Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Two updates combined into one (revised)
Shen Moer looked around and suddenly bent down to look at the ground, muttering to herself: "How could it be gone? What should I do? That was the dowry left by my grandmother, passed down to her descendants. How could I have lost it? It was there just now. Where did I lose it? What should I do? We are about to arrive at the station. What should I do?"
She looked absent-minded and looked at every corner of the carriage. People passing by heard about dowry and passing down to descendants and slowed down their steps involuntarily and looked around.
A shrewd auntie walked up to Shen Moer and asked, "Girl, did you drop something? Tell me and I'll help you find it. I'm a very helpful person. We should always help each other when we go out. It's slow for you to find it by yourself. Tell me, it will definitely be easier for me to help you find it than for you to find
it by yourself." Shen Moer bit her lip, looking a little hesitant, but she seemed to be moved by this kind-hearted auntie. After a silence, she whispered, "Auntie, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else, It's a gold bracelet."
The astute aunt gasped and exclaimed: "What, no, how could you lose such a precious thing?!"
Shen Moer said with a frown: "The bracelet was given to me by my grandmother. It's a little big for me. It was originally tied with a red rope, but the rope may have broken over the years. I went from the carriage to the toilet over here, and the bracelet disappeared."
She looked like she was thinking hard: "It should be in the carriage. When I just went to the toilet, I felt a little empty in my hand. , I'm not used to it, maybe it slipped under a seat, I'll go to the other end of the carriage to look for it."
The smart lady grabbed Shen Moer and said, "No need, I'll go there, you stay here, let's look for it together, don't worry, I'll call you when I find it!"
Shen Moer blinked, hesitated again, and said, "Okay, auntie, I believe you, you look like a kind person."
The smart lady's eyes flashed, "That's right, I'm a kind person."
She walked quickly to the other end of the carriage.
They spoke quietly, but the people who noticed it had already pricked up their ears. When they heard something about "gold bracelet" and "missing", they immediately followed the smart lady to the other end of the carriage.
Some people even tried to cover it up by saying: "Girl, you have lost something. Don't worry, we will help you find it. We should help each other when we are away from home. That eldest sister is not the only one who is warm-hearted, but we are too."
Shen Mo'er hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "I believe it, uncle, you are a good person at first glance."
Others: "..."
No, this girl is too easy to fool.
For such a beautiful and innocent girl, her family actually allowed her to go out alone. If this bracelet was lost, it was a small one, so maybe everyone would have to lose it.
There were two men in the crowd with twinkling eyes.
Many people followed and walked to the other end of the carriage, and some simply started looking from the middle. Everyone wanted to lie on the ground and look at the soles of the passengers' feet carefully.
Shen Moer noticed that two men walked to the old lady's seat. One man exchanged seats with the middle-aged woman and sat next to Zhang Jiaojiao. The other man said something to the middle-aged woman who stood up. The moment the middle-aged woman looked over, Shen Moer bent down and squatted.
These two men should be accomplices.
A young girl with short hair and black-framed glasses rubbed against Shen Moer and whispered: "If they find it, they may hide it and not give it back to you. Do you want to go over and keep an eye on them? I'll help you look for it here. Don't worry. I'm a student who just got admitted to the university. I swear to the leader that I will definitely give it back to you if I find it. I'll give you the book as a guarantee."
She carefully took out a somewhat old book from her bag. The title of the book was "How the Steel Was Tempered".
Shen Moer smiled and whispered, "I believe you, but you are right. Even if we find these people, they may not return them to me. So could you please call a few train police officers over and ask them to help me?"
The short-haired girl nodded quickly, "You are right. We should find the police. I'll go right away!"
As she said that, she immediately stood up and ran to the dining car. She didn't know where the train police officers would look, but there must be attendants in the dining car.
Shen Moer glanced at her watch. There were only two minutes left before the train stopped at the station. The train police officers would definitely not be able to come before the train stopped at the station. The
reason why she didn't rashly ask someone to help her call for help was because she was afraid that there were accomplices of this gang nearby. Now that the accomplices have surfaced, she has to keep an eye on them. If she doesn't keep an eye on them, it will be difficult to find them again.
