light dark

Su Chengfa was stunned for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the security uncle was already in place, so he also calmed down and glanced around.

This should be a T-shaped alley. He and the security guard are standing on both sides. The child should be hiding in the corner, and the muffled cry came from that side.

Obviously, even though a child is young, he knows how to suppress his voice.

Su Chengyao exchanged glances with Uncle Security, then bowed his back and walked slowly towards the middle.

The moss on the ground is so thick that you can even feel the slight pressure when you step on it.

It's hard to imagine how such a small child dared to come and hide alone in such a dark place.

Seeing that the two were about to meet in the middle, Uncle Security stepped on a dead branch.

"Crack."

The voice was very subtle, but the crying in the depths of the alley stopped abruptly.

Su Cheng: "..."

The security uncle looked at Su Cheng embarrassingly, and even gestured to express his embarrassment, which was not intentional.

Su Cheng naturally understood, but now that he has been discovered, it seems that he doesn't need to be careful.

Thinking about it, Su Cheng simply stood up straight and was about to stride forward when he saw Xiaodouding rushing towards him, so fast that there was no chance for anyone to react, almost subconsciously, Su Cheng reached out to stop him. for a moment.

however……

"Don't let him run away."

"elder brother!"

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously, and then Xiao Douding rushed to Su Cheng's side and hugged Su Cheng's leg.

Su Cheng's body froze almost uncontrollably, and he just froze in place.

Probably because the person holding him was a child, he didn't feel serious rejection, but the feeling of psychological discomfort and unconscious body stiffness still existed.

Uncle Security has already rushed over, and the Second Monk Zhengzhang looked at Su Cheng puzzledly: "What's going on here?"

It wasn't Su Cheng who answered him, but Xiao Douding said again: "Brother, woo~"

"You guys know each other?" Uncle Security glanced suspiciously at the two of them.

Su Cheng finally woke up from the stress reaction, and while lowering his head to pull the child away, he was about to deny it.

But the line of sight inadvertently glanced under the child's dirty and old clothes, and there were more than one scars made out of it somehow. It looked like it was caused by long-term abuse.

Su Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly thought of another person.That person told him that when he was a child, he was often locked up and beaten. Sometimes, he didn't even dare to cry too loudly, because crying would only lead to more beatings...

Su Cheng's heart suddenly wrinkled and ached.

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't answer for a long time, the security uncle was even more confused. He came over and wanted to pat Su Cheng on the shoulder, but Su Cheng avoided him again.

Uncle Security was startled.

"No, I'm sorry, I..." Su Cheng didn't know how to explain for a while.

Uncle Security shook his head, but his gaze caught sight of his waving hand, and then at the obviously dirtier child...

Why is he so uncomfortable?It felt like I had some deadly virus on my hands.

Su Cheng just looked at Uncle Security's eyes wandering in two places, and then showed a suspicious expression...

Did he accidentally hurt the uncle's self-esteem! ? ?

"Brother, I'm afraid, woo~"

Xiao Douding's voice sounded again, finally breaking the silence of the two adults.

The security uncle looked sleepy: "Is this little thing looking for you?"

Su Cheng hesitated: "Ah...well."

"Really?" Uncle Security didn't believe it again.

Su Cheng glanced at Xiao Douding's wet eyes, okay, let's take him out of the community first.

"Yes."

……

Uncle security finally let them go.

In fact, Su Cheng suspected that Uncle Security could see that he had nothing to do with Xiao Douding at all, but Xiao Douding had a big brother, and he looked pitiful, probably he was moved with compassion.

Before leaving, the uncle also told him to "bring people home well", which made Su Cheng confirm his guess.

Because there was an extra little Douding, Su Cheng didn't buy any more ice powder, and took Xiao Douding out through the front door.It was too hot outside, so he planned to take Xiaodouding back to the pet shop first, and then ask about it.

As everyone knows, he dragged a child out of the front door so openly, which immediately caused a big disturbance in the security field.

But this is all off topic, let's not talk about it.

When Su Cheng brought Xiao Douding back to the pet shop, Luo Xuebin was no longer there, only Xia Wanwan was sitting at the counter, and she raised her head happily when she saw him come back, but when she saw clearly the...

"Is this ice powder turned into essence?" Xia Wanwan opened her mouth wide.

Su Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to explain what happened to Xia Wanwan first.

During this period, Xiao Douding has been hiding behind Su Cheng, sobbing, but looking at the shop with big eyes.

Xia Wanwan became interested, and ran out to observe Xiao Douding: "I didn't expect you to lie, Cheng Zi, not bad! Little guy, where do you live?"

Although Xia Wanwan was full of smiles, it's a pity that Xiao Douding didn't buy it. As soon as she got closer, she shrank Su Cheng's legs.

Su Cheng was also very helpless: "I've already asked, and she said she doesn't remember where her home is."

Xia Wanwan pursed her lips: "She's so young, it's possible she doesn't remember, but looking at her...why doesn't it look like she doesn't remember?"

When he said the last sentence, Su Cheng clearly felt Xiaodouding tremble.

Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that it wasn't that he didn't remember, but that he had something else hidden.

Xia Wanwan also noticed it, and suddenly smiled slyly: "Little friend, tell me where you live, and I will play with the dog for you."

