Chapter 7: Setting Off Again

Zhuo Le added, The child is chubby and smells of milk.

The clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, but the materials were similar to those of the two women who claimed to be his mothers, but neither of the women was breastfeeding, and neither of them smelled of milk.

People who are not breastfeeding, do not smell of milk, and wear such clothes cannot afford to raise such a chubby child with a milky smell.

In other words, families who don’t breastfeed and feed their children formula can’t afford to raise such a child.

Police Officer Zhong tapped the table. Those people changed the child’s clothes to cover up their tracks, but it became a case of burying their heads in the sand, making it obvious that they were trying to hide something.

Zhuo Le: I guess those people’s plan was that when the second woman asked me for the child, under normal circumstances, I should have exposed the first woman. Once the first woman denied it, my identity as a human trafficker would be established, and then they could easily take me away under the pretext of sending me to the police.

It’s just that the plan failed again and again, so they had to give up and leave.

However, everyone is very righteous, so they couldn’t get away.

Police Officer Zhong sized up Zhuo Le. On the outside, she was very weak. Not only was she weak on the outside, but the aura she exuded and the tone of her voice were also very weak.

She was also very beautiful, like a delicate doll, like a little girl who didn’t know the ways of the world, easy to bully, easy to handle, and not at all aggressive.

The fact was that she had a clear head, acted rationally, and had a very stable mentality.

She only needed to say a few words to achieve her own goals.

Moreover, she could easily avoid being surrounded by so many people, so she was definitely not as weak and helpless as she looked on the surface.

Therefore, none of the wives of soldiers are ordinary people.

Police Officer Zhong withdrew his gaze and looked at Wei Xiaojia, Little comrade, we have also caught the person who tried to attack you at the entrance of the toilet. Can you tell Uncle about the situation at that time?

Wei Xiaojia sat up straight like a little adult, with a serious face, I needed to pee, so Mountain King took me to the toilet.

I went to the cubicle, and Mountain King waited for me outside the cubicle.

An uncle said that Mountain King was scary and told it to leave, so I told Mountain King to wait for me outside the toilet.

When I came out of the cubicle, an uncle suddenly came over and pulled me, saying that the train was about to leave and told me to hurry up.

I didn’t want to, so he claimed to be my dad and forcibly hugged me. I made a fuss, and he told the other uncles that I was disobedient, so the others didn’t help me.

Without the uncles’ help, I could only do it myself. Dad taught me how to fight, so I tripped the bad uncle, and he was very angry and took out a handkerchief to cover my mouth.

Mountain King came in and knocked him unconscious with one paw.

He was four years old, but his little mouth was more slippery than that of a seven- or eight-year-old child.

He raised his little fist with great pride.

Zhuo Le praised with starry eyes, My son is too amazing, so great.

Wei Xiaojia was even more proud.

Mountain King also wagged its tail triumphantly.

Police Officer Zhong had another moment of heart attack. He was indeed very powerful, so powerful that he was like a little soldier. He had to praise him, like father, like son.

But wasn’t the mother worried about praising her son so much, praising the little guy so much that he was fearless and dared to face any danger head-on in the future?

Police Officer Chen was worried that the little guy was thirsty, so she specially made him some sugar water. Such a well-behaved child was too likable.

Wei Xiaojia said sweetly, Thank you, Sister.

Police Officer Chen’s heart softened, You’re welcome.

After understanding the situation, Police Officer Zhong looked at Zhuo Le, We have brought that person back. After our colleagues woke him up, they interrogated him. The two groups should be together. They got off the same train as you and may have been targeting you on the train.

Zhuo Le nodded, indicating that she knew.

Afterwards, Police Officer Zhong asked some more details. There were no problems. Zhuo Le signed her name, which was considered the end.

Police Officer Zhong: Officer Wei bought you hard sleeper tickets for 7:00 pm. It’s still early, you can rest in our police station, or you can put your things here and go out for a walk.

Wei Xiaojia asked, Police Uncle, some of our things are missing, can we find them back?

