Chapter 89
The warm and dry palm was pressed against the face, and the deer shuddered, and subconsciously turned its head to avoid it.
Duan Congzhen's eyes were slightly cold, watching him dodge, but he didn't say anything.
Ji Lu held Tongtong in his arms, as if he was very wary of his approach, walked a little to the side, put Tongtong on the bench and stood there, took out his mobile phone to report to her parents that she was safe, and lowered his head to check her injuries.
Stretching out her hand to lightly touch it, her fingertips touched a sticky patch, and the deer froze for a moment. The little girl raised her hand, gently held his wrist, and said softly, "The medicine has been applied."
"...Who wiped it for you?" Ji Lu asked calmly.
"KFC's clerk sister." Tongtong said.
Duan Congzhen hit the group's car, calmly opened the door and took Tongtong out and stuffed him into his own car. Several men cursed and got out of the deformed car, cursing and trying to trouble him.
Duan Congzhen threw the one that rushed up first into the river, pulled out his toy gun from his waist, and slammed it on the man's cheekbones. When a group of people saw the gun, they suppressed their anger and fled.
Duan Congzhen reported to the police and the traffic police, and made a simple record, telling the police to quickly take the group of traffickers away.
When he came out of the police station, Duan Congzhen looked down at the little girl standing beside him.
The little girl was clutching the strap of her backpack, as if she hadn't calmed down yet, she pursed her lips, her eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears, there were tear stains on her cheeks, and there were bruises on her forehead.
"Okay," Duan Congzhen clicked his tongue, and pushed the little girl's back, "Cry if you want."
As soon as the words fell, the corners of Tongtong's lips were puckered, and the tears burst out suddenly, and she couldn't stop them.
Duan Congzhen didn't comfort her or stop her, he just stood by the side of the road, leaning against the street lamp to smoke a cigarette, watching the child howling and crying in his spare time.
After crying for half an hour, Tongtong finally stopped in shock, wiped away her tears, and her stomach growled.
Duan Congzhen threw away the cigarette, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you done crying?"
While wiping tears, Tong Tong pouted and nodded.
"Eat?" Duan Congzhen asked.
Tongtong hesitated a little, but nodded after a while.
Duan Congzhen took her to KFC, ordered two children's set meals, and asked the clerk to give her medicine.
The clerk looked at him suspiciously, hesitating very much, until Duan Congzhen raised his eyes and glanced over, and said lightly, "If I were a human trafficker, I wouldn't come to your store."
The lady clerk pulled Tong Tong aside and asked carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she took out the medicine kit from under the table to treat her bruises.
After buying the meal, the clerk gave each package a toy, which was a small train. Tongtong seemed to like it very much, and held it in his hand to play with it repeatedly.
Duan Congzhen looked down, reached out, grabbed a handful of small trains from the box, pulled off Tongtong's hat from the back of his neck, and stuffed it in.
The clerk froze, smiled awkwardly, and reminded in a warm voice, "Sir, you can only take one toy for a set meal, otherwise the other children will have no toys."
"Oh." Duan Congzhen swept her lightly, took out a few banknotes and put them on the table, and said with a smile, "I bought twenty copies, can I get twenty small toys?"
The clerk's smile froze slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.
Duan Congzhen counted the ones in Tongtong's hat, and there were still a few missing. He reached out and took a few more in the box to make up for it. Holding his set meal, he nodded politely, "Donate the rest of the meal."
Yu Bi led the little girl away from the fast food restaurant.
Sitting on a bench by the river, two people, two children's set menus, Duan Congzhen didn't choose anything, looked at the river in front of him, and ate in silence.
Tongtong couldn't tear off the sauce, and the lunch box on her lap almost turned over. Duan Congzhen glanced at it, reached out to take it, tore it open, poured it on her, and stuffed it into her hand.
"Thank you." Tong Tong whispered.
Duan Congzhen didn't respond.
After eating a piece of chicken nuggets, Tongtong quietly raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Are you a human trafficker too?"
