"Just stay down and stay. We will notify you as soon as there is any news." After Xiao Zhao settled the woman, he stood at the door and said.
"Okay..." The woman nodded.
As Xiao Zhao closed the door, the woman's thoughts slowly returned.
Why are you sitting here?
No, I haven’t found anyone, so where can I sleep?
The woman thought, stood up involuntarily, and walked to the door.
But when she put her hand on the doorknob, she was afraid that if she left, she would miss the news from the police.
Just as she was restlessly hesitating between two thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."
The woman was stunned, what? What's coming?
Just as she was stunned, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.
The woman opened the door and wanted to chase him out to ask for details, but after opening the door in a hurry, she only saw the back of a person passing by the corner of the stairs.
The woman looked back and saw a plastic bag on the ground.
Picking up the bag, I found what looked like a box of vegetables and a box of rice inside.
Smelling the aroma wafting out of the bag, the woman's stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
The woman swallowed, looked at the empty corridor, hesitated again and again, and finally returned to the house holding her lunch box.
The woman opened the box and found a box of fried rice and a box of black vegetables and meat with an attractive aroma.
The woman only hesitated for half a second before eagerly eating the food.
Surprisingly, those vegetables and meat that don’t look very appetizing turned out to be surprisingly delicious!
Sudden! The chopsticks in the woman's hand stopped in mid-air.
Then, with a little hesitation, she took out a ball of paper ball from the fried rice.
The woman unfolded the paper ball curiously——
It's a photo.
The woman stood up excitedly.
The photo is the sister Shuang'er that I have been looking for so hard!
But the next second, the woman knocked over the chair and fell to the ground.
Half of Shuang'er's face was scratched, and her eyes were unnaturally sunken, making the woman realize that Shuang'er's eyes were probably gone.
Thinking of this, the woman suddenly felt that the meal in front of her was specially prepared for her.
Thinking of this, the woman quickly walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked downstairs.
In the green belt downstairs, a beam of light flashed at her twice.
The woman seemed to understand something. She clutched the photo and rushed out of the house.
In the middle of the night, there was no one in front of the hotel.
over there!
The woman saw another flash of light not far away.
The woman walked quickly in the direction of the light.
"Stop!" the woman summoned the courage to shout.
But the beam of light showed no intention of stopping. It still kept a distance from the woman and moved forward steadily.
The woman runs slowly, and so does the beam of light.
If the woman runs fast, so does the light.
Just like that, the beam of light seemed to be God's guidance, leading the woman all the way to the bustling bar street. Then, the beam of light completely disappeared in the colorful neon lights.
The woman looked at the drunken men passing by from time to time, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In their village, all drunk men seem to like beating their wives and daughters.
Growing up, she was often beaten by her father.
The stench of wine and half-digested food was her biggest nightmare during her childhood.
"Yo~ Where...where did this country girl come from?" Just as the woman was stunned, the man, who could not stand still, smiled and put his arm on the woman's shoulders, "Don't be shy! Follow me. Brother, I'm going... to have a drink, burp~ Brother, I'll show you the world..."
The sour-smelling wine burps made the woman almost spit out her overnight meal.
But the fear deep in her memory made her whole body stiff, and she couldn't move even half a step.
"Let's go!" The man was a little annoyed when he saw the woman didn't respond, and he couldn't help but have the idea of doing something.
"What are you doing!" A loud shout stopped the slap hanging above the woman's head.
The woman looked up in panic and saw a face that looked like a scholar in a painting.
"Do you know her?" The man stepped forward quickly, hid the woman behind him, pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked up and down at the drunken man.
"Where did you come from, how dare you spoil your grandpa and my good deeds!" The drunk man was very angry at the man who suddenly appeared. "If you don't let me slap her, grandpa will reward you with this slap!" As he said that, the drunkard rounded his arms and hit the man.
boom!
Ouch!
"You kid..."
The sound of the drunkard's pain caused the woman to open her eyes that had been closed due to fright.
I saw that the drunkard's wrist was stuck tightly by the man. The slender and seemingly weak fingers used some tricks to make the drunkard almost fall to his knees in pain.
"I'll give you five seconds to disappear from this street! Otherwise, your arm will belong to me!" the man threatened coldly.
"I'm leaving! I'm leaving!" The drunkard grinned in pain and begged for mercy.
"Get out!" The man secretly exerted his strength and swung forward. The drunk man staggered and fell three to five meters.
The drunkard looked at the flat ground and then at the man. Unconcealable fear gradually appeared in his eyes. Before the man could drive him away again, the drunkard quickly left the bar street and crawled.
"That..." The woman watched the drunk man's back gradually disappear into the night, and then she tugged at the corner of the man's clothes tremblingly.
"You're not a local, are you?" The man smiled slightly, with concern on his face.
"I...I'm not..." The woman's eyes dimmed and she shook her head slightly.
The man looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "You are a young girl from out of town. You must have something to do when you come here alone. You haven't eaten yet. I'll take you to eat something first. What's the matter? Let’s talk about it after we’re full.”
"No, no, no..." The woman waved her hands repeatedly.
Although the woman had only studied in the village primary school, she was still instinctively wary of the sudden kindness of strangers.
"I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be so nervous." Looking at the woman's reaction, the man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "There is a shop over there that I am familiar with. It's not noisy or noisy. I'll take you there. Eat something, and if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, maybe I can help you." The man said, pointing to a bar not far ahead.
The woman looked in the direction of the man's finger, hesitating whether she should agree or not.
This person just saved me. If I don't agree, I won't feel good.
But what if he is also a bad person?
"Thank you for what happened just now." The woman thought for a while, but still planned to refuse the man's kindness, "I have already eaten, and I have something else to do, so I will leave first." After saying that, the woman did not dare to look at the man's face. Turned around and left.
Watching the woman leave, the man pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "If your sister was half as vigilant as you, she wouldn't have died."
"However," the man seemed to have remembered something, he paused and added, "Her eyes are much more beautiful than yours."
