Although waiting for someone is a very annoying thing, but there are several objective reasons here, there is nothing to complain about. Seeing this news, Hongyan could almost imagine Qiao Xiyin's tearful expression, her heart suddenly softened, and she replied that it was okay.
The place they agreed on was a pedestrian street. At the end of the street was the main square, and they did some shopping along the way.
Hongyan thought very well and went to find a place to buy some snacks or sit down first. Qiao Xiyin was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come if she stayed like this for half an hour. Then she did so and walked forward along the side of the street.
This city is at the end of the second tier because it is at the provincial capital level and has relatively complete infrastructure. However, compared with most developed cities, there are still some deficiencies here. The subway was only built a few years ago and the security on the streets is not to mention.
There is an underground passage every other section of the pedestrian street. Hongyan has already seen two or three homeless people begging or settling down at the entrance of the passage.
This doesn't affect her mood.
It was a working day, and there weren't many people on the street. Hongyan walked over slowly. She also entered a bookstore on the way and bought a cup of milk tea in her hands.
Five minutes ago, Qiao Xiyin sent a message saying that she had just gotten in the car.
Two people walked in front of her. The girl on the left looked about the same age as her, and the woman on the right was middle-aged. They might be mother and daughter.
However, the expressions of both of them were not very good. The woman held the girl tightly with one hand, almost forcefully pulling her away in a restraining manner. The girl lowered her eyebrows, and kept reaching out with her other hand to pry the woman's fingers apart, and then she was greeted with curses.
The girls' clothes were a bit old and stained with dust. She looked very haggard, her eyes were dull, and she was looking around the whole time. Her eye sockets were swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time.
This pairing was a bit weird. Hongyan frowned and planned to go away, but she didn't expect two people to walk towards her.
As she got closer, she seemed to be able to hear the woman cursing with a bit of a local accent: "Don't move."
Then she raised her head and met the girl's eyes.
Her eyes suddenly widened and the girl made a mouth shape to her.
"help me".
She thought she had seen it wrong. But when the three people passed each other, the girl suddenly bumped her hard, causing her milk tea to spill out and stain her clothes.
The woman was also a little stunned. The girl took the opportunity to break away and the woman pulled her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
She was still looking at her, her eyes frightened and helpless.
A series of analyzes quickly flashed through Hongyan's mind, and then she took the girl's hand and said, "Little tea."
The girl was slightly stunned.
"I'm Yan Yan," Hongyan raised her voice, "Don't you remember me? I was your roommate when we were in junior high school. Why are you here if you didn't transfer away in the third year of junior high?"
She deliberately raised her voice, and the girl immediately understood her intention and looked surprised, "I'm studying in college here."
Both of her hands were holding the beauty tightly, and the woman's expression suddenly became ugly.
Hongyan spoke loudly, and several passers-by had already raised eyebrows.
"Is she your mother?" Hongyan asked again, "Why are you in a bad mood when you come shopping?"
Unexpectedly, the girl's expression suddenly collapsed. Just as she was about to speak, the woman interrupted her first, "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
The excuse was too superficial. The two of them didn't speak. The woman felt wind on her feet and left quickly.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and her tears immediately fell down. "Thank you. Without you, I don't know what things would have been like."
She pulled Hongyan a little too hard. Sensing Hongyan's displeasure, she hurriedly let go. Even calling Hongyan felt a little embarrassed, "What's wrong with that woman?"
The girl smiled bitterly and said, "I shouldn't be angry with my family and run away from home to meet my netizen. She wants to abduct me. She is a human trafficker."
Her expression was unstable and she couldn't stop crying. "I didn't know the kind of person I wanted to meet online. She said she wanted to take me in, and then she knocked me out and locked me up. Now she wants to I'll take the little sister away, I haven't had a good meal in two days."
When Qiao Xiyin found the beauty, the phone hadn't hung up yet.
She was not familiar with this place, so she relied on the beauty to give her directions on the phone. Furthermore, she was a little selfish, fearing that she would encounter traffickers on the road, and having someone on the other end of the phone would make her feel more at ease.
She has been in this world for five years, and she doesn't remember the plot of the original owner's abduction that deeply. All in all, she can't go wrong by being more cautious here these days.
But she didn't expect that Hongyan had already sat in KFC, and there was a girl sitting opposite her, holding a mobile phone and looking at the screen.
She held the phone tightly and put on a smile, "This is Hongyanyan"
"Sister Qiao, you're here," Hongyan called her to sit down, then lowered her voice, "Xiaoyang is the one I just met on the road. You don't know how scared you were just now. She was tricked by netizens to come here. I was almost abducted by human traffickers.”
Human traffickers.
Alarm bells rang in Qiao Xiyin's heart.
After hearing this, the girl hurriedly raised her head, her face flushed, and she smiled gratefully, "Well, thank you Sister Yanyan for saving me and treating me to something to eat."
