Lezhou City, which had been lively for a long time, suddenly became more lively. The government officials came out in full force, and it didn't take long for people everywhere to see with their own eyes a few people who had been locked up, walking in front of them dejectedly, followed by some wailing.
, victims who are either numb or frightened and don’t know what’s going on.
"Shame! Scum! Inhumane!" Listening to the victims crying about how they were forcibly kidnapped, drugged to stun, or tricked into taking away, the onlookers became excited.
A scholar jumped out and gnashed his teeth, pointed at a man and shouted: "You are taking advantage of others' dangers, causing families to be separated and separated from each other, and the world is far away. Aren't you afraid that the way of heaven will be revealed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone threw a rotten vegetable leaf at Ren Yazi, and then a small stone...
There are also some people who are staring at the victims in the team.
"That young man looks very smart. My shop happens to be short of an apprentice!"
"That woman looks like a worker. There is also a servant in the backyard who does rough work."
Ren Yazi was soon taken away, and the victims were divided into those who wanted to go back to find relatives and those who were willing to stay. When the official asked the question, a large group of people gathered around to listen, and soon some people with shallow eye sockets secretly wiped their eyes.
Tears:
"My hungry parents are still living on a mouthful of porridge, how can I live alone!"
"My woman and daughter are still suffering. I'm going to find her and my daughter, so they don't get bullied."
"When he was abducted, my father was so sick that he could only breathe. I must go back! Apart from him, I am the only one left in the family. If my father is still here, I must fulfill my filial piety! If my father is no longer here, I will also
I need to get a coffin to send to his old man!"
The enthusiastic Lezhou people gave great support to the victims who returned home. Some people had already carried a full load of dry food, but there were still others stuffing food into their arms; some people got enough money to hire a big truck.
, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have that much money on him in a good year.
Many people arrived at the gate of the city. Someone in the group of victims took the lead in performing a grand ceremony, and the rest of the people immediately prostrated themselves. Several respected old men hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after several warm exhortations, the victims who were traveling together finally
With tears in her eyes and waving her hands, she embarked on a journey to find her relatives.
Those who chose to stay were mostly those who had long been separated from their relatives, or whose family members were no longer around. Seven or eight of them gathered together, and there were already people who couldn't wait to come up and ask questions.
And Xiao Jing was running with all his strength. Not counting the counties under it, there were several groups of people trafficked to Lezhou City alone. Who knows where Xiao Yuan was. Fortunately, he had eaten well some time ago, otherwise
He fainted within minutes.
But after running around, he never saw Xiao Yuan, so he gradually became anxious. Could it be that Xiao Yuan never came to Lezhou at all and was sold somewhere nearby?
There was a group of people standing on a street in the west of the city, including several children. An official was keeping order, and another official with a clerk shouted loudly: "Those who have adopted children should be registered in the register. Don't forget to do so."
Got it!"
A young figure was scurrying around. If he couldn't keep an eye on him, he would get on the chair and look around. When someone scolded him, he would stick out his tongue and jump down, then go behind and make a face at the adult.
"This child is really good." An aunt not far away was so happy that her eyes narrowed to slits: "Besides being lively and clever, he is quite handsome and has a tiger-like head. Oh my, he is really pleasing to the eye."
As soon as she finished speaking, she changed her face to a sad one, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands: "Poor my daughter-in-law, she has no character or appearance. She has not given birth to a child even in the five years since she came to my house.
A son and a half daughter, I’m worried, old lady!”
A kind-hearted person next to him said: "Mom, if you are interested in a child, you should take action as soon as possible. Well, Granny Zhao on the street is here too. Her daughter-in-law has not given birth for seven years..."
Before she finished speaking, the old woman, who had just woken up from a dream, rushed forward. Just when she was about to rush to the child, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ran away like crazy.
"Brother Xiao Jing!" The little boy didn't run very far before he fell down, but he immediately got up and continued running forward: "I'm here!"
The two voices shouted, attracting everyone's attention. The child was seen throwing himself into the arms of a thin man. He who had been naughty just now raised his voice and cried loudly, with tears and runny nose quickly.
It got the man's clothes wet.
"Okay, okay, now that you've found me, don't cry." Xiao Jing's nose was a little sore, but he still took a deep breath to suppress the sobs stuck in his throat.
