With a wave of her hand, Hotaru couldn't help coughing, accidentally inhaled a lot of flying dust, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked in.

She frowned lightly and said, "What, so dirty?" ”

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect there to be such a messy place, and it was obviously summer, but when I was in this room, I always felt a chill emerge from the soles of my feet.

Something was wrong at every turn, and she turned around and prepared to walk away quickly.

"Ahem!"

At this time, a low coughing sound came from behind, which startled Hotaru and froze her whole person, not daring to move.

But after this sound, it was quiet, and there was no more sound.

She rubbed her cheeks lightly and comforted herself: "Auditory hallucinations, it should be auditory hallucinations, where are the ghosts in broad daylight!" ”

Thinking so, she was about to walk out, but she heard the sound of falling things behind her.

At this moment, Hotaru Moon basically determined that there was someone behind him.

She was slightly surprised that there were still people in such a place, and after thinking about it, she still moved over in small steps: "Who?" Don't pretend to be a ghost. ”

In response to her, there was another cough!

Closing her eyes, she mustered up her courage and walked quickly to the source of the sound, only to be blocked by a wall.

"What the hell?"

She touched the wall, couldn't help but mutter, and leaned her ear against the wall, and as a result, a particularly clear coughing sound came from next door.

Obviously, she saw it when she came in, and there is only one entrance and exit in this courtyard, and there are no other rooms, what is going on!

Hotaru complained, "What the hell! ”

After thinking about it, I was about to leave, but I overheard a particularly weak and faint voice inside: "Help...... Save me! ”

The breath was weak, and it even gave Hotaru the feeling that it would be cut off in the next second.

After making sure that there was really someone next door, not a ghost, Hotaru quickly pounded the wall and said, "Hey, are you in there?" ”

There was a cough from inside, accompanied by a weak affirmation: "In ......"

At this moment, Hotaru was already sure that this was a dark room.

Looking around, she asked, "Don't worry, I'll see if there's any place to get into!" ”

As she said this, a weak voice came from inside again, and said to her, "Zuo...... The bead in the lion on the left turns a little, and you can open ......"

Following the other party's guidance, Hotaru saw the golden-bodied lion covered in layers of cobwebs and dust at a glance.

She put on a veil and turned the beads directly from the lion's mouth.

In the next second, there was a moving rumble from the wall, which frightened Hotaru to retreat.

Sure enough, there was a dark room in the back!

But Hotaru didn't dare to move, she still stood in place, carefully observing the movement inside, afraid that someone would suddenly rush out to attack her, and she was the only one who was alone.

"Ahem!"

A violent cough came, and Hotaru looked at the owner of the voice along the source of the sound, and froze instantly.

It's just an eight or nine-year-old child!

His throat was hoarse from the injury, and he couldn't tell that he was just a child, and besides, he was locked in a cage, like a dog, with a bowl next to him, with water and food in it.

Around his neck, he also has an iron chain locked, and whenever he moves, he will make a sound.

Hotaru Yue hurriedly stepped forward: "Are you okay?" ”

The child seemed to have been tortured for several days, and there was no intact part of his body, but his eyes were unusually bright when he looked at Firefly.

He forced himself to be weak and asked, "You're not from the Salesian Bureau, are you?" ”

With his back against the cage, there was nothing good on him at all, and even the knee was clearly broken.

Hotaru looked at him distressedly: "No, how could you be locked up here?" Still injured? ”

Obviously, he doesn't look very old, but the boy's voice gives people a sense of calmness.

He said, "I was taken in, but who knew that they were ...... But they want to use us to make money, and I struggle desperately to protect my younger brothers and sisters, but I still can't withstand so many of them. ”

With that, he bowed his head and began to sob.

Hotaru reached out and touched his head with pity: "They want to use you to make money?" How to make money? ”

She asked, and the boy shook his head.

"It's useless to tell you, maybe it will put you in trouble." He discussed.

Finding an open space and sitting down, Hotaru looked at him and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Huzi."

Maybe it's because of the kindness emanating from Hotaru that Huzi is a little less vigilant, and he actually talks to her honestly.

Looking at the wounds on his body with pity, Hotaru knew that he should have been abused like the group of children she had seen, perhaps even worse than the others.

It is precisely in this way that Huzi's confession is likely to become the most favorable evidence.

"Huzi, do you want to believe me, I will save you out!"

Hotaru looked at him and said word by word.

Maybe the word "out" is too long for him, and after escaping again and again, he is left to accept his fate, but suddenly someone comes and says he is willing to save him, which makes his heart burn hope again.

He nodded firmly.

Hotaru chuckled and said, "Okay, then I need to know what happened to you so that I can find a way to save you." We don't have much time, I've been away for so long, maybe they've noticed it and are coming this way, you...... Will you tell me? ”

Huzi hesitated, but nodded: "At the beginning, when I entered the Salesian Bureau, they were very good to me, gave me food and clothing, just like home, but later, I always couldn't eat enough and couldn't dress warmly, because among the group of children, I was the oldest, and I was a little bit talkative, so I went to find Mr. Qi, but who knows......"

"What?"

Seeing him stop, Hotaru asked anxiously.

"Who knew that he wanted us to go to other lonely gardens, or we would go to the streets to beg, such days were completely different from what I said when I came in before, after thinking about it, I still sent my younger brothers and sisters to other lonely gardens, but the good times didn't last long, who knew that this Mr. Qi had collusion with other people in the lonely garden! They use children to make money, and not only ...... Not only did they beat the disabled children and let them pretend to be disabled people to beg to win the pity of passers-by, but also sent some of the children to the black market to earn cheap labor, which is simply worse than death! Huzi said angrily, thinking that his younger brothers and sisters were all murdered, his eyes were red and he was about to cry.

"What? He actually colluded with others? ”

Hotaru Moon was also annoyed, and finally understood why the atmosphere was so bad now, it turned out that someone was conniving.

But with her strength, it is not enough to bring down this group of people, she needs to go back to Jiang Jiayu, and the two of them can discuss it carefully.

"Huzi, now that I save you, I will startle the snake, but you believe me, I will be back soon." Touching Huzi's cheek with pity, she said gently.
