The short meeting ended in a dull atmosphere.
When the meeting ended, it was already lunchtime. Shao Mingsheng escorted Duanmu Feng directly to the canteen. The canteen was very simple and the food was very poor. The food in the canteen was rationed. Moreover, the amount was very small. Basically, it was in a state where it would not let you starve to death or eat your fill. The purpose of this was to prevent these energetic youths from causing trouble in the juvenile detention center. Because of long-term malnutrition, the teenagers who had been imprisoned for a long time were listless every day.
After receiving the guests, Duanmu Feng had his head drooped. He was listless as he stared at the food on his plate and did not move for a long time. Fatty Wang Dazhuang had finished his food in two or three bites. Duanmu Feng looked at Fatty Wang Dazhuang's expression as he stared at the food on everyone's plates. With a push of his hand, he pushed his food in front of him.
Wang Dazhuang was ecstatic. After thanking him, he picked up the plate and started eating.
The youngsters already knew that the person they were visiting wasn't Duanmu Feng's younger sister. From Duanmu Feng's sullen expression, they could guess that something bad must have happened during this visit. But no one asked. No one knew what to say.
At this moment, Wang Dazhuang, who was at the side, had already swallowed the food on his plate again. He patted his round belly and burped, asking,"Hey, Feng, who came to see you just now?”
" The orphanage's director!" Duanmu Feng lowered his head and said.
"Hmm? Why is he looking for you?" The big fatty Wang Dazhuang asked.
"She said my sister was adopted!”Duanmu Feng lowered his head even further.
Upon hearing this, the other youths 'expressions turned grave, except for Fatty. Fatty Wang Dazhuang didn't seem to notice the change in everyone's expression and continued to ask without thinking,""Eh? Wasn't it a good thing to be adopted? Why are you unhappy?"
"Idiot!" The bespectacled man, Ren Shujie, put down his chopsticks. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes." That wasn't adoption. It was bought by a rich person as a doll!”
The bespectacled man Ren Shujie was cold. His teasing attitude made Li Qiwen, who had pimples all over his face, unhappy." Stop it, bespectacled man!”Li Qiwen glared at him. Then, he turned his head to look at Duanmu Feng. Duanmu Feng did not say anything, nor did he refute. She just lowered her head. Li Qiwen wanted to say something to comfort Duanmu Feng, but nothing came out of his mouth.
In the cafeteria, Shao Mingsheng was walking back and forth to maintain the order of the cafeteria. He had heard every single word of the youths 'discussion. Although the spectacled man Ren Shujie's words were unpleasant, Shao Mingsheng knew that he was telling the truth. Moreover, it was a fact that everyone understood.
Human trafficking revived in the later stages of the war due to the establishment of the Jiyuan Nation. After the war, the country strictly prohibited the trafficking of women in order to cover up this glorious history. However, for a country that lacked order and law and discipline, such a rule was simply a piece of paper. Moreover, those who could buy and sell people were either rich or noble. The law was nothing to them. Of course, for the sake of their reputation, these rich and powerful people would not openly engage in human trafficking. They secretly used all kinds of methods to buy and sell those young women for their pleasure. Gradually, the trafficking of women became a secret that everyone knew.
Human desires were endless, and with the expansion of desire, it became more and more perverted and ugly. In the process of buying and selling women to satisfy their filthy desires, the upper class gradually began to develop new evils. Those young, beautiful, and mature women could no longer satisfy them. They gradually extended their demonic claws to those teenagers or even younger children. Later on, human trafficking was no longer limited to women. Those handsome boys also became the targets of human trafficking.
At this time, the orphans in the orphanage became a hotbed to satisfy the perverted desires of the upper class. There was no one more suitable to be played with than these orphans. These orphans no longer had any relatives in the world, so they did not have to worry about anyone coming to find trouble. At the same time, these orphans were too weak. They did not have the ability to resist at all. They could satisfy the twisted psychological needs of the upper class.
This was the cruel reality of the orphanage.
In the winter of that year, the six-year-old Duanmu Feng carried his sister and escaped from the fire. In the heavy snow, the young Duanmu Feng walked aimlessly. The cold wind was like a knife, carving traces of frost on his young face.
Duanmu Feng didn't know where he was going, nor did he know how to survive in the future. After all, he was only six years old. The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and no one's gaze lingered on them for a second. In such a world, everyone's own food and clothing were a problem. Who would care about the life and death of two children of unknown origins?
Duanmu Feng didn't know how long he had walked for. He was really too tired. Duanmu Feng stopped in a corner that was sheltered from the wind. His sister was already tired from crying and had fallen asleep in her thick clothes. Duanmu Feng wanted to put his sister down to rest, but with a shake, his sister woke up from her sleep.
" Mommy, mommy, I want mommy…" The three-year-old sister seemed to remember the fire that had just happened and cried. Duanmu Feng coaxed her gently, but he could not stop his sister from crying. There was a trash can in the corner. Her sister's crying startled a stray cat hiding inside. The cat jumped out of the bin and emptied the bin. The two little people were frightened by the sudden noise. After Night Cat left, the younger sister's gaze was attracted by something in the trash can. It was a cute plush toy. Although it was dirty and old, it was not damaged.
Duanmu Feng picked up the toy from the trash can, patted the dust off it, and then gently handed it to his sister. The younger sister had already forgotten to cry. She hugged the plush toy as if she had found a treasure, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
It was still snowing. Duanmu Feng looked at the trash can on the ground and his heart lit up. He bent over and used his hands to clean up the trash in the trash can bit by bit. The trash can wasn't big, but it was enough for the small siblings.
His younger sister lay quietly in Duanmu Feng's arms, playing with the doll in her hand curiously.
"Brother, I'm cold!" The younger sister raised her little face.
"Squeeze closer to Brother. Squeeze closer and you'll be warm!”Duanmu Feng said as he hugged his sister more tightly. "How is it? You're not cold anymore, right?"
"Yes!" The younger sister nodded. After a while, her stomach grumbled." Brother, I'm hungry!”
"Sister, be good! Hurry up and sleep. You won't be hungry if you sleep!”
"Brother, I can't sleep! Can you sing for me?"
"Good!" The older brother looked at the younger sister in his arms lovingly and sang softly," The stars in the sky cry, the roses on the ground wither, the cold wind blows, the cold wind blows, as long as I have you by my side..."
