Chapter Eighteen: Take in
The market was tight and lively, with crowds of people, and the noise drowned out the sound of their pursuit behind them.
Li Yu only felt that Jiang Hao's back was soaked, and the heat poured from his back into his trembling body. An unprecedented sense of security rose up, and the fear of unfamiliar places in these days was gone.
Sweep it all away.
After finally squeezing into the market, Xiao Li was watching behind him. Luo Changping's people were chasing him closer and closer. They deliberately ran into the market to confuse their sight.
Taking advantage of the crowd, they walked through the crowd with their heads lowered and slipped out of the market.
Luo Changping's minions kept their eyes fixed on their tracks, but the crowd was so large that after a while they lost sight of anyone.
Luo Changping fastened his belt and rushed to his men while holding on to the painful area on his back.
I looked around, but there was no sign of them.
"Where are the people?"
"lost."
"Trash!" Luo Changping raised his hand and slapped his subordinate, who could only cover his face and look aggrieved.
After sneaking out of the wet market, Jiang Hao still carried Li Yu on his back and ran all the way back to the stall on Chajiao Street.
Xiao Li turned around and saw that they hadn't caught up with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Snake Ming and Chui Shuihui looked at them approaching, especially the girl on Jiang Hao's back. They rubbed their eyes repeatedly for fear of being dazzled.
Although Li Yu is the daughter of the village party secretary, she rarely goes to Xiaobei Village. Li Changsheng's family lives in the county town all year round, and Li Yu has only been seen a few times when Xiaoli went to the party secretary's house to deliver things.
So at this moment, they all thought that Sister Lin fell from the sky.
"What are you doing?" Snake Ming was a little confused. Didn't he go to get the raw materials? Why did he pick up a woman and come back?
"Fuck, forget it, grandson Luo Changping..."
"That's enough!" Jiang Hao stopped Xiao Li before he could finish his words. Jiang Hao muttered in his heart that it was related to a girl's reputation. The less people knew about these things, the better.
Jiang Hao panted and put down Li Yu. The two faced each other face to face for the first time. Jiang Hao saw that her clothes had been torn by Luo Changping just now. When others were not paying attention, Jiang Hao took off his thin cotton coat and put it on her.
superior.
Jiang Hao, who had never been in contact with a girl, thought about her softness and gentle breathing on his back, and blush spread from his face to his ears.
Li Yuming's brows were bright and he smelled Jiang Hao's faint masculine scent on his coat. He couldn't help feeling a little shy, so he bowed gently to thank Jiang Hao and Xiao Li.
Xiao Li collapsed on the chair. After he recovered, he stood in front of Li Yu and looked around. His eyes were so intense that Li Yu felt embarrassed.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here?" Xiao Li couldn't hold it in anymore. He was curious all the way and finally got the chance to ask.
Li Yu glanced at them several times in panic. He wanted to speak out but was afraid that his father would know. He was so anxious that he kept picking his fingers and lowered his brows without saying a word.
Jiang Hao glanced at Xiaoli. From the look on her face, it seemed that she had probably sneaked out of the house and wanted to rescue her for some reason.
Xiao Li saw this and didn't ask any more questions. Snake Ming and Chui Shuihui saw the abnormality in Jiang Hao's eyes and grinned secretly.
Li Yu gathered his coat and looked at Jiang Hao shyly, his eyes full of gratitude and smile.
"Otherwise, I'll accompany you to call the police."
Jiang Hao saw that her eye circles were red and swollen. A girl was almost defiled by a gangster. This was no small matter, and they would continue to harass her if they didn't succeed.
Li Yu shook her head desperately. As a woman from a traditional small county town, if the news of being harassed and almost tainted was spread, she would be criticized for the rest of her life, not to mention her father's old stubbornness. If it was known that she left home secretly
She ran away and followed them to catch a glimpse of the prosperity of the provincial capital. Then she was not allowed to have her skin and bones ripped apart.
Xiao Li saw that she was tight-lipped and could not tell anything. She was completely different from the lively and cheerful Li Yu whom he had seen at the village party secretary's house.
"Were you following us all the way?" Xiao Li recalled the scene before and after getting in the car that day and the scenes in these days when someone was vaguely following us.
Li Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt. He looked at them looking at him and couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Yes, I followed you all the way and stayed in the hotel next to the guest house."
It turned out that these were not his hallucinations, and Xiao Li's worried heart finally settled down, otherwise he would have been wondering whether he was delusional day and night.
Jiang Hao saw that the blood on her injured ankle had solidified, so he moved the stool and wiped the dust on the stool with his sleeves before letting Li Yu sit down.
She Zaiming watched the water boiling and then subconsciously shouted: "Where are the ingredients?"
Xiao Li patted his forehead and was only focused on saving people, without taking any ingredients. Now that he was done, he was almost ready to open a stall.
"I'll go." As soon as Jiang Hao took a step, he was stopped by Xiao Li.
"As long as those people recognize you, I'll go."
Jiang Hao still wanted to stop him, but Xiao Li had already picked up the steel basin and walked away.
The crowd on the street gradually grew, and Li Yu silently moved her chair to a corner to avoid being seen in such a miserable state.
Jiang Hao silently handed her a bowl of water, picked up the tablecloth and wiped the table and chairs.
In a corner not far away, Luo Changping and his minions stood together, looking at Jiang Hao and the pretty girl in the wonton stall, their teeth itched with hatred, and their fists tightened tighter and tighter.
"Boss, I was cut off by this grandson again."
"He will regret it. Jump on him! Let's go!"
Luo Changping watched people coming and going. If he hadn't been warned by the police station in the past two days not to cause trouble again, he would have gone up and kicked the kid to death.
Now I can only leave Cha Kiao Street angrily.
Xiao Li took a special detour to go to the cold storage to get ingredients. Fortunately, he didn't run into those gangsters along the way, and he finally felt relieved.
The fire was lit again in the stall, the water mist was steaming, and the aroma was lingering.
Yesterday, I saw the busy stall owners all day long. When I opened the door, I was so shocked that I looked at them as if they were looking at monsters.
"What are the backgrounds of these people? They can still continue to show off..."
"I don't know, maybe it has some background."
...
For a time, rumors spread in the small street.
Jiang Hao ignored the strange looks and questions and cooked bowls of steaming wonton dumplings for the guests.
As soon as I put down the bowl, I heard a hungry sound coming from the corner next to me.
He returned to the stove, made a bowl of wonton dumplings in three and five strokes, sprinkled a handful of green onions, and brought it to Li Yu.
Li Yuben lowered his head and suddenly saw the steaming food in front of him. He was a little dazed and raised his head to meet Jiang Hao's gaze.
There was a tenderness hidden in her eyes, and she heard the sound floating down above her head.
"Eat it while it's hot."
Li Yu took the bowl, picked up the spoon and ate it one bite at a time.
She was stopped by gangsters early in the morning. She didn't drink a drop of water and didn't eat a grain of rice. She was starving.
After a while, the bowl reached the bottom.
Jiang Hao came over and wanted to take away the bowl, but saw Li Yu holding the bowl in one hand as if he had something to say to him.
