While An An was walking on Yancheng Street, her eyes were looking around from time to time. It took her almost a day to get here from Fanjiatun. She was really tired, and she really wanted to find a place to sleep now. , but her copper coins are not enough to stay in the inn, so she has to find a safe and wind-proof corner to sleep first, and tomorrow morning, after rejuvenating, go to the Yamen to try her luck. This place is not far from the capital, maybe Dad There will be subordinates here.

When she was thinking about this, she didn't notice two wretched-looking men walking towards her at all. After they winked at each other, they bumped into An An on purpose.

"what!"

An An was caught off guard, she raised her head, looked up at them in horror, saw the fierce light on the faces of the two men, she timidly bowed and apologized,

"Yes... I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry? You stained my clothes, so pay me!"

The leading man's face was full of flesh, and he stared at An An with wide eyes, looking fierce.

Lose money?

During this time, An An had been exhausted. She looked at the two tall men, bit her lip and said in a low voice:

"I have no money with me, and besides, I have not soiled your clothes."

One of the men suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes with a ferocious face and shouted loudly,

"Look at what this is. Your mouth just touched the corner of my clothes. It's all dirty. Have you ever eaten buns? My body smells like buns. Hurry up and pay for my clothes, or..."

Speaking of him, he rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards An An with his teeth and claws. An An was so frightened that he backed away again and again, and turned around and ran away while he was not paying attention.

But before she could take two steps, she was stopped by another man,

"Little girl, in Yancheng, you angered Uncle Zhang, and you still want to run away? Tell you, even if you grow wings, you can't escape, so hurry up and pay for 100 taels of silver, otherwise, don't even think about leaving here."

100 two?

An An looked at these ferocious-looking men in horror, shaking her hands timidly,

"I don't have any money. It's broad daylight. Are you trying to steal money?"

"What happened to rob you?"

While talking, a man stepped forward, ready to rummage through An An's pocket.

Seeing that the time had come, Sister Hong, who was standing on the sidelines watching the excitement, twisted her body and came in front of the people, yelling loudly:

"stop!"

Under her shout, the man who was about to attack An An looked up at Sister Hong, rolled his eyes, and shouted angrily with his hands on his hips:

"What? Do you recognize this little girl?"

Sister Hong raised the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, rolled her peachy eyes, and raised her eyebrows disdainfully,

"It's recognized, you big men bully a little girl, don't you think it's embarrassing?"

"He stained Uncle Zhang's clothes, what's the matter with asking her to pay? Otherwise, you will pay for her?"

Sister Hong looked at the corner of the man's clothes where there were hardly any stains, then at An An, who was pale with fright, took out a silver coin from her arms, and held it up in front of them,

"Ten taels of silver, take it, and get out of here."

The man who claimed to be Uncle Zhang angrily took the money in Sister Hong's hand, waved to the other men, and they walked away cursing.

Miss Hong hurried over to comfort An An,

"Little sister, don't be afraid, it's okay."

An An, who was trembling from fright just now, looked at her gratefully when she got Sister Hong's help,

"Sister, thank you for saving me. An'an will remember this kindness."

"Your name is An An?"

Ann nodded.

"Call me Hongjie, I reminded you just now that in Yancheng, you, a foreigner, would be in danger if you walk around at will, but you didn't listen. Now it's all right, and I was falsely accused of taking ten taels of silver, hey!"

"Sister, I will return it to you. When I find my father and mother, I will return it to you twice."

Sister Hong kept turning her winking eyes, raised her hand to rub An An's hair, and looked at her pretending to be distressed,

"Are you looking for your father and mother? Where are they? Are they from Yancheng?"

An An pursed her lips and pondered for a while, she felt that she still couldn't reveal her true identity at will, what if she met her father's enemies, or what to do if she met Uncle Wu's people, then she would be even more dangerous.

So, she shook her head, pursed her lips, and whispered in an aggrieved voice:

"I don't know where they are, and I'm looking for them too."

Hearing what An An said, Sister Hong's eyes rolled, and she immediately felt relieved. She took An An's hand and said kindly:

"An'an, I think you seem hungry and tired, how about this, you go home with me first, I know a lot of people, help you find out where your parents are, otherwise you have been wandering on the street, then If you encounter bad people, sister, I can no longer help you."

An'an stood in place, kneading her hands together, looking at a loss.

She was not sure whether she should trust this kind-looking woman in front of her, she was really scared, she was afraid that she would fall into the tiger's mouth again.

This little girl was so vigilant, which surprised Sister Hong. She touched An An's shoulder and said desperately again:

"Okay! Since you have concerns, then I'm leaving, but I can remind you, you have to be careful, Yancheng is more dangerous at night, some people specifically pick up corpses on the street, and some homeless people have already been picked up to do it Human meat buns, and..."

"Wow……"

Speaking of human meat buns, An An thought of the two buns she had just eaten. She felt a little nauseous, and immediately vomited. Sister Hong suppressed her smile and stepped forward to comfort her:

"An'an, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

An An shook her head vigorously, she looked up at Sister Hong, this kind and beautiful woman, plus she helped her just now, she was much less wary of her in her heart.

It is already afternoon now, and it will be dark in another hour. If this continues, she will really sleep on the street. If it is true, as Sister Hong said, she sleeps on the street for one night, and tomorrow she will become a human bun in the mouth of others , how to find parents?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a little scared, and her body trembled unconsciously.

Sister Hong probably saw what she was thinking, she cleared her throat, shook her handkerchief, and said with a mixed heart:

"Originally, I saw you were pitiful, and wanted to help you. Since you don't appreciate it, then I have to go. You can ask for blessings!"

"elder sister……"

Seeing that Sister Hong was really going to leave, An An hurriedly called her to stop, looked at her timidly,

"Sister Hong, can you send me back to the capital? If I get to the capital, I will be able to find my home, and my father will definitely thank you."

"sure."

Sister Hong agreed to her without even thinking about it, as long as she gets this girl back, it's not up to her to decide what to do.

Seeing that Sister Hong agreed to her, An An showed a row of white teeth, stepped forward to hold Sister Hong's hand, and followed her forward.
