11. Trafficking

Meng Shuangshuang jerked off the cloth on his head, and a pair of big watery eyes were facing the person outside the car, and the man was stunned: "It's you?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang's eyes were full of begging, and he folded his hands and bowed to Wang Dafu who was standing outside the car, Wang Dafu hesitated for a moment, and someone asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Dafu let go and put down the tarpaulin: "It's okay!" Ning Xi's tense whole body relaxed.

Follow the swill car all the way to Zhuangzi outside the city, the sky is already dark, no one cares after the swill car stops, the two quietly mixed out, escaped with their lives, ran to the wild, and didn't care about the cold jumped into the river to wash off the stench, and ate a full meal of steamed buns brought out by Meng Shuangshuang, and finally lay on the grass exhausted, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Ning Xi let out a long sigh: "It's finally free." ”

Meng Shuangshuang didn't feel as much as her, for her, what she yearns for in her bones is a stable life: "But we have human lives on our backs, will the government want us?" Besides, we don't have a way to go, so where can we go? ”

"There is no endless road, take one step at a time!"

"If I was really ruined by that fool at that time, I don't want to live, my life was saved by you Ningxi, where you go in the future, I will follow you, Ningxi, what are your plans?"

"Of course, I'm looking for a place to settle down and open a restaurant! But now, I'm afraid it's not so easy to take such a shape, and I don't know where we can stay! What about you, where do you most want to go? ”

"Actually, what I want most is to go back to Lishui to have a look."

"It's not safe to go back to Lishui now!"

"I know, just think about it, I just want to go back and see him, if I confirm that he really changed his mind, then I can go without hesitation, but what if there is something hidden here? I don't want to have any regrets. Meng Shuangshuang sighed.

Ning Xi held Meng Shuangshuang's hand: "When we have a way, I will definitely go back with you to take a look." ”

"Thank you, Ningxi."

"Do we sisters still need to say such things? Hurry up and go to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow, it's a new day. In the end, Ning Xi couldn't help but quote the famous words of Scarlett in the novel "Gone with the Wind" that he read in his previous life, no matter what, his current life is always in his own hands.

The two woke up early in the morning of the second day, did not dare to stay too much, and could not distinguish the direction, only knew that the farther away from Yunhai City the better, so they hurried in the opposite direction of Yunhai City, at first they did not dare to stay, they could only sleep in the wilderness, after a few days, they really felt that their bodies could not bear it, so they found a roadside wild shop, did not check the kind of road guide, and spent more than a dozen copper plates to live in.

Finally took a bath with hot water, and the two ordered two plates of stir-fry to eat in the room, "I haven't eaten hot dishes for a long time, it's delicious." Meng Shuangshuang sighed.

"Don't you think it tastes a little weird?" Ning Xi frowned.

"Is there one? I'm feeling a little dizzy. ”

"Me too." Ning Xi stretched out his hand to press his forehead, and suddenly the sky swirled, and the two of them fell on the table one after the other.

When they woke up, the two of them had been stuffed into a black carriage with their hands tied behind their backs, and their mouths were also gagged, I don't know what rags they were used to plug them, and there was a disgusting stench. Ning Xi sighed, I really didn't expect that he was so wise that he actually got caught up in a rural wild shop and was kidnapped.

Judging from the several children who were also tied up in the car, this should be a gang of gangsters who abducted and sold women and children.

I don't know how long they walked in the dark carriage, just when Ning Xi thought that she would be starved to death if she didn't suffocate to death, they were transferred to a ship, still in the dark bilge, but at least they no longer had rags in their mouths, their hands and feet were loosened, and they had their first meal in a long time - a dry and hard black noodles for each person.

Someone in the cabin cried "dushly", and after a while, the crying spread, almost all the children cried, and cried louder and louder, and the cry reached outside the cabin, causing a burst of cursing, and suddenly the hatch above the head opened, and a bucket of cold water poured in: "Cry again, cry again and catch it and throw it into the river!" ”

Frightened, the children didn't dare to cry anymore, but they couldn't help it, and whimpered in a low voice from time to time, Ning Xi found that a little boy lying next to her had been curled up there, barely moving, and couldn't help but shake his body worriedly: "Hey, how are you?" ”

I was taken aback by this touch, the little boy's small body was actually hot, the clothes on his body were soaked by the bucket of cold water just now, and he was coldly attached to his body, and his body kept shaking, and he looked really uncomfortable.

Ning Xi hurriedly helped him take off his soaked clothes, and then took off his coat and wrapped him: "What should I do, if it goes on like this, he will definitely not be able to stand it!" ”

After a while, the little boy's breathing became more and more rapid, and Ning Xi stood up: "I can't care so much, if I drag it out any longer, I will die." "Slam the hatch hard.

