Chapter 3 (1/2)
Jiang Jiu goes out of the store ahead of time. When he reaches the store slowly, he finds that Ying Qiao has been waiting at the door of the store. He is very tall, visual inspection should have 1.9 meters, wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, standing out of the crowd, handsome is particularly prominent. Just as Jiang Jiu quickened his pace and walked there for a short time, the girls who came and went to look at him more.
If Ying Qiao didn't say that he was just a social animal with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan, he would almost think that he was the overbearing president of any company.
He trotted over and stood in front of Ying Qiao. He was a little embarrassed and said, ”have you been waiting for a long time?”
Seeing him appear, Ying Qiao, who had been surrounded by passers-by and had some impatience, raised his left wrist and pointed his watch: ”soon, I came early. Where are we going to talk? ”
When they meet today, they are going to discuss how to operate ”fake lovers”.
But Jiang was obviously not ready to go straight to the subject. He asked smilingly, ”did you have lunch?”
Ying Qiao hesitated for a moment, still shook his head: ”No.”
Jiang said, ”let's find a place to eat and talk? How about hot pot? Do you have any taboos? ”
Hot Pot? Thinking of several pairs of chopsticks fishing for vegetables in a pot, Ying Qiao couldn't help frowning. But seeing Jiang's eagerness to eat and thinking about his poor life, Ying Qiao finally restrained himself. He nodded without expression: ”whatever you want.”
He doesn't eat at all.
Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Jiu was really happy: ”I know a very delicious hot pot shop. You wait for me. I'll buy a roast pig's hoof and take you there.”
Then Ying Qiao watched him go to the food stall in front of the shopping mall. These stalls are temporary simple tents, and pedestrians come and go from the tents, which is neither hygienic nor healthy. Watching Jiang Jiu buy three roast pig's feet back, Ying Qiao's brow is almost twisted into a knot in one's heart.
Jiang Shu was very happy. He took two and handed the other to Ying Qiao: ”please eat.”
Ying Qiao stares at for a long time, then reluctantly reaches for it. Jiang Jiu didn't notice that he was different. He took a bite of pig's hoof while leading the way: ”I said this restaurant must have a good taste.”
Said to see should Qiao not move, also urged him to taste quickly.
As a very particular dragon, Ying Qiao has never tasted roadside stalls or tried to eat while walking on the street. He took a deep breath, tried to smile and said, ”I'll eat later.”
Jiang Shu gave a ”Oh”, and his attention was soon distracted——
The lion dragon in the bag smelled the fragrance and arched in the bag discontentedly: he also wanted to eat.
”I'll buy it for you. I'll give it to you when there's no one.”
Jiang Jiu lowered his voice to pacify his younger brother. He coaxed him a few words in a low voice. The moving lion dragon calmed down.
The hot pot shop is at the end of the alley. Jiang Jiu and Ying Qiao pass through the alley on the right side of the mall. Halfway through, they hear a quarrel and cry for help coming from the opposite side. This alley is not as lively as the shopping mall, with only a few scattered passers-by.
Jiang Shu stops to see a young girl who is half dragged and half hugged by a middle-aged man in a gray suit to the direction of the car. She struggles and cries: ”I don't know you. Let me go.”
The middle-aged woman behind them wiped her tears and cried, ”Qianqian, don't make trouble with your parents. You've been running out for so many days, and I haven't slept with your father for several days. I'm looking for you everywhere. You'll love your parents and come back with us.”
The middle-aged man said angrily, ”what's the use of crying with her? If she's obedient, she can steal money from her family and run out?! This time, I'll send her to live in the school. You're used to the child like this! ”
Middle aged men and women sing a song, one red face and one white face. Seeing the girl struggling for help, passers-by who want to help hesitated.
And the old man advised: ”children are young and don't understand, you adults say well, don't use violence.”
Some people also taught the little girl: ”it's wrong to steal money from the family. Why don't you learn well when you are young?”
The girl's face was full of tears. Then she looked at the passers-by and said, ”I really don't know them. They are human traffickers. Please help me call the police.”
The middle-aged man slapped her heavily on the back and dragged her to the side of the car more vigorously. He was very angry and said, ”call the police. How many times have you called the police? The police have said that if you report false police to disturb public affairs, you will be detained and punished... ”
The middle-aged men and women are well-dressed, which makes the hesitant passers-by hesitate again. For a short time, the girl has been dragged to the side of the car, and the onlookers are dubious. She holds the door tightly with her hands and refuses to get on the car. She can only cry for help in despair.
Just as the girl was about to be put into the car, Jiang Shu quickly put the shoulder bag and roast pig's feet into Ying Qiao's arms, then strode over and pulled the girl off the car.
Perhaps it was unexpected that someone would make trouble. The middle-aged man's face changed and he quickly reached out to pull back the girl: ”young man, this is our housework.”
The girl was scared out of her mind. Seeing that the middle-aged man was coming to pull her, she screamed and hid behind Jiang GUI: ”I don't know them!”
Jiang Jiu grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and with his other hand he took out his mobile phone and dialed 110: ”it's not housework. When the police come, it will be clear.”
The middle-aged man didn't expect that he had so much strength. He didn't move after earning for a while, so he said, ”young man, there's a misunderstanding in this. You should let go first, and let's make it clear.”
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman who had been crying all the time knelt down straightly and cried to the girl hiding behind Jiang GUI: ”Qianqian, don't make any more noise. Go back with your parents. If you make such noise again, your parents will have no face to live.”
Perhaps the middle-aged women cry too sad and true, passers-by unconsciously biased towards her.
Some even advised Jiang GUI: ”it's someone else's housework, so don't get involved. When the police come, make it clear that you are still embarrassed. ”
”Yes, the parents are also evil. How did they have such a child...”
Jiang Jiu was not moved, but said to the onlookers: ”it doesn't matter if I make a mistake, but if these two people are really human traffickers, let them take people away, it is harmful to the little girl. It's better to wait for the police to come and find out what matters to human life. ”
His tone was firm, and the passers-by who believed in the couple also wavered. Some people even spontaneously surrounded the couple, echoing: ”well, there is a guard Pavilion on the other side of the shopping mall. Someone went to call someone.”
Two waves of people are deadlocked, heard a voice: ”the police are coming!”
People subconsciously follow the sound to see, the middle-aged men and women see the situation is not right, took the opportunity to rush into the car will drive away. They drove forward recklessly, and the crowd didn't dare to stop them. They watched them rush out, but they heard the car tires burst suddenly, and the four tires burst together.
