Chapter 265: Life History (2)
The man was reading a book, and he looked at her through the lens of his glasses, and then took out ten dollars and put it in the rice bowl, his eyes full of concern.
"Thank you, uncle." Rui Qianman bowed to the man with glasses, and then continued to turn to the next person.
"Little sister, you were trafficked, right?" The man with glasses suddenly stretched out his hand and asked by secretly tugging at the corner of her clothes from underneath.
Rui Qianman looked back, she didn't know how to answer, because she had never heard of the word "trafficking" in her world.
"Do you live with bad people? A few of those bad guys? They're all grown-ups. The man in glasses asked again.
She thought about it, and suddenly remembered the hand that Scarred Face had put down her neck, and for some reason, she was terrified of that hand.
Rui Qianman nodded.
The man with glasses looked around, and he took out another ten dollars and put it in her rice bowl.
"You keep asking for money, and when the time comes, your uncle will look for you, and your uncle will take you away from those bad guys." His voice was small, small, like a mosquito humming.
Rui Qianman didn't think much about it.
At noon, she ran to the corner to find the little leader, and the little boss took the money from the rice bowl, leaving only two or three steel plates, and then stuffed her with a white-flour steamed bun with a chopstick pickle stuffed in the middle of the steamed bun.
"Go ahead!" He said.
Rui Qianman nodded, and was about to run away, but was stopped by the little leader again.
"Did a man talk to you just now?"
"Hmm."
"What did he say?"
"He asked, how old am I, what about my father, and what about my mother?" I don't know why, Rui Qianman subconsciously came up with such a sentence.
This sentence is actually an answer below, which is repeatedly memorized by Scarface when training children. Anyone who can't memorize it or memorize it fluently will be beaten by him.
"How did you answer?"
Rui Qianman gave the "standard" answer that Scarface had taught.
"My father is sick, and my mother brought me to the train station to ask for food."
"Well, yes, let's go!" The little boss relented and waved at her. He turned around, took out two bills from the money Rui Qianman begged for, and walked into the small supermarket next to him to buy cigarettes.
Rui Qianman took the steamed bun and ran away, her heart was pounding, and the soles of her feet were unstable, and she fell when she turned a corner, and the steamed bun fell to the ground, rolling towards a pool of black dirty water in the distance.
She hurriedly climbed out to chase the steamed buns, she didn't want to gnaw on something that was soaked in dirty water and smelly and chewy.
But the steamed bun rolled fast, she was hungry, and she had been begging all morning, so she was tired, and she could only chase and watch the steamed bun rush towards the edge of the dirty water.
Fortunately, the steamed bun was broken, and when it was about to roll into the dirty water, it suddenly split in half, shook and stopped on the ground, but the pickles in the middle were scattered.
Rui Qianman ran over, she picked up the steamed bun, and carefully tore off the scalp that had become dirty. She crouched on the ground, trying to pick out a few clean pickles, but just then, a large hand reached over and grabbed her.
Her hand shook, and the steamed bun fell to the ground again, this time falling firmly into the dirty water.
Rui Qianman was startled, raised his head and saw that the person who grabbed him was the man with glasses just now. He made a "shhh" gesture at her, pulled her straight out of the train station, and plunged headlong into a black taxi.
"The Green Pine Hotel in the Development Zone." He said to the driver.
The black taxi let out a roar, then swerved and drove out of the city.
Along the way, the man with glasses didn't speak, and Rui Qianman didn't speak. She didn't know what awaited her, but no matter what, she felt a little relieved as long as she left Scarface, as long as she left his colder and harder hand.
When I arrived at the Qingsong Hotel, the man with glasses quarreled with the driver about the fare. He took Rui Qianman out of the car, but did not go to the hotel. Rui Qianman didn't eat at noon, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
The man with glasses didn't let her eat, he carefully took her by the hand, walked a little down the empty street, and then walked into a coach station. He bought a bus ticket, and the two waited in the cold hall for a long time, and finally waited for the ticket check, and the man with glasses led Rui Qianman into the car.
The car was empty, with few passengers. Rui Qianman's stomach screamed again, and the man with glasses looked at her and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Hmm." She nodded.
The man with glasses looked at his watch: "You wait here, don't go anywhere, I'll buy you something to eat!" ”
He sped out of the car. Rui Qianman leaned her little head against the car window and watched his back from afar. He had a scarf around his neck, which was floating in the wind because he was running so fast.
There was a commissary at the gate of the bus station, and Rui Qianman saw a man standing in front of the commissary to pay for it. At this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound of brakes, and the black car suddenly appeared at the door of the bus station again.
Rui Qianman saw Scarface and several small bosses jump out of the car.
"That's him!" The black car driver pointed at the man with glasses, he was very loud, and with the tailwind, Rui Qianman could hear the roar of the group of people through the car window.
"What about people? What about Lao Tzu's people! Scarface rushed over viciously, grabbed the glasses man by the collar and shouted.
She saw Scarface knock the man with glasses to the ground, and several people rushed up and punched and kicked him.
At this time, her feet suddenly trembled. The engine roared, the doors shut, and the body shook as it slowly drove towards the station gate.
Rui Qianman saw the man with glasses curled up in a ball, and he hugged his head vigorously and whined.
"Where?! Where is it! I have to kill you! She also heard Scarface's angry scream, which was so high and hoarse that his throat burst with urgency.
As the car approached the door, she jerked her head down and got under her seat. The driver honked his horn at the brawler, who stood up and stared at the car, glancing at the window with red eyes.
The car staggered out of the doorway, then accelerated on the empty, cold-winded highway toward a distant land.
There were also people who stopped the car on the way, and some of them saw Rui Qianman sitting alone in the back, so they asked her, "Little girl, where is your adult?" ”
Rui Qianman looked at them, didn't speak, just raised a little finger and pointed at the driver who was driving with his back to the passenger.
The men looked at the driver and stopped talking.
The car ran on the road all day, drove into a city at night, and finally stopped.
Rui Qianman got out of the car in a daze, her stomach was already hungry, and she had no strength in her body.
But she was afraid of adults, and she didn't dare to talk to adults anymore, so she avoided adults, picked up places where no one was around, and finally walked to a garbage can.
She remembered that when she used to follow her grandfather, sometimes when she couldn't get something, her grandfather would pick up something in the trash can to eat, but he would never give her the food he picked up.
Rui Qianman looked around and saw that there was no one, she walked to the trash can and rummaged through it.
There was a sour smell in the trash can, and she rummaged through it and found a clear plastic bag, which also contained a few cold and hard xiaolongbao.
As if she had found a treasure, she tore open the plastic bag and stuffed the xiaolongbao into her mouth one by one. Probably because she ate too fast, she choked and rolled her eyes.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly floated over and stopped in front of Rui Qianman.
