Chapter 138: Robbery
I walked and stopped all the way, and I was about to arrive in Xicheng. Taohua finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing a small forest, she looked at her two younger brothers and panting, and said, "Okay, let's go and sit there and drink some water to rest."
"Yeah." The two little guys nodded.
When he came to a tree, Taohua undressed the kettle he was carrying, opened it and handed it to Baichuan, and said, "Are you thirsty? Drink it quickly."
Baichuan was stunned.
"Sister San is really biased." Mingsheng pouted.
"Give it." Seeing this, Baichuan handed the kettle to Mingsheng.
"I'm talking about having fun, you can drink it." Seeing Baichuan handing over the water, Mingsheng felt embarrassed.
Taohua looked at the two little guys, and finally had a smile on her face. She rubbed Baichuan's head and said, "Don't let it go, I know you are all good kids, drink it quickly."
After resting, Taohua stood up and was about to put the kettle back on her back, but suddenly someone covered her mouth with something from behind. Taohua was confused, and the kettle in her hand fell off. Then she reacted and struggled hard, but she did not forget to wave her hand to let the two little guys run away quickly.
I felt my vision became blurry, and my mind was messy. Taohua only saw Mingsheng's frightened eyes, Baichuan's gloomy expression and the figure that rushed over.
This silly child had only this thought left in his mind, and Taohua fainted.
When she woke up again, Taohua felt a split headache, moaned, slowly opened her eyes, and the light and shadows around her were dark, and she could vaguely hear the depressed cry.
"Where is this?" Taohua sat up slightly, her mind was still drowsy, and she reached out and hit her head hard, and then she was a little clear-headed.
"Mingsheng, hundreds of rivers!" Taohua was clever and shouted anxiously.
With the dim light, it was vaguely visible that there were several children lying or sitting on the ground. Taohua endured her headache, stretched out her hands and groped slowly, and called the names of her two younger brothers softly. All kinds of unknown scenes flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but feel pain and anxious. After checking several children, she finally heard a "Sister."
Taohua crawled over as she looked for the sound, rubbed her red eyes, and opened her eyes wide enough to see clearly that it was Baichuan. She hurriedly searched for Mingsheng, but couldn't find it.
"Taohua, don't worry, we were caught by two masked men in black. I don't know the details very well, but I think Mingsheng should have been locked up in another room by them." Seeing Taohua anxious, Baichuan quickly explained the situation he noticed.
Being arrested? Yes, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on coming out, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. Now even Mingsheng has been lost. How can she face her parents in the future?
Taohua closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. Now is not the time to blame herself. You should first figure out the situation and then find a way to save yourself.
After thinking it through, Taohua then carefully observed the situation around her. They were now in a cramped room, with the windows blocked and they could not see the sky outside. There were seven or eight children in the room. In the hazy, Taohua could not see the men and women and age, but they should not be old.
Taohua knew that this must be the case of the missing child that caused panic during this period. But she didn't expect that she would become one of them, which also implicated Mingsheng and Baichuan, and she didn't know if she could go out. Thinking of this, Taohua felt a pain in her heart again.
Resting against the wall, covering her eyes with her hands, wiped away the tears in her eyes. After all, she was just an ordinary girl. It was fake to say that she was not afraid of it. Thinking of the cruelty of human traffickers in the news of her previous life, she couldn't help but feel a chill. She seemed to have really underestimated this era. She thought it was a very far away from her, but everything was just heard and could not be encountered. Unexpectedly, the possibility of one in ten thousand fell on her would become 100%.
You can't panic, you can't be anxious, you must be calm. Mingsheng is still waiting for him to rescue him, so he must not be distracted! After thinking quietly for a long time, Taohua regained her confidence. He felt that Baichuan was quietly holding his hand tightly. He thought he was afraid, so he pretended to be relaxed and knocked his head, saying, "How many times have you told you that you want to call me sister, and every time it is peach blossoms, no big or small."
"Um!"
"Uh, I knocked the wrong nose?"
"Um."
"Hey, it's dark and can't be seen." Taohua groped and tried to help him rub it. She tried too hard just now, no wonder she felt the touch was wrong.
"Hmm?" Taohua was embarrassed again, "My mouth?"
"Yeah." Baichuan felt his soft fingers stroked his lips, and with a burning warmth, it flowed into his heart bit by bit.
"Forget it, it's dark and you can't see anything. If it hurts, rub it first." Taohua stopped deflated.
After quieting down, listening to the humble crying around him, Peach Blossoms made Baichuan stay obediently, and then searched for the vague light to find the door, and listened to the door and stopped the movement outside.
It should be night at this moment, otherwise it would be impossible for the sky to be gone. From time to time, a whistling wind blew the woods. Peach blossoms pushed the door frame, and a sound of chains sounded. When they tried hard, there was a clanging sound. Even if Peach blossoms made such a loud noise, there was still no sound at the door, and no one was guarding them. It seemed that the people who arrested them were very relieved of the children.
Taohua returned to Baichuan and tried to ask the details of the children around them who were caught in first, but no one spoke.
Only a gust of wind blew the woods from outside...
Taohua gave up, forget it, maybe because she is new and can’t get out of the situation for the time being, so take it slowly.
Let Baichuan go to bed quickly, seize the time to nourish his energy, and if there is an unexpected situation, he will have the energy to deal with it. Taohua himself can't sleep. She was thinking about the intentions of these human traffickers.
Although this is ancient, the difference from modern times is nothing more than that you don’t have to worry about your organs being removed. And if human traffickers abduct children, don’t they look for young people? How come they are targeted by "older" like them who have already remembered things? And depending on the situation, at least there are no children in the room who are particularly young, otherwise they will not be so quiet at this moment, and they may be very noisy.
Then the possibility of these children in the future is to beg or work as hard laborers. Girls are likely to sell them to a remote village as daughters-in-law, brothel as prostitutes, or maids. In short, there will be no good results. Moreover, because they are old and difficult to control, they will definitely use some means whether they buy them or sell them. Just thinking about it, Taohua feels numb from the scalp. All the tortures and strange poisons I have seen on TV or on books, or heard of, were all in my mind, and the peach blossoms were cold all over.
