Why can't you be your own mother? Blood ties are not equivalent to family affection at some point.

Luo Ren was silent for a while. At that time, he felt the pleasure of revenge in his heart, but now he felt nothing when he thought about it. He didn't hate or love.

It would be more appropriate to say that it was indifferent.

But Muyo thought he was sad and sighed to comfort him: "Sometimes, this is the case. I am not much better than you. You know, I was adopted by Aunt Hong - my mother threw me in the orphanage."

Luo Ren looked at Mu Dai in surprise. Of course, he knew that Mu Dai was adopted by Huo Zihong, but he always thought that Mu Dai was very young when he was sent to the orphanage and had no memory of this.

She actually remembers it.

"I don't remember her face anymore, I just remember that she led me away. She wore a pair of black high-heeled leather shoes. The glue on the heels was almost falling off. I was twisting and twisting. I kept staring at her feet, afraid that she would fall. Then she led me to a gate, stuffed me a peach, and asked me to sit down, saying that I wanted to do something and told me not to run around."

Kiyo sighed and lay back.

Later, Huo Zihong also asked her, but she didn't remember that the child's attention was very strange, and only remembered some details, such as the pair of high heels that were about to break, and the... Tao.

It was a peach, rosy and soft, and it smelled fruity. It was washed cleanly. She held it in her hand and couldn't bear to eat it. She held it under her nose every once in a while and then swallowed her saliva.

She didn't eat it and wanted to wait for her mother to take her first bite, so that her mother would think she was sensible and would like her more.

Why did you think like this at that time?

She sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the orphanage, holding a peach, and sat from the setting sun to the dusk. The aunt from the orphanage came out one after another, but she just didn't go in.

Later, the manager came out and coaxed her and said, "We are your mother's friends, your mother asked you to sleep here tonight."

She asked cleverly, "If you are really my mom's friend, do you know what my mom's name?"

...

Finally, she lived in, holding the peach every day, like a baby, and no one allowed to touch it. She put it in the quilt at night and hugged it in the bathroom, for fear that someone would steal it.

Finally, the peach turned rotten by itself. She thought it was the peach that was sick, so she asked it to pillow and cover it with a quilt. She also imitated her mother when she coaxed her to sleep. She gently patted the quilt and said to the doctor: "It's good after taking the medicine."

The peach was still rotten, and she took it to throw it away. Her hands were covered with juice. She tiptoed and threw the peach into the trash can.

I didn't cry, and I didn't even shed a single tear, but later, I became allergic to eating peaches.

Later, I could also tell others in a relaxed tone, such as sharing a secret of "I will tell you if you are a friend."

When I was a child, Kiyo should be very cute, who would be willing to throw away such a pink-like daughter?

Luo Ren sighed softly.

Mu Dai asked him: "Later, your family didn't accept you, Luo Wenmiao's helping you?"

Luo Ren laughed loudly, how could it be? At that time, he was arrogant and held his anger. How could he return to Pinting like a defeated rooster and seek Luo Wenmiao's protection again and again? He is already an adult.

"I did something that was pretentious after thinking about it, but I was quite angry at that time. After hanging up the phone, I tore my passport in front of my friend and said, "That's it, I won't go back."

Facing Kiyo's surprised gaze, Luo Ren gave her a positive answer: "Really, I have lived in Southeast Asia for four years, and most of my time in the Philippines."

Kiyo stuttered when he spoke: "Then...you're working hard, right?"

Without a passport or a legitimate identity certificate, how can you find a suitable job? You can only do things like black immigrants, washing dishes, washing dishes, and punching on TV, doing all the physical work that people in China disdain to do?

Wait, she remembered that there were guests who came to the bar before and said that it was in Southeast Asia, and the erotic industry was very developed. Regardless of men and women, Luo Ren would not be...

Kiyo was startled by her own thoughts. No, in order to get rid of this ridiculous idea from her mind, she had to ask clearly: "What are you doing there...?"

This time, Luo Ren was silent for a longer time than ever before.

Just when Mu Dai was about to lose his temper, he spoke slowly.

"I was employed by local private armed forces with guns, which is a type of mercenary."

Mercenaries? I seem to have heard of it, but it is often connected to Iraq and the Middle East battlefield, which is nothing more than another world for Kiyo.

Luo Ren smiled: "You may not know that the situation in the Philippines is special."

It is different. In the 40 years of conflict between the anti-government armed forces in the Philippines, more than 150,000 people have died in various violent incidents, kidnapping, armed fighting, and extremist incidents have emerged one after another. Especially in the southern region, there have been many kidnappings against wealthy overseas Chinese and foreign tourists. There are even signs that due to the corruption of the police force, many kidnapping incidents were actually involved, which led to the public's self-inflicted danger. When something happened, they were even unwilling to call the police and turned to other channels.

Private armed forces with guns emerged. Compared with the lions who often say tens of millions of dollars in a kidnapper group, they charge equally expensive but relatively reasonable remuneration to confront some kidnapper groups head-on. Sometimes, the intensity of the firefighting is no less than a small war.

Most of the members of the recruitment of mercenaries come from retired special forces abroad, but they are not limited. They are also aimed at civilians or outlaws. As long as they pass rigorous training, they can enter the corps.

Mu Dai was stunned for a long time and silently understood the time: "Then later, was there something happened at Pinting's family? Are you back?"

