Chapter 36 Thrilling
After the three of them had lunch at the state-owned restaurant, Zhang Ze took Mao Qian to clean up the house. Suning did not rush back to the guesthouse to rest, but strolled slowly on the street.
When she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, she unexpectedly discovered that they were selling ginger candies, which she had never eaten before. Looking at the big hard pieces with shredded ginger inside, she was so interested that she couldn't help but buy several pieces to try them.
As soon as I walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, a piece of ginger candy was already in my mouth.
It's very sweet and has a slightly spicy ginger taste. It's not bad, but it gives me an indescribable weird feeling.
Especially after swallowing it, it felt like a small flame was spreading along her tongue to her throat, instantly causing a layer of sweat to appear on the tip of her nose and forehead.
“Poof~”
Suddenly, I heard an uncontrollable laugh.
When she turned around, she saw a girl about her age, with a pair of red and yellow butterfly braids tied at the end of her pigtailed hair.
The pupils of those smiling eyes were dark and shiny, and there was a very cute little mole on the wing of the nose.
"I'm sorry, classmate. I was laughing at your reaction after eating ginger candy, not at you... No, I wasn't laughing at you... No, that's not it..."
"Yes, I understand."
For a moment, both of them felt embarrassed as if they had been caught by the other. After looking at each other and smiling, they simultaneously quickened their pace and hurriedly left the supply and marketing cooperative.
They were walking in opposite directions and never thought that they would meet again in that way not long after.
…
Paper signs with the names of their respective communes were held up high, and a large group of educated youth asked questions chatteringly, and then one after another took their luggage and walked to the commune leaders assigned to them when they went to the countryside.
The area was surrounded by villagers who loved to watch the fun.
Gushi is just a small county-level city. For the several batches of educated young people from major cities all over the world who have come here every year in the past two or three years, it is still a novelty to look at.
If there are one or two troublemakers who don't understand the situation, it will be even more exciting!
Not quite understanding why the crowd was getting more and more excited the more they watched, Suning, who was standing at the outermost layer, secretly shook his head and had to give up on the melon.
The tour was not without gain. She turned around and left thinking about the news she had heard.
Although it has been two years since the natural disaster, food is still in short supply everywhere, especially various fine grains and nutritional products.
These two things may even be more useful than money, and if used well, they can have unexpected results.
Especially when she heard the old lady asking her mysteriously if she had any grain, she said that with 300 kilograms of fine grain and 100 yuan she could buy a formal job in a state-owned restaurant.
The old lady's words undoubtedly gave her inspiration: it turns out that work indicators can be set this way.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Help, help!"
"Xiaohua, how can you not acknowledge me as your mother now, wuwu~"
"I don't even know you, how can you be my mother? Let go of me now!"
"Wow, Hua'er, just listen to your mother's advice and let's go home first, okay? Your dad...is dying soon..."
The fierce quarrel brought Suning back to his senses from his thoughts.
It turned out that she had unknowingly entered another "busy" circle.
A middle-aged woman in a gray-dot short-sleeved shirt in the crowd was holding on to the girl in front of her who was trying to break free with both hands, begging desperately with tears in her eyes.
"Hua'er, just listen to me, okay? Woo woo ~ I... I'll kneel down and beg you, just go back with me..."
"Let go! I really don't know her, and my name isn't Hua'er. Please help me, is there anyone who can help me call the police?"
"Flowers~"
The middle-aged woman looked devastated, with tearful eyes filled with sorrow and disappointment.
The choked scream contained the pain in the heart of a mother, and made those who were full of empathy and had low tear points immediately have tears in their eyes.
In an instant, all kinds of accusations, insults, and persuasion came pouring in.
"Girl, just listen to your mother and go home to see your father. If you really don't even see him for the last time...tsk tsk tsk, that would be extremely unfilial!"
"You are a girl who looks pretty and well-dressed, but how can you be so cruel and vicious that you even made your mother kneel down? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"That's right, how can there be such a cruel girl!"
