The moment Wen Bai stepped out of the room, Wen Jue, who had been fast asleep, also opened his eyes.
-
The little girl was very thirsty, and had drunk a cup of water before going to sleep.
At this moment, the little girl and another little boy had already been put into a carriage while in a deep sleep.
Mo Xingchen, however, was not so lucky.
Although Mo Xingchen had eaten all the meals provided at night.
Perhaps it was due to his excellent physical condition, or perhaps his physique was slightly fatter than that of an ordinary child, so he woke up just before being put into the carriage.
Granny Qian and the others never dared to use too much medicine on the children, for fear of harming them, which would not be worth it.
But the dosage that was suitable for a normal child became a problem for Mo Xingchen.
When he realized he was being carried, he thought he was being stolen and immediately started to make a fuss, punching the other person in the eye socket with his little fist.
The big man, in pain, lost his temper and handled him with no restraint.
He threw Mo Xingchen heavily onto the ground, slapped him, and left Mo Xingchen dizzy.
Meanwhile, while the two were confronting each other, Wen Bai quietly climbed onto the carriage that Mo Xingchen was about to be put into.
Before climbing up, Wen Bai also carried something black and dark with him.
He was just a child now, small and agile. He slipped out quietly and climbed up quietly without being discovered.
It was also fortunate for Wen Bai that the buyer of Wen Bai and Wen Jue was a local, so there was no need to transport them to another city. Therefore, there was no need to rush, and no need to set off in the middle of the night.
According to Granny Qian's arrangement, they could sleep soundly until dawn.
They only needed to wait for dawn to take Wen Bai and Wen Jue to the place of transaction.
Thus, no one came to their rooms in the middle of the night to move them.
However, after Wen Bai climbed onto the carriage and hid, a moment later, a small figure also climbed up.
Wen Bai was startled, and then he and Wen Jue met eyes in the dim light.
Wen Jue, with a naive little face, asked Wen Bai in a gentle voice, "Brother, why did you leave me behind?"
Wen Bai was silent for a second: "No, I just..."
Wen Bai tried hard to think of an excuse.
System 001 quickly suggested: "To the latrine!"
"Mm, I just came out to use the latrine."
Wen Jue was delighted: "I knew it. I woke up wanting to use the latrine too, and then I saw Brother, so I followed."
The two little heads leaned together, whispering.
Footsteps and low, whimpering cries came from outside.
The two immediately fell silent.
Then, Mo Xingchen was unceremoniously thrown in.
The man was disgusted, and without even sticking his head in to look, he whipped the horse, and the carriage began to move.
Mo Xingchen was still sad, but after being thrown in, he suddenly saw two dark figures inside.
He was so startled that he was about to cry out, but Wen Bai quickly covered his mouth tightly.
"It's us," Wen Jue whispered.
Mo Xingchen was scared out of his wits and struggled violently a few times before calming down.
"Why are you here?"
Wen Bai replied casually: "Looking for the latrine, took a wrong turn."
Wen Jue: "..."
Mo Xingchen: "Oh."
Mo Xingchen was very afraid of Wen Bai at first, but compared to being captured alone and not knowing where he was being taken, Wen Bai did not seem so frightening now.
Of course, it might also be because Wen Jue was here, which gave him some comfort.
At Mo Xingchen's request, Wen Jue untied his hands.
As the carriage gradually entered a desolate area, Wen Bai lifted the curtain of the carriage window and took a look.
Then, in the darkness of the carriage, Wen Bai fumbled around.
Mo Xingchen quietly asked, "What are you looking for?"
Wen Bai replied indifferently: "Something important."
Afterwards, in the pitch darkness, Wen Bai stood up holding a very heavy object. He quietly approached the curtain of the door.
Before Mo Xingchen could even stop him, Wen Bai quietly pushed open the curtain with his head, struggled to raise the object in his hand, and with all his might, smashed it against the back of the head of the person driving the carriage. The giant stone with its sharp edges.
The man fell off the carriage without even a grunt.
The carriage wheel bumped heavily, the carriage swayed, and it rolled over the man.
Wen Bai asked System 001 in his mind: "What do men appreciate the most?"
System 001 replied instantly: "Intelligent, decisive, and kind."
Wen Bai nodded, and turned back with confidence in the moonlight.
He now possessed at least intelligence and decisiveness.
As a result, Mo Xingchen, who had poked his head out, took a look back by leaning over the carriage shaft.
In the moonlight, the fallen figure did not move.
Then, he burst into tears again, yelling, "You... you killed someone again! Wuwuwuwu..."
Wen Bai: "..."
What happened to the appreciation?
System 001 comforted Wen Bai: "Host, he is probably too young to have grown to understand the meaning of intelligence and decisiveness."
Wen Bai found this very reasonable.
Then, Wen Bai handed over the carriage to System 001 to drive. System 001 exchanged a carrot and hung it in front of the horse's mouth, maintaining the horse's speed and direction.
Then, Wen Bai walked into the carriage and slapped Mo Xingchen's head: "Noisy."
Mo Xingchen was already very afraid of Wen Bai. The previous fear had been overshadowed by the fear of the big man.
But now that he had witnessed Wen Bai killing the big man again, his fear of Wen Bai instantly soared to its peak.
When Wen Bai spoke, he dared not cry anymore.
He could only stifle his sobs, looking pitiful.
As for Wen Jue, he stared at Wen Bai with his round, big eyes, unmoving.
Meanwhile, at the human trafficker's den.
Granny Qian slept until noon and woke up feeling refreshed and energetic.
Because of her profession, and perhaps because of her age, she often suffered from insomnia and could not sleep all night.
Last night's sleep was exceptionally peaceful and sweet.
She changed her clothes and looked at the sun outside.
Her hired thugs should have brought back the money by now.
Granny Qian happily pushed open the door.
But she found the courtyard unusually quiet.
The thugs, who usually ate at a table in the courtyard at noon, had disappeared.
Had these thugs absconded with the money?
This kind of thing had happened in their line of work before.
As this thought crossed Granny Qian's mind, her hand trembled, and she quickly returned to her room.
She was trembling violently.
Entering the room, she indeed saw that the locked box containing the banknotes in her cabinet had been smashed open. Inside, apart from the jewelry, all the large banknotes and even the loose silver were gone.
Granny Qian took a deep breath and then went to check the other rooms.
She was shocked to discover that out of the 5 thugs she had hired, four were dead!
And all of them had died with blood flowing from their seven orifices.
And the children?
Granny Qian, trembling, shakily opened the doors and checked them one by one. Every room was empty!
Carriages, yes, there were carriages.
Granny Qian walked out unsteadily. Two carriages were missing from the courtyard, but not a single child was there.
These little brats!
Granny Qian, who was greedy for money, was so enraged by this that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted with her eyes rolled back.
