Chapter 234: Searching for People
Not only Ye Tan was taken aback, but even Tuanzi was also taken aback.
When he came in just now, Ye Tan knocked on the door and no one answered, Tuanzi thought that there was no one in this Jinyuan Temple, so he put all his mind on finding the sign-in point, and when Ye Tan signed in just now, it only paid attention to what was checked out, and did not check the surrounding situation at all.
Therefore, when a man's voice sounded behind Ye Tan, Tuanzi was frightened: "I'll go, why are there still people here?" ”
Ye Tan hurriedly turned around and looked at the comer.
This is an old man of sixty or seventy years old, with almost all white hair, a little hunched back, wearing a hundred coats and a pair of black cloth shoes, and is looking at him solemnly with his hands behind his back.
Without waiting for Ye Tan to speak, the old man frowned and asked, "How did you get in?" ”
Ye Tan was a little puzzled by this old man's question, how else could he come in? The road was unblocked, and the door was hidden, so naturally it came in.
However, Ye Tan still said politely: "Old man, I was passing by here and knew that there was a Jinyuan Temple here, so I came to take a look." ”
"Didn't meet anyone?" The old man asked, frowning.
Ye Tan shook his head.
"This Jinyuan Temple existed in name only a few years ago, what's there to see." Hearing Ye Tan's words, the old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't run here, it's okay, little girl's family, what are you doing running to such a remote place?" Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. ”
The old man's attitude made Ye Tan a little confused, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the voices of two men talking from outside the front hall.
One of them said, "Are you sure a woman has come in?" ”
"I don't think I heard me wrong."
The words of the two men made the old man's face change, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture towards Ye Tan, and then dragged Ye Tan's sleeve to the backyard, at this time, Ye Tan found that the old man's feet were lame, especially when he walked fast, it was very difficult, so she hurriedly walked a few steps and helped the old man to the backyard together.
Although Ye Tan still didn't understand the current situation, she intuitively felt that this old man had no ill will towards her.
With Ye Tan's help, the two walked quickly, and when the two men came to the apse, Ye Tan and the old man had already arrived in the backyard.
The old man hurriedly opened a locked room, and as soon as he entered the room, Ye Tan was shocked, there were more than 20 women and children lying in this room, all of whom were unconscious at this time.
Without waiting for Ye Tan to say anything, the old man hid Ye Tan behind the two women in a corner, and then whispered: "You stay here first, don't make a noise, do you know." ”
Ye Tan nodded.
When the old man saw that Ye Tan responded, he hurriedly went out of the house and locked the door again.
After a while, Ye Tan heard the voices of the two men before.
One of them said, "Old man Sun, is there anyone in the temple today?" ”
I heard the old man respond lightly: "Aren't you guarding the door, if someone comes, you won't know?" ”
"Really no one?" Another asked, disbelievingly, "How do I hear a woman's voice?" ”
"I didn't see it anyway, you two didn't see it when you two were guarding the gate?" The old man still said lightly.
"We weren't ...... just now," one of the men said with some annoyance: "What about it, Old Man Sun, is it that the things you make are not clean, my brothers and sons have stomach troubles after eating, and say, did you deliberately fix us?" ”
Immediately after, there was a "pop".
Tuanzi said angrily: "Xiaotan, that man slapped the old man." ”
Ye Tan naturally clenched her fists angrily when she heard the movement, but now that the door of the house was locked, she couldn't get out for a while, and now that there were so many women and children in this house, it was definitely not something that one or two people could do, and these two men must have other accomplices, so she still had to figure things out first.
How many traffickers are there here, and apart from the women and children in this house, are there any other people who have been arrested?
"I also ate what I made, why am I okay?" It seems that he has become accustomed to being treated, and the old man just replied lightly.
"You, what the hell, are you still talking back to Lao Tzu?"
"Okay, okay, you broke him, who will cook for us when you turn around, so many people." Another man persuaded.
"Hmph, I'll spare you today." The man who hit the old man snorted coldly, and then continued to ask, "Is there really no one coming in?" ”
"No, don't believe what I said, look at it yourself, the whole temple is so big, you check it yourself."
"Hey, who are you old guy messing with? Who has the final say here, do you know, don't think that you can cook for us, you can, let me tell you, provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will clean you up well, believe it or not? ”
Another man persuaded: "Okay, what are you doing with an old thing, let's search first, if it's really a woman, don't look back, you kid heard it wrong." ”
"How could I have misheard." The irascible man snorted coldly and said, "Old man Sun, you wait, if you really want to find a woman, I will beat you to death, old boy." ”
Tuanzi kept an eye on the outside, so he said to Ye Tan: "Xiao Tan, they are searching room by room." ”
"Tuanzi, look at whether there is anyone else in this temple besides the three of them." Ye Tan said.
"I'll see."
Tuanzi didn't dare to be sloppy this time, so he increased his horsepower to search around, and after looking at it, he said, "No, it's just the three of them." ”
Ye Tan had a number in his heart, so he continued to hide in the corner.
It didn't take long for the two men to search this room, they opened the door and looked inside, because the room was dark, Ye Tan hid behind the two women in the corner of the wall, just blocking her entire figure, so the two men didn't find Ye Tan, so they locked the door again.
It seemed that after searching to no avail, the two men were relieved.
The one who had been persuading peace said: "I'll just say that you heard it wrong, this Jinyuan Temple is so biased, and now it's deserted, who is full of food and supports to come here." ”
"Did I hear me wrong?" The other grumpy man said with some uncertainty.
"But you just heard me wrong."
"Damn, we can't leave at the same time in the future, look at this trouble, if the boss finds out, we will both have to be beaten."
"Who let us both have stomach trouble at the same time, what's the way to do this?"
"Old man Sun, if you eat your things and make trouble in the future, Lao Tzu will beat you." The irascible man threatened the old man two more times, and then returned to the main hall under the persuasion of another man.