"This Lezhou City is a prosperous place. If you are adopted, you will have no worries about food and clothing." He patted Xiaoyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How about you, do you want me to help you find a good home?"
?”
"No!" Dong Huaiyuan responded categorically: "I will follow brother Xiao Jing!"
"Why?" Although he was not surprised by this answer, Xiao Yuan's determination still surprised Xiao Jing.
Dong Huaiyuan blinked his eyes hard several times, apparently brainstorming. After a while, he raised his big head and said seriously: "Brother Xiao Jing has the ability! If you can find me, you can help me find my sister! And also
, I will definitely have food to eat if I follow my brother!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jing looked up at the sky and sighed. At his age, I was so innocent and ignorant of sorrow, right?
Well, the sky is so blue today.
At the east intersection, someone poked his head out of a passing large car and quickly lowered the curtain.
"Miss, there are too many people over there to see clearly. It must be family members recognizing each other, right?" Lian'er said with emotion: "In this short day, my maid has shed tears several times."
Xia Hanxue, who was sitting sipping tea, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it is also the credit of Mr. Xiao. Without his actions, I am afraid that the people in Lezhou City would still treat the victims as before."
She shook her head gently. If no one mentioned this matter and created such a big momentum, Uncle Du would probably turn a blind eye, right?
Lian'er snorted in displeasure: "Miss, that Mr. Xiao is too hateful. Even if he does good things, he is not afraid that if something happens, the lady will be implicated. We provide the paper and pen."
"Such things as saving people from fire and water must be done no matter what. If something happens, Uncle Du will never embarrass me." Xia Hanxue said slowly: "Besides, although I don't know why, I always
I think he is at least 80% sure. If you are afraid of being implicated, wouldn't it be better to cut off the writing paper when he said goodbye?"
As she said that, she picked up the article left by Xiao Jing and read it casually. Did he give the manuscript to others just because he respected the paper? Or was this thin-skinned person really...
Don’t know how to ask for help?
Xiao Jing found Xiao Yuan, and Miss Xia also embarked on her way home.
The topic of disaster relief in Lezhou City lasted for nearly a month before it subsided. As soon as the city gate opened that morning, four people in a hurry walked out with their heads lowered.
"Is there anyone who is in a hurry to go hunting these days? Just don't run into big insects." The officer guarding the gate yawned and cursed when he saw the four people abandoning the main road and heading straight for the rugged mountain road.
Those people walked quickly, and after only two hours they entered the uninhabited mountains. The man in green clothes in the lead shouted, and the team stopped. Several people took out dry food to eat, and occasionally raised water
Take a sip.
"We managed to escape, but we suffered a lot from Xiao Liuzi. He only entered the industry this year." A person with a look of unbearable expression lamented: "It's three thousand miles away, and I'm afraid...
…Why."
"Why are you acting like a bitch? If he doesn't go, why should we go?" A tall and thick-set man glared at him: "If you have such thoughts, why don't you think about it first? If we spoil Mr. Wang's errand, how will we do it when we get back?"
Bar!"
"You two are the only ones talking, right?" The man in green said coldly: "You will have your own explanation for this kind of thing when you go back, do you need to worry about it?"
The man in green was the leader of the group. As soon as he opened his mouth, the two people immediately shut their mouths. Everyone was eating by themselves, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Suddenly, a man who was sitting and eating jumped up from the stone. He choked on his mouthful of dry food and wanted to shout something, but he just let out an unclear "um" and an arrow pierced him.
throat.
"Who!" Hearing the sound of the sky breaking, the man in green reacted very quickly and rolled on the spot, barely avoiding the arrows aimed at him; the two more screams coming from behind him were from his other side.
Two companions were also shot.
After he got up, he ducked behind a huge boulder. No more arrows were shot from the opposite side, and the surroundings became surprisingly quiet. Only the hissing sounds of a few people who had more air coming out and less air coming in could be heard.
The man in green took a deep breath and said loudly: "I don't know which way we are friends? I am passing by your place. No offense is intended. Please don't misunderstand me! There will be a day when we can meet again, so please..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the top of his head. He raised his head instinctively, only to see that a rock as big as a millstone had fallen from the cliff behind him. The rock became bigger and bigger in his field of vision.
,getting bigger……