Duan Congzhen's hand holding the food paused, turned his head to look at her, and cursed, "Are you sick?"
Tongtong fell silent.After a while, she asked again, "Then are you a bad person?"
"Almost." Duan Congzhen threw down the lunch box, wiped his hands with paper, "I'm a bad guy 80% of the time."
Tongtong took a bite of the shrimp burger and asked vaguely, "What about the rest?"
Duan Congzhen turned his head and stared at her coldly, "Worse people."
Tongtong shuddered and sniffed.
After taking two bites of food, Tongtong muttered to himself, "Brother Lu is a good person..."
Duan Congzhen sneered, his eyes fell on the river, "Yes."
"He is very smart, knows a lot, and often teaches me how to grow flowers..." Tongtong counted the advantages of Jilu, and after a while, he looked down at the food in his hand, scratched the food box with his fingertips, and spoke softly Said, "...please don't bully him."
"I don't bully him," Duan Congzhen smiled ambiguously without looking back, put away the food box on his lap, threw it into the trash can, and sneered, "I'll kill him."
Tongtong was so frightened that her hands shook, and the little train in her palm rolled to the ground, but she didn't dare to pick it up, and she was too frightened to make a sound.
It took a long time before Duan Congzhen laughed out loud.
"Scared you." Duan Congzhen looked at the sparkling river, his eyes were deep, his fingertips unconsciously tapped on the bench, and his voice was calm, "It's too late for me to love him."
As soon as the words were finished, the phone rang. Duan Congzhen glanced at it, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, with a hint of darkness.
"Bambi," he asked, "do you love her more or me?"
Jilu stood where he was, looking at him vigilantly, as if he didn't quite believe his words.
Tongtong ticked his fingers quietly, and pointed to the hat behind her.The deer opened it and saw that it was full of toy trains.
He glanced at the person next to him hesitantly, and Jilu showed no expression, and said in a low voice, "How much did you spend? I will pay you back."
"730 eight." Duan Congzhen didn't refuse, and leisurely bit his cigarette.
"Your car..." Ji Lu hesitated.
"Insured."
"Yeah." Ji Lu nodded, looked away, remembered something, frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Are you injured? I'll pay you for the medical expenses too."
"No." Duan Congzhen said.
"it is good."
Even if the deer took out the money from his pocket, he didn't count it, and handed it to him from a distance, and he didn't approach him, as if he didn't want to approach him at all.
Duan Congzhen took the banknotes, also without counting them, and stuffed them into his pockets.
Ji Lu leaned over and touched Tongtong's head, and it happened that a car drove up to the gate of the park, and it was Tongtong's parents.
"Let's go." Ji Lu glanced at Duan Congzhen and said in a low voice.
Duan Congzhen didn't answer, and smoked in silence.
Holding the toys in his arms, Tongtong stared at him hesitantly, very tangled.
She still remembered that this man dropped the red bean sprouts that she carefully cultivated. She knew that this man was not a good person, and made Brother Ji Lu so sad.
But today he saved himself again, bought food for himself, and bought a lot of toys...
Tong Tong felt extremely sad, it was the first time she felt that being an adult was really complicated.
After hesitating for a long time, she still took two steps forward, bowed slightly with the toy in her arms, and said softly, "Thank you."
Duan Congzhen lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently, without saying a word, he suddenly raised his hand and flicked the burning cigarette butt towards the little girl's face.
Tongtong screamed and dodged, the flame from the cigarette butt brushed her hair, curled a few hairs at the sideburns, and bounced on the ground.
"What are you doing!" Ji Lu lowered his voice and screamed, not knowing why he was going crazy again.
Duan Congzhen didn't look at him, he stared at the little girl with deep black eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was harsh and cruel.
"Don't forgive me, kid." He said lightly, with a faint smile on his lips, "Never."
Duan Congzhen tilted his head slightly, with a flat expression and a cold voice, "You hate me now, so you won't be deceived by others in the future."
