Ji Yueqin limped behind the man, Xiaoyu looked at the man vigilantly, the man walked in front confidently, and he was not afraid of them running away if he was unhappy. Because of the blood blisters on Ji Yueqin's feet, Ji Yueqin didn't think about escaping at all. Since he couldn't escape, he could only follow the man back. Xiao Yu's heart was full of apprehension, she didn't know why this man wanted to take them, but she didn't look at him like a bad person, despite the threats he had threatened her.

Walking in Jinshui City at night, I only heard the sound of beating in the distance, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle." Except for the three of them, the few pedestrians on the road just hurried in the direction of their homes. The wind whipped up the fallen leaves on the ground and made a soft sound, it was autumn.

Ji Yueqin and Xiao Yu walked on this bleak road in coarse linen clothes, shrunk for a moment, and a layer of fine beads of sweat rose on their foreheads because of the pain. But the man didn't look at Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu much, and still walked unhurriedly in front. Ji Yueqin gritted her teeth and followed the man behind, while Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin worriedly.

After a while, the man finally stopped at the door of a small house, pushed open the door, and walked straight in. Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu stopped at the door, as if they were hesitating to follow the man in. When the man turned around and saw that they were not coming in, he said, "Come in quickly." ”

Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu glanced at each other and decided to go in. The house was small, and there was no one in it. The man went into the back room and lit the candle, poured a cup of tea and drank it alone. Then he told them to sit down and wait for him. The two of them sat down quietly, Xiaoyu poured two cups of tea, and Ji Yueqin saw that the man had also drunk the tea in this pot before, so he was relieved to drink it.

The man left the back room, and Ji Yueqin began to look inside the room. The interior of the house is very simple, there are no vases or other decorative objects, as if it is just a temporary residence, perhaps this is simply a place for abduction and trafficking of children and women. Ji Yueqin began to be vigilant as soon as she thought about it, and whispered to Xiaoyu: "This place may be a place where women and children are abducted, we must be careful." ”

Xiao Yu listened and nodded. Ji Yueqin clenched Xiaoyu's hand and signaled Xiaoyu not to be afraid. Xiao Yu looked at Ji Yueqin's firm eyes, as if full of strength. After sitting for about a stick of incense, the man came back and threw the packed roast chicken and buns on the table.

When Xiao Yu and Ji Yueqin smelled the aroma of roast chicken, their stomachs began to crow again, but the two of them didn't glance at the roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves on the table. Seeing this, the man just smiled and said, "It's not poisonous." Eat it. You're hungry. ”

Ji Yueqin just looked at the man, but Xiao Yu's eyes looked at the roast chicken in the lotus leaf. Seeing that Ji Yueqin was still indifferent, the man also admired Ji Yueqin's endurance with his indomitable spirit, so he stepped forward and pulled a piece of roast chicken to eat.

Xiao Yu's eyes looked at the roast chicken, and after seeing the man eat it, he looked at Ji Yueqin. Ji Yueqin saw that the man ate the roast chicken, and she was still relieved, but looking at Xiaoyu's eager eyes, she touched her hungry stomach and nodded. Xiao Yu happily pulled a piece of chicken leg to Ji Yueqin, Ji Yueqin's heart warmed, Xiao Yu was really good to herself. Xiaoyu immediately pulled a piece of roast chicken and ate it in a big gulp, and Ji Yueqin was the county lord after all, so she slowly tore off the chicken and put it in her mouth.

When they were full of wine and food, everyone began to fall silent again. Xiao Yu looked at this awkward and somewhat cold atmosphere, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Hey, human trafficker, where are you going to sell us?" "The little fish looked like a broken jar at this time.

When Ji Yueqin heard Xiaoyu say this, she thought to herself that Xiaoyu was bad, so what if this man killed someone. She lowered her face to look at Xiao Yu and shouted, "Xiao Yu! ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the man in panic. When the man heard Xiaoyu say that he was a human trafficker, he was also angry and said, "I'm not a human trafficker. ”

Xiao Yu looked at the man in surprise and said, "Then why are you catching us!" We're just two little girls, and we don't have any money! Xiao Yu wondered if it was a man who wanted to get rich, after all, they took out the best hosta when they were in Jubaozhuang before.

Ji Yueqin lowered her head and pondered, but she didn't stop Xiao Yu from asking the man.

The man rolled his eyes and stared at Xiaoyu: "Then you are just two little girls, could it be that the hairpin was really stolen from somewhere?" There seemed to be some imperceptible coldness in his tone.