Luo Ren shook his head: "Before something happened at Pinting's house, I offended someone there and couldn't stay."

Offended someone? Who?

The frustration that night, the previous depression, seemed to be so frivolous in front of Luo Ren's story.

In the darkness, Luo Ren seemed to come from another world, and Kiyo shrank unconsciously.

Luo Ren smiled, with infinite self-deprecating and melancholy in his voice: "Sometimes, with secrets, I can get closer and say it out, but suddenly I feel that the distance from you has become farther away."

He closed his eyes: "It's very late, go to bed."

***

The next morning, Muyo was awakened by the sound of speech. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was sleeping at Luo Ren's house.

He quickly pushed open the cabinet. Luo Ren was gone, and the air cushion bed and other things had long been folded up. A pair of her calfskin boots were placed next to the cabinet.

It wasn't the one I threw away, it should have been taken from the bar in the morning. When I put it on, Muyo felt very disappointed.

It was a long night, and we were in the same room, and we had a good impression of each other. It sounded like we should have gone a step further, but why did even she feel that the distance between Luo Ren seemed to be suddenly far away?

She went downstairs with all her thoughts, stepping on the stairs with her calfskin boots, even her steps were heavier than usual.

Ten thousand three were actually there, sitting by the small fish pond, accompanying Pinting to turn over the bracelet.

He is free! Don’t you be busy in the bar? Mu Dai frowned and walked up. Before he could speak, he took the initiative: "Little boss lady, it was Luo Ren who called me and asked me to send you boots."

He also added: "Brother Zheng just went out to buy vegetables and asked me to accompany him to Peng Ting."

With reasonableness and proof, Mu Dai couldn't find any excuse to pick bones in the eggs. She said oh and looked around: "Where is Luo Ren?"

Ten thousand three shook his head: "I didn't see it."

He was only concerned about talking to Mu Dai, and he was neglected to Pinting. Boss Pinting glared at Mu Dai unhappily, and then pulled Tsan's arm: "Brother Xiaodao, hurry up!"

Little...Little...Brother Xiaodao?

Muday was startled and stared at Yi Wansan: "She called you Brother Xiaodao?"

Ten thousand San was helpless: "Who knew her? I was shocked when I suddenly called this two days ago. But Uncle Zheng told me not to care. You know, and you can't reason with her..."

Speaking of the last sentence, his voice was lowered. Even though he knew that Pinting couldn't understand much, he still took into account her emotions.

Why did he talk to this woman again? Brother Xiaodao still wants to turn the ropes to her? Pinting was very angry. He threw the ropes and stood up. The red yarn balls on his knees rolled down, rolling to the other side, pulling a long red line on the ground.

A strange feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, but Kiyo couldn't tell why. When she walked to the door, she turned back thoughtfully.

While coaxing Pinting, Ten Wan Sanzheng bent down and picked up the ball of thread from the ground, and circled it again and again.

***

I didn't see Luo Ren again this day, and I didn't even show up at night. Mu Dayi couldn't help but go to see the table Luo Ren often sat on several times.

I sat down tonight, ordered a cup of coffee, and when I drank, I was like a hippopotamus drinking water, and I could hear the movement from a distance.

During the work interval, Mu Dai went to search for customer opinion books, Luo Ren's calligraphy was strong and beautiful.

——The waiter welcomes guests warmly and deserves praise.

I wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, and thought with a melancholy, how could a person like Luo Ren have the patience to play with her?

Uncle Zhang came over and said, "Luo Ren told me what happened last night."

Kiyo nodded.

"Is it their family?"

"yes."

Uncle Zhang was a little nervous: "You... didn't do anything, did you?"

Mu Dai looked at Uncle Zhang and smiled so hard that he felt desolate: "What dare I do, Uncle Zhang? I'm already very content."

Uncle Zhang felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't blame you for that incident."

Mu Dai smiled a little nervous: "What you said is wrong. You think it's me wrong. Aunt Hong also thinks it's my responsibility. Otherwise, why do we move? Otherwise, why is your first reaction? You are afraid that I will take action. You think I am guilty, and if you dare to take action, you will be even more guilty."

She was anxious, her chest was undulating. Uncle Zhang sighed awkwardly. During the stalemate, Ten San stretched his head over with puzzled words: "What are you talking about?"

Kiyo's nose was sore, she took off her apron and threw it on the bar: "I'm depressed, go out for a walk."

***

I feel depressed.

Since then, I have been bored until now. When I was in Xiaoshanghe, Luo Ren told her the five ancient punishments, one of which was called Mo, also known as Tympanze. The crime he committed was erected on his face, like a splashed shop, and was pointed at and poked by others throughout his life.

The old saying goes, everything that has passed has passed, but she feels that what has passed will never pass.

Before he knew it, he walked to the alley behind Luo Ren's residence.

The lights in all rooms on the second floor were on, and half of the wall was covered with ivy, surrounded by hollow carved wooden windows. Luo Ren was not seen, but he saw Pinting's figure busy passing by the window several times.

Thinking of her impatient "Brother Xiaodao", Mu Daye smiled unconsciously and stood for a while. She turned around and wanted to leave. She had just taken a step and suddenly shuddered and turned around in disbelief.

She understood why Lai Pinting walked around by the window.
