C103 (1/2)
His hand paused, almost knocking over the glass bottle that was filled with medicine. He pushed at the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose. ”Little girl, don't think too much about others' thoughts. Don't be too smart.”
”So you're atoning for your sins, Uncle?” An Shengmei disagreed, and looked curiously at the man: ”Am I right?”
The man shook his head and smiled bitterly. ”I was just earning money to support my family. I thought I could get rid of one burden, but I didn't expect another one to come along. The more I live, the more I return.”
”Indeed, he's living more and more. He's so hypocritical that he can't even face himself.” The sprout on the sofa stuck in the middle of his mouth made two pairs of eyes shoot towards him.
”How does this child usually teach? ”Seems like …” An Shengmei couldn't think of an adjective, so she could only look at the bud's innocent eyes carefully.
The child's eyes were clear and bright, her brown pupils reflecting her shadow. Her eyelashes were very long, and there was even a trace of unconsciousness. Her face was very white, and her skin was so good that it seemed like it could pinch water.
However, if a child was constantly being watched like this, wouldn't he be unaccustomed to turning around?
”I didn't teach her. This child is very easy to wake up from. Other than sleeping lightly in the middle of the night, she can take care of herself. She doesn't cry all day, but sometimes she has a venomous tongue, but sometimes, it's just that …” As long as I see them, they are usually asleep. Of course, it is also possible that I was too busy. ” He crossed his arms. The more he looked at the child, the more suspicious he became. He had been so busy these past few days that he didn't notice?
An Shengmei shook her head, removing those absurd thoughts from her mind, ”Where did you pick up the seeds? Didn't you check if there were any family members? ”
”He just arrived and didn't say anything. I can't get anything out of him, but there's something strange about him.” The man touched his chin and said, ”I took her DNA and some other things and entrusted my friends to investigate, but I couldn't find a child as small as her. In other words, I couldn't find her account number …” This place is very close to the port, and it's only thirty to forty minutes' walk away.
”Smuggling?” An Shengmei felt that things were getting troublesome. Now, it would be a long way before she could send this child back.
”That's right. Some people, in order to escape something, would hide in the cargo containers or empty warehouses at the bottom of the ships and come over with the goods.” The man obviously didn't want to be bothered by this, he waved his hand and said, ”It seems like I don't know how I got separated from my family, or was purposely left here.”
”And the name of the bud?” An Shengmei asked with the last sliver of hope in her heart.
”I did, because even though this guy looked young, he had to take revenge. I saw it on the first day she came, so I agreed with her.”
He turned around and entered the room, his voice followed by the sound of the door closing, heavily blocking his way behind the door, ”There's breakfast on the table, walk around the house after you've eaten. Try not to go out, I'm not looking for anyone, sorry for the trouble.”
