Chapter 93
Sanshui Hutong is at the southernmost part of Yunshui County. As the old saying goes, the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is mean.
This saying was originally passed down from the old Beijing city. It is the old pattern of the city in the 1940s. A small city like Yunshui County was built in this way.
This area of Sanshui Hutong is full of low-rise houses with thatch and moss growing on the roofs. The residents are a mixed crowd. There are large courtyards where the families of small factories in the county live, such as sugar factories and match factories. There are also peddlers who collect waste products and pull carts to go door to door, and craftsmen who sell their skills on the overpass. There are all kinds of people coming and going. Xu Xiangqian held an umbrella and supported the old lady in the remote alley, walking further and further away.
The alleys were so winding that even Big Head Brother, a local born and raised in the area, got lost. Xu Xiangqian couldn't help but feel lucky that he listened to the old man and quietly scattered beans on the road instead of lime powder as a mark, otherwise the lime powder would have been washed away by rain as soon as he left.
The old lady, with white hair, held Big Head Brother's hand tightly all the way, asking questions with a kind face.
"Girl, where are you from in Yunshui County? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"What do your parents do? If you don't go home, won't they look for you?"
"Haven't you promised them?"
"Girl, don't be shy. Men should get married when they are old enough and women should be the head of the family. I have several grandchildren, all of them are good kids. I'll introduce them to you."
The old lady cried and acted pitiful at the train station, but when she arrived at Sanshui Hutong, she acted like she was at home. She talked like a machine gun, and her skinny hands like an eagle held Big Head Brother tightly, not letting him pull his hands back.
Big Head Brother was suspicious. The old lady looked over 70 years old. She couldn't walk properly at the train station with crutches. She was trembling when she went down the stairs and needed someone to carry her.
The strength in his hands now was not something that an old lady in her twilight years could exert. According to his many years of experience dealing with bandits, this old lady was either in disguise or a martial artist with many years of martial arts experience.
As he was thinking, he glanced at the old lady beside him. The old lady twitched her lips, revealing a strange and unpredictable smile, and took out a bag from her arms and threw it towards him.
Xu Xiangqian's heart was alarmed and he immediately held his breath, but it was too late. A strange fragrance penetrated into his nostrils. In his heart, he cursed the old woman for not following martial arts ethics. Big Head Brother's hands and feet immediately became as soft as shrimps and fell to the ground.
The old woman laughed twice and whistled into the alley. Two men walked out of the dark alley, one with a scarred face and a burly figure, and the other with a skinny figure and an unremarkable appearance.
The scarred man stretched out his salty pig hand and pinched Big Head Brother's butt twice, very satisfied, "Third Aunt, today's goods are good, big butt and round waist, it looks good for fertility!"
"The buyers downstairs like this kind of goods, damn, it feels really good!"
The skinny man couldn't help squatting down and rubbed Big Head Brother's "chest" back and forth twice.
Big Head Brother: "..."
Human trafficker, I'm going to fuck your master!!!
The third aunt saw that he was looking at the aftertaste, her old face wrinkled up, and she said, "Hurry up and drag the goods back to the cellar. If you delay me from making money, I will peel off your skin!"
The skinny man let go of his hand in dismay, and gave a look to the burly man next to him. The two dragged Big Head Brother back to the cellar like a pig, tied his hands and feet, stuffed rags in his mouth, threw him in a corner, locked the cellar door, covered it with firewood, whistled, drank and ate pork head meat.
In the middle of the night, the third aunt and the two vendors drank two jars of wine, and were drunk and staggering. There were snoring sounds in the yard.
Suddenly, a few cuckoo calls were heard outside the wall. After two cuckoo calls, the yard became quiet, and the snoring did not stop at all.
In the darkness, several nimble figures climbed up the wall, landed lightly in the yard, and patrolled the front yard vigilantly, and searched the backyard, and found two sets of wet footprints at the entrance to the cellar.
Gu Shian rushed behind him and made a gesture, and the two young men held their guns and rolled over and stopped at the door of the cellar.
One of the young men accidentally touched the tilted wine jar under his feet, and the wine jar spun around. The snoring Third Aunt suddenly jumped up, hanging on the beam like an upside-down old bat, hunched over, opened her skinny hands, and rushed towards the crowd with murderous intent.
The police officer who was closest to her had just started working for a few days and had never seen such a scene. Seeing the Third Aunt rushing towards him, the blood in his body seemed to have solidified and he couldn't move.
"Scar brother, the cops are coming!"
"Run!"
The drunken scarred face and the skinny little man woke up and tried to run away in the chaos, but were caught by the surrounding police comrades.
Other comrades opened fire to rescue them.
"Boy, this day next year will be your anniversary!"
The third aunt laughed twice, and with a flick of her wrist, a cold blade appeared at her fingertips. She saw that the sharp blade was about to cut the neck of the little policeman.
The third aunt closed her eyes, and was about to enjoy the pleasure of the hot blood spurting, when she was kicked in the abdomen by a sharp foot. She staggered a few meters away, twitched a few times, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood. Before she fainted, she could only hear a cold voice, "Keep an eye on him, don't let anyone die."
