Chapter 279 A defensive look
Fang Jianyi was about to get off the car, but when Lin Xia said no, he sat back down. He raised his hand to glance at the time, thinking that if he really couldn't get off, he would just drive faster on the way.
"Dad is out!" An An pointed and then shouted, "Grandma!"
Lu Yuxiu and Wang Ma supported Grandma Lu on both sides as they walked out of the door. Grandma Lu's wrinkled eyes were red, but there was a slight curve at the corners of her mouth.
Grandma Lu stopped at the gate. Lu Yuxiu said something to her and then turned to the car.
Fang Jianyi saw Lu Yuxiu got in the car. It was getting late, so he hurriedly said hello to Grandma Lu, "Grandma, we're leaving!"
"Grandma, I will miss you!" An An shouted with his head pressed against the car window, waving his little hands.
After the car started moving for a while, I could still see Grandma Lu nodding and waving, but after we left the yard, I could no longer see anything.
I feel excited when I come back, and heavy and reluctant when I leave.
The train couldn't go much faster on a snowy day. When we arrived at the station, the time was just right. After saying goodbye to Fang Jianyi, not long after I got on the train, the train started whistling and getting ready to start.
When the train started moving, the family walked towards the carriage. The aisle on the train was narrow, so Lin Xia walked in front holding the ticket, An An was in the middle holding her younger brother and sister, and Lu Yuxiu walked at the back holding the luggage.
Fortunately, most people had found a seat by then, so it wasn't so crowded.
Standing at the door of carriage No. 12, Lin Xia checked the ticket several times and only walked in after confirming that there was no mistake.
"Comrade, you seem to have taken the wrong route." Lin Xia was afraid that she had made a mistake, so she looked at the bed number and ticket again before speaking to the man lying on the lower bunk.
The man turned over and faced inside as if he was asleep. When Lin Xia first entered the room, she saw him talking to someone else, but now he was obviously pretending to be dead.
Lin Xia picked up the lunch box in her bag and knocked it on the bed, making a "clang clang clang" sound.
The noise made everyone in the car complain. The man pretending to be dead on the bed sat up unhappily and stared at Lin Xia fiercely, "Why are you knocking?"
"This is my bed!" Lin Xia originally thought he had found the wrong bed, but now it seemed that this man had done it on purpose.
"What proof do you have?" The man raised his chin and looked Lin Xia up and down, as if because she was a woman, she should be easy to bully.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxiu heard some noise inside the carriage from behind, put his luggage at the door and walked over.
The people in the carriage were originally a little dissatisfied with the sound of Lin Xia knocking, but now they saw a man who had to bow his head slightly when entering the carriage, and everyone fell silent, staring at Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu with wide eyes.
"This guy is occupying our bed and won't give it up." Lin Xia said, pointing at the man lying in front of her like a big boss.
Lu Yuxiu stared at the man with sharp eyes. Seeing that he was stunned and had no intention of getting out of bed, he said coldly: "Comrade, you are lying on the wrong bed, right?"
As soon as the man saw Lu Yuxiu appear, he immediately sat up and prepared to get out of bed, bowing and nodding to apologize. He carried his luggage and had no time to put on his shoes, so he could only drag it and immediately left the car.
"Go in." After seeing the man leave, Lu Yuxiu turned around and carried the luggage into the carriage.
Lin Xia was glad that Lu Yuxiu was with her, otherwise she would have had no choice but to ask the flight attendant for help if she encountered this kind of situation, but it would have been a hassle to bring the child and the luggage with her.
The bed was obviously occupied by someone, as the man had just taken off his shoes before getting on. Lin Xia knew that this was not the time to pay attention to hygiene, but she still felt uncomfortable. She took out the cover she had changed from her cotton-padded jacket, placed it on the bed, and then sat down.
There was another ticket for the upper bunk, so Lin Xia asked the three little ones to take off their shoes and lie down and play.
Maybe because he shocked everyone when he first appeared, no one came up to talk to him afterwards, and Lin Xia was happy to be left alone.
Not long after taking a break, Lin Xia asked Lu Yuxiu to take care of the child. She went to the bathroom first while not many people were using it. After a long time, everyone who has experienced it once knows the smell.
When she came back, she saw a woman walking in front of her with a child in her arms. Seeing that the woman was quite old, Lin Xia didn't want to overtake her directly, so she just followed her footsteps.
The middle-aged woman looked to be in her forties or fifties. She was wearing a dark cotton jacket and coaxing her child as she walked.
A man was walking towards them. When he met the middle-aged woman, the road was too narrow, so they leaned sideways to each other. Lin Xia raised her eyes and saw the child in the woman's arms. The child had a cute little round face and she felt that the child looked familiar for some reason.
Lin Xia followed the woman step by step, trying to recall where she had seen this child before. After a long while, she couldn't remember and wanted to get closer to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, when she was about one meter away from the woman, the woman in front of her suddenly turned back with a defensive look on her face. Lin Xia looked at her in surprise, as if she was frightened by her action.
The middle-aged woman looked Lin Xia up and down. She looked at Lin Xia with a defensive look at first, but when she saw Lin Xia's confused expression and eyes, she let down her guard a little.
Her eyes rolled around as if she had some ideas, and she was about to say something to Lin Xia when the child in her arms suddenly whimpered. The woman's face changed slightly, and she turned around and hurriedly continued walking forward.
Seeing that she didn't notice anything unusual, Lin Xia didn't dare to show any abnormal expression, but in her heart she wanted to go back to the carriage as soon as possible to find help.
Just after the middle-aged woman turned around, Lin Xia saw the child's face very clearly. If she remembered correctly, it should be the little boy in the same carriage she met on the train before.
When Lin Xia thought of the middle-aged woman's defensive expression just now, she felt more and more that something was wrong. She hurriedly entered the carriage and approached Lu Yuxiu.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxiu saw that Lin Xia's expression was not right and immediately stood up and came over.
"That woman seems to be wrong. The child in her arms is the same child we were in the same train compartment with before. I suspect she is a human trafficker." Lin Xia whispered in Lu Yuxiu's ear. Seeing that the middle-aged woman was about to enter the next carriage, her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"I understand!" Lu Yuxiu followed with a serious face. Before leaving, he patted Lin Xia on the back and said, "Watch the child carefully. Don't be afraid."
Looking at Lu Yuxiu's back as he followed, Lin Xia's heart was still pounding. She hoped that she was just being suspicious and making a mistake. She glanced at the three little guys playing on the bed, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"You must go out and call your mother, and don't run around by yourselves!" Lin Xia couldn't help but remind the children again, regardless of whether Lele and Ningning could understand or not.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Xia pulled one of them, interrupting the three people who were having fun.
