Chapter 11 — Nanny Counts Moles

“Which child?” He didn't say. I looked at the little girl with short hair. She leaned against the wall, her fingers clutching the hem of her shirt. There are also three moles behind her ear. Identical location. My back is cold. The minutes from three years ago recorded that the bracelets of two newborns were loose. But Phung Ngoc Cam said that that year, she mistakenly carried not one child, but two. If Tieu Man and this girl both have the same signs, then counting moles is not to identify a person. Which is to eliminate another person. I lowered my voice and asked her: "What's your name?" She looked at Tran Bach Xuyen, then looked at Dai Chi Minh. It didn't dare speak. Tieu Man suddenly poked his head out from behind me. "Her name is An An." I suddenly bowed my head. "Tieu Man, do you know her?" Tieu Man nodded, tears still hanging on her face. "Aunt Phung once showed me her photo." "Aunt Phung said if the little dots weren't right, I would turn into her." Anger in my chest flared up into my throat. Hearing this sentence, An An slowly bowed her head. Dai Chi Minh lost patience and picked up the blood needle. "Don't make it any longer." He pressed closer to me. Tham Nghien suddenly rushed forward and crashed into him. "Thanh Thanh, take the children and run!" Dai Chi Minh was pushed back half a step, the needle in his hand fell to the ground. Tran Bach Xuyen's face changed and he raised his hand to shake Tieu Man. I picked up Tieu Man and rushed towards the door. An An is still standing next to the wall. I gritted my teeth and turned around, holding her hand with one hand. Both children are very light. Light as two sheets of paper that could crumble at any moment. At the end of the hallway, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded. I thought it was the police. But the person who rushed forward was not the police. It's Phung Ngoc Cam. Her hair was messy, there was a scratch on her face, and she was clutching an old key in her hand. Seeing me leading An An, her eyes immediately changed. "Let her go." I covered the two children behind my back. Phung Ngoc Cam stared at An An, her voice trembling. "She can't follow you." I asked coldly: "Why?" She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, there was suddenly a loud noise downstairs. The main door of building number three was locked from the outside. Immediately after that, all the hallway lights went out. In the darkness, Tran Bach Xuyen's low voice rang out. "No one is allowed to leave." 12 The moment the lights went out, Tieu Man screamed. I immediately squatted down, holding both the baby and An An in my arms. In the dark, someone ran, someone bumped into the iron bed, making a shrill sound. I heard Tham Nghien groan softly, as if someone had kicked him down again. Phung Ngoc Cam shouted not far away: "Tran Bach Xuyen, you are crazy!" Tran Bach Xuyen did not answer. Building number three is too old. The windows were boarded up, and at the end of the hallway there was only a streak of gray-white light. I touched the edge of the wall and led the two children along the wall toward the emergency exit. An An suddenly grabbed my hand. "There's someone over there." Her voice was very small but very clear. I stopped. The next second, a figure emerged from behind the emergency exit door. In his hand he held a flashlight. The moment the light swept across our faces, my heart almost stopped beating. The person who came was a woman over fifty years old, wearing a normal gray coat, her hair tied back in a bun. Seeing me, she immediately raised her finger to her lips. "Don't speak." Phung Ngoc Cam rushed forward from the darkness. "Miss Luong!" I immediately understood. This is nurse Luong written on a note in the hospital room. Nurse Luong looked at the two children, her eyes immediately turned red. "They're all here." She opened a very narrow door next to the emergency exit. "Quickly go in." I didn't immediately move. "Whose side are you on?" Nurse Luong froze, then smiled bitterly. "I'm not on anyone's side." "I was just a night nurse three years ago." Phung Ngoc Cam hurriedly arrived.

stomped her foot. "Meng Qing, if she wanted to harm you, she wouldn't have mentioned you to the old file warehouse just now." I glanced at Phung Ngoc Cam. "You're not clean either." Her face turned pale. "I know." "So I don't ask you to believe me." At the other end of the hallway, Dai Chi Minh's voice rang out. "Where are you?" Nurse Luong lowered her voice. "Go in first, the children can't stand it any longer." I gritted my teeth, led Tieu Man and An An through the small door. Behind the door is an old fire inspection entrance. The space is very narrow, you can only bend forward. Nurse Luong took the lead with a flashlight. Phung Ngoc Cam left last, gently closing the door. Tieu Man hugged my neck tightly. I took An An, her hand was cold as ice. I asked nurse Luong: "What happened three years ago?" Her footsteps did not stop. "That year, the bracelets did not naturally fall off." "Someone intentionally removed the bracelets of the two newborn girls." My heart sank. "Who?" Nurse Luong was silent for two seconds. "Jiang Nghi's husband's family." "They favor boys over girls. Knowing that Giang Nghi had given birth to a girl, they made a fuss right in the night." "Then the power went out, the two children's bracelets disappeared." Phung Ngoc Cam behind him lowered his voice and said: "Giang Nghi is the younger sister." me.” I suddenly turned my head.
