Li Jinniu quickly glanced at the place where the two were hiding. The drug in the kitchen food had been planted before he came.
Yes, the medicine was given by Bai Banxia. She usually prepared some medicine for self-defense, but what big danger could there be in the countryside? It was not until today that this drug finally came in handy.
She smiled at Qi Zhen, raising her chin slightly, looking a little proud, as if to say: My medicine will work quickly, right?
The corners of his lips curled up and he nodded slightly at her.
"What's going on with you two?" Kong Chao heard the noise and came out.
At this moment, Qi Zhen rushed out to attack Kong Chao, while Bai Banxia rushed into the house.
Qi Zhen said that there are four more people in total, so there are three more that must be defeated as soon as possible.
"Who is it!" Kong Chao shouted, and he exchanged hands with Qi Zhen.
Li Jinniu rushed out as soon as he saw it. When the three people in the room saw a woman named Bai Banxia coming in, they attacked her somewhat lightly.
Bai Banxia pretended to be defeated, turned around and ran out, leading the three of them out.
Although there were four opponents, including Bai Banxia and the others, they were at a numerical disadvantage, but Qi Zhen and Bai Banxia could fight two each. On the contrary, Li Jinniu was a bit unable to intervene and didn't know how to help.
The sound of fighting outside alarmed the children in the house, and five girls were locked up in the small room. The oldest girl was eight years old. She anxiously said to the other girls: "There's a fight outside, let's run away!"
"
Xiaocao stood up and blocked the door, "No, we can't run around, it will cause chaos."
The eight-year-old girl was not convinced, "Xiaohong, how old are you? What do you know? If they can't defeat us, we won't be able to escape."
But Xiaocao stubbornly blocked the door and said, "If my sister can't beat her, then we won't be able to escape."
"Get out of the way. If you want to wait for death, just wait by yourself. Don't stop me." The girl pushed Xiaocao.
Xiaocao was young after all, so she suddenly fell to the ground, scratched a piece of her palm and started bleeding.
The other girls were startled and asked her if she was okay.
However, Xiaocao didn't cry or scream. She didn't even frown. She stretched out her other hand and grabbed the girl's trouser leg tightly, "Don't run around, don't cause trouble to my sister!"
"You..." The girl didn't have bad intentions. Seeing that she accidentally hurt Xiaocao, she felt very guilty, but she couldn't bear to kick her. For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate, and the door of the house was pushed open violently.
"Xiaocao!" Bai Banxia rushed in and saw Xiaocao lying on the ground and grabbing a girl's trouser leg, as if she had been bullied.
She rushed over and hugged Xiaocao, "Are you okay? Where are you injured?"
"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, I just won't let them run out and cause trouble." Xiaocao said with a smile.
Only then did Bai Banxia understand what had just happened, and for a moment she felt particularly comforted. Her little grass was so smart, and she knew not to run around or cause trouble at the critical moment.
The girl who was pulled blushed. She heard from the screams in the courtyard that their captors had been knocked down.
Bai Banxia looked at the other girls, "You were right not to run out. There was a fight outside just now. Once the other party captures you as hostages, you are in danger and we can't save them. Fortunately, everything is fine now.
The government will send you home later."
The eight-year-old girl suddenly started crying, "My family sold me, and I will starve to death when I get home."
One girl cried, and the other girls started to cry too. Bai Banxia hurriedly comforted them and asked some questions.
After asking about it, I found out that there were five girls, the eldest of whom was called Wang Xiaohua, who was just eight years old, and the youngest, who was over five years old, said her name was Yatou, but she couldn't tell her surname clearly.
Xiaocao pulled her sleeve and said, "This girl was trafficked."
Bai Banxia looked at the girl, "Do you remember where your home is? What are your parents' names?"
The girl called Yatou has a small face and fair skin, but she is obviously not well-nourished.
She pursed her lips and was about to cry, "I don't remember. Before I was sold here, I overheard my grandma saying that she had kidnapped me from the market. After raising me for two years, I could almost be sold for money. She also said that she couldn't find it.
To something."
"Don't be afraid. If the officials ask you, just tell them the truth. You will definitely find your parents." Bai Banxia touched the little girl's head sympathetically.
Two years ago, the little girl was just over three years old, so it was normal for her not to remember. If she hadn't overheard what her grandma said, she would have been kept in the dark.
Maybe she won't even be able to remember this incident in a few years. Fortunately, she was rescued by Bai Banxia and the others today.
Kong Chao in the yard said unconvinced: "Officials can arrest people at will? What I do is a serious business, and everyone has a contract to sell themselves. Their family is poor. If you sell people to me, at least they won't starve to death. I have
What crime?"
At this time, Bai Banxia walked out holding Xiaocao in one hand and the girl in the other.
"Brother Li, this little girl was abducted and we need to report it to the authorities!" Bai Banxia said loudly.
"You're talking nonsense! I have the deed of prostitution for her, but you are just making up trumped-up charges." Kong Chao touched his sleeve secretly. The deed of prostitution was all on him, so he would be fine.
Xiaocao looked at the girl and encouraged her, "Girl, you can speak for yourself."
"I was trafficked. I was kidnapped from the market two years ago!" The girl didn't understand much, but she knew that the elder sister asked her to tell the truth, so she told it again.
Kong Chao immediately figured out that this was a kidnapped child, and then sold it to him.
Those who ride horses hunt geese all day long, causing the geese to peck their eyes!
"I seriously suspect that your place is a large-scale child trafficking gang. Go back to the Yamen and explain it to the county magistrate." Li Jinniu finally found his sense of existence and shouted loudly.
"What did you have to do with me two years ago? Sir, please don't accuse me wrongly." Kong Chao was worried in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
"They are the downline, and you are the upline. They collect goods every two or three years. Stop talking nonsense, and it will be clear when you go back to the Yamen for review." After Li Jinniu finished speaking, he stepped forward to tie him up.
Suddenly Kong Chao jumped up, pulled out a dagger from his boot and stabbed Li Jinniu.
"Be careful!" Bai Banxia was shocked, but she was a little far away, and grabbed the children one by one. She couldn't help, but she saw that Li Jinniu was about to be stabbed.
Suddenly, Qi Zhen flashed, rushed over and grabbed Kong Chao's wrist. There was a click, Kong Chao screamed, his wrist was broken, and the gleaming dagger fell to the ground.
Li Jinniu broke into a cold sweat down his spine, and it took him a while to recover.
"Brother Qi, thank you very much." He cupped his fists and thanked him, feeling particularly uncomfortable.
"It's okay." Qi Zhen replied calmly, which was in sharp contrast to Kong Chaoxing who was screaming because his hand was broken, as if nothing could affect him.
He found hemp rope from the courtyard, tied several people behind their backs, and strung them together like rice dumplings.
"What to do with those two people who fainted?" He looked at Bai Banxia and asked.
"Tie them together too. I'll give them two injections to wake them up, and then drag them back to the Yamen." Bai Banxia squinted his eyes and looked at Kong Chao, who was screaming repeatedly. Suddenly his feet moved, and he went over to give him an injection.
Kong Chao stared at her with wide eyes, his mouth opened wide, but no sound came out.
"It's so noisy, don't scare the children." Bai Banxia complained.
Qi Zhen hummed, "It's so thoughtful that I didn't expect."
Li Jinniu looked at the two people with mixed feelings in his heart. It seemed that he shouldn't have come. Not only was he superfluous, he had to be distracted to save him, and that person was also his love rival...
