Qin put down the car and walked to her side and squatted down: "Little sister, where are your parents?"

The little girl's inherent sensitivity mentality is that she meets a strange man in the middle of the night. Whether she is a 20-year-old or an 80-year-old, she will probably be afraid. Qin Fang knows this a little, so when talking to her, she try to make her voice softer and smile...

He should have a friendly smile, but he felt that his degree might not be controlled well, because the girl's reaction exceeded all his expectations.

She was not afraid of retreating and crying loudly, nor was she stupid or laughing when she saw people. She stared at him with a strange look. At first, she seemed to have a little joy, but in the blink of an eye, it was filled with disdain and inexplicable irritability.

No, no, maybe I am thinking too much. How can such a young girl control so many complicated emotions?

It wasn't that right? Qin Fang felt that the muscles on his face were getting stiff. He didn't laugh so hard when he was facing a girl he wanted to please.

Qin Fang regretted a little: He is not good at dealing with such a young child, so he should call Yiru over, and the girl should be closer to her sister.

"Little sister, it's so late, why are you walking alone on the road?"

After asking, Qin Fang suddenly became a little uncertain: Is she three or four years old?

Such a young child should be able to speak, right?

Fortunately, she finally spoke, a little angry: "I don't call me little sister."

Qin Fang sighed, very well, just be willing to speak. He spoke as she said: "What's your name?"

She said, "What's your business?"

It’s really funny. Are children now so difficult to deal with?

Qin Fang patiently reasoned with her: "Little sister, do you know that you are walking on the road alone in the middle of the night?

There are many bad people in this society…”

"I've said that I don't call me little sister."

When she said this, her eyes widened, she grabbed the strap of her schoolbag with both hands, and looked like a little tiger in a tense way. Qin Fang held back her smile: "Then tell me what your name is. If you don't say it, I can only call you little sister."

Her answer almost made Qin Fang's blood almost rush into her mind: "I told you, would you buy me something to eat?"

Yi Ru sat on the chairs by the window of the convenience store and looked out. When she saw Qin Fang's car stop, she felt happy, but then she wondered: after Qin Fang's car got off the car, she did not go here immediately, but went around the other side of the car, as if she was opening the passenger's door.

Then, a little girl came over from the front of the car. She was small, probably a little taller than the tire. After walking two steps, I wonder if she was tired. Qin Fang leaned over to help her take off her small schoolbag and slapped it on her arm. Such a tall man carried a pink Minnie's schoolbag, which was really...

Yi Ru was both shocked and funny. She was stunned for a while before she went out. The stairs at the door of the convenience store were very high, and the little girl was struggling to climb. When Qin Fang reached out to help, Yi Ru heard her yelling unhappily: "I can walk."

Qin Fang had no choice but to reach out to protect him from behind. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't thank him at all. After climbing to the top, he rushed straight to the store. Yi Ru, who was facing the door, looked at Qin Fang, and his mouth was clearly asking: "Who is she?"

Qin Fang smiled bitterly: "I picked it up on the road."

I picked it up on the road, Yi Ru felt more at ease. She looked back at the girl who was tiptoeing to pick up this and that on the side of the shelf: "Have you called the police?

Are the family members very anxious?”

Qin Fang shook his head: "I haven't had time to do it yet, let's go later."

He went to the shelf to get a box of alcohol cotton balls and checked out. When the little girl took out the bag of shrimp strips and bit it, Qin Fang dragged a chair and sat down in front of her, picked up a cotton ball in his hand: "Come on, look up."

When he was in the car, he noticed that the little guy had a big mountain bag on his head, and the oily skin was bright.

The skin was broken, and it hurt a little when the alcohol was rubbed on it. The little girl was snorted and hid back. When she looked sideways, Qin Fang's eyes suddenly stumbled in her heart.

Yi Ru smiled and came over: "Why don't I do it."

The little girl noticed that Yi Ru and Qin Fang were together. She held half of the shrimp strips in her mouth and didn't chew them anymore. After looking at Yi Ru for a while, she asked Qin Fang: "Who is she?"

Qin Fang glanced at her: "Why should I tell you?

You didn't even say what your name is."

She snorted in her nose, Qin Fang thought she would be stubborn and silent, but who knew that after a while, she slowly said, "My name is Xizhu."

Xizhu?

This name seems familiar. Qin Fang was wondering if he had heard it somewhere. Yi Ru asked in a strange tone: "West, west, south, north, and west?