The front carriage was already in chaos. Many people knew that someone had lost a gold bracelet. Even the passengers who were originally sitting were looking at the ground.
Shen Moer lowered her head and walked into the carriage in the chaos. After walking a few steps, she was suddenly grabbed by someone. The woman said in a low voice: "Girl, I found it for you. Come with me and I will give it to you quietly. Otherwise, people will hear it and come back to steal it from you."
At this time, the train gradually slowed down, and a sharp whistle sounded. The train arrived at the station.
Perhaps because they were busy looking for the gold bracelet, no one got off the train for a while. Shen Moer glanced over and saw the old lady and the man helping Zhang Jiaojiao stand up.
She cut the middle-aged woman's tendons with her knife, and as soon as her hand loosened, she immediately walked forward quickly, shouting as she walked: "Grandma in the green cotton jacket, how can you not give me back the bracelet you picked up? Don't go, give it back to me!"
When they heard that someone had picked up the bracelet, everyone in the carriage immediately raised their heads to look over. Everyone was still immersed in finding the gold bracelet, and no one reacted to get off the car. The only three old ladies standing were particularly conspicuous.
The shrewd aunt who had been searching for a long time at the other end of the carriage immediately came over and stopped the old lady: "No, you picked up the bracelet? Why didn't you say anything if you found it? We were looking for it for so long."
If she had found it, she probably wouldn't say anything, but someone else actually found it and didn't say anything and wanted to keep it for herself. The aunt was immediately very angry. She had to go through so much trouble to find it. Isn't this moral corruption? She must criticize it!
The old lady was also confused. She had been in the underworld for so many years and had cheated people many times, but this was the first time she was fooled. She was filled with righteous indignation: "When did I pick up the bracelet? I didn't. Who said I picked it up? Don't accuse a good person!"
"That lady said so. She said she saw you picked it up with her own eyes." Shen Moer pointed at the middle-aged woman who was also confused by this unexpected development, "Besides, if you didn't pick it up, why were you in such a hurry to get off the car?"
The smart lady immediately said, "Of course, if you didn't pick up the bracelet, why did you get off the car in such a hurry? You must have picked it up and didn't want to return it to the owner and wanted to run away quickly."
After all, she originally thought so, and the old lady must have thought so too. It's not surprising at all!
"No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that the lady picked up the bracelet!" At this time, the middle-aged woman finally reacted and said hurriedly, "Sister, you can't talk nonsense. People are in a hurry to get off the bus when they arrive at the station. This is normal. Hey, everyone, hurry up. If you don't get off the bus, it will be too late."
As she said this, she chased after Shen Moer and tried to pull her. Shen Moer turned around and slapped her in the face: "No! It was that lady who picked it up, then why did you lie to me? "
The middle-aged woman: "I didn't..."
Shen Moer pushed her away, rushed over and grabbed the old lady: "Then she picked up my bracelet!"
The old lady: "I didn't..."
Shen Moer slapped the old lady in the face again: "You picked up my bracelet and you didn't return it, and you still want to cheat me. As expected, the old man who doesn't die is a thief!"
Pa, pa, pa, a few more slaps.
Everyone else was stunned, especially the few who said they would help find the bracelet before, they all felt a little pain in their faces for some reason.
The man who was supporting Zhang Jiaojiao couldn't help it anymore. He raised his fist and was about to hit her. The old lady pulled him back: "Forget it, forget it. Let's get off the car."
Shen Moer was not polite at all. She slapped the man on the face three times: "You still want to hit me, you're so brave!"
Others: "..."
Shocked!
This girl is too fierce! The
man couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed Zhang Jiaojiao to the old lady and reached out to hit Shen Moer.
He thought he just didn't react just now. Otherwise, how could he, a big and strong man, be beaten by a woman? He
was hit on the face. He was watched by people in the car. He really couldn't stand it at all.
But the man soon found out that it was not easy to hit Shen Moli. This woman was very flexible and could always dodge at the right time. She could even find a chance to fight back. Not only did he fail to hit her, but he was slapped by her several times.