This plot sounds a bit familiar.
Before Qiao Xiyin could speak, Hongyan had already spoken, "Xiaoyang, have you contacted your family?"
Xiaoyang claimed that her mobile phone had been confiscated a long time ago and now she had nothing on her, so she lent her the mobile phone.
Mentioning this, Xiaoyang's expression darkened, "I won't answer the phone without them."
"Hey, what's going on?" The incident of meeting netizens resonated with Hongyan, and she sympathized with Xiaoyang. "Me and Qiao Mei have just met. We are netizens. Fortunately, Qiao Mei is not a liar."
Qiao Xiyin curled her lips.
However, his hand never moved away from the phone.
She turned on the recording function.
"I'll take you to the train station." The table was almost empty. Hongyan stood up and said, "Sister Qiao, I'm sorry for this kind of thing."
"It doesn't matter," Qiao Xiyin expressed understanding, "I'll go with you."
Xiaoyang was flattered, "No, don't bother me, Sister Yanyan. Please lend me some more money. I'll take a taxi there. I'll write you an IOU and leave my contact information. When I get home, I'll pay you back right away."
"I am doing good deeds every day," Hongyan smiled nonchalantly, "Let's just say, let's take a taxi there together."
Naturally, Qiao Xiyin didn't comment. Seeing Xiaoyang's sympathy here, the wrinkles on her brows never smoothed out.
What she thought would happen to her happened by mistake, and she seemed to be hit by a beauty.
This plot is so familiar that she won't remember it wrong.
Xiaoyang has a problem.
Hongyan is a relatively simple and single-minded person. She cannot let Hongyan abandon Xiaoyang for no reason.
How to stop her now
However, Hongyan had already walked out of the side door of KFC with Xiaoyang, leaving the pedestrian street and heading towards the main avenue.
Xiaoyang stood at one end of the road.
There were several empty cars on the road. Hongyan wanted to take a taxi, but Xiaoyang seemed to have opened up her chat box and kept chatting with her. She also talked to Qiao Xiyin about her experiences in the past few days. She accidentally missed several cars. .
When Hongyan came to her senses, Xiaoyang waved, and a taxi stopped in front of the three girls.
As soon as Hongyan opened the car door, she was grabbed by Qiao Xiyin.
She was still confused, but Qiao Xiyin stopped, struggled for a moment, and said softly, "I, I'd better not go with you, I'll stay here."
She guessed that Hongyan would not leave her alone.
"How can that be done?" As expected, Hongyan didn't think much about it, "You're not familiar with this. You have to rely on me to find the way remotely. What if you lose it? Sister Qiao, you are so good-looking, so you have to be more careful. You and I Let’s get in the car together.”
Qiao Xiyin shook her head again, bit her lower lip, and said very tangledly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little carsick."
Xiaoyang's expression changed slightly.
Unexpectedly, it was for this reason that Hongyan felt a little embarrassed. However, the words had been released. Do you want Xiaoyang to go alone
The taxi driver was already urging, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Here, Xiaoyang took Hongyan's wrist and said, "Sister Yanyan, I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
Qiao Xiyin had a headache, why would another white lotus appear in front of her.
Her expression did not change, "It doesn't matter, you can go first, I will hang out here. Otherwise, we can make an appointment another day. You go to accompany Xiaoyang today."
This time Hongyan felt guilty, "Aren't you going to take photos tomorrow? Where do you have time to hang out?"
She seemed to realize something. Although she waited for Qiao Xiyin for a while, walking with Xiaoyang was obviously not something that could be solved in a short time. Who would feel comfortable if their planned date was interrupted by this sudden trouble
She was already a little shaken at this time, "Let's do this, Xiaoyang, I'll lend you some money, I'm sorry."
How can this work
Xiaoyang was so anxious that she almost pulled Hongyan into the car with a little more force on her hands, "Sister Yanyan, I"
The middle-aged woman appeared at this time.
Behind her was a man with dark skin. When he saw Xiaoyang, he shouted, "My dear, you are here!"
The street is no better than a pedestrian street. People are coming and going, and there are already a few looks coming over.
Xiaoyang opened the car door the next moment and sat in first, holding Hongyan tightly with one hand, "Sister, please go home and don't see your netizens again. My parents have been looking for you for several days."
Before Hongyan could recover from her sudden words, a man and a woman came over. The man pushed Hongyan into the taxi, while the woman pulled Qiao Xiyin, her voice was crying, "It's my fault as a mother. , I will definitely apologize to my daughter. You are the netizen my daughter met, right? Please give your daughter back to me. We can handle our own family affairs ourselves."
The author has something to say: this method of trafficking is really terrible
You never know whether you are helping others or falling into the wolf's den again.
You still need to be more careful when going out, especially with strangers
