Ji Yueqin limped behind the man, Xiaoyu looked at the man vigilantly, the man walked ahead confidently, and those who were dissatisfied were not afraid of them escaping. Because of the blood blisters on Ji Yueqin's feet, Ji Yueqin didn't even think about running away. Since he can't escape, he can only follow the man back. Xiaoyu's heart was full of anxiety. She didn't know why the man wanted to take them away, but she didn't look like a bad person, even though she had threatened her.
Walking in Jinshui City at night, I only heard the sound of a watch in the distance, "It's dry, be careful with candles." Apart from the three of them, the few pedestrians on the road just hurried to the direction of home. go. The wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground and made a soft sound. It was autumn.
Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu walked on this desolate road in coarse linen clothes, and shivered, and a layer of fine sweat formed on their foreheads because of the pain. But the man didn't look at Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu too much, and was still walking unhurriedly in front. Ji Yueqin gritted her teeth and followed the man, while Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin worriedly.
After a while, the man finally stopped at the door of a small house, pushed open the door, and walked straight in. Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu stopped at the door, as if hesitating whether to go in with the man. The man looked back and saw that they were not coming in, and said, "Come in quickly."
Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu looked at each other and decided to go in. The house is so small that no one is in it. The man walked into the back room and lit the candle, poured a cup of tea and drank it by himself. Then tell them to sit down and wait for him. The two of them sat down quietly, Xiaoyu poured two cups of tea, Ji Yueqin saw that the man had drank the tea from the pot before, and then he drank it with confidence.
The man left the back room, and Ji Yueqin began to look inside the room. The decoration of the house is very simple, there are no decorative objects such as vases, it seems to be just a temporary residence, perhaps this is the place where children and women are kidnapped and sold. Ji Yueqin became vigilant as soon as she thought about it, and whispered to Xiaoyu: "This place may be a place for abducting women and children, we have to be careful."
Xiaoyu listened and nodded. Ji Yueqin clenched Xiaoyu's hand, signaling Xiaoyu not to be afraid. Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin's firm eyes, as if full of power. After sitting for about a stick of incense, the man came back, and he threw the packaged roast chicken and steamed buns on the table.
When Xiaoyu and Ji Yueqin smelled the aroma of the roasted chicken, their stomachs began to growl again, but they didn't look at the roasted chicken wrapped in lotus leaves on the table. Seeing this, the man just smiled and said, "It's not poisonous. Eat it quickly. You guys are screaming when you're hungry."
Ji Yueqin just looked at the man, but Xiaoyu looked at the roast chicken in the lotus leaf. Seeing that Ji Yueqin was still indifferent, the man also admired Ji Yueqin's indomitable spirit of endurance, so he stepped forward and ate a piece of roast chicken for himself.
Xiaoyu's eyes looked at the roast chicken, and when he saw the man eating it, he looked at Ji Yueqin. Ji Yueqin was still uneasy when she saw the man eating the roast chicken, but looking at Xiaoyu's eager eyes, she touched her hungry belly and nodded. Xiaoyu happily pulled a piece of chicken leg to Ji Yueqin, Ji Yueqin felt warm in her heart, Xiaoyu was really kind to herself. Xiaoyu immediately grabbed a piece of roast chicken and ate it, and Ji Yueqin was the princess after all, so she slowly tore off the chicken and put it into her mouth.
When they were full, everyone began to be silent again. Seeing this awkward and somewhat cold atmosphere, Xiaoyu couldn't help but say, "Hey, human trafficker, where are you going to sell us?" At this moment, Xiaoyu looked a little broken.
When Ji Yueqin heard Xiaoyu's words, she thought about Xiaoyu's bad things, so what if this man killed someone. She lowered her face to look at Xiaoyu and shouted, "Xiaoyu!"
Xiaoyu quickly covered his mouth and looked at the man in panic. When the man heard that Xiaoyu said he was a human trafficker, he said angrily, "I'm not a human trafficker."
Xiaoyu looked at the man in surprise and said, "Then why are you arresting us! We are just two little girls, and we have no money!" Xiaoyu wondered if the man was interested in making money. After all, they took it when they were in the treasure house. Out of that superb hosta.
Ji Yueqin lowered her head and pondered, but did not stop Xiaoyu from questioning the man.
The man rolled his eyes and stared at Xiaoyu: "Then you are just two little girls. Could it be that the hairpins were really stolen from somewhere?" There seemed to be some imperceptible coldness in his tone.
