Chapter 67 Abandonment

Qi Geer leaned against the rock wall to relieve the burden on his injured leg.His injured left ear was still ringing, and the dried blood was hanging on his chin, mixed with sweat into a sticky piece.He wanted to leave so much, he said to the cave entrance: "Mengsi, can you let the two of us come up first? This cave is too suffocating, and people will go crazy if they stay for a long time."

"No, you two big men, I can't beat you. Brother Qi, you come up by yourself, and I will send you out. This is the only choice."

Uncle Hai exploded as soon as he heard it: "Xu Mengsi, you ungrateful bastard, I'll find you a job and a house, but I'm not good enough for you? If you don't let me go, I'll kill you as a ghost!"

Xu Mengsi sighed softly: "You are very good to me. When we were young, we were like brothers and sisters. Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, you missed the old love and arranged me with Brother Qi. You have always taken good care of me. I will remember all these bottom of my heart."

Brother Qi rushed ahead of Uncle Hai and said, "Mengsi, your mother can be saved. The four of us here will take her up by relay."

"It's hopeless, she doesn't want to leave here."

Brother Qi didn't know how to persuade her, and was afraid that she would leave, so he had to think of a strategy while delaying the time: "I heard from Sangnan that many people died in your village due to Minamata disease, and the villagers were all relocated. Why did you come to the Bird Park?"

"We have no other place to go. Our parents either died of illness or became paralyzed. They are unable to take care of themselves, let alone take care of children. Most of us are sick, seriously like my younger brother, born mentally. There were problems, some were underdeveloped, some could not control their emotions, and their hands and feet were twisted. No one would adopt them, and the orphanage would not take them in. Mom took us to the city alone, and she found a job at the bird park, and then They hid us here secretly. We usually hide in the mines during the day, and only dare to go out at night when no one is around, and eat the bread and snacks thrown away by the guests to barely fill our stomachs."

"So many children, haven't they been discovered?"

"How could it be hidden?" Uncle Hai sneered at the side: "But my mother is a woman, and a woman can naturally gag a man's mouth. After a while, the administrators will know us, and we can walk in the garden during the day. It's okay. Mengsi and I are the oldest, and we can help with some work. Domi can draw and is the most likable. But no one treats us as employees. We are hungry and full, and we live well It’s not as good as the birds here. Some of us secretly caught birds to eat, and our mother found out and almost beat us to death. At that time, her spirit was not normal.”

Xu Mengsi: "Mom has a very violent temper and often beats people. I don't know if it's because of a strange disease or because she worked too hard. Once... once..."

Uncle Hai knew what she was going to say, and continued: "Among us, some of us are in good health, like me, Mengsi, and Duomi, and some of us are seriously ill. The environment in the cave is harsh, and they died soon. The corpses are placed in the cave. But no, everyone was scared, so my mother threw the dead body by the lake. Most birds are omnivorous. Even with beautiful feathers, their sharp beaks can tear the flesh. That night, we watched by the lake How a man was eaten by a bird. After that day, no one dared to walk in the park by himself, preferring to hide in the ground.

"Since then, we have wanted to escape. Even starving to death outside is better than being in this hell. The one who takes the lead is you, Xu Mengsi."

"It was me. I was the oldest and the tallest. We collected food here and there, hid bread and corn for the birds, memorized our way out, and made many self-righteous plans. While mother was asleep, we almost One—I forgot how many people there were, some could walk, some couldn't, and those who could crawl out. Once we got out, we all ran. It was unnecessary, no one stopped us, no one cared about us , At that time, we didn’t realize that we were unwanted, abandoned children, and it didn’t matter where we went.”

Uncle Hai: "We are a group of children who have been wandering outside for many days. We have no food or clothes. It is worse than in the park. Some people can't stand it and go back. The team broke up and no one can control each other. We are lucky. Best, I suggested going to the city government for help, but they were all resettled and taken in. Mengsi, you said there is no need to run away, but if we didn't run out, what would happen in the end?" Xu Mengsi didn't answer.Uncle Hai said eagerly: "We escaped with great difficulty! Now that we both have a stable life, why do we have to trap ourselves in this ghost hole?"

Brother Qi: "Mengsi, let's go out together."

Uncle Hai's tone was excited: "You let us go, we will go out together, and we will never come back."

"You can't go out," Xu Mengsi said coldly: "You live your own life, it's none of my business, but you want to tear down the park, no. I told you a long time ago that this movie shouldn't be made, and this matter shouldn't be done." Touch. You said you wanted to know what happened in the village, but it was all an excuse, and you came back to destroy our home."