Police Officer Zhong said, “The situation at the time was very chaotic, and there were many petty thefts. I can’t guarantee that I can help you find everything back, but I can only do my best. You can leave a list with me, and if I really can’t find them back, I’ll help you apply for a subsidy from the leaders.”

Wei Xiaojia was a little disappointed, but the little head of the family quickly cheered up, “Thank you, Police Uncle. It’s good if you can find them back, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t. We don’t want a subsidy, Mommy, is that okay?”

Zhuo Le had no objections, “Of course, my son’s decision is very good.”

The little guy was happy and smiled so wide that his teeth couldn’t be seen.

The two police officers were envious again, wanting a son like that.

The mother and son put their things in the police station and took Mountain King to go shopping.

They left in a hurry in the morning, and the train was messy, so they didn’t eat too much. The things they ate after getting off the train were stolen, and they had to be on the train for two days and two nights after that, so they had to restock.

The two and a dog walked out of the police station, and the young man squatting at the entrance of the police station hurried to meet them.

“You’re out, are you okay? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have suspected you of being a human trafficker.”

Zhuo Le glanced at him, “It’s okay.”

The young man was a little embarrassed by Zhuo Le’s indifferent attitude, “My name is Zheng Duobao, and I live in Dongzhou City. This is my contact information. If you go to Dongzhou City, you can come to me and let me do my best as a host and also express my apology.”

Zhuo Le’s eyebrows twitched slightly, he was quite sincere.

“Uncle, give it to me.” A small hand reached out, looking very much like the head of the family.

Zheng Duobao changed direction and put the note in Wei Xiaojia’s hand, “Welcome you and Mommy to visit Uncle’s house, and Mountain King too.”

“Okay.” Wei Xiaojia nodded.

Mountain King wagged its tail.

Zhuo Le smiled.

After separating from Zheng Duobao, the two and a dog went to the nearest shopping mall.

In the 1980s, all kinds of shops were springing up like mushrooms after rain, and shopping malls had also opened all over the towns.

Although buying things still required tickets, it was not as difficult and scarce as before. Now, most things can be bought without tickets.

The mother and son bought a lot of biscuits, candy, canned fruit, canned meat, and also bought a bag of expensive milk powder.

They also went to the breakfast shop and bought all the steamed buns they hadn’t sold.

Then they found a restaurant, and the two and a dog had a full meal.

At six o’clock, they took their things to the train station and boarded the train on time at seven o’clock.

Officer Wei used his connections to help buy hard sleeper tickets, and even specially got a temporary certificate for Mountain King to avoid being criticized.

Compared to the standing ticket car, the hard sleeper car was much better.

“Mommy, we haven’t said thank you to Uncle Wei yet.” The little one settled the luggage and Mommy, and was a little melancholy, puffing up his bun face and sighing like a little adult.

Zhuo Le leaned on the lower bunk, eating the biscuits that her son handed over, “It’s okay, next time we pass by here, we can bring a gift to Uncle Wei.”

Wei Xiaojia was happy, “Okay, I’m going to choose the best gift for Uncle Wei.”

Zhuo Le touched his little head, “My son is so sensible, Mommy is thirsty, can you and Mountain King help Mommy get some water? Don’t get burned.”

“Got it.” The little one went happily, and Mountain King followed behind like a loyal guard.

The woman on the opposite bed looked at Zhuo Le, wanting to say something but stopped, and finally closed her mouth.

Wei Xiaojia quickly came back, like a hardworking little bee, adding a few scoops of milk powder to the kettle and handing it to Zhuo Le’s mouth.

Mommy took a sip, and he took a sip. After drinking, he closed the lid and put it on the bedside.

He also took out a book from his bag and hugged it in his arms, stuck out his butt and climbed onto the bed, took off his shoes, and snuggled into Zhuo Le’s arms.

Zhuo Le opened the book and taught Wei Xiaojia to read word by word.

Mountain King picked up the mother and son’s shoes and placed them together, and also picked up the quilt for the mother and son to cover, its huge body lying on the ground, listening quietly, its ears twitching from time to time, as if it really understood.

The familiar movements of the two and a dog in their respective fields stunned the people in the same car, and they were very curious about this family’s way of getting along.
