Chapter 95 Jinjiang Debut

The old woman shed tears and gestured tremblingly, "In that room, they didn't allow me to sleep and insisted that I keep my eyes open. Once I fell asleep, someone would wake me up. I didn't sleep for a whole day and night. I was so sleepy that I kept crying. At the last moment, my consciousness was hazy, and I seemed to see my daughter coming to pick me up..."

"Just when I was about to give up, the group of people finally let me out and let me take a nap on the bed. Then they called me to get up and live broadcast. This time I learned my lesson and stayed still in front of the camera like the other elderly people. I finally spent the night safely."

"After living there for a while, I realized that this was the usual routine of the nursing home. They first used low prices to attract poor elderly people to stay, and then used them to make money by live-streaming late at night. These elderly people all looked haggard and had miserable life experiences. Netizens passing by the live-streaming room would always stop and give gifts. At the end of the night, the nursing home could make a lot of money."

"If anyone tries to resist, they will lock them up in a small dark room and deprive them of sleep. Elderly people who have been there once will numbly obey them and never dare to resist again."

Sister Yang translated these words into text, and Lame Brother was so angry that he was shaking: "These grandsons are too much, this is simply torture! These elderly people are in their seventies and eighties, and many of them are sick. How can their bodies withstand being tortured like this?"

The old woman nodded quickly, gesticulating with tears in her eyes, "That's right. Living here, people have reversed day and night schedules, and the food is poor. Some elderly people die quickly. I've lived there for more than a year, and five of my roommates have passed away one after another. They didn't die of natural causes, they were tortured to death by those people!"

Lame Brother was a little confused: "That's not right. These elderly people all died of unnatural causes. Wouldn't the police notice this nursing home?"

The old woman shook her head and said in sign language, "People in the nursing home never hit anyone, so the elderly who passed away didn't have any scars on their bodies. Plus, they were old, so it was normal for them to die, so no one would be suspicious."

Lame Brother raised his eyebrows: "Even if the police don't suspect anything, won't the children pursue the matter? The elderly were sent to a nursing home, and they died suddenly not long after living there. If I were their children, I would definitely overthrow this nursing home and let them know how powerful I am!"

Speaking of this, the old woman was so sad that she choked up. Lame brother quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot about your daughter. I understand. That nursing home only accepts elderly people without children. The elderly are easily neglected by this society. In addition, they have no children and no one to support them. That's why this nursing home dares to do whatever it wants. Damn it, these bastards!"

The old woman explained in sign language: "Not all elderly people don't have children. Many have unfilial children. They treat the elderly as a burden and throw them into nursing homes without paying any attention to them. They don't visit them for several years. Now that the elderly have died, they feel more relieved and of course they won't pursue anything."

Bai Mian added: "This nursing home will do a detailed background check before admitting someone to find out the elderly person's social relationships. Simply put, they only accept elderly people who have cut off all social relationships and are like isolated islands."

Lame Brother sighed, "Is that so? They really have these elderly people completely under their control. They are locked up in nursing homes and don't have many acquaintances in the outside world. They can only listen to them obediently. Wait, won't these elderly people call the police?"

The old woman waved her hands again and again: "We don't have the chance to touch the phones at all. After we went in, our phones were taken away. Although we use mobile phones to broadcast live every night, the assistants don't allow us to touch those phones. We can only watch. Once anyone tries to reach out to touch the phone, they will be locked in a small dark room. Don't even think about using live broadcast to ask for help. No one dares to try."

Lame Brother nodded: "It seems that these old people are scared and dare not make any resistance. Once they go in, they can only be locked up until death. It's really hopeless. Then how did you escape?"

The old woman signed with some fear, "I am luckier than others. I am mute, and the assistants probably think I can't do anything, so they are not very careful about me."

"Although I have been in the small dark room, I have never succumbed to them. I have been looking for an opportunity to escape. The first step to escape is to reserve enough physical strength. The food in the nursing home is unpalatable. Most people can't eat well and don't have much strength. But in order to escape, I always force myself to eat those unpalatable meals, so my physical strength has been pretty good in the past year."

"The second step is to avoid the assistants who are watching over us. The assistants are very strict in watching over the elderly. In order to make the live broadcast room look more miserable, they force us to broadcast live late at night, so we can only catch up on sleep during the day. Our range of activities is also very small. We can only walk around in the yard of the nursing home. In short, we are no different from prisoners in prison."

