Over time, the night market on West Street flourished, because it was sold cheaply and tasted good, and some scholars who read late also liked to patronize it, and its reputation went out.

The three of them changed their outfits, the scholar brought two scholars, and Manqing originally wanted to dress up short, but Ah Yuan said that Xingcheng has some acquaintances, if anyone recognizes her with sharp eyes, it will be very shameless to dress short.

Yes, this is a hierarchical society, she can wear men's clothes, but she can't pretend to be a slave, so she had to find a Confucian shirt, and as soon as she changed it, she was praised by the two, and she screamed one by one.

There is also an advantage of the small courtyard, that is, there is a small door dedicated to the outside world, and you don't have to go through the front desk to enter and exit, although it is also worth it.

It's not close to West Street, but this little road is nothing to them, the shops on both sides are closed, and there are only dim lanterns left in front of the door, maybe it has just rained, and the stone road is still a little slippery.

"It's going to be winter, girl, life flies so fast." Ah Shuang sighed a little, the last time I came to Xingcheng, it was just autumn, and today's night wind was already a bit biting.

"Oh, you add a piece of clothing," Man Qing pulled out two small fur leather vests, which she still wore when she was dressed as a man.

"Young Master, aren't you cold? This jacket is very thin. Manqing shook her head, she herself felt strange, her palms were hot at this time, and she didn't feel cold at all.

She hasn't eaten anything special in the past two days, is it because of the reason for practicing qi into the body? didn't wait for her to think about it, only to feel a fragrance coming, and when she looked up, West Street had arrived.

"Young master, there's your favorite wonton over there, shredded chicken." Yes, the shredded chicken wontons are my favorite.

They sat on the wonton stall, Ah Yuan couldn't bear it, and wanted to eat something else, Manqing also felt that it was monotonous to eat only wontons, so Ah Shuang was left alone to guard the table, she saw at a glance that oil cakes were being sold next door, and hurriedly called ten, if she couldn't eat it, she could give it to the girl to take it,

After a while, the two of them had several large bags in their hands,

"Come on, taste this glutinous rice, fragrant and sweet."

"This meatloaf is delicious, you can eat one." It didn't take long for the three of them to fill their stomachs, and Man Qing took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to it, and collected all the excess food, and there was dinner tomorrow morning.

After eating and drinking, they walked back slowly, and as soon as they reached the corner of the street, they heard a cry from the corner, which sounded like a child.

"Young master, don't go, get something to eat, I'll take a look." Ma Yuan stopped her, and there was a child in the corner, dirty, crying.

"Hey, why are you crying? Separated from home? Still hungry? ”

"Woo, I'm so hungry, I'm so cold, woo," it turned out to be hungry and cold, this is easy to do, Ah Yuan handed him the bun in his hand, and took off his shoulders,

But the child who was still shouting hungry just now didn't eat the bun, he just watched with his eyes, and he didn't even put the clothes handed to him on his body, he made a serious salute, and ran to the back alley with the clothes and buns.

Ah Yuan was a little unhappy, and Man Qing glanced at Ah Shuang, and the little girl chased after her.

"Young Master? Why are you chasing him? ”

"Don't you see anything wrong? Eighty percent of this child was controlled, and his etiquette was only paid attention to by the big families in Beijing, I suspect that there is a trafficking gang inside, this child should have been taken captive from the capital, Ah Shuang is back, let's go and see.

"I went into a large courtyard, there were many people living in it, this child lived in the backyard, I just inquired, and said that there were two men in the backyard, a woman, with seven children, the youngest was a girl, the sister just now."

"It's already so dark, the child is crying outside, he must not be allowed to go back until he has food, let's go, let's go and see."

On such a cold day, if it is a biological parent, how can they be willing to let their children come out to be frozen, not to mention, they are still hungry.

The three of them entered the courtyard, and Man Qing didn't hide it, just said that he saw a child just now and was pitiful, and wanted to go to his house to see.

"Young man, don't go, that family is unreasonable, they are not good people, they are very fierce, and they sold two children before!"

"Is it their own? How can they have so many children? ”

"Alas, in this world, what is it to kiss or not?"

Man Qing doesn't want to say more, these people really don't know, these children are stolen? But for the sake of self-preservation, they are not willing to meddle.

Ah Yuan was already guarding the small door, and as soon as the three of them entered, a big man rushed over.

"Who are you? Dare to trespass into a private house? ”

"What if Young Master Ben broke in? Go tell the officer," the man shouted inwardly, and although he waved his stick in his hand, he didn't dare to draw it down.

Ah Yuan took two steps forward, directly got off his stick, turned over and threw the person to the ground, and a scream like killing a pig sounded, I really couldn't help but fight.

"Murder, come quickly, robbers in the house," said a woman who rushed out of the inner room, and although she howled loudly, she did not dare to come to them, but howled at the door.

"Shut up! Ah Shuang," Ah Shuang took a few steps up and directly clicked on her dumb hole, Ah Shuang rushed to the back room, there were only a few children inside, and he shrank into a ball in fright.

"Don't be afraid, are they relatives? If not, my young master can save you. When the children heard this, they gradually stopped their voices, and the one who was holding the bun just now immediately ran out.

"Big brother, are you telling the truth? We were all stolen, and my home is in the capital. "The master is amazing, it's really accurate to see people, and Ah Yuan's admiration for her has another layer.

"My family is also from the capital, from Fang County, big brother, I miss my mother." As soon as he said that he missed his mother, several children cried again, and Ah Yuan was anxious.

"Don't cry, you know where another man went?"

He was all dazed, and there was a lot of noise outside, and the woman's howl just now attracted many neighbors.

"Who are you? What do you want to do in our yard? the guys, don't let them run. The voice was high-pitched, and the children's faces showed fear,

"Is that him?" At this time, the group nodded, and Ah Yuan rushed out with a few steps, only to see a middle-aged man rolling up his sleeves.

didn't wait for him to shout again, he went directly over and grabbed his collar, and threw him and the man before him together with a flick of his hand, Ah Yuan also moved his hands and feet, otherwise, why can't the first one get up now?

This time, even the woman didn't dare to say anything more, so Man Qing asked unhurriedly:

"Where did those kids come from? You tell me honestly,"

She looked at the neighbors who rushed over, "You're still excited, these are human traffickers!" You should be counted as a non-report, right? ”
