Chapter 287 "The Melting Pot" (7)

With the dean's acquiescence, the nursing staff became bolder.

"Hey! It's too obvious!"

Someone hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? A bunch of deaf and mute people can't hear or speak." Another man was busy taking off his belt.

The first man was convinced.

A hoarse cry that no one could hear echoed in the corner.

So loud.

So harsh.

Finally one day Qin passed by the tall window.

His eyes widened in shock, and he took two steps back in shock, his face pale.

When Qin stepped back, she stepped on half of a brick and scraped against the ground, making an unpleasant sound.

He couldn't hear it.

But the people in the room heard it in the midst of their busy schedules.

The man trembled in fright: "Fuck, I was seen!"

"What?"

The other person glanced impatiently, and met Qin's eyes.

He sneered: "So what if you saw it? Do you expect a mute to call the police?"

This man even slapped the person below and "showed" it to his friends:

"Listen, this is the only kind of noise."

A shrill and desperate "Ahh" sound was heard.

The picture suddenly became blurry and then became clear again.

Through a window, the figure in the room was laughing happily, but there was no sound.

The camera stays on Qin's back.

This is his world.

There is no sound in this world.

The cruel thing really happened before his eyes, a mime.

The screen suddenly began to rotate.

Like Qin dizzy.

Like what boundaries are being broken.

When it returned to normal, it was Qin lying on the ground.

From the back, it seems that the boy is just playing with dirt. The camera is close-up, and you can see the pitted pencil tip and a small piece of paper in his palm.

Qin wrote very hard, and the round and blunt tip of the pen pierced the yellowed paper.

Help.

he wrote.

Help, help.

…

The hell-like situation seemed to have finally turned around.

The audience watched Qin trying to find a way to hand the note to the old man who happened to be passing by. They didn't know if they were relieved or felt excited again.

After several passes, the uncle understood what Qin wanted to say, but he couldn't go into the yard with a cane and hit someone. After thinking about it and flipping through the newspapers for a long time, he finally found a well-known lawyer who knew sign language and took the initiative. Made the call.

The lawyer's name is Zhan Changqing. He has also taken on cases related to deaf people and deaf-mute people before. He has a good reputation and good ability.

He listened to the uncle's retelling and quickly came to the town.

But it's still a step slow.

Qin saw the uncle's message and reluctantly understood the concept of "evidence", but all the children in the orphanage did not have mobile phones and could not record or record audio or video, or even take photos.

As a last resort, Qin stole a cell phone that a "volunteer" had dropped in the corner.

But unlike paper and pen, mobile phones can be well hidden. Qin couldn't hear the sound, so she didn't know that there was such a thing as a ringtone on a cell phone.

His stealing of the mobile phone was soon discovered by the director. In this orphanage, stealing and robbing were both serious crimes, so Qin was put in solitary confinement.

With no food to eat or water to drink, Qin spent a day and night in a daze.

When he came out of the small dark room, he happened to see Qing, who was wearing only a sports coat, limping towards him.

The coat was very big and belonged to Dean Zhang Mu.

Qing's legs and feet were naked, and a few traces of blood spread down his bruised thighs.

Qin is like being struck by lightning.

He shivered and leaned against the door, staring blankly as Qing pounced on him.

Where have you been?

Qing asked him.

I didn't find you. I'll ask the dean. The dean said that I needed to take tutoring first, so he told me.

Qing gestured "Say" again.

Qin suddenly hugged Qing and slowly knelt down.

Neither he nor Qing could hear Qin's hoarse cry.

…

The dean confiscated Qin's cell phone and found that he had recorded some content that must not be seen in the light.

As a result, Qin's life became difficult. It turned out that he was the most beautiful and clean boy in the orphanage, and his treatment was better. Zhang Mu probably thought that he could be sold at a good price.

They were put in solitary confinement at intervals and deprived of meals. Every time Qin was away, some children were forcibly taken to "tutoring".

It seemed like he was intentionally torturing Qin.

