes were like cute deer.Qiao Yue said in a low voice: "Don't cry, it's useless to cry."

"I miss my mother, I miss my father."

"I want, too."

"Then why don't you go home, big brother?"

"Because some bad guy locked us here."

"There are bad guys, will there be a black cat sheriff to catch the bad guys?"

"No, we're the only ones here."

"...Oh." The child's voice gradually dropped, and he approached Qiao Yue cautiously, and seeing that he didn't refuse, he squeezed tightly together with him.

After a period of time, children were sent over continuously, and the traffickers would keep asking the children's home addresses. As long as those ignorant and immature children answered correctly, they would beat the children severely and deduct money. their dinner.

They also asked Qiao Yue, but were fooled by Shen Zitong's blank look.

Little Fatty was an obedient and smart boy, but at this time it became a disadvantage because he was beaten so many times.Qiao Yue secretly asked him to answer if he didn't remember, but he would be forced to ask again and again by the traffickers.

Seven children, huddled in a small basement, their minds were blurred, and they began to forget their past and please the traffickers.

Qiao Yue saw it, but couldn't stop it.

Because he is also... one of the squeezed.

For the first time, he was so eager for power, the power to beat everyone, to suppress.

In the middle of the night, after the children were stunned, they were divided into three parts and taken away. Those people were going to start selling... goods.

Most of the trafficked children are boys. In some remote, patriarchal mountain villages, if there are no boys in the family, they have no roots and will be looked down upon by others. Therefore, there is a derivative of the dark industry of human traffickers.

After Qiao Yue came out, after more than half a year, he saw the little boy who was brought by the man who abducted him back then.

The man has grown a lot taller, but his body has become thinner, and the bones of his elbows seem to protrude from the thin layer of flesh at any time, giving people a sense of horror like a walking skeleton. The child, but his eyes were cloudy like a dying old man, as if he would fall down at any moment.

The other party didn't seem to know him anymore, and he was silent like a wooden man every day, listening to the traffickers and doing all kinds of manual work.

After several days of groping, Qiao Yue was sure that the child was trafficked like him, but he had already been beaten and subdued by the traffickers, like a dog tied up in a collar, he did not dare to resist.

Soon, Qiao Yue and the others were transported to the place of sale, a very remote mountain village. The people here spoke with a strong accent, and Qiao Yue couldn't understand a word.The three children were locked in a dilapidated small house by the traffickers. Two adults went to negotiate the price, and another little boy and a rough and ferocious wild dog were in charge of guarding them.

Can't drag on any longer, Joe gritted his teeth and had to run.

That night--

Qiao Yue called the other two little boys over and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to run away?"

The three of them were locked together, and it was impossible to run alone. Instead of letting these children startle them when they left alone, it would be better to run with three of them. If they spread out, no matter what, one of them would always escape in the end.

"Is it possible?" Little Fatty's eyes widened nervously, his voice was full of surprise, but soon, he became depressed again, "But I don't remember where my home is anymore?"

"I don't remember either, but...but we can go to the police uncle." Another child said timidly: "Mom told me that if you have any difficulties, you can go to them, and they will help."

Little Fatty was moved by the words. He didn’t like this place. He had no toys, no delicious meals, and had to face scary adults. He wanted to go home so much. He promised that he would be a good boy when he came home. I won't be picky eaters anymore, I will listen to the teacher's lectures carefully, and I won't pull Xiao Hua's braids anymore.

"How do we get out? There's a big black dog outside." Little Fatty said weakly.

Dogs will bark when they hear movement at night, and the human traffickers sleeping inside will be woken up. Children will definitely not be able to run away from adults, and they will naturally be caught back when the time comes.

Qiao Yue and Shen Zitong gritted their teeth at the same time. There was nothing they could do. Maybe it was to negotiate the price. The traffickers relaxed their guard a little bit. If they didn't leave, they would be sold to this poor mountain village. Look more closely.

"When the time comes, the three of us will run away separately. There will only be two of them, and one of them will always escape." Qiao Yue said calmly, telling the other two people about the risk, "So don't blame the escaped person for the two people who were captured. , This is a gamble, and you can run as fast as you can by then."

The little chubby pier was not as mature as Joe, and he didn't know much about what he said, but there was a sense of tension from the bottom of his heart, and he nodded very solemnly.

Qiao Yue's escape plan was extremely rough, but there was nothing he could do.

The lower right corner of the small wooden house where they were locked was broken, but it was not enough to allow a child to pass through. Perhaps it was because of this that the two people let it go.The junction where the wood breaks is rough, and there will be a tingling sensation to the finger.

Gritting his teeth, Qiao Yue insisted on breaking the piece of wood with his hands.

But the child's strength was too weak, and the three of them took turns to use their strength to break it open a little bit.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the exhausted little chubby sat down on the ground, with a depressed expression, tears in his eyes: "We can't leave, I miss my mother... woo..."

The other child was infected and sobbed softly.

Fortunately, they understand that they cannot let other people hear, and their voices are small.

Qiao Yue was still exerting force, a small and sharp thing poked into his palm, and crimson blood flowed out from his palm, but he was still exerting force, very, very forcefully, what he was trying to open now was not a door door, but his whole life.

When he goes back, he will be stronger than everyone else, eat a lot of food, grow tall and big, learn how to fight, and beat all traffickers to death.

Must... kill them.

There was a wave of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and Qiao Yue's thoughts were fragmented for a while. When he woke up again, the wooden board had been lifted enough for the children to pass through, and the other two looked at him with adoring eyes. He said he was amazing.

Is it Shen Zitong?

Qiao Yue hooked his lips reluctantly, but didn't speak.

The palm is painful, but the heart is very relaxed.

The dew was deep at night, the corners of Xuanyue's mouth curled up in the sky, and the stars all over the sky were emitting tiny lights. It was quiet outside the house, only the sound of frogs and cicadas chirping. Qiao Yue woke up the other two children and told them that it was almost time.

Little Fatty hid behind Qiao Yue nervously and in fear, and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"

"Go wherever there is a road. It is best to find a river. Walk along the water, and you will always find people." Qiao Yue was also quite unconfident in what he said. After all, the village here buys and sells people, and other places Wouldn't it?

This is a big gamble, and if you win, you can go home.

If you lose, the situation will not be worse than it is now.
