Ru Xian filled out the form of her willingness and gathered in the school garden with a few good female classmates to talk about her future and dreams.
Some said that they would go to the silk factory after graduation, while others said that they wanted to go to university. Some even said that their families had found a partner and were preparing to get married after graduation.
"Immortal, what do you want to do after graduation?”Everyone asked in unison.
"Although I like acting, I don't want to be an actor. I want to be a doctor." Ru Xian's expression was very serious, and her friends kept praising her acting skills. She had been able to sing and dance since elementary school. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a good brain. When he entered high school, he quickly joined the school's literature and art club, rehearsed stage plays, and went to various schools and villages to perform for charity. Even the teacher thought highly of her!
"You're so outstanding. It's a pity that you don't become an actress. Why do you want to be a doctor?" His friends were puzzled.
Ru Xian shifted her gaze away and stared at the mountain range in the distance."Do you know? I didn't have a father since I was young. It was my mother who raised me and my brothers with great difficulty. However, she was old and her body was not as healthy as before. She was often sick. Seeing her once jet-black hair dyed with color in the torrent of time, my heart ached.”
She pulled her gaze back to her good friend and said solemnly,"So, I want to be a doctor and treat my mother and your mother!”
Her friends were praising her for her filial piety and ideals. Her second brother, who was currently the second in the family, came to school panting. Second Brother had just been married for less than three months. After that, he had been running a small clothing store in town with his sister-in-law. Therefore, he rarely went home. Before she could speak to her second brother, she saw him anxiously say to her," Youngest sister, Mom suddenly fell ill. She's in the hospital now. She says she wants to see you…"
Hearing that his mother was ill, Ruxian felt dizzy. She tried her best to calm herself down, but she still fell to the ground. After being helped up by her brother, she said with tears in her eyes,"Where's Mommy? Mom…Second Brother, quickly take me there…"
Following his second brother, Ru Xian boarded the boat. At the Longmen Pier, her sister-in-law appeared, and she followed her on the boat.
The boat sailed all the way to Jiangjin Pier before the three of them got off. Ru Xian then followed her brother and sister-in-law to board the ferry crossing the river.
"Second Brother, which hospital is Mom in?”Ru Xian still couldn't stop her tears as she asked anxiously.
"At Red Flag River Gully, Third Aunt's place. She's a doctor now, have you forgotten?”Second Brother patted her head and answered seriously.
At Jiangjin railway station, they boarded the train to Chongqing.
Second Brother handed the thermos flask to Ruxian." Drink some and sleep. Don't worry. We'll be there soon."”
Ruxian, who had been on the run and was extremely sad, had tears on her face. She leaned on her brother's shoulder and gradually fell asleep.
After some time, she finally woke up. The train seemed to be still rumbling.
"Second brother, are we not there yet? Did I oversleep?" Thinking that she might have missed the time to get off the car because she was too sleepy, her two big eyes immediately filled with confusion.
"It's nothing. It seems that we got on the wrong car when we came here. We'll get off at the next stop and change trains.”
"Yes! Your brother is a blockhead. Are you hungry? Eat something!" Sister-in-law had gotten some fruits and boiled eggs from somewhere. He handed it to her with a smile. She had been married to her brother for a few months, but this was the first time Ruxian had been so close to her sister-in-law. She always gave off a noble and unapproachable feeling. It wasn't easy for her to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, so Ru Xian couldn't be a wet blanket. She nodded obediently and took the food from her sister-in-law's hand. She began to eat absentmindedly.
As the train sped along, Ru Xian felt that she was getting further and further away from her mother. The anxiety and helplessness in her heart were indescribable." Mom, you must be fine. Your daughter will be by your side soon…"
Looking at the gradually fading twilight, the night was getting deeper and deeper.
Just as Liu and Sister-in-law had said, they got off at the station where the train stopped. The sleepy Ru Xian was pushed by her second brother and sister-in-law onto the next train that was headed for an unknown destination. She suddenly came to her senses. Why did she keep changing cars and boats from the moment she left the house? Would the journey from Jiangjin to Chongqing really be so long? Looking at the darkness outside the car window, Ru Xian timidly tugged at the corner of her second brother's clothes.""Second Brother, where are you taking me?”
"I'm going to see Mom. Where else do you think I can go?”Without waiting for his second brother to answer, his sister-in-law immediately interrupted him. "Don't you believe us? It's all because you're a sleepyhead. Otherwise, we would have arrived long ago.”She smiled mysteriously at Ru Xian.
Such an answer and expression made Ru Xian's tense heart relax a little. Her mother's kind face and tired figure appeared in her mind. She recalled the song [Little Girl Selling Flowers] that her mother had taught her to sing and the scene of her mother braiding her hair. Now that she was terminally ill, she did not know when this journey would end. When would he be able to see his seriously ill mother? As tears streamed down her face, she fell into a deep sleep.
"Immortal, let's get out of the car. " Immortal…" The train had already entered the platform at some point in time. Sister-in-law forcefully pushed her out of her deep sleep. Before Ru Xian could ask anything, she was pulled off the train by her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, where's second brother?" She looked around but could not find her brother.
"He was still here. He might have been waiting for us at the exit.”Sister-in-law replied. Ru Xian wanted to continue asking, but her sister-in-law pulled her and started running in the crowd. Even when they left the station, Second Brother was still nowhere to be seen.
Ever since they got out of the car, Sister-in-law had been holding her hand tightly. She could only jog behind her. It was almost evening. Sister-in-law brought her to a hotel. There seemed to be something written near it that said " Weizhong County ". Before she could see it clearly, Second Sister-in-law dragged her into the hotel's door.
As her mind was in a state of confusion and confusion, Second Sister-in-law brought her to the most remote room in the hotel. He forcefully pushed her into the room and placed a kerosene lamp on the table. Then, with a clang, he dragged her inside. Ru Xian only reacted when she heard the footsteps gradually leaving. Yes, she had been deceived.
She had been deceived by her own brother and sister-in-law. She did not know where this place was, nor did she know why they had brought her here. However, this scene made Ru Xian shiver. She did not dare to think about what would happen in the next second. She wanted to escape from here, but the door was locked and the window was at the top of the wall. There were no gaps in the surroundings that allowed him to see the outside world. She noticed that the floor was made of wood and knocked on the wall again. It made a rattling sound, as if it was a partition made of bamboo.
"The person is here. It's definitely Qing Zi, and he's also very handsome.”The sound got closer and closer, and the door was opened. Ru Xian raised her head and saw an unfamiliar man in his thirties standing in front of the door, sizing her up. Second sister-in-law stood behind the man.
"Second Sister-in-law?" Ru Xian exclaimed.
Second sister-in-law ignored her and did not even look at her. She only heard her say to the man,"You've seen him. I spent a lot of effort. If you want to talk about rice grains with me, then there's no need.”Rice meant money.
Then, she locked the door from the inside, and the sound of the two footsteps gradually faded away.
Ru Xian was finally sure that her brother and sister-in-law had treated her as a commodity. They had planned to trick her out from the beginning. Perhaps it was because her brother didn't want to see her in pain, or maybe his sister-in-law was afraid that his brother would be soft-hearted and deliberately sent him away, or maybe he went to contact the buyer. But no matter what, she was unwilling to believe that her own brother would do such a thing to her.
But now, she couldn't escape. No one responded to her calls. Who could save her in such a strange and sinful place?
