Dongzhang was originally sleeping on a tree outside the farm. Who would have thought that he heard the little girl crying in the middle of the night.
Out of curiosity, I looked for the sound and climbed over the wall of the farm. Looking at the moonlight through the window, I saw a little girl curled up in the woodshed and crying softly.
After observing for a while, I found that although the little girl was young, she had injuries on her body and face, and this was how the previous scene occurred.
And Lu Yao suddenly heard voices other than his own in the middle of the night. He was obviously shocked for a moment, and then he raised his head and followed the sound and looked out the window. What he saw was a young man with a high ponytail squatting on the wall, facing him.
With his back to the moonlight, people couldn't see his face clearly. At this moment, he was the one making the sound.
Seeing that the little girl opposite didn't speak, Zhang Dong, who was squatting on the wall, asked softly: "Why are you crying? Were you sent to the woodshed by your parents as a punishment?"
Little Luyao still stared blankly at the stranger outside the window without saying anything. She thought she was dreaming for a while, but then Dong Zhang's words made her instantly realize that she was not dreaming.
"Need help?"
It was Dongzhang's words that made Xiao Luyao see infinite hope in an instant. She immediately stood up and climbed up the firewood pile to the window. She looked at the handsome young man opposite and said with a cry: "Brother,
help me."
"good."
Seeing the bright smile of the young man on the wall, Xiao Luyao's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Firstly, he couldn't believe it was true, and secondly, he was afraid that this was just a dream of his. He wanted to cry loudly but was afraid of breaking his heart.
This dream was shattered, and I could only carefully stare at the young man opposite without daring to move.
But in just a blink of an eye, the boy on the wall had disappeared. The panicked Lu Yao rummaged around, but saw nothing but darkness in the silent night. He squatted down in despair, and Lu Yao cried silently.
Squeak!
It was the sound of the door being opened. Xiao Luyao turned around in panic and saw a young man in gray clothes with a high ponytail standing quietly behind him. Although the night was very dark, even though the night was very cold, even though,
He couldn't see the person clearly, but Xiao Luyao knew that it was the young man on the wall just now, and he also knew that the young man was smiling and extending his hand to him.
"You're safe."
Surprised and ran down the pyre, Xiao Lu Yao panicked and stopped in front of the young man. He looked up at the young man in front of him and asked hesitantly: "Brother, can you go and save my sister?"
?”
"Can."
Dong Zhang responded with a smile.
"Ah?! Is it true? It's great, great."
Hearing Dongzhang's promise, Xiao Luyao was first overwhelmed by the surprise and laughed happily. Then he thought of Granny Meng before, and his expression suddenly dimmed again. He looked up at the young man uncertainly and asked hesitantly:
"Brother, would you lie to me?"
"Won't."
Looking at this suspicious girl at a young age, Dongzhang took out an oil paper bag from his arms and handed it to the little girl: "Here."
After Xiao Luyao took the oil paper bag hesitantly, he saw the young man walking to the firewood pile a little far away from him and sitting down, looking at him quietly.
"Aren't you hungry? I traveled a long way to buy it today."
After hearing the boy's words, Xiao Lu Yao opened the oil paper bag in his hand and saw two steaming meat buns. Hearing his stomach growling, Xiao Lu Yao's face turned red and he couldn't help but secretly swallowed.
He quietly glanced at the young man sitting opposite him, who was slightly hesitant.
Looking at this obviously nervous little girl, Dongzhang did not urge her. Instead, he took out the long sword from his waist and played with it by himself. His eyes were not staring at Lu Yao, but little Lu Yao was also observing.
After resting for a while, he couldn't bear the hunger anymore and opened his mouth to bite the meat bun in his hand.
After taking one bite, the splashed meat juice covered his little face, and Xiao Luyao's eyes were so happy that they narrowed their crescent moons. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of this girl who could feel happy even eating a meat bun, sitting in the distance with Dongzhang.
He also laughed silently.
Because she was so hungry, Xiao Luyao finished one bun in three swipes. While Dongzhang was waiting for her to finish the second one before asking questions, Xiao Luyao wrapped the remaining buns in oil paper again.
He stood up and was stunned for a moment. Dongzhang thought to himself that maybe he was born in poverty and was afraid of hunger.
Little Lu Yao wrapped the buns in oil paper and timidly walked up to Dongzhang and asked in a childish voice: "Brother, I want to leave this bun to my sister, is that okay?"
So that's it. Looking at the little girl with evasive eyes, Dongzhang said softly: "Of course, but are you full?"
Hearing Dongzhang's words, little Luyao looked happy. He shook his head first and then nodded. Dongzhang knew that she was not full, but he didn't want to ask too much. He just patted the firewood pile beside him and said softly:
"Sit here and tell me your story."
Half an hour later, Dongzhang quietly listened to what little Lu Yao said. Because she was too young and her speech logic was not very good, Dongzhang still roughly understood it.
Xiao Luyao also has an older sister. The two sisters are from the next village and were kidnapped here. All in all, this is a den for individual traffickers. Zhang Dong touched his non-existent beard and thought to himself: This is going to be difficult.
Buying and selling people was illegal in later generations, but it was legal in this era. There was still slavery here. I heard from the little girl that there were more than ten little girls of different sizes here, which was very difficult to deal with.
Seeing the brother next to him pondering in silence after listening to his words, Xiao Luyao couldn't help but become nervous, for fear that he would not help, for fear that he would not dare to help, for fear, but he did not dare to disturb Dongzhang, so he just
I can sit aside and worry.
In the end, I still couldn't think of any good ideas, so I rubbed my face, and Dongzhang's heart became fierce. It doesn't matter if it's legal or not, it's wrong to force a good girl into prostitution. Just do it once and for all, and that's the end of it.
Little Lu Yao, who was frightened by Dongzhang's sudden and stern eyes, became more and more uneasy. He noticed that the little girl beside him was not in the right mood. Dongzhang said softly: "Get some sleep first, and I will take you to rescue your sister tomorrow."
.”
Xiao Lu Yao, who was obviously frightened, shook his head and looked at Dongzhang with a firm gaze without saying anything. This made Dongzhang, who had never had a child in his two lives, unable to deal with it. His face sank awkwardly: "How could you not be there?"
Such a young child is still not sleeping at this time? Be obedient and go to bed quickly."
Xiao Lu Yao was so frightened by Dongzhang's fierceness that he just stared at himself with wet eyes and said nothing. His mouth was so pouted that it could hang a wine bottle. The helpless Dongzhang had no choice but to explain: "This guy who is just fooling around with his eyes is not good at all."
It’s so easy to save people. What if someone takes advantage of the chaos and kidnaps one or two children? If you want to save them, you have to save them all.”
After hearing this, little Luyao half-believed and lay down next to Dongzhang with his clothes on. Dongzhang put his coat on her body and stared at the door without knowing what he was thinking.
in the dark.
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"Are you really going to save my sister?"
"meeting."
"Didn't you lie to me?"
Dongzhang rolled his eyes wordlessly: "No."
"That's good."
"Go to bed quickly."
"Um."
His eyes secretly glanced at the young man sitting next to him. Xiao Luyao fell into a peaceful sleep, with a smile unknowingly on his lips.
