Chapter 37: Sure enough
The woman's figure was about to disappear into the street.
Chi Jing bit her lip and withdrew her eyes. Recite it three times in your heart – be alone. Stand alone. Stand alone.
She was imprisoned for ten years. During the ten years, there was no shortage of doctors of psychology who gave her psychological evaluation, imagery dialogue, behavioral therapy, music therapy, sand table therapy, hypnotherapy... It doesn't help. They were all unanimous in their judgment that her mind had long been twisted.
She is no longer the Chi Jing who has a deep brotherhood and a bright smile and a flying face with her parents. She can watch many adults who have nothing to do with her die in different ways, and sometimes even have a little bit of happiness in her heart.
But. But she couldn't watch a child who was also unrelated to her suffer.
Chi Jing vaguely remembers that she had volunteered for some family tracing networks when she was in college, and ironically her brother was taken away from under her nose by traffickers within a minute of her bowing his head. One day she watched Andy Lau's "Lost Orphans", and she was heartbroken in that bland plot and couldn't cry...
Can't do it! She can't do it! You can't turn a blind eye! Relenting again! Just this once!
"Jade bottle, you go to the yamen to inquire, has anyone lost a half-year-old child in the past two days, and you are waiting for me in the teahouse near there after inquiring." Chi Jing made a decision at the moment, and chased in the direction where the woman disappeared...
The jade bottle hesitated, wiped away the remaining tears, and trotted in the direction of the yamen.
…
Chi Jing quickly caught up with the woman, and watched as she walked into an inconspicuous inn. I looked inside for a moment by the door of the inn, and heard the guy vaguely report "Yellow No. 3 room".
Then the woman turned her head to look out of the door, and she was back in shape, and leaned against the pillar by the door, just avoiding the woman's sight.
After listening with bated breath for a while, the woman estimated that she had gone into the inner courtyard with her fellow men. Chi Jing touched his ear and made sure that the veil had covered his face, and walked in.
"Shopkeeper, but there is still a vacant room?"
"Of course there is a vacant room, of course, this guest officer, I don't know if you want a superior room, a medium room, or..."
"Well, is there a yellow house?" Chi Jing felt that the shopkeeper's attitude immediately became colder.
"It's yellow again... There is still a yellow No. 1 room left. The first few words were muttered in his mouth, almost inaudible, but Chi Jing still heard it.
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", the house of Tianzi is the best first-class room, especially the first number of Tianzi. And the yellow house is the worst inferior room, she pulled the corners of her mouth, this is the national situation of smiling at the poor and not at the prostitute.
"The second and fourth rooms of the yellow font are also occupied?" Chi Jing frowned slightly, Room No. 1 was too far away and inconvenient.
The shopkeeper is well-informed, how can he not know what she thinks in her heart? "The second room and the third room and the fourth room are all occupied, but the third room of the Xuanzi is still empty."
The Xuanzi No. 3 room is usually upstairs from the Huangzi No. 3 room. Dealing with smart people is refreshing, Chi Jing said approvingly in his heart, and at the same time secretly wrote down the name of this inn - well, Qingfeng Inn. Look for this place in the future, so as not to accidentally live in it.
"Shopkeeper, I've always been used to living in a yellow house. Can I trouble you to let the guests of the No. 4 room of the Yellow Character move to the No. 3 room of the Xuanzi..."As he spoke, a piece of two taels of broken silver was gently placed on the table.
In order to prevent her from taking out fifty taels of silver at every turn and smashing people, the jade bottle put a lot of broken silver in her purse with good intentions...
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Stretched out his hand and held the two taels of silver firmly in the palm of his hand, grinning every wrinkle on his face with flattery: "This guest officer, wrap it on me." ”
If you have money, how can you make the devil grind? Sometimes it can also make the grinding ghost.
…
The baby's intermittent cry came from the neighborhood, and Chi Jing sat in the untidy yellow No. 4 room, playing with the teacup while thinking about what to do.
The child was probably hungry.
After a long time, the crying stopped, the woman was not breastfeeding, and she was a little more sure that this was not a mother and child.
Human teeth rarely act alone, and there must be connectors. When the connector comes, it will be even more difficult to save the child.
Hypnotize her? No, after a short contact with her, she had already found that this woman was extremely defensive, and the hypnosis must be time-consuming and laborious, and the hypnosis may not be successful. She could only quickly hypnotize those ordinary people who were not mentally guarded and undetermined, and this time she was not sure.
Rush in and snatch the kid away? No, now the child is in her hands, like a hostage.
Kill her! Anyway, this kind of person deserves to die a thousand times and a hundred times! Chi Jing's killing intent suddenly rose, but he was vetoed by himself again. This is even worse, it will definitely hurt the child.
What to do, what to do.
The child's voice began to weaken, and gradually fell silent. Are you tired of crying?
"Who?" The woman in the neighboring room asked alarmedly. Although the sound insulation was not very good, Chi Jing relaxed his steps and pressed his ears to the wall to eavesdrop. She heard someone knocking on the door of the yellow No. 3 room.
"Daughter-in-law, it's me." Outside the door was a man, his tone a little provocative.
"Who is your daughter-in-law?" The woman said coldly, because there was no baby's cry, and because Chi Jing was close to the wall, the sound sounded clearer than before.
"You are my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law is you." The man outside the door became more and more improper.
"There's no such thing as your daughter-in-law here." Woman.
"What about my child." The man was not annoyed, and continued to ask through the door.
"The child is asleep." With that, the door opened. Chi Jing was stunned. Is this a code for a long time?
"Have you been fed any medicine?" The man walked into the yellow No. 3 room, and there was no frolicking in his deep voice.
"Don't worry, I just fed it, at least I have to be quiet for half an hour." The woman said, "Have you brought any money?" ”
As she expected! Chi Jing glared at the wall hatefully, although he was already sure that the child was stolen by them, but when he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but be full of anger.
"Brought it, can you be missing? How did you get this this time around? The man said as he unbuttoned the child's clothes and carefully examined the child's body.
"I passed by Dongzilin yesterday, and there was a carriage in the forest, and the people in the carriage and the people around the carriage were all dead, and the smell of blood was so strong that it made me angry. When I was about to leave, I vaguely heard the child's cry, so I got into the carriage and searched carefully, hey, finally I found that the baby was tied under the carriage. ”
Of course, she had already taken possession of the belongings in the car and on the child. The woman's brow was smug, and she weighed the silver in her hand, and seemed a little dissatisfied. "Okay, I'm six, you're four, why is the number wrong?"
After confirming that the child's limbs were complete and generally healthy, the man neatly changed the child into another set of clothes made of coarse cloth, and replaced the swaddling clothes that had wrapped the baby.
After skillfully doing all this, the man's voice began to be indecent again: "I'll give you the rest when I make a move, I've been a little tight lately, good sister, you are tolerant and tolerant..."
"Humph! Liu Ergou, did you gamble and lose? The woman snorted unceremoniously.
"Frustrated in the casino, Sister Li Hua, my good sister, you make me proud of my love scene~ Anyway, there is still half an hour~" said a pair of hands and became restless.
"Hmph, dead ghost, don't come to this set... Hmm, hmm—" The woman half-pushed, half-pushed, and half-catered to it.
