Grandpa

Beijing in early August is the hottest time of the year.

"Drink of water."

When the ice water in his hand was about to return to normal temperature, Shao Yun wiped off the thick layer of water droplets on the outside of the plastic water bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Wei Xiuluo in his arms.

Wei Xiuluo lay in Wei Xiuluo's arms, took the water bottle, took a few sips, and the water level in the water bottle dropped by half immediately.

Shao Yun hugged Wei Xiuluo's waist, "Do you feel better?"

Wei Xiuluo softened his ankle, rubbed Shao Yunqu's chest, and said contentedly: "Finally, I've recovered."

This action fell into Shao Yun's arms, like a lazy big cat that could only nest under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool because of fear of the sun burning into a fireball above its head.

wrong--

Shao Yun curled the corners of his lips, this is a serious looking kitten who is actually very proud.Thinking of this, he reached out and stroked Wei Xiuluo's hair, which was soft and completely different from the furry feeling when he turned into an orange cat.

Wei Xiuluo half-opened his eyes, let out a soft snort, and let Shao Yun move, while greedily absorbing the yang essence that Shao Yun diffused around his body.

"Young people nowadays really don't feel ashamed. They just cuddle and hug on the street in broad daylight. That's how the society's atmosphere is corrupted..."

Hearing this, Shao Yunqu frowned slightly, and followed the voice to look over.Just seven or eight meters away, two middle-aged women in their forties walked side by side.

The one on the left is wearing a strict professional attire, tightly packed, with an undisguised look of disdain on his face.

Although the one on the right is dressed stylishly, she looks haggard and preoccupied. No matter how thick the foundation is, it can't hide the dark circles under her eyes.

Probably because she noticed Shao Yun's gaze, the woman with dark circles recovered from her trance, barely suppressed the pain in her heart, and stretched out her hand to pull the woman in business attire who was still chattering beside her: "Okay, Wan Xue, what's next?" On the street…”

Probably knowing that the old friend's feudal thinking can't be broken, the woman with dark circles can only persuade him around the corner.

Facing Shao Yunqu's icy gaze, the woman in business attire shrank her neck subconsciously, and then felt that she was lacking in confidence, so she straightened her neck and stared back, but she didn't continue talking.

Probably also a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard.

When passing by Shao Yun to go to the two of them, she decisively withdrew her gaze, not daring to look at Shao Yun again.

About five or six meters away, the woman with dark circles couldn't help asking, "Wan Xue, how far is it?"

"It's almost there, just cross this street." The woman in professional attire replied immediately, with such a taste of joy that would be difficult to appreciate without careful consideration in her tone.

The woman with dark circles sighed, "Wan Xue, is the Kong God you mentioned really that amazing?"

The woman in business attire immediately raised her voice, and said anxiously: "I can still lie to you. I heard from my Granny Zhang downstairs that although this Kong Shensuan's asking price is not cheap, if he doesn't open his mouth, he will take it. You solve problems. It is said that the children found in his hands can’t be counted in two palms, anyway, there is no news from the police station, so you go and try, in case he really finds it!”

Speaking of this, she sighed: "I just see you muddle through every day, and my heart aches."

The eyes of the woman with dark circles, who was almost in despair, barely had a glint of light in her eyes. She couldn't help quickening her pace, and said almost choked up, "I hope!"

……

"Okay." Wei Xiuluo finally had enough rest, let go of Shao Yunqu's neck, and stood up straight.

He took out his wallet, and there was less than 600 yuan left in the 1000 yuan salary he received just yesterday, and the 600 yuan he spent included a tie for the big cat and a silk scarf for Mother Wei.

For these two things, he and Shao Yun went shopping in the mall for two full hours.

Wei Xiuluo took out the remaining small stack of banknotes, and was a little confused about what to give Deng Tuzi.

Shao Yun went with a smile in his eyes, how could he not understand Wei Xiuluo's thoughts, he said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the yellow paper in my study seems to be almost used."

Wei Xiuluo's eyes lit up, that's all.

He took Shao Yunqu's hand, intertwined his fingers, and coughed softly, "Let's go!"

"En." Shao Yun lifted his foot and walked side by side with him.

I followed the phone map to find the nearest paper-making shop, and it was already half an hour before I walked out of the shop with a thick stack of yellow paper.

Touching the empty wallet, Wei Xiuluo sighed.

He had sent many gifts to Father Wei, Mother Wei and Shao Yun, but it was the first time he spent his real "hard-earned money".

He was satisfied, and the tiredness in his eyes disappeared.

It's just that the two of them met those two middle-aged women just after they got off the flyover.

