047 [There is righteousness in the world]
"Thorn!" Su Dingxian lit a match.
A faint flame illuminated the wet and dark room.
In the corner of the wall, the girl Alan shrank into a ball, looking at Su Dingxian who was slowly approaching in panic, and said, "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Next to her, the woman comforted her and said, "Alan, don't be afraid, he is Mr. Su! Mr. Su is a reporter, he is here to help you!"
Alan was trembling all over, obviously still very scared.
Su Dingxian tried his best to slow down his tone of speech and said to Alan: "Miss Alan, I know you can understand my speech. I am a reporter from Sing Tao Daily. My name is Su Dingxian."
Alan looked at Su Dingxian with horror.
Su Dingxian felt that those eyes were like a frightened little rabbit.
At this moment, the matches burned out and were wiped out.
The room became dark again.
Su Dingxian stood still, without scratching a match, and continued to say to the curled figure: "I know you are sad, you are wronged... But if you can't cheer up, those bad guys will not get the punishment they deserve."
"You have also seen that your grandma is in poor health, and you have a younger brother and sister. This family needs you to support it. If you fall down, this family will disperse."
"Your younger brothers and sisters are very cute, they are also very smart. I know you love them very much, otherwise you wouldn't have rowed a boat to sell lotus seeds for them to go to school, and you wouldn't have picked up a baby stroller from the shore for them to ride..."
"They are still very young and can't do anything for you, let alone do anything for this family... They don't even understand what happened to you. They only know that their sister who loves them the most and who hides in this small house crying all day long..."
A curled figure opposite choked, sobbing, and wiping tears.
Su Dingxian then took out the matchbox again, thorned, and lit a match again.
At this time, the woman had already brought the candles.
Su Dingxian used a match to light half a candle.
The dark light of the candle quickly illuminated this dark place.
Only then did Su Dingxian see the whole room clearly.
The small room was full of debris, and a girl curled up in the corner of the wall with her hair disheveled.
The girl was trembling all over. When Su Dingxian looked at her in the candlelight, she was also looking at Su Dingxian timidly.
Su Dingxian took a breath and walked over.
The girl shrank her body in fear, her eyes showing fear.
Su Dingxian said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."
The woman next to her also said, "Alan, don't be afraid, Mr. Su is a good person..."
Alan's trembling body then calmed down a little, widened her eyes, and looked vigilantly at Su Dingxian who was walking towards her.
Su Dingxian finally walked in front of Alan, feeling that he had only been walking for a century in just three or four steps.
Su Dingxian slowly squatted down when facing Alan, looked at Alan with his eyes and said to her softly: "Alan, I know you are very uncomfortable and painful, but now I need your help and you need to tell me the whole story... Because only in this way can I really help you, help you get justice, and let those evil people be punished."
Alan didn't say anything, but a trace of hope appeared in her eyes, as if she was in the dark, and she saw the light for the first time.
Su Dingxian continued to work hard and said, "If you are willing to tell your story, then you nod your head. If you are not willing, it doesn't matter---we still have time, take your time, okay?"
Perhaps it was Su Dingxian's whisper that touched Alan, or perhaps it was Alan's long-suppressed grief that had been released by Su Dingxian's words, she couldn't help but cry "wow".
The crying was earth-shaking and heart-wrenching.
Outside---
Sha Gan and others who were waiting in the shed were moved when they heard the sound.
These iron men who are seeking life in the sea, and those who are in the wind and waves, and those who even put life and death aside, listen to the heart-wrenching crying, all of them feel their hearts twitching and desolate in their hearts.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said, but they said in their hearts: "Poor child!"
...
Two more candles were lit indoors.
The extra candlelight makes the interior brighter.
The weak and coughing woman took the wooden comb with her teeth-lost and was helping her daughter Alan comb out of her messy hair.
Alan stopped crying, she was having a meal.
To be precise, after walking out of that dark and humid little room, Alan's first words were: "My grandma, I'm hungry!"
Su Dingxian is a very patient person.
It was not until Alan finished his meal that he started to interview Alan.
Alan sat under the bright light, her pale and beautiful face made her look extremely youthful. Her face, which should have been full of lively and cute, was filled with melancholy and sadness.
Under the light, she whispered the terrible accident, while Su Dingxian took a pen and wrote it carefully in the notebook.
Through Alan's oral statement, Su Dingxian quickly restored the whole story in his mind.
It was a breeze night.
The waves were dotted, and Alan was rowing a boat and selling lotus seeds he had picked on the coast.
Alan is beautiful and has a sweet voice, so her lotus seeds sell the best among the many lotus picking girls.
Alan was very happy because as long as she sold more lotus seeds, she could raise enough money to pay tuition for her dear brothers and sisters.
But Alan didn't know that just when she was happily selling lotus seeds, a demon stared at her on a cruise ship.
When Alan remembered that "nightmare", her voice was trembling, her teeth were trembling, and her body was trembling.
Su Dingxian knew that she was repeating or experiencing that nightmare--it was a cruel thing to make a girl recall the scene of being raped that day, but Su Dingxian had no choice.
"He is a demon! He drinks wine and tears my clothes!"
"He whipped me with a whip! Call me a lowly race!"
"He said he was British and a noble race, and it was my honor to force me to be a sacrificial race!"
"He stuck my neck and I can't breathe!"
"I feel like I'm about to die!"
Su Dingxian's pen quickly recorded these contents in the notebook.
Alan's face became paler and more terrifying.
Under her description, all the tragic situations that happened that day were presented to Su Dingxian.
"Okay, enough!" Seeing that Alan was about to faint, Su Dingxian stopped her story at the right time.
Alan was sweating heavily and gasped as if she woke up from a nightmare. Her mother hugged her tightly in her arms and said, "Poor child! Poor child!"
Su Dingxian put away the recorded things, then his eyes shone brightly, and said to Alan and her grandma firmly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I not only want to let the damn British sailor lie in prison, but also let those who are accomplices of the tiger suffer great trouble!"
Alan, who was panting heavily, gradually calmed down when she heard Su Dingxian say this.
After doing all this, Su Dingxian no longer stopped, but left five hundred yuan for the woman when he left.
The woman was so grateful that she almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
You know, in this era, 500 yuan was the salary of many people for half a year, which was even more an astronomical figure for those who could not save money.
Su Dingxian said nothing, but just glanced at the people of Sha Gan and said, "There is something I need your help, are you willing?"
Sha Dan and others looked at each other, and they all saw Su Dingxian's righteous deeds just now.
There are still good people in this world.
"We are all gangers and untouchables. Mr. Su respects us and we are willing to go through fire and water for you!"
Su Dingxian shouted ok, and then said, "Since you promised to help, then someone will be in trouble!"
