As soon as the last man got off the bridge, the tree crashed into it, and the wooden bridge finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell apart into the flood.

Tang Ningnan looked at Li Lanshi, and he was also shocked, but fortunately, he caught up, if Li Lanshi and these guards were swept into the flood and died because of their proposal, he would be guilty.

Feng Feihan patted her shoulder on the side and said softly, "It's okay, I've been rescued." ”

Li Lanshi picked up the child, Tang Ningnan went up and asked carefully, asking him if there was anything uncomfortable on his body, and if he remembered who his family was, the child didn't speak, his eyes stared at the steamed bun in the hand of a victim next to him.

It turned out that he was hungry, and Tang Ningnan immediately asked Ran Jiang to bring steamed buns for the child.

The child took the steamed bun and whispered thank you, the voice was not the soft and glutinous feeling of a child, but revealed hoarseness.

At this sound, Tang Ningnan's heart was broken, this child was washed into such a flood, and he didn't forget to say thank you when he got food.

I don't know how many of the hundred or so dead people are children like this, Tang Ningnan sighed lightly.

That Wu Guizhang really deserves death!

After the child finished eating the steamed buns, Tang Ningnan continued to ask him if he felt unwell, after all, if he was rescued in the water full of mud and gravel, he would inevitably have collision injuries on his body.

The kid shook his head, but Tang Ningnan was still not at ease, so he took him to the board room, asked Ran Jiang to change his clothes, and by the way, he saw if there were any injuries on his body.

Fortunately, Ran Jiang came out after changing his clothes, saying that he only saw a few bruises on his legs, and there were no major wounds.

Tang Ningnan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he asked where the child's parents were, he stopped talking.

Looking at the child's appearance, Tang Ningnan probably understood that the child's parents and relatives may have died in this flood, so it is difficult to continue to ask.

asked Ran Jiang to take him down to rest, but at this moment, a woman with loose hair ran from a distance, shouted Xunbao, walked to Tang Ningnan's approach, and immediately picked up the child.

thanked Tang Ningnan repeatedly, saying that he was grateful to them for saving his child, and said that his child had a bad brain, and he would not answer the question when asked, how.

Fortunately, the mother is still there, if it is an orphan, this child will be pitiful, Tang Ningnan remembered the scene when his parents died when he was a child, he was still young at that time, and he didn't know what it meant that adults were wearing white linen on their heads, so he could only listen to the arrangements of a few uncles, kneeling in front of two big black and big boxes.

It was the coffin where the bodies of her parents were placed, and after the funeral was handled, Tang Ningnan was kicked around by her uncles like a ball, and no one wanted to raise her, and in the end, her grandmother came forward to protect her in her arms, saying that you don't raise me to raise her.

The little hand, held by her grandmother's wrinkled hand, Tang Ningnan looked at the kind old man in front of her, and felt that she was very warm, and since then, Tang Ningnan has lived in the countryside with her grandmother.

Tang Ningnan saw that he hadn't seen this woman when she had just been assigned a residence, so she stepped forward to ask them if they had a place to settle down, if they wanted to live here, they could provide porridge and steamed buns.

The woman quickly shook her head, said no, and then quickly left with the child named Xunbao in her arms.

When the woman left, Xunbao was still holding a steamed bun in her hand, staring at Tang Ningnan with a reluctant look.

Thinking that the woman obviously looked like a disaster victim, she refused to live here, and she didn't even want to have food.

Seeing Xun Bao's eyes again, Tang Ningnan felt that something was wrong, and Feng Feihan and Li Lanshi beside him also saw it.

So on the order of Feng Feihan, Li Lanshi secretly followed.

Li Lanshi secretly followed the woman, the woman went all the way to the upper reaches of the river, walked for a short time, came to a cave, followed her in, Li Lanshi found that not only Xunbao, but also a group in the cave, Li Lanshi roughly counted, there were almost fifteen.

The woman handed Xunbao to a bearded man sitting on a rock in the cave, and the man picked up the thin wicker and fanned Xunbao's buttocks.

"Let you run, let you run, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you."

Xunbao's cry echoed back and forth in the cave, and the other children were crowded in a corner with frightened faces, Li Lanshi really couldn't bear to rush up to save Xunbao, but a tall and mighty man came out of the depths of the cave, three people, one of them was still so strong, Li Lanshi naturally competed, so she could only endure it first, find out the situation and report it back.

"Okay, it's enough to teach a lesson, if the child is injured, the price won't be good." The woman said, took out the dry food from the baggage, gave each of the children a little bit, and said to them, "Don't run away after you eat, do you hear?" Otherwise, the end will only be worse than Xunbao. ”

The group of children grabbed the dry food, nodded timidly, and gnawed on the dry food.

It turned out to be a human trafficker, Li Lanshi understood now, no wonder Xunbao didn't look close to this woman at all.