Xiao Yu stared at the man with wide eyes, and couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only point at him and say, "You...... You are talking nonsense! ”

The man no longer paid attention to Xiaoyu, but turned his head to look at Ji Yueqin, who was silent with his head down. Ji Yueqin felt the man's eyes staring at him burningly, so he raised his head and said to him lightly: "This son, my sister and I are in trouble here, so we have to pawn our hairpins." ”

The man didn't say anything, just quietly judging how true or false Ji Yueqin's words were. After a moment of silence, the man broke the situation and said, "So, where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?" ”

Ji Yueqin's heart sank, thinking that the man must have inadvertently discovered the jade pendant on his waist, so the man would target the two of them. Ji Yueqin stared at the man, and said a little more vigilantly in her heart: "The son said that he laughed, how can the little woman have any jade pendant." Ji Yueqin was afraid that the man would have the intention of killing people and grabbing treasures, and said: "The only hosta on my body has fallen in Jubaozhuang, if the son wants money, go to Jubaozhuang to get the hosta back." ”

The man's eyes became colder and colder, he pinched Ji Yueqin's neck with his hand, and reached into Ji Yueqin's waist with the other hand. Seeing this, Xiaoyu rushed over and bit the man's arm hard. The man's bitten arm was already oozing blood, and he shook the fish away with pain. Xiao Yu couldn't withstand the man's strength, so he sat on the ground and shouted, "You let go of Sister Qin!" ”

The man sneered but ignored Xiao Yu, but Ji Yueqin's face turned red because he couldn't breathe air, and the man let go of Ji Yueqin after getting the jade pendant. Ji Yueqin breathed heavily after being let go, but coughed because of the shortness of breath. Xiao Yu got up from the ground and walked to Ji Yueqin's side, looking at the man with angry eyes.

The man got a jade pendant and stroked it gently, with a hint of respect and nostalgia in his eyes. But at this moment, there was no other sound in the room except for Ji Yueqin's cough. The atmosphere was deadlocked, and the man didn't look at Ji Yueqin.

Until Ji Yueqin stopped coughing, the man also came back to his senses, he looked at Ji Yueqin coldly and asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant?" His words revealed an irresistible aura, as if as long as Ji Yueqin told a lie, Ji Yueqin's body would be broken into ten thousand pieces.

Ji Yueqin didn't answer the man's question, but she also said in a cold tone: "Your Excellency just wants money for this jade pendant, as long as you return the jade pendant to me, you will definitely be rewarded in the future." Ji Yueqin didn't know the origin of this jade pendant, she just wanted to protect what her mother left her at the end.

The man laughed when he heard Ji Yueqin's reply: "Thick report? What did the girl repay me? The man put the jade pendant on the table and said to Ji Yueqin with burning eyes.

Ji Yueqin watched the man's actions, but she didn't look at the jade pendant, still staring at the man quietly. The man looked at Ji Yueqin condescendingly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "The girl needs to pawn to make ends meet, what will she reward me?" ”

When Xiao Yu saw that the man had put the jade pendant on the table, she thought carefully. She found that the man's eyes were not on her at all, so she was ready to quickly snatch the jade pendant back and break the net with the man. In fact, what she didn't know was that the man's eyes were actually staring at Xiaoyu, wanting to see what they wanted to do next.

As soon as Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, the man unconsciously pinched the jade pendant in his hand again, and then said with a sneer: "I don't think I can do it." ”

Xiaoyu was angry: "You ......" was anxiously shouted by the man who said this: "You quickly return the jade pendant to Sister Qin!" ”

The man held the jade pendant, but he didn't look at Xiaoyu: "If you tell the truth, I'll give her back the jade pendant." ”

Ji Yueqin listened to the man's words, her eyes showed a faint mockery, she knew that she couldn't tell this man the truth, if she told the man, I was afraid that this man would hand herself over. So a sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she stared at the man and said, "You want to hear the truth, don't you?" Then the origin of this jade pendant is ————" Ji Yueqin dragged a long tail note, but did not continue.

The man's heart hung like this, waiting for Ji Yueqin's next sentence. But after a while, I still didn't hear Ji Yueqin continue. The man's patience had been worn out by Ji Yueqin, so he urged her to say, "Tell me quickly, where did you get the jade pendant!" ”

Ji Yueqin looked at him with a sneer and said, "No comment!" ”

The man's patience had been worn out by Ji Yueqin, and when he was provoked by Ji Yueqin like this, he already had murderous intentions, so he grabbed Ji Yueqin's neck with his hand.
