Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Two Updates Combined into One (Revised)
Shen Moer looked around, suddenly bent down to look at the ground, muttering: "How could it be gone? What should I do? That was the dowry left by my grandmother, specially passed on to her descendants. How could I have lost it? It was there just now. Where did I lose it? What should I do? We are about to arrive at the station. What should I do!"
She looked absent-minded as she looked at every corner of the carriage. When passers-by heard about dowry and passing it on to future generations, they involuntarily slowed down their steps and looked around.
An aunt with a shrewd face walked up to Shen Moer and asked, "Girl, did you lose something? Tell me and I'll help you find it. I'm a very helpful person. When we go out, we should always help each other. It's slow for you to find it by yourself. Tell me, it will definitely be easier for me to help you find it than for you to do it alone."
Shen Moer bit her lip, looking a little hesitant, but seemed to be moved by this warm-hearted aunt. She was silent for a while, then whispered: "Aunt, I tell you, don't tell anyone else, it's a gold bracelet."
The smart lady gasped and said in shock: "What? No, how could you lose this precious thing?!"
Chen Moer said with a sad face: "The bracelet was given to me by my grandmother. It was a little big for me. It was originally tied with a red string, but the string may have broken over the years. I walked from the carriage over there to the toilet over here, and the bracelet disappeared."
She looked like she was trying to think: "It should be in the car. When I entered the restroom just now, I felt my hands were a little empty. I was not used to it. Maybe it slipped under a seat. I'll go to the other end of the car and look for it."
The smart lady grabbed Shen Moer and said, "No need. I'll go over there and you stay here. Let's look for it together. Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as I find it!"
Shen Moer blinked, hesitated again, and said: "Okay, Auntie, I believe you. You look like a kind and good person."
The shrewd aunt's eyes flashed: "That's right, I am a kind-hearted person."
She walked quickly to the other end of the carriage.
They spoke in low voices, but those who noticed had already pricked up their ears. When they heard something about "gold bracelet" and "missing", they immediately followed the smart aunt to the other end of the carriage.
Some people even tried to cover up their mistake by saying, "Girl, you must have lost something. Don't worry, we will help you find it. When we are out, we should help each other. That lady is not the only kindhearted one, we are too."
Shen Moer hesitated, but still nodded: “I believe it, uncle, you look like a good person.”
Others: “…”
No, this girl is too easy to fool.
Such a beautiful and innocent girl, yet her family members are willing to let her go out alone. If the bracelet is lost, it would be a small thing, but maybe the whole person will be lost.
There were two men in the crowd with their eyes flickering.
Many people followed and walked to the other end of the carriage, while some simply started looking from the middle. They all wanted to lie on the ground and carefully look at the soles of the passengers' feet.
Shen Moer noticed that two men walked to the old lady's seat. One man exchanged seats with the middle-aged woman and sat next to Zhang Jiaojiao. The other man said something to the middle-aged woman who stood up. The moment the middle-aged woman looked over, Shen Moer bent down and squatted.
These two men must be accomplices.
A girl with short hair and black-framed glasses came up to Shen Moer and whispered, "If they find it, they might hide it and not give it back to you. Do you want to go over and keep an eye on them? I'll help you find it here. Don't worry. I'm a student who just got admitted to college. I swear to the leader that I will definitely give it back to you if I find it. I'll give you the book as a guarantee."
She carefully took out a somewhat old book from her bag. The title of the book was "How the Steel Was Tempered".
Shen Moer laughed and whispered, "I believe you, but you are right. Even if we find these people, they may not return them to me. So could you please call a few flight attendants over and ask them to help me?"
The short-haired girl nodded quickly: "You are right, we should call the police, I will go right away!"
Having said that, she immediately stood up and ran to the dining car. She didn't know where to look for the conductor, but there must be a flight attendant in the dining car.
Shen Moer glanced at her watch. There were only two minutes left before the stop, and the conductor would definitely not be able to arrive before the stop.
The reason why she didn't rashly ask someone to help her call for help was because she was afraid that there might be accomplices of this gang nearby. Now that the accomplices have surfaced, she has to keep an eye on them. If she doesn't, it will be difficult to find them later.
