Chapter Seventy-Six: The Aftermath
After a bowl of noodles, Mrs. Shen wanted to scold her mother-in-law to go to Lin's house to report the news, but was stopped by Wen Wan: "A group of traffickers haven't caught it yet, it's not too late to go back when this is over." If I go back in a hurry, I am afraid that my family will be affected, and I hope that my aunt will let me sit for a few more hours. ”
Shopkeeper Shen nodded, deeply convinced.
Mrs. Shen had to sigh and turn her head and instruct the maid: "Boil a pot of hot water for Mrs. Lin and then get clean clothes, and if it is still early, take her to the guest room to squint for a while." ”
Wen Wan hurriedly got up and bowed to her again.
Mrs. Shen hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, and said with a smile: "You kid, what are you always doing so politely?" I haven't thanked you for the clothes, shoes, socks, and bacon you gave me. ”
There is no good thing in the world for no reason, but it is just a peach to be reciprocated, and people's hearts are exchanged for people's hearts.
When the sun was setting in the west, Yan Qiu returned sweating profusely. After bowing to the shopkeeper Shen and his wife, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "As soon as I reported to the official, the yamen sent the official to the inn to get people, and after looking for a long time, I didn't find the two mothers-in-law that Lin Niangzi said. ”
Speaking of this, he scratched his head, and a smile appeared on his delicate face: "I thought that the trafficker had run away early, but I didn't think that the two scoundrels that Lin Niangzi was looking for were also traffickers!" ”
Shopkeeper Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at each other, but Yan Qiu continued: "When the officials were looking for them in the broken temple, those two pranksters had already been played and abused by people and sold to the old men in the same village!" I saw that the official was going to go to the mountain village to get people, so I didn't follow him, and rushed back to report the news. ”
Mrs. Shen folded her palms and recited the Buddha again, and the straight path was clear, and the retribution was unpleasant.
Wen Wan had already gotten up at this time, and when she heard the maid say that Yanqiu had returned, she hurriedly came to the hall: "Can the people in the farmhouse catch it?" ”
When Mrs. Shen beckoned her to sit aside, Yan Qiu said, "Catch it, none of them ran!" As I was leaving, I heard the officials say that the yamen would be severely interrogated tonight. If it's really a human trafficker, the autumn will be cut off! ”
Wen Wan nodded, and asked him again: "Can the four who followed me at the back door hold on?" ”
Yan Qiu shook his head: "No, no one was found at the back door, and there was no one else." It's like the world is evaporating, clean and clean. ”
Wen Wan lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she figured out that something might have happened to those people, who ran away or died. If she lived, she would either be stared at at the back door, or she would have gone back to the farmhouse to report it.
Seeing that she was silent in thought, the shopkeeper Shen said to her after a little silence: "You first let me stay here for a day to accompany your aunt, and if nothing happens tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you back." As for your family, let them wait another day! ”
If you don't wait, you can't do anything, if you are accidentally touched back to your home by human traffickers, will a room full of old and young people still want to live?
Wen Wan nodded in response, and helped Mrs. Shen to eat and rest.
Because it is a state city, the efficiency of the government is quite high, at least before dark, I found the two mothers-in-law who were sold by Wen Wan.
At this time, the two mothers-in-law were in disheveled clothes, lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, crying and crying. Ruthless, that little girl is really ruthless! When the needle is pricked in their own body, they know that it hurts! Where is this abducted and trafficked? I can't even die!
They never imagined that one day they would not only not avoid the servants like snakes and scorpions, but would also be as grateful as they were to see their parents, and they were very surprised. The two mothers-in-law hurriedly crawled over, hanging dead on the trouser legs of the two servants and wailing.
When the officials saw these two mothers-in-law who were beaten half to death and had their legs broken, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes. It's the first time I've seen a trafficker make this for himself! What a strange news in the world!
"Ah...... Ahhhh......h Ahhh......h
The thin woman also lay on one side and hated the yellow earth, whimpering with her bloody mouth open: What kind of aunt? What humiliated concubine? What dozen sisters? They will believe her nonsense because they are blinded by lard!
The officials looked at each other as if watching a farce, and after a while, they shook their heads helplessly and dragged people away like dead pigs. The old man who spent a lot of money in front of the broken thatched house only picked up the hoe and refused to stalk his neck, and the officials showed their knives one after another before shrinking their necks in fear.
It's just that the people don't fight with the officials, but he has to find those two descendants who collect his money to make trouble!
Early the next morning, Wen Wan, who returned to the Lin family's courtyard again, was like a world away. She gently pushed open the courtyard door, and only Mrs. Song walked around with a twist and turn in the courtyard.
Wen Wan stood at the door with red eyes, and she didn't move. The fat woman with a smiling face and a happy face all day long, but how can she be so old and stiff for three days?
"Mama," she called softly.
Mrs. Song seemed to be frozen, and after a while, she slowly returned to tears like rain: "Wan Niang, you can count it back!" ”
Rao is gentle biting her lip for a long time and couldn't hold back her sadness: "Well, it's back!" How is it at home? ”
Mrs. Song couldn't help but raise her rough hand full of thick calluses, roughly wiped her eyes, and touched her hair again, muttering, "How much suffering has this suffered?" Thin, also dark! ”
Seeing Wen Wan looking at her with a smile, she wiped her tears as if her hands had been burned and said, "The old woman is overstepping, don't blame Madame." ”
Wen Wan smiled and hugged her hand over the bend, seeing that she was also deflated with tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the cheek: "I miss my mother." ”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made the person in her arms flood a lot, and she cried for a long time. If her mother doesn't come back, not only her father, but her eldest brother and second brother will also have to go to half their lives!
Seeing that she couldn't stop crying, and hiccups all the time, Wen Wan smiled: "Nursing little man, do you still understand?" Even if you can understand it, you have to keep a low profile, and be careful that others will catch you as a monster. ”
Lin Wanwan shuddered, tears filled his eyelashes and he didn't dare to cry. When is this time, this person is still scaring her! Too bad, isn't it?
I fed Wanwan a lot, and coaxed Wanwan to sleep for a long time, and Wen Wancai sat on the low stool in the stove room and added firewood to gossip with Mrs. Song.
"Since the day you disappeared, the lord has been looking for you like crazy, and if you can't find it, you go to the gate of the state government and guard without drinking or drinking. Just wait for the official to take the human trafficker, so that he can follow you to find you. In the past few days, the traffickers in the state capital and several neighboring counties have been arrested! Mrs. Song put the clean old hen into the clay pot, adding water while turning back to her.
Wen Wan didn't speak for a long time, she already knew what his temperament was.
Mrs. Song only sighed and said, "I only came back to take a look last night, and I knew that you didn't come back, but only poured a few sips of wine and left in a hurry." After three days, he changed his appearance, and he was very haggard! ”
The cold eyes without the slightest trace of popularity, don't say that she, even the eldest Lang Erlang in the family is very afraid when he sees it.
Wen Wan nodded and was just about to speak, when there was a "squeak", the courtyard door was pushed open, and she returned to the two little people she was thinking about.
