Chapter 106 No risk, no gain
Huang Xinran couldn't find Liang Wei, so he had to turn back.
Thinking that the things she had on her were too conspicuous and she couldn't take them back to the shop, she thought for a moment and looked up to see the post office not far ahead. She immediately had an idea and turned around and went into the grocery store next door.
When she came out, she had a long pile of bowls, plates, vases, and porcelain basins in her hands. She ran straight to the post office and said, "Comrade, I want to mail something to Qianjin Village, Tong'an Commune, Huaning County. Is that okay?"
“Is it porcelain?”
A young face popped out of the window and carefully examined the dishes in the bamboo basket. There were quite a lot of porcelain dishes in the bamboo basket, and it looked like they had all been bought.
"Yes! My younger sister is getting married soon, and I went to the city to buy these dowries. But she forgot that I am a woman and cannot take all these things with me. I can only send them by mail."
"Have you thought about it? Dishes and bowls are expensive and difficult to transport. The postage is not cheap."
"It's expensive, but I can't take it with me..."
Huang Xinran sighed and sighed, but finally had to pay the "expensive" postage. The bamboo basket weighed a total of 31 kilograms, and the postage cost 7.58 yuan.
It was not until she left the post office that Huang Xinran's troubled heart slowly calmed down.
Strictly speaking, she was guilty of being a thief.
In these days, precious old objects are not properly protected, or in other words, ordinary people simply do not realize that the porcelain they use in daily life is actually good stuff. Naturally, Huang Xinran drilled Confucius.
All you need to do is wipe the bowls clean, like the new bowls sold in grocery stores, wrap them in a layer of brown paper, stack them upside down in a bamboo basket, and who would be so idle as to check each bowl one by one to see if it’s new or old?
The only unusual things were the two vases and the two snuff bottles.
Even these two were wrapped in brown paper by her, and the snuff bottle was stuffed into the vase, filling the bamboo basket completely. It was truly seamless.
Huang Xinran felt relieved after solving the big problem by spending just a few dollars.
Wait until she returns to the commune, then pick it up by registered mail!
When she was about to go back to the shop, a figure suddenly passed by in front of her, and she couldn't help but stumble.
It's him!
Zhang Guanhua, Tang Yueyue's lackey!
It was he who kidnapped Maomao, ruined her life, and eventually sent her to jail...
What attracted her attention was not only Zhang Guanhua, but also the child in his arms as he hurriedly walked past!
The child seemed to be sleeping very soundly, with his arms hanging casually, and she couldn't help but pay attention to him.
Could he have been kidnapped?
This thought flashed through Huang Xinran's mind, and her heart sank. In the last life, Maomao was not the only child abducted by Zhang Guanhua!
According to what he and his accomplices confessed after being arrested by the police, at least hundreds of children were killed by this beast.
Thinking of her cute and well-behaved Maomao, Huang Xinran gritted her teeth in hatred. It was true that after searching for a long time, you finally get what you want! After Zhang Guanhua attacked her and knocked her down in the rose bushes, she asked Liang Wei about his whereabouts. Liang Wei kept it a secret from her at first, but later revealed that not long after he attacked her, Zhang Guanhua committed another minor offense and was expelled from the steel plant.
Later, Huang Xinran realized that it was not Zhang Guanhua who had committed a crime again, but a conspiracy set up by Liang Wei to successfully drive away such a scum as Zhang Guanhua.
Liang Wei avenged her, but she also lost the initiative. The shadow of Maomao being kidnapped was always hanging in her mind, making her live in Nan'an.
Now that she had found the other party's whereabouts, she no longer had time to look for Liang Wei and hurriedly chased after him.
Zhang Guanhua didn't seem to notice that someone was following him. He kept his head down and hurried along, holding the child. He walked quickly, and after crossing two long streets, he entered an alley.
The alley was dark, dirty and messy, with sewage flowing everywhere, but Huang Xinran felt it was very familiar.
Isn't this the alley where she lived temporarily after being taken in by Jiang Yurou in her previous life? The small house she lived in was deep in this alley. Further ahead was the moat that had been gradually abandoned.
Why does Zhang Guanhua live here?
Is it just a coincidence?
Huang Xinran slowly stopped. It wasn't that she stopped chasing him, but Zhang Guanhua, who was walking in front of her, suddenly turned around and saw her. Huang Xinran wanted to hide, but the winding alley was so small that she had nowhere to hide.
"It's you!~"
Zhang Guanhua narrowed his eyes, and an unusual smile appeared on his ordinary face.
Huang Xinran became alert and retorted, "My dear grandson, you still recognize your aunt. Not bad, not bad."
"Sigh, you have sharp teeth and a sharp tongue."
Zhang Guanhua suddenly moved and casually put the child in his arms to the side of the road.
Huang Xinran hadn't noticed it before, until the other party put her down. Then she realized that the girl in his arms had been sleeping soundly. Her eyes were tightly closed and her facial features looked very lively. Even when the two of them talked, they couldn't wake each other up.
She was startled.
This child...
Nothing will happen, right?
But soon, she no longer paid attention to the child. From behind her, there was a sound of light footsteps. She turned around subconsciously and saw two big men coming from behind her.
It was her fault for not wanting to stir up trouble, thinking she could get rid of all the trouble. Unexpectedly, she ended up in a dilemma.
Zhang Guanhua seemed not to notice her confusion at all. He pulled out a dagger and walked towards her with a devilish grin.
"You are really good at running, little girl!"
He thrust the dagger in his hand forward and pointed it at Huang Xinran's chest: "You are unlucky to have run into me today! I never thought that I could pick up such a beautiful item today. This trip is not in vain, not in vain!~"
"Sixth Brother, have you forgotten that we two brothers still have one copy!" The two people behind Huang Xinran were unhappy and spoke up immediately.
Zhang Guanhua waved his hand and said casually, "I know, I know. Hurry up, be quick, and don't invite outsiders."
Huang Xinran used all his self-control to refrain from fighting back.
Forget it, forget it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
She let the three men point daggers at her and tie her up while talking and laughing. The next moment, she felt a pain in the back of her head, her vision went black, and her mind became blurred for a short time.
Soon, she regained consciousness. She felt as if she was half-carried and half-lifted on someone's shoulders, and was being moved quickly. She could hear the sound of interlaced footsteps. She didn't dare to close her eyes, and continued to relax her muscles and pretend to be dead.
But soon, the man took her into a room, tied her to the bedpost, and left in a hurry.
Huang Xinran waited for more than ten minutes before slowly opening her eyes and found that it was very stuffy and dark. She tried to move her hands and feet, but they were tied so tightly that she couldn't move at all. She was also gagged, so she couldn't shout for help.
Of course, this level of binding was child's play for her.
She controlled the spiritual power in her body and transformed it into vines. She quickly untied the ropes and gained her freedom. Then she carefully looked around.
I found myself in a basement with no windows. The only exit was the door through which the man had just left.
She placed her hand on the door, and her spiritual power transformed into threads infinitely thinner than the rope, which quickly spread out in all directions. As the threads stretched, she could quickly see the surroundings.
She was indeed in the basement, and next to her, and next to the next, there were three or five women and children imprisoned. She counted carefully and found that there were about ten children.
I just don't know why the other party didn't lock her up with these people, but locked her up alone instead.
But at the moment, Huang Xinran had no time to worry about any questions. She quickly broke through the locked door and walked out. Not only that, she also put the door back in place tightly, and then walked towards the room where she "saw" that people were locked up.
