Zhao Pei stood in place in a daze for a long time, and only then came back to his senses slightly, the little girl's words were like thunder on the flat ground exploding in his ears, which made him dizzy and his ears buzzed.

At this moment, the lid above the cellar was opened from the outside, and a beam of soft light shot down the open cellar opening, and the mottled light and shadow spilled on the ground, inexplicably revealing a bit of broken beauty.

Zhao Pei noticed that in the cellar, a flash of brilliance rose in the eyes of the child who had a wilted expression, and everyone began to wait for it, posing as if they were going to go to the battlefield.

A simple ladder made of ropes was lowered from above, and a thin man climbed slowly down the rope, spitting out curses as he crawled, without stopping for a moment.

It seems that he is extremely dissatisfied and has suffered great injustice.

An idea flashed from Zhao Pei's mind in an instant, causing his eyes to darken slightly.

At the same time, the swearing figure jumped to the bottom of the cellar, and when it was still on its feet, it angrily threw the two barrels it was carrying to the ground. One of them was filled with rice soup, and under this rough treatment, the soup suddenly overflowed the edge of the barrel.

The man's eyes swept over the children in the cellar with disgust, "Hurry up and eat, after eating, you can leave with the bucket!" ”

The tone was full of impatience, his name was Wang Er, and he was the lowest existence in this gang of human traffickers, belonging to the kind of people who had few interests, but what he did was the hardest and most tiring work.

After hearing Wang Er's words, all the children immediately rushed over, like arrows off the string, shooting out of the ground with a "whoosh".

And Zhao Pei never moved, he opened his eyes and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

Standing in the distance and looking at the ugly appearance of the child, Wang Er has a sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and from a distance, he looks like a thin monkey, giving people a sense of bitterness.

There was a heavy dark circle under his eyes, perhaps because of the reversal of his schedule, and he couldn't stop yawning at the moment.

And the wooden barrel at his feet seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, revealing dirty black stains, and even the porridge water that overflowed from it dried up on it, revealing black marks one after another.

Zhao Pei couldn't help but roll in his stomach, wanting to vomit, but he couldn't vomit. The stomach was empty, and the stomach that was originally screaming hungry suddenly became full under the stimulation of this scene.

But the next scene made Zhao Pei feel even more surprised and disgusted.

The child who rushed to the barrel took out the porcelain bowl from the wooden barrel on the left, and put his black hand directly into the still warm porridge water.

After struggling to fill a small half bowl of rice grains from the bottom of the barrel, he was satisfied with the bowl and hid in the corner and drank it deliciously, leaving only a faint black stain in the porridge bucket.

As if nothing was wrong, the other children served porridge from the bucket one by one.

The porridge water was dyed a lot blacker, but it still did not prevent it from being served and eaten by later children.

Even the little girl who had told Zhao Pei everything before, who seemed to be weak and weak, burst out with amazing courage at this moment, and snatched a few grains of rice from the barrel.

She carefully held the porridge bowl and sat down in the corner to taste it, as if she had found a treasure. Love 999

After all, there are few grains of rice in the porridge bucket, except for the first person who can have more, the children in the back can't see a few grains at all. Even some people with slow hands have not even grabbed porridge water, so they can only go hungry.

Zhao Pei couldn't hold back anymore and spit out the sour water all over the ground. Even when he was having a hard time with Zhao Wu, Zhao Pei had never experienced such a life, which was simply treating people as animals.

The children quickly drank the porridge one by one, and then obediently put the porridge bowl back. They seemed to be starving, and each of their bowls were as clean as if they had just been cleaned.

As for whether he was full or not, it was not within Wang Er's consideration, and after he packed up his things, he went directly to the barrel.

The wooden ladder was closed, the lid of the cellar was closed, and the world was dead again.

Zhao Pei observed secretly for three days, and after thoroughly understanding Wang Er's position among this group of traffickers, he slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes flashed with light.

On a certain occasion, when Wang Er came to deliver food again, Zhao Pei took off the jade pendant on his waist and walked in front of Wang Er, looking pretended to be well-behaved.

"Uncle, you have come to bring us food during this time, this is our family's ancestral jade pendant, you can drink it as an exchange for wine."

Wang Erhu glanced at Zhao Pei suspiciously, but the child's expression was too deceptive, and the color of the jade pendant was really good, after a slight hesitation, he quickly raised his hand and snatched the jade pendant in Zhao Pei's hand.

He touched it with the tips of his fingers, and his hand was delicate and cool, although he didn't understand jade, he also knew that it was a good thing.

Thinking of this, Wang Er also showed a rare smile to Zhao Pei, "Good boy, uncle will not treat you badly in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Pei just laughed, so much so that Wang Er didn't notice a flash of mockery in his eyes.

After Wang Er went out, Zhao Pei no longer hid the joy in his heart. All this is just a plan of Zhao Pei.

He was trapped here now, and there was no news at all, so he had to take advantage of Wang Er's greed and let him take away his jade pendant. Then Zhao Wu and Shen Lanyue, who had been looking for him, would find out sooner or later, and then they would have a direction and come to rescue him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhao Pei's face deepened a little.

And Wang Er, after coming out of the cellar, couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and went directly to the pawnshop with Zhao Pei's jade pendant, and after shopping around, he chose the shop with the highest price.

As soon as he left, Shen Lanyue and Zhao Wu, who thought of Zhao Pei, walked into the pawnshop, ready to use the portrait drawn in their hands to ask the store if they had received such a jade pendant.

As soon as the two entered, what they saw was that the shopkeeper was playing with Zhao Pei's jade pendant, and there was a hint of love in his eyes.

Shen Lanyue's eyes were sharp, and she noticed it at first sight, and hurriedly rushed to the counter of the store, and snatched the jade pendant from the store's hand, "Where did you get this jade pendant from?" ”

The voice was too excited, a little broken, and the forbearance expression on his face startled the store even more.

"It's the man who just passed by when you two came in." The shopkeeper stammered this statement.
