Chapter 111: Finding Someone (2)

  Ye Baiji suddenly realized that he hadn't even told her his name yet, and she was already following him. How could her vigilance be so lax?

  That man walked two steps and found no one following behind, turned back to see the two still standing there, came back and asked: "Little girl, why aren't you leaving? You're not looking for Cao Wei, are you? That kid is right up front."

  "Thank you, uncle. Let's go find Dad and Uncle together. We've come with many people to look for Brother Cao. Now that we've found my sister, we must inform them, or they'll be searching in vain." Zhen'er said, then pulled Ye Baiju back as they walked away.

  "Hey, little girl," the man, who didn't want anyone to follow him, especially a grown man, blocked their way and said with a smile: "Why don't we go find Cao Wei first, and then all go see your uncle together? It'll save them another trip."

  Zhen'er is now even more certain that this person has ill intentions. If he truly wanted to help people, why would he still be making moves on the little girls and not letting them find their elders? Fortunately, she had never relaxed her vigilance and didn't go with him to a remote area, otherwise the two little girls would have been in real trouble.

  "We can't make the decision, we have to ask Father and Uncle, they are also looking for Cao Gege. Just now, I greeted the person in charge of the dock, I'll go tell him, then trouble Uncle to take us there, how about that?" Zhen'er saw the man's face reveal a fierce light, while people nearby seemed not to have seen anything, thinking of what she had heard before, this dock was full of all sorts of people, everyone took care of themselves, who would stand up for two unfamiliar little girls? This person dared to block them openly here, seemingly also having backing.

  That man, upon hearing that they wanted to find the master, smiled even more brightly on his face, and the disdain in his eyes grew even stronger. He casually waved his hand and said, "No need to tell him, that master is my sister's husband. I'll just have someone talk to him, and first, I'll take you to see Cao Wei. Wait until he tells your parents, they'll come too. Hurry up, little girl. If Cao Wei finishes work, I won't know where he'll go."

  If they had left earlier, Ye Luyuan and Cao Yeshi would not have known where they went, which was what Zhen'er thought in her heart. Seeing this person's expression becoming more and more presumptuous, with a hint of impatience between his eyebrows, wanting to pull them over with every move, she felt very anxious inside.

  Ye Baiji had never met someone like this before, and she didn't have any experience in dealing with them. At this moment, she might as well be a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, facing the man with an expression of displeasure, her hands on her hips, and scolding: "What's wrong with you? My sister already said that we need to tell our family first before going to find someone. What are you dragging along? Don't you know about the rules of propriety between men and women? Just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean I won't speak up, as an elder, you should act like one! You're being so frivolous, aren't you losing face?"

  The dock is never short of excitement, nor is it short of onlookers. Usually, when a gang fights or people from different gangs compete for business, they will fight. Although the bystanders are afraid of getting into trouble, they still can't help but sneak a peek. At this moment, a little girl scolds someone, and everyone thinks it's fresh. Before long, a crowd gathers around.

  That man, although he wanted to get rid of the two girls, didn't dare do it in front of everyone, especially since many people around were familiar faces from the docks. He pretended to be angry and scolded: "You little girl, don't you know what's good for you? I thought you were looking for someone, and coincidentally, I know that person too, so I kindly offered to take you to find them. How could you turn around and frame me instead? Everyone, judge this for yourselves, is there any logic in doing a good deed and ending up being wronged?"

  The people next to them didn't understand, and after hearing him say that, they all jumped to conclusions and thought that Zhen'er and the others were being unreasonable. They chimed in, saying: "Young girl, how can you be like this? They're just trying to help you with good intentions."

  "It's just that nowadays people look at your status and position before speaking, they think we're just dockworkers, so they look down on us, thinking we're bad people."

  These words are heart-wrenching and subjective, maybe others have misunderstood like this before.

  People who have gone through similar experiences nearby also nodded in agreement, echoing in unison.

  Zhen Er watched anxiously, when people are deceived, no matter what, they all hope that the mistake is not on their side, because if the mistake is on their side, then their image will also be damaged. Moreover, in doing anything, they fear that their opponents will form an alliance, at this time, you will be at a disadvantage, and all you can do is to divide them.

  Although silly, she can now think of nothing but this trick.

  "Waaahhh... Sister, I want to find Brother Cao Wei... Didn't you say he was at the dock moving goods? " Zhen'er rubbed her eyes and soon tears flowed out, crying extremely sorrowfully: "I want to find Brother Cao Wei... Why isn't Brother Cao Wei here... This uncle said he would take us to find brother, why is he holding my hand all along... Waaahhh, I want Brother Cao Wei."

  She didn't believe it, really no one knew Cao Wei, and this disgusting person's character was unknown.