Qin's temper became more and more violent, and his resistance became more and more obvious, but he could not defeat several caregivers alone, not to mention that he had not eaten for a long time, so he had even less strength.

This seemed to be a sign that Xinhua Children's Welfare Home for Deaf-Mute Children had completely turned into a hell on earth.

Many things hidden in the darkness are now blatantly exposed to the sun.

The children huddled together and shivered, not knowing what to do.

When eating, you will be pinched by the chin and forced to eat vegetable soup; when you are walking on the street, you may be suddenly dragged into a certain room.

When Qing walked into the cubicle and sat on the toilet, she suddenly noticed a line of sight. She looked up and saw Dean Zhang Mu lying on the cubicle board, giving her a kind smile.

She felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from her head to the soles of her feet. She was trembling and unable to move. Only her eyes were still trembling.

Lawyer Zhan Changqing arrived late.

He was very smart and did not report his identity. He just sneaked into the orphanage as an enthusiastic "buyer".

Even though Qin lost weight due to hunger, her appearance was still outstanding. As soon as she met him, she could tell which one was "the most beautiful boy in the courtyard" according to the uncle.

Zhan Changqing smiled and said to Zhang Mu, "I like this kid, can I have a chat with him?"

Zhang Mu smiled: "Okay."

The orphanage never taught lip reading to these deaf and mute children. Qin looked at them warily, and followed Zhan Changqing into one of the rooms with her whole body tense.

Zhan Changqing started signing.

Zhan Changqing: I am a lawyer.

Qin's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a series of fluent sign language was typed extremely quickly.

Jean: Please help us.

Qin: Zhang Mu is a bad person, the caregiver is a bad person, everyone is a bad person.

Qin: They bully people and kill people. I want to sue them.

It was his uncle who taught him about "complaining".

Zhan Changqing: Are you going to take them to court? Do you have evidence?

Jean nodded slightly.

Jean: I also have a cell phone.

Zhan Changqing: Great, this evidence is particularly useful.

Zhan Changqing: But you can’t sue many people because the law doesn’t allow you to do so.

Jean: What? What to do?

Zhan Changqing: You can sue the dean. The dean is in charge of the nursing staff, and the dean is the biggest bad guy.

Qin's expression suddenly tightened, and her eyes, which were originally full of hope, showed a hint of fierceness.

Jean: Yes, you're right.

Qin: I want to sue Zhang Mu!

Zhan Changqing: Did that cell phone record Zhang Mu?

Qin: Yes, there is his face.

Zhan Changqing: Okay, you leave it to me, and I will give the video on my phone to the judge.

Jean: The phone is in a secret place.

Zhan Changqing: I understand, we won’t let Zhang Mu find out.

Qin nodded slightly.

Zhan Changqing came to the room where he usually slept with him on the pretext of letting Qin take him to visit the orphanage.

Qin carefully took out the mobile phone from the crack of the broken bed board.

His hand was cut open by a wooden thorn, and he wrinkled his face in pain.

Qin handed the phone to Zhan Changqing, who quickly and discreetly put it into the inner pocket of his suit jacket and patted it to indicate that he knew.

Seeing his movements, Qin relaxed, smiled from the bottom of her heart, and "said" "thank you" in sign language.

Zhan Changqing also responded to him in sign language: Don't worry, I'll leave it to the judge.

Qin nodded hopefully and repeated "thank you" many times in sign language.

He walked Zhan Changqing to the entrance of the orphanage and watched him walk out of the door that he was very eager to walk out one day.

Do not worry!

As if considering Qin's worries, Zhan Changqing turned around and gave a thumbs up after walking a few meters.

Qin rarely smiled again and extended her hand to give a big thumbs up.

The camera pans from a close-up of Qin to a close-up of Zhan Changqing.

The lawyer turned around with a smile on his face and turned a corner.

Zhang Mu, in a suit and leather shoes, is waiting there.

"How was it?" he asked.

Zhan Changqing patted the position of his mobile phone and showed the same smile as he showed it to Qin just now.

"Got it," he said.