"Big sister, I say you are too weak. If this happened in my house, I would have beaten you up a long time ago. You dare to yell at your elders as your mother? You are so rebellious!"
"That's right, girl, be obedient and go home with your mother quickly!"
Luo Shuangshuang listened to the people around her who were all leaning towards the middle-aged woman, and her heart and eyes were filled with despair: Why? Why was there no one willing to believe her?
"I really don't know this person! Who, who can help me? I won't leave, you let me go!"
The long hair that was scattered around her face during the pushing and pulling was thrown behind her because she struggled more violently, revealing her eyes full of fear.
A small mole on the nose, a red and yellow braided rope...
'It's her!'
He stood on tiptoe to get a closer look and recognized her at a glance. He immediately thought of a kidnapping incident at the school gate that was almost the same as the current situation.
His mind buzzed. Seeing the middle-aged woman dragging the man away with the help of a few enthusiastic people, Suning pushed through the crowd and blocked their way with a few big steps, shouting -
"Where do you want to take my classmate? I've met her mother, and that person is not you at all!"
"hiss--"
"What's going on?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned by the sudden situation, but fortunately her reaction speed was not slow, and she immediately came to her senses and asked back.
"What do you want to do, girl? Do you know her? Are you saying that I'm not her mother?"
"She is my classmate Hu Xiyue, how come I don't know her? She is not the little flower you mentioned at all, and you are certainly not her mother. You are a human trafficker who wants to abduct a beautiful girl, right?"
"you…"
"What do you mean by you? I know her name, where she goes to school, and even her home address. What about you? You said her name is Hua'er? What's her last name? How old is she and when is her birthday?"
"I…"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Do you need to think about such simple information about your own daughter? Shouldn't you blurt it out? You can't say it at all, because you are a human trafficker!"
Suning was so confident that it even made up the name without thinking and without any panic.
He was clear and articulate, and his questions one after another forced the middle-aged woman to retreat repeatedly.
"Girl, don't meddle in other people's business. Didn't your parents teach you that?"
"What is a private matter? You kidnapping my classmate on the street is a private matter? I dare to go to the police station to confront the truth of what I said, but do you dare?"
While the woman was panicking and trying to think of a solution, Luo Shuangshuang, who was feeling desperate but also happy about the turn of events, immediately burst out with a strong desire to survive and struggled to break free from her restraints.
Without any hesitation, he ran behind her, whom he had only met once, and hugged her unconsciously with his arms, shaking uncontrollably.
Luo Shuangshuang thought this moment would be engraved in her mind forever.
Because when she was most desperate and helpless and about to fall into darkness, a little fairy fell from the sky and pulled her out!
“The traffickers want to escape!”
"Catch her quickly! The damn kidnapper should be beaten to death!"
"Oh, is he really a human trafficker?"
"Isn't it that she couldn't answer the girl's question? Isn't it because she was guilty that she ran away?"
"Oh my god! I almost became an accomplice. I'm a human trafficker who was cut into pieces. Beat her to death!"
"In broad daylight, he kidnapped a girl so brazenly. How arrogant! I'm going to report him!"
The onlookers who finally realized that something was wrong were shocked and frightened, and the scene was like a boiler that had exploded.
Especially those who just stepped forward to help, their backs were wet with cold sweat.
They were almost becoming the knife in the hands of human traffickers!
The crowd, filled with shame and anger, surrounded the middle-aged woman who tried to run away and started beating and kicking her.
After receiving the report, the police quickly arrived at the scene. Not only did they lock up and drag away the middle-aged woman who was beaten black and blue, they also keenly arrested the two accomplices who were hiding in the crowd and were responsible for fanning the flames and providing support afterwards.
The news spread at the fastest speed, shocking the entire ancient city.
Families with girls were especially nervous and afraid, and for a long time they did not dare to let their girls go out alone.
