After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 80: Shangyuan Chapter, Human Traffickers

"Da da da..."

The group entered the city.

Lin Shuyue rode on her horse and looked at the colorful lanterns hanging on the doors of shops on both sides of the street, and suddenly remembered that today was the Lantern Festival.

On New Year’s Eve, the group was still on their way and had completely forgotten about the New Year.

They found an inn to stay in, and after having dinner in the lobby, they went back to their rooms to take a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean clothes and went out.

As soon as you walk out of the inn, you will see colorful lanterns everywhere, which are gorgeous and dazzling.

Lin An and others came to the bustling night market.

Everyone looked curiously at the various lanterns hanging on the shops on both sides, some in the shape of magpies, jade rabbits, tigers, lotus flowers...

Young boys and girls in gorgeous clothes were crowded in front of the shop, guessing riddles.

Several street vendors were performing acrobatics, and the fire coming out of their mouths drew cheers...

At the second-floor windows of the restaurant and teahouse, there were many wealthy ladies and some handsome young men leaning against the windows, pointing and joking at the crowd below.

The group walked slowly, and when they passed an alley, Lin Shuyue saw a little girl about her age, dressed in brocade, bending over and talking to a child.

Lin Shuyue looked at the child with his back to her and felt something was strange.

Suddenly, the child pointed at the dark alley, and the little girl took the child's hand and turned to walk into the alley.

At this time, three short men walked out of the crowd and headed straight towards the alley.

Lin Shuyue was startled and quickly told Li, then took her two brothers and ran straight to the alley.

"Who are you? Let me go, um..."

Tang Wanchu never thought that he would be caught by human traffickers because of his kindness.

She tried desperately to struggle, but her mouth was quickly covered, her hands were tied, and she was thrown into a sack.

Then her body suddenly flew into the air and was carried on someone's shoulders.

Tang Wanchu was anxious and afraid, and her body kept twisting. The man who was carrying her was a little unstable for a moment.

"Third brother, can you do this?"

A child's voice sounded, and Tang Wanchu was shocked. The child was actually in cahoots with this group of people.

Here, Lin Shuyue rushed into the alley with her two brothers, but found that there was no one in the dark alley.

"Sister, there is a small door here."

Lin Shuyuan pushed open the small door and found that there was another street behind it.

Lin Shuyue saw three men and a child running quickly at the corner of the street, one of them carrying a sack on his shoulder.

"Hurry, they are human traffickers!"

Without time to explain in detail, Lin Shuyue used his lightness skills and caught up with the human traffickers in a few breaths.

When the human traffickers saw the little girl blocking the way, they smiled at each other.

A man who looked honest and simple walked forward, rubbing his hands.

“Tsk tsk…this little girl came to my door on her own initiative.” As he said this, he was about to grab Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue dodged to the side, turned the sword in her hand, and pierced the man's neck. Then she pulled the sword out, and blood gushed out.

When the other human traffickers saw the miserable state of the second brother, they were so scared that they turned around and tried to run away, but were blocked by the two Lin Shuyuan brothers standing behind them.

"Put people down!"

Lin Shuyue looked at the man carrying the sack with cold eyes.

The man was trembling with fear and was about to put it down, but was stopped by the child.

"Don't listen to her, Lao San. We can't let her go. If we do, we won't be able to leave."

Lin Shuyue looked at this strange child and smiled sarcastically.

Suddenly, she dodged quickly, and when she looked again, she saw that the sack was already in her hand.

The man stood there in astonishment.

"Big brother, second brother, leave him alive."

Lin Shuyue instructed her two brothers while deftly untying the rope of the sack.

As soon as he opened the bag, he saw the little girl he had just met looking at him with tears streaming down her face.

She pulled the cloth out of the little girl's mouth and untied the ropes that bound her hands.

It was probably because the little girl struggled hard just now that there was a red mark on her fair wrist.

"Wow..."

Tang Wanchu suddenly rushed towards Lin Shuyue, hugged her and cried.

Lin Shuyue helplessly patted the little girl in her arms and comforted her: "Okay, it's okay, we caught the bad guy."

Tang Wanchu sniffed and let go of Lin Shuyue somewhat embarrassedly.

She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves and looked at her with bright eyes: "Thank you, my name is Tang Wanchu, what's your name?"

Lin Shuyue looked at the little girl with clear eyes and asked her, "Why did you come out alone? Where is your family? I'll take you back."

"My family is in Yuhua Tower, I ran away secretly..."

Tang Wanchu spoke in a lower and lower voice, shrinking his neck for fear of being scolded.

"Sister, why is this child so strange?" Lin Shuyan looked at the child curiously.

His words diverted Tang Wanchu's attention.

She looked at the child who was glaring at Lin Shuyue angrily and exclaimed, "That's him, he said his home is behind this alley.

He didn't dare to go into the dark alley alone, so I accompanied him in."

Lin Shuyue walked forward, observed carefully for a while, and explained to them seriously: "He is not a child, he is a dwarf. In fact, he should be thirty years old."

When the child heard Lin Shuyue point out his identity, he glared at her angrily.

After hearing this, the Lin Shuyuan brothers and Tang Wanchu looked at the child-sized man in astonishment.

"How despicable! He pretended to be a child and lied to me!" Tang Wanchu was a little angry and embarrassed.

“Whether they are real children or adults, you should not just listen to what they say.

When you are out, you can't trust others easily." Lin Shuyue looked at Tang Wanchu seriously.

Tang Wanchu realized that he was wrong and nodded to admit his mistake.

"Okay, we'll take you back. We'll have to hand these three people over to the soldiers later. There must be an organization behind them."

Lin Shuyue pulled Tang Wanchu out, and the two brothers Lin Shuyuan followed behind, pushing the tied up human trafficker.

Lin An and others who were waiting at the entrance of the alley saw the children come back and went up to ask them what happened.

Lin Shuyue briefly recounted what had just happened, and then the group went to Yuhua Tower.

Yuhua Tower, in the private room on the second floor.

Mrs. Tang looked anxiously at the door and asked the maid beside her: "Mother Yang, why hasn't Ah Chu come back yet?"

Mother Yang helped her sit down and comforted her, "Maybe the lanterns on the street are so beautiful that the young lady is reluctant to leave. Don't worry, the second young master has already gone to look for him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open. When Tang Wanchu saw his mother, tears welled up in his eyes again.

"mother!"

"Oh, my god, Achu, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Mrs. Tang hugged her with concern and asked repeatedly.

Outside the door, Lin Shuyue and Li looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, and didn't know whether they should go in.

Tang Wanchu rubbed against Mrs. Tang's arms, then broke free from her embrace and trotted to the door.

"Ayue, auntie, come in quickly."

Mrs. Tang looked at the wet mark on her chest, feeling a little amused.

Then he saw his daughter bringing in a little girl and a woman. He was a little curious: "Achu, what is this?"

"Mom, I just met a human trafficker and was almost kidnapped.

Fortunately, Ah Yue and her two brothers showed up in time to save me, and the trafficker was also caught."

Tang Wanchu explained the whole thing in detail.

"What? Human traffickers? You're not hurt?"

Mrs. Tang checked carefully and found only a red mark on the wrist, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the gentleness on her face faded, and she reached out and grabbed Tang Wanchu's ear.

She put her left hand on her waist, looking ferocious, "You are quite courageous. You sneaked out without saying a word and even met a human trafficker."

"Mom... it hurts... I was wrong. I won't do it again next time..."

Tang Wanchu stood on tiptoe and begged for mercy.