The carriage in front was already in chaos. By this time, many people knew that someone had lost a gold bracelet, and even the passengers who were originally sitting were looking at the ground.
Shen Moer lowered her head and walked into the carriage while the chaos was going on. After walking a few steps, she was suddenly grabbed by someone. The woman lowered her voice and said, "Girl, I found it for you. Come with me and I will give it to you quietly. Otherwise, if someone hears it, they will come back and steal you."
Just then, the train gradually slowed down, a sharp whistle sounded, and the train arrived at the station.
Perhaps because they were busy looking for the gold bracelet, no one got out of the car for a while. Shen Moer glanced over and saw the old lady and the man helping Zhang Jiaojiao stand up.
She cut the middle-aged woman's tendons with her hand, and as soon as the other party loosened her grip, she quickly walked forward, shouting as she walked: "Grandma in the green cotton-padded jacket, you picked up the bracelet, how can you not return it to me? Don't leave, return it to me!"
When they heard that someone had found the bracelet, everyone in the carriage immediately looked over. Everyone was still immersed in finding the gold bracelet and no one had reacted to get off the car. The only three old ladies standing there stood out particularly.
The shrewd Aunt Xiang, who had been searching for a long time at the other end of the carriage, immediately rushed over and stopped the old lady: "No, you found the bracelet? Why didn't you say anything after you found it? We have been searching for it for a long time."
If she had found it, she probably wouldn't say anything, but someone else actually found it and wanted to keep it for herself without saying anything. The aunt was immediately very angry. It took her a lot of effort to find it. Isn't this moral corruption? She must criticize it!
The old lady was also confused. She had been in the underworld for so many years and had cheated many people, but this was the first time she was blackmailed. She was filled with righteous indignation: "When did I pick up the bracelet? I didn't. Who said I picked it up? Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"
"That aunt said so. She said she saw you pick it up with her own eyes." Shen Moer pointed at the middle-aged woman who was also confused by this unexpected development, "Besides, if you hadn't picked it up, why were you in such a hurry to get off the bus?"
The smart aunt said immediately: "That's right, if you didn't pick up the bracelet, why did you get off the car in such a hurry? You must have picked it up and didn't want to return it to the owner, so you wanted to run away quickly."
After all, she originally thought so, and the old lady must have thought so too, so it was not surprising at all!
"No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that the old lady found the bracelet!" The middle-aged woman finally reacted and said, "Sister, you can't say that. It's normal for people to get off the bus in a hurry. Oh, everyone, hurry up. If you don't get off the bus, it will be too late."
She said this and chased after Shen Moer, who turned around and slapped her in the face: "If it wasn't picked up by that old lady, then why did you lie to me?"
Middle-aged woman: “I didn’t…”
Shen Moer broke away from her, rushed over and grabbed the old lady: “That’s her who picked up my bracelet!”
Old lady: “I didn’t…”
Shen Moer slapped the old lady in the face again: "You picked up my bracelet and didn't return it, and you still want to cheat. As expected, the old man who doesn't die is a thief!"
Slap, slap, slap, a few more slaps.
Everyone else was stunned, especially the few who had said they would help find the bracelet. They all felt a slight pain in their faces for some unknown reason.
The man who was supporting Zhang Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore and raised his fist to hit someone, but the old lady pulled him back and said, "Forget it, let's get off the bus first."
Shen Moer was not polite at all. She slapped the man on the face three times: "You still want to hit me, how dare you!"
Others: “…”
shock!
This girl is too fierce!
The man couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed Zhang Jiaojiao towards the old lady and reached out to hit Shen Moer.
He felt that he just didn't react just now, otherwise how could a big and strong man like him be beaten by a woman?
He was hit on the face and was watched by everyone in the carriage. He really couldn't stand it at all.
But the man soon discovered that it was not easy to hit Shen Moli. This woman was very flexible and could always dodge just right. She could even always find opportunities to fight back. Not only did he fail to hit her, but he was slapped a few times by her instead.
