Chapter 53: You're a lemon, aren't you?
Tang Xiyu chased the thief all the way forward, and chased her into a sparsely populated alley, she was already tired and out of breath.
The thief in front of him was not much better than her, and it was obvious that he was struggling to run.
"You! Hold it! Give me my bag back! β
Tang Xiyu held his breath and chased forward.
When the thief saw Tang Xiyu chasing after him, he was afraid that he would be caught by her, so he hurriedly ran forward.
One of his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground with his bag.
Tang Xiyu saw that it was a good opportunity.
She rushed forward, pinned the thief underneath, and snatched her bag back.
I rummaged through my bag, but fortunately nothing was missing.
The thief who fell to the ground struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to run, but Tang Xiyu was quick and grabbed him: "Grab my things, and you still want to run?" It's certainly not the first time I've seen you like this! Walk! Come with me to the police! β
It stands to reason that with Tang Xiyu's strength, he can't completely subdue an adult man.
But this thief's body was too thin, he felt like he had been malnourished for a long time, and he didn't have much strength on his body, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't trimmed it for a long time, covering half of his face.
As soon as he heard that he was going to the police station, the thief was very panicked and became more and more excited to break free.
Tang Xiyu grabbed his clothes and didn't let go: "Are you an adult?" You started grabbing things at a young age, do your parents know? You have to go to the police station with me today! β
In the middle of the tear, the thief's sleeve was suddenly pulled off.
With the sound of the cloth tearing, Tang Xiyu had an extra rag in his hand.
Due to inertia, she almost fell to the ground and took a few steps back to her feet.
The thief, on the other hand, was not lucky, he fell to the ground again, curled up on the ground for a long time without getting up.
To be honest, seeing him like this......
Tang Xiyu is quite distressed.
He is so thin, maybe he really has some unspeakable hardship, so he came out to grab something.
Forget it, I didn't lose anything anyway, so let's let him go for the time being.
"I won't call the police this time, and don't do this kind of thing again."
Tang Xiyu dropped this piece of advice and was about to leave.
Just two steps away, and a little uneasy, she came back again, took out two hundred yuan from her bag, squatted on the ground, and stuffed it to him: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Go buy something to eat, and find a serious job to live well in the future. β
She herself is not rich, and there is only so much she can help him.
Seeing the money, the thief immediately took it and put it in his arms like a baby.
It was also at this time......
Tang Xiyu noticed some deep and shallow scars on his arms, some of which looked like they had been whipped and some of which looked like they had been burned by cigarette butts.
This thief ......
Could it be that when he was stealing, he was beaten?
He doesn't seem to have enough IQ, and he doesn't know if there are anyone else in the family.
Although he had just stolen her things, for some reason, Tang Xiyu still felt a little pity for him.
Tang Xiyu looked up along his scar, but saw that there was a black mole the size of a soybean on his elbow.
Seeing this mole, Tang Xiyu was stunned for a moment.
Because her own brother, Tang Xining, also has the same mole on his arm, and he is also in the same position.
Tang Xiyu looked at the thief.
If her brother was still alive, he would be so old.
Although his hair covered half of his face, he could still vaguely see that his mouth and nose were somewhat similar to her brother's.
Tang Xiyu couldn't believe his eyes.
Tang Xiyu called out tentatively: "Lemon? β
The thief was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head.
She called him by name......
He actually reacted!
Tang Xiyu suddenly became excited, she raised her hand, pulled the hair in front of the thief's forehead, and said a little incoherently: "Xiling! You're lemon, aren't you? β
Seeing Tang Xiyu's excited appearance, the thief's eyes were full of panic and timidity, and he turned around and wanted to run.
I don't know what kind of injury he has suffered that causes him to be so timid now.
But......
After seeing his whole face, Tang Xiyu was almost certain that he was his own brother, Tang Xining.
Although six years have passed, and he has grown from a little boy at that time to a teenager, the appearance between his eyebrows and eyes has not changed at all, but his facial features have been stretched more than before.
She had always thought he was dead, dead in the storm of that year.
She asked people everywhere to inquire about his whereabouts and search for his body, but she never found it.
I didn't expect ......
I'll meet him on the streets here today!
Finally found him, how could she let him go so easily.
Tang Xiyu grabbed his arm and kept speaking to soothe his emotions: "Xiling, don't be afraid, I'm my sister!" I'm your sister Grapefruit! Have you forgotten me? β
"Xining, I won't hurt you, will you go home with your sister?"
Under Tang Xiyu's reassurance, his emotions finally calmed down.
He looked at Tang Xiyu in a daze, didn't seem to know him, and seemed to be a little impressed, and muttered: "Sister? β
Hearing him call his sister, Tang Xiyu almost burst into tears of excitement on the spot: "Yes, it's me, I'm your sister." β
Tang Xiyu took his hand and looked at the wound on his arm with some distress.
I really don't know what kind of life he has lived all these years.
A big boy, who is so thin that there is only a handful of bones left.
How did the big and small scars on his arms come about?
Who was so ruthless and beat him like this?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiyu's eyes involuntarily reddened, and tears of distress fell straight down.
Tang Xiyu's voice choked and said, "Xiling, let's go, is it okay to go home with my sister?" β
Her tone was indescribably gentle.
may have felt that she would not hurt herself, Tang Xining let her hold her hand and did not resist.
Suddenly......
As if he thought of something terrible, his emotions became agitated again: "No, you can't go!" Theyβthey're going to beat me! β
Seeing Tang Xiling like this, Tang Xiyu felt a pang in his heart again.
They?
Who are they?
Tang Xiyu hugged Tang Xiling all of a sudden, and kept stroking his back: "Don't be afraid, Xiling is here, no one dares to beat you, no one dares!" β
At this moment, Tang Xiyu suddenly heard the sound of a "click" lighter rubbing.
Tang Xiyu looked up, but saw two people in their thirties walking in not far away, with cigarettes in their mouths and just starting a fire.
"Yo, this kid is not shallow, and there are even beautiful women who throw him into his arms."
Seeing these two men and hearing their voices......
Tang Xining suddenly became panicked, and her body was trembling constantly.
He kept stepping back and took out the two hundred yuan that Tang Xiyu had just given him: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, give you money, give you!" β
Seeing Tang Xiling like this, Tang Xiyu knew that he must have been beaten by them a lot, otherwise he would not have been scared like this.
Tang Xiyu protected Tang Xining behind him and looked at the two people: "Who are you?" β
"What person, I still want to ask you who you are, interesting, hurry up! Otherwise...... I can't let you eat and walk around! β
These two people look fierce and vicious, and they are not good people at first glance.
Tang Xiyu has already seen on the news that some traffickers like to find some abducted children, or some people with low IQ, control them, let them beg, or steal.
There are also task indicators every day, and if they can't complete it, they won't be allowed to eat, or even be beaten badly.
Lemon must be under their control, right?
They must have instructed Lemon to steal something, right?
The wound on Xi Ning's arm must have been caused by them!
Perhaps, Ning's current appearance of being so simple and silly is also their "credit"!
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Xiyu couldn't wait to slash these two scumbags.
finally found her only relative, her own brother, and the joy of the rest of her life has not yet been realized, how can she give up her own brother to others again.
No matter how dangerous these two people are......
She also has to work hard to protect the lemon, and she must not let the lemon fall into their hands!
