Cannon's little husband

The walls and ground in the cellar were very black, and it was unknown whether it was the original color, or it was dyed after layers of blood dried up.

There were six or seven corpses scattered all over the ground. These corpses were scattered, most of them were in the corners, and a few were in other places. As Tang Wuyu reminded at the beginning, one of the corpses , right under the cellar mouth, was he desperately thinking of ways to escape before he died?

And the most worrying thing is that these corpses are very small.

After the servants cleared out all the corpses in the cellar, everyone fell silent.

There were seven corpses in total, the longest one was less than the chest of an adult, and the smallest one was a little longer than his entire arm.

Looking at the seven corpses, Ju Zhixian's face was livid, and the anger in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Check! Check it out!" Ju Zhixian's voice was cold and firm, his anger was hidden under the ice, and he didn't know when it would burst out.

"Yes!" The yamen servants responded in unison, although there were only a dozen of them, but the firm voice seemed to ring out in the sky.

Sitting on the chair in the main hall of the county government office, Lian Qi was a little listless.

Juzhi County has sent people to strictly check the people coming and going, as long as there are people with children, they will be interrogated.

However, Juzhi County also told Lian Qi and the others, "After these traffickers usually abduct children, they will immediately transfer the children to other counties or even other prefectures overnight."

"According to the results of the autopsy, these children did not die at the same time. The earliest one may have been dead for half a year, and the latest one was less than half a month old."

Lian Qi's face was full of disbelief, "What do you mean, those people, those people directly put the child and the corpse together?"

Even rotting corpses.

Ju Zhixian nodded with a gloomy expression, "I'm afraid that's the case."

Lian Qi clenched her fists, "It's simply not as good as a beast!"

"What about the people from Siqing Noodle Shop?"

"It has been found out. The person named Yin Si has been taken into custody. There is also a person named Xu Lengqing and a person named Ren Hai who have escaped. I have already asked the officer for instructions. The arrest warrant will be posted soon."

Lian Qi pursed her lips, "Master Zhixian, how likely is it that Ayu can get back?"

Ju Zhixian looked firm, "I will definitely find it!"

Lian Qi took a deep breath, "Thank you magistrate."

Seeing that Lian Qi didn't seem to believe his promise, Juzhi County sighed helplessly, "Brother Lian, don't worry, the main purpose of human traffickers to catch children is to make money, unless it is infected with something that is very difficult to treat." Otherwise, they will definitely not give up their children. Although there are many children in the cellar, in fact, most of them are not from our Jinshi County. I have recorded the characteristics of those children in detail , Not only presented it to the Shangguan, but also sent it to the neighboring counties and prefectures, if anyone who lost the child sees it, they should look for it."

After listening to Juzhi County's comfort, for some reason, Lian Qi felt even more flustered.

"Lord magistrate," Lian Qi's voice was a little hoarse, "What will happen to a brother like Ayu after being abducted by human traffickers?"

"We will definitely find it in the end!" Ju Zhixian's voice was very firm.

Lian Qi smiled wryly, "Lord Magistrate, you don't need to comfort me, I just want to know the worst outcome... when the time comes... no, definitely not!"

In the end, it was Lian Qi who denied her own words.

Looking at Lian Qi like this, Ju Zhixian also felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help but sighed heavily, "Generally, a little brother like Lian Yu may be sold as a servant, or he may be sold as a servant." Some people will buy it back as a servant boy, or else it will be a child bride."

Juzhi County also picked up some that were acceptable.

Otherwise, other fates, such as being sold into a brothel, would make one feel hopeless just thinking about it.What's more, there are those who deliberately mutilate their children to beg...

At this time, Lian Yu, who was being worried about, was not missing an arm or a leg yet.

He hid behind a young man and looked around vigilantly until the person who came to deliver the food left. Lian Yu rushed up and snatched two pancakes from a dozen children with his own small body. .

Holding the two pancakes tightly, he ran to the boy's side in three steps at a time, "Brother Wan Xia, here you are."

Wan Xia looked at the pancake being delivered to her with complicated expressions in her eyes.

He really didn't understand this little guy, he was still crying when he just woke up from the carriage, crying so much that the traffickers driving the carriage were annoyed, and almost tied him up and gagged him.

In the end, Wan Xia spoke up, saying that she had a way to make Lian Yu stop, thus avoiding Lian Yu's fate of being tied up and stuffed with a rag.