"..."
On a dark rainy night, the cellar door above her head was opened.
Xu Xiangqian, who was lying in the cellar, regained consciousness. Hearing a rustling sound from above, he thought it was the two perverts trying to take advantage of him. He was so angry that he grimaced, waiting for the two bastards to come in and bite them to death.
But when he looked up, he saw a familiar handsome face.
"Woo woo!"
Old customer, you're finally here!
Big Head Brother got excited and twisted like a fish. The big bun on his chest fell to his waist. The skinny man who was handcuffed and identifying the crime scene almost dropped his eyes.
"This is terrible. This woman's breasts fell off!"
"..."
The case of the missing young girl, which had troubled the people of Yunshui County for several days, was finally solved.
The county public security bureau launched a lightning strike, starting with the three big fish they caught, and soon solved several related missing cases. This third aunt was originally from a bandit village in the south. After liberation, the bandit village was wiped out, and the third aunt was arrested and ran to Yunshui County, where she recruited several men and started secret trafficking activities. In the past few years, many girls have fallen into her hands. She pried open the mouths of the scarred and skinny men, and rescued seven or eight girls who were abducted by human traffickers in the county safely. Victims in other counties and cities were also rescued as the human traffickers were arrested one after another.
Because of his heroic deeds, Big Head Brother disguised himself as a woman and infiltrated the enemy, and made great contributions, he was unanimously praised by the comrades in the Public Security Bureau.
The old director came back from recuperation, patted Big Head Brother on the shoulder, and praised him from head to toe in front of Xu's father.
"Old Xu, it's true that a good father likes a good son. Your son Xiang Qian is both wise and brave. He has saved so many girls and families with his wit. He is really a role model for all the comrades in our Public Security Bureau!"
Father Xu's mouth was so happy that it almost reached his ears. He still said modestly, "No, no! Love what you do! It is this kid's duty to serve the people! It was not only Deputy Director Gu's good idea, but also the efforts of all comrades. If it weren't for this bad boy alone, it wouldn't have been possible!"
The old director then remembered Gu Shi'an, and looked around but couldn't find him.
"Yes, where is Shi'an?"
"Deputy Director Gu went home to see his wife and son!"
"Where is Xiang Qian? Why did that bastard disappear too?"
"Xu ran away with him!"
The old director: "..."

The spring rain last night lasted all night. Gu Doudou had some complementary food in the morning, but he couldn't sleep after having a bowel movement. He was clamoring to go out and play.
Lin Yao took her fat son for a few steps, spread a bamboo mat in the room, added a thin quilt, put a small pillow and quilt on it, and let the fat boy play with the big fish and big tiger that he usually played with.
The family waited until more than seven o'clock, but Gu Shi'an still hadn't come back.
Zhang Cuilan sighed.
"No more waiting, let's go cook." If they wait any longer,
they will be late for work.
"Dad!"
Gu Doudou raised the big tiger in his hand and said in a baby voice.
The old father was not at home these days, and the little fat boy missed him very much, and he would miss him several times a day.
"Dad hasn't come back yet, let's eat first."
Lin Yao blew on the egg custard in her hand, and said so, but she turned her head and looked outside several times. She would miss someone even if he didn't come back.
The sun was bright after the rain. Zhang Cuilan cooked corn porridge and heated up the leftover noodles from last night. After the family ate a bowl with salted radish, some went to work and some went to school.
Deputy Director Gu was busy solving a case, and there was no one to take care of the little kid at home, so Lin Yao took a day off to stay at home.
It rained last night, and the vegetable garden was sticky and wet, with many young grasses sprouting. Lin Yao pulled out the grass and loosened the ground with a hoe. While working, the big orange dog squatted by the vegetable garden, licking his paws for a while, and then ran out to catch the bees collecting honey in the vegetable garden.
Lin Yao saw it and taught it a lesson.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Can you catch bees? Be careful not to get stung by bees, or your mouth will swell like a pig's head."
The big orange dog meowed, as if it understood, and took the nest to the corridor, where it lazily sat in the sun.
Lin Yao continued to loosen the soil in the vegetable field. As he hoeed, Deputy Director Gu rushed into the house. This guy hadn't slept all night. His narrow eyes were full of bloodshot. He stood there with a pair of panda eyes. His police uniform was so dirty that it was unbearable to look at. He was obviously a wolf, but he was still so attractive. Lin Yao rushed over and tears fell.
"Bastard! Why did you come back so late? If you don't come back, my son and I will not want you."
"Well, it's my fault. I'm sorry. I won't do it again in the future."
Since someone apologized, Lin Yao also forgave him generously.
Gu Shian came back, washed his hands, and hugged his fat son. Although he was dirty, the little boy didn't mind and rode on his father's neck and laughed happily.
Lin Yao boiled a pot of hot water, coaxed the fat son to sleep, and rushed Gu Shian to the shower room to take a bath.
Gu Shian took a bath and fell asleep on the bed. He slept until noon. Lin Yao went into the room to see if he woke up, but he was hugged by someone.
