"The unlucky ones who were caught like you." Gu Changning shrugged his shoulders and said, "The medicine hasn't been drunk yet, let's drink it quickly, there is only this one medicine, I hope you can drink it to reduce the fever quickly." ”

Ye Chaonian glanced at the black medicine bowl in her hand, her gaze froze for a moment, and there was no fear on her little face, quite a kind of tragedy of a strong man breaking his wrist: "I'll come by myself." ”

Gu Changning handed over the medicine, looked at him curiously and frowned and drank it in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

"My father said that a man stands up to the sky, and he is not afraid of bloodshed, and he is afraid of any hardship!" The immature little face showed a look that was not suitable for his age.

"Oh." Gu Changning nodded, took the bowl, poured some water into it, and handed it over again, "There is no more medicine, don't waste it, drink the rest." ”

Ye Chaonian pursed his lips and stared at the bowl in front of him, but he still drank it without saying a word.

"What's your name? How old are you? Gu Changning saw that he was not noisy or noisy, and he looked very calm, and couldn't help asking, "Where do you live?" ”

Some of the children who had been locked up with them just now did not cry or make a fuss, but they did not have the composure shown by the child in front of them.

"Ye Chaonian, six years old, my family lives in Jingshi." Ye Chaonian looked at her with dark pupils, and also asked rhetorically like an adult, "What about you?" ”

"Me? My name is Gu Changning, two years older than you, just call me Sister Changning. Ye Chaonian's pink carving is very cute, but maybe it is because of his illness, his face is a little pale, Gu Changning couldn't help but say softly when he saw it.

Ye Chaonian nodded at her, and when he heard Gu Changning ask him to call her sister, he was a little reluctant, and deliberately moved his eyes to Lin Junze, looked at him suspiciously, and didn't answer Gu Changning's words.

"Lin Junze." Lin Jun replied with a bow, and didn't say a word of superfluity.

When he heard him claim that his surname was Ye, Lin Jun knew that he had guessed correctly, and when he heard him say that he lived in Jingshi, it was completely correct with what he guessed, so he was even more certain.

Ye Chaonian also nodded at him, and then said a little strangely: "How long have you been arrested?" ”

"We were caught yesterday at noon, what about you?" Gu Changning said.

"I don't know......" Ye Chaonian lowered his head, "I've been arrested for many days, at first they locked me up with a few other people, and then for some reason they suddenly locked me up alone this morning." ”

It was only after he was confined to this room that he began to develop a high fever.

Locked up alone?

Gu Changning pondered for a moment and asked, "But is it because of what you did?" ”

"Nope."

Didn't do anything?

Gu Changning thought about it, thinking that she and Lin Jun were also inexplicably locked in this room, guessing that the other party might be going to make other moves, and his heart jumped suddenly.

I'm not afraid that they will make small movements, but I am afraid that they will not make any movements.

As long as there is action, there is a chance to escape.

"Your fever hasn't gone away yet, so let's lie down for a while." Gu Changning saw that he was still weak, thinking that he was still young and still sick, so he hurriedly persuaded.

Ye Chaonian lay down obediently, he was indeed a little uncomfortable.

After seeing him close his eyes, Gu Changning and Lin Jun sat on the side of the kang and talked in a low voice.

"Brother Lin, are they going to transport us away next?"

"It's possible."

Otherwise, they were locked up so well, why did they suddenly start picking people out?

This is to distinguish them, obviously to pick out eligible children and lock them up together, and then take them away together.

As for the key to this selection......

Lin Jun glanced at Gu Changning, who was soft-looking, and Ye Chaonian, who had delicate facial features, and then lowered his eyes and thought of himself, and had a slight guess in his heart.

In this group of children, those with poor appearance conditions are directly sent to others as slaves and maids, doing dirty work for a lifetime.

Those with better conditions will be sent/sent to some places where they make a living and carefully cultivated for a few years, and then sent out to earn money.

Lin Jun turned his mind here, frowning, and contemplating.

Gu Changning suddenly quieted down when he saw him, and his expression was solemn, as if he had discovered something.

She was about to speak when the door opened again, and three more men pushed in.

"Go in, go in." The person who pushed them was very rude, and after pushing the person, he locked the door and left it alone.

Ye Chaonian was asleep at the moment because he had just drunk the medicine, and he didn't know that there were three more people.

At this moment, Gu Changning and Lin Jun were the two of them, and the three of them who came in together looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

In silence, Gu Changning looked at them without a trace.

Of the three people who entered, two were girls and one was a boy.

A man and a woman among the three looked about the same age as Lin Junze, both of them were about ten years old, and the rest of the little girl was closer to Gu Changning's age.

