Chapter 78 Zhoushan County
In her previous life, after seeing the true face of the Qin family, Su Nanzhi returned to Zhoushan County where she grew up before she was ten years old.
In addition to the old house that had been demolished into ruins that made her uneasy, she was also deeply impressed by the woman holding a sign at the entrance of the train station.
Although the woman's clothes were shabby, they were very clean, but her expression was numb. Only when someone passed by her, she seemed to come alive, rushing to the passers-by and repeating the words she had said countless times.
"Hello, have you seen the girl in the photo? Her name is Baili Yuanyuan. She was only 4 years old when she went missing. She is 25 years old now. She has a black mole on her shoulder..."
Without asking, you can tell just by passing by that she is a mother who lost her child.
Such scenes can be seen in almost every train station and bus station.
Maybe the sad woman left a deep impression on Su Nanzhi, or maybe it was because Su Nanzhi went to visit her parents’ graves every year and saw her every year.
This also made Su Nanzhi think of that sad and desperate woman instantly when she saw Yuanyuan.
At this moment, the surname Baili further confirmed her guess.
However, Su Nanzhi did not jump to conclusions. She tentatively said, "Auntie Dong, you must be careful when you are alone with your child. Human traffickers are rampant these days."
Du Hua also nodded seriously, "Yes, several families near my home lost their children some time ago."
Then he asked curiously, "Auntie Dong, aren't the children's parents worried about you taking them out alone?"
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not feel comfortable letting the elderly at home take the children on a long journey.
"I definitely won't let the child out of my sight. Human traffickers can't snatch the child in front of so many people, right?" Aunt Dong said nervously, but she still explained, "My eldest son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, and there's no one at home to take care of the child. I have no choice."
Du Hua had only heard about human traffickers, but didn't know how they stole children. After hearing what Aunt Dong said, although he felt something was wrong, he didn't say anything else.
Zheng Dali also spoke to comfort her, "Auntie Dong, don't worry too much. We are all in the same carriage, and we will help you keep an eye on Yuanyuan."
Du Hua nodded in agreement.
When Su Nanzhi heard Aunt Dong's answer, she became even more certain that the Baili Yuanyuan in front of her was the Baili Yuanyuan who had been abducted and sold at the station when she went to visit relatives with her grandmother in her previous life.
After confirming her guess, Su Nanzhi was no longer as relaxed as Du Hua and Zheng Dali.
She looked at Aunt Dong, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It's time to give Aunt Dong some anti-abduction guide shock.
Half an hour later.
“…So we should not let our guard down against human traffickers.”
Su Nanzhi was a little thirsty after talking, so she picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip, then she felt relieved.
After a brief silence, the carriage erupted into a loud roar of cursing.
"These human traffickers deserve to die. They even dare to pretend to be parents and deceive people."
"The human traffickers actually have children. This is truly a sin."
"Who would have thought that such a gentle and refined man wearing glasses could be a human trafficker?"
"Oh, after hearing what Comrade Su said, everyone I see now looks like a human trafficker."
Aunt Dong covered her chest with one hand, held Yuanyuan's hand tightly with the other, and looked at the three people in the box with vigilance.
The gentle and bespectacled Du Hua, and the vulnerable Zheng Dali who lost an arm...
And Su Nanzhi, a young girl who knows how to traffic people better than human traffickers, should not be underestimated.
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi felt a little guilty.
If you use too much force, won’t it scare the old man and make him suspicious?
She immediately spoke to comfort him, "But this is a sleeper car, which is safer than a hard seat car."
"If there are human traffickers, just yell for help."
"If the traffickers say Yuanyuan or you're a member of their family, you can just grab the onlookers who looks the most formidable and steal their things, making a big deal out of it."
"Of course the most important thing is not to drink the water or anything else that someone else gives you."
Having said that, Su Nanzhi glanced at the half-full box of fruit left on the small table, and very naturally picked up a piece from it and put it into her mouth.
Aunt Dong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but because of Su Nanzhi's anti-abduction knowledge popularization, the atmosphere in the carriage was no longer as harmonious as before. Although there was no tension, everyone was quiet and did not speak.
Su Nanzhi was lying on the upper bunk, not feeling uncomfortable at all because she had ruined the atmosphere in the box.
After all, compared to losing her child, it is more important to let Aunt Dong be vigilant against outsiders.
It was not until the evening that the quiet atmosphere in the compartment was interrupted by the sound of the conductor hawking in the corridor outside.
Although Su Nanzhi ate a lot at noon, she didn't know whether the tonic medicine prescribed by Grandpa Xu was effective.
She had been sleeping on the bed all afternoon, and when she heard the hawking, she got out of bed and bought one without hesitation.
A vegetarian lunch box on the train costs 80 cents, and one with meat costs 1 yuan, which is not cheap in that era.
Since she had already bought a box lunch, Su Nanzhi didn't plan to save the 20 cents, so she simply asked the conductor to get her a box lunch for 1 yuan.
Su Nanzhi gave the money to the conductor, took the lunch box and turned to go back to the carriage, and saw a dirty little boy staring at his lunch box.
She frowned, turned around and was about to continue walking, but the next second she felt something hugging her calf.
Reflexively, she was about to swing her legs, only to find that the person hugging her thighs was not something, but the little boy from before.
"I want to eat, give me some."
The little boy's eyes rolled around, and his dirty little hands were rubbing on Su Nanzhi's black pants. The little boy's hands were about to touch her white shirt.
Su Nanzhi no longer cared about anything else. She swung her calf and used her clever strength to throw the little boy aside.
The little boy immediately burst into loud crying, which immediately attracted the attention of the passengers who were either resting or eating in the aisle.
Noticing everyone's gazes, the little boy cried even louder.
"Wow, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat."
The little boy's sharp voice made the passengers frown unconsciously.
Seeing that the little boy was about to run up and try the same trick again, Su Nanzhi interrupted him loudly, "Whose child are you? Where are your parents?"
The little boy seemed not to hear and cried even louder.
A young girl with two pigtails sitting not far away glanced at the little boy, then looked at Su Nanzhi and said, "Lady, please give your brother some meat quickly."