After all, she was an old sparrow from Dongting Lake. The old lady saw that something was wrong and quickly spoke out to stop her: "Boss, forget it, let's not argue with this girl. We still have to get off the car, it will be too late later."
She winked at the middle-aged woman and another man not far away, and the middle-aged woman immediately came over to pull Shen Moer: "Girl, your things really weren't taken by them, you must have heard it wrong, come on, come on, auntie will accompany you to look somewhere else."
This person came to ask for a beating, and Shen Moer was completely unceremonious. Without saying a word, she slapped her three times.
When the other man saw this, he hurried over to help, and the scene became a situation where two men and one woman "besieged" Shen Moli.
Although Shen Moer started beating people without saying a word, which did scare people a little, and everyone felt that this female comrade was not easy to mess with, but how could the three of you "besiege" a female comrade?
Several people at the scene stepped forward to stop the fight: "You can't do this. Three people against one, and two of them are grown men. Isn't this bullying?"
The three people who were held back really had a hard time expressing their suffering.
It looked like there were three of them fighting one, but the problem was that they didn't hit each other at all. Instead, they were slapped by the other side from time to time. Moreover, the man sitting with the old lady wanted to leave, but couldn't. Whenever he wanted to retreat, Shen Moer would always block his retreat at the right time.
These people are so blind, so blind!
It's not them who are beating people, it's clearly them who are being beaten!
Their faces were so painful from being slapped, but these people still pulled them!
The three of them became more and more angry the more they thought about it. They didn't care about anything else and would hit anyone who pulled their weight.
"Hey, why are you hitting people? I came here to help and you hit me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"You dare to hit me? I don't think you know that the Horse King has three eyes!"
Well, the people who were trying to stop the fight also started fighting with them.
Some were beating others, some were being beaten, some were trying to stop the fight, and everyone was fighting each other... The scene was suddenly in chaos.
Just then, the flight attendant finally arrived.
The short-haired girl called the conductor, and a few flight attendants who heard about the fight came rushing over.
The police shouted from a distance: "Stop it, do you want to be punished?!"
The uncle in the hat was so imposing that the people trying to stop the fight let go and stepped back first. Shen Moer ran towards the police: "Comrade Public Security, they are in the same group..."
The faces of the old ladies sank, and the two men looked at each other, and each quietly took out a knife from their pocket. Before they could do anything, they heard Shen Moer’s voice: “…They picked up my gold bracelet!”
Damn, why does this woman breathe so heavily when she speaks?
There was a trace of struggle in the eyes of the two men, but in the end they decided to stay put and put the knife back.
The old lady quickly stood up and said, "Comrade police, we really didn't find anything. We found a gold bracelet while riding on a train. How can such a good thing happen in the world? We wanted to get off the train, but this girl kept dragging us and delayed us for a long time. She even beat us. Look at my face, my son's face, and the faces of these two kind-hearted people. We were all beaten to a pulp. But we won't bother with her anymore. We really want to get off the train. If we hadn't reached our stop, I would have really settled the score with her."
Shen Moer raised her hand: "Comrade police, I have evidence, I know where they hid the gold bracelet, I'll tell you."
She quickly walked to the leading policeman, pulled him aside and whispered something to him.
The policeman's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked back at the old lady and others, and glanced at Zhang Jiaojiao who was supported by the old lady without leaving a trace.
Then he decisively made several gestures to his colleagues. The eyes of the other flight attendants and the stewardess opposite flashed slightly. In just a moment, before the old ladies and others could react to what was happening, several policemen and stewards suddenly moved.
Several policemen rushed over and pinned the two men down in a few seconds. The two men tried to resist, but the policemen knocked the daggers out of their pockets and stepped on them as soon as the tips of the daggers appeared.
The flight attendants also quickly controlled the middle-aged woman and the old lady.
"Take them all away!"
Shen Moer went out to fetch water and didn't come back for a long time. At first, Shen Shaoyuan didn't feel worried. His daughter went to Guangzhou so many times and had rich experience in going out. Moreover, she was good at fighting and had a smart mind. Ordinary people really couldn't cheat her.
