Probably seeing the appearance of this brother protecting his sister, Lin He felt pity, and let them into the house first and poured hot water.

I haven't cooked yet, so I don't have anything to eat, so I simply grabbed a handful of dried mutton made yesterday.

"Eat something and drink some water, and then tell me more about your situation."

The full aroma of the meat made the brother and sister swallow their saliva, but they didn't fight, and the brother tried to take his eyes off the jerky.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lee."

Then he took a small piece of jerky and gave it to his sister, who didn't speak, but leaned over Lin He.

Lin He was slightly surprised, and suddenly asked, "Your sister can't speak?" ”

The elder brother's expression was gloomy for a moment: "Well, my sister used to be able to speak, but then she was scared and couldn't speak." ”

Lin He was a little surprised, what kind of fright would scare people into speechlessness?

At this time, the two were at the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, and Lin He motioned for the brothers and sisters to sit down: "What are your names, tell me about your situation first." ”

The elder brother obviously inquired about the Li family and knew that the family had a relatively kind personality, so he was not verbose at this time, and pulled his sister to sit down respectfully opposite Lin He.

"Mrs. Li, we don't have a name, my grandparents have always called me a dog baby, and my sister has lost money."

Lin He's brows furrowed, a beggar for a while, a grandparents for a while, this situation sounds quite complicated.

Fortunately, the brother didn't hesitate much, and continued to explain.

"When our mother was two or three years old, she was beaten to death by my father after drinking, and no one wanted to marry my father again, and my grandparents thought that we were burdening my father."

"My father loves to drink, and he loves to go to the kiln, he doesn't make money, and he asks his family for money every day, my mother was beaten to death because she didn't have money for my father, and my grandparents were often beaten."

"Later, my sister grew up, and when the Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated last year, my grandparents said that they would take my sister to the town to buy new clothes, and they never bought clothes for my sister!"

When my brother said this, he was very angry, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Lin He also guessed the follow-up.

Thinking of the children in his own family, the eldest is about the same age as this child, although he was not well taken care of in front of his grandparents when he was a child, but compared to the two brothers and sisters, it is already enjoyable.

At least, there were no bruises on their brothers.

Lin He's eyes fell on his sister's uncovered arm, and the traces left by many scars, although the scabs had fallen off, the traces were still there.

seemed to be aware of Lin He's sight, and the younger sister, who was eating mutton jerky, uncomfortably withdrew her arm and pulled the short sleeve, trying to cover the marks on her arm.

Lin He didn't look any further, and motioned for his brother to continue.

The elder brother is also calm, knowing that this is not the time to complain about the situation at home, he has to talk about his situation first, and strive to let himself and his sister stay.

"I felt that something was wrong, so I secretly followed, but my grandparents took my sister to the secret prostitution parlor in the town, and I injured someone while they were about to sign the deed of sale, and ran away with my sister."

After saying this, my brother suddenly knelt down beside Lin He again: "Mrs. Li, please, please take us in, we will work in the field, we will not move our minds." ”

The younger sister was taken aback by her brother's sudden reaction, and although she was puzzled, she still knelt down beside her brother with her.

Lin He didn't rush to agree, nor did he rush to get them up, just looked at his sister: "You said that my sister was frightened and lost her voice, what's going on?" ”

Speaking of this, my sister's face turned pale, and the whole person trembled a little, and she involuntarily approached her brother's side.

Lin He saw that her sister was scared, afraid to say this kind of thing, but there were some things that she had to figure out, and she couldn't be confused, so she left people behind.

The elder brother was a little embarrassed, but he still held his sister's wrist tightly with one hand, trying to calm down and explain.

"When my grandparents were about to sell my sister, an old prostitute was next to her and did something to my sister, and my sister was frightened at that time, crying and screaming all the time, and when I ran away with her, she suddenly couldn't speak."

Lin He was stunned, and suddenly regretted asking this question, which was equivalent to tearing open the scar at that time.

Reaching out and pulling up her sister, who was closer to her, she sat down on the stool, and took another piece of lamb jerky and put it in her hand.

My brother still knelt down and didn't get up.

"Which town are you from, how far is your home from Nanzhi County, if you stay here, if your grandparents come over and want to take you away, I can't stop you."

There is a very sad situation, human traffickers abduct and sell human beings illegally, but it is not illegal for parents to sell their children and daughters, and even those with a low sense of morality can even sell their wives and mothers!

Whether it is sold to people as slaves or maids, or sold to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, it is legal.

My brother is quite smart, and when he heard Lin He's words, he knew that he had hope of staying, and his eyes lit up, and he even straightened his back.

"Mrs. Li, don't worry, my grandparents are in Pingyu County, far away from Nanzhi County, I fled with my sister for more than two months in order to avoid them, and then came to Nanzhi County."

That is, as long as they don't go back, it will be difficult for them to be found by their grandparents.

"More than two months? How did you get over the past two months? ”

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little evasive, but he still hesitated and said: "I, after I escaped with my sister, I secretly went back once, took it, and stole some money hidden by my grandparents." ”

Afraid that Lin He would misunderstand, he hurriedly raised his head and looked directly at Lin He: "Just this time, I want to take my sister away, but I will starve to death soon if I don't have money, I swear, I will definitely not do this kind of thing in the future!" ”

Lin He was not angry: "It's okay, it's better for you to go home and get your own money than to steal others." ”

At least, that's for a reason.

"Another question, what did you just say, if you can't find a place to stay, you will be caught in the kiln?"

Now that he has fled from his original family, no one is qualified to sell his sister, no, there is another person.

Lin He looked at the brother in front of him, if there was one person who could sell his sister, it would be only this brother.

But since the elder brother brought his sister to beg for a living, naturally he would not be such a person, and in this case, how could he be caught in the kiln?

My brother's expression instantly gloomy: "It's other beggars in the county, my sister and I are foreigners and occupy their territory, I heard them discuss last night and want to sell my sister, as long as you knock me out and let me put my fingerprint on the deed of sale, no one will pursue it." ”

Lin He: "......"

She knows that people have good and evil, but she didn't expect that sometimes people's bottom line is so low!
