CHAPTER XVII

Outside the car window, the drizzle, the huge purple hibiscus flowers stained with rain and dew, reverently and gently hung their heads, and the slightly wet purple streamers were almost blind.

The first time Mei Ran knew this kind of flower, it originated from the "Medical Forest Compendium": hibiscus, white flowers, lung fever, cough and vomiting blood should be used, and lung carbuncle should be cured, and the work of dilution can be supplemented by sweetness.

It is better to have a white color and no impurities, but she prefers this bewitching purple flower, which reminds her again of the lavender dancing all over the mountains under the cool breeze of the moon in Provence......

It's a pity that the hibiscus blooms and sets, and it will never wait for the gentle moonlight.

"Do you know what the flower language of hibiscus is?"

Mei Ran was stunned for a moment and shook her head slowly.

The man chuckled, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be a faint purple light shining under his deep eyes, "Gentle persistence." ”

She didn't dare ask him what that meant.

Fortunately, at this time the train reached the next station, many people began to take their luggage, noisy, and after five minutes, the people around changed places, and the carriage was more crowded than before, and even the aisles were full.

The attendant appeared with a small cart and shouted loudly, "melon seed drink mineral water, beer peanut eight-treasure porridge", and when he arrived at this carriage, it all became "Come on, come on, put away your feet!" ”

Fu Shijin didn't sleep very well last night, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, Mei Ran didn't dare to peek at his sleeping face generously, so she could only occasionally glance at him by her spare eyes.

There were also two people on the other side, an old lady with silver hair and a blue cloth shirt, and a short-haired woman in her early thirties, holding a small baby in her arms.

The old lady accosted the woman, "Girl, are you going home with the baby or are you going?" Where do you stop? ”

The woman didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, and answered casually with a sentence or two.

"I see that this little baby looks smart, and he bites his little finger when he sleeps, look at this saliva, he must be smart when he grows up!"

The woman hurriedly turned around, and the child in her arms suddenly cried loudly for some reason, with her mouth wide open, her voice sharp, and she cried hysterically.

Mei Ran looked sideways at the person next to her, and saw that he was just frowning lightly and didn't open her eyes, she looked at the other side again, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

If the child cries like this, won't the mother coax it?

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, "Girl, you can't let the child cry like this, you see that his little face is bruised from crying," she sighed again, "You young people, most of you can't bring children, come, hug me, I'll help you coax ......"

The woman's face suddenly became full of vigilance, as if the hen had instantly erected its feathers, but the child cried even harder, almost out of breath, causing much dissatisfaction among the people in the carriage who were on lunch break, and she seemed to struggle for a long time before she handed the child over.

The old lady was really experienced, and after coaxing for a while, the child stopped crying, and grinned and "giggled".

"Thank you." The woman immediately took the child back.

"Ahem, what's the matter!" The old lady waved her hand, "How old is your baby?" ”

The woman's attitude was not as stiff as before, "It's been more than four months. ”

She took the bottle out of her bag and fed it for the most part, and after a while, the baby fell asleep in her arms again.

"Hehehe," the old lady laughed, "it's still a little milk doll, how cute!" ”

Mei Ran stared straight at the little red dates that the old lady had just teased him in the child's hand, and then looked at the woman's lukewarm appearance, clenched her fists hard, and her nails dug deep into her palms.

There is not much time left, the aisles are full of people, and the mobile phone is out of battery again, all of which are so coincidental.

Fu Shijin suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve and immediately opened his eyes.

Mei Ran leaned into his ear and whispered, "Can you borrow your phone?" ”

didn't ask anything, Fu Shijin directly handed over the phone, and then he saw her dial 110, and a trace of surprise quickly flashed on his face.

The phone was quickly connected, and Mei Ran said in fluent English, "Hello...... I suspect that someone has illegally abducted and trafficked children......"

She looked at it again, and when she saw that the woman didn't react, she continued.

Hearing this, Fu Shijin also glanced at the other side, the woman really looked evasive and nervous, in order to avoid startling the snake, he quickly retracted his gaze.

Mei Ran has tried very hard to calm herself down, but her voice is still shaking, and the English pronunciation of the guide zhì is a little vague, "Yes, on the D8463 train from S City to Xijing City, I just heard that she will get off at the next station, and now there are about ten minutes left before arriving at the station......"

It was the first time she encountered such a thing, and it was inevitable that she would be nervous. Of course, she can also choose other ways to hide people's eyes, such as texting or going to other cars, but time does not allow it.

If it was really an abducted child, if he was really taken away by the woman at the next stop, Mei Ran couldn't imagine the consequences.

"honey," Fu Shijin chuckled and leaned over, touched her slender wrist, slid his slender fingers down, gently grasped her trembling palm, and he also said to her in English, "Don't be too nervous." When the flight attendant checked the ticket before, I inadvertently glanced at it, and her destination was the terminal Xijing City. ”

The man's voice was slightly cold, and it sounded like there was an inexplicable power that reassured people.

Mei Ran exhaled slightly, repeated his words to the other side, and after getting a reply, she hung up the phone.

At this time, the woman opposite suddenly looked over, Mei Ran's eyes opened slightly, and the tips of her heart were almost pinched.

Fu Shijin lightly covered her eyes with his hand, turned around slightly, leaned his head on her shoulder, and covered the inquiring gaze with an intimate action similar to that between lovers, "Don't be nervous, I've always been there, huh?" ”

The tail note is soft, like a soft feather gently brushing the roots of the ear.

