Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 1190: Sudden Situation

    

"Someone immediately asked across from him."Yes!"Then, what's the trap for you hereThe man at the front frowned and asked.Perhaps, it's unclear at the moment. We'll have to wait and see.Her eyes rippl...Mr. and Mrs. Xing were first-time travelers, feeling both excited and apprehensive. Throughout the journey, they relied heavily on their daughter, doing whatever she said. Even when using the restroom, they insisted on having her accompany them.

After a day and a night on the train, a family of three finally arrived in Changsha. The green-skin train they were riding was a through train with limited stops here.

First, Lian Yi jumped out of the car window herself, followed by Xing's mother. Then, she climbed up like a monkey, asking Xing Lao to get down. She passed her luggage down one by one.

Mrs. Xing was responsible for watching the luggage, while Mr. Xing helped carry it. The three of them cooperated seamlessly and all successfully got off the train when it started again.

Looking at the bustling station, Xing's mother moved closer to her daughter. While Xing Laogou kept a watchful eye on the crowds of people coming and going, he was also dividing up their luggage. Although his daughter was strong, she couldn't carry all the luggage by herself.

After the three had packed their belongings, they followed the crowd out of the station according to the signs.

Because the train arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, there were quite a few people at the station. As soon as the three of them stepped out, someone surrounded them, speaking in their local dialect and asking if they needed accommodation or transportation.

Ripples waved its hand and said:

"No, someone is picking us up at the exit."

Then he dragged the old couple away.

Li wasn't unwilling to save effort, but these were private transactions right now and not regulated. They looked like outsiders, easy to be cheated. She was with two elderly people, so naturally she had to be more careful.

Xing's elderly couple didn't interrupt either, they just agreed with whatever their daughter said. Before leaving, they were so carefree, but now they are very uneasy.

But when Mrs. Xing looked at her daughter holding onto her hand, she felt much more at ease.

Old Mr. Xing was also pulled along by the ripples, afraid that with so many people, they might get separated. Old Mr. Xing didn't refuse either, he followed his daughter closely, leaving the station first and then talking.

Once they had completely left the station, the family of three let out a sigh of relief. Looking at their clothes, creased and crumpled from being squeezed, and their messy hair, they couldn't help but smile. After all, it was their first time being so disheveled.

"Father and mother, have you packed all your belongings"

"

They're all here, you can rest assured!

"

Xing's mother patted the large suitcase she was carrying and said.

"Don't worry, little sister, I'm keeping an eye on you!"

"Come on, let's go to the bus station first."

With a wave of his hand, Lian Yi, acting on information gathered from the train conductor earlier, headed straight for the bus station.

When I got to the bus stop near the train station, I saw that there were quite a few people waiting for the bus. Most of them had just gotten off the train.

The ripples showed a lot of people, I guess it would be crowded in a while, so I wanted to wait for the next bus. Just then, the bus slowly drove into the station. As soon as the door opened, a crowd surged onto it.

The old couple from the Xing family were a bit hesitant, there were simply too many people. They felt that with their aging limbs, they wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

"Mom and Dad, this car is a bit crowded. Should we wait for the next one"

"Okay."

Mr. Xing immediately nodded in agreement.

"This city is so crowded."

Xíng's mother sighed softly.

Ripples smiled without explanation. Actually, there being many people is one-sided; there's another reason: there are few cars and not so many bus routes, so most people still choose to travel by bicycle.

Although Fuyuan Village is a wealthy village, people there also buy bicycles. However, they are not as common as in the city after all.

"Get on the bus and move inside, don't block the doorway! Buy your ticket as soon as you get on!"

The ticket seller shouted in a loud voice.

The body, which looked like a sardine can, made Ripples regret that she hadn't found a private car earlier. Although it cost more, at least it wouldn't be so cramped.

The front and back doors of the bus were packed with people. After the front door was finally shut, a middle-aged man pulled a little girl out of the back door and grumbled as they got off:

"It's so crowded, let's take a car together."

The little girl was crying and sobbing, her body shrinking back as if trying to avoid the man's tugging.

"Don't cry, I'll buy you an ice cream cone. Let's wait for the next one."

After finishing his words, the man picked up the little girl and brushed past the three of them.

"No, I'm not going with you! I want Grandma!!!"

The little girl had already started to cry, she looked to be about four or five years old, and she could still speak pretty clearly.

"Don't cry, granny. I'll take you to find grandma right away!"

The man had a helpless and exasperated look on his face, clearly someone who'd never been a parent before. It was obvious that the child and father weren't close.

A ripple swept over the father and daughter, his brows furrowed. Just then, as the bus was about to start, the window opened and a white-haired old woman leaned out, screaming in agony:

"Nannan, my granddaughter! Catch the human trafficker!"

The old woman's voice was too shrill, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Lian Ri turned back and saw that the man had already run away.

Ripples tossed her luggage onto the ground and only said:

"Father and mother, wait for me here. Don't go anywhere!"

Without waiting for the two people to answer, he rushed out. The man seemed to have noticed that someone was chasing after him, so he took bigger steps. However, he was still holding a crying child in his arms, which slowed him down.

After chasing ripples for five hundred meters, she seized the opportunity and grabbed the man's shoulder with all her might, crushing his scapula with a forceful grip.

"Ouch!" the man cried out in pain, instinctively releasing his grip from the pain. The child in his arms fell downwards. Ripples reacted quickly, reaching out with his other hand and grabbing the little girl's skirt just in time, preventing her from falling.

The man now saw clearly who had made the move. It was a beautiful young girl, and he immediately threatened her viciously:

Let me go, or else.

The rest of his words were cut short as a ripple kicked him in the knee. This time, the opponent fell to the ground, unable to get up, clutching their knee and howling. Their kneecap was shattered.

Then the ripples gently set the little girl down on the ground and chuckled, saying:

"Don't be afraid, little sister. Would you like me to take you to see Grandma"

The little girl was probably scared by all the sudden changes. Maybe she understood that Ripple was helping her, though there were still tears on her face, she obediently nodded.

At this moment, several more people slowly gathered around. Ripples didn't need to guess to know that they were companions of the man wailing on the ground. Ripples let out a cold smile and crouched down to say to the little girl:

"Nannan, elder sister carries you, come up quickly!"

Perhaps because the ripples called out to the little girl's name, Nanny climbed onto Ripple's back obediently.

After the ripples carried the little girl away, he directly kicked the wailing man unconscious with a kick.

At this time, three men and one woman all gathered around. One man with a face full of flesh spoke:

"If you're sensible, put the child down. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

After finishing his words, he pulled out a spring knife from his pocket and flashed the blade.

The ripples only tilted their head and said to the little girl:

"Nannan, don't be afraid, close your eyes!"

After finishing her speech, she didn't retreat but instead advanced. While protecting the child behind her, she delivered two consecutive side kicks, sending the man's knife flying and kicking him in the temple, knocking the burly man unconscious.

"Let's go together!" two could even say a few words, Yuan Chongming was also pulled up. The two quickly surrounded him. The other person had gauze wrapped around his left arm, which had already been treated simply, and h...
