When Lu Jiajie saw the locked door, he knew that the two had gone out. Recently, a large number of street thugs had been cleared out, and the public security in the city was now very good. Thinking that Xue Mao would accompany Lu Jiaxin whenever she went out, he was not worried.

Lu Jiajie was afraid of heat and sweated easily. After running outside for an afternoon, his clothes were already wet. There happened to be clothes here, so he drew some water and took a shower in the yard.

When he was changing his clothes, he found a new set of clothes on the bed. Thinking of what Lu Jiaxin had said before, he smiled as he picked up the clothes and prepared to change. However, he didn't expect that there was a piece of paper under the clothes. When he read the contents of the paper, his face changed drastically.

When Lu Jiaguang received his call, he asked in surprise, "What did you say? Xinxin went to the ancient capital. What did she do there?"

Lu Jiajie has recovered from his shock: "She left a message saying that she would go to the ancient capital to find the human trafficker, otherwise she would never be able to sleep well in her life."

Lu Jiaguang was angry and anxious, and asked: "Hurry up and ask the neighbors to see if he left yesterday or today. If we run into someone with bad intentions again, we won't be so lucky."

He regretted supporting Lu Jiaxin to move out, otherwise if someone in the family suddenly disappeared, he would be able to find out quickly.

Lu Jiajie hurriedly comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. In addition to Xue Mao, she also found two people to accompany her to the ancient capital. Those two people were introduced by Madam Xie. They are good at fighting and can protect them."

When Lu Jiaguang heard this, he finally let go of his worries: "Go find Su Heming first to find out the situation, and then come to me."

"good."

After the two brothers met, Lu Jiajie handed the letter to him.

Lu Jiaguang took it and read it carefully. It stated that she was going to the ancient capital and the reason why she kept it a secret from them. She also said that she would be back within two months and asked them not to worry.

Lu Jiajie leaned back in his chair and said, "Brother, I think Third Uncle really disappointed Xinxin. She didn't even say hello to such a big thing as going to the ancient capital."

Normally, when encountering difficulties, one would seek help from parents, but Jiaxin did not even mention it. Even when she needed a bodyguard, she asked the Xie family instead of her uncle.

Lu Jiaguang said: "If you were Xinxin, would you be disappointed?"

Previously, I was slightly biased towards Ding Jing and her daughter, which could be said to be for the sake of family harmony. But Xinxin has been back for so long, Ding Jing is doing Mrs. Lu steadily, and Zhao Siyi is also happily going to college. On the other hand, Xinxin moved out of her home after suffering so much injustice. If Jiajie hadn't lived there, the two half-grown children would definitely be bullied.

Lu Jiajie said: "Brother, don't you tell him about Xinxin's matter?"

Lu Jiaguang was also angry. He felt that Lu Hongjun was indifferent to him, but he couldn't hide such a big thing. So he immediately called him, but unfortunately no one answered.

The Xie family arranged for someone to follow Lu Jiaxin to the ancient capital, so his safety was guaranteed, so he was not worried. As for the human traffickers, he didn't think Lu Jiaxin could catch them.

The police station in her hometown looked for the person according to the clues provided by Lu Jiaxin, but they didn't find the person who matched her. It was expected that they couldn't find the person, after all, human traffickers would disguise themselves. There were young women who disguised themselves as old ladies before.

Lu Jiajie couldn't help but complain: "It was so good when Third Aunt was here. We would go over to eat on weekends, and the whole family would be happy and joyful. Who wouldn't envy us? It's not like now. If we have something to do, we can only go to Third Uncle's workplace."

In the past, going to Uncle San's house was like going back to his own home. Ever since Ding Jing came in, he always felt like a poor relative who came to ask for money. It was also for Xinxin, otherwise he would not come! Now that his sister has moved out, he will never go to the department store staff compound unless it is something important.

Lu Jiaguang didn't want to discuss Lu Hongjun. No matter how much he was not, he was still an elder. He changed the subject: "Since your father-in-law and mother-in-law want to adopt your eldest aunt's child, you and Lili should buy a house and move out. If you don't have enough money, I still have some."

Lu Jiajie would not be polite to his brothers. If he didn’t have enough money, he would definitely borrow from Lu Jiaguang: “Brother, I’m looking for a house recently. I’ll move out when I find a suitable one.”

Lu Jiaguang thought this was good news. In fact, he had wanted Lu Jiajie to move out for a long time. A man living in his mother-in-law's house couldn't stand up straight: "It's good if you can convince her. But after you move out, you will be the head of the family and you have to take on the responsibilities of the head of the family."

"I see, big brother. Alas, I don't know what Xinxin is doing now?"

Lu Jiaxin, who he was thinking about, was eating dinner on the train. People nowadays were more frugal, and many people would prepare dry food before going on a long journey. Xue Mao's pancakes were only enough for one meal, and the rest could only be bought on the train.

Lu Jiaxin bought two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. She thought the taste was good and the price was acceptable. It was not like in the later times, which were expensive and unpalatable.

