Section 20 Heidi
Turning the corner, he saw the little girl again.
It was on the way back to the Huang family villa from the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall, every day after finishing homework at the Ye family, watching TV, and preparing to go back to bed, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening, under the street lamp, the black-haired mixed-race girl was wearing tattered clothes, looking over tentatively and hesitantly.
The next time I saw this little girl was three days ago, also in the evening.
Jianghai City is a big city after all, it is almost midnight, although it is close to the suburbs, but this street is not depressed, some shops are still open, there is a very late stall fried noodle truck always parked next to this road, because the other end of the street has a perennial construction team to live, very late, workers will gather here to eat supper. It was also in front of the noodle truck that he accidentally saw the little mixed-race girl, and the little girl also saw him at the same time.
Different from the image of a pink-carved doll more than a month ago, the little girl at this time was wearing a ragged and sloppy dress - Jia Ming could still recognize it, it was Sha Sha's clothes for the little girl - her face was smudged everywhere, and she was still not wearing shoes under her feet, she looked at the road under her feet, opened her hands, and carefully walked around in front of the fried noodle truck, instead of raising her little face to look at the car, twitching her dirty little nose, when she saw Jia Ming, she was obviously puzzled, and then watched Jia Ming go away.
Only those eyes are still as bright and flawless as they were at the beginning.
Jiaming doesn't know why this little girl is the way she is now, judging from the first time I saw this mother and daughter, their family should be quite wealthy, with good clothes, and so many bodyguards, even if they are in a foreign country, if they want to ask for help, they can go directly to the embassy, and besides, although the money that Sasha gave them at the beginning was not much, it is always more than enough to make a transatlantic phone call, why did they get like this? And...... Where is her mother?
Jianghai City has developed rapidly in recent years, and the street has passed, there are several construction sites, but there is also a dangerous building in one place, which is said to be demolished and rebuilt, but for many reasons, it has not been done so far, and now there are often homeless people or beggars who go in to live, look at the little girl's dress, she and her mother are currently living in that building?
is not a person with overflowing compassion, in the years when he was a killer, he has long understood that there is a shortage of people in the world, that is, there is no shortage of people in need, even if he pays his life, how many people can he help? However, when he saw the little girl's eyes, Jiaming couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion, nine years old, or ten years old, he was taken away by someone and became a killer at this age.
The second day, the third day, the two just glanced at each other every night, the little girl always timidly watched the family Mingyuan go, the fourth and fifth days were weekends, he spent the night in the Liu family's villa, and on the Monday night of the second week, he played too late at the Ye family, when he passed the street, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, there were basically no pedestrians on the street, and the fried noodle truck was also ready to close the stall, the little girl stood in front of the fried noodle car, raised her hands and said something to the boss with great difficulty.
Even if you are a genius, it is impossible to learn a foreign language in a month, especially Chinese is recognized as one of the most difficult languages to learn, the little girl is stumbling, and the owner of the fried noodle car is impatient with her, and says loudly: "You girl go away, stay here every day, I don't do good deeds, go away and go away......"
The two were entangled for a while, and the little girl finally understood that there could be no result, turned around and squatted in front of the gutter on the side and cried quietly, she clasped her hands on her knees, her whole body curled up tightly, and looked at this side of the road from time to time, but Jiaming was hiding in the shadows, and she couldn't find it at all. Although it was already summer, the weather had not yet fully warmed up, and it was still cold at midnight, and the little girl's feet were carefully rubbing together.
After looking at it like this for a while, Jiaming finally sighed and walked over helplessly.
Seeing Jiaming's sudden appearance, the little girl raised her head suddenly, as if she wanted to run over, but finally did not act. She thought in her heart that Jiaming was the one who saved their mother and daughter that night, but after all, Jiaming had always denied it.
Walking to the fried noodle stall, Jiaming said, "Master, is there still fried noodle for sale?" ”
"Ah, and, and, you sit, right away, hey, you're just in time, you're about to close the stall."
"Oh." Jiaming nodded, "I want three copies, one pack, thank you." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to the little girl, and suddenly, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she ran towards him and said in English, "Brother......"
"Sit down." Also speaking English, Jiaming asked the little girl to sit on the side, then took off his coat and draped it on the little girl's body, gently wiped the stains on her face, but did not speak.
After a while, the first plate of fried noodles was served, Jia Ming pushed it in front of the little girl, watching her gobble up, Jia Ming stroked her back and asked the fried noodles boss: "Master, does this little girl come here every day?" ”
"Oh, I only came here in the past few days, I look like a foreigner, I seem to be waiting for someone here every day, I didn't wait for yesterday and the night before yesterday, she stayed here until I closed the stall and refused to leave, she kept squatting next to her and crying, alas, pitiful, but I'm also a small business, I can't help if I want to, do you know her, little friend?"
"Oh, it's a distant relative of mine, who just came back from the United States, got separated a few days ago, and now I found her, and I'm going to take her back right away."
"Ah, America, what a place......" The boss gushed about the benefits of the United States, Jiaming didn't want to listen, poured a glass of water to the choked little girl's mouth, and said softly: "Eat slowly." ”
"Hmm...... Thank you...... Brother ......"
"Eat slowly...... What is your name? ”
"I ...... Heidi, my name is Heidi. Tang Dynasty. ”
"Heidi. Tang ...... "Jiaming repeated, sure enough, he was a mixed-race child."
After a while, another plate of fried noodles was also served, and Jia Ming got it done by dividing it by two, and Heidi ate desperately over there, but there was still some left uneaten. Subsequently, under the leadership of Heidi, Jiaming carried the packed fried noodles to the dilapidated building on the other side of the street, and as Jiaming expected, the mother and daughter really lived there.
What Jiaming didn't know was that there were many homeless people or beggars living in the first two years of the dangerous building, but a small half of it collapsed without warning at the end of the year, and then the people who dared to live here were reduced, through the dark and deep corridor, the two went up to the third floor, and a little fire at the end was slightly rippling, and the little girl was about to turn back to talk to Jiaming, but Jiaming, who could see things in the dark, suddenly covered her mouth.
At the end of the passage, the woman's weak struggles and cries for help were heard......