"I don't know when the flood will recede, this cave Lao Tzu can't live anymore." The bearded man spoke again, "It's really unlucky, I managed to get so much, and now I can't sell it." ”

"Not exactly." The tall man took his words, "I see that the rain has stopped for a long time, it shouldn't rain again, and we will set off for Mianshui tomorrow morning, where are there many people in Yuzhou waiting to have children." ”

Just now, the woman also added, saying that she had just gone down and saw that the river embankment had been repaired, and it seemed that there were still officers and soldiers rehousing the victims, so there should be no danger.

Hearing that these people said that they were going to leave tomorrow, Li Lanshi felt that things could not be delayed, and immediately got up and went back to Feng Feihan to give her life.

"What, traffickers?" Hearing Li Lanshi say that the woman was not Xunbao's mother, but a human trafficker, Tang Ningnan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, there are more than a dozen children in the cave, and those traffickers said that they would leave tomorrow and sell these children to the Yushu side."

Matazhou is not the territory of Liang State, and once the child is sold there, it will be difficult to find it back, without further ado, Tang Ningnan asked Feng Feihan to immediately send someone to search and rescue.

Feng Feihan calmly asked about the force of those traffickers, Li Lanshi said that he only saw three adults, two men, one woman, and he didn't know if there were any other people, for the sake of safety, Feng Feifei asked Li Lanshi to bring more than ten guards.

Tang Ningnan said that the child must have been scared of being abducted by traffickers, and these guards were afraid of scaring them, so they begged to go too.

Li Lanshi said that there were only three traffickers, and there were more than a dozen of them, so it shouldn't be too dangerous, so she allowed Tang Ningnan to go with her.

Concubine Hua next to her listened, and she also knew that they had the chance to win, and they had to keep up, rescue the child, and be supported by the people, how could Tang Ningnan be able to occupy it alone.

However, he directly told Feng Feihan that he would definitely not agree, and Hua Concubine had no choice but to follow secretly.

On the way to the cave, another raindrop fell, Tang Ningnan stretched out his hand to catch the raindrop falling from the sky, and was very worried in his heart, this rain can not fall again.

But the rain is just rain, how can it come according to the will of man, before reaching the cave, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

When they arrived at the place, Li Lanshi sneaked in from the entrance of the cave with the guards, the three traffickers rushed because they had to get up early tomorrow morning, and the two men closed their eyes and rested in the cave, only the woman was awake and watching the child.

Li Lanshi took a dozen people to control the three of them effortlessly, while Tang Ningnan protected the children and kept them from harm.

The three traffickers scolded at first, saying that they had people in Meixian County, and it would be useless to arrest them, but Li Lanshi didn't look afraid, and reported Huang Qi's name as the governor of Mishui, and these people were immediately dumbfounded.

Li Lanshi ordered someone to tie up the three traffickers with ropes, and at this time, Hua Concubine came from outside the cave, looked at the scene in front of her, and said that she could take the child back first, but Li Lanshi did not agree, and handed over the child to Hua Concubine, and it may not have been handed over to the traffickers for safety.

Tang Ningnan felt that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was not safe to stay in the mountains, so it was safer to move to a flat area with a slightly higher ground in the county government.

asked Li Lanshi to send some guards to Concubine Hua and asked him to go back with some of the children first.

She and Li Lanshi took the rest of the people, tied up the three traffickers, and then took the other children out.

The rain is indeed getting heavier and heavier, and the current situation can not be delayed any longer, Tang Ningnan originally wanted to let Concubine Hua take all the children away, but in this way, the guards would be assigned to him to take care of the children, and she and Li Lanshi might not be able to look at the traffickers, so they could only be divided into two groups.

I thought that the matter would be over here, but as soon as Hua Concubine walked out of the cave, huge rocks and dirt fell down from the mountain, blocking the entrance of the cave.

Tang Ningnan's first reaction was whether the children and guards outside were hit by boulders, but fortunately, the part of the landslide was not very large, it only covered the entrance of the cave, and they were not injured.

The guards outside shouted Li Lanshi's name, but Tang Ningnan and Li Lanshi asked them to go first, maybe there would be a boulder slipping later.

But the guards couldn't bear to leave, firstly because Li Lanshi had a good relationship with his subordinates, and secondly, because these people had all received Tang Ningnan's favor, and they would not leave a noble concubine in such a dangerous place.

The people inside let the people outside go, and the people outside wanted to save the people inside, but the two sides were at a stalemate, and the people outside had already begun to clean up the dirt at the entrance of the cave, when another wave of boulders and dirt fell down.

"Crazy, crazy, these people are crazy." Hua Concubine thought to herself, if they didn't leave, they would all be buried here alive, and they were panicked and wanted to run down the mountain.

I could still hear people talking just now, but now that the gravel falls, I can't hear anything, continue to stay here, maybe these children are also saved in vain, and in desperation, the guards have to leave with the birch concubine.
