Chapter 95: Jinjiang First Release

The old woman shed tears and gestured tremblingly, "In that room, they didn't allow me to sleep. They 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. I held on until the last moment. I was dazed and I seemed to see my daughter coming to pick me up..."

"Just when I was about to give up, the group finally let me out and let me take a nap on the bed. Then they called me to get up and start live streaming. 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 trick 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 stories. 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. Once they have been there, the elderly will numbly obey them and will never dare to resist again."

Sister Yang translated these words into text, and Lame Brother was so angry that he trembled: "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 bear being tortured like this?"

The old woman nodded quickly and gestured with tears in her eyes: "That's right. Living here, people have their days and nights reversed, and the food is poor. Some elderly people die quickly. I have 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, but were tortured to death by that gang!"

Lame Brother was a little confused: "That's not right. These elderly people all died of unnatural causes. Wouldn't the police have noticed 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 did not have any scars on their bodies. In addition, they were already old, so it was normal for them to die, and no one would suspect anything."

Lame Brother raised his eyebrows: "Even if the police have no suspicion, won't the children pursue the matter? The elderly were sent to a nursing home, and they died not long after living there. If I were their children, I would definitely overthrow this nursing home and let them know how powerful we are!"

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 accepts elderly people without children. The elderly are easily neglected by this society. In addition, without children, there is no one to support them, so this nursing home dares to do whatever it wants. Damn it, this gang of bastards!"

The old lady explained using sign language: "Not all elderly people have no children. Many have unfilial children who treat them as a burden and throw them into nursing homes without paying any attention to them. They don't visit them for years. When the elderly die, they feel more relieved and of course they won't pursue anything."

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

Lame Brother sighed: "Is that so? They really have these old people completely under their control. They are locked up in nursing homes and have no acquaintances in the outside world. They can only listen to them obediently. Wait, won't these old people call the police?"

The old woman waved her hands repeatedly, "We didn't have the chance to touch the phones. After we went in, our phones were taken away. Although we would use our phones to live broadcast every night, the assistants didn't allow us to touch the phones. We could only watch. If anyone tried to reach out and touch the phone, they would be locked in a small dark room. Don't even think about using live broadcast to ask for help. No one dared to try."

Lame Brother nodded: "It seems that these old people are scared and dare not resist. Once they go in, they will be locked up until they die. It's really hopeless. Then how did you get out?"

The old woman said in sign language with some fear: "I am luckier than others. I am dumb, and those assistants probably think I can't do anything, so they are very lax in watching me."

"Although I have been in a small dark room, I have never succumbed to them in my heart. 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 bad. Most people can't eat well and don't have much strength. But in order to escape, I always force myself to eat those bad meals, so my physical strength has been 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 worse, 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 the 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 have said before, since I can't speak, these assistants are very lax in keeping an 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."

"After 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 wolfhounds. I don't know who fed the dogs poisoned ham, which poisoned the two dogs to death. The owner of the nursing home wanted to replace the two dogs, but he couldn't buy the right ones for the time being. The door was temporarily empty. I knew I had to 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 the only way I could do."

"When the assistant next to me saw me peeing in my pants, he showed a look of disgust. 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 away from me, so I took this opportunity to run, ran out of the hall, and ran to the door of the nursing home in one breath."

"When I got to 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. This may be 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."

"Once 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 out. I sought help everywhere in Qingshui Town and begged people to call the police for me. However, I looked poor and my clothes were shabby. I had no phone or money. Many people thought I was a beggar and wanted to chase 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 a dead end."

The old woman explained the whole story in sign language, and Miss Yang quickly translated it for her. Seeing the text in the group, several people in the store felt terrified. How could there be such a den of evil in broad daylight?

"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 be sentimental. Call the police immediately. Someone has escaped. They will probably move their position immediately."

So the old woman told him the detailed address of the nursing home, and Lame Brother immediately called the police. Sure enough, when the police arrived, the 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. 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 help with some related procedures. Miss Yang was worried, so she went with the old lady.

Looking at the back of Miss Yang sitting in the police car, Bai Mian suddenly realized that he had never understood her. During the days they were together, she always sat alone behind the medicine stove, immersed in her own world. She could not watch the show like other people. The hustle and 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 Miss Yang's dilemma, and it is also the dilemma of the vast majority of people with disabilities. People always habitually ignore them, and they are also accustomed to being ignored.

After the police car drove away, it was time for the store to close. Bai Mian calmed himself down, sat back behind the diagnosis table, and waited for the third client to arrive.
