Chapter 24 The Hidden Dragon is in the Abyss
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it seemed like a rainstorm was coming. The streets were scattered with pedestrians hurrying along, and the wind howled across the already cold long streets, rolling up leaves.
There was a dead silence in the inn, and Chun'er knelt on the cold floor shivering, unable to cry. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the person in the seat in front of her, only to see a hem of her clothes hanging quietly.
Tang Huai was expressionless with the tea, his eyes drooped and motionless, as if he was wandering into the world, but his body seemed to be condensed with a black fog, depressed and heavy, which made people frightened, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
Dequan quietly looked at him uneasily, and did not dare to speak. He has served Tang Huai for many years, and he thinks he understands the temperament of the factory father, but now he has never seen such a look.
The princess suddenly disappeared, and she searched all over the city, but she was nowhere to be found. If something goes wrong, the emperor will be furious, and he will definitely be implicated, and the corpse will be ambushed for hundreds of miles.
I'm afraid I'm going to die...... De prays with all my heart, my little grandmother, that nothing will happen to you!
Otherwise, not to mention that the life of the slave has to be taken in, even the factory father has to be implicated.
In the silence, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and the door was opened.
A guard knelt on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, the spies have come to report that there was a grain truck that went out of the city overnight last night, and this morning it was found that the grain truck was hidden in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and his subordinates found this cloth." ”
Tang Huai took the handkerchief and saw the yellow duck crudely embroidered on it, and slowly clenched his fingers: "Find the person who transports the grain, stay alive." ”
"Yes."
……
Ye Anan sat on the straw mat with his knees crossed, forgetting about the dilapidated and mottled walls around him and wanted to cry without tears.
Fortunately, this old bustard still has a little conscience, and she is really not hungry.
On the other side of the firewood room, several girls curled up in a ball and sobbed.
Ye Anan was really impatient: "Don't cry, you've all been crying for three hours, aren't you tired?" Aren't you hungry?"
Wang Wanqing wiped her tears: "I just starve to death, and I won't do this!"
”
Ye Anan hit her mercilessly: "Do you think the girl in Hualou can do it if she wants to?" That's what you have to look like, and the top brand of Hualou is even more versatile and good at singing and dancing. ”
Wang Wanqing choked: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all? Did you really accept your fate? With your background, you are willing to become a woman in the Qinglou?"
"What can you do if you are unwilling? What do you do? Tell me about it?"
"I ......"
Wang Wanqing choked and was immediately deflated, "What can I do, anyway, I don't want to be ruined even if I die!"
"Good! Have a backbone! You see, isn't that a wall? If you bump into it, you'll be freed. ”
Wang Wanqing was angry when she heard her words: "You, why don't you have any sympathy at all!"
Ye Anan spread his hands: "Didn't I follow what you said." She pulled a straw and played with it in her hand, "If it really comes to a desperate situation, everyone will die together, even if I die, I can't lose myself, I have to pull a cushion on my back." You are not in a desperate situation, you are going to die, you have to live on your own, you have given up your life, but the person who harmed you is alive and well, thanks to it. ”
Wang Wanqing thought for a moment when she heard this: "You have a point, then what can you do?"
Ye Anan threw the straw and spread it with both hands: "What can I do, wait, I can get out sooner or later." ”
As soon as Wang Wanqing wanted to speak, she heard a cooing sound. She rubbed her belly, a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Ye Anan gave her the leftover steamed buns and water she had eaten before: "Oh, that's all." ”
"Thank you."
Wang Wanqing swallowed the steamed bun in two gulps, and the other girls looked at it and licked their lips.
"I, we haven't eaten for a long time, can you give us a little ......?"
Wang Wanqing paused, wanting to break the remaining steamed buns into a few petals, Ye Anan snatched the steamed buns away: "At the beginning, that kid over there was dying, and you didn't give saliva to drink, and you wanted to rob me of something." Now it's your turn to suffer, and you want someone to help you? Dreaming!"
"I, we're forced to do it. You see, for our sake of being hungry for so long, take pity on us, we're really hungry. ”
"Yes, yes, we have drunk all the little water left, and we haven't eaten for a long time, we all have to work together in the future, help each other in the future, good sister, you can forgive us." The other girl chimed in.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a good sister, and I don't practice forgiving and forgiving."
Ye Anan rolled his eyes and looked at Wang Wanqing: "My steamed bun is for you to eat, if you don't eat it, then return it to me." ”
"Ahem, ahem......"
The boy lying next to him suddenly coughed. Ye Anan squatted next to him, and fed him some water in line with the principle that since he spent money to save him once, he had to save him to the end, otherwise it would be too much of a loss. After seeing that he drank it, Ye Anan looked at him carefully.
The boy looked twelve or thirteen years old, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, his face was stained with mud, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but this did not hide his delicate features.
Ye Anan has always been greedy for beauty, she wanted to take out a handkerchief to dry his face, but found that her handkerchief was gone.
After thinking about it, he couldn't bear to wipe his sleeve with him, so he gave up and planned to let him continue to lie there. I just wanted to get up, but I found that my arm was being grabbed.
When she looked down, she saw a pair of clear and ignorant eyes.
What a pair of beautiful and clean eyes......
"Are you awake, are you feeling better?"
Ye An'an, who coveted beauty, squatted down extremely hypocritically, and gently wiped the mud and blood stains on his face with his sleeve.
What catches your eye is a delicate and clean face.
This face is really ...... It's so much in line with her aesthetic......
Ye Anan's eyes flashed with amazement.
"Ahem...... Thank you very much......"
The boy slowly got up and leaned against the wall, his voice full of confusion: "Where is this......"
"We've been sold to the kiln by human traffickers."
"Shhh......hh
"I heard that you had a bad temper and were beaten up by human traffickers. Why don't you remember?" Ye Anan was a little surprised.
The boy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little ashamedly: "I was a little distracted, but now I think about it." ”
Ye Anan propped his head: "Looking at your gentle appearance now, I really didn't expect you to resist the traffickers." I overheard that those traffickers used to do murder and overselling business, but fortunately they just beat you up and didn't lose your life. ”
The boy smiled weakly: "It's just a fluke, I still don't know the girl's name after talking for so long?"
"My surname is Ye, Ye An'an." Ye Anan casually said her previous name, she always has to prepare a fake name when she goes out, her previous name can just come in handy, and she is not afraid of being found by others.
"In the abyss."
"The hidden dragon is in the abyss? That's a good name. Ye Anan said with a smile.
"More compliments."
Neither of them knew what to say next, and the air was suddenly quiet and filled with an air of embarrassment.
Ye Anan patted his clothes and got up: "You're not well yet, let's rest first." ”
