On the bus, Shao Mingsheng couldn't bear to see Duanmu Feng's dispirited appearance and turned his head to the window. A huge bolt of lightning tore through the night sky. In that flash, Shao Mingsheng saw a figure silently watching them from a window on the second floor of the orphanage.
Even though it was only for an instant, Shao Mingsheng could still clearly see that the figure was Duanmu Feng's younger sister, Duanmu Hui.
When the bus completely disappeared into the rain, Duanmu Hui sat on the ground as if she had suddenly lost all her strength. She hugged the worn-out doll in her hand tightly in front of her chest and cried silently. " Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" At this moment, she was so weak and helpless.
When Duanmu Feng appeared in front of her, Duanmu Hui's heart was so excited that it almost flew up. How she wished she could be with her beloved brother. But she couldn't do that. As she grew older, Duanmu Hui gradually understood her brother's silent sacrifice for her for so many years. In order to allow him to continue living in the orphanage, his brother did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and become a tool for the perverted old woman, the orphanage director. Duanmu Hui knew that her brother would have had a chance to live a better life if she had not been a burden. She had become the shackle that bound her brother, blocking his pursuit of freedom. Therefore, she decided not to rely on her brother anymore. She wanted to give him freedom. Therefore, when the orphanage's director proposed to find her a foster father, even though she knew what it meant, she agreed without hesitation. Her brother had already sacrificed so much for her, and it was time for her to do something. Although this was her own choice, Duanmu Hui's heart still ached uncontrollably when she saw her brother's despairing and sad expression. With tears in her eyes, Duanmu Hui couldn't help but hum the song she used to sing when she was young. She would lie beside her brother every day, pestering him and making him sing.
The dark sky hangs low,
Bright stars follow,
Bugs fly, bugs fly,
Who are you missing?
The stars in the sky shed tears,
The roses on the ground withered,
The cold wind blows, the cold wind blows,
As long as you accompany me.
Worms fly, flowers sleep,
It was beautiful to have a pair.
Not afraid of the dark, not afraid of heartbreak.
Whether tired or not,
He didn't care about north, south, east, or west.
……………………
With a sudden knock on the door, the voice of the orphanage's director sounded outside the door."Xiao Hui, open the door. It's time for you to set off with your adoptive father!”
"I know! I'm coming!" Duanmu Hui raised her head and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Her expression returned to normal. She walked to the bed and carefully put the doll in her luggage.
"Brother, goodbye. I hope that in the days without me, you can be as free and happy as the wind.”Duanmu Hui took one last look at the direction where Duanmu Feng had left before walking to the first floor with determination.
It was late at night, but the teenagers in room 204 were still awake. The youths no longer spoke. Although no one said it out loud, everyone knew that they were worried about Duanmu Feng who had escaped from prison. With a loud bang, the iron door of the detention room was opened. Duanmu Feng was dragged into the confinement room.
The deputy warden swept his baton across the window of the six teenagers as if he was demonstrating his power. Then, he pointed at Duanmu Feng, who was covered in wounds and looked like he was on his last breath, and said,"You bunch of scum, you want to escape? He was simply daydreaming! Scum should act like scum. Even if you run out, no one will be waiting for you outside! In the future, if any of you run away again, this kid will be your role model!”
After he finished speaking, the deputy warden turned around and ordered Shao Mingsheng and Zhang Ming to drag Duanmu Feng into the detention room. Just as Shao Mingsheng turned around and was about to leave, the deputy warden suddenly called out to him and ordered Shao Mingsheng to handcuff Duanmu Feng with a cold smile.
"What is it? Cuff him? Do you want him to die?" Shao Mingsheng silently cursed in his heart. Duanmu Feng's body was currently so weak. If he were to be shackled for another night on a cold rainy night, he would definitely be in danger!
Seeing Shao Mingsheng dawdling and not making any movements, the deputy warden's expression began to change. Seeing this, Zhang Ming, who was at the side, wanted to take the initiative to handcuff Duanmu Feng, but he was forced back by the deputy warden's cold gaze."Did I tell you to go? I asked him to do it!"
" Yes, yes, yes…" Zhang Ming gave Shao Mingsheng a look while smiling obsequiously. It was obvious that the deputy warden wanted to teach Shao Mingsheng a lesson so that Shao Mingsheng would understand that in this prison, the deputy warden was the boss.
When Zhang Ming saw that Shao Mingsheng was still indifferent, he became a little anxious. He pushed him and finally handcuffed Duanmu Feng to the wall. The deputy warden snorted coldly and glared at Shao Mingsheng before turning around and walking out of the detention room.
Seeing the deputy warden leave, Zhang Ming gently pushed Shao Mingsheng," I'm telling you, why do you have to go against the deputy warden? To us small soldiers, he can easily use some tricks to make us suffer! You don't dare to do this in the future!”
To be honest, Zhang Ming treated Shao Mingsheng quite well. However, Shao Mingsheng just couldn't stand Zhang Ming bowing and scraping in front of the deputy warden, so he didn't reply. He glanced at Duanmu Feng and walked towards the door after making sure that he was fine. Zhang Ming didn't care about Shao Mingsheng's indifference. He caught up with Shao Mingsheng from behind and began to earnestly persuade him.
When Duanmu Feng was captured and brought back, the other six youths in room 204 all had a bitter smile on their faces. Although they tried their best to escape from this place, they could not escape the net of the human heart in the end. The world thought that these criminals were cold and heartless scum, but who would have thought that it was their passion that led them to the path of crime.
The rain had stopped at some point. In the quiet night, there was only the sound of rain dripping from the leaves into the puddle. In the early morning, the door of the detention room opened again. Shao Mingsheng and Zhang Ming opened the six iron doors of the 204 youths in turn.
"Hey, you guys can leave now!" The deputy warden stood at the door and shouted as if he was driving a herd of livestock. The youngsters lined up and walked towards the main gate. When he passed by the room where Duanmu Feng was imprisoned, Li Qiwen, who had pimples all over his face, turned his head and peeked inside. Duanmu Feng was like a suffering Jesus. His arms were stretched out and cuffed to the wall. His head drooped weakly, looking like a dead man.
"Little Wind?" Li Qiwen called out in a low voice.
Then, he was hit on the back by the deputy warden." What are you shouting for?”
Li Qiwen staggered. Chen Haonan, who was walking behind him, reached out and pulled him back. Just as she was about to ask him if he was alright, she saw a relieved smile on Li Qiwen's face.
"He's fine! I saw him raise his head!" Li Qiwen said softly while Chen Haonan was helping him up.
Chen Haonan laughed too! Yes, as long as he was alive, there was hope for everything.
