Chapter 138 Being Targeted
An Zhixia couldn't hold on any longer, and pinched herself hard again. The sleepiness made her head ache and her teeth ached. But she still had to lie down and squint her eyes to distinguish the footsteps in the corridor under the rumbling train wheels.
Thanks to her studying the functions of the supermarket every night and using her spiritual sense to watch videos, listen to music, and put things away in the supermarket, her facial features and even limbs are much more sensitive than when she first arrived. Although she can't use her spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation as in the novels, she can catch up with half of the martial arts masters and can capture the slightest sound within thirty meters with her eyes closed.
She stuffed a chili pepper into her mouth, and the spiciness instantly refreshed her. She chewed it carefully with red eyes, bearing the medicinal properties bit by bit. The other party was very patient, obviously a repeat offender. He waited for half an hour, and only took action after the on-duty flight attendant inspected it.
A couple in their twenties, dressed simply and neatly, came with a baby in their arms. Soon after they entered the carriage, the woman pinched the baby's leg hard, and the baby started crying. "Comrade, comrade, I'm sorry the baby is very hungry. Do you have any milk powder? We were in such a hurry to catch the train just now that we forgot the baby's diapers and milk powder in the waiting room."
The woman was very skilled in holding the child, her anxious expression was very realistic, and her voice was hoarse with tears. The man also looked honest and dutiful, and kept bowing to her, handing over his work permit: "We are about to arrive at the station, but the child can't wait. She is only two months old and can't go hungry. We can't just let her cry until the next station, can we?"
Everyone waved their hands apologetically. Milk powder is a rare commodity, and it is only used by children and the elderly at home, not to mention carrying it when going out. Besides, it is unacceptable to lose money in the car. Even if everyone is enthusiastic, they can't use milk powder to show off their generosity, right?
The two of them did not stay and continued walking forward. They asked two more groups of people before arriving at An Zhixia's place.
The lights in the corridor were dim. An Zhixia huddled in the upper bunk, covering her head and pretending to sleep. Through the gap in the quilt, her dark eyes could see the expressions of the couple clearly. She secretly placed a mirror on the bunk opposite, which could capture the situation of her brother and Uncle Yang.
She also placed several eavesdropping devices on the ground. These are miniature machines that look like candies and can be attached to the soles of people's feet to record audio and can transmit over a distance of ten meters using Bluetooth.
The couple looked at each other, and the man stepped forward and patted Uncle Yang on the shoulder, then patted An Zhiqiu on the face. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, he still shouted, "Comrade, the child is very hungry. I wonder if you brought any milk powder? She is only two months old. One or two spoonfuls will be enough. Don't worry, we will buy her some."
Then the man's voice changed, and he replied in a hoarse and sleepy voice, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Why talk about money? It's not easy for everyone to be away from home. It's only right to help each other.
Please wait, there are too many things and I don’t know where I put them. I have to look for them now. Please sit down and wait for a while. There is water on the table. Feed the child and stop him from crying. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the man really started to pull out the sacks and check them one by one, asking and answering himself in two different voices from time to time. The woman put her hand in the child's mouth and occasionally answered twice.
The child was really hungry. He wrapped the woman's fingers tightly and made a smacking sound. But because he couldn't suck out any water, he cried softly in grievance and continued to suck hard.
After looking through all the sacks, the man nodded to the woman with satisfaction, rummaged out the change from An Zhiqiu and Yang Sanbo, and was about to reach out to touch An Zhixia.
The woman stuffed the child into the man's arms, grabbed the bag that An Zhixia was holding tightly in her arms, and found more than a hundred yuan from it with satisfaction.
The two of them took out some and put them in their pockets. The man held the jar and whispered to the woman, "I'll go tell the third brother and the others to meet us outside the window of the next stop. If we do this, we can live a good life!"
The woman nodded excitedly, patted the child in her arms and said, "Many people go home for the New Year, let's have a few more children, so we don't have to go out for the next six months. It's a pity that this is a girl, so I can't sell it for too high a price."
The man also smiled evilly and walked over to tease the child, pinching the pink little face. He looked at the child and burst into tears again, laughing happily: "Her mother is so arrogant and looks down on people, but she didn't expect that the child would come to us. The daughter has to pay the mother's debt. The woman is pretty, and the girl will probably be a beauty when she grows up. Why don't you go home and be our son's daughter-in-law and take care of our family. When they get married and have children, we will ask for a dowry from the in-laws."
"The boss is really quick-witted. In the future we will have a relative who is a high-ranking official!" Perhaps this vote was too smooth, and the two couldn't help but imagine the future.
"I'm going to get some hot water," the man shouted, and walked out carrying the pot.
The woman put the child down, broke off a piece of biscuit on the table and stuffed it into the child's mouth, then began to rummage through the sack. She put on the nice clothes, and stuffed milk powder, milk candy, dried meat and other miscellaneous items into the large cloth bag sewn inside her coat and into her fat trouser legs. She actually consumed one-third of the sack of food.
The man stayed for ten minutes before coming back. He greeted people in a very relaxed manner and expressed his gratitude to "Uncle Yang". When he arrived here, he directed and acted for a while before whispering to the woman: "I found out that the station will arrive in half an hour. Brother San and his friends will get off the train first and meet us here. Brother Wu will help us pass out the sacks. By the way," he glanced in the direction of An Zhixia and said, "Send the woman up there as well. She is so beautiful. She will definitely sell for a high price!"
"Well, the child is young and doesn't know how to run away, but she is an adult. If she runs away, won't she expose us all?" The woman was a little scared and said disapprovingly: "This is too risky, why don't we just give up?"
"Women are always fussy. If I wasn't afraid of people getting suspicious, I wouldn't have brought you out! Our medicine is so strong. As long as I fumigate her a few times on time, I guarantee she will get pregnant. If she wants to run away, where can she run without even her clothes?" His vicious look scared the woman, and she didn't respond for a while.
An Zhixia sneered with narrowed eyes, holding the anesthetized crossbow tightly in her hand. She continued to chew rice peppers while listening to the recording from the bug.
It turned out that they had been eyeing her for a long time and had bought tickets for the same train on the same day and at the next stop! It was a pity that they were cautious in their conversation and did not reveal too much information, but from the few words they said, she knew that they were a group of desperate criminals who had done all kinds of business.
She felt a chill all over her body, her mind was working rapidly, simulating countless scenarios, and her palms were sweating.
