"I, I apologize. I was wrong. Can you please let go of my hand?" The girl begged in a low voice.
Qin Anning's mind was on the bearded man. His fierce and cruel appearance just now did scare a lot of people, but for some reason, she was not afraid at all.
And inexplicably, there is a sense of closeness.
But she had observed the man from head to toe, and except that he was about the same height as her father, there was nothing familiar about him.
She couldn't think of any other man of her age that she knew.
"I'll pay you money. Just tell me how much. I'll pay you, okay? Please let me go." The girl continued to beg for mercy while sobbing.
The girl's voice brought Qin An Ning back to his senses and also brought the shocked person back to his senses.
"Who wants your dirty money?" Qin An Ning let go of the girl, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and his disgust was too obvious.
“Didn’t your family teach you to apologize when you do something wrong?
That’s right, like mother, like child. I don’t care if you act arrogantly in other places, but it won’t work with me.
Apologize to my nephews and nieces immediately."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I wasn't, I was wrong." The girl finished speaking haltingly, with obvious fear in her eyes as she looked at Qin An Ning.
The girl's mother held her wrist with concern and asked her where it hurt.
Qin Anning ignored them and turned around to rub Xiaohua's head. "Did you hear that? She apologized to you."
"Yeah." Xiaohua nodded heavily, her eyes full of admiration. "Auntie is really amazing. I want to be as awesome as her in the future and protect my family."
"Then you have to study hard. Your aunt knows everything."
Xue Jing smiled and continued, offering the small table. "Ningning, have some porridge first."
As she spoke, Xue Jing had already taken out a lunch box with two peeled eggs in the millet porridge.
Qin Anning didn't have the habit of eating without washing up, "I'll go wash up first."
She went to the bearded man's side on purpose. When she passed by, she saw him lying on the upper bunk. She didn't know if he was really sleepy or what, but he had his eyes closed.
When he yelled those two sentences just now, he seemed to be annoyed, which frightened the people in the car, but she always felt that the man wanted to help her.
Qin An Ning suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, shook his head and left.
The bearded man quietly opened his eyes and glanced at Qin Anning's back, his lips slightly curved as he smiled silently.
The mother and daughter were probably really scared, so they hid in the upper bunk and didn't dare to make trouble. The journey went smoothly.
Because the train was delayed, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Hai City the next day.
This time, Lu Cheng was not there to help with the luggage. The three adults all had bags on their backs and had to hold the children's hands to prevent them from getting lost.
"Mom, sister-in-law, this is the terminal. There's no rush to get off. Let's wait a while and not squeeze with them."
Wang Qiufen and Xue Jing waited obediently in the box, and only left after everyone on both sides had left.
After getting off the bus and walking out of the station with the crowd, Qin Anning felt that someone was following her, but when she turned around, there was only a huge crowd.
There were too many people, and Qin An Ning didn't dare to be distracted. She held Xiaohua tightly and kept an eye on Wang Qiufen and Xue Jing from time to time to make sure they didn't get separated.
She originally planned to find a guesthouse to stay in and then check the availability of tickets to Suzhou. Unexpectedly, at the exit, she saw people in military uniforms holding signs to greet them.
The man was about twenty years old. He held the sign high, and the big words "Chunjiang County Xue Jing" on it were visible at a glance.
Qin Anning walked over with a few people and asked cautiously, "Comrade, are you going to pick up Xue Jing?"
"Yes, you are my sister-in-law, right? My leader asked me to come and pick you up." The little soldier smiled innocently, revealing a row of big white teeth.
I thought that this sister-in-law is so young and beautiful, Lu Ying is so lucky.
Qin An Ning didn't rush to deny his address, but continued to ask, "Which leader asked you to pick me up? How did you know we were going to Hai City today?"
"Our team leader ordered it. Oh, by the way, the team leader said that as long as he tells you that it was a man named Lu Cheng who called to tell you the time, you will know."
Hearing the young soldier say this, Qin Anning felt relieved. "Then let's go."
The young soldier took the package with tact and led them to the car next to them.
Qin An Ning signaled to Xue Jing and Wang Qiufen, asking them and the children to sit in the back while she sat in the passenger seat so that she could take quick action if anything went wrong.
It is better to be cautious when going out.
The moment the car started, Qin An Ning seemed to see the bearded figure again, but when he looked over, he still saw nothing.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lü Hai, sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiao Lü.
Don't worry, sister-in-law. Lu Ying is out of danger. He'll be fine as long as he's well cared for."
"Well, are you a soldier under Lu Yuan?" Qin An Ning started chatting with him.
“No, Captain Lu is from the first battalion, and his communications officer is taking care of him in the hospital.
I'm from the Second Battalion. Our battalion commander has a good relationship with the Land Battalion, so the regimental commander sent me here."
Qin Anning continued calmly asking, "Lu Yuan is at the military hospital in Gusu, right? How long will it take us to get there?"
"Sister-in-law, are you going directly to the hospital? Aren't you going to the army to settle down first?" Xiao Lu asked in surprise.
"No, we are all worried about Lu Yuan's condition. We want to go see him first, otherwise we will be worried."
The main reason is that Qin An Ning doesn't know where the troops are. Generally, the troops are stationed in remote areas. If this little Lu really is a person with ulterior motives, she doesn't know where he is driving the car.
She knew the general direction from Haishi to Gusu, and the Gusu Military Region Hospital was also in the city. If the car deviated from the direction, she could discover it in time.
"Oh, okay, then I'll take you to the hospital first. It will be there in just over an hour."
The time Xiao Lu mentioned was about the same as the distance. Judging from his performance, Qin Anning felt that there shouldn't be any big problem.
We chatted all the way until the car drove into the city, and I finally felt relieved.
At the entrance of the military hospital, a group of people got off the car. Xue Jing even forgot to take her luggage and asked, "Which ward is Lu Yuan in?"
Having been holding it in all the way, Xue Jing really couldn't hold it in any longer now that they had arrived.
Xiao Lu scratched his head, a little confused about the situation. Why was this woman more anxious than his sister-in-law?
"This is Captain Lu's lover. Excuse me, we have elderly people and children here, so we're a little wary. Could you please lead the way?"
After Qin An Ning explained, Xiao Lu finally understood that the other party had never really believed him.
Xiao Lu was a little depressed. Does he look so unreliable?
But he also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, so he carried the package and led the way, "I'll take you there."
