Chapter 32: Red Brick Factory
Many kilometers away, on the outskirts of Lingzi City.
A path winds and winds, separating the farmland on both banks. The road leads to an abandoned red brick factory not far away, and the path is overgrown with weeds that has apparently been little traveled in years.
"Big White...... Big White ......"
A little girl, walking along the road step by step, was shouting something.
The little girl looked like she was six or seven years old, her hair was haphazardly tied with two braids, she was wearing a pink shirt and trousers, her feet were covered with mud, and she was kicking a pair of small sandals.
"Dabai, where have you gone, come out quickly......"
The little girl continued to shout, tapping the weeds on both sides of the road with the slender branch she was holding in her hand.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, an old woman appeared, looking kind-eyed.
She asked the little girl, "Little sister, what are you looking for?"
"I—I'm looking for my family. The little girl replied in a childish voice, revealing a pair of playful dimples when she spoke, which was very cute.
"Who is Dabai?
"Da Bai is not anyone, Da Bai is my big fat pig. The little girl said in a milky voice.
"Dabai is very obedient, we let it out to eat grass during the day, and at night it will go back to the pigsty by itself. But last night, it didn't go back all night, and today the adults asked me to come out and look for it. ”
"Oh, I see. The old woman said with a smile, revealing two large shining gold teeth, "Mother-in-law, I just saw a big white pig in the red brick factory, I don't know if it's the one you're looking for." Mother-in-law, now take you over to look for it and see if it's still there, okay?"
"Wow, thank you, mother-in-law. ”
After saying that, the little girl took the hand that the old woman stretched out, and the old and the young walked forward together.
The mud exterior of the red brick factory has collapsed in many places. A huge chimney stood abruptly, looking eerie and ominous. Several low-rise bungalows, cracked corners and rooftops, climbed with dense vines.
The two went in through the big iron gate of the brick factory, and the old woman led the little girl into a small courtyard and said to her, "You wait here for your mother-in-law first." ”
"Mother-in-law, what are you going to do?" the little girl asked, puzzled.
"I'm going to get something, I'll be back soon, and you don't want to wander around. The old woman told her again and again, and it was not until the little girl nodded that she hurried away with small steps.
The little girl had just walked a long way, and felt a little tired from standing, so she squatted down on the spot and pulled up the dog's tail grass in the corner of the wall one by one.
At this time, suddenly from behind the iron gate of the courtyard, a bald man with a meaty face came out.
When he saw the little girl, he immediately yelled at her viciously: "Hey, what are you doing here!"
The little girl was startled and bounced off the ground.
She looked straight at the bald man who suddenly appeared, and she didn't dare to breathe.
"Hey, what about you, are you mute!" the bald man yelled again, "What are you doing here, trying to steal?!"
"I ...... I...... I'm not, I'm not here to steal...... I'm looking for my sow. ”
The little girl was frightened, she wanted to cry but she didn't dare to cry, and her nose was red.
"What the hell is the sow, don't see it!" replied the man impatiently.
At this time, his face seemed to be full of anger, and his eyes were filled with extremely unhappy eyes.
"In my opinion, you thought there was no one in this place, and came to steal," said the man, gesturing to the gate of the brickyard, "—get out of here, or I'll break both of your legs!"
The little girl finally couldn't hold it anymore, and cried out with a "wow", turned around and rushed out of the brick factory, and ran away without looking back.
A few minutes later, the old woman hurried back.
In each hand, he carried a bundle of hemp rope and several large snakeskin bags, and his face looked impatient.
However, as soon as I entered the door, I found that the little girl was gone, and there was a bald and shirtless man standing in the courtyard at the moment.
She paused for a moment, a look of alarm flashed in her eyes, and then she immediately changed to a smiling face, and said, "Hehe, young man, did you see a little girl who looks like six or seven years old just now?"
The bald man didn't say a word, he stood still, his eyes narrowed and he looked the old woman up and down.
The old woman was a little hairy by his staring, and then she said hesitantly, "Uh...... If you don't see it, forget it, then it won't bother you, I'll go outside and look for it. ”
As he spoke, his body slowly stepped back.
The old woman was only thinking about getting out of here as soon as possible.
Because she felt an extremely dangerous aura from this man's body.
And the point is, I always feel as if I have seen the man in front of me somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw him.
The bald man suddenly grabbed the old woman's arm and said, "Hey, don't be in a hurry, I saw the person you are looking for, and he is in the house...... Hey, hey, hey, come with me, I'll take you to see her now!"
The old woman immediately panicked, she hurriedly shook her arm, and refused: "No need, no need, I remember that there is something urgent." I'll come back to her later!"
The man didn't pay attention, but grabbed her by the hair and dragged her from the yard to the small bungalow.
The old woman felt that her whole scalp was about to be ripped off, and she hurriedly threw away the hemp rope and snakeskin bag in her hand, and reached out to break the few fingers of the man who was pulling her hair.
But no matter how hard she tried, the man's hand did not move.
In this way, the old woman was dragged into a bungalow.
Followed by. The wooden door behind her slammed shut.
The old woman looked nervously around and saw that not only was the door closed, but all the windows were closed, and they were all tightly covered with planks.
And what's even stranger is that it's obviously early afternoon, and it's sunny outside, but inside this room is extremely dark, and there is a hint of seeping coolness in the air.
In a dimly lit corner, there was a large dark sofa with a large mass of broken fabric piled on top of it.
A foreign man leaned on the couch, his head looking at them, his right hand resting on the back of the couch, and he was constantly turning a black mobile phone in his hand.
In this situation, the old woman finally remembered where she had seen the bald man.
- She didn't see the bald man himself, but the photo on his wanted warrant!
To do what she does, she has to pay attention to the information of the police at all times. So I often see some police wanted lists, but the bounty for this bald man is one of the highest she's ever seen in her life.
So what are these evil people doing, selling drugs, or smuggling arms?
She wanted to shout for help, but then she was shocked to find that her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't even make a sound at the moment!
