Chapter 124: Nobleman

Soon, the "nobles" who came to pick people appeared.

Contrary to Xu Lan's expectations, these people didn't look gorgeous, but looked very ordinary.

They all had a critical look on their faces.

His eyes wandered back and forth at the faces of the children standing against the wall, as if they were really picking out goods.

The oldest and youngest children were quickly chosen.

The people who picked them up did not all stay, and after paying the money with one hand and "delivering" with the other, they left in a hurry through the back door.

The rest are half-grown children.

Among the remaining children, the clean-looking and good-looking ones were chosen.

Xu Lan's small face is round, her eyes are as bright as black grapes, and compared with other children, her clothes are shabby but they look relatively clean.

"That's it." The one who singled out Xu Lan was an old woman in her early fifties.

She was wearing plain clothes, but she couldn't help but have a hosta on her head, the smell of fat powder on her body was also very strong, and her face was smeared with obvious blush.

In addition to Xu Lan, she also carefully selected several girls over the age of ten.

When they were chosen, the Taoist boys blindfolded them with black cloths, tied their hands and feet with thick hemp rope thick as thick as their fingers, and threw them into the carriage one by one.

When she got to the car, Xu Lan deliberately moved slowly and slowly to the place close to the car door.

She waited quietly.

The rest of the girls were trembling, and some of them were timid and began to cry lowly.

After a while, Xu Lan smelled a smell of fat powder.

The old woman who bought the house got into the car.

She first counted the heads, and then continued: "You have been bought by me as maids, and in the future, it will be much better to eat and drink spicy food than to do farm work at home." ”

"Don't try to run away, we're going to do business in another county."

"You must be obedient when you go, the rest of the people in the building are not as good at talking as I am."

She rambled on and on.

Xu Lan also understood.

This man is a tooth woman.

She specializes in buying and selling little girls.

Collect a group of school-age girls from this green water temple and go back to adjust well

After teaching them to understand the rules and learn to serve others, they will be sold to different places according to their qualifications and appearance.

Those who are quick to sell their hands and feet to be maids, and those who are outstanding in appearance will be sold to the kiln.

The more Xu Lan listened, the more panicked she became.

If this man's words were true, they would all be taken far away.

When the time comes, if they are locked up for a few days without food or beaten up, they will definitely clean up and obey them, and they will no longer dare to run away.

No, I have to leave immediately.

Otherwise, when the carriage is far away, or the woman and her accomplices are connected, she will definitely have no chance to escape.

At this moment, the carriage came to a sharp stop.

"What are you doing?" Ya Pozi opened the curtain and asked.

"There are stones."

"What a useless thing!" The woman got out of the carriage and moved the stones with the coachman.

Golden opportunity!

Xu Lan was blindfolded at this time and couldn't see.

Hands and feet were also tied.

The tooth woman got out of the carriage so relieved.

Xu Lan stood up abruptly and jumped towards the door! She rolled down from the carriage all of a sudden, and the moment she landed, Xu Lan suddenly thought silently in her heart.

"I'm going to enter the space!"

"Boom!" With a bang, Xu Lan landed on the soft grass of the space.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

The other people in the car were blindfolded, and they couldn't see her, at most they could tell from the sound. But the tooth woman was in front of the carriage, and she couldn't see the scene of Xu Lan falling off the car.

As soon as Xu Lan fell out of the carriage, she immediately entered the space.

After the woman had finished moving the stones, she returned to the carriage, and even if she found that there were no people, there was no trace of her.

The best thing is that the road is not hidden, and there are often many horse-drawn carriages coming and going.

The tooth woman buys and sells little girls in the end, and it is a shady business.

She can't get too much attention.

At most, they will leave after looking for a while, and compared with Xu Lan, the rest of the little girls are worth better.

Xu Lan also took action after thinking about all this.

She lay quietly on the grass of the space, and only began to move after her body gradually regained her strength.

Xu Lan first kicked off the rope on her feet, and stumbled to the vicinity of the thatched hut listening to the sound. There were a lot of stones near the thatched house, and Xu Lan grabbed the stones and broke the thick rope that bound her hands little by little.

In the end, Xu Lan, whose hands were free again, untied the black cloth that was blindfolded and the rag that covered her mouth.

"Finally escaped." Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

She ran as fast as she could to the brook and gulped down her water.

Those black-hearted traffickers, in order to prevent them from escaping, did not even give them a sip of water, not to mention food.

Xu Lan secretly got some food, but she couldn't get the water out.

At this point, she was thirsty.

After drinking the water, she felt a lot more comfortable, and washed her face with cool stream water, which made Xu Lan feel refreshed.

"Damn human traffickers!" Xu Lan thought of what happened to her, and she was anxious and sad.

She had escaped, but what about those who had been locked up with her?

What will happen to them?

Xu Lan couldn't even think about it.

But where do you go next?

Xu Lan sighed and sat down abruptly.

She suddenly missed her mother, her brother Xu Dawa and Brother Liang...... But what if I go back to the village and be caught and sold by Xu Dahai again? Next time, Xu Lan may not have such good luck to escape.

But if she didn't go back to the village, Xu Lan would have nowhere to go.

Could it be that he secretly returned to the village, told the Zhang family all this, and then ran away with the Zhang family?

But the two of them, one big and one small, have no way to go, so where can they run the farthest......

She was frightened all night last night, and her whole body was tense to the extreme.

Now in her familiar environment, after Xu Lan relaxed, yesterday's exhaustion and fear came at her together, which made her fall asleep on the grass unconsciously.

The space was very quiet.

In addition to Xu Lan's breathing, there were occasional chirping of chickens from time to time.

Unconsciously, Xu Lan slept for several hours.

Suddenly, the surrounding light dimmed.

Xu Lan's figure disappeared in the space.

The next moment, on the dirty road, the figure of Xu Lan who was asleep appeared.

This is exactly where she disappeared before entering the space.

Fortunately, just as Xu Lan had predicted, Ya Pozi's carriage had already left.

But after a while, footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Someone came over.