Mei Ran's face was also brushed, and it quickly turned red to the root of her ears.

More nervous.

She wore a sleeveless chiffon shirt, and the man was so close that his face was almost against her bare skin, and his slender legs were close to hers...... Mei Ran's heart trembled with the gentle breath that was close at hand, and she couldn't help herself.

Two hours passed a long time, but fortunately it arrived.

The woman seemed to be relieved to hold the child, but she didn't expect to be stopped by two men who showed her ID as soon as she got out of the car, with a desperate face.

Mei Ran went with the group to make a note.

Hindsight, she found that her hand had been held, and her palm was so warm and powerful, and she secretly bent the corners of her lips.

After making the interrogation records, because they still needed to check whether the interrogation records were consistent, the two had to stay and wait, and the person in charge of receiving them was a young girl.

"The woman's full recruitment, the child was bought back by her husband from the trafficker for 20,000 yuan, and she was going to send it back to her hometown to raise it first, but she was afraid that the child would cry on the way, so she also put sleeping pills in the milk powder......

"But I'm curious," she said, looking at Mei Ran, "how do you know she's not the child's biological mother?" ”

Fu Shijin also seemed to be a little curious, and also looked over.

"I heard her say that the child is only more than four months old, and according to the general inference, the child can basically distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar environments when he is six months old, can respond to changes in external stimuli, and perform simple actions such as sitting and holding."

Mei Ran glanced at the man next to her, "That child can already hold a red date tightly, it must be at least six months old, I think, any mother will not be wrong about how many months her child is born, right?" And at that time, she expressed very obvious tension and anxiety. ”

The young girl was amazed, "You've been so observant, it's incredible!" If it weren't for you, there might have been another family facing the misfortune of losing a child, and you saved ......"

"This is what I should do," Mei Ran lowered her eyes, her long black eyelashes covering the strange look under her eyes, "Every child should grow up safely and healthily by their parents' side." ”

Fu Shijin looked at her, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, someone from inside came out again, "It's no problem, sign your name and go." ”

Mei Ran signed her name, and the young girl suddenly came over mysteriously and asked, "Is your Weibo name 'think about it'?" ”

"How do you know?" Mei Ran was surprised.

"Did you go to Xinjiang in June and take a picture under the poplar forest?"

Mei Ran remembered that she did put such a photo on Weibo, but it was too hot at that time, and she covered her face with a scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes, "How did you recognize me?" ”

The girl smiled proudly, "When you just bent down to sign your name, I saw that the tattoo on your chest was a red plum, I am a big fan of yours, and I used to ask my colleagues from the identification department to help me enlarge that photo......"

She glanced up at the handsome man with outstanding temperament not far away, "Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you, but don't let my male god wait too long!" I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day! ”

Mei Ran was confused.

When I came out, it was already dark, and it was still dripping with a light rain, and the road was wet. After the two of them had eaten, Mei Ran glanced down at her watch, it was past nine o'clock.

They missed their destination and could only stay in Xijing City for one night and return to City A tomorrow.

After making several phone calls in a row, I was told that the room was full, and it turned out that there was a grand expo in Xijing City in the past two days, and the slightly larger hotel rooms were booked out a month ago.

What's more coincidental is that today is still Tanabata, and it is a weekend, so that even small and medium-sized hotels are not immune to being ...... by eager couples

In the end, the two walked into a family hotel, and the little girl at the front desk asked while chewing gum, "There is only one double bed room and one double standard room left, which one do you want?" ”

Mei Ran asked, "Are there no single rooms?" ”

"Nope."

Mei Ran said helplessly, "Then let's go." ”

The little sister at the front desk raised her head, under the colorful oblique bangs, the face looked unexpectedly young, she glanced at the two of them, and her eyes fell on Fu Shijin, "Handsome guy, what I have left here should be the last two rooms, really don't think about it?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, a young man and woman pushed the door in, complaining that most of the city was full in the rain, and then ordered the only double bed room.

"Well, there's only one room left."

When Mei Ran hesitated, a long hand stretched out from behind her and handed over a card, "We want it." ”

"Give me your ID."

"Huh? Oh! ”

Mei Ran was still in a trance, the man had already taken the room card and led her inside.

She stared blankly at the sign hanging at the door of the room, and said softly, "Fenglin Evening Hotel?" ”

"How?"

"No," Mei Ran bit her lip, "just remembered an ancient poem." ”

He received a Western education, so he should have rarely dabbled in classical Chinese poetry, right?

The man stood under the lamp in the corridor, his body was as long as jade, he had one hand in his trouser pocket, the soft light made his facial outline look a little blurred, but the cold and deep voice sounded exceptionally clear, "Is it the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Mountain Walk"? ”

There was a crisp "gurgle" from the bottom of Mei Ran's heart.

Fu Shijin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Far up the cold mountain stone path slopes, there are people in Baiyunsheng." Parking Sitting...... The maple forest is late, and the frost leaves are red in February. ”

"I see," he nodded, "it's interesting." ”

"You seem nervous, afraid to share a room with me?"

"No," Mei Ran shook her head, "I trust you. ”

The black forehead hair covered the smile that flashed in the corner of the man's eyes, "Trust me what? ”

"You are a gentleman."

He glanced at her meaningfully, swiped the card to open the door and walked in, and turned on the light with a "pop".

Mei Ran's red face was gone, she hung her head, and then heard him say, "I'm not." ”

No? She was a little confused, not what?

Ah, isn't it the right, the man, the king, and the son?
