Chapter 260, being targeted
Yangzhou.
"Steamed buns are fragrant and delicious!"
"Sugar gourd ~ sugar gourd ~"
…………
In the market, there were bursts of shouting and shouting, and the market was crowded.
On the second floor of a restaurant, Mo Jiuwu sat leisurely by the railing, looking down at the crowd of people below.
"Yangzhou is worthy of being the junction of the two countries, and it is really lively!" Mo Jiuwu looked at the entire street market and said with some surprise.
"Yangzhou is close to the river, so it is more convenient for materials to come and go, so it has always been a place for countries to compete for, so in this city, the eyeliner of various countries has gathered." Tang Chen explained on the side.
"That's it......" Mo Jiuwu heard this, nodded, thoughtful.
"Okay, don't think about it, try this, you haven't eaten well since you came here." At this time, Xiao Er served many delicacies and filled the table. Tang Chen greeted Mo Jiuwu.
"Hmmm! I do seem to be a little hungry! Looking at the table full of food in front of him, Mo Jiuwu smiled, and then picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
But just as Mo Jiuwu was about to pick up the dishes, looking at the table of delicacies in front of him, his stomach suddenly churned, and he felt a faint feeling of nausea.
"Vomit ......" Mo Jiuwu put down his chopsticks, covered his mouth with his hand, and retched for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Tang Chen came to her side worriedly and looked at her anxiously.
"It's okay...... Maybe it's a bad stomach...... Vomit. Mo Jiuwu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the nausea came back to him.
"Drink some water!" Tang Chen poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Mo Jiuwu took the glass of water and took a sip, and the feeling was a little better.
"Are you better?"
"It's okay." Mo Jiuwu smiled slightly.
Tang Chen saw that Mo Jiuwu was fine, and then sat back in his seat.
"Let's have some soup." Tang Chen scooped a bowl of soup for Mo Jiuwu and put it in front of her.
"Brother Xie Tang!" Mo Jiuwu thanked him, and then picked up the soup bowl and sent it to his mouth, but the closer he got to it, the smell poured into Mo Jiuwu's nasal cavity, and the nausea in his stomach came again, and Mo Jiuwu hurriedly put down the bowl.
"Still not working? I'm going to find Langzhong! Tang Chen looked at Mo Jiuwu's retching face turned pale, got up and said, and prepared to leave as he spoke.
"Brother Tang, no need, it may be that I didn't have a good rest last night, I'll just take a rest!" Mo Jiuwu hurriedly stopped him.
When Tang Chen heard this, he stopped and looked at her, thought about it for a while, and finally listened to her words and did not go to Lang Zhong.
After a brief meal, Mo Jiuwu pulled Tang Chen to wander around the market.
The bustling street market is filled with the smell of food.
But the smell was very disgusting to Mo Jiuwu.
"Sour plum juice, delicious sour plum juice!"
At this moment, a shout on the side attracted Mo Jiuwu's interest, and Mo Jiuwu walked over.
"Yo! Miss, would you like a glass of sour plum juice? My sour plum juice not only quenches my thirst, but also appetizes! Try it! The vendor looked at Mo Jiuwu and worked hard to promote.
When Mo Jiuwu heard this, he didn't talk, but just got closer and smelled it, and a sour smell hit.
If in the past, Mo Jiuwu would have been hiding far away when she smelled this smell, but she didn't know why her stomach was much better when she smelled this now.
"Then give me two bowls!" Mo Jiuwu looked at Tang Chen and said to the vendor.
"Okay!" When the vendor heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately prepared two bowls for Mo Jiu.
Mo Jiuwu sat down on the chair prepared on the side and waited...... Sour plum juice.
Tang Chen sat opposite her, looking at her impatient, the corners of his mouth raised.
"Guest officer, your sour plum juice is here!" At this time, the vendor also served sour plum juice.
"Wow......"
Looking at the bowl of sour plum juice in front of him, Mo Jiuwu changed his previous retching, but his appetite was greatly improved, and he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl.
"Slow down!" Tang Chen looked at Mo Jiuwu's hurried appearance and opened his mouth to instruct.
"Hmm...... Delicious! Mo Jiuwu was speechless at this time, and could only sigh.
When Tang Chen heard this, he looked at the bowl of sour plum juice in front of him, took a sip and drank it gently, and suddenly, his brows immediately furrowed.
It's so sour...... Tang Chen sighed in his heart.
But looking at Mo Jiuwu's large piece of food, Tang Chen did not hesitate at all, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Just as the two of them were sitting under the pergola drinking sour plum juice, a woman's voice suddenly sounded on the side of the road.
"Help, help!"
At this moment, the side suddenly remembered the woman's hurried voice, Mo Jiuwu heard the news and looked, and saw several strong men surrounding a woman, the woman looked at the person in front of her with a frightened face, and could only keep calling.
"What's the situation?" Mo Jiuwu raised her head and looked over there.
And Tang Chen looked at the group of strong men surrounding the woman, and was about to get up, but was stopped by Mo Jiuwu.
