"There was no other way, the little boy's family had to find another boy."
The boy was only four or five years old and was mute. After running home in the afternoon, he kept pulling his family members to leave, but because he was too young, his family thought he was just being silly and locked him in the house.
Until the missing boy's family found him, he grabbed the adults and ran towards a dry toilet on the edge of the village.
When they arrived at the location, the little boy pointed at the latrine and cried his eyes out, giving the man an immediate bad feeling.
The man carried the little boy back to the village to call for help. Late at night, it took more than a dozen grown men, disgusted by the sight, to finally pull the drowned little boy out of the cesspool.
The man, suppressing his grief, asked the little boy who had led him the way how his son had fallen into the cesspool. The little boy made a pushing motion.
The man asked who did it, and the little boy led the man to the girl's house.
The man questioned the girl about why she murdered his son, but the girl denied it. The girl's mother even said that they were framing her, that he could prove his daughter had done something wrong just by moving his finger, since the girl was mute and could not speak.
The woman was cursing and demanding proof from the man.
The man had no choice but to call the police, but after investigating, they found no physical evidence other than the mute boy who was a witness.
Moreover, the little girl is a minor, so there's no way to hold her accountable...
"That's terrifying. How old was she back then?" Bi Qiaoan felt it was too gloomy, and she was genuinely frightened.
"I think she was just over six years old at the time. Everyone in the village knew that the little girl was the one who did it, but there was no evidence."
From then on, the village children were afraid to play with the little girl. It's said that some younger children were even frightened into tears after seeing the little girl's sinister gaze.
Bi Qiaoan remained silent after hearing this; it was simply the darkest state of humanity!
"So, the two falls into the water at Qingli Mountain really aren't such a big deal after all." When Bi Qiaoan said this, she didn't know what her mindset was. Was it sarcasm, relief, or something else? All Bi Qiaoan knew was that she felt very depressed.
Shen Yanming knew he couldn't let Bi Qiaoan know about these things. Although she had experienced an apocalypse, her living environment had always been very clean. He was afraid that she would have nightmares if she suddenly came into contact with something so dark.
The next day, Shen Yanming asked for leave for himself and Bi Qiaoan after getting up, because Bi Qiaoan looked really bad.
“Last night, I kept dreaming that I was being pushed off a cliff.” Bi Qiaoan still feels lingering fear whenever she recalls the scenes in her dream.
Helpless, Shen Yanming could only find a lot of funny variety shows for Bi Qiaoan to help her adjust her mood.
Bi Qiaoan stayed in bed all day, only fully energized in the evening, when she dragged Shen Yanming out for a walk.
The temperature dropped a bit these past two days, around 25 degrees Celsius during the day and only 17 or 18 degrees Celsius at night. Shen Yanming gave Bi Qiaoan a long-sleeved shirt to wear, and the two of them took a long walk around the neighborhood.
Bi Qiaoan saw many adorable children in the neighborhood. She watched them snuggle in their parents' arms, watched them lie among the flowers, plucking small blossoms and tucking them into their hair, watched them chase after cats and dogs with their short legs, laughing even though they couldn't catch them...
Bi Qiaoan felt better because not all children are in darkness. Look, these children's smiling faces are like little suns, warming her heart.
Shen Yanming sensed the change in Bi Qiaoan's emotions. He held her hand tightly and said softly, "Our child will definitely be well-behaved and adorable, beautiful and dashing. He will be clever and quick-witted, bold and meticulous, upright and honest, he will..."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled and pinched Shen Yanming's arm, "You make up stories as if they're true!"
Shen Yanming put his arm around Bi Qiaoan's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "As long as you're willing, I'm available anytime. You can have as much as you want, I'll satisfy you completely."
Bi Qiaoan felt a tingling sensation all over her body and blushed deeply. She buried her face in Shen Yanming's chest and said in a soft voice, "Let's wait a little longer. I'm not ready yet."
Shen Yanming was not disappointed. He stroked Bi Qiaoan's long hair and said, "Then please spend more time with me, Ms. Bi."
That night, Bi Qiaoan slept very soundly. She dreamed of a soft, adorable little dumpling hugging her legs, acting spoiled and calling for her mother...
The next day, Bi Qiaoan felt refreshed and full of energy after getting up. After having breakfast with Shen Yanming, the two went to work full of energy.
They had completed the door-to-door registration. The next step was to organize the paper forms and submit the electronic data. Because they had been extremely meticulous during the door-to-door registration, the final data compilation was effortless.
Bi Qiaoan worked in front of the computer all day and her back ached terribly.
Bi Qiaoan got up and stretched her neck and wrists. After she recovered, she went to the bathroom to wash the cup. Bi Qiaoan planned to come back and make some milk tea to drink something sweet and rest.
Upon entering the restroom, Bi Qiaoan noticed several notices posted on the wall, such as: Please conserve water, please do not defecate in the toilet, please pour the water you are about to throw away into the waste bin...
Bi Qiaoan hadn't been to the office for a long time. She didn't feel this way when she was in the office, but when she went into the restroom, she found that the office had changed quite a bit during this time.
Bi Qiaoan filled a glass with clean water, then moved the glass over the sewage bucket and cleaned it with her fingers.
The sewage bucket was already full of sewage, the black and yellow sewage looked disgusting. Bi Qiaoan pulled her body far away, only stretching her arm above the sewage bucket.
Following the instructions on the wall, Bi Qiaoan poured the water used to wash the cups into the wastewater bucket, and finally rinsed the cups with running water.
After returning to her office, Bi Qiaoan took out a packet of milk tea from her bag, tore open the packaging, poured it into a cup, and got up to get hot water.
After brewing, Bi Qiaoan sat down and took small sips from the cup.
Before she could even take a few sips, Bi Qiaoan heard Sister Xu, who was in charge of sanitation, shouting and cursing outside the office.
"What kind of despicable people are you? There are signs on the wall saying 'No pooping!' Are you illiterate or blind? How can you still poop in the toilet?"
Bi Qiaoan was startled by the sudden shouting, but Sister Xu hadn't finished cursing yet, "Don't you know there's a water shortage? Do you think that little stream can even wash your poop away? What an idiot, always causing trouble for me!"
After venting her anger in the lobby, Sister Xu took the bucket of sewage to the toilet to wash it.
She had never been so disgusted in all her years of work, but what could she do? She couldn't just quit, could she?