"During the year we lived there, we were like cows kept in a pen. We ate grass but produced milk. All the money I earned from late-night live broadcasts was taken away by these people!"

"But fortunately, as I said before, since I can't speak, these assistants can keep a loose eye on me."

"The third and most important step is to escape from the nursing home. The door is usually locked and there are two big wolfhounds guarding the door. With these two dogs, no one can escape."

"When I had lived there for a year and three months, perhaps God opened my eyes and my chance came - two big wolfhounds outside the door were poisoned to death."

"These two dogs always chase and bite passers-by. The residents in this area hate these two big wolf dogs. I don't know who fed the dogs poisoned ham and poisoned them to death. The owner of the nursing home wants to replace the two dogs, but he hasn't bought a suitable one yet. The door is temporarily empty. I know I must take this opportunity to get out."

"That night, they forced us to go live again. I sat on the chair and deliberately peed my pants. Don't think I'm disgusting. This was my only recourse."

"When the assistant next to me saw that I had wet my pants, he showed a disgusted expression. The room was full of unpleasant odors, and he couldn't just leave it alone, so he left the room and helped me get a pair of clean pants. The other assistants stayed far away from me, so I took this opportunity to run, ran out of the hall, and ran to the entrance of the nursing home in one breath."

"When I reached the gate, my assistants were already catching up with me. The door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened from the inside. I knew I had to seize this opportunity. If I was caught by them, I might not survive. So I used my hands and feet to climb over the wall of the nursing home. The people behind me were all dumbfounded. I was also shocked. I didn't expect that I would be so agile. Perhaps this is the potential that is stimulated when people are in desperate situations."

"After climbing over the wall, I jumped to the ground, stumbled to the road, stopped a passing car, and begged him to take me away. The driver was very good and let me get in the car even though he couldn't understand my sign language."

“As soon as the car started, the group of people could no longer catch up with me, and I finally escaped from that dark place.”

"The driver drove to the town and I got off. I asked for help everywhere in Qingshui Town, asking people to help me call the police. But I looked shabby, my clothes were tattered, and I had no phone or money. Many people thought I was a beggar and wanted to drive me away. I tried my best to use sign language, but no one could understand me."

"I walked all the way here, and just when I was about to despair, I saw your clinic. I felt from the bottom of my heart that the doctors were all good people, kind people, and might be able to help me, so I came to you. Fortunately, you let me in, otherwise, I would really be at my wits' end."

The old woman explained the whole story in sign language, and Sister Yang quickly translated it for her. Seeing the text in the group, everyone in the store felt terrified. In broad daylight, there was actually such a place that harbored evil.

"How can they treat the elderly like this? They are a bunch of beasts. Don't they have elderly people at home?" Lame Brother was interrupted by Bai Mian, who said calmly:

"There's no time to lament. Hurry up and call the police. Someone has escaped. I'm afraid they will move to another location immediately."

So the old lady told the detailed address of the nursing home, and Lame Brother immediately called the police. Sure enough, when the police arrived, Sunshine Nursing Home was moving. If they had arrived a step later, they would probably have slipped away.

The police investigated the scene and confirmed that what the old woman said was true. There was indeed abuse of the elderly and forced live streaming of the elderly. The police arrested the boss and a group of staff behind the Sunshine Nursing Home, rescued the imprisoned elderly people, and confiscated the boss's income from the live streaming and returned it all to the elderly.

After the arrest, the police needed the old lady to go to the police station to handle some relevant procedures. Sister Yang was worried, so she followed the old lady.

Looking at Sister Xiao Yang's back as she sat in the police car, Bai Mian suddenly realized that he had never understood her. During the days they had been together, she always sat alone behind the medicine furnace, immersed in her own world. She couldn't watch the show like other people did. The bustle in the store had nothing to do with her. No one knew what she was thinking. She was like an isolated island.

This is Sister Yang's dilemma, and it is also the dilemma of the vast majority of disabled people. People always habitually ignore them, and they have become accustomed to being ignored.

After the police car drove away, it was time for the store to open. Bai Mian calmed himself down, sat back behind the pulse diagnosis desk, and waited for the third customer to arrive.