When Xiao Liangliang woke up and started looking for her mother, probably because she was hungry and couldn't find her mother, she dropped little pearls in grievance, and Shen Shaoyuan became a little anxious.
Zhou Pingan: "I'll go look for it."
He ran out and didn't find anyone at the water fetching place, and he looked around the nearby carriages but still couldn't find anyone. Just when he was confused about where to look again, he heard that a fight broke out in a carriage behind.
When Zhou Pingan went over, he saw the carriage in a mess, with several people shouting, "What should I do? I forgot to get off the train!"
He asked around and learned that someone had lost a gold bracelet, which was picked up by someone else, and then the police took the group of people away.
The man lamented that he forgot to get off the bus and missed his stop, while he excitedly described to Zhou Ping'an with gestures how the beautiful girl who lost the gold bracelet was "besieged" by three people and beat them into fools.
Zhou Pingan: “…”
Zhou Ping'an returned to the carriage empty-handed. Shen Shaoyuan fed the aggrieved little Liangliang with a bottle while listening to Zhou Ping'an dancing and retelling the heroic deeds of the girl with the gold bracelet. Shen Shaoyuan listened for a while, thinking about it, and said calmly: "That should be Mo'er. Those people are probably some criminals. She should be back after the police finish taking the statement."
Sure enough, Shen Moer came back before the train arrived at the Capital Station.
She cooperated with the conductor in taking a statement and explained the whole story. Naturally, she didn't need to worry about the rest of the matter and left it to the police.
After so many years in this world, Shen Moer has great faith in the ability of the public security comrades, and believes that the public security comrades will definitely investigate those people thoroughly.
When they heard that Zhang Jiaojiao was almost abducted by human traffickers, Zhou Pingan, Liu Yinshuang, and Xu Chengyi all opened their mouths in surprise.
Xu Chengyi was speechless: "No, isn't her brain filled with paste?!"
People said that her son was a professor at Capital University, and happened to be in her department. How could she believe such nonsense? !
Xu Chengyi even had some doubts about how Zhang Jiaojiao could get into Capital University with her intelligence.
Oh, she must have benefited from having a mother who is the academic dean of the best high school in the provincial capital.
Xu Chengyi was very reluctant, but he still climbed down from the upper bunk, picked up his luggage and Zhang Jiaojiao's luggage, said goodbye to Shen Moer and the others, and went to find Zhang Jiaojiao.
It is said that the police asked her to stay in the staff compartment first. If Xu Chengyi did not go over, a flight attendant would come to pick up Zhang Jiaojiao's luggage in a while.
Zhang Jiaojiao has been drugged and needs to rest. Of course, the police also need to contact her family and hand her over to someone they can trust as much as possible.
After all, Xu Chengyi knew her, so he didn't say he would ignore her at this time.
It was Zhou Ping'an's first time to travel far away, and he couldn't help but feel lucky: "Luckily I'm a man. Men won't be targeted by human traffickers."
Liu Yinshuang looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily true. Some places also buy men to do hard labor, dig in illegal coal mines, or cut open their abdomens to remove their kidneys. That's also true."
Zhou Pingan immediately hugged his weak self tightly: "It's impossible, Sister Yinshuang, don't scare me. The coal mines are all owned by the state, how could there be illegal coal mines? And why would they cut open the abdomen and remove the kidneys? Is this some kind of perverted killing method?"
Liu Yinshuang was choked by the question, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Anyway, just remember that men can also be deceived and cheated, so don't take it lightly!"
Zhou Pingan: "Oh."
This world outside is so scary!
Chen Moer held her daughter, who still had a small pearl hanging on her eyelashes, and looked at Liu Yinshuang thoughtfully.
It seems that the future is not all good.
In the future, will there be illegal coal mines that recruit illegal workers, and will there be perverts who cut out people's kidneys?
Zhou Ping'an asked Shen Mo'er curiously: "Sister Mo'er, I heard that you were outnumbered by three people and were beaten into a pig's head by those human traffickers?!"
Shen Moer raised her eyes and said, "I don't know how many immoral things these people have done. It's easy to beat them up."
