"After three days and two nights, I'll definitely be well-seasoned."
Seeing his little wife looking pitiful, her eyes slightly red, Sheng Ze Xi felt heartbroken.
Stroking her hair, he said softly, "Okay, the first thing I'll do when we get back is boil water for you to bathe, I'll make sure you're squeaky clean."
"Mm." Gu Jia Ning felt a little better after receiving Sheng Ze Xi's affirmative response.
Then Sheng Ze Xi took out a sheet, laid it on the upper bunk, helped Gu Jia Ning up there to sleep, and then took out a quilt and carefully covered her.
"Sleep, I'll be watching over you downstairs, I won't leave."
"Okay."
Gu Jia Ning was indeed sleepy; she woke up relatively early today, and the train's swaying made it easy to fall asleep.
At this moment, her eyelids drooped, and Gu Jia Ning fell asleep.
This time, Gu Jia Ning slept for a long time.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside the train, and the light inside the train was also dim.
"Awake?" The moment she moved, Sheng Ze Xi, who had been paying attention to her, noticed.
"Mm." Gu Jia Ning sat up and got down.
Gu Jia Ning used the dim light to barely check her watch and found it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
The train wasn't as quiet as it was during the day, but it was much quieter than it was during the day.
"Are you hungry? I just bought some buns, eat some."
"Mm."
After eating one bun, Gu Jia Ning couldn't eat anymore.
On the train with all sorts of mixed smells, Gu Jia Ning had no appetite, and she felt listless.
After a few more hours, the light in the carriage became even dimmer.
The daytime bustle was gone, but…
Gu Jia Ning listened to the intermittent snoring, feeling a little down; it was too noisy.
Gu Jia Ning's eyes were full of resentment.
Sheng Ze Xi inexplicably understood her meaning.
He thought, thankfully he didn't snore, otherwise, even if he got into bed, he would be kicked off.
…
Two days and one night passed like this on the train.
At this time, Gu Jia Ning looked like a radish that had lost its moisture, wrinkled, dry, and listless, without a bit of energy.
But thankfully, she didn't get carsick.
"I want to go to the toilet," Gu Jia Ning said.
After a day or two of fermentation, the toilet smelled even worse, but there was no way; Gu Jia Ning had held it as long as she could, and now she couldn't hold it anymore.
"Okay."
Going to the toilet on the train was like going through a thousand battles for Gu Jia Ning.
After a long time, Gu Jia Ning, who finally came out of the toilet, felt like she had lost half her life.
As they walked back, Gu Jia Ning, who was listless, was bumped into by an elderly couple holding a child.
"I'm sorry, young woman, I'm sorry." The old woman said sorry, but when she saw Gu Jia Ning's face, a flash of light appeared in her eyes.
The old man beside her was the same.
That kind of look made Gu Jia Ning feel uncomfortable, as if she were a commodity, being valued and sold.
At this time, Sheng Ze Xi stood up and checked her to see if she was okay.
"I'm fine," Gu Jia Ning said.
When the two elderly people saw Sheng Ze Xi in his military uniform, the light in their eyes immediately dimmed, they hurriedly lowered their heads and even avoided Sheng Ze Xi.
Ordinary people are naturally somewhat afraid of military personnel.
But Gu Jia Ning, with her past life's experience, still found their slight change in actions strange.
They avoided him as if they were afraid of Sheng Ze Xi.
They didn't know Sheng Ze Xi, and they didn't have any grudges against him, so why would they be afraid of him?
At this time, Gu Jia Ning's eyes fell on her husband's olive green uniform, and a light flashed in her mind. Yes, they might not be afraid of Sheng Ze Xi, but rather afraid of his military status.
What kind of people would be afraid of military personnel?
Of course, they would be criminals.
So what crime did they commit?
Almost instantly, Gu Jia Ning's gaze fell on the three or four-year-old girl sleeping in the old woman's arms.
Could they be human traffickers?
The little girl's clothes and exposed darker skin matched the elderly couple well, there was nothing out of place.
Let's try it.
So, as they were about to pass each other, Gu Jia Ning's gaze fell on the little girl.
In her beautiful almond eyes, the light of a super scanner flashed, quickly scanning the little girl.
【Ding, scan completed!】
【Gender: Female Age: 3 years 4 months Physical condition: Slight malnutrition, given sleeping drug over 20 minutes ago…】
There was more diagnostic information, but Gu Jia Ning didn't bother to read it.
Her eyes fell only on the four words "given sleeping drug," at this moment, she understood everything.
This elderly couple were human traffickers; what grandparents would give their granddaughter sleeping drugs?
"Xi Ge, those two are human traffickers, I smelled it, the little girl the old woman is holding has been drugged, she must have been abducted." After walking a short distance, Gu Jia Ning whispered to Sheng Ze Xi.
Sheng Ze Xi's expression immediately became serious, and he said, "Actually, I also thought they were a little suspicious."
Although the elderly couple behaved normally, as a soldier, his innate intuition told Sheng Ze Xi that they were suspicious.
He was planning to find a time to investigate, but unexpectedly, Ningning told him she suspected they were human traffickers.
"Xi Ge, what should we do? We need to catch the human traffickers and save the child." Perhaps because she had longed for a child in her previous life but never had one, Gu Jia Ning had a strong attachment to children, and she deeply hated those who abducted children.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she had a child who was abducted by human traffickers.
She would definitely collapse.
"Ningning, I'll accompany you back first, I'll handle this, trust me, I'll catch them."
Gu Jia Ning nodded, looking at Sheng Ze Xi's determined eyes.
Sheng Ze Xi escorted Gu Jia Ning to her seat, asked Shen Huaiyuan and Bai Juan to watch over her, and told her not to leave her seat no matter what happened before leaving.
After Sheng Ze Xi left, Gu Jia Ning became restless and worried about the situation.
But she also knew that the only thing she could do was listen to him, stay put, and not cause trouble.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jia Ning suddenly heard a commotion from the rear carriage, and then the entire carriage became even more lively.
Soon, she heard people talking about human traffickers.
Gu Jia Ning's heart skipped a beat, had they been caught?
Soon, she saw that the carriage she was in was in an uproar.
Two train staff members were catching the elderly couple, and another staff member was holding the child.
Sheng Ze Xi also came back.
As Sheng Ze Xi sat down and those people went away, Gu Jia Ning looked at him with bright eyes, "They're caught!"
"
