There is hot water on the train, but at mealtimes, there are a lot of people waiting to get hot water.

Ruan Zhao waited in line for a long time with the only teacup he had before he could get a large cup of hot water.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the man who had bought tea eggs from her before getting on the train.

The man was also on this train and was currently queuing for hot water.

Feeling someone looking at him, he turned around and met Ruan Zhao's gaze.

To be honest, the man didn't have a good impression of Ruan Zhao, but he still nodded politely to him.

Ruan Zhao just kept staring at his face without responding. The man looked away awkwardly, complaining to himself that Ruan Zhao was too rude, and then ignored him.

But Ruan Zhao frowned, the man's palace of children became obviously darker.

Thinking of the deathly look he saw from his daughter before getting on the train, Ruan Zhao had a guess in his mind.

It seems that something must have happened to her daughter.

However, judging from his facial features, he is not in danger of death now. It should be that something just happened.

Thinking of the little girl who was about the same age as Qin Ze and Qin Mu, Ruan Zhao walked straight to the man.

"Comrade, where is your daughter?"

She suddenly spoke, which made the man stunned for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, the man was a little confused. "Sister, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that the darkness in the man's uterus was getting deeper and deeper, Ruan Zhao didn't bother to explain and went straight to the point.

"I learned some fortune-telling skills back home. Judging from your face, your daughter must have been in trouble. I suggest you go look for her first."

The man was obviously startled after hearing this. He looked around and saw that no one noticed them, so he lowered his voice and said unhappily.

"Comrade, do you know that you are promoting feudal superstition? If others hear you, they will definitely arrest you and criticize you.

I still need to get some hot water, please leave now!"

It was obvious that the man didn't believe Ruan Zhao's words at all.

Ruan Zhao felt a little helpless, but what the man said was right. The country was now vigorously cracking down on feudal superstitions. If her words were to get out, she might really be arrested.

But thinking that the little girl named Xiaoni was going to die, Ruan Zhao decided to help again.

She stretched her index and middle fingers into her sleeves, and a small yellow paper figure appeared in her hand. While the man was not paying attention, Ruan Zhao flicked the small paper figure and slapped it on his shoulder through the air.

The man who was about to get hot water was suddenly startled and felt something entering his body.

Ruan Zhao then moved closer to the man and said, "Don't get any more hot water. Go back to find your daughter."

The man felt that she was a little baffling. Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, his body turned uncontrollably and walked towards the next carriage.

After realizing that his body was out of his control, the man's pupils widened suddenly and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

The man bought a ticket for the fourteenth carriage. He was controlled by the paper man to return to his seat. After discovering that his daughter was missing, he instantly forgot the fear of having his body controlled.

"Xiao Ni! Xiao Ni!"

Thinking of what Ruan Zhao had just said about his daughter being in trouble, the man felt a chill on his back and became even more anxious.

"Comrade, have you seen my daughter?"

Everyone in the carriage shook their heads. Everyone was eating at the moment, and those who hadn't eaten went to get hot water.

An older woman sitting across from the man said, "Didn't your daughter come looking for you? I saw her following you after you left."

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, an old man followed behind her and responded.

"Yes, you didn't walk far just now when your daughter followed you out. Go and see if the child has gone to another carriage."

When the man heard this, he immediately looked for hot water.

But he searched all the way and couldn't find Xiao Ni, so he had to ask the conductor for help.

"My daughter's name is Xiaoni. She's seven years old, about this tall, and she's wearing a floral dress."

The man described Xiao Ni's appearance to the train attendants, and they began to help look for her.

Ruan Zhao had returned to her seat. The little paper man had just passed the man's message to Ruan Zhao. She was relieved when she learned that the man had asked the conductor for help.

The train is on the move, and even if human traffickers have abducted the girl, she can't get off the train now.

As long as we check each carriage one by one, we should be able to find it quickly.

Thinking of the human traffickers, Ruan Zhao subconsciously looked up at the position in front of him.

As a result, I saw that there were two empty seats over there, and the loud-voiced woman and the man named Da Niu were nowhere to be found.

"Mom, the cakes you made are so delicious. My brother and I are full. Please eat quickly."

Qin Mu pushed the hand-pulled pancake towards Ruan Zhao, smiling with his eyes curved.

Qin Ze was also very considerate and peeled the remaining tea egg and handed it to Ruan Zhao.

"Mom, eat eggs."

Ruan Zhao came to his senses, poured the hot water into two bowls, and pushed them in front of his two sons.

"Okay, drink some water first, and I'll eat right away."

The scene of interaction between the mother and her two children made the woman opposite her feel a little dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Alas! Although they are poor, the food they cook is delicious, and their children are so sensible and filial, much better than her.

Seeing that the woman was staring at him, Ruan Zhao looked up and made eye contact with her.

The woman smiled awkwardly, then quickly looked away.

Ruan Zhao felt a little puzzled, so he ignored everything else and stuffed the tea egg into his mouth and started eating.

But before she finished her meal, a loud, rough voice rang out above her head.

"Comrades, could you please help me? My child is asleep, and there are so many grown men over there that are too noisy. Can I switch seats with you?"

Ruan Zhao looked up and saw the loud-mouthed woman who had committed murder suddenly appear beside him.

The young man named Da Niu was standing behind her with his luggage.

The woman was holding a child in her arms, and the child seemed to be asleep.

The woman was talking to the couple sitting opposite her. The couple considered themselves respectable people and did not feel comfortable refusing her directly.

The two glanced over there and saw that there were indeed several men gathered together eating. Thinking that it was no big deal to just change seats, they kindly agreed.

"Okay, come and sit here, Auntie."

When the woman heard this, she quickly thanked them, "Oh, thank you so much, you are such kind people!"

As he spoke, he turned around and made a look at Daniu. "Look, these city people are respectable and kind-hearted..."

He kept praising them, and the couple felt embarrassed.

After the couple left with their luggage, Da Niu quickly stuffed the two large bags in his hands into their luggage.

Ruan Zhao glanced at the two big bags and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Qin Ze was still young after all, and he became nervous unconsciously when he saw the two of them up close.

He tugged at Ruan Zhao's sleeve, and Ruan Zhao smiled at him, his tone soothing. "Are you tired from sitting? The train should be arriving soon. Hang on a little longer."

Qin Ze received Ruan Zhao's gaze and nodded with relief. "Yeah."