Zhou Ping'an silently gave a thumbs up.
Not long after, the train slowed down again, a long whistle sounded, and the Capital Station arrived.
Shen Moer bought a map at the station, asked the staff for directions, and then they walked outside with their luggage.
"Fortunately, we all sent our luggage by mail, otherwise it would be really difficult to carry all the luggage." Liu Yinshuang sighed.
Shen Moer's eyes flickered, but she didn't respond. She smiled and pointed to a tricycle taxi not far away and asked, "Is this the one the staff just mentioned? This one is a bit small. We have to split into two to fit in."
It is inconvenient for them to take the bus with their children, especially the route from the train station to Capital University. According to the staff, it is so crowded that you can't even touch the ground with your feet. It's okay for adults, but they are really worried that a child as young as Xiao Liangliang will be hurt by the squeezing.
Although taxis are a bit more expensive, at least they are comfortable to ride in.
In fact, taxi companies also have four-wheeled cars for rent, but you need to call the taxi company to make an appointment before taking a taxi. The procedure is very complicated, and of course the price is more expensive.
This type of three-wheeled taxi is a little more affordable. Taxi companies have deployed a number of them near train stations specifically to serve passengers. However, not many people are willing to spend money to ride on them.
A few people rented two cars and asked someone to take them directly to the guesthouse near Capital University.
With the letter of introduction, I checked in quickly and requested two double rooms.
When I was checking in, the waiter was a little curious: "It's still early before school starts. Why are you here so early?"
Shen Moer smiled and said, "It was not easy to get into college, and everyone wants to come here early to adapt to the environment. We also met several classmates who came early on the train. I guess there will be students coming to live here in the next few days."
After a pause, she patted her daughter in her arms and said, "Besides, I have a family to support, so I must come here earlier to settle down."
The waiter glanced at the child in her arms and said, "That's true."
After going upstairs and putting away the luggage, Liu Yinshuang collapsed directly on the bed: "I need to lie down for a while. Although I can lie down on the train, the bed is too uncomfortable. My waist and back hurt."
"It's okay, you take a rest first, I'll call you when we go to eat."
Shen Moer fed the child, held the sleeping little kid and brought him to Shen Shaoyuan, then went downstairs again and looked for the same waiter.
"You want to buy a house near here?"
Shen Moer nodded: "My father is coming to help me take care of the children, so I must find a place to live outside. I originally wanted to rent one, but my father wanted to buy one. He sold his job in his hometown, and there is still some savings at home. I thought that if we get together, maybe we can buy a house directly."
The waiter had a good impression of Shen Moli, and thought that it was quite difficult for a lesbian with such a young child to be admitted to Capital University, so he helped her analyze the situation carefully.
"If you had come to the capital a few years ago and wanted to buy a house, it would not have been easy. Everyone was living in a very tight spot and few people were willing to sell their houses. But in the past two years, many people have been rehabilitated, and quite a few are selling their houses. You can ask the comrades in the neighborhood committee. If you are from Capital University and have real difficulties, the comrades in the neighborhood committee will definitely help you. Also, you can ask around the teachers' dormitory at Capital University. I heard that an old professor sold his house and returned to his hometown a while ago. Hey, I heard that although he was rehabilitated, he didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore. He's old, so he simply chose to return to his hometown."
The waiter sighed a few times, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll ask for you when I get off work. My area is not far from here. I'll ask if anyone wants to sell it."
Shen Moer smiled and said, “Thank you so much.”
She took out a handkerchief from her bag and said, "I used to work at the Southern Province Embroidery Factory. This is a machine-embroidered handkerchief produced by our factory. It is very popular with foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair. I give it to you as a thank you for your help."
The waiter saw the delicate and elegant pattern on the handkerchief, and heard that it was something that foreign merchants liked at the Canton Fair. He immediately fell in love with it and said, "You are too polite, comrade. Don't worry, my aunt is in the neighborhood committee. I will ask her to find out for you."
Shen Moer smiled and said, “Then I won’t be polite to you anymore. I’ll wait for your good news.”