After all, she was an old sparrow in Dongting Lake. Seeing that something was not right, the old lady quickly stopped him: "Boss, forget it. Let's not argue with this girl. We have to get off the car. It will be too late."
She winked at the middle-aged woman and another man not far away. The middle-aged woman immediately came over to pull Shen Moli: "Girl, your things were really not taken by them. You must have heard wrongly. Come on, let me accompany you to look for them somewhere else."
Shen Moli was not polite at all for asking for a beating. Without saying a word, she slapped her three times.
When another man saw this, he hurried over to help, and the scene became a situation where two men and one woman "besieged" Shen Moer.
Although Shen Moer did not say a word and started beating people, it did scare people a little. Everyone felt that this female lesbian was not easy to mess with, but how could the three of you "besiege" a female lesbian?
Several people at the scene stepped forward to stop the fight: "You can't do this, three people beating one, and two of them are big bosses, isn't this bullying?"
The three people were held back, and they really had a hard time.
It looked like three of them were fighting one, but the problem was that they didn't hit each other at all. Instead, they were slapped by each other from time to time. Moreover, the man sitting with the old lady wanted to leave, but couldn't. Whenever he wanted to retreat, Shen Moer would always block his way just right.
These people are really blind, really blind!
They were not the ones beating anyone, they were clearly being beaten! Their
faces were so painful from being slapped, but these people were still pulling them!
The three of them were getting more and more angry, and
they didn't care about anything else. Whoever pulled them, they would hit back. "Hey, why are you hitting people? I came here with good intentions to stop the fight, but you hit me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully!"
"You dare to hit me? I don't think you know that Lord Ma has three eyes!"
Well, the ones who were trying to stop the fight also started fighting with them.
The beaters, the beaten, the breakers, the fighters… the scene was in chaos.
At this moment, the train police finally arrived.
The short-haired girl called the train police, and several crew members who heard about the fight hurried over.
The police shouted from a distance: "Stop it, do you want to be trapped in the fence?!"
The uncle in the hat was so aggressive that the one who was breaking up the fight let go and stepped back. Shen Moli ran towards the police: "Comrade from the Public Security Bureau, they are a group of people..."
The old ladies and the others looked gloomy, and the two men looked at each other and quietly took out knives from their pockets. Before they could do anything, they heard Shen Moli's voice: "...They took my gold bracelet!"
Damn, why does this woman breathe so hard when she talks.
There was a trace of struggle in the eyes of both men, but in the end they decided to hold off and put the knife back.
The old lady stepped forward quickly and said, "Comrade police, we really didn't pick up anything. We picked up a gold bracelet while riding on a train. How could such a good thing happen in the world? We wanted to get off the train, but this girl kept dragging us along and delayed us for a long time. She even hit us. Look at my face, my son's face, and the faces of these two enthusiastic people. We were all beaten up. But we won't bother with her anymore. We really want to get off the train. If we hadn't arrived at the station, I would have settled accounts with her."
Shen Moli raised her hand, "Comrade police, I have evidence. I know where they hid the gold bracelet. I'll tell you."
She quickly walked to the leading policeman, pulled him aside and whispered something to him.
The policeman's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked back at the old lady and the others, and his eyes glanced at Zhang Jiaojiao who was supported by the old lady without leaving any trace.
Then he decisively made a few gestures to his colleagues, and the other police officers and the flight attendants opposite them had their eyes flashed. Almost in just a moment, before the old lady and the others could react, several policemen and flight attendants suddenly took action.
Several policemen rushed over and were pinned down by the two men in a few moves. The two men wanted to resist, but the daggers in their pockets were knocked out and stepped on by the police as soon as the tip of the knife was exposed.
The flight attendants also quickly controlled the middle-aged woman and the old lady.
"Take them all away!"
Shen Moer went out to fetch water and didn't come back for a long time. At first, Shen Shaoyuan didn't feel worried. His daughter went to Guangzhou so many times and had a lot of experience going out. Moreover, she was good at fighting and smart. It was really hard for ordinary people to cheat her.
