Chapter 57: Kidnapping
Chapter 57: Kidnapping
Gu Miao looked around, this cabin should be a room for tools, about a dozen square meters, and the shelves on all sides were full of various tools and parts.
A worn wooden table in the middle of the cabin was nailed to the floor to avoid being moved by bumps. Gu Miao was thrown in a corner of the cabin, and there was a large bundle of tall hemp rope beside her. In the opposite corner of the cabin, several small children were huddled together, trembling and snuggling up to each other, but a slightly larger boy caught his eye.
It was the only child who was not tied up with a rope, and he sat quietly on a small bench without saying a word, even when the traffickers brandished the iron rods to scare them, he didn't show the slightest fear, could it be the traffickers' children? Specifically to see them? Gu Miao couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
Either way, he was the only one who wasn't tied up, and she had to break free from the ropes if she wanted to escape, and now it seemed like he might be the only one who could help him. Gu Miao made up her mind and moved towards the little boy, not caring about the oily ground.
"Hey, hey, my hands are tied so badly, can you help me loosen them?" Gu Miao blinked and stared at the little boy with big eyes.
The little boy was staring at the tools in the room in a daze, and when he heard Gu Miao's voice, he didn't react much, walked to Gu Miao's side, didn't speak, and erected her so that she could lean on the hemp rope on the side, and then reached out and loosened the rope in her hand, but didn't help her untie it.
He got closer, Gu Miao saw the child's eyes, and couldn't help but be a little scared, this boy was only about seven or eight years old, his skin was dark, very strong, there were red marks left by cracks on his face, and his clothes were very dirty. The despair and indifference in her eyes always had a feeling of seeing through the world, but for the sake of her own freedom, she still mustered up the courage and asked, "Are you their child?" Why aren't you tied up? ”
The little boy shook his head: "My parents sold me to them, my parents don't want me anymore, I think they can buy me to a better place in the future, they won't cry or make trouble, they won't embarrass me when they see me obedient, and they won't tie me up." I can only help you loosen it, not untie it, or they will tie me up later. Don't make a fuss, instead of being sinned and being sold casually, it's better to get yourself a better result. ”
Gu Miao couldn't help but look at such a boy differently, when such a young child was crying and ignorant, it was really unusual for a little boy to be able to make such a trade-off, right? She had to admit that maybe sometimes she was not as good as this little child, and the little boy always did the best. Somewhat surprised, she simply stopped thinking of herself as an adult, but instead regarded herself as a child and chatted with him
"Who is accusing you of these words? How do you know so much? ”
"It was an uncle who told me."
This is reasonable, such a small child, who has just been sold, how can he think so clearly at once? But it's one thing for others to say it, and it's another thing to be able to listen to it, and it's good that this little boy can make accurate judgments so quickly.
Anyway, there was no better way, Gu Miao simply set up with the little boy, and by the way, he asked for some news.
"What day is today? What time is it? Where are we now? "After Gu Miao was kidnapped, she lost consciousness for a long time, and now she has no concept of time at all.
"It's April 3rd, it's morning, I don't know what time it is. We've been on the ship for days, and I don't know where we are now. The little boy replied fifteen-ten.
He is also just a child who has been sold, and what he can know is very limited, although Gu Miao is a little disappointed, he also knows that he can't be blamed.
It was already the second day, Gu Miao felt that she should have left Yicheng, Lin Wei's ability was so great, he could take her away like this. She didn't have the heart to think about how she was taken away, and now the key was to escape. She asked again:
"How did you get here?"
"My family is poor, my brother is sick and can't be cured, my mother wants to sell my brother, so I let my mother sell me. My younger brother is ignorant, and if he is sold, he will never be able to get it back, and if he is sold, I may find it back one day. The little boy was not wary of Gu Miao, seeing that she was very good-looking, her voice was soft and very good, and she was not crying like those children, so he sat down beside Gu Miao.
Gu Miao was shocked by this child again, when she was so old, she would smash things and mess around, her father died, and her mother didn't have time to care about her, so she cried all kinds of nonsense and then bullied her classmates, how could this little boy be so sensible.
"You're such a good boy." Gu Miao was ashamed, if she could return home, she would definitely stop messing around obediently.
"Don't cry now, they won't be embarrassed to see you behave."
Gu Miao nodded: "My name is Gu Miao, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu, we will be friends in the future, you have to help me!" Gu Miao looked at Xiao Wu sincerely and expectantly.
"Okay, we'll be good friends from now on." Xiao Wu's face finally showed a smile: "I will help you." ”
"By the way, who is the uncle who told you that? Why are I talking to you about these things? ”
"I didn't know, I just met him at the trafficker, he asked me a few questions and I answered them, and then he told me about them."
Gu Miao quickly lost interest in that uncle, after all, he was not the one who could help her escape, so this bit of information was useless at all, and chatted with Xiao Wu for a while, hoping to find out more about the traffickers.
Xiao Wu also knew everything, and the two chatted quite well.
Gu Miao learned that there were 5 children on the boat, a little girl named Rong Rong and a little boy named Binbin were abducted, and the other three were bought.
I also knew that the two traffickers and Xiaowu were originally from the neighboring village, they were two brothers, and they were originally engaged in water transportation business, specializing in transporting yellow sand from the north to the south to sell, but later the transportation industry developed too fast, and the logistics cost was getting lower and lower, so that water transportation was not competitive at all, and it was impossible to make any money.
One day, the family in the village was so poor that they begged the brothers to help them take the child to the south and sell it, and the brothers made a lot of money after the fact. The two of them tasted the sweetness, and then they became more and more emboldened, and began to buy children everywhere, and even abducted other people's children to be sold in the south or further afield.
I also know that the two brothers are actually inseparable, the elder brother is bold and black-hearted, and the younger brother Gaozi is a timid and stupid person, so he can only follow his brother's ass to do things, and always complains that his brother gets little money.
Although Xiao Wu is just a child, he knows so much gossip, and it seems that the adults in their family are complaining about the two brothers.
After a bumpy road, the door of the cabin was suddenly opened, and after chatting with Xiao Wu for a morning, Gu Miao knew that it should be time to put the meal, and the younger brother of Gao Zi would take the food and then Xiao Wu fed everyone to eat, of course, there were disobedient people, and this meal would be gone.
Gu Miao knew that it was time for her to take a good look.
