Chapter 8: Uncle Bald
When Zhang Ying said these words, her voice was very loud.
When everyone around them heard this, they all looked back at her at the same time.
Seeing that my face was not very good, Zhang Ying immediately regained her smile just now, and seeing that the soup next to me was already cold, she scooped me a bowl again.
"Tang Xiaofan, you eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
The way she smiled was like the extreme look just now.
My heart is even more hairy.
Nonsense, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry.
This Zhang Ying, what do you want to do, I don't know her at all, I can barely be regarded as a neighbor with a relationship, how can she be so enthusiastic about me, it's really strange.
I could only say to her, "Well, there is still something going on in my shop, and besides, you are quite busy here, so I won't bother you, or we will talk ...... next time."
As soon as I said this, my wrist was grabbed by Zhang Ying.
Don't look at her as a woman, she has a lot of strength.
My wrist was pinched painfully, and I broke free a few times before I pulled my hand back hard, and as soon as I turned around, Zhang Ying walked behind me with an arrow step.
"It's still early, don't go, I have something to ask you."
After that, she pressed me down on the stool again, and when I saw that the road was blocked, I had to give up.
I took a sip of the soup in the bowl, it was so hot that I took a few breaths.
She was still staring at me with that kind of gaze, so I simply asked her, "Say, what are you looking for me to do, what are you going to talk to me about, I know everything." ”
Seeing that I agreed, Zhang Ying's eyes flashed.
Then, she took a picture out of her pocket and took it to see that it was a man with a fat head, a bald head, and no eyebrows on his face.
His eyes were wide, and there was a murderous aura in them.
I recognized it at a glance, this is the trafficker!
Seeing that I was staring fixedly at the man in the photo, Zhang Ying moved closer to me: "You know him!?" ”
I said, "I've seen him." ”
Zhang Ying's voice trembled: "This person is a human trafficker, do you know?" ”
I nodded: "Of course I know, I saw him once when I was very young, and two days ago, he appeared next to my noodle shop. ”
Speaking of this, I paused: "And, just last night, I met him at the mahjong parlor next door. ”
The woman's hand clenched into a fist and slammed it on the table.
"Mahjong parlor!? Where, you take me to him! ”
Her voice suddenly became thick, and it was as if a fire was burning in her throat.
Looking at her constantly shaking body and gradually neurotic emotions, the customers who sat and ate in the store were surprised, and they stood up and scanned the code to pay, and then left one after another.
I asked Zhang Ying: "This trafficker, how do you know him?" ”
Zhang Ying sobbed, and I saw her crying at me.
Pulling out a tissue and handing it to her, Zhang Ying lowered her head: "My daughter, my poor daughter Xiaohong......"
In the rest of her narrative, I learned how her daughter Xiaohong was gone:
Zhang Ying, a woman, is actually very miserable, her husband is a man who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does all kinds of evil, and within a few months of giving birth to a child, he committed something and was arrested.
While her husband was in prison, Zhang Ying did not divorce.
When her husband came back a few years later, he still did not change his morality, and after drinking heavily, he actually began to beat his wife and daughter.
After many times, Zhang Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore.
One night, she fled with her five-year-old daughter, Xiaohong.
Zhang Ying has no education, and the job to make a living can only be the lowest kind, washing dishes in restaurants, picking up some waste paper, empty plastic bottles and so on after work to sell.
There were very few in the past, and they could barely maintain the living expenses of the mother and daughter.
Life is very hard, Zhang Ying doesn't want to go back, she would rather live a tighter life than being beaten every day.
Every day when she goes out to work, she takes her daughter with her.
This is what she agreed with the restaurant owner, the salary is a little lower, but she will take her daughter with her for dinner. When Zhang Ying finished washing, Xiaohong was playing next to her, and as long as she didn't bother, the boss agreed.
At noon that day, business in the store was very good.
The countertop has been turned over three times, there are still many people queuing outside, Zhang Ying has been washing the dishes for two hours in a row, she is hunched over, tired and has a sore back.
Glancing back at her daughter in the corner, she was holding a doll and having fun.
At this moment, someone called Zhang Ying.
There was another pile of dishes over there, Zhang Ying sighed and opened the curtain and was about to go out, when a man walked in.
The man was bald and had a thick neck.
When she made eye contact with him, Zhang Ying only felt frightened.
The man was dressed in civilian clothes, he was not a staff member of the restaurant, and according to the rules, he was not allowed to enter the back kitchen.
So Zhang Ying blocked the man and solemnly told him that he couldn't come in.
The bald man didn't move forward, but he didn't back either.
He glanced at the back kitchen behind Zhang Ying, and when he saw the children playing in the corner, his eyes froze.
Seeing that he wasn't going out, Zhang Ying stretched out his hand to block him: "I'm sorry, this is the kitchen, please go out!" ”
Only then did the man retract his gaze, he leaned back slightly, straightened the clothes that had been crumpled by the woman, and glanced at Zhang Ying impatiently.
Looking at his departing back, Zhang Ying was a little uneasy.
Turning around, Xiaohong in the corner was playing very obediently, and she said to her daughter: "Xiaohong, don't go anywhere, mom will be back soon." ”
After collecting a basket full of dishes, when Zhang Ying dragged them in, her back and legs hurt.
After washing the pile of dishes and chopsticks, when she turned back again, she found that Xiaohong was gone.
The place where Xiaohong was playing just now was empty at the moment, and there was a naked doll on the ground, which was the one the child was playing with just now.
Thinking of the man's face just now, Zhang Ying hurriedly rushed out.
The people in the restaurant were almost gone, and she looked at every guest sitting down at the remaining tables to find the bald head.
Thinking of her missing daughter, Zhang Ying was anxious.
She rushed out of the restaurant, looking at the bustling streets, Zhang Ying squatted down and began to cry.
At this moment, Zhang Ying felt that someone was pulling his clothes from behind.
Looking back, it was Xiaohong.
Hurriedly hugged her daughter, she asked where the child had just gone?
Xiaohong said she was thirsty and came out to ask for some water. Hearing this, Zhang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her daughter and was about to go back, when Xiaohong took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Ying:
"Mom, eat sugar!"
It was a peanut candy, Zhang Ying took it and looked at it, and asked her daughter who gave it to her.
Xiaohong replied: "An uncle gave it to me, a bald uncle." ”
