Meng Yan's Transformation

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman saw Xiao Mengyan sitting on the ground crying loudly. Zhan Yingying was holding a snakeskin bag in one hand and her sister Xiao Mengyan in the other. She walked up to her and asked, "Little girl, stop crying. Tell your aunt where the adults in your family are? Did you get separated from them? Can't find your father or mother?"

Xiao Mengyan's crying and the woman's questioning attracted people to watch.

"Did these two children get separated from their parents?"

"How pitiful! They are so young, and the parents of these two sisters are so careless. Why didn't they look for their children when they were lost?"

"Little girls, come with auntie. I'll take you to the platform to find your dad and mom, okay?"

"Report the case quickly and find the railway police station!"

"Yes, yes, find the railway police!"

People were talking about it.

Seeing so many people talking to her, Xiao Mengyan was so scared that she closed her mouth and dared not cry anymore. She stood up in a hurry, holding her bag tightly in panic, and stood close to her sister Zhan Yingying.

At this time, a man in police uniform who looked like a "railway policeman" squeezed through the crowd, came to the two sisters, squatted down, and asked gently: "Little girls, I am a policeman from the railway police station. Someone just reported a case for you, saying that you and your father and mother were separated. Is that true?"

"Uncle police, we are not separated from our father and mother. We came from our eldest brother's home in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, and are going back to our hometown. Our home is in Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province. Dad and Mom are waiting for us in our hometown." Zhan Yingying replied.

"You are so young, and you walk such a long distance without an adult accompanying you?" asked the "railway police".

"Yes, there was an Uncle Xu and his son traveling with us, but just now when we were reversing, my sister fell down, and when I was looking for her, I got separated from them..., an uncle at the station told me that the train we were going to reverse had already left..., Uncle Xu and his son may have left, otherwise they would have come back and found us long ago..." Zhan Yingying said sadly with her head down.

"Little girl, take out your ticket and let me see it. I'll help you check if there are other trains going to Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province." said the "railway police."

Zhan Yingying handed the train ticket to the "railway policeman". The "railway policeman" looked at Zhan Yingying's train ticket and said, "Now you two sisters go out of the platform with your uncle and go to the ticket office to check the train schedule for Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province. Find out what time the earliest train is. Your uncle will find a way to get you two sisters on the train back home."

Zhan Yingying asked for her train ticket back from the "railway police". Zhan Yingying and Xiao Mengyan both looked around at the people around them with wide eyes.

"Comrade police officer! Can I see your police ID? We will be relieved to hand the two sisters over to you!" asked the middle-aged woman who first questioned the two sisters.

"Comrade, I'm sorry. I came in a hurry after receiving the report and forgot to bring my police ID. Can you please tell me if this is okay? If it is convenient for you, go to the ticket office with me and help the two sisters check the train schedule to Longjiang County, Heilongjiang." said the railway police.

"Sure! I'm about to leave the platform. I'll be almost home once I get out of the platform. My home is near the train station." The middle-aged woman replied.

The middle-aged woman squatted down, helped Xiao Mengyan connect the broken strap of her shoulder bag, and reinforced it with a pin from her pocket.

The middle-aged woman and the railway police led Zhan Yingying and Xiao Mengyan to the exit...

When everyone saw that the railway police were accompanying the two sisters, they all dispersed...

"Little girl, auntie has some White Rabbit milk candy here, try one!" The middle-aged woman handed Xiao Mengyan a piece of White Rabbit milk candy as they walked.

Xiao Mengyan licked her lips and looked at her sister Zhan Yingying.

“When we get to the ticket office later, I’ll give you some red hawthorns that taste even better than White Rabbit milk candy!” Zhan Yingying said to Xiao Mengyan.

"Thank you, Auntie. I don't like the White Rabbit milk candy. I prefer the red hawthorns picked by my sister. You can keep the White Rabbit milk candy for yourself." Xiao Mengyan decisively refused the middle-aged woman's White Rabbit milk candy.

The middle-aged woman took out some biscuits from her small leather bag and gave them to the two sisters, but they both refused.

"You two little girls are quite polite!" said the middle-aged woman with a smile.

The "railway police" looked at the crowd leaving the platform ahead and said, "There are too many people leaving the station ahead. Let's go through the door on the other side!"

"Wait, let me drink some water. I'm so thirsty!" said the middle-aged woman as she took out a bottle of juice from her small leather bag.

The middle-aged woman took a sip and said, "It feels so good. This juice is really thirst-quenching! Girls, are you thirsty?"

Zhan Yingying had a high fever due to rubella, and her lips were dry and cracked. Seeing the middle-aged woman thirsty for juice made her mouth feel even drier, and she swallowed her saliva subconsciously...

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman handed the juice to Zhan Yingying and said, "Drink some. Your lips are chapped. Drink some juice to moisten your throat and lips."

Zhan Yingying took the juice and said, "Thank you, Auntie!" She began to gulp down the juice thirstily, but she noticed her sister staring at her and licking her lips.

"Sister, are you very thirsty too?" Zhan Yingying said as she handed the juice bottle to her sister Xiao Mengyan.

"Thank you, auntie! Thank you, sister!" Xiao Mengyan said as she took the juice bottle and started drinking it in big gulps.

The two sisters felt drowsy after drinking the juice, and they felt someone picking them up in a daze.

The "railway police" and the middle-aged woman picked up the two sisters and disappeared into the night...