"No, I wanted to know the truth at the beginning. My biological parents can't die in ignorance," Uncle Hai couldn't stop talking as soon as he said it, and the grievances in his heart poured out, "I have a bad headache every day. The doctor found out I searched and found no results, saying that I was under too much pressure and it was a psychological problem. As far as I know, I was a monster from birth! I dreamed of the underground every day, dreaming that we are all monsters, with a big head and hands and feet that can wrap around like snakes A few bends. I dreamed of this stinking corpse cave. The foreign devils put the specimens in their churches, and the mothers stole them back one by one, and hid them here like treasures." Uncle Hai suddenly remembered something, "Tong Yiru is the palm in the room. Was it you who put the specimen?"

"I let it go. Tong Yiru did a lot of tricks later, trying to hurt Brother Qi."

"Hmph! I didn't want to touch the park, but after seeing the severed hand...you are as crazy as mom!"

Xu Mengsi's voice was light and ethereal: "I know, so I don't plan to go out, and you don't want to go either. Mom is dying, so let's stay here with her."

Xiao Hu picked up another stone and threw it towards the lake, and fell from exhaustion within three meters.He looked up at the big dirty net in disgust. The sun was setting in the west, and there were only two or three hours before the dark sky.

Cheng Tianlu received a call from Tong Yiru, urging him to go to the airport.He said, "I won't leave for the time being, you can go to the airport by yourself." Tong Yiru said anxiously, "Why, what happened?" gone."

Xiao Hu: "It's up to you."

"Uncle Hai is from that village, a villager who was dismissed from Bozikou."

Xiao Hu nodded, he could guess this, "What does he have to do with the bird park?"

Cheng Tianlu was extremely clever, and after going through the clues, he probably thought of the cause and effect, "There is a loophole in the 'proper arrangement' you said, and many people have nowhere to go and were abandoned. People who were not arranged well, drifted here for a living , among them are many sick children. The children were taken in by someone in the park. They may have been abused or had a terrible life, so they ran out and never came back. One thing I don’t understand, Uncle Hai doesn’t remember Bozikou What happened, so I came back to find the reason by making a movie. Not only Uncle Hai, I asked the parties here, whether they refused to tell, or their memory was blurred, and someone brainwashed them?"

"Brainwashing?" Xiao Hu laughed sinisterly, "Thanks to you being a famous reporter, you can say such unscientific words as brainwashing. The human brain is so easy to control, and the world will have a lot less trouble!"

Cheng Tianlu sighed: "For you, it is really troublesome for people to be able to think. In order to cover up this matter, so much work has been done, and there are still many loopholes in the end. When I was interviewing the murder case in the mine, the murderer told me that he His village is gone. According to his household registration records, the village is in good condition, not even a single tree has changed. This is where he lived after being moved. Of course, there is no problem, but it is not his home, he I still remember Bozikou where many people died. The human brain is really not that easy to control. You can re-divide regions, change textbooks, household registration, bribe and intimidate the parties, and control news reports. You can create a fake village in reality, but It cannot completely dominate people's memories and thoughts. Now the buried history is coming back, under our noses, but we can't see anything clearly."

Xiao Hu sneered, "Don't lecture me! That's all you know?"

"I also know one more thing, that 'biggest gold mine' ended up being nothing, nothing. Why?" Cheng Tianlu stared at Xiao Hu, and took a step forward: "Back then, they ignored human life, for a false image , forcibly drove the villagers away, and the result? Where did all the underground treasures go?"

"Are you interrogating me?" Xiao Hu's face was livid.

"No, you and I were not born at that time, so what does it have to do with you? I beg you to tell me the truth," said "begging", but Cheng Tianlu's eyes were as cold as steel, and he was desperately restraining his anxiety and anger , lowered his voice and said: "Is the so-called largest gold mine fake? It took so much effort to cover it up, not because of Minamata disease, but because there is nothing underground at all." "Of course the gold mine is real! It’s not mining to wash gold, how could those people get sick, who can blame me for being greedy?!” Xiao Hu felt offended, and said angrily: “If there is no gold mine, why did the Belgians settle in the city? They just discovered something. That’s why we decided to develop with us for a long time.”

Cheng Tianlu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Xiao Hu's analysis.No matter where such a large abandoned city is placed, anyone seems to be betting on the gold mine.So the gold mine is real?Tianlu's thoughts became more and more chaotic, and fear for no reason came to his heart.He didn't know what he was afraid of, the unfinished gold mine project, the evacuated Belgian gold seekers, the businessman who made a fortune after returning to China, Sangnan...they connected into a skynet and slowly covered him.

The water of the lake gradually dropped, and a group of water birds gathered on the river bank, chasing the panicked fish.
