In these past few years, there were quite a few changes here. The biggest one was the expansion of a one-meter-wide window made entirely out of transparent glass outside the original building, and the goods inside were the sisters who had yet to receive customers. Many of them were completely naked, and the few that they occasionally wore were merely some provocative sex underwear.
When no one came, they just casually sat there, smoked a cigarette, and chatted.
If a man came over, he would immediately stand up and put on airs, using all kinds of methods to attract the man's attention.
The women in the window, I didn't see anything familiar, at least some faces I missed, and I didn't know if they were willing or forced.
I followed the memory and walked to the innermost room. The door was tightly shut, and in this soundless room, the voices of men and women could be heard. One after another, one after another, the voices of men and women rose and fell.
Facing such a voice, I didn't choose to leave, because I knew that the moment I choose to enter this place, I will have this kind of day sooner or later.
If it wasn't for big sister Su, maybe I would have died long ago. If it wasn't for big sister Su, maybe I would have become a plaything under the legs of a man long time ago.
I waited outside for more than ten minutes before their voices stopped and I heard the woman inside ask, Why did you come back here to pester me when you already have a wife?
If you weren't a whore, the man said, I'd still like to marry you. At your age, with a few more years, I'll make money and try to help you redeem yourself.
As soon as their conversation ended, the door opened and the man came out of the room. His shirt was still open and he glanced at the woman inside and said, 'I'm leaving, I'll be back in two days.'
When I saw the man leave, I took off my shoes and got on the brick bed. The red sister was still lying naked on the brick bed. She pulled out a towel and placed it on her private parts.
Hearing me enter, she turned her head to look at me. I was stunned for a moment before I sat up. I knew that she was reminiscing about me, just like Lu Wei. She looked at me in a familiar face but was unable to recall me.
I squatted down in front of her, but elder sister Hong unexpectedly gave me a slap. "Everyone has left, why did you return?!"
I cried, not because of pain, but because I knew that the slap from Sister Hong was a trace of warmth for me.
I put my arms around her neck and hugged her. I said, "Sister Hong, how have you been these past few years?"
Sister Hong was still clenching her fists and pounding on my back. "How can you be so forgetful and so shameless? Is this a place for humans?" Even if you lack money, you shouldn't be here. "
I gently caressed the back of elder sister Hong and comforted her, saying that I missed her and came back to see her. I would leave after staying with her for a few days, not to receive guests.
Hong Sis pushed my arms away and looked at me, asking if what I said was true.
I nodded to her, and I said yes.
I know that you don't believe me because people like Lu Wei would allow me to stay here to eat and drink for free if I don't sell myself.
I said I gave Lu Wei the money, not much more than 5000 yuan, and he allowed me to stay here for a few days, to accompany her for a few days.
The elder sister nodded in agreement and wiped her tears away happily. She took down a clean blanket from the hanging wooden board and took out a few apples from under the blanket.
"Come, eat, that man gave it to me secretly just now. You know, if Chen Si and the others saw it, they would definitely have taken it."
She wiped an apple on a piece of paper and handed it to me.
I know this apple is a heart of Red sister, did not refuse, but put a bite in the mouth, told her that is very sweet and delicious.
The elder sister was very happy to hear that. She took an apple and hid the rest and pulled me to a corner where no one else could see. The two of us ate secretly like thieves.
I asked Sister Hong. I felt like there were a lot of other people, I don't know if I don't remember them or if the people I knew were no longer working here.
She asked me if I still remembered the colorful phoenix.
I said I did.
Hong-jie told me, after all, the rainbow phoenix was infected with AIDS. During that time when she was found out, the people of Red Lane panicked, afraid that they would be spread indirectly. Later on, Cai Feng was thrown out of Red Lane by Chen Si and the others. A few days later, they heard that Cai Feng had committed suicide. It was because she could not bear the pain that she had suffered.
I asked Sister Hong, what about Sister Yayin?
She said that in the early years of her life, she had taken a child with her. In the early years, she had done all sorts of things, washing dishes and washing dishes and sweeping the streets, but as her son went to college, the expenses became more and more large. The money she spent on those things was simply not enough to pay for her son's tuition and living expenses.
So Sister Yayin came out to sell, but it was just in time for her son to reach the age of vanity and demand more and more each time. The Red Sister had also tried to persuade Yayin several times to stop spoiling her child, but in her heart, her son was the driving force behind her life and life.
However, the heavens were merciless to the point that they wouldn't even give these lowly people a chance to live. Only they understood the pain and awkwardness between mother and son at that moment when Sister Yanyin's son and his classmate went out for prostitution.
Her son could not accept that his mother was a prostitute, so he pointed to her nose and said that he would rather die than have a mother like her.
That same day, after Sister Yayin's son ran out, Sister Yayin hanged herself.
When Sister Hong said this, she also took out a yellowed photo. There was a picture of Sister Yayin and a twenty-something year old boy on the photo. She pointed at the boy beside her and said, "This is the son of Yayin, Yayin's son, Yayin was still holding this photo in her hand when she died."
I looked at the photo and asked her why there was such a cruel son in the world.
The Red Sister shook her head helplessly. Who asked us to be prostitutes? Once we enter this business, we can forget about ever raising our heads and being a human, especially in front of our closest family members.
Later on, Sister Hong told me about Little Jiao, saying that during the year she'd just arrived, no one here had ever competed in her business. Later on, Sister Hong told me about Jiao, that during the year she'd just arrived, no one had ever competed in her business here.
As for how Xiao Jiao was doing now, Sister Hong said she didn't know.
I asked her, "What are your plans? I heard that man say that he would save up for you to get out."
Sister Hong sneered. She took out a cigarette and lit it up. She took two puffs and blew out a puff of smoke. The helplessness and despair in her eyes made people's hearts ache even more.
"The promise of a man is never to be trusted. With the small amount of money he has every month, aside from his wife and children, he came here to take advantage of me. What kind of money does he save to redeem me? Do you think he'll pay me back for the money he used to hire me? "
"In that case, why did you lend it to him?"
"Even if you know it's a lie, even if you know it's a lie, which woman doesn't want to leave a little hope for herself?"
"Sister Hong, do you want to go out? Would you like to go out if you have the money to redeem yourself? "
I thought the Red Sister would nod, but she didn't. She shook her head at me and said definitely that I didn't want to.
I asked her why, and she said that she had no relatives outside, and didn't know how to live her life in the future. After she got out, she would only make these years of her stains magnified infinitely, despise by others, and despise by others, but not here, because the people here were all the same to her, so there was no need to look down on them. Even if she had many guests, it would still be lowly, even if she did it in the Nine Palaces, she would at most have the title of a high-class prostitute, but she was still a prostitute.
After Hong Sis finished smoking, she secretly threw away our apple cores and made a blanket for us. Just like before, I fell asleep amidst the voices that made many men and women intoxicated.
