Chapter 54 Bitter Fruit
Chapter 55 Bitter Fruit
Fang Qing ran several hundred meters with Wen Ling on his back until his lungs were about to explode, and then he stopped to rest. The girl who followed Fang Qing had gone to an unknown place. Fang Qing looked back several times but did not see them, so he had to keep rushing forward.
Only when the sound of pursuit behind him gradually faded away did Fang Qing sit down to take a breath.
At this time, there were tall corn fields on both sides of the road. Fang Qing hid in the corn field with Wen Ling on his back to relax a little. Even if the group of people really caught up with them, with the corn fields as cover, they would not discover them so quickly.
The summer night, accompanied by hot wind and countless mosquitoes, made Fang Qing suffer. Just when the two were about to fall asleep, a burst of light finally came from the distance of the road.
Fang Qing observed carefully and found that it was a large truck. He was immediately overjoyed. He quickly climbed onto the road and waved wildly at the truck coming from a distance.
The truck braked suddenly and stopped in front of Fang Qing. But the driver didn't dare to open the door. The main reason was that Fang Qing looked really scary.
His face was dirty and covered in mud. If it weren't for his eyes that looked like a human being, the driver would have almost run him over.
After explaining the situation, the driver asked the two of them to climb into the back of the car, then stepped on the accelerator and left.
When the truck stopped in front of the police station, Fang Qing looked at the police officers rushing over from a distance and fainted.
When she woke up again, she saw the familiar white walls and the sound of dripping water. Fang Qing knew they were saved.
Shortly after Fang Qing woke up, the police came to take his statement.
It turned out that the driver thought they were stealing that night, so he sent them to the police station.
Subsequently, the police quickly identified several suspicious persons based on the information provided by Fang Qing and Wen Ling, and found the missing girls in the two villages reported by Fang Qing.
After waking up, Wen Ling, accompanied by her mother, went to Fang Qing's ward to express her gratitude solemnly.
Director Wen was very happy and felt fortunate that his daughter had such a brave and loyal friend.
But Wen's mother's face looked a little ugly. "Qingqing, luckily you two are fine this time. If you two had any accidents, what should we parents do? There are some things that I want to say in front of everyone today. I didn't know until today that you actually went to the dance hall on your birthday.
How could you, a bunch of little girls, go to a place like that? It's so dangerous! You two are dressed like that, are you afraid that others won't be able to see you? Hey, our Lingling used to be such an honest child, I don't know what bad luck she has had recently, to have encountered such a bad thing..."
Everyone in the ward had different expressions. There were many children in the county who went to the dance hall to play. Who would have thought that going to the dance hall to celebrate their birthday would cause so much trouble.
Although Wen's mother's tone was mild, she was blaming Fang Qing for leading her daughter astray.
Fang's mother didn't want to talk at first, but she got angry when she saw Wen's mother's look. However, she couldn't say anything too harsh in front of the child, so she had to drive everyone out. "The child just woke up, and the doctor told her to have a good rest. Let's get together another day."
After leaving the ward, the Wen family members were a little unhappy.
Wen Ling felt that her mother's words were a bit too much. It was she who suggested going to the dance hall to celebrate her birthday. The skirt was properly fitted and did not expose her breasts or buttocks. Why did it sound so awkward when it came out of her mother's mouth?
Director Wen also disagreed with his wife's words. No matter what, if it weren't for Fang Qing, his child might have been sold long ago. "Even if you are unhappy, you shouldn't say such things in front of someone's child. After all, she calls you Aunt Wen and risked her life to save your daughter. How can you say that..."
Fang's mother immediately shouted, "I told you what's wrong? I didn't like that girl in the first place. If it weren't for her good grades, I wouldn't have let Lingzi play with her! But when the two of them got together, they just thought about these fancy things all day long. Making ice cream, making skirts, and even choosing such an indecent place for her birthday. If you ask me, this is Fang Qing's fault. If it weren't for her, my daughter might have suffered this!"
Mother Wen looked at the three people in front of her with different expressions, not knowing what had happened. She turned around and saw that it was Fang Qing holding an IV bottle and going to the toilet. She happened to hear it.
Fang's mother was caught saying bad things behind someone's back, and her face instantly turned the color of liver, but she still believed that what she said was right, "Qingqing! Don't blame your aunt for saying bad things, even if it's in front of you, I would say the same thing, and please stay away from our Lingzi in the future, thank you."
Fang Qing thought about the outcome of the matter, but he never expected it to be like this.
Ultimately, this matter is indeed related to me. If I had not agreed to let them go to the dance hall, perhaps none of this would have happened.
"Aunt Wen, I'm sorry. I was inconsiderate and frightened Lingzi. But please rest assured that I won't bother you again. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you."
Wen Ling hurried over to grab Fang Qing's clothes, but was pulled back by her mother. "Qingqing is so sensible, don't make things more complicated! Come back with me quickly!"
Wen Ling looked at Fang Qing's back as she turned and left, feeling very upset. "Mom, can you be reasonable? How can you blame Fang Qing for this? I pestered her to make the skirt. It was also my suggestion to celebrate my birthday in the dance hall. Qingqing even tried to stop us at the time. If you have to blame someone, it's only me! And without Qingqing, I might have been sold a long time ago. How can you say that about her?"
But Wen's mother was stubborn. She felt that Fang Qing had been escaping from her control since she met the two children. Wen Ling stopped listening to her, and even her most obedient son began to pay attention to Fang Qing.
This won't do! His son will do great things in the future. How can a little country girl like this be worthy of his son? So she must stop them from having any more contact.
The Wen family quickly left the hospital, and Fang Qing and Fang Jing were also discharged soon, but Fang's mother found that her daughter had returned to her previous silence.
She stopped going out and hanging out with her classmates. She even went to Qiu's painting class at a different time from Wen Ling. She stayed in her room all day, either doing homework or painting. She was no longer as cheerful as before.
Fang's mother knew that this kidnapping incident must have left a bad shadow on the child. At the same time, she became more and more suspicious whether her daughter was really unlucky, otherwise why would she encounter these bad things again and again...
It just so happened that the family restaurant had closed recently, the children were on summer vacation, and there was nothing much to do at home recently, so Fang's mother waved her hand, bought tickets and took the family out for a walk to relax.