The most indispensable thing on the Antique Street is probably the fortune tellers with all kinds of signs, those wearing sunglasses, those wearing Taoist robes, and those who hold a pipe and smoke from time to time...

These two middle-aged women were sitting in front of a middle-aged man wearing a worn Taoist robe and a shiny beard.

The woman with dark circles looked nervously at the middle-aged man, while the middle-aged man closed his eyes, kept counting with his fingers, and muttered something, but he spoke so fast that he could hardly hear what he said.

Wei Xiuluo frowned slightly, that middle-aged man was full of evil, and he knew that he was not a good person at first glance.

He turned his head to look at Shao Yun.

Shao Yun said calmly, "Go and have a look."

Just as Shao Yun went and the two approached, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

The woman with dark circles said cautiously: "Master, have you figured it out?"

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said quite proudly: "Congratulations, Ms. Zhao, your grandson is still alive, and I have figured out where your grandson is now."

"Really?" The woman with dark circles widened her eyes, her nose sore, and wept with joy. She grabbed the middle-aged man's sleeve and asked expectantly, "Master, master, where is my grandson now?" ?”

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, half-closed his eyes, unmoved.

The woman in professional attire on the side quickly grabbed the woman with dark circles, and she said eagerly: "Wen Jun, have you forgotten what the master said before?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The dark-eyed woman suddenly realized that she quickly let go of the middle-aged man's sleeves, frantically took out a bank card from her handbag, took out a paper brush and wrote the password on a piece of paper. Finally, she stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand together with the bank card, and then she said hurriedly: "Master, master, there are 20 in this card, please tell me about my grandson—"

The eyes of the middle-aged man flickered. He accepted the bank card and password paper, and also took out a blank paper to write down a string of addresses quite skillfully.

Then, while handing the address to the woman with dark circles, he said, "My fortune-telling for Ms. Zhao and finding your grandson can be regarded as revealing secrets, so it is really unavoidable to accept huge rewards. I will only take [-] for this money, and I will pay you later." I will donate all the rest of the money, as a good deed for myself, so as not to blame God, I hope you can understand, Ms. Zhao."

What he said was righteous, the woman with dark circles was so focused on the address in her hand, how could she care so much, she immediately stood up from the small bench, turned around and was about to leave.

But he didn't want to bump into Shao Yun and go to the two of them in a panic.

Shao Yun reached out to support the woman with dark circles who was staggering unsteadily, and said to the operator on the other end of the phone: "Yes, under the overpass on Antique Street, this trafficker pretends to be a fortune teller, and he has two accomplices , come quickly..."

"What?" Hearing this, the woman with dark circles was stunned.

So, this human trafficker is talking about Kong Shensuan?

The middle-aged man's complexion changed, he stood up abruptly, and was about to grab Shao Yunqu's cell phone, but Wei Xiuluo didn't want Wei Xiuluo to grab his arm and kick him on his left leg.The middle-aged man suffered from pain, screamed, and fell to his knees.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?" The middle-aged man blushed and tried his best to resist, but was pinned down by Wei Xiuluo, unable to move.

"I've hit someone, help me, woohoo..."

Wei Xiuluo thought his voice was too loud, so he simply grabbed the corner of his canvas signboard and stuffed it into his mouth.

It happened so suddenly, when everyone came back to their senses, Shao Yun lifted up the small bench where the woman with dark circles had been sitting before, and threw at the young man not far away who was frantically pulling out his cell phone and about to make a call. out.

There was only a bang, and the small bench hit the young man's head accurately.

The young man looked dazed, and came back to his senses. He touched the blood streaming down his forehead, rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and even the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground hard.

Shao Yun went to look at the dazed woman with dark circles, and said slowly: "You wait here for a while, the police will be here soon."

Hearing this, the passers-by who were about to ask questions silently put down the sleeves rolled up on their arms.

In just a few minutes, three police cars roared over.

The crowd immediately moved out of the way. The leader was a middle-aged female police officer. Her footsteps were hasty and her tone was sharp: "Who is calling the police?"

"It's me." Shao Yun nodded.

"Where are the traffickers?" The middle-aged policewoman looked serious.

Shao Yun pointed to the middle-aged man under Wei Xiuluo.

"Didn't you say there are two other accomplices?" The middle-aged policewoman asked again.

Onlookers silently carried the fainted young man over.

"There's another one, escaped?" The middle-aged policewoman looked anxious.

Shao Yun turned around and looked at the woman in professional attire with a frightened face.

The woman in professional attire stared wide-eyed, trembling, and shook her head desperately: "No, it's not me..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the middle-aged policeman immediately had a measure in his mind. With a wave of her hand, she took Shao Yunqu and others to the police station.
