Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 576 - 575 The Story’s Development
Xia Xiaoluo, after dinner, hurried to Zheng Min’s sister’s house.
"Zheng Min? She’s not ho, must have taken Binbin out to play," said Zheng Min’s sister.
"Oh, then I’ll look elsewhere." Xia Xiaoluo said with so disappointnt.
"Once you find her, tell them to co back for dinner. It’s getting late, they shouldn’t be wandering around outside," Zheng Min’s sister added.
"Okay."
Xia Xiaoluo responded and hurried towards Yu Minmin’s house.
Earlier in the afternoon, Zheng Min said she wanted to go to Yu Minmin’s house to see the cosmos flowers. Xia Xiaoluo thought she might still be there.
But when she arrived at Yu Minmin’s house, Zheng Min was nowhere to be found.
"I didn’t see her. I was at my uncle’s house this afternoon and just got back," said Yu Minmin, holding a rice bowl.
In front of her house are two neat flower beds, filled with blooming cosmos flowers, colorful and beautiful.
The only thing marring the view was Yu Minmin squatting in the middle of the flower bed with a blue-rimd big bowl, as if she was pooping.
"Then I’ll go look sowhere else."
"Why are you looking for her so late? Can’t you say it tomorrow at school? Or are you trying to get her howork to copy?"
"Am I copying her howork? My grades are way better than hers." Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoluo imdiately beca anxious.
"Alright, then why are you looking for her?" Yu Minmin, in a determined probing manner, asked.
"I agreed with her to go to the circus show tonight," Xia Xiaoluo helplessly confessed.
"I’ll go too," Yu Minmin imdiately exclaid with delight upon hearing this.
"Haven’t you already seen it?"
"Who said you can’t watch it a second ti?"
Yu Minmin quickly finished a few bites and then ran inside the house.
"Wait for , I’ll go with you."
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoluo sighed. She initially didn’t tell her fearing she’d want to tag along, but eventually couldn’t avoid it.
It’s not that Xia Xiaoluo had any issues with Yu Minmin, but because Yu Minmin is a chatterbox, never stopping even in her dreams.
Yu Minmin moved swiftly, seeing Xia Xiaoluo waiting at the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The circus starts at seven-thirty, it’s a bit early now."
"I know, let’s find Zheng Min first," Xia Xiaoluo said.
The two then searched all over the small town for the places Zheng Min might go, but didn’t find a trace of her.
Finally, as the ti approached, they abandoned the search and went directly to the circus.
anwhile, Zheng Min’s sister, waiting at ho and not seeing the two children, grew anxious and started searching for them with her husband.
The couple went from house to house asking if anyone had seen Zheng Min and Yan Bin.
But everyone said they hadn’t seen them, gradually, the two adults also began to panic...
Eventually, the disappearance of the two alard the entire town, everyone went out searching for them but found no trace, as if they had vanished into thin air.
During this period, the police also got involved in the investigation, but still found no clues.
There were simply too many vehicles coming and going from the town, coupled with the discovery that they had been missing for a long ti, which added difficulty to the police investigation.
In the end, this disappearance case beca a mystery, gradually forgotten over ti, leaving behind two broken families.
-----------------
"Binbin and I were taken by the people from the circus," Zheng Min said.
Shen Siyuan had suspected as much.
But what puzzled him was that the circus should have been a pri suspect for the police.
How did they evade the police investigation?
Curiously, he asked, "The police found nothing at all?"
Zheng Min shook her head and said, "Because when the circus moves to a new place, they don’t just pack up and leave together; soone always goes ahead to prepare the way."
Shen Siyuan understood upon hearing this. She and Yan Bin were taken by those advance people.
"Why did you go with him?" Taozi asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Min said nothing, but lowered her head, showing a guilty and uneasy expression.
Taozi glanced at Shen Siyuan, who shook his head, indicating she shouldn’t press further and quietly wait.
Sure enough, after about ten minutes of silence, Zheng Min started speaking again.
This ti her voice was quite different from before, slightly choking with sadness, but more than that, anger and self-bla.
"I hated him, always calling ’aunt, aunt,’ like a fly, or crying and making noise, it’s annoying to death, yet everyone just liked him, saying he was obedient. How is he obedient? Like a fly, fly..."
The more Zheng Min spoke, the angrier she beca, but tears couldn’t stop falling from her eyes.
"I didn’t want him to follow, I told him to go back, I cursed him and chased him away, he cried so sadly..."
As Zheng Min spoke, she tried to smile proudly but couldn’t, instead the scar on her face made her look exceptionally fierce.
"He didn’t follow anymore, he cried saying he’d go ho and tell his mom. He’s known for complaining to his mom, but I was not afraid of her. What could she do to ? She wouldn’t dare hit , if she dared, I’d fight her..."
"I went to a classmate’s house, the classmate was not ho, I picked a few flowers and went back..."
Zheng Min had long stopped moving, standing in place as she spoke, seeming a bit dazed, her spirit fluctuating, as if about to vanish at any mont.
"A car passed by , I heard his crying voice, a sound I’m all too familiar with, that annoying noise..."
"I didn’t recognize the car, nor did I know the driver, and they headed towards outside of town. Seeing this made happy, that annoying fly finally got taken away, hopefully never to return..."
Upon hearing this, Taozi beside her showed an angry expression, opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by Shen Siyuan’s gaze.
Then Zheng Min continued, "I didn’t know why at that ti, even though I hated him so much, I still chased after them. I don’t know why..."
"Two legs can’t catch up with four wheels, just when I was about to give up, they stopped..."
"Later I learned, they were worried I’d call for help, worried I’d call the police, so they decided to just take away too..."
"Afterwards, I ended up becoming a mber of the circus..." Zheng Min’s previously emotional mood started to turn cold.
Taozi couldn’t resist asking, "Never thought of escaping?"
"Escaping?"
Zheng Min grinned fiercely and turned to look at the lion trailing behind them.
"Do you know what it feels like to lock a teenage girl in with a lion?"
"Do you know what it’s like to lock a five-year-old child in with a lion?"
She threw two rhetorical questions, leaving Taozi silent.
Zheng Min eyed Taozi, seeing her reddened eyes, revealing an extrely vile smile.
"That man raped that night, I was only sixteen. If I didn’t obey, he’d feed Binbin to the lion..."
Shen Siyuan watched her, unable to see she was only twenty-four, looking instead like a woman in her thirties or forties, extrely aged.