When Xiao Liangliang woke up and started looking for her mother, she was probably hungry and couldn't find her mother. When she dropped her little pearl in grievance, Shen Shaoyuan also became a little anxious.
Zhou Pingan: "I'll go look for her."
He ran out and didn't find anyone at the water fetching place. He looked around the nearby carriages, but still couldn't find anyone. Just when he was confused about where to look, he heard that there was a fight in the carriage behind.
When Zhou Pingan went there, he saw a mess in the carriage, and several people were shouting: "What should I do? I forgot to get off the train!"
He asked someone and heard that someone had lost a gold bracelet, and someone picked it up, and then the police took everyone away.
The man lamented that he forgot to get off the train and missed his stop, and at the same time, he excitedly described to Zhou Pingan how the beautiful girl who lost the gold bracelet was "besieged" by three people and beat the three people into a pig-headed third.
Zhou Pingan: "..."
Zhou Pingan returned to the carriage with nothing. Shen Shaoyuan was feeding the aggrieved little Liangliang with a bottle while listening to Zhou Pingan dancing and retelling the heroic deeds of the girl with the gold bracelet. Shen Shaoyuan listened for a while, thought about it, and said calmly: "That should be Moer. Those people are probably some kind of criminals. She should be back after the police take the statement."
Sure enough, Shen Moer came back before the train arrived at the Capital Station.
She cooperated with the train police to take the statement and explained the cause and effect. Naturally, she didn't need to worry about the rest of the things, and handed them over to the police.
After so many years in this world, Shen Moer believed in the ability of the police comrades and believed that the police comrades would investigate those people clearly.
Hearing that Zhang Jiaojiao was almost kidnapped by traffickers, Zhou Ping'an, Liu Yinshuang, and Xu Chengyi all opened their mouths in surprise.
Xu Chengyi said speechlessly: "No, is her head full of gossip?!"
People said that their son is a professor at Capital University, and he happens to be in her department. She actually believes such nonsense? !
Xu Chengyi even doubted how Zhang Jiaojiao could get into Capital University with her brain.
Oh, she must have been lucky to have a mother who is the academic director of the best high school in the provincial capital.
Xu Chengyi was very reluctant, but he still climbed down from the upper deck, picked up his luggage and Zhang Jiaojiao's luggage, said goodbye to Shen Moer and others, and went to find Zhang Jiaojiao.
It is said that the police asked her to stay in the staff compartment first. If Xu Chengyi did not go, a crew member would come to pick up Zhang Jiaojiao's luggage.
Zhang Jiaojiao was drugged and needed to rest. Of course, the police also needed to contact her family and hand her over to someone they could trust.
Xu Chengyi knew her after all, so he did not say that he would ignore her at this time.
It was Zhou Ping'an's first time to go away from home, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, I'm a man. Men won't be targeted by traffickers."
Liu Yinshuang glanced at him: "That's not necessarily true. Some places will buy men to do hard labor, dig illegal coal kilns, or cut open their stomachs and remove their kidneys."
Zhou Ping'an immediately hugged his weak self tightly: "It's impossible, Sister Yinshuang, don't scare me. The coal kilns are all owned by the state. How could there be illegal coal kilns? Why would they cut open their stomachs and remove their kidneys? Is this some kind of perverted murder method?"
Liu Yinshuang was choked by the question, and after a long time she squeezed out a sentence: "Anyway, remember that men can also be deceived and cheated, don't take it lightly!"
Zhou Ping'an: "Oh."
The world outside is so scary!
Shen Moer hugged the young lady with a small pearl hanging on her eyelashes, and looked at Liu Yinshuang thoughtfully.
It seems that the future is not all good.
In the future, there will be illegal coal kilns that recruit illegal workers, and there will be perverts who cut people's kidneys and intestines?
Zhou Pingan asked Shen Moer curiously: "Sister Moer, I heard that you were beaten into a pig head by those traffickers when you were one against three?!"
