The village was quiet and silent at night.

Li Zhaodi, lying alone on the wooden bed in the attached room, burst into hot tears.

Every inch of her skin was burning, and the blood marks from her father’s beating were like branding.

It was engraved on her body and her heart.

First, she was deceived by a scumbag and got sick, and then she was insulted and beaten by her parents.

Everything she had saved for this family seemed so ridiculous and pathetic at this moment.

If it weren’t for Li Laosan’s plan to make some money from her, she could get married and receive a gift without telling her illness.

Li Zhaodi, who was infected with a disease and was considered unlucky, was afraid that she would be kicked out tonight.

She would not be allowed to go home in the future, and would be considered dead outside.

“Woof woof woof!”

Outside the window, there were occasional barking sounds, which made the night even more desolate.

Under the pale moonlight, Li Zhaodi stared at the dark roof with lifeless eyes.

At this moment, she…

There was only numbness and despair in her heart, and she didn’t know how to go in the future.

Tomorrow will be another painful beginning, but she has no strength to resist.

She can only bear the torture of fate alone in this endless darkness.

Just when she was desperate and wanted to do something stupid to get rid of this pain.

Suddenly!

Li Zhaodi’s mobile phone rang.

She took out the mobile phone from her pocket with trembling hands.

This Mi 6 has been with her for five years. It is the first mobile phone she bought with her salary after she was forced to drop out of school and work.

Li Zhaodi used it very carefully, covering it with a phone case and tempered glass from beginning to end, without even a scratch.

But just now, when her father Li Laosan whipped her with a belt.

He hit the screen of the phone in her pocket with dense spider web cracks.

Fortunately, the touch function of the screen is still intact.

The caller was a girl from another province whom Li Zhaodi met when she was collecting medicine at the AIDS community.

The other party’s name was Fan Nana, and like herself, she was a miserable person who was deceived by a scumbag and contracted AIDS.

Although she didn’t know why Fan Nana called at 12 o’clock in the middle of the night, Li Zhaodi still suppressed her grief and pressed the answer button.

“Zhaodi, have you seen the news?”

A girl’s voice full of excitement came out of the receiver immediately.

Hearing this, Li Zhaodi choked up and said, “News? What news?”

Hearing the obvious crying tone in Li Zhaodi’s voice, Fan Nana was slightly stunned, and seemed to understand something.

Compared to the torture of her own illness, the most terrible thing about AIDS is the discrimination from society and the pointing and talking behind the back by others.

Many HIV patients are often alienated and abandoned by relatives, friends, and even parents and relatives.

For example, some patients will be deliberately excluded from family gatherings.

When some patients seek comfort from their parents, they are often only scolded and avoided.

Since knowing that Fan Nana has AIDS, all relatives and friends see her again.

It’s as if they have seen the source of the plague, and they are afraid to avoid her, for fear that she will be infected with the disease.

Even her parents think that she got the disease because of her undisciplined private life and hooking up with men.

After losing face in front of relatives and friends and completely unable to raise her head.

Her parents were furious and cut off all ties with her.

Fan Nana had experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature in the past two years of contracting AIDS.

At this time, she had already guessed what Li Zhaodi was facing from her crying.

“Zhaodi, your… your parents know that you are sick, right?”

“Yes, they saw the medicine hidden in the suitcase.”

“Then… are you okay?”

Looking at the bleeding scars on her fair skin.

Li Zhaodi secretly wiped away her tears and did not answer directly, but changed the subject: “Nana, what news did you just talk about?”

Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Fan Nana stopped pestering about this topic and immediately changed the subject and said:

“Zhaodi, I want to tell you a good news, great news!”

Hearing the excitement in Fan Nana’s tone, Xu Zhaodi blurted out subconsciously:

“Great news? Has a special medicine for AIDS been developed?!”

Since contracting AIDS, Xu Zhaodi has also met many people through the Internet

‘AIDS friends’.

In the WeChat communication group, everyone encourages, cheers and comforts each other every day.

The biggest hope left is to develop a special medicine for the treatment of AIDS as soon as possible.

Therefore, for any slight progress in the development of HIV drugs, even if there is only a little progress.

‘AIDS friends’ groups across the country will tell each other as soon as possible.

Therefore, in Xu Zhaodi’s opinion.

The good news that made Fan Nana call her in the middle of the night must be the development of a special medicine for AIDS.

“Yes, Zhaodi!”

“At 00:01 this morning, Oriental Pharmaceutical Company officially announced that it had developed an AIDS elimination instrument.”

“The experiment on mice has been successful, and clinical trials will be launched soon!”

Hearing Fan Nana say this series of good news, Xu Zhaodi was so excited that she almost fell off the bed.

“Nana, is this… is this true?”

“It must be true!”

“Among us AIDS fans, who would joke about such a thing?”

“Let’s not talk about it for now. I’ll go inform others. You’ll know after you look at the Weibo headlines.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhaodi opened the Weibo APP with trembling hands.

On the top of the hot search list, there was a line of fonts:

#Major breakthrough of Oriental Pharmaceutical Company: The experiment of AIDS net elimination instrument in mice was successful, and clinical trials are about to start#

When she read every word on this hot search carefully and repeatedly.

In addition to Li Zhaodi’s ecstasy, her heart was like a stormy ocean, turbulent and chaotic.

She couldn’t believe the news she saw. She repeatedly asked herself in her heart: “Is this true? Is there really a cure?”

Li Zhaodi was very afraid that this was just a beautiful dream. Once she woke up, she would fall into endless darkness again.

However, every word on the hot search was so clear and so real.

Li Zhaodi’s heart began to beat violently, as if it was about to burst out of her chest!

But then, fear surged into her heart again.

What if the clinical trial was unsuccessful?

What if this was just a short-lived hope that would eventually be shattered?

She didn’t dare to immerse herself completely in joy, fearing that she would suffer another heavy blow.

But once the flame of hope was ignited, it was difficult to extinguish!

Li Zhaodi couldn’t help but start to imagine her life after recovery.

She wanted to integrate into society again and no longer suffer from exclusion and disgust.

She wanted to do what she liked and pursue her lost dream.