Bamboo of bamboo?"

"Yeah, where."

Xizhu answered casually and reached out and picked up a shrimp bar and stuffed it into her mouth. Yi Ru's face was a little excited. Just as he was about to say something, Qin Fang suddenly stood up: "Yi Ru, come out with me."

The shrimp bars on Xizhu were biting, and it turned out that she was called Yiru.

Yi Ru was very excited and spoke a little incoherently: "Qin Fang, she is my mother's...that Xizhu."

That’s right, it must be the mother’s newly adopted daughter. Her name matches her body and figure is similar to the back I saw that day. Moreover, Qin Fang picked her up nearby, which happened to be near Kong Jinghua’s residence...

Yi Ru was so anxious that she had been waiting downstairs of Kong Jinghua for a long time before. The lamp was turned off long ago, and her mother must have gone to bed. This little girl probably had sneaked out. She might not know yet. If she knew, she would be crazy.

Qin Fang interrupted her in a deep voice: "Yiru."

His voice was rarely solemn: "Did you see the wound on Xizhu's face?"

Is there any?

Yiru didn't pay attention.

"Have your mom...beat you before?"

Yi Ru finally understood the intention of Qin Fang's previous question. She shook her head with some displeasure: "No."

“Never?”

"Never, my mother never touched me a single finger."

This is strange, Qin Fang pondered and said nothing.

The lights on the road and in the car were dim before. He only saw the bags bulging out of Xizhu's forehead. When he arrived at the convenience store to apply alcohol to her, he found that there were faint marks on her left cheek and bruises on her lower jaw, as if they were pinched out of her fingernails.

Not Kong Jinghua, could it be...

Qin Fang suddenly thought that in so long, he had never heard Yi Ru talk about her father.

Yi Ru seemed to see what he was thinking. She bit her lip, with a blurry meaning: "Mom and dad have never had a good relationship. They separated when I was very young, but it seems that they have never had a formal divorce. To be honest, I have no impression of my father, and my mom has always taken me alone."

"Is it possible that after you had an accident, your mother felt that she was too spoiled to you at that time, so she later adopted her daughter, and the education method was a bit... strict?"

Yi Ru was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, she was a little nervous: "I can't deny this, maybe, but Qin Fang, do you have to think it's my mother's problem?"

Which girl, a three or four-year-old girl, has the courage to sneak out by herself?

Why don’t you think Xizhu has problems with herself?”

At this point, both of them looked at the store. Xizhu didn't eat anymore. She lay on the table, her arms folded and her chin was matted, and she yawned boredly.

Qin Fang smiled faintly: "You don't have to think too much, I'm just asking."

Only then did Yi Ru realize that she had lost her composure just now, and she was a little dull: "Then... can you send her back?

It’s very troublesome to call the police. She sneaked out. My mother probably hasn’t noticed it yet. I know you can send her back..."

Qin Fang glanced at her, and Yi Ru's heart skipped a beat and stopped talking.

Although Qin Fang had never told her about her, after getting along for a long time, she gradually realized that Qin Fang was very capable of being unable to do anything to some ordinary people. After the initial shock, she felt a vaguely happy in her heart, feeling that she knew and protected a secret that only people close to her could understand.

"When she falls asleep, she runs away from home by herself. If she tells her to send her back, there will be trouble again."

Xizhu has yawned several times, and the child's body brings children's worries, not as hard as it can withstand the night as it was when adults were adults.

As the night fell, the temperature lowered, and Xizhu felt a little cold. When Qin Weng came in, she was curling up into the chair while yawning. Qin Weng took off his coat and covered her. After a while, it slipped. He had to put it on and put it on. When she took her arm and sent it into the sleeve, she suddenly asked him: "Qin Fang, who is Yi Ru?"

Qin Fang remained silent: "I'll take you in a car and buy you something to eat. If you're cold, you'll wear clothes for you. Shouldn't you call me uncle?"

Xizhu closed her eyelids up and down, and she held her mouth with disdain.

Qin Fang gathered the garbage on the table and sent it to the trash can in the corner of the convenience store. Yi Ru followed him, and hesitated: "I will find a way to remind my mother and slap her indirectly about the departure of Xizhu. Don't worry, I know my mother. She is really a good mother. It's impossible to treat Xizhu as bad as you think..."

“Yiru.”

"Um?"

Yi Ru looked up at Qin Fang, his face looked a little strange, and his thoughts seemed to be completely different from what she had just said. It took a long time to speak.