Xiaoyu stared at the man with wide eyes, unable to speak for a while, he could only point at him and say, "You...you are talking nonsense!"
The man ignored Xiaoyu, but turned his head to look at Ji Yueqin, who was silent with his head down. Ji Yueqin felt the man's eyes staring at him, so she raised her head and said to him indifferently: "This son, my sister and I were in trouble, so we had to pawn our hairpins. "
The man didn't say anything, but quietly judged the truth of Ji Yueqin's words. After a while of silence, the man broke the situation and said, "So, where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?"
Ji Yueqin's heart sank suddenly, thinking that the man must have accidentally discovered the jade pendant on his waist, so the man will stare at the two of them. Ji Yueqin just stared at the man, with a little more vigilance in her heart: "Young master is joking, how can a little girl have a jade pendant." Ji Yueqin was afraid that the man would have murderous thoughts and said: "I only have Some of the jade hairpins have fallen into Jubaozhuang, if the young master wants money, he can go to Jubaozhuang to retrieve the jade hairpins."
The man looked at Ji Yueqin with cold eyes, pinched Ji Yueqin's neck with his hand, and reached for Ji Yueqin's waist with the other hand. Seeing this, Xiaoyu rushed over and bit the man's arm fiercely. The man's bitten arm had oozing blood, and he threw the little fish away in pain. Xiaoyu couldn't resist the man's strength, so he fell to the ground and shouted, "Let go of Sister Qin!"
The man sneered but ignored Xiaoyu, but Ji Yueqin's face turned red because he couldn't breathe the air. After the man got the jade pendant, he let go of Ji Yueqin. Ji Yueqin took a deep breath after being released, but coughed because of the shortness of breath. Xiaoyu got up from the ground and walked to Ji Yueqin's side, looking at the man with angry eyes.
Which jade pendant the man got, he gently stroked it, with a trace of respect and nostalgia in his eyes. But at this moment, there was no other sound in the room except Ji Yueqin's cough. The atmosphere was stalemate like this, and the man did not go to see Ji Yueqin.
Until Ji Yueqin stopped coughing, the man also recovered from his thoughts. He looked at Ji Yueqin coldly and asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant from?" His words revealed It was as if Ji Yueqin would be smashed to pieces as long as Ji Yueqin told a lie.
Ji Yueqin didn't answer the man's question, but said in a cold tone: "Your Excellency is just wanting money for this jade pendant. As long as you return the jade pendant to me, it will definitely be rewarded in the future." Ji Yue Qin didn't know the origin of this jade pendant, she just wanted to protect the last thing her mother left her.
Hearing Ji Yueqin's reply, the man laughed instead of being angry: "Gift? What kind of reward does the girl give me?" The man put the jade pendant on the table, and said to Ji Yueqin with bright eyes.
Ji Yueqin looked at the man's actions, but did not look at Yu Pei, and still stared at the man calmly. The man looked down at Ji Yueqin condescendingly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "The girl needs to go to pawn to make a living, so what will you give me in return?"
Seeing that the man put the jade pendant on the table, Xiaoyu made her think carefully. She found that the man's eyes were not on her at all, so she was ready to quickly get back the jade pendant and fight the man. In fact, what she didn't know was that the man was actually staring at Xiaoyu from the corner of his eye, wanting to see what they wanted to do next.
It was too late, but Xiaoyu had just stretched out his hand, when the man unknowingly squeezed the jade pendant in his hand again, and said with a sneer, "It's too much."
Xiaoyu was angry: "You..." When the man said this, he shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and return the jade pendant to Sister Qin!"
The man held the jade pendant, but did not look at Xiaoyu: "Tell the truth and I will return the jade pendant to her."
Ji Yueqin listened to the man's words, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She knew that she could not tell the truth to this man. If she told the man, I am afraid that the man would hand over herself. So she sneered at the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer at the man, "Do you want to hear the truth? Then the origin of this jade pendant is—" Ji Yueqin dragged a long tail, but did not continue.
The man's heart hangs like this, waiting for Ji Yueqin's next sentence. But after a while, he still didn't hear Ji Yueqin continue. The man's patience had been worn out by Ji Yueqin, so he urged her to say, "Come on, where did you get the jade pendant from!"
Ji Yueqin looked at him with a sneer and said, "No comment!"
The man's patience has been worn out by Ji Yueqin, and when Ji Yueqin is so provoked, he has already become murderous, so he puts his hand on Ji Yueqin's neck.
