Zhang Jiaqiang's faces turned dark instantly.
Jiang Xinxin was even more angry and stamped her feet, "I, the amulet my mother gave me is inside, and, oops..."
The man who just took the brick covered his mouth and almost laughed like a pig, "Brother, are you still a good person? This is real retribution in this world, why don't you hurry up and chase it!"
The wallet didn't matter, but Jiang Xinxin's amulet and other important things she was too embarrassed to say had to be found.
Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hand, and the two bodyguards and four bearded wild horses ran wildly in the direction where the little beggar disappeared.
Jiang Xinxin was worried and shouted, "Hey, just get your wallet back, and don't hit him again!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a helpless smile, "You are so kind, go back and eat and wait!"
Jiang Xinxin held his arm and walked towards the store, "That's a little girl, I'm afraid she won't survive if she's beaten again!"
Zhang Jiaqiang was surprised. He didn't expect that the thief who escaped in a group was actually a girl.
After finishing the breakfast, Zhang Jiaqiang paid the bill, but the people chasing the thief still didn't come back.
There are still a few hours before the driving time. If this continues, it will be troublesome if the train is delayed.
Zhang Jiaqiang thought that these store owners must have their own tricks, so why not ask them for information.
So he handed the boss a bag of Huazi and said.
"These little beggars must be gathering together. I have a way to find them!"
The boss greedily sniffed the fragrance emanating from the cigarette case, curled his lips and smiled.
"In fact, it's easy to find them, as long as you are willing to do this..."
He said and twirled his fingers.
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "It's simple, how about I pay 500 yuan?"
Then he asked the bodyguard to take out five hundred dollar bills.
The boss looked surprised. He couldn't make so much in a day running a stall. He immediately agreed and asked the waiter to take care of the shop. He picked up the banknotes and ran out.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed similarly as a beggar walked into the store.
"Boss, she is a local hustler. I gave her the money, and she is responsible for taking you to find that hustler!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't care whether the boss got the kickback or not, so he let the woman lead the way and led everyone out.
Before leaving, he told the boss that if other people came back, ask them to wait in the store and stop running around.
This old man was quite sneaky. He led Zhang Jiaqiang and others through the streets and alleys, and soon they arrived outside a dilapidated old warehouse.
Pointing to the warehouse door, he said, "The nest is inside. You can go in alone. It's not convenient for me to show up!"
As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hand, the bodyguards immediately blocked the warehouse door, and two more patrolled around the outer wall.
Just as he was about to enter, Hanako called out to him.
"As long as the things are returned, please don't hurt anyone, we won't agree to it!"
Thieves also have their ways. People in this era are still more particular about it, at least the bottom line is still there.
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded in agreement and walked into the door with Jiang Xinxin.
At a glance, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere in the courtyard. Weeds are more than two feet high. The only two warehouses are only broken houses. A grass thatch is hung at the door as a door. There is air leakage everywhere and even the windows are missing. .
Can anyone live in this place? It would be appropriate to make a modern version of a ghost movie!
The two of them tiptoed toward the warehouse. As they approached, they heard bursts of violent coughing coming from inside.
Then a childish voice came out, "Sister, we have money, let's go see a doctor, go see a doctor, you're going to die from coughing!"
Following the violent coughing, a girl's voice broke intermittently, "No, no, this money is enough for us to eat buns for a month. You can't spend it all on me. I won't cough when I'm full. You guys are obedient!"
"Ah, who are you? Sister, run quickly..."
Zhang Jiaqiang and others lifted up the grass thatch and saw that the small ground was covered with all kinds of weeds, rags, and paper shells.
Several ragged children were lying on these things, nibbling the buns with relish.
The girl who stole the thing was leaning against a broken wall, and a little boy of seven or eight years old squatted next to her.
When the children saw them, they were so frightened that they ran away and screamed.
But the door was blocked and they had nowhere to escape. They were quickly caught by several bodyguards and made to stand in a row against the wall.
"Let them go. I stole the wallet. You can kill or beat them as you please!"
The girl coughed and held a red wallet in her hand, which was the one Jiang Xinxin lost.
Zhang Jiaqiang and Jiang Xinxin looked at each other and reached out to take their wallets.
"Get the important things back and leave the money to them!"
Jiang Xinxin hummed, turned around and found a small bronze pendant from her wallet. It must have been the amulet given by her mother. She took another photo and immediately hid it in her arms mysteriously.
Zhang Jiaqiang refused to let him see it, which made him confused. Is there any secret in the photo?
After putting away her things, Jiang Xinxin placed the wallet and the money inside next to the little girl's legs.
"It's all for you. From now on, be smarter when you work, and don't get beaten again!"
Zhang Jiaqiang glanced at his watch, pulled Jiang Xinxin and turned away.
Jiang Xinxin suddenly stopped and tugged on Zhang Jiaqiang's sleeve.
"Brother, do you still have any money? Leave some more for them. I think it's getting cold. Let them buy a stove to keep warm!"
This place is located in the northernmost part of China, and the temperature is often tens of degrees below zero in winter. Living in such a broken house, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it for more than a few days.
There are too many beggars like this in the world, and you can't control them even if you want to, but now that you have encountered these few, being able to lend a hand can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating merit.
But I don’t dare to give them too much money, for fear that bad guys will take it away and may even harm them.
But the money was low and he couldn't survive this winter. Zhang Jiaqiang called a bearded man and said, "Go and rent a bungalow nearby. It can have a stove and no air leakage. Pay half a year's rent and let these children live there later!"
The bearded man hurriedly went out to do it.
Zhang Jiaqiang took out another thousand dollars, placed them next to the little girl, and whispered.
"Take these to see a doctor. You can't drag your health away. You have to be cured for them. The rest will be bought into rice and flour. When you move to a place with a stove, you can cook by yourself. It won't be a big problem to survive the winter!"
After that, he led everyone out of the broken house.
I didn't hear those children thanking me from beginning to end, but Zhang Jiaqiang didn't care. After all, he only did this for peace of mind, not to be grateful to others.
After walking out of the yard, the female flower girl was still there. She looked at Zhang Jiaqiang and the others, nodded, and then turned away.
...
The train's whistle sounded again, and as the rolling wheels turned, it drove out of the platform.
Zhang Jiaqiang sat on the soft sleeper, watching the scenery around him retreat quickly, and suddenly asked.
"Xinxin, who is the person in your photo? Is it an old lover?"
Jiang Xinxin spat lightly, "What's wrong with my old lover? Are you jealous?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "Yes, you are mine, how can I be so jealous!"
Jiang Xinxin sat on his lap and took out the photo from her pocket.
"I can show you, but you can't laugh at them!"
"Okay, I swear, show me quickly!"
Jiang Xinxin turned her palm over, and a half-new and half-old photo appeared in front of Zhang Jiaqiang.
He was stunned. What was going on?