  She cried sadly, occasionally turning her head to give Ye Baiji a wink. Ye Baiji and Zhen'er still had some tacit understanding, and after a while, she understood what Zhen'er meant. Moreover, she also knew that Zhen'er was helping her. After all, Zhen'er looked like she was only seven or eight years old, and it didn't matter if a big man held her hand. But if someone had made a move on her, no matter whose fault it was, people would say she was not decent.

  "You're a good-for-nothing scoundrel, and my sister is also someone you can mess with? I've heard that there have been many missing children lately, didn't you steal them away? You really are a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a heart blacker than coal! Ye Baiji's mouth was still quite sharp, having watched the village's fierce women scold each other before, and she had learned to be somewhat like them. She herself spoke logically, and with just a few sentences, she steered the conversation in another direction."

  Onlookers only think that this matter is so dramatic, at first it was just looking for someone, how did it suddenly become physical violence, and then again it became human trafficking? It's really a great show!

  "You fart! Do I, your grandfather, look like a human trafficker? You dare to ask me for money? Without even looking at yourself, you still dare to say that I touched you?" The man scolded angrily.

  Ye Baiji's face turned red, she had never heard such a profane and unscrupulous insult. Zhen'er, on the other hand, was not afraid, Ye Baiji could stand up for her, why couldn't she stand up for her?

  "You're a bad man, you bully us!" Zhen'er cried, pointing at the man. "He said he's going to sell us and not let us find my dad and uncle."

  If what Ye Bai Zhi said wasn't that believable, then Zhen Er's words were more credible. They are all big girls now, and Ye Bai Zhi is still a 14 or 15 year old little girl who looks pretty good, selling them to those dirty places would still be worth a lot of money.

  Although the dock is a bit mixed, there are also many kind-hearted people who just make a living, and their families have such big girls. When Zhen'er said so, she was inclined to believe them. After all, no girl of this age would splash dirty water on herself to slander someone who looks poor and white.

  "This old man, you also want to do a good deed, it's just that these young girls haven't seen the world and don't understand your kindness. If you're not going to tell them the news about the person they're looking for, then at least consider it a good deed done thoroughly. Once they find the person, they'll definitely appreciate this kind intention too." People knew that the one in the wrong was that person, but they didn't want to stir up trouble, so they just saved face and advised him thusly.

  "Yeah, tell them and let them find out for themselves. Let them know that the people at our dock are also kind-hearted." Someone echoed in agreement.

  That man secretly resented, but at this moment he didn't dare to forcibly drag away these little girls again. Having such a pretext, he could only say: "I just saw Cao Wei moving goods to the warehouse, and now I don't know where he went." After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeve and walked away in anger.

  People watched him leave and also dispersed, and some kind-hearted ones said to Zhen'er and the others: "Little girls, there are too many people here, you be careful yourselves, don't run into that small alley." After saying this, they seemed to be hiding from something, and quietly walked away.

  This is a kind-hearted person, warning them that something fishy is going on at the dock.

  After that person just now, Zhen Er and Ye Baiji were both frightened, and they didn't dare to linger here. They thought of going to find Ye Luyuan, no matter whether they found Cao Wei or not, the young girls were not safe here.

  Who would have thought that with a turn of her body, Zhen'er saw the person pretending to sleep in the corner and was stunned, instantly a surge of evil fire rose up!

  Ye Baiji also found it, pointing at the corner of the wall, trembling with fear, "That, that's not Cao Wei, is it?"

  Zhen'er looked up at Ye Baiji with a glance, sighed, they were so openly looking for him, but he was good, knowing that they were looking for him, and still watching others bully them like watching a play, without making a sound. She didn't believe that he hadn't heard her loudly saying she wanted to find Cao Wei just now!

  "Is that Cao Wei? We came with Aunt Ye to find you." Zhen'er said, seeing him unmoved, without even opening his eyes, she continued: "After you left, Aunt Ye was very worried, and searched all the nearby villages but couldn't find you. These days she has been crying constantly, let's go find them?"

  When Cao Ye heard the words, she wept and washed her face. Cao Wei's eyelids jumped a few times, but he still didn't open his eyes. It wasn't until Zhen'er finished speaking that he looked at them and said, "Let her go back, I'll earn some money and then go see her." After finishing speaking, he turned over and continued to pretend to sleep.

  Ye Baiji was furious that Cao Wei had just seen and not saved, the fire had just started, and she was stopped by Zhen'er. This Cao Wei has a bad temper, if they scold him away again, it would be a sin.

  "Yeh's aunt is just ahead, you go tell her yourself, if you don't go she won't leave." Zhen'er said, not caring about Cao Wei's reaction, and pulled Yeh Baiji to leave.

  Cao Wei's body stiffened as he lay there, he lifted his head to look at Zhen Er and Ye Bai Ju who were already far away, let out a sigh, got up and followed them.

  Ah ha, want pink ah, want pink~~~(。)
