Su Ruanruan suddenly remembered that this person was also one of the girls who had been kidnapped by the flower thief.
She had delicate features, an oval face, and especially striking, watery eyes.
It was precisely because of her outstanding appearance that she became one of the girls taken away by several flower thieves that night.
She vividly remembers how the bad guys dragged her into the house.
Her skirt was stained with blood, and she looked lifeless, like a fish on the verge of death.
When I saw her again today, her cheeks were thinner, and she looked lifeless.
In just a short period of time, she has become a completely different person.
Su Ruanruan walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
The girl paused as she bent down to pick up the vegetable leaves.
She slowly turned around, looking at the person in front of her with some confusion.
But gradually, a flash of inspiration crossed my mind.
He then carefully examined Su Ruanruan.
“I…I remember you,” she said.
If it weren't for Huo Yan's actions, perhaps she wouldn't remember him.
But losing the constable's belongings back then made such a big fuss that it would be hard not to be recognized.
Su Ruanruan forced a bitter smile. "What a coincidence."
The girl dropped the vegetable leaves in her hand, looking somewhat flustered.
It seems there are many things to say, but this is ultimately not the right place.
"May I invite you to my house for a while?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Ruanruan finally nodded in agreement.
After leaving the market, Su Ruanruan followed in her footsteps.
After walking through several streets and alleys, we finally arrived at Qu'er Alley.
Su Ruanruan remembered this place; it was a place where poor people lived, and the flow of people was very complicated.
She used to come here to sell tofu on the street, but after someone robbed her of her purse, she never came back.
"What's your name?" Su Ruanruan asked.
"Suhe. The lotus flower."
Soho, that sounds really nice.
"What a coincidence, we are from the same family. I also have the surname Su and the given name Ruanruan."
Su He simply responded with a faint sound and looked down at the ground.
Su Ruanruan looked up and saw that there were quite a few people sitting in the alley. They were gathered in twos and threes, and their eyes kept glancing over here.
Some whispered amongst themselves, while others cast frivolous glances, tinged with disdain and a hint of danger.
Su Ruanruan frowned. These people really resembled the gossipy old ladies at the village entrance who loved to talk about other people's affairs.
However, unlike simple gossip, their eyes have an aggressive quality.
Su Ruanruan ignored them and kept starting conversations with Su He, but her eyes became more alert.
Of course, she also noticed that someone was staring at the piece of meat she was carrying.
Before she could react, a strong force came from behind, and the meat in her hand was snatched away.
"Don't run! Thief!"
Su Ruanruan handed the other dishes to Su He and turned to chase after her.
The man ran too fast; Su Ruanruan couldn't catch up at all, panting and sticking out her tongue.
Su He also rushed over, wanting to continue chasing after them.
But Su Ruanruan stopped her, saying, "Never mind, never mind."
Su He was about to cry. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to a place like this."
"I will definitely make it up to you when I have the money."
Su Ruanruan waved her hand and said no, "It's not your fault."
"Miss Su, is this yours?"
When Su Ruanruan heard someone call her "Miss Su," she subconsciously thought they were calling Su He, but then she saw that Su He was also looking at her.
She turned around and saw Jin Yu, dressed as a constable, walking over carrying a knife and a piece of meat.
Su Ruanruan glanced at him, then looked at the thief being trampled under Niu Mang's feet at the alley entrance, and Huo Yan, who was leisurely crossing his arms.
Damn, this is unbelievable, how come he's everywhere?
Qingshan County is neither too big nor too small, but to run into someone twice in one day is truly a twist of fate.
Jin Yu took in Su Ruanruan's expression. He knew it! His older brother must have followed Su Ruanruan when he left today.
But what exactly did he do to that girl?
Your lips were injured like that?
Seeing that Su Ruanruan did not react, Jin Yu waved the meat in front of her again.
"Miss Su?"
Su Ruanruan then came to her senses and took the meat he handed her.
"Thank you, Officer Jin."
Jin Yu smiled faintly and glanced meaningfully at Huo Yan over there.
"It was my elder brother who arrested him. If Miss Su should thank someone, she should thank my elder brother."
Su Ruanruan pouted and said reluctantly, "Thank you, Officer Huo."
Huo Yan scoffed, "Su Ruanruan, you actually still have money to buy meat? Have you forgotten something?"
Even though he spoke cryptically, Su Ruanruan knew he was referring to the IOU.
Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I remember, you don't need to remind me. If there's nothing else, can I go now?"
Before he could agree, Su Ruanruan pulled Su He, who was somewhat surprised, forward.
They entered the third house in the alley. In the courtyard, a woman was washing clothes, and a burly man was shirtless and hammering iron.
The woman glanced at Su He a few times and smiled, "Back early today?"
"Yes, I met a friend."
Su Ruanruan nodded, which was her way of greeting the old lady.
"Auntie, I'll go in first."
Having said that, she opened the door and invited her inside.
Su Ruanruan finally understood that this must be a shared apartment, and Su He was just renting one of the rooms.
The room was simple, but very tidy.
Su He poured a bowl of water for Su Ruanruan.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she said, "There's not much to offer guests at home, please don't mind."
She sat opposite Su Ruanruan and remained silent for a long time.
Tears fell onto the back of her hand, and Su Ruanruan knew she was crying.
