"It was our fault, Boss. We couldn't help but let our old habits come back. But we've brought them here, so we can't send them back down."

"Send them down? That's wishful thinking. Let's set out tonight. Take them with you if you can, and if not, just throw them to the back hill to feed the wolves."

"The boss is right. What's wrong with us making some more money? Brothers need to eat, too."

Xiaomi felt a little troubled as she listened to Tuanzi's retelling, as they were going to move that evening.

I heard from Tuanzi that there were six people outside, five men and one woman.

Besides, they are all martial artists, and if a fight really breaks out, Xiaomi may not be able to hold on.

Just as I was thinking about what to do, Yan Hui called Xiaomi anxiously over there.

Although his voice sounded anxious, he didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of being heard by people outside.

"Sister, sister, there is a person here who cannot be woken up, and has many injuries on his body."

Xiaomi walked over and saw a person lying on the ground with his back to her.

Yan Hui saw Xiaomi turning around and pushed him a few more times.

But the man didn't react at all, and it was obvious that he was unconscious.

Xiaomi walked up to the man and saw that his lips were chapped and his face was pale.

The clothes he was wearing were faintly blood-stained, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.

Xiaomi asked Yan Hui: "Who came first, you or him?"

Yan Hui: "This brother came first. When I woke up, my brother was already lying here.

It was this brother who told me not to cry, but then he fell asleep again.”

Xiaomi originally thought that these people's target was Yan Hui, but now it seems that the one lying on the ground was the one.

And these later people are the ones who are caught when the old problems of the outsiders recur and they are brought back.

After taking the person's pulse, I found that he was unconscious due to physical weakness. To put it simply, he fainted from hunger.

Thinking about the glucose he had drawn from his space when he was fleeing from the famine, it can now come in handy.

I took out a tube of glucose and gave it to him to drink, and then all I could do was wait for him to wake up.

This is a good time to check if there are any weird but useful props in your space.

But before I could find out who was outside, I walked in and saw that they were all awake but no one called out.

So he said to them curiously, "You little brats are quite honest. Since you are so honest, I won't beat you this time."

He said disgusting things as if he had given a few people a great gift.

After that, he set the table, ordered the wine and food he had bought down the mountain, and said to the person outside the door cordially: "Boss, please come in and have a rest. I have already set up the stools."

Then there was a noisy sound of footsteps, and people outside came in.

When the mangy dog ​​saw the boss coming in, he quickly wiped a stool with his sleeve.

He bent over and said to one of them, "Boss, take this one. I'll clean this one for you."

A strong man walked over and sat down, and patted the mangy dog's head as if he was teasing it.

The mangy dog ​​suddenly became more excited. He hurriedly poured a bowl of wine for the boss and sat down next to him.

The boss was sitting right in front of the group of children. When Xiaomi looked up, he saw the boss as described by the scabby dog.

He was so scared that he quickly hid backwards and lowered his head, not daring to raise it.

Afraid that the boss recognized her, she whispered, "Oh no, how could it be this person? Shouldn't he be in jail now?"

It turns out that this boss is the man-eating sheep that Xiaomi used to ruin orders at the grocery store.

When the bailiffs arrested him, they clearly said that he was a vagrant bandit.

How come a person like this who should have been sentenced severely was released in less than four years, and is still doing bad things around Fengcheng.

I thought that Magistrate Li was really unreliable. He would not let this man-eating sheep escape without keeping an eye on it.

"You scabby dog, you really look like a dog. You're just short of sticking out your tongue."

"I am willing to serve the boss. I am the boss's dog."

The scabby dog's words made several people burst into laughter, and it seemed like the group of people were deliberately making trouble in front of Xiaomi and the others.

I guess he threatened them like this on purpose, thinking that once these kids were scared, they wouldn't dare to run away.

It can also save the cannibals a lot of trouble. It is obvious that this is not the first time they have done this.

Except for the woman and the scabby dog, the other five men and one woman were all strong men, although not as burly as Wang Zhuzi.

But the muscles on their arms bulged high, and each of them had a knife on his waist.

He looks ferocious and fierce, and it's obvious that he is a martial artist.

Although the woman was thin, Xiaomi noticed that her hands were exceptionally steady and she walked in a light manner unlike other people.

After eating and drinking their fill, the few people went out of the house, no longer paying attention to the children huddled in the corner.

Before leaving, the scabby dog ​​said to Xiaomi and the others fiercely: "Stay still, or I'll beat you to death."

As he said this, he raised his fist at a few people, scaring the children so much that they squatted on the ground trembling, not daring to move.

Xiaomi also squatted down on the ground, pretending to be scared like the other children.

When the mangy dog ​​saw this, he laughed a few times and followed him out the door, not forgetting to lock the door.

"You're awake, eat something."

Xiaomi saw that the person who had been unconscious had woken up and handed the leftover osmanthus cake to him.

Shen Shiqing looked at the snacks handed to him and forced himself to sit up.

"Thank you."

After saying this, he paused in surprise.

My throat should have been uncomfortable because I hadn't had any water for a long time, but this time when I woke up, my throat didn't have the burning sensation like last time.

He could still feel a sweet taste in his mouth. It must be that these people fed him something to drink.

Because those people outside wouldn't be so kind, as long as they make sure he's not dead, that's enough.

Shen Shiqing didn't ask any more questions, but just took the osmanthus cake and started eating.

Although he had not eaten for several days, Shen Shiqing did not eat voraciously.

He ate the two pieces of snacks quickly but not rudely. Xiaomi squatted beside him and watched him while he ate.

I thought to myself that this child was not from an ordinary family. His demeanor alone was out of tune with others.

But now, poor guy, he's being locked up here and he doesn't know where he'll be sent later.

After Shen Shiqing finished his snack, he said to Xiaomi: "You must escape today. They will move tonight. If you are discovered on the way, they will definitely throw you away first."

Shen Shiqing didn't explain it clearly, just said it was thrown away.

But Xiaomi knew that throwing it away was not just throwing it away, but throwing it to feed the wolves.

While the two were thinking about how to escape, Wang Chengzi was also slowly searching up the mountain.

At this time, the villagers of Lotus Village had also arrived, and together with the servants of the Li Mansion and the people of the Yan family, they were looking for the whereabouts of the children.

Even Magistrate Li came, and brought Nong Si with him.

Five children were lost at once in the area under his jurisdiction. This was no small matter.
