Chapter 238 Not as good as a beast
The call was getting fainter and fainter...
Without thinking, he followed the sound to a house and kicked the door open.
The people inside were startled by the banging sound, and they peered out, cursing under their breath.
"Who is it? Are you crazy? Rushing my mood first thing in the morning."
He Jing entered the room and saw a short, sallow-faced, thin man walking towards him, cursing as he pulled up his pants.
Without even thinking, I know what he's doing.
Suddenly, a little beggar ran out from inside and quickly hid behind He Jing.
He Jing recognized the little beggar.
When He Wuyang was kidnapped by human traffickers, several beggars helped him a lot. I heard that Xiao Xiao had treated his dislocated shoulder earlier.
This little beggar seems to be called Erdan, and he looks to be no more than four or five years old.
He Jing could clearly feel that the person hiding behind him was tightly clutching his clothes, trembling, both afraid and terrified.
Could it be that the man in front of me just now wanted to...?
He Jing rarely gets angry, but at this moment his face darkened completely, his expression tense, and his eyes were like ice.
What a beast!
When the short man saw that the person who kicked down his door was actually a tall man, his arrogance immediately subsided by seven-tenths.
Fearing exposure, he pointed at the little beggar behind He Jing and began to curse angrily.
"You little brat with no parents! You came to my house to steal things before dawn, let's see how I teach you a lesson today!"
Erdan's voice was barely audible, but he still bravely defended himself: "Big brother, he's lying. I didn't steal his things."
The short man sneered: "At such a young age, you're already learning bad habits, not only stealing but also lying and deceiving people."
Erdan burst into tears, his eyes red as he shouted, "You're the one lying! I didn't steal anything from your house!"
He didn't know what to do, so he could only muster up his courage to defend himself.
Although he was young, he knew how to read people's expressions.
People sometimes judge a person's character based on their appearance.
A dirty beggar is obviously more likely to be suspected than a clean-dressed person.
In their eyes, beggars were like rats in a sewer, reeking of stench and committing all sorts of evil deeds.
Erdan felt a little uneasy. He looked up at the tall figure in front of him and thought to himself:
Will he believe in himself?
Will he be different from others?
The short man didn't want to waste any more words with the little beggar, so he looked at the man with cold eyes.
"I'm going to teach him a lesson today. You better mind your own business and get out of here and leave this kid here. I won't hold you accountable for kicking down my front door!"
When the little beggar heard that the short man wanted to force him to stay, he was so frightened that he clung tightly to He Jing's hand.
"Big brother, save me! He'll do weird things to me, waaaaah—"
He Jing bent down, picked the man up with one arm, and gently patted his back to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I'm here, he can't hurt you."
"What are you doing? Put him down right now! You think you can just run away after stealing my things? Not so easy!" The short man raised his head and glared at He Jing with a defiant look.
He Jing took a few steps forward, his tall figure casting a shadow, his dark eyes flashing with a dangerous aura.
The short man took a few steps back, swallowed hard, and said in a bluffing manner:
"You...you...who are you? Get out of my house right now, or I'll deal with you too!"
"Did he bully you?" He Jing asked the little beggar softly.
The little beggar nodded.
The short man realized the danger was approaching and tried to escape.
He Jing stretched out his large hand and gripped the man's arm tightly, rendering him unable to move.
The next second, he bent his knee and slammed it hard into the short man's most vulnerable spot.
A pig-like scream echoed in the courtyard. As soon as He Jing let go, the man curled up on the ground, wailing incessantly.
Then he found a rope and tied the short man securely to the pillar.
He Jing took the little beggar back to Shuiyun Pavilion and then went to the yamen to find Zhou Quan.
......
After school, He Wuyang indeed brought her little beggar friend.
"Come on! My sister-in-law is waiting for you at home. Don't be afraid, she's a very nice person." He Wuyang stood at the door, holding the little beggar's hand, wanting to lead her inside.
However, the beggar looked wary, backed away, shook his head desperately, and refused to go inside.
She is afraid!
Last time, an older man offered to take me out for a nice meal. But after he took me home, he started taking off his clothes...
The little beggar suddenly seemed frightened, screaming and trying to break free from He Wuyang's grasp.
Ye Xiaoxiao happened to come out and saw this scene. She was holding the pastries that Mother He had made, and she comforted her:
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. Are you hungry? Have some snacks."
Seeing that she looked wary, Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take her pulse discreetly.
"Come here, stand in the middle of the road and be careful someone doesn't bump into you."
Ye Xiaoxiao took the little beggar's hand, but to her surprise, her expression changed drastically the moment she touched the boy's thin wrist.
The pulse is smooth and even, like pearls rolling on a plate!
It's definitely a pregnancy test!
However, the beggar in front of me looks no more than ten years old!
Who would do such a thing to a child? It's absolutely outrageous!! This kind of person should go to the deepest hell!
The beggar, who was eating pastries, suddenly saw something, broke free from Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and ran away.
Ye Xiaoxiao stared at the small figure, a pang of heartache flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by anger.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
He Wuyang tilted his head up and saw the anger flaring in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Ye Xiaoxiao's expression returned to normal. There were some things that weren't suitable for a child to know: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things. Go inside and play."
Today at the clinic, she heard from a patient that a body had been pulled from the river yesterday.
She was a young girl, supposedly a beggar, who presumably drowned by accident.
Accidental drowning is a rare occurrence, but what's strange is that this beggar was four months pregnant.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't take their story too seriously, after all, Constable Zhou would eventually find out the truth and give everyone an explanation.
That little beggar from earlier is also pregnant...
Could this just be a coincidence?
No! That's absolutely impossible!
A great danger lurks in the town now. He targets beggars simply because they are orphans and destitute. What if he becomes bolder and extends his evil reach even further...?
Ye Xiaoxiao dared not think any further.
After thinking it over, she immediately went to the yamen and told Constable Zhou about it.
"You mean there's a pervert in town who preys on children?" Zhou Quan's expression turned grave.
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Dr. Xiao Xiao, to tell you the truth, your husband came to see me this morning about a little beggar. He also helped me catch someone who is now locked up in jail."
