Xiao Huai sat on the steps of Bazhi Hutong, his eyes like fishhooks, watching the passersby, trying to pick out a suitable target from the crowd.
Young, beautiful, speaks with a non-local accent, single woman.
He had been keeping a close eye on that job for three days, but it didn't work out. He was afraid of abandoning his partner and running away, and then he would be punished when he got back.
Later, Uncle Zhuang and Granny Luo returned injured. They not only blamed themselves for having incorrect information, but also abandoned their team members. He hadn't even given them any food the night before.
I was sent out again early this morning to look for targets.
"Yu Yan, I'm going to eat my way through this whole street today! I don't know if I'll ever have another chance to come to Kyoto!"
Su Qingci looked surprised. "What do you mean? You're leaving?"
Kong Yuzhen nodded, "Yes, my brother said he'll be going back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow!"
Only when the two pairs of exquisite sandals gradually disappeared into the distance did Xiao Huai slowly raise her head to look at the graceful backs of Su Qingci and Kong Yuzhen.
"From out of town!"
"Young and beautiful!"
"Too bad, there are two!"
Xiao Huai decisively gave up and began searching the crowd again.
Su Qingci led Kong Yuzhen into the alley, found a food shop, and ordered millet porridge and braised pork pies, eating them without any regard for appearances.
Seeing the two of them enjoying their meal, Ah Yong also ordered some food at another table and started eating slowly.
After finishing her meal and leaving the store, Su Qingci looked at A Yong, who was following her at a distance. She thought she had to get rid of him first, otherwise, with such a big man following her, no one would dare to make a move!
"Yuzhen, that meat pie was so delicious! The crust was crispy, and it burst with juice when you bit into it. It was so fragrant, I almost swallowed my tongue!"
"Yes, yes, it lives up to its reputation. If it weren't for the long wait and the need to save room for other things, I could have had another serving!"
Su Qingci stroked her belly and said meaningfully, "Sixth Master finally arrived in Kyoto, but he's been busy with important matters all day long. He doesn't have time to go out and sightsee, and he's also missed out on the local delicacies."
Kong Yuzhen thought about it and realized it was true. Her older brother usually ate meals delivered from restaurants, or he would eat out with guests.
I don't think I've ever seen him try this unique local snack before.
"Brother Yu, why don't you go to that shop and buy a few servings of braised meat pies for my brother and the others? I saw someone wrapping them in oil paper and taking them away when I was eating them."
"You tried it just now, it tastes pretty good, doesn't it? Take some back and everyone can enjoy it!"
As she spoke, Kong Yuzhen opened her small bag and took out money and tickets for A Yong.
Ah Yong paused for a moment, then said, "There are quite a few people in line, it'll probably be a while!"
Kong Yuzhen waved her hand impatiently, "Oh, wait a minute is fine, just wait. Yuyan and I will wander around the alley and see if there are any fun or delicious things ahead. You can come find us with the meat pie later, or we can come find you!"
A-Yong wanted to say something more, but Kong Yu-Zhen lost patience.
"Why are you, a grown man, always so whiny? Can't you just get to the point? In the two minutes you've been agonizing over this, two more people have gotten ahead of you in line!"
Ah Yong turned around and saw that, sure enough, more customers were heading into the store, so he quickly turned around and went inside.
"Don't wander off! Come find me when you're done!"
"Okay, okay!"
Su Qingci once again led Kong Yuzhen, swaying and staggering past Xiao Huai.
He still didn't react!
Su Qingci gritted her teeth and walked past him twice more.
Furthermore, during the conversation, he inadvertently revealed information such as "having no relatives or friends," "not being familiar with Kyoto," and "wanting to return to his hometown."
After several swaying motions, Xiao Huai finally caught up slowly behind her, and Su Qingci breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They're finally going to try and kidnap me!
She didn't know how the other party passed the message, but after walking a short distance, Su Qingci noticed that the person staring at her from behind had changed from a little boy to three people.
"Yu Yan, where are you looking!"
Kong Yuzhen pointed ahead to Su Qingci, who followed her gaze. At the end of the alley, there was a vague outline of a lake, with small boats occasionally passing by.
"It's a lake, and a boat!"
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
Su Qingci turned her head casually and quickly noticed a man wearing a hat behind her. When he saw Su Qingci looking over, he immediately pretended to look at the goods in the display window next to him. Not far to the side, there was another man looking up at the carvings on the roof beams.
"Aren't we waiting for A-Yong?" Su Qingci asked hesitantly to avoid being held accountable later.
Kong Yuzhen pulled Su Qingci into the alley, saying, "It's alright, he'll find us himself later!"
Looking at the narrow and long alley in front of her, Su Qingci followed Kong Yuzhen's lead and walked in. If the other party wanted to make a move, this alley would be a good opportunity.
She turned her head to look at the scenery at the intersection, glanced behind her, and sure enough, followed.
"Hey, Yu Yan, it really is a boat! I want to go on board and play too! I want to go on board and play too!"
"Okay! Let's play, play, play~"
The footsteps behind him quickened, and then a woman called out.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun~"
Su Qingci and Kong Yuzhen subconsciously turned their heads, and what they saw was a handkerchief. Then their arms were restrained and the handkerchief was covered to their noses.
"Mmm~"
Su Qingci subconsciously held her breath, then pretended to close her eyes and her body went limp, and someone immediately helped her up.
Damn it, Xiao Yun, how can you still be Xiao Yun? You should change your name!
A deep, gruff voice exclaimed with delight, "Got it! Good stuff, old man, hurry up!"
"Xiao Huai, where's the sack?"
Then came a young, tender voice, "Hey, here."
"Hurry up and put it on, carry it to the back alley, and have the second brother take it to the warehouse while it's still warm."
"Okay, okay."
While they were putting sacks over her, Su Qingci subtly leaned towards Kong Yuzhen, accidentally knocking off her hair clip and then stepping on her sandals.
Before she could make any further moves, her vision suddenly went dark as a rough burlap sack scraped against her face.
A foul odor reached her nose, and Su Qingci slowly opened her eyes. Then, she felt dizzy and was carried away.
In the narrow, old alley, Old Zhuangtou carried a sack and walked quickly. Xiao Huai, who was leading the way, looked left and right warily, and every now and then turned his head to wave to Old Zhuangtou to indicate that it was safe.
Not long after they started walking, Su Qingci felt herself being placed on a door panel similar to a cart, because she could clearly feel it shaking.
Before she could even react, she felt something densely covering her body. Her arm slid weakly down her side, and sure enough, she touched someone on her side. It must be Kong Yuzhen.
A smile played on his lips. Everything was going smoothly. Now all that was left was for that bastard Kong Liu to jump up and down in frustration!
Let's see if he still doesn't feel pain unless the fist lands on him, and let's see if he still lets the human traffickers go by not caring about anything that doesn't concern him!
Let it go, let it go, your sister got arrested.