"Brother Tang, wait first!" Mo Jiuwu shouted.
“?” When Tang Chen heard this, he looked at her with some doubts.
"The development of this kind of event is very simple, there will definitely be a good show to watch later, don't go for the time being!" Mo Jiuwu explained.
Although Tang Chen didn't know what Mo Jiuwu was planning, he also sat down obediently.
Things got worse and worse, and seeing that the woman was about to be taken away by those strong men, at this moment, a well-dressed man stood up.
"Stop!" The man looked at a few strong men and said coldly.
"Who are you? Don't make trouble! Get lost! Several strong men looked at the man and said disdainfully.
"Bold!"
A man dressed as a guard beside the man heard this and scolded.
"......" Several strong men looked at the man in front of him dressed up, and he didn't seem to be an ordinary person, and his tone was a little respectful.
"Childe, this girl's father has already sold her to me Zuiyulou, as the saying goes, it is natural to repay debts, this is ...... You say yes! ”
Hearing this, the man's eyes swept over several strong men, and finally landed on the woman's body.
“…… So, how much does she owe you? I'll come out. The man pondered for a moment and spoke.
Hearing this, several strong men glanced at each other, as if they were discussing.
"Well, her father owes us a total of one hundred taels of silver, as long as you pay it off, then we will naturally not be embarrassed." One of the strong men said.
"One hundred taels." When the man heard this, he said.
"That's right!"
"Okay, just one hundred taels!" The man did not hesitate, answered in one mouth, and signaled to the guards beside him, and the guards stepped forward clearly, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and handed it to the strong man.
The strong man took the silver ticket, looked at it carefully, and accepted it when it was confirmed.
"Well, in that case, withdraw!" The strong man said to the rest of the strong men, and then left.
Looking at the strong man leaving, the man sighed.
"Thank you, Childe!" As soon as she was released, the woman knelt in front of the man and thanked him vigorously.
"Girls don't have to be like that." The man waved his hand.
And Mo Jiuwu, who watched the whole process at the booth next to him, couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Mo Jiuwu's unscrupulous appearance, Tang Chen smiled helplessly, "How do you know that someone will come out?" ”
"I don't know!" Mo Jiuwu waved his hand.
“?”
Tang Chen was stunned when he heard Mo Jiuwu's answer.
"I don't know, but isn't this kind of heroic rescue of beauty common? The plot ...... I'm already out of my voice. Mo Jiuwu said, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Seeing Mo Jiuwu laughing unscrupulously like a child, the corners of Tang Xin's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of Mo Jiuwu's figure.
And the movement on Mo Jiuwu's side also attracted the man on the side, and the man looked over when he heard the sound and looked at Mo Jiuwu directly.
As if noticing that the man was looking at him, Mo Jiuwu immediately put away his smile and had a straight face.
Not knowing what the man said to the woman, the woman nodded and left.
The man looked at the woman who left, and looked back in the direction where Mo Jiuwu was, but saw that there was no one in the stall just now, and Mo Jiuwu didn't know when she left.
Looking at the vacant seat, the man was thoughtful.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" The guard on the side looked at the man with a pensive face and asked.
"Did you see the woman sitting there just now?"
"Women's ...... Well, there seems to be one, what's wrong? The guard nodded.
"Like...... It's familiar, it seems to have been seen somewhere! The man mused.
"Alright, let's go!" The man reined in for a moment, said, and then took the lead in leaving.
On the other side, Mo Jiuwu and Tomson left that place and ran all the way to another place.
"Hoo ......"
Mo Jiuwu took a deep breath and leaned against the wall next to him a little breathlessly.
"You!" Tang Chen looked at Mo Jiuwu, his tone full of helplessness.
"Luckily we ran fast!" Mo Jiuwu said with emotion.
When Tang Chen heard this, he rubbed her head helplessly, "Where do you want to go now?" ”
"Hmm...... I don't play anymore and want to go back! Mo Jiuwu said with a tired face.
"Alright, let's go back!" Tang Chen said.
Then the two of them went in the direction of the restaurant, and not far behind the two of them, a few people sneakily followed.
And watching Mo Jiuwu and Tang Chen leave, those people immediately turned around and left.
Then in a room, the few people who had followed Mo Jiuwu quietly entered the room just now, and in the room, many people gathered.
"Big brother, the man is back!" Seeing the people come back, one of them said to a strong man with a full beard.
"Big brother." The men came to the strong man and shouted.
"I'm back, what's the catch!" The strong man asked.
"Big brother, we just saw a woman on the street." One of the people said.
"What's so strange about seeing a woman." The strong man was dissatisfied.
"Big brother, that woman is extremely good-looking, even the top brand of Drunken Jade Building can't be compared."
"Oh......" The strong man seemed to be a little interested when he heard this. Go on. ”
"But the woman was followed by a man, and she didn't look like a mess." The man continued.
Listening to the conversation of this group of people, it is not difficult to see that this group of people is commonly known as human traffickers, who specialize in abducting women and then selling them to some Qinglou to make money.