"Is there anyone outside, open the door!" The palms of his hands were red, and his voice was hoarse, and finally someone came over scolding: "What are you doing?" Tired of living? ”

"Uncle, we have a child here who has a fever, and he is about to die."

"If you have a fever, you have a fever, and we don't have a doctor on this boat, so what can we do, if we die, we will throw it into the river to feed the fish." After speaking, he was about to leave, "Don't make any more noise, or you will be thrown down." ”

Ning Xi hurriedly said: "It's a little boy, he can sell it for a lot of money, just a bowl of ginger soup can save his life." ”

Speaking of being able to sell it for money, the man hesitated for a moment: "This ship is full of big men, who will get that thing." ”

"I will, let me go!"

"You? Don't you want to take the opportunity to slip away? ”

"It's not a boat here, I don't know how to water, how can I escape, and you can lock my hands and feet with iron chains, it won't take much time to cook a bowl of ginger soup, but it can save a life, that's a lot of silver."

These children are not easy to get, especially boys are more valuable, and the man didn't want to lose them in vain, so he agreed to Ning Xi's request, locked her hands and feet with long chains, and let her go to the cabin where she cooked.

In addition to four or five gangsters and a group of children on the boat, there was also a boatman, the boatman was a middle-aged man, with a black face, he couldn't see good and evil, and Ning Xi didn't dare to rashly ask him for help. When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw a pile of melons and vegetables on the ground, and a bucket of freshly caught river fish, which must be the food of these people these days.

Ning Xi faintly had a thought in her heart, quietly found a piece of ginger, smashed it, put it in the pot to cook, saw that no one paid attention to her, and grabbed a carp from the bucket, quickly scaled it, disemboweled, fried both sides with oil, added sweet and sour to cook, and immediately the fragrance spread throughout the ship.

A few gangsters smelled the fragrance and said, "What smell?" ”

Ning Xi pretended to be scared and said, "A few masters, this is the fish I made." ”

Someone couldn't help it, grabbed a pair of bamboo chopsticks and went directly to the pot: "It's delicious!" It's so fuckingly fragrant. The rest of the people also grabbed it, and before the fish could be put out of the pot, it was already eaten up by several people.

Ning Xi said tremblingly: "A few masters, I know how to cook, why don't you let me cook for a few masters on the boat these days?" ”

A gangster who seemed to be the leader glanced at her, and Ning Xi spread out his hands and feet to signal that he was harmless: "I just want to be able to eat a full bite of food." ”

"Okay, that's it." The leader instructed the other person: "Every day when you get to dinner, you will take her out, and when you are done, you will be locked up!" ”

In this way, Ningxi saved the life of the little boy Zhang Zhize with a bowl of hot ginger soup, and every day he could quietly bring back a lot of food and distribute it to the children in the cabin, and everyone gratefully called her fairy sister.

Although Zhang Zhize was cured, he still sat in a daze all day long, without saying a word, Meng Shuangshuang patiently comforted and took care of him carefully, and finally coaxed him to let go of his guard and tell them what happened to him.

It turned out that a few days ago, their village was flooded, and the family fled out, but they didn't expect to meet gangsters on the road, and their parents and two sisters died, and he was the only one who was caught by gangsters and locked up here. Zhang Zhize's two elder sisters, one sixteen and one thirteen, happened to be the same as Meng Shuangshuang and Ning Xi, Meng Shuangshuang felt sorry for this little boy, patted his chest and said: "From now on, you are our own brother, and if we have a bite to eat, we will never starve you." ”

The two hugged and cried, and Ning Xi's heart was also sour.

Because Ning Xi was very well-behaved and obedient, those people gradually relaxed their vigilance against her, and now she could stay on the deck longer and longer, and she no longer had to tie chains to her hands and feet.

On this day, Ning Xi looked at the surrounding scenery, and gradually seemed to be about to enter the city, and then listened carefully to their conversation, and sure enough, they arrived at their destination, and the boat could enter the dock in the afternoon, and the buyers would also trade with them at the dock, and they were discussing whether to leave this little girl who was particularly delicious to cook!

For lunch, Ningxi specially made a pumpkin stewed carp, with plenty of ingredients, a large pot full of fragrant aromas, and several gangsters were very happy.

After lunch, it was time for the boat to enter the dock, and Ning Xi obediently asked people to tie her up like several other children and stuff her into sacks one by one.

It's just that as soon as the people left, Ning Xi immediately began to grind the hemp rope tied to her hand with a small piece of iron hidden in her palm.

Soon the hemp rope in her hand broke, she quickly took off the rag stuffed in her mouth, cut the hemp rope on her foot, cut open the sack and got out, rescued several more people, distributed the iron pieces to them, and several people acted together, and soon released everyone from the sack.

Everyone looked at Ning Xi in amazement, only to see her quietly walk to the door and listen to the movement outside, then let out a loud shout, flew up and kicked the hatch violently, and the hatch opened in response......
