Chapter 394
Chapter 394
Although Nie Qianyu was only twelve years old, she was still a young girl. Cough cough, she had already grown up and her body was filled with the unique fragrance of a girl. Her movements were like a swallow returning to the forest, but this really put Zhang Xiaohua in a difficult position. Should I step aside and let her pass?
Wouldn't that be letting Miss Nie eat dirt?
However, if I don't step aside, won't I be taking advantage of her?
Although Zhang Xiaohua did not release his divine perception, Nie Qianyu's movements still allowed Zhang Xiaohua to make sufficient movements to avoid her. However, after thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua still stood there bravely and fearlessly.
He only felt a soft and delicate body in his arms and a sweet smell entered his nose. Then, a delicate arm wrapped around Zhang Xiaohua's waist. Zhang Xiaohua swayed and almost fell to the ground. His body, which had been tempered by the Heavenly Thunder and refined by the Qi of Heaven and Earth, had never received such treatment before.
All of a sudden, he seemed to feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Xiaohua was about to reach out and push Nie Qianyu slightly to express to her that it was inappropriate for men and women to touch each other when Nie Qianyu leaned in his arms and cried, "Brother Ren, why are you only back now? Little Orange, she … she has been snatched away!"
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Is it because of my words?
If I had known that I was so powerful, I wouldn't have joked with you guys.
Quickly tell me what happened.
Don't tell me that the bullies of Ping Yang City want to force Little Orange to be his second concubine?
Or did the bandits outside the city want to kidnap her to be their mistress? "
No matter what Zhang Xiaohua said, Nie Qianyu seemed to be frightened and refused to let go. She lay in Zhang Xiaohua's arms and cried non-stop.
Although Zhang Xiaohua couldn't see Nie Qianyu buried in her arms, she could imagine the scene of Nie Qianyu sobbing in the rain. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but pout. "This child doesn't have parents to love her. She's so pitiful."
After about 60 minutes, Nie Qianyu seemed to be tired from crying and realized her impoliteness. She quickly escaped from Zhang Xiaohua's arms and lowered her head, blushing, as if she wanted to hide her little face in front of her chest.
Zhang Xiaohua found it a little funny. She coughed twice and asked, "Little Yu 'er, quickly tell me what's going on with Little Orange.
How did it get snatched away? "
Hearing this, Nie Qianyu quickly looked up and was about to say something, but she saw that Zhang Xiaohua's chest was wet. Wasn't that her tears just now?
She immediately lowered her head in fear.
Zhang Xiaohua walked forward and patted her head. "Little Yu 'er, sit down first and tell me slowly. I'm back, so leave this to me."
Zhang Xiaohua's action of patting her head was a little reckless. He was used to being patted by his parents, eldest brother, and second brother at home, so he naturally thought it was a gesture of comfort. However, Nie Qianyu was a girl, so it was inappropriate to pat her head. Even if it was some other part of her body, it was a big taboo to pat her head without permission.
Fortunately, before Nie Qianyu could dodge, her head was patted by Zhang Xiaohua's sneaky hand. Nie Qianyu looked up a little unhappily. When she saw Zhang Xiaohua's calm smile, she felt a lot more at ease. She felt that the hand patting her head was a thousand times warmer and made her feel safe.
Nie Qianyu obediently sat on the edge of the bed and recounted everything that had happened after Zhang Xiaohua left.
It turned out that ever since Zhang Xiaohua left in the snow on the sixth day of the first lunar month, although Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were angry at Zhang Xiaohua's joke, the two girls felt isolated in this unfamiliar Ping Yang City. Therefore, they almost never went out. They only strolled in the courtyard when the sky cleared up. If they had nothing to do, they would stay in the house and joke around. It was no different from when they were in the boudoir in the mountain villa. The only difference was that many of their conversations involved the heartless thief who left them in this inn and left alone.
However, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky finally cleared up. It was another day to see the lanterns. Even the lanterns in Lu Town attracted Zhang Xiaohua's attention, not to mention the grand and lively lanterns in Ping Yang City.
Therefore, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange finally couldn't resist the clamor outside the inn and walked out of the door for the first time.
The liveliness was actually secondary. The most important thing was that in Nie Qianyu's hometown, Carefree City, there was another custom on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. That was, young girls could write their wishes on paper and place it on the lotus lanterns on the river. If the god of the water favored it, it would open the girl's paper and fulfill this lucky girl's wish.
In the past, Nie Qianyu didn't have any major wishes and would do them casually. Today, however, was the first time she had a major wish. Therefore, she didn't care if this custom existed in Ping Yang City. She pulled Little Orange along and wanted to go shopping for lotus lanterns.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua's words made sense. Nie Qianyu was only a twelve-year-old girl. Her body was still developing and her appearance wasn't outstanding. Although Little Orange had delicate features and was a beauty, she was still a girl after all. She didn't have a threatening aura. The two of them wouldn't cause any trouble on the streets.
