"No, I'm here to find a suitable house for a relative studying here." The man smiles at her, "thank you."
"You're welcome." Bai Xiao was relieved again. She felt that she was a little bit overgrown.
There are two universities nearby. She is not only a Chinese studying in them. Occasionally, she can see people with the same skin color in public classes.
The man went out with his coffee and watched him walk away with an umbrella.
Just about to sit down and rest, a tall man in a Hoodie came in. His clothes were soaked by the heavy rain outside.
Bai Xiao watched him go to the shelf, take out a hand inserted in his pocket, with his left hand, picked an umbrella.
Then he went back to the cashier at the door and handed the umbrella to Bai hour.
He was wearing a cap and a hat from a Hoodie. The shadow covered most of his face and he couldn't see clearly.
"It's just the last day of the umbrella sale." Bai Xiao took the umbrella and said with a smile, "Mr. lucky, I will continue to be lucky in the future."
She brushed the bar code and said, "twelve dollars and three."
As she spoke, she glanced at the man's right hand that had been in his pocket.
This 24-hour convenience store has been open here for six or seven years, and nothing has happened.
When she saw that the man's right hand was about to be taken out, she suddenly laughed at him and said, "I'll give you a cup of coffee. It's very cold."
With that, he turned to get him a paper cup and pour coffee.
She didn't dare to look back. She covered her stomach with one hand and forced herself to continue to smile at the man. "It seems that my husband is still young. Are you still studying? If I don't go back so late, my family must be worried. "
She didn't know why she said that. She just wanted to delay and didn't dare to look back.
When the coffee was ready, she asked, "would you like sugar and milk?"
The person behind didn't make a sound. She looked up and looked through the glass in front of her. She saw that he took a gun out of his pocket and aimed it at her head.
"Take all the money out of the cashier and give me your bag and mobile phone!" The man was behind her, whispering.
Bai Xiao loosened his coffee, raised his hand over his head and looked at him.
"Hurry up! If you're not pregnant, I'll kill you! " The man uses the local language and swears fast.
Bai Xiao can't even understand some of his words. He hesitates for a few seconds and reaches for the cashier.
"Give me your cell phone and bag first! Can't you hear me The man is more and more anxious, roared loudly to white hour, "don't want to play any tricks!"
Bai Xiao knew that he was afraid that she would call the police. He didn't say a word, so he threw his cell phone to him first.
"My key is in my bag. I can..." She asked softly as she handed the bag over.
"No nonsense!" The man roared again.
Life is the most important. It doesn't matter if you can't get home. Just find a locksmith.
Bai Xiao didn't dare to say anything more and threw the bag to the other party directly.
There was a faint sound of police siren outside. It should be that the night patrol police had been around.
The man became more and more anxious and reached for the money in the counter.
White hours immediately back a few steps, don't let the other party touch themselves.
Just then, she heard a loud crash coming from the door of the convenience store.
"Get down!" Two policemen rushed in quickly and pointed their guns at the man who was catching the money.
White hour in the heart surprised, immediately quickly squat down, with a chair block in front of him, tighten the counter depth.
Under the man's impatience, he fired as expected, with several bullets hitting the chair in front of Bai Xiao, and the cartridge case splashed.
If Bai Xiao squats one second late, he will be shot.
She heard the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, heard them run out, and did not dare to get up from the ground until the gunfire was far away.
The mobile phone is gone, the bag is gone, and the large bills in the cash register are gone.
She sat in a chair, looking at all the mess in front of her, and then she knew to be afraid.
She almost died.
This is the second time she's been so close to death.
She was alone in the chair for a while, shaking hands, picked up the side of the public phone, call the landlady.
"Then go home and close the shop. My husband and I will go to the police station tomorrow morning to deal with it! If you're scared, come to my house, OK? I'll have my husband pick you up at the store. "
Bai Xiao looks at the pouring rain outside and hears the crying voice of the child on the phone.
She hesitated for a few seconds and whispered back, "no, I can go home by myself."
Other people have other people's family affairs, and she has no relationship with the boss's family, which is good enough to go to her home for the night.Foreigners are generally straightforward, do not understand the hypocrisy of the routine, listen to white hours can not say, there is no reluctance.
Bai Xiao hour took an umbrella in the shop, closed the door and stood under the rainproof shed for a long time.
In the middle of the night, where can I find the locksmith?
She has no place to go.
She stood alone in the cold wind for a while, holding an umbrella, and walking in the direction of renting her own house. It's better to stand in the residential area than in the street.
Maybe with luck, the landlord is at home and can let her in.
Alone, she walked slowly back down the long street.
Occasionally, a car passed by, which made her even more afraid. She was afraid that some people with bad intentions would jump out of the car.
After a short walk, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. She found a bench on the street and sat down directly, no matter it was full of water.
At this time, she suddenly found that not far away from her, there was a car with lights on and stopped by the side of the road, and the warning lights on the roof of the car flashed.
No wonder there are no street lights on the side of the road, but she thinks the road is bright and the police are always following her.
She stared in that direction for a while. The police car turned the high beam to the low beam and approached her a little bit. The policeman in the driver's seat opened the window, poked his head out and yelled at her, "hurry back. I'll take you back. Don't be afraid."
She got up, bowed slightly to the police to thank them, and then continued on her way back.
This country, this city, let her feel warm for the first time.
When Bai Xiao turned around, the Oriental man in the co driver's seat of the police car whispered to his mobile phone, "it's OK, she's not hurt."
In his hand, he still holds the cup of coffee that Bai Xiao sold him.
"In addition, the little grandmother is pregnant and has a big stomach. She is seven or eight months pregnant at least."
Li nanshuo on the other end of the phone, was silent for a long time. After a long time, he whispered back, "I know."
Seven or eight months, then she must be with Lu Xiao.