Gu Wenfeng had a big appetite and ordered two extra servings of white rice. Seeing him eat so happily, Lu Jiaxin felt her appetite improve.

Opposite them sat an old man with half-white hair, who also bought a box lunch and had no appetite at first. But when he saw Gu Wenfeng eating with great relish, he suddenly had a big appetite.

After the meal, the old man sighed: "It's still good to be young! When I was 30, I ate two aluminum boxes of lunch and was hungry before dinner time."

Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, but thought to herself that it was because everyone didn't have enough oil in their stomachs. If there was too much oil, they wouldn't be able to finish a lunch box.

Gu Wenfeng is not a chatty person, but the old man talked with good intentions, so he responded: "Everyone will get old one day, no one can escape it."

Lu Jiaxin looked at him with some surprise. Zhao Dajun couldn't keep things to himself, and he revealed his true feelings within a day, but Gu Wenfeng didn't say anything. She felt that Gu Wenfeng was a man with a story.

Sleeping on the lower bunk is convenient for everything, and if it is an elderly person with mobility problems or a child, she will show the spirit of Lei Feng. The other person looks like he is in his forties and in the prime of life, and she doesn't want to be wronged.

Gu Wenfeng's position was very clear. This time he was only responsible for protecting Lu Jiaxin's safety. He would remind her if there was any danger, but he would not say anything else.

After dinner, the old man and Lu Jiaxin started chatting. Old people like to tell stories, and this old man is no exception. If she were in Beijing, she would not be happy to listen, but she was free on the train anyway, so listening to it was a way to kill time.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the carriage were on. The old man was tired of talking, so he went to the water room to get some water.

Gu Wenfeng and Lu Jiaxin said, "Should we switch? You can sleep in the middle bunk."

He felt that sleeping on the lower berth was not very safe. Many people who took the train lost valuables and money at night. The hard seat carriages were the hardest hit, and the sleeper berths were slightly better, but it did happen. Lu Jiaxin said before that she brought valuables. Judging from the weight of the luggage and the fact that she had visited several banks before, she should have brought a large amount of cash this time.

"good."

After the lights in the carriage went out, a few people were still talking. There was a strange smell in the carriage, and Lu Jiaxin tossed and turned in bed until the middle of the night before she fell asleep.

"ah……"

A scream woke her up, and when she sat up, her head hit the iron frame. But she couldn't care about her forehead at this time, because Gu Wenfeng was holding a man with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

Gu Wenfeng said loudly: "He tried to steal our luggage, but I caught him red-handed."

In the dim light, Lu Jiaxin saw the army green bag on the ground and her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face: "Brother, we didn't lose anything, did we?"

She put two thousand in her canvas bag and the rest in her luggage bag. This money was for buying a house, and if she lost the house, it would be a waste of money.

Gu Wenfeng glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry, nothing is lost.

When the people in the carriage heard that a thief had been caught, they hurried to check their belongings. Among them, a passenger sitting near the door had his belongings robbed; more than 500 yuan in his bag was missing.

The train police arrived soon, handcuffed the thief and took him away. The 500 yuan was also found on the thief.

The passenger who lost the money came over to thank Gu Wenfeng. If he hadn't been alert and caught the thief, the money would never have been recovered.

Lu Jiajie and Lu Jiaguang had dinner at the Railway Bureau and went home after dinner. On the way, they met a vendor selling candied haws and bought three strings.

Although he had a bad relationship with his aunt, he would not argue with a child. More importantly, he did not want to quarrel again over such a small matter. But when he got home and saw that Sister Ma came again, he took the candied haws into the house.

Lu Jiajie didn't want to see his aunt's ugly face, and was about to say that he would not have dinner at home in the evening when Ma's mother came out of the kitchen.

When she saw Lu Jiajie, Ma's mother stared at his clothes and asked, "Jiajie, you didn't wear this when you went out at noon. Where did you go?"

Sister Ma was like a cat smelling fish. She groaned and said, "Jiajie, your clothes are brand new and fit you well. Who bought them for you?"

If you talk to him nicely, he will explain, but he is so weird, as if he has done something shameful. Lu Jiajie said coldly: "Who bought it has nothing to do with you? If you have the time, you should take care of the children and stop bringing duck eggs home all the time."

Sister Ma's face turned pale and blue. The fact that her two older sons were not good at studying was her Achilles' heel: "My son Xiaogang is not good at studying, but he is an honest person, unlike some people who steal and do bad things."

Lu Jiajie was furious: "What do you mean by that? Just because your man likes to cheat, do you think all men in the world are the same? I'm really sorry, I'm a germaphobe, unlike your man who accepts dirty and smelly people."

I learned the word "cleansing" from Lu Jiaxin.

Sister Ma was furious: "Lu Jiajie, what nonsense are you talking about? My man is innocent, and you slander him."

If someone ridiculed him for being a gigolo, I could tolerate it, but if someone slandered him for having a woman outside, I would definitely fight back. Otherwise, the whole building would spread rumors that he was having an affair outside tomorrow.

Lu Jiajie said: "Whether he is innocent or not, you know it in your heart, and we all know it too."