Shen Moer raised her eyes: "I don't know how many immoral things these people have done. Beating them a few times is a piece of cake."
Zhou Pingan silently raised a thumbs up.
Not long after, the train slowed down again, and a long whistle sounded, and the Capital Station arrived.
Shen Moer bought a map at the station, asked the staff for the route, and then several people carried their luggage and walked out.
"Fortunately we have mailed our luggage, otherwise it would be really expensive to carry so many bags." Liu Yinshuang sighed.
Shen Moer's eyes flickered, but she didn't respond. She smiled and pointed to a tricycle taxi not far away and asked, "Is this what the staff just mentioned? It's a little small. We have to split into two to fit them."
It's inconvenient for them to take the bus with their children, especially the route from the train station to Capital University. According to the staff, it's so crowded that the feet can't even touch the ground. It's okay for adults, but they're really worried that a child as young as Xiao Liangliang will be squeezed to death.
Although taxis are a little expensive, at least they are comfortable to sit in.
In fact, the taxi company also has four-wheeled cars for rent, but you need to call the taxi company to make an appointment before taking a taxi, which is very troublesome and of course more expensive.
This three-wheeled taxi is a little more affordable. The taxi company has deployed a batch of them near the railway station, which are specially used to serve the passengers, but not many people are willing to spend money to take this.
Several people rented two cars and asked someone to take them directly to the guesthouse near Capital University.
With the opened letter of introduction, they quickly checked in and asked for two double rooms.
When going through the formalities, the waiter was a little curious: "It's still early before school starts, why are you here so early?"
Shen Moer smiled: "It's not easy to get into college, and we all want to come here early to adapt to the environment. We also met several classmates who came early on the train. It is estimated that you will have students staying here one after another in the next few days."
After a pause, she patted the girl in her arms and said, "Besides, I have a family to support, so I must come here early to settle in."
The waiter glanced at the child in her arms: "That's true."
After going upstairs and putting away the luggage, Liu Yinshuang collapsed directly on the bed: "I have to be paralyzed for a while. Although I can lie down on the train, the bed is too uncomfortable. My waist and back hurt."
"It's okay, you take a rest first, I'll call you when we go to eat."
Shen Moer fed the baby, carried the sleeping little kid to Shen Shaoyuan, and then went downstairs again, looking for the waiter just now.
"Do you want to buy a house nearby?"
Shen Moer nodded: "My father is coming to help me take care of the child, so I must find a place to live outside. I originally wanted to rent one, but my father wants to buy one. He sold his job in his hometown, and our family has some savings, so I thought that if I pooled the money together, maybe I could buy a house directly."
The waiter had a good impression of Shen Moer. Thinking that it was not easy for a lesbian with such a young child to be admitted to Capital University, she also helped her analyze the situation carefully.
"If you had come to the capital a few years ago and wanted to buy a house, it would not have been easy. Everyone lived in a very crowded house and few people wanted to sell their houses. But in the past two years, many people have been rehabilitated, and quite a few people are selling their houses. You can ask the comrades in the neighborhood committee. Since you are from Capital University and you really have practical difficulties, the comrades in the neighborhood committee will definitely help you. Also, you can ask around the teachers' dormitory of Capital University. I heard that an old professor sold his house and returned to his hometown a while ago. Well, I heard that although he was rehabilitated, he didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore. He was old, so he simply chose to return to his roots."
The waiter sighed a few times, thought for a while, and said, "I'll ask for you when I get off work. My home is not far from here. It's not far from here. I'll ask if anyone wants to sell it to you."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Thank you so much."
She took out a handkerchief from her bag and said, "I used to work in the Southern Province Embroidery Factory. This is the machine-embroidered handkerchief produced in our factory. It is very popular with foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair. I'm giving it to you as a thank you for your help."
The waiter saw that the pattern on the handkerchief was exquisite and elegant, and heard that it was something that foreign businessmen liked at the Canton Fair, so he couldn't let it go immediately: "You are too polite, comrade. Don't worry, my aunt is in the neighborhood committee, I'll ask her to find out for you."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to you. I'll wait for your good news."