Talking about the Teddy who tied his finger on the leg of the chair, Teddy whispered "Aww" very appropriately, and looked over with wet eyes.

That appearance is simply a replica of Xiaodouding.

One person and one dog looked at each other, just when Xia Wanwan thought she was going to succeed, she heard Xiao Douding's soft voice say, "No."

Xia Wanwan: "..."

I don't want to lose face, you reject me like that?

Xia Wanwan suddenly lost interest in teasing the child, "You can take her inside, if someone saw her outside, it will spread the word again."

Su Cheng responded, and took Xiao Douding to the grocery room where he lived.

Without the interference of the external environment, Xiao Douding's sobbing stopped, and she quietly huddled in a corner when she entered the room, but she was unwilling to say anything.

It was Xia Wanwan who was careful, and took a few small breads that she usually satiated her hunger with, mixed a bowl of honey water, and asked Su to present it to Xiao Douding.

When Xiao Douding was full, Su Cheng tried to communicate with her again, but after spending a lot of time, Xiao Douding still refused to say anything.

In the end, Su Cheng lost his patience and threatened to send her directly to the police station, Xiao Douding pouted, and began to talk with a mournful face.

But after all, she is young, and her logic is not as clear as that of an adult. Su Cheng spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.

——It turns out that although this child looks thin and small, he is actually almost five years old, and what is even more unexpected is that this child came from a human trafficker...

Uh, because Xiao Douding couldn't express clearly, Su Cheng tentatively regarded the place where several children were kept in captivity as a den of human traffickers - Xiao Douding ran out from there.

The wound on her body was also caused by a woman there.

According to Xiao Douding, the place is very small, but there are three adults and five children living there. They eat very poorly every day, and sometimes they don’t even have enough to eat, so the little brother will go to steal the milk.

When the adults found out, they praised the younger brother and asked him to steal more, but the younger brother refused, so they said they would break his legs and let him ask for money.

It was precisely because Xiao Douding heard these words that she was frightened, so she ran out secretly while the adults were not paying attention, but she was very scared, that's why she kept crying.

Su Cheng didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing even when he went out to buy ice powder.

He didn't have much experience in this kind of thing, so he asked Xia Wanwan to discuss it, but Xia Wanwan already had experience?

Obviously, she couldn't think of anything other than calling the police.

But when Xiao Douding heard that he wanted to call the police, he burst into tears, and when he asked urgently, he said, "Godfather said, he will, he will be killed, woo woo..."

It seems that some of the children also thought of calling the police, but those villains threatened them that if they called the police, they would beat them to death.

Looking at the injuries on Xiao Douding's body, they must have suffered a lot of beatings, and they have long been afraid of those bad guys.

Su Cheng and Xia Wanwan looked at each other, it seemed that they could only call the police while Xiao Douding was asleep.

But Xiao Douding not only didn't sleep, but also dragged Su Cheng out: "Go save little brother, or you will be beaten to death."

It's normal for Xiao Douding to have such worries. Since she ran away, if those bad guys can't find her, they will definitely take revenge on the remaining children. Moreover, the longer the time passes, the more likely those people will transfer.

Su Cheng's thoughts changed sharply, and he winked at Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan was in a hurry: "Brother Xuebin should be back soon, wait for him to come back and go with you."

But Su Cheng thought of what Uncle Security had said earlier, and what Xiao Douding said just now... They went to the factory area several times to steal milk... Su Cheng reckoned that the place where those people lived should not be too far away from this area, Coupled with Xiaodouding's anxious look...

"Forget it, I'll go first."

Su Cheng rejected Xia Wanwan's kindness. He knew that Xia Wanwan was thinking about his safety, but he may have fought more dogs than Xia Wanwan washed, so now is not the time to back down.

He knew that he had no kind heart, he just thought of someone who had done so many good deeds and saved himself a few times.

Then can I do some good deeds myself, just treat it as... just pass on his kindness.

Because of this secret thought in his heart, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Xia Wanwan was even more anxious: "You still laugh, in case..."

"No chance," Su Cheng interrupted Xia Wanwan. He couldn't explain why he laughed, but he could promise to comfort him, "Don't worry, Miss Wanwan, I have learned self-defense."

Where did he learn some self-defense techniques, but he learned the true knowledge through practice.

But Xia Wanwan believed it.

Su Cheng gestured to her to make a phone call again, signaling to call the police after he left.

Only then did Xia Wanwan feel completely relieved.

……

After Su Cheng and Xiao Douding left the pet shop, they went straight out of Banjie Lane.

Xiao Douding looked at Xiao, but his memory was very good, he just looked around, then pulled Su Cheng forward, reached an intersection, took a look around, and continued walking.

Regarding the route, Su Cheng didn't have the slightest doubt, but he still asked Xiaodouding some other questions, hoping to learn as much information as possible before arriving at the destination.

But Xiaodouding has always kept it secret.

If it weren't for the fact that her injuries were real, and her previous fears didn't seem fake, Su Cheng would have suspected that it was a trap.

He even thought of the dream from a long time ago, the little Douding in the dream and the one in front of him... Su Cheng lowered his head and looked, hey, they are really similar.

That one is a little more awkward, and the one in front of me looks miserable, but it's a ghost.

However, Su Cheng has always been vigilant, it is always right to be careful.
