Chapter 390 The Sisters Meet Finally
After getting off the train, Shen Changan took them to find a guest house nearby, put down their luggage first, had a simple meal, and bought some steamed buns and sesame seed cakes as dry food on the way.
Before going out, they each changed into a set of local clothes, so that it would not be easy to attract attention.
They came to Zaoni Village without stopping for a moment. With the last investigation, they were already very familiar with Zaoni Village. This time they entered the village without fanfare, but quietly came in from the back mountain.
Jiang Li originally wanted to quietly go to Lai Erniang's house to settle down, but when he came to Lai Erniang's residence, he found that the house she used to live in had been razed to the ground.
Now that area has been planted with crops, and in just a few months, it is completely different from the place she remembered.
Zhang Zeping's house was not far away, Jiang Li stared at the dilapidated house, it was probably where his younger sister lived.
Jiang Li didn't want to wait for a moment, he just wanted to rush over to rescue him.
Shen Chang'an saw her restlessness, and put his arm around her shoulder to calm her down.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way."
Shen Changan led them to hide in a tree not far away, so that they could see the situation in Zhang Zeping's house and conceal their figure.
Shen Changan touched his bulging trouser pockets, inside were several packs of cigarettes and a lot of money and tickets.
He was waiting nearby, and soon saw Zhang Zeping, wrapped tightly, sneaking out of the house.
Shen Chang'an went around, walked quietly behind Zhang Zeping, patted his shoulder lightly, and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, brother! Long time no see!"
Zhang Zeping, who had a guilty conscience, was taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Shen Changan who eased his expression.
"Brother, it's you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been developing during this time?"
"I went back to meet my relatives, but I was scolded for not finding a suitable person for them. I couldn't get along in my hometown, so I came to the northeast again."
Shen Changan was wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes, he smiled helplessly, looking very simple and honest.
When Shen Changan was talking, he took out the cigarettes in front of the gate from his pocket, and warmly called Zhang Zeping to smoke a few.
Just as Zhang Zeping had a cigarette in his mouth, Shen Changan immediately enthusiastically took out a match and lit it for him.
It feels really comfortable to be flattered by others, Zhang Zeping kept swallowing, and his nervous mood was relieved a lot.
Thinking of what the man in front of him had entrusted him to do, Zhang Zeping saw no one around, so he stood on tiptoe and whispered in Shen Changan's ear.
"I found a little girl back, which is quite suitable for your requirements, but she is a bit stubborn, and she seems to have some problems with her head. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Oh? Where is the little girl now? Take me to see it."
Shen Changan showed curiosity in a timely manner, and kept urging him to take a look.
Shen Chang'an stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Zhang Zeping's hand as he spoke. Zhang Zeping is a face-saving person who likes this kind of flattery the most.
Shen Changan is so generous and polite, how can he resist?
Besides, Shen Changan had mentioned this matter to him before, and he had also told him his thoughts.
Now Shen Changan came to the door suddenly, although he felt something was wrong, he did not suspect him.
In his opinion, Shen Changan is a trustworthy old acquaintance, and his mouth is also a gatekeeper, he can tell him anything.
Zhang Zeping waved to Shen Chang'an, and led him towards the house.
When the two walked to the door, Zhang Zeping looked around vigilantly.
After making sure no one opened the door of the house, Shen Changan also took the opportunity to turn around and give Jiang Li a look.
Shen Changan followed Zhang Zeping into the room. It was a narrow and dim bungalow, and the light in the room was not transparent.
As soon as the two of them entered, Zhang Zeping's wife came out of the room holding a stick and cursing.
"This damn girl is not obedient at all, I have to break her legs today to see if she dares to run outside!"
As soon as the woman turned her head and saw that her man had brought a strange man in, she immediately raised her vigilance and scolded in a high-pitched voice.
"His grandma's, Zhang Zeping, who asked you to bring someone back?"
"What do you stupid woman know? This brother is not an outsider, we have known each other for a long time. He gave me the cigarette in front of the gate that I smoked last time."
Zhang Zeping proudly raised the cigarette in his hand as he spoke. The woman was still a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything for the sake of the cigarette.
Zhang Zeping pushed open the door of the utility room, and inside was a thin and thin girl whose hands and feet were tied behind her back and a rag was stuffed in her mouth.
The little girl's clothes were tattered, and there were a few red marks on her exposed arms.
Her long hair was disheveled and hung down on her forehead.
Her small face was pitch black, except for a pair of bright black eyes, she couldn't make out her appearance at all.
Based on this appearance alone, even though Shen Changan had seen Jiang Yun's portrait thousands of times, he still couldn't recognize her.
No wonder the two people sent to investigate couldn't confirm whether the little girl brought back by Zhang Zeping was really Jiang Yun?
The reason why they had to wait for Jiang Li to come over was because they didn't dare to scare the snake, for fear that something would happen to the wrong person with them, and Jiang Yun would never be found again.
"This face is really dirty, I can't see her face clearly, why don't you wash her face with a basin of water?"
While speaking, Shen Changan gave Zhang Zeping another bag in front of the gate, and he immediately did so with a smile on his face.
He fetched a basin of water and came over to wash the little girl's face, Shen Changan knelt down and brushed the hair from her forehead.
Who is this delicate little face that is very similar to Jiang Li, but Jiang Yun?
Even if he has never seen her portrait, based on his understanding of Jiang Li, he will definitely not admit his mistake.
"You said this little girl is stubborn and doesn't listen to you? You let me stay alone with her for 10 minutes, and I can make her obey."
Shen Changan spoke firmly, and gave Zhang Zeping another pack of cigarettes.
Zhang Zeping immediately agreed, and his wife was still cursing, so he also carried her out of the utility room.
The moment the door was closed, Shen Changan immediately took out a small knife from his pocket, untied the ropes on Jiang Yun's hands and feet, and took off the rag from her mouth. Just as Jiang Yun was about to open his mouth to yell, Shen Changan caught her in time. He said something in his ear.
"Your sister Jiang Li is waiting for you outside!"
Jiang Yun's eyes widened in surprise, she struggled to get up from the ground, because her hands and feet had been bound for a long time, she fell to the ground as soon as she stood up.
Seeing that she had trouble walking, Shen Changan grabbed her arm and came to the window.
Shen Changan pushed open the window forcefully, and the sunlight from outside poured in, making Jiang Yun unable to open his eyes.
The location of the window was just facing the big tree where Jiang Li was hiding.
Through the dense leaves, Jiang Li saw that thin and pale face, which was the face of his younger sister Jiang Yun in his memory.
Jiang Li jumped down from the tree excitedly, at this moment Jiang Yun who got used to the sunlight also opened his eyes and saw her again.
Her dry lips parted slightly, and she called out silently: "Sister..."
