Jiang Xiaoqiao introduced Gu Xiangbei to Old Chen and the others, so that the only elderly couple left in Beijing who were concerned about her could rest assured.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoqiao prepared to set off with Gu Xiangbei back to Qingshan Brigade.
Old Chen took a three-hour leave just to see Jiang Xiaoqiao off.
"This is the pancake my old man baked. I'll take it with me on the road."
"Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, Chunsheng, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to the city to see you next time."
"Go, go, be careful on the road."
Watching Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei walk away, Old Chen sighed.
Xiao Chunsheng looked up at him and asked, "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"
Old Chen said, "Your sister Qiao has had a very hard time in the past ten years. I hope that boy surnamed Gu will treat her well in the future."
…
While waiting at the station, Jiang Xiaoqiao opened the bag of pancakes that Old Chen handed to her. As soon as she opened it, she saw another small ball wrapped in cloth inside.
Jiang Xiaoqiao opened the bag and found that it contained banknotes.
She took out the paper, and put the money and cloth into the space.
[Xiao Qiao, this is a little gift from me and your Grandma Chen. Please accept it and consider it as a wedding gift from us. Don’t be polite.
Xiao Qiao, I hope you live a good life in the future. Come back to the city when you have time. I will make you something delicious.
A small piece of paper with dense words on it made Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes red.
Gu Xiangbei sat aside, looking at Jiang Xiaoqiao's red eyes, then looking at the note she took out, and comforted her: "In the future, if you want to come back, I will accompany you to see Grandpa Chen and the others."
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked up at him and could feel his seriousness.
"good."
The train whirred into the station, and it was time for Jiang Xiaoqiao, Gu Xiangbei and the others to enter the station.
Goodbye, Beijing.
Qingshan Brigade, waiting for her!
Gu Xiangbei escorted Jiang Xiaoqiao to the station. The sleeper car they had bought was now empty.
But when it was almost time to rest at night, three men and one woman came up. The middle-aged woman and the gay man looked gentle and cultured.
We were all strangers in the same carriage.
Jiang Xiaoqiao wasn't the type of person who was extremely curious or enthusiastic. At most, she would smile, nod, and say hello when someone walked past her berth.
"Xiao Qiao, go to sleep." Gu Xiangbei said, "I'll keep watch."
"Let's sleep together, no need to guard us." Jiang Xiaoqiao whispered.
The two men didn't have anything valuable on them, and among the four people who came in later, two of them were obviously not ordinary people.
The security level in this carriage is very high and there is no need for night watch.
Gu Xiangbei agreed, but he was just pretending to sleep with his eyes closed and was not really asleep.
In the dark night, the train was rumbling forward at a steady speed. Every carriage was quiet and most people were asleep.
Until a scream was heard.
Next, there were countless noisy sounds.
Jiang Xiaoqiao frowned and woke up. Not only her, but everyone else in the car woke up as well.
"Old Han, what happened?"
"Brother Han, Sister Han, I'm going to go out and take a look."
One of the four men, a sturdy man, went out of the carriage to take a look. Gu Xiangbei looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and said, "Xiaoqiao, I'll go out and take a look too. You stay in the carriage and wait for me here."
"Okay, be careful."
The noise in the front carriage was getting louder and louder, and Gu Xiangbei closed the carriage door before going out.
After a while, Gu Xiangbei came back with the comrade who had gone out earlier.
"Xiangbei, what happened?"
"A passenger's child is missing, and several other passengers have lost their money and notes. The conductor is searching each carriage."
Jiang Xiaoqiao frowned. The child was missing, and it was the damn human traffickers again?!
Damn it! If she catches him, she will beat the human trafficker up badly.
"The child is missing, how sad the parents must be." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "How old is the missing child? We will stay in the car for a while, so we can help look for him."
Gu Xiangbei said, "It's a five-year-old boy wearing a bright red coat, with a red mole at the corner of his eye."
"Human traffickers are vicious and dangerous. Xiao Qiao, stay in the carriage and don't move. I'll go help find them."
In addition to trafficking children, human traffickers also traffic young and attractive women.
In Gu Xiangbei's opinion, Jiang Xiaoqiao is also very dangerous.
She is so beautiful, what if the human traffickers on the train also attack her?
No, Gu Xiangbei thought about it and decided that it would be better for him to stay by Jiang Xiaoqiao's side all the time.
Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't know what Gu Xiangbei was thinking in such a short time. He had just said that he wanted to go out to help, but now he said he couldn't go and wanted to stay by her side.
"Comrades, we'd like to ask if you've seen any suspicious people or heard any strange noises."
"No."
The people in Jiang Xiaoqiao's carriage didn't see any suspicious people or hear any movement.
It was the crying and screaming from before that woke them up. The conductor came over to ask as usual, but he didn't have too high expectations.
The main missing children are in the third hard seat carriage in front of here.
It was a bit far from the sleeper car. The sound Jiang Xiaoqiao and the others heard before was made by the child's mother after she suddenly woke up and asked in each car until she found the collapsed one.
It is now past three in the morning, and the next stop is said to arrive at four fifty.
During this period, if we can't find the child, my chances will be even slimmer.
After asking, the conductor hurried away and continued to ask the next carriage to see if there were any suspicious people.
Jiang Xiaoqiao was already awake, so she wouldn't fall asleep again so quickly.
She put on her shoes and tied her loose hair into a low ponytail.
"Gu Xiangbei, I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you."
"Need not……"
The sound insulation is particularly poor these days, let alone on a train.
If Gu Xiangbei was standing outside waiting for her, he would definitely hear the sound of her "releasing" in the inner room clearly.
Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't want to, she refused with red ears.
"I'm just going to the bathroom. If I come back too late, you can come find me later, okay?"
After being looked at by Jiang Xiaoqiao's watery eyes and hearing her words, Gu Xiangbei pursed his lips.
"good."
Forget it, forget it, just listen to Xiao Qiao, and wait for him to pay attention at all times and just follow her and see.
Less than two minutes after Jiang Xiaoqiao left the carriage, Gu Xiangbei stood up and stood at the door of the carriage, looking at her figure.
After Jiang Xiaoqiao turned the corner and entered the restroom, Gu Xiangbei quickly followed and waited outside.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoqiao entered the bathroom, she saw an old lady washing her hands at the sink.
