Chapter Twenty-Five: A Chance Encounter Outside the City
"Xiao Zun!" "Xiao Zun!"
At this moment, two figures ran in the distance, shouting their names, as if looking for something.
When the little boy heard the familiar voice, he immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Bang, teacher, I'm here!"
Zhong Bang and Yu Bixin received Xiaozun's response and followed the voice to find them.
"Brother Bang, I remember, you are the kid who called Zhong Bang out of the tavern that day. ”
Recalling that after meeting him at the hotel, Zhu Ming was ready to pick up Xiaozun and return to the bridge.
"It turns out that your name is Xiaozun, come here, my brother will send you home. ”
"No, I don't want to go back, I don't have a home anymore, they will sell me!" Xiao Zun shouted with a hint of crying after hearing this.
When Zhong Bang, who had just arrived at the bridge, heard this, he immediately slapped his chest loudly to Xiao Zun and promised: "Xiao Zun, Brother Bang promised you that he would not let them sell you!"
"Really?" said the little general, sobbing incredulously.
"Of course, I'm a puppy if I lie to you. ”
Seeing that Xiao Zun didn't seem to be resisting anymore, Zhu Ming walked over and hugged him, gathered his divine power on his feet, and jumped to the bridge with a slight jump.
"Master Zhu?!" Zhong Bang and Yu Bixin found out that the person under the bridge was Zhu Ming, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Officer Zhong, Miss Yu. Zhu Ming saw that the two of them knew each other, and said hello.
"Master Zhu, why are you here?" Zhong Bang was a little surprised to see that Zhu Ming and Xiao Zun were both at the bottom of the bridge, how could it be so coincidental when there were no people around.
Zhu Ming smiled and explained: "I went out of the city today to have something, and when I came back, I happened to meet Xiaozun crying here alone. The wilderness is so dangerous, I just wanted to bring him back to the city, and you found him. ”
Zhu Ming diverted the topic, did not clearly say why he appeared here, but just excused himself for something. There is no need to disclose the matter of Xuan Kui, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
"Then why is Xiaozun here?"
Zhong Bang didn't ask what was the matter, shook his head and answered Zhu Ming's question: "Alas, because his parents sold him, fortunately he ran out by himself this time!"
"Are his parents so irresponsible?" Zhu Ming was angry at Xiao Zun's parents.
Zhong Bang smiled bitterly: "His parents said that it was for his good that they sold Xiaozun." ”
"My family lived with my sister and I in a rented house, and his parents couldn't afford to support their children, so they thought of selling Xiaozun to a rich family. This not only allows Xiaozun to worry about food and clothing, but also solves their economic problems. ”
"This has happened many times, and I was there to stop it. I didn't expect them to want to sell Xiaozun again while I was away this time. ”
"Fortunately, Xiaozun ran out and found someone to tell me, otherwise it would be troublesome. Bixin is a teacher at Xiaozun School, and she happened to be with me, so she came with me to find it. Zhong Bang explained the situation in Xiaozun's family, and introduced Yu Bixin's identity by the way.
Yu Bixin also said hello to Zhu Ming, "Hello Master Zhu." ”
"Miss Yu, you are actually a teacher?"
"I worked as a teacher at a school that my father ran to teach these children to learn. Yu Bixin said generously.
Unexpectedly, Yu Dahai's daughter turned out to be a teacher, Zhu Ming heard that Yu Jiayi does not charge any fees, no matter what the family background is, as long as it is a child who wants to learn, it will be charged.
Therefore, the children in Yixue are mixed, good and bad, and it is quite rare to be able to insist on teaching these children.
I can't see that not only the policeman who acts a little frizzy has a righteous heart, but Yu Bixin is not the kind of willful and arrogant rich lady, and said approvingly: "I didn't expect you two to be really enthusiastic!"
"It's getting late now, let's send Xiaozun home quickly. Zhong Bang touched his head embarrassedly and proposed.
"I'm going to take a look, too. Zhu Ming wanted to see what Xiaozun's parents were like, and they could do something to sell their children.
The three of them took Xiaozun and walked towards the city.
