634 The Secret About the Past 252 (1/2)
”Your mother will be here to pick you up in a few days.” Mei Shuangshuang then said to Xiaozong, ”Tell Xiaozong to drive the van away. The three of us will remain here.”
”Yes.”
She then walked inside the cave with Long Xiaoxi.
The cave was pitch dark and rather small. Xiaozong entered and covered the opening with some tree branches.
The cave was lit up by an electric lamp.
Long Xiaoxi sat still on the mattress, not daring to move an inch.
”Why does this chubby girl not look like your sister or your brother-in-law at all?”
”She does, she resembles my sister greatly. Just look at that face of hers. She just got too chubby,” said Mei Shuangshuang. She then took out some snacks from her bag and handed them to Long Xiaoxi. ”There you go.”
Long Xiaoxi took the snacks from her and began eating them quietly.
After waiting for an hour, Xiaozong still did not receive a notification of received payment on his mobile phone. ”Why is it taking so long? Give your sister a call to rush her,” he said with a frown.
Mei Shuangshuang nodded and called Mei Yangyang, who answered very soon. The first thing she said was, ”Has the money been transferred?”
”Your brother-in-law is in the midst of transferring it,” said Mei Yangyang.
”Hurry up.”
Mei Shuangshuang heaved a sigh of relief after ending the call and said to Xiaozong, ”They're transferring it now.”
Bored out of his wits, Xiaozong whipped out a pair of scissors from his bag.
”What are you doing?” Mei Shuangshuang asked.
”I'd like to kill some time and have some fun. What do you say I cut off all of this little lass' hair and make her bald?” he said with an evil chuckle.
”Must you really do that? She's already chubby enough. She's going to look even more hideous if you make her bald. Don't do it,” Mei Shuangshuang objected.
Xiaozong placed the scissors in front of Long Xiaoxi and taunted, ”Are you afraid?”
Long Xiaoxi nodded fervently and stared at him, ”Yes.”
However, her answer tempted Xiaozong even more.
At last, he walked toward Long Xiaoxi, grabbed her hair, and snipped it all off.
”What are you doing?” Mei Shuangshuang asked with a frown.
”I'm playing. I just cut her hair, I didn't hurt her.”
Long Xiaoxi burst into tears. Just as she was about to struggle, Xiaozong warned, ”Little lass, don't move about unnecessarily. Otherwise, you're going to bleed if the scissors touch your head.”
Long Xiaoxi remained seated, shuddering uncontrollably in fear.
Mei Shuangshuang rolled her eyes and allowed him to continue since she could not seem to persuade him to stop.
Soon, all of Long Xiaoxi's hair was snipped off. The pair of scissors used were not meant for cutting hair, and neither was Xiaozong a barber.
Thus, Long Xiaoxi's hairdo was entirely messed up, making her look hideous in no time.
Her braids were all cut off and she became bald.
”Have you got too much time on your hands?” Mei Shuangshuang hissed.
”Haha, yes, I do. I'm just trying my hands at giving a haircut.” Xiaozong then put the pair of scissors back inside his bag and said, ”Do you think your sister and brother-in-law will slaughter me when they see what I had done to their daughter?”
”They will for sure.”
Mei Shuangshuang glared at him and continued, ”Is there any reception in here?”
”Yes, it's just weaker.”
Soon, they received a text message on the mobile phone.
After reading the message, Xiaozong immediately said, ”Awesome, the money has been transferred.”
”Let's hurry and leave,” said Mei Shuangshuang, beaming with joy.
”Of course. Dump the child here and let them find her themselves,” said Xiaozong.