It's just that since then, Lian Yu seems to have identified Wan Xia, relying on Wan Xia for everything.

At that time, Wan Xia thought that this little guy was probably a dodder flower that was weak and needed to be protected by others, but she didn't expect that when it was meal time, the human trafficker who drove the car threw in ten pancakes, and Xiao Lianyu immediately He snatched two pancakes with lightning speed, stuffed one into his mouth, and the other directly into Wan Xia's mouth.

It's not that there are no children who want to snatch it, but in the end they are all stared back by Lian Yu.

The pancake Wan Xia ate was a little tasteless, he had actually been in the carriage for a long time, and saw with his own eyes that there were more and more children on the carriage, but the pancakes given by the traffickers were never based on the number of children. Every time there will be a few less.

After several observations, Wan Xia came to the conclusion that it wasn't that there was not enough food, it was just a bad idea of ​​the traffickers. He liked to watch the children huddle together for a few pancakes.

At that time, Wan Xia quietly made a decision. From now on, he would only grab two meals a day and leave some for the other children. Two pancakes were almost enough for him for a day. He didn't need to study sages now. Book, because he has no qualifications for the imperial examination.

Several days passed like this until Lian Yu's arrival.

While chewing the pancake in her mouth, Wan Xia looked at Lian Yu. Lian Yu had already eaten the whole pancake at this time, not even letting go of the crumbs that fell in her hands.

After eating the pancakes, he immediately changed back to his original appearance, holding on to Wan Xia with all his strength.

Wan Xia only ate half of that pancake, and handed the other half to Lian Yu, "Eat it."

"Brother Wanxia, ​​what about you?" Lian Yu raised her head, blinked her eyes, and asked.

"I'm not hungry."

"You're lying." Lian Yu's eyes widened, "I can hear your stomach growl!"

Wan Xia: ...

After being helpless for a while, seeing that Lian Yu still refused to take it, he simply threw the pancakes to the little girl who hadn't gotten any pancakes today.

The children in the car were eager to move, but in the end they all restrained themselves.

The little girl licked her lips, hugged the half pancake as if she was holding some treasure, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

After the lessons of the past few days, no one dares to eat in small bites. In case someone is hungry and red-eyed, they can even grab food from your mouth.

The children in the carriage are not always together. Every time they arrive at a specific place, some children will be replaced by new children.Sometimes the new kids don't snatch at all, and other times the new kids are particularly aggressive.

Of course, Lian Yu didn't know these things at this time, he just spent a day in the carriage.

But none of the children here would think that Lian Yu was really the first day of being abducted, after all, he was really too fierce when grabbing pancakes!

The speed of the carriage was quite fast, and sometimes if one accidentally stepped on a stone, the entire carriage would be bumped up, and if the speed was fast, some people would even be bumped to the roof of the carriage.

And Lian Yu took advantage of the bumps to get closer to Wan Xia.

Maybe it's the fledgling plot in his heart, which made Lian Yu very dependent on Wan Xia who reached out to him for the first time.

Wan Xia... Wan Xia simply let him go.

After being silent for a while, Lian Yu finally couldn't hold back, and asked Wan Xia quietly, "Brother Wan Xia, where am I? Where is this carriage going?"

Before Wan Xia could answer, a little guy who was unkempt but could still see the delicate facial features said bluntly, "Are you out of your mind? You can't even see it so obvious?"

"I can't see it..." Lian Yu was wronged, "How do I know who they are, and why am I here? I obviously ate delicious food at my brother's wedding banquet!"

As soon as Lian Yu's words came out of her mouth, she immediately received sympathetic looks from the whole car.

In the end, Wan Xia explained, "Looking at it this way, you were kidnapped."

"Trafficking?" Lian Yu seemed to understand a little bit, "So that aunt doesn't really want to treat me to delicious food, but wants to sell me!"

"Well, some of the people in this carriage were abducted, some were sold by parents, brothers, or relatives, and some sold themselves." Wan Xia's voice was very calm, so calm that no one could notice it at all. He was also one of those who were sold.

Lian Yu hesitated a little, "Why would someone sell themselves, who sold themselves?"

Wan Xia said lightly, "It's me."

Lian Yu's eyes widened, "Why!"

Not only Lian Yu, but other people in the carriage also looked at Wan Xia curiously.

Wan Xia, however, seemed to be sitting still like an old monk, and stopped talking.
