Later, the conductor came over with a dining car to sell midnight snacks. I bought two buckets of instant noodles and two cups of hot milk and asked her to eat with me. Shen Bing smiled and ate the instant noodles. I think her personality is good and doesn't make people feel depressed. She knows my life story very well, but I know nothing about her family background. While eating, I asked her about her parents.
Shen Bing was in a much better mood now, and she was not so sad when she talked about her parents. Her parents were both prostitutes, and Long Shaohui was still her father's subordinate at that time. I thought to myself, no wonder she was so reckless, and Long Shaohui could tolerate it. It turned out that he was thinking of the old friendship of the older generation.
Ten years ago, she was still in junior high school. She was originally a happy family of three. But that spring, the police station leaders were out of their minds and organized advanced workers to travel to Huangshan. Shen Bing didn't go because she had to go to school and it took too much time to go to Huangshan. Five days later, the bad news came that her parents fell off the mountain and their bodies were not found.
Speaking of the cause of her parents' death, it was a bit strange. She said that Long Shaohui also went there that time. Since entering the mountain, her parents have lost contact with everyone and no one knows where they went. Later, they came down from the mountain and left the scenic area. There were only a few people missing, except for the two of them. They waited outside the scenic area for a long time, but did not see the two people appear. It is said that before entering the mountain, a time was set to gather at the entrance of the scenic area. Shen Bing's parents are people with a strong sense of time and will not be late.
The leader of the team felt that something was wrong and contacted the police station in the scenic area to ask them to help find the people. After reporting the case, the police in the police station immediately told them that someone called the police last night and found two people falling from the mountain and screaming. The place was very dangerous and tourists were prohibited from entering. The people who found this situation were all adventure lovers who were walking through a canyon and vaguely saw this scene.
Shen Bing also took out a Huangshan tourist map from ten years ago and pointed to the place where my parents died. I saw that it was very close to the place where Tang Xiaohan and his friends died. I also took out the route map I drew with a pen according to Tang Xiaohan's description. When I compared the two maps, they were basically the same.
I thought to myself, her parents wouldn't have the same fate as Tang Xiaohan, killed by evil spirits ten years ago? But I thought this was unlikely, because there were hikers exploring the nearby canyon, and they all left the scenic area safely. They probably didn't encounter evil spirits, and they probably fell down the mountain during a nighttime exploration.
Shen Bing sighed and said that she had wanted to go to Huangshan for a long time. Since her parents' bodies were never found after their death, she had always wanted to go there to pay tribute to her parents' souls. Another idea was to find their bodies and bring them home.
I thought that this wish might be difficult to fulfill. The reason why the body could not be found was probably because the valley was too deep and people could not get down to the bottom. Otherwise, given the capabilities of their group of thugs at the time, how could they have allowed the body of their colleague to be left in a foreign land and exposed in the wilderness
Shen Bing talked about what happened after her parents died. She finished high school with the help of the police station's pension and her parents' friends. Long Shaohui took into consideration that she was a single girl and looked like a bad guy, so he asked her to apply for the police academy. This way she could learn some kung fu to protect herself, and with the advantage of her parents' relationship, she could smoothly get a job in the police station.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. A girl who lost her parents must have experienced ten times more pain and hardship than other children of the same age in the past ten years. Without the love of her parents, she would easily become autistic. However, ten years later, she is a cheerful and open-minded girl. There is no trace of the shadow of an orphan in her. What I see is a kind of strength. At this moment, I swear that I will protect her well in the future and let her live a safe and happy life.
