As they approached Jinbo City, Yu Changle returned to normal after taking a statement from the police.
From a distance, she could see the "skeleton man" sitting upright. He didn't close his eyes and meditate like before. Instead, he glanced at the snakeskin bag on the luggage rack from time to time, obviously taking care of her luggage carefully.
Yu Changle felt grateful: "Brother, I'm back!"
The "skeleton man" still seemed to have no expression on his face. He only glanced at her and replied: "Yes."
Although the other party still looked cold, Yu Changle was no longer afraid of him and sincerely thanked him:
"Brother, thank you for saving me just now and looking at my luggage for so long. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Skeleton Man" shook his head indifferently, as if it was a trivial matter for him.
Although his reaction was very cold, it could not dispel Yu Changle's enthusiasm in wanting to thank him.
She stood on tiptoe and took out a letter from Lianxianglou's almond cake from her snakeskin pocket. She sat on her seat and opened it, then picked up a piece and handed it over:
"Brother, try it. This almond cake is delicious."
Facing Yu Changle's repeated conversations, the "skeleton man" frowned, as if Yu Changle had given him a difficult problem.
Yu Changle smiled, boldly stuffed the almond cake directly into his hand, and took a piece of himself and put it into his mouth:
"It really smells good. Try it. I won't lie to you."
The "skeleton man" hesitated a little, holding the almond cake in his hand like a hot potato, neither eating nor eating it.
Yu Changle kept urging him to try it, but the "skeleton man" reluctantly took a bite.
...It's soft and crumbly, and it's really delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Yu Changle smiled sweetly. The "Skeleton Man" looked at the corner of his mouth and moved unnaturally, showing an expression that was uglier than crying.
Yu Changle now feels that he is more pleasing to the eye, and even has a different kind of joy. She doesn't know if it is a psychological effect. She now feels that the coldness of the "skeleton man" is not necessarily coldness, but may be social fear.
She asked with a smile: "Brother, my name is Yu Changle, I still don't know your name?"
The "Skeleton Man"'s face began to look unnatural again, and he was thinking to himself, this woman didn't talk so much before, why did she become so talkative after saving her? !
Had I known earlier...Had I known earlier, I would still have been saved...
"Jiang Fushui." He ate a piece of cake from her and was too embarrassed to ignore her.
"It turns out to be Brother Jiang. Brother Jiang, you are also going to Jinbo, right? I looked at your ticket when I checked the tickets before, and your accent doesn't sound like someone from Jinbo. Are you going to Jinbo to visit relatives? Or on a business trip? Or... ..."
Yu Changle seemed to have completely opened up his chatterbox. Jiang Fushui was dumbfounded. After a long while, he replied in his hoarse voice:
"I'm looking for friends."
Yu Changle nodded, and suddenly thought of something. He took out a VIP card for Changle Clothing Store from his bag and handed it over:
"Brother Jiang, this is the address of my store. When you find your friend and finish what you are doing, you must come to the store to find me. I have to set up a table at Haoshilai to thank you!"
This was the inconvenience of the 1980s. There were no mobile communication devices, and all you could do when leaving contact information was an address. It was not easy to find someone in time.
Jiang Fushui took it and looked at Changle Clothing Store. It turned out that this little woman was still a small boss.
He put the VIP card away, but he didn't say whether he would go to Yu Changle or not.
At 7:15 pm, the train from Yangcheng to Ningzhou finally stopped at the platform of Jinbo Railway Station.
Yu Changle stood up and reached for the snakeskin bag on the luggage rack. Jiang Fushui walked to her side silently, stretched out his hand, and easily took the bag off.
Yu Changle suddenly remembered that he was frightened when he stood up when he first got in the car, and he made a bold guess in his mind:
"Brother Jiang, when I got in the car, did you stand up to help me put my luggage?"
It's okay that she didn't mention it, but when she mentioned Jiang Fushui, she remembered Yu Changle's look as if he had seen a ghost when he saw him, which really left him speechless.
However, he also knew that he did have a fierce and evil face, and he was not good at speaking. Not to mention that Yu Changle, a little girl who was alone outside, was afraid of him. People like Li Zhi who had done all kinds of bad things were also preconceived fears. him?
He wanted to help people but scared them. How could he admit to such an embarrassing thing?
Jiang Fushui acted as if he didn't understand what she was talking about, and silently helped her move the snakeskin bag off the train, and then said:
"Be careful when you go out."
Yu Changle nodded with deep understanding. She thought she had been vigilant enough, but in the end she was only wary of superficial signs. She was fully prepared for the dangers on the surface, but she was quite happy to step into the stinky mud pits in the dark.
After what happened to Li Zhi, Yu Changle felt that he had a new understanding of the opportunities and risks of the 1980s.
Indeed, the 1980s ushered in unprecedented huge opportunities due to the reform and opening up. Countless people who dared to be the first to seize the opportunity became "the first group of people to get rich." People in later generations often only envy the people everywhere in the 1980s. opportunities to make a fortune, but ignored the gutter traps that were also everywhere in the 1980s.
The abduction and trafficking of women and children was hardly news in the 1980s. There was no Skynet, no eye in the sky, insufficient police force, and no means of tracing. Finding abducted missing people in a huge sea of people was like finding a needle in a haystack. Therefore, the number of human traffickers in this era was not only There are so many of them and they are so rampant that even if the Ministry of Public Security orders a severe crackdown, they cannot get rid of this group of people who are as good at hiding among the people as lice.
Yu Changle's encounter was complete this time, which also reflected how rampant human trafficking was at this time. She believed that they were on the same train, and maybe it was not just her little sister who was abducted.
They were lucky, but what about those who were not rescued?
Only then did Yu Changle truly understand why people in this era find it difficult to travel far away. It is not just a matter of cost, but almost 100% of encountering various dangers, big or small, on the way. Not everyone has the ability to protect themselves.
Jiang Fushui helped her unload her luggage from the train and left without saying a word or getting angry. Only then did Yu Changle remember that she had forgotten to ask him which guest house he was staying in. Now he could only wait for him to come to him after he finished his work.
Thinking of Meng Jiu'an waiting for her at the exit, Yu Changle's body, which was still a little tired, suddenly became energetic. Just as he was about to pick up the snakeskin bag and walk out, he suddenly heard an excited shout not far away:
"Sister-in-law! Over here, sister-in-law!"
The voice sounded very familiar. She looked over and saw Bai Chuan holding a piece of floral cloth in his hand and swaggering towards her.