The little girl has been snuggling up to the other girl and trusts her very much, and the two also look a little similar, Gu Changning guessed in his heart that the two should be sisters.

"Excuse me...... Can we sit here? The older girl pointed to the kang where Gu Changning was sitting and asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Gu Changning nodded.

The three of them immediately walked towards this side.

"What's wrong with him?" The little girl who followed closely behind her pointed to Ye Chaonian, who was asleep, and asked timidly.

"He's sick and he's resting."

The only boy among the three was also coming this way, and when he heard this, he immediately paused, glanced at Ye Chaonian with disgust, and muttered complainingly: "If you are sick, let him lie away, what if it is passed on to us?" ”

"Then you think, where to lie down so that you won't be transmitted?" When Gu Changning heard this, his expression became worse.

"Of course it is." The boy didn't seem to see Gu Changning's face that was gradually getting colder, and pointed to the farthest corner.

The place he was pointing to was an empty corner, with nothing, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash, and if a man was to lie in that place, he had to lie on the ground.

"Then you won't be passed on if you used to sit, so you might as well just stay in that corner." Gu Changning snorted coldly.

"How's that going to work! How can I lie there! The boy immediately glared and retorted, "I'm in charge of passing on the lineage, and that place should be where women sleep!" ”

"......" Gu Changning looked at him incredulously, speechless for a while.

This man is too arrogant!

Gu Changning inexplicably felt a little itchy on his hands.

After the three of them came in, Lin Jun was very silent all the time and didn't say a word.

At this time, after listening to the boy's words, he just glanced at him casually, and turned his gaze away with a faint expression, completely disdainful of it.

At a glance, he knew that the boy was spoiled by his family, full of only himself, unable to see others, and it would be a waste of words to tell him more, so he simply leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, pretending that there was no such person.

"He's just lying here, you like to sit or not, if you don't sit, go up there and stay by yourself!" Gu Changning's tone suddenly became cold, and he said angrily.

The boy stood there staring at each other as if he hadn't expected to be rejected.

He has been the most favored one in the family since he was a child, and his sisters and sisters don't let him, and he has developed the best temperament for granted.

Now that he was suddenly refuted, he couldn't react at all.

After coming back to his senses, seeing Gu Changning's ignorance, he glanced at Lin Junze, who was cold-eyed on the side, the boy was holding back his anger in his heart, thinking about it and thinking about it, and finally endured it, found a corner on the kang and sat down, and rolled his eyes at Gu Changning.

The older girl originally wanted to talk to Gu Changning and them, wanting to know more about the current situation.

As a result, the atmosphere made by this boy froze suddenly, and she couldn't continue to speak, so she could only sit in a corner with her sister in silence.

"Sister, I'm scared, I want to go home......" In the quiet room, the little girl who had been lying quietly beside her sister suddenly wiped her tears and whispered.

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to go home, we will definitely be able to leave here, don't worry." The elder sister of the sisters smiled and stroked the top of her sister's hair, and coaxed her softly.

"How can you escape, don't you see the men who captured us looking fierce and burly? Where are your opponents? The boy scoffed, "Don't think about going out, if you behave well, they probably won't embarrass you." ”

"Can you keep your mouth shut?" Gu Changning was upset when he heard what he said, but he felt that this person was very noisy, and he spoke out unceremoniously, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute, you should take care of yourself first, don't be crippled, go to the street to be a little flower child and make a living by begging, then you are useless no matter how well-behaved you are!" ”

"You!" The boy's face was blue and white, and he glared at Gu Changning with anger, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"Some dogs just can't spit out ivory in their mouths, don't worry about him, he likes to be a little flower child, just be a little flower child, we won't stop it." Gu Changning said to the two sisters with a smile.

The two sisters blinked, glanced at the angry boy, and then looked at Gu Changning with a smile on his face, nodded slightly hesitantly, and didn't dare to say anything.

……

After those people locked the two sisters and the arrogant-looking boy with Gu Changning and them, they didn't move, and the whole courtyard was quiet, as if there was no one.

The mountain breeze swept through the courtyard, and the leaves rustled brightly in the sunlight, leaving a mottled silhouette in the ground.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

The young man who had taken Gu Changning to pick herbs before was sitting on the stone steps outside the door in a daze, when he suddenly saw a figure walking in the distance.

When he saw someone, he first straightened his body in shock and looked at the person vigilantly, ready to report to the people inside at any time.

As a result, after seeing who the person who came, he was stunned and hurriedly greeted him.

"Old/two, what about them?" Without waiting for the young man to approach, Old Man He asked as he walked with a serious face.

"It's all in there."

"Well, let's get ready, get those kids on the boat before sunset!"