......
In the shared house, there is a rectangular table, with Xiaozun's parents at one end and Zhong Bang at the other. Zhu Ming and Yu Bixin took Xiaozun to sit on the sofa not far away.
"You're still not human, you have to sell your own children!" Zhong Bang looked at Xiaozun's parents and said angrily.
Xiao Zun's parents originally saw that they had brought Xiao Zun back, but their eyes were evasive and they didn't dare to speak.
But hearing Zhong Bang say this, Xiaozun's father couldn't help but retort loudly: "Do you think I am willing? If I had money, of course I would raise him for nothing, and of course I wouldn't have to sell it." ”
"Yes, sheriff, of course you have easy living expenses on your own, and you don't know the difficulties of this society at all. Xiaozun's mother also echoed and said.
Zhu Ming listened on the sidelines, angry in his heart, there are such parents!
When Zhong Bang heard this, he immediately asked: "In that case, then why did you give birth in the first place? Since you were born, you must be responsible for him."
Besides, Xiaozun usually doesn't complain that you don't have food to eat or clothes to wear! I think you are greedy for money!"
That's right! Zhu Ming secretly praised it in his heart.
Xiaozun's father immediately slapped the table and stood up: "Do you say enough? Selling children is my family matter, and you are an outsider to take care of a fart!"
Zhu Ming originally didn't comment on the side, after all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Your discipline of children is a family matter, but selling children is now a crime! Officer Zhong, I think we have to arrest them and educate them!"
"Who are you!" Xiaozun's father said angrily when he saw a stranger talking about him.
"I, I'm just a passer-by who can't see dirty things, Officer Zhong, hurry up and take them back to the police station!" Zhu Ming glanced at Zhong Bang as he spoke loudly.
When Zhong Bang saw it, he immediately stood up and opened the door, trying to press them back to the police station.
When Xiaozun's parents saw this posture, they instantly confessed: "Don't, Officer Zhong, if you have something to say." ”
"Give us another chance, and then arrest us, what should Xiaozun do?"
"Xiaozun, Xiaozun, come and beg Brother Bang not to arrest us!"
When Xiao Zun heard this, he hurriedly ran over to persuade Zhong Bang to let them go, for fear that he would really arrest them and leave him without parents.
Seeing this, Zhong Bang knew that the previous show had taken effect, and said to Xiaozun's parents seriously: "For Xiaozun's sake, forget it this time, if there is a next time, I would rather arrest you and go to jail, and I will take care of Xiaozun." ”
"Got it, we'll definitely take good care of Xiaozun. ”
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhu Ming and Yu Bixin were also ready to go home. Zhong Bang followed behind and said that he wanted to send it, Zhu Ming understood when he saw that his eyes were dodging, and said with a smile: "You still have something to say, I have to leave in advance, you can talk." ”
After speaking, Zhu Ming went back to Fuxi Hall.
Seeing that Zhu Ming had left, Zhong Bang looked at Yu Bixin: "Bixin, I'm sorry, I spoke in a heavier tone last time, I'm sorry." ”
It turned out that Zhu Ming saw Zhong Bang being called away by a child in the tavern before, just to help Yu Bixin ask Zhong Bang out.
It was originally a date chat between lovers, but their date that day was not pleasant, and it can be said that Zhong Bang did it on purpose.
At that time, Yu Bixin showed her affection to Zhong Bang, but Zhong Bang felt that he was not worthy of Yu Bixin, and said something to indicate that it was unlikely between the two.
After saying that, Zhong Bang regretted it, feeling that he had said too much, so he wanted to apologize to Yu Bixin.
However, the police department is busy with official business and has not found an opportunity, so it is only now that it has officially apologized.
After Yu Bixin heard it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he really still cared about me.
immediately forcibly suppressed his joy, and said with a straight face: "I see that you are so sincere, so I forgive you." ”
Zhong Bang heard that Bi Xin forgave him, and he also let go of his worries, but he didn't know what to talk about, so he pointed to the way back: "Then I'll go." ”
"Goodbye. Yu Bixin looked at Zhong Bang's distant back and smiled.
