Tongtong looked at the uncle who was holding him. He didn't know Xie Dong well, but he did know who he was. He remembered that he was taken away by the man who showed up a lot recently. He didn't like that man. That man yelled at him and threw him to the ground, threatening to beat him once he cried.
At last, the man locked him up in a small and dark room. He was so afraid, but he could only cry with a very low voice. His limbs were tied up and his mouth was taped, so he couldn't cry out loud.
When he was about to fall asleep, the door was suddenly opened. Then, he saw another man come in and lift him from the ground.
"I'm taking you to your Mom. Don't be afraid," Xie Dong put an arm under Tongtong's butt and held the boy before his chest. Tongtong put an arm around Xie Dong's neck and wiped his tears with the other hand. On hearing Xie Dong's words, he nodded quietly.