However, Man proposes, God disposes. Since Ping Yang City didn't have the custom of placing lotus lanterns, they only found something they were satisfied with after walking around for a long time. Coincidentally, just as they walked out of the lantern shop, they saw a blind man setting up a stall by the street. There were a few words on the stall: "Seeking Future and Marriage".
Nie Qianyu's mind was preoccupied with the idea of placing the lanterns at night and didn't notice at all. However, Little Orange saw it and couldn't move her feet. She insisted on dragging Miss to take a look at the stall and said, "Helping Miss find marriage."
How could Nie Qianyu not understand Little Orange's intention? Hence, the two of them went forward to perform a divination. The blind man asked for their birth characters and gave them two divination signs. One was above average, which fulfilled Little Orange's wish. The other was below average, which ruined Nie Qianyu's good mood.
Nie Qianyu pouted and tipped them a few coins. As she walked, she said, "Not allowed, not allowed. It's too unlucky." However, when it was time to place the lanterns at night, her face was still gloomy.
Little Orange carefully placed the lanterns for Miss. She even specially said that the Water God was definitely more powerful than the blind man. Only then did Nie Qianyu feel slightly relieved.
However, just as they turned the corner and returned to the inn, a man in black suddenly flew down from the wall beside them. He stretched out his hand and sealed their acupoints. Before Nie Qianyu fainted, she clearly saw the man's figure. Wasn't he the blind man who performed a divination on the street earlier?
When Nie Qianyu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. In the room of the inn, she heard from the innkeeper that he went out to look for friends last night and happened to see the man in black committing a crime. The man in black seemed to have seen someone appear and hurriedly ran away. Only then did he leave Nie Qianyu behind and not kidnap her.
At that time, Nie Qianyu was so scared that her face turned ashen. She didn't dare to take half a step out of the inn. She didn't even have the thought of reporting it to the authorities. The innkeeper always said that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. If the victim didn't report it, then what did it have to do with him?
Therefore, he kept it a secret.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua finally understood the way the innkeeper looked at her. Of course, she was missing but didn't dare to report it to the authorities. The innkeeper thought that she was a human trafficker.
Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Little Yu 'er, is Little Orange's birthday on the seventh day of the seventh month?"
"Ah?" Nie Qianyu was shocked and said, "How did you know?"
Immediately, her face turned ashen and she said, "She even told you this?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "When did Little Orange tell me?
Why didn't I know? "
"You, you know that you already know Little Orange's birthday. I didn't tell you. She didn't tell you either. Did you dream about it?"
Zhang Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She laughed and told her what happened in Lu Town. Nie Qianyu then laughed through her tears and said, "I thought you were blind."
"Blind?
Haha. "Zhang Xiaohua also laughed and said," If I were blind, I wouldn't kidnap people. "
Then, he frowned and said, "I didn't think so much that day. I just wanted the authorities to intervene in this human trafficker's matter. However, I forgot to interrogate the man in black. It was really negligent."
"Yes, Big Brother Ren. It's been almost ten days. I wonder if Little Orange is still alive?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua was calm. That was because, as Nie Qianyu said, it had been ten days. If something had happened, it would have happened long ago. Moreover, the kidnapping of the little girl by the men in black in Lu Town was probably an organized and planned collective event. It should be different from the usual plucking. Little Orange's real concern should be her life and nothing else.
"But, Big Brother Ren, what should we do now?
I didn't dare to report it to the authorities at that time. If the authorities asked about my background, I was afraid that I would attract the attention of the bad guys again. So … I've been waiting for Big Brother to come over for the past few days. Don't you think I'm too selfish? "
Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Little Yu 'er is very smart. It's very right not to report it to the authorities. Didn't you hear me say that that day at … the place I went, the authorities couldn't wait to run away. Why would they care?
The authorities in Ping Yang City might be better. However, once they ask about your background, it's not wise for you to fall into their trap first, not to mention Little Orange. "
"Then, Big Brother Ren, do you think I did the right thing?"
Zhang Xiaohua gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's more than right. You're extremely smart."
Nie Qianyu's face flushed red. The grievances and grievances that she had been suppressing in her heart for the past ten days had long disappeared.
After interacting with her for a few months, Zhang Xiaohua knew that this girl had always been competitive. However, she was still young and immature. When faced with such a situation, it was difficult for her to have the best of both worlds. He laughed and said, "Alright, I'm back. Leave Little Orange's matter to me. Look at your haggard face. You'd better rest more."
Then, he looked around and said, "Little Yu 'er, I'll go next door. You sleep."
"Big Brother Ren …"
