After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

On the other hand, Huo Yan and his colleagues were not idle either. They dug out the files of the past few years and found several cases that were hastily concluded.

Huo Yan asked Jin Yu to write down the addresses of those girls and find someone to follow up overnight.

When he was leaving, he met the maid who had just come out of the cell.

The maid named Xiaoduo walked with her head down, carrying a food box in her hand.

As soon as I walked out of the cell door, I almost bumped into a solid wall.

She looked up and was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back.

"Huo...Captain Huo."

Huo Yan crossed his arms and glanced at the maid who was a head shorter than him.

"Huh? Am I that scary?"

Xiao Duo shrank her neck and said, "No, no, it's not scary."

But her evasive eyes betrayed her.

How can you not be afraid? Look at how powerful and strong you are. You can probably knock her against the wall with just one punch.

You can't see the scar on your face, but others can.

It’s okay, just touch your face more often and feel your presence.

Huo Yan's face darkened even more. Without saying a word, he moved aside to make way. Xiao Duo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to escape.

But Huo Yan called her from behind.

"How is Su Ruanruan?"

Xiao Duo didn't expect that he called her to ask this. She looked left and right, but didn't look at Huo Yan.

"The female doctor came to see her, but Miss Su hasn't woken up yet."

"Has she changed her clothes?"

Xiao Duo: “…”

"Changed."

"Go find me the coat she took off. I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Duo: “…”

Hmm? What does he need this for? The clothes are smelly and torn in several places. She was going to burn them, but she was busy and didn't have time.

She originally wanted to ask Captain Huo why he wanted Miss Su's clothes.

But she didn't dare to ask.

Xiaoduo looked up at the sky and said, "Captain Huo, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon." After saying that, she ran away.

Su Runrun lived in a room in the backyard, and it was not appropriate for a foreigner like him to go there.

Niu Mang and Jin Yu followed after finishing their work.

Niu Mang glanced at the little maid who ran away.

"Hey, this girl talks with her nose in the air, she looks down on me. Every time she sees me, she keeps silent, and when I talk to her, she ignores me."

Jin Yu said nothing. That was looking down on people. The girl was just scared by her elder brother.

As for why I ignore you, I'm probably just not liking you.

Huo Yan touched his face and asked, "Is it really that scary?"

Niu Mang, "Why are you scared? A little injury is okay, that's what a man should do. Jin Yu, am I right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right. I will carve a word on your forehead tomorrow, okay?"

"Screw you!"

When Xiaoduo came over, she saw two tall men fighting.

Childish, especially the one named Niu Mang, who was always shouting "an an an an" over and over again, and her ears were callused from it.

"Here, Captain Huo, Miss Su's clothes."

In her hand, she was still holding a meat bun wrapped in oil paper, which she had just sneaked out to buy for the young lady.

She said that and turned away. She wanted to give it to the lady while it was hot, as it would not taste good if it got cold.

But the next moment, a playful cow rushed over and knocked her into the flowers nearby.

Not only did he fall flat on his face, but the two delicious meat buns in the oil paper package also rolled to the ground.

"Niu Mang."

Xiaoduo was afraid of Huo Yan, but not of him.

Niu Mang knew that he was in trouble again, so he quickly went over and helped the girl up.

He was so strong that his pulling caused her delicate arms to feel a bit painful.

"Hiss, let go."

"Oh." Niu Mang quickly let go of her arm.

Her arm was as thin as a stick, and he was afraid that she would break it.

Xiaoduo rubbed the arm that he had touched, and her face felt hot.

She grew up with the young lady and was her first-class maid. The servants in the mansion were also very respectful to her.

She has never had any physical contact with any other man.

But today, this reckless man took advantage of me for nothing.

"You reckless fellow, look at what you have done. My young lady is still hungry now."

Xiaoduo picked up the bun and with the help of the wind lantern under the corridor, she finally saw that the snow-white bun skin was covered with a lot of dirt and was no longer edible.

She was about to throw it to the black dog raised by the government office with disgust, but was stopped by Niu Mang.

"Don't give it to me. Don't waste it."

He took the bun from Xiaoduo's hand, patted the dirt off it, blew on it with his mouth, and then began to eat it with relish.

After taking a bite, he frowned, "Where did you buy this? This bun is not as delicious as the one in Guihua Lane."

Xiaoduo pursed her lips and said, "You ate this dirty bun anyway, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Niu Mang chuckled and said, "What's the big deal? Back then, we were..."

"My family was poor and we suffered a lot. When there was a flood and famine, I even ate leaves from the trees."

"Nothing is more important than being able to survive."

Niu Mang's eyes sparkled, and his words brought back her memories.

There was a drought in my hometown that year and the crops in the fields were completely destroyed.

There was no other choice, so in order to save her brother's life, her parents sold her to a pawnbroker.

She was lucky and was bought by the master and the mistress.

Even though she was young at that time, she still remembered the scene of selling children and wives and children being separated.

There was crying and it was heart-wrenching.

Thinking about it now, it still brings back her sadness. Perhaps because she was used to a good life, she even forgot that before her parents sold her, she was also hungry.

"Oh, why are you crying?"

Niu Mang was a little anxious. She had never seen a woman cry and didn't know how to comfort her.

He had never seen his daughter-in-law cry.

His wife is one year younger than him, a girl from the neighboring village. His family lives on the east side of the river, and hers on the west side.

He was a big and strong man, and very hardworking. He had seen him several times.

My parents liked her very much at that time, and said that girls from farming families were good at farm work, had a strong body and were good at giving birth.

He served in the army for a few years, and when he returned he found out that his parents had already arranged a marriage for him.

The girl had grown into an old maid by the time he came back.

Just two days after returning home, they got married in a daze.

Before leaving, she baked a lot of cakes for herself and made some underwear.

He rode away on his tall horse, and from a distance he could still see her standing at the entrance of the village, waving and smiling at him.

He had never seen her cry.

"Okay, okay. Don't cry. I'll take you to buy some meat buns right now."

He grabbed Xiaoduo's sleeve and walked out. "I often go to that store to buy buns. Their buns have thin skin and lots of meat. They are especially delicious."

Suddenly, he paused and looked at the sleeve he was holding.

His face changed and he suddenly let go of her.

He got used to hanging out with some rough guys every day and forgot the differences between men and women.

"I didn't pinch you, did I?"

Xiaoduo lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling, and whispered, "No."

Niu Mang, "Oh, that's good."

"It's getting dark. Follow me. I'll take you there and back quickly. If it's any later, his restaurant will be closed."

Having said that, he took a step with his long legs and walked out quickly.

Every time he walked a distance, he looked back.

The little girl followed closely.

We are almost there.

He pointed at the sign in front and said, "I'm telling you, even though this shop is small, the food is delicious. Look up at this sign and keep your eyes on it..."

But after the words were spoken, no one answered.
