Xiaohan was unwilling to go back with her husband like this, but there was no way to escape from the toilet, so she squatted down and relieved herself.
The only option left was to go out into the streets to find a chance to escape. After relieving himself, he stood up, tightened his belt, and walked out.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of high heels clicking on the ground. A female nurse walked into the restroom from outside. She was wearing a white coat, a nurse's cap, and a large mask, making it difficult to see her facial features clearly.
Seeing this, Xiaohan suddenly had an idea. She stopped in her tracks and knelt down in front of the nurse.
The nurse asked in surprise, "Young lady, what's wrong? Why are you kneeling down?"
She said, "Sister, I'm a girl who was trafficked into the mountains. My husband is waiting for me outside. I really don't want to go home with him. Please give me your white coat, okay? I can escape by wearing your white coat."
This nurse was really nice. Without asking a single question, she first helped Xiaohan tie her hair up on top of her head, took off her own hat and put it on her head, then took off her white coat and helped her put it on. At this point, hygiene didn't matter; she took off her own big mask and put it on Xiaohan's mouth.
Finally, she looked at Xiaohan's shoes again, took off her own, and said, "Our feet are probably about the same size. Quickly put on my shoes, or your man will hardly recognize you when we go out."
Xiaohan said thank you with tears in her eyes and exchanged shoes with the nurse.
Xiaohan and the nurse must be wearing the same shoe size; her high heels fit her perfectly.
After changing into her white coat and shoes, Xiaohan knelt down before the nurse and tearfully said thank you.
The nurse quickly pulled her up from the ground, took out twenty yuan from her pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Take this money and run away quickly."
Xiaohan took the money, said thank you, and turned to walk out of the restroom.
Xiaohan walked out of the women's restroom, and her husband stood at the door staring at her.
She was wearing a large mask and high heels, so her husband wouldn't recognize her at all, nor would he associate her with his wife.
The main reason Xiaohan successfully passed the test was that he didn't expect his wife to come out of the bathroom in disguise.
He saw a nurse in high heels come out of the restroom but didn't look closely. Xiaohan walked past her husband without any trouble.
As Xiaohan walked to the hospital gate, she felt like a bird released from its cage, unable to stay there for even a moment longer, and ran off into the street.
Just like what my neighbor said a year ago, in the city you can run away as long as you're out of a man's sight. That's absolutely true. It's not easy to find a woman in such a big city.
Half an hour later, Xiaohan ran to the entrance of the city's long-distance bus station. She took off her white coat, hat, and mask, and threw them into the trash can next to her.
Just then, I saw a bus leaving the station. I didn't even look at the license plate to see where it was headed. It didn't matter where it was going; as long as I left the city temporarily, I would be safe.
Logically, she should have gone to the police station to report the case. No matter how bad her father was, he was still her father, and she really didn't want to see him go to jail. In the end, Xiaohan didn't have the courage to report the case and chose to run away.
Xiaohan has her father's blood in her veins, and she really doesn't want to do that.
The ticket seller asked, "Young lady, where are you going? Please buy a ticket."
Xiaohan asked, "Where is this train going?"
The ticket seller looked at her suspiciously after hearing this, and said, "You got on the bus without knowing where it's going?"
Xiaohan is in a situation where she can go anywhere as long as she leaves this city. She didn't ask any further questions, took out the money the nurse gave her, and bought a ticket to the final stop.
The ticket seller felt a little strange when she took the money from Xiaohan. She didn't know where the bus was going, but she bought a ticket for the final stop. She wondered if the girl had something wrong with her head. However, she didn't ask any further questions. After giving her change, she tore off a ticket and went to her seat.
When the bus arrived at its final stop that evening, Xiaohan got off. She didn't know where she was, nor did she want to find out. She just wanted some money to buy a ticket back to her hometown. What place she was really not important to her.
She was hungry after sitting in the car for several hours, and she had no money to buy food, so she bought two steamed buns and ate them as she walked.
Where to stay for the night was a problem. The nurse gave her twenty yuan, and after buying the train ticket, she only had a dozen yuan left. She really didn't dare to spend that money recklessly.
While eating her steamed bun, she asked for directions to the train station. She didn't dare beg for money on the street, because if she did, bad people would sell her again.
During the Spring Festival, train stations are crowded. You might be able to get some money at the train station, enough to cover your fare home.
Half an hour later, Xiaohan entered the waiting hall of the train station, where there was a huge flow of people.
There were many beggars at the train station, and she, being a young woman, couldn't bring herself to do it. Besides, it wasn't easy to ask for money in those days. Even if someone gave her a penny or two, it would only be a few cents. Asking for a dollar at once was out of the question. A laborer couldn't earn ten dollars a day, so who would be willing to give her a dollar at once?
Usually, no one gives a single penny, and even by midnight, you still haven't managed to collect a dollar.
She inquired about train tickets back to her hometown, which cost over thirty yuan. She wondered when she would ever have enough money for the trip home, and eventually gave up hope.
I'll have no choice but to wander here for now. After the New Year, I'll find a job in a restaurant to earn enough money for the journey home.
I'll have to spend the night in the waiting hall; it's safer here. I can't go anywhere else.
Suddenly a woman walked up to Xiaohan and said, "Girl, I've seen you begging for money here for a long time. Are you having any difficulties? If you are, I can help you."
Xiaohan said, "Auntie, could you give me some money to buy a train ticket? I want to go home."
The woman said, "I can help you with that, but the ticket window is closed early. Come home with me, and I'll bring you back to buy a ticket tomorrow, okay?"
Xiaohan, having been cheated before, sees every woman as a swindler. If she's willing to help, why does she have to go to your house?
Xiaohan said, "Auntie, my home is nearby. If you're willing to help me, please give me some money so I can buy a ticket myself tomorrow."
To put it another way, the woman refused to give her money, and Xiaohan refused to go with her. In the end, the woman walked out of the train station in disappointment.
After the woman left, Xiaohan became certain of her opinion: this woman was no good, just a liar. These days, there are plenty of liars, nothing else.
Xiaohan dared not leave the train station at night, because no one dared to do anything to her there.
It's winter now, and the first half of the night was alright, but the second half was so cold that she couldn't even sit up. She huddled in her chair and barely managed to get through the night until dawn.
Xiaohan had given up hope of getting money to buy a train ticket back to her hometown. She walked out of the train station in the morning and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
Today is the 26th of the lunar year, and she really doesn't know where she can find shelter or how she will get through this year. Once bitten, twice shy, she is afraid of encountering human traffickers again and being sold to them.
I ate two steamed buns for breakfast, and then wandered aimlessly around the streets for half a day.
She bought two more steamed buns for lunch, ate them, and drank some tap water. She didn't know when her life as a homeless person would end!
