Chapter 22: The Bazaar I
Chaoyan Market is the market center of Yanghe Town, and the villagers from near and far will sell their goods to the market on the double number day.
Due to the proximity of the market to the Xiejiang fishing port, there are also fishing boats from afar that dock here.
Bao Xiyuan looked at Gan Luo, who stopped next to the herb stall, wrapped a sugar gourd in his mouth, and spoke loudly, "Didn't Old Man Yuan teach you to recognize herbs?"
"If he wants to teach me, he just lends me some medical books to read, purely self-taught. Gan Luo pointed to a bundle of tightly tied grass, "What is this name?"
The fence shelf was covered with a layer of gray cloth, on which rows of herbs were neatly stacked, mostly bundles of untreated Chinese herbs, and Ganluo was referring to the bundle on the very edge, which was somewhat inconspicuous.
The aunt gestured and picked up the call, "Indigo." Do you want to buy a girl? Ten yuan a catty, very cheap, not to mention clearing heat, it can also be used as a dye. ”
"Weigh two pounds. Ganluo picked it up, "Is it enough to dye a skirt?"
"The little girl can also dye cloth, Auntie, that's all for you, three or four catties, and sell them to you for two catties. No one has bought this thing in recent years. ”
"Thank you, Auntie. Ganlo didn't know how to dye cloth, but she remembered a book that had a way to dye cloth and wanted to give it a try.
Seeing Gan Luo holding a large bag of grass in his arms, Bao Xiyuan quipped, "You say, straw bale, will this be how it came?"
Ganluo glared, "My sugar gourd!" ”
"Well, I couldn't hold back. Bao Xiyuan bit down the last one, "I'll invite you to eat taro cakes later." ”
"Go now. ”
In the early morning market, the streets are filled with the fragrance of melons and fruits, as well as all kinds of tempting snacks.
"Hold it for me, I'll weigh some flour. ”
Bao Xiyuan took the indigo in Gan Luo's arms, "Sometimes I envy you, no one cares about you at home alone, you can do whatever you want." ”
"I still envy you. Weigh some flour and go to my house later to get mulberry pancakes for you to eat. ”
"Listen to the name, mulberry, oil cake, test product, right?"
"It's not. Ganluo stretched out her hand, she was not as tall as Bao Xiyuan, the other party was 1.65 meters, she was 1.5 meters, the state of the two people was a bit like a little monkey hanging on the neck of a big monkey, Ganluo pulled her hand hard to make her low, "I thought about it just now, I haven't experimented yet." ”
"I don't eat it, what if I'm poisoned!"
"Hey, who ate the essence of the experiment last time? ”
Gan Luo weighed some more fruits, and when he chose the fruits, he glanced back from the corner of his eyes, frowned, lifted the bag and pulled Bao Xiyuan to walk to many places.
From the time they entered the bazaar, they walked two streets, and Ganlo noticed that the old man had been following them on both streets.
At first, she didn't pay attention, after all, it was the entrance of the market, she didn't say anything, and deliberately pulled Bao Xiyuan to change the street, taking the left and left, and the right side and he also changed to the right, it was obvious that they were being targeted.
"Do you know that guy in the back? Don't stop, look sideways at the old man in the brown coat and black pants on the right-hand side. ”
"I don't know. Bao Xiyuan also realized that something was wrong, "He seemed to be following us before. ”
"Gotta get rid of him. ”
The two of them walked hand in hand, carrying things unhurriedly, paying attention to the movements of the people behind them while looking at things.
Gan Luo paid attention to the appearance of the man, with an oval face, a figure of about one meter seven, an age of about fifty to sixty, a short brown coat, black trousers to the ankle, a distance away, and then he couldn't see it clearly, and there was a street corner in front of him that was the bank, and he couldn't help but say:
"There are a lot of people on the street, I don't know if he is alone or with other people, it is not safe to go out of the market and there are fewer people, let's go to the bank in front first. ”
"Good. Bao Xiyuan agreed, and squeezed into the crowd with Ganluo and walked towards the bank.
Just now, the security guard at the gate of the bank happened to come out, Gan Luo and Bao Xiyuan stepped forward to explain the reason, and followed the security guard into the bank together.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Ganluo walked around to the glass door next to the ATM, and looked at the entrance of the street under the cover of greenery, and the man stopped at the entrance of the street and looked in the direction of the bank.
"Uncle, that's the man. Gan Luo saw the security uncle who came over with water on the side, and pointed to the person guarding the street through the glass.
He hadn't left yet, crouching next to the billboard and smoking, looking in the direction of the bank's door from time to time.
"Uncle, can you lend me your mobile phone, I'll call the police. ”
"Thief pig's trotters. The security uncle looked at the squatting man and snorted, handed her the water, and reached out for his mobile phone, "The baby is very clever and ran to the bank." ”
"Did you make it clear?" Bao Xiyuan saw Gan Luo hang up the phone, and went to her side to look at the street.
"To make it clear, the police station is not far from here, and it will be here in a while. Ganluo thought about the man's face, feeling where he had seen it, "I think the more the man looked, the more he felt where he had seen it." ”
Bao Xiyuan rolled his eyes and said casually: "Don't say it's a wanted announcement on TV?"
"Lend me your glasses. Gan Luo hid behind the green plants, sighed towards the glass, raised his sleeve to wipe it clean, took the glasses and put them on, his eyes were a little swollen, but he could see very clearly, the man had a scar at the corner of his eye, a black mole on his chin, and exclaimed: "Just... That's him!"
"There is a reward for reporting, Ganluo, you are crazy for money. Seeing her expression, Bao Xiyuan couldn't help but take back his glasses and put them on and squint, "It seems to be ...... It's a little bit like. ”
"What do you mean by a little resemblance, it's him! It was reported on TV a year ago, the absconding kidnapper, abducting children to death, the one who absconded, remember?"
"Why did he come to S City?" Bao Xiyuan was also shocked, and patted Gan Luo on the shoulder, "Our luck is too good." ”
"He's supposed to be insane poor. The man's face was sallow, his spirit was listless, his trouser legs were muddy, he should have no money and was forced to be in a hurry, so he wanted to start, it just so happened that she and Bao Xiyuan went out alone, two teenage girls, very valuable.
He wanted to eat one big order at a time.
The security uncle was busy, and the two of them hadn't returned the mobile phone yet, so they quickly dialed the phone again to the local police station, and explained that Ganluo was a little excited, "Uncle policeman, how much is the reward?"
"Ten thousand. Stay at the bank and don't leave, don't let him see your face, someone has already been sent here. On the other end of the phone was a relieved voice from a police officer, "It's good that you two haven't had an accident." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Police. Gan Luo hung up the phone, looked around and grabbed Bao Xiyuan's hand and whispered, "Ten thousand, a reward of ten thousand." Five thousand for two of us, and the tuition for the next semester is enough. ”
"Don't get excited, you have to hold on to the goods before you can get the money. Bao Xiyuan calmed down for a moment and said excitedly, "You say, will you give a good citizen award?"
The security uncle saw the two girls hugging each other excitedly, and in his eyes, he seemed to be scared, so he couldn't help sighing: "A good girl is scared like this." ”
Looking at the man squatting at the entrance of the street, he said hatefully: "Kill a pig's trotter with a thousand knives." ”
