Qin Jiangqiu, a forensic analyst who was cheated on by a scumbag, accidentally becomes the widow Qin Sanniang on the road to flee famine. Isn't that already unlucky enough? Don't worry, the...

Chapter 233 Zheng Mazi

Chen Guang'an usually did nothing but petty theft and had never seen anything like this before! He didn't know what to do, so he could only nod to show that he understood.

After parking the donkey cart, the two took out some vegetable buns and ate a few bites with cold water.

As for starting a fire? Forget it, that would just be asking to be discovered!

Meanwhile, after crossing the mountain, Qin San Niang noticed that Xiao Bai was spinning around in circles even more frequently! Qin San Niang knew that this probably meant the children were nearby!

Not daring to delay Xiaobai, she could only wait quietly nearby, picking up her binoculars to look around. Although it was night, the visibility was still better than relying solely on her eyes! However, the surroundings were pitch black, and there were no clues. Qin San Niang dared not turn on her flashlight, fearing it would disturb the thieves. She could only take out a low-powered one to illuminate the path ahead.

Hearing Xiaobai whimper a few times, Qin San Niang knew that it meant the children were ahead. Don't ask her how she knew; she had already developed a tacit understanding with Xiaobai along the way!

After putting Xiaobai and the horse into her spatial storage, Qin Sanniang put on a stab-proof vest and took out a cotton rope, which she had used before to deal with Fei Peng and the others, and it was very effective.

Just in case, she also took out a revolver and placed it on her waist, just in case. This was at risk of being discovered for the children's safety!

Donning a black night-clothes, Qin San Niang moved with the silent and agile steps of a cat, swiftly approaching the foot of the mountain.

Before even reaching the foot of the mountain, she heard a familiar voice. Upon closer listening, she recognized it as Chen Guang'an and Boss Qiu. Fortunately, the incident of the lock-headed woman being poisoned hadn't been long ago, and how could she not vividly remember Boss Qiu's hoarse, effeminate voice?!

Well, how dare they provoke us? They're really asking for trouble!

Chen Guang'an and Qiu Laoda were no skilled fighters, just thugs, and they couldn't even notice that Qin Sanniang was already leaning against the back of the donkey cart.

While they were talking, Qin San Niang lifted a corner of the car shed and found four children lying neatly inside, their chests rising and falling slightly, indicating that they had been drugged!

It's good that they're still alive. Now it's time to deal with these two beasts!

Qin San Niang moved the children into her spatial dimension and fed them some water from it. Although they were still asleep, she felt a little more at ease.

After doing all this, Qin Sanniang quickly moved to the side of the car, facing away from Chen Guang'an and Qiu Laoda.

Although the two men were already quite tired, they dared not be careless, much less sleep. Just as Qin San Niang was about to kill them, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar. The sound was very noisy, and it sounded like there were quite a few people and horses.

She thought to herself that she was afraid something else might happen, and she also wanted to see who had the audacity to do human trafficking in Jiangzhou.

Although buying and selling slaves is legal nowadays, his child is from a respectable family. Selling a respectable child is equivalent to trafficking, which is illegal. The punishment is thirty strokes of the cane and three thousand miles of penal servitude!

Besides, Qin San Niang now possesses a spatial dimension and weapons. Considering that there are still human traffickers in the place where they live, she can't tolerate this. She'll wipe them all out in a round later, which can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people and accumulating some merit for herself.

"Brother Qiu, is that the person who was supposed to meet us?" Chen Guang'an suddenly stood up, his heart pounding, fearing that it was the children's family catching up, especially that scarred man surnamed Gu, who was practically a devil.

Boss Qiu also stood up, stood on tiptoe to look around, and said with certainty, "Guang'an, don't worry, that must be Boss Zheng!"

The reason for this certainty was not because of exceptional eyesight, but because they knew that ordinary people would not have so many men, and who would come here after nightfall? This was the entrance to Jiangzhou City, and the Jiangzhou Wharf was only thirty miles away. After handing over the child, he would be sent to various places tonight on ships disguised as merchant ships. Even if Tan San Niang and her companions were immortals, they would be powerless to stop them.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile crept across Boss Qiu's slightly crooked lips! Hmph, you want to fight me? Then I'll make sure your families are destroyed!

Qin San Niang didn't miss Qiu Laoda's expression; she had already mentally marked it with a red line. Qiu Laoda was unaware that he had been shockingly added to Qin San Niang's death list.

When the horse galloped up in the moonlight, she realized there were quite a few people, more than twenty in total. Besides a dozen or so men on horseback, there were also a dozen or so people driving two or three carriages. The carriages were very ordinary, with thick yellow hemp curtains. There was not a sound coming from inside. If it weren't for a small foot peeking out from under the curtain of one of the carriages, Qin San Niang would have almost thought there was no one inside at all!

But the child's feet seemed to have lost all feeling, swaying with the rhythm of the carriage, as if he were fast asleep!

Qin San Niang had a plan in mind: most of the children in this car were trafficked!

Upon seeing the newcomer, Boss Qiu put on a fawning expression, straining every muscle in his face to form a flattering smile, and said, "Greetings, Boss Zheng! This is my good brother, Chen Guang'an. He's also thinking of going out with you, Master Zheng, to see the world and make his way in the world! I humbly request that you take him in!"

The man called Boss Zheng had a full beard and his face was covered with acne scars, clearly marks left from puberty. He was sitting on his tall horse with a mocking expression, looking down at Boss Qiu and his companion, seemingly wondering what these two were capable of!

Since this person was introduced by his good brother, Boss Zheng couldn't refuse his brother's request. Although neither of these two men seemed to be good fighters, the team needed a few people to gather firewood, cook, do laundry, and run errands. Taking them in would be fine, and he wouldn't be short of a few coins!

So he said lazily, "Alright, since you're so sincere about joining, I can't just leave you alone. Come with me! But it'll be tough along the way, so don't complain about the hardship or the fatigue. Otherwise, how will you make big money? Don't you agree?"

After saying that, he dismounted and said to the man behind him, "Seventh Brother, hurry up and get some food and drink. We'll head to the dock when it's broad daylight!"

The man called Seventh nodded and went to prepare the food.

They were in a dangerous business, always on the edge of their seats, and could lose their lives at any moment. So, when it came to food and drink, they had no scruples; they always ate and drank well. The seventh brother took out several large bags of roast chicken and handed them to the eldest brother, Zheng!

Old Zheng was a heavy drinker, known for his ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but knowing he had a lot to do today, he couldn't drink too much.

Seeing Chen Guang'an and his companion standing to the side, who looked like they hadn't eaten for days, he invited them to join him for a meal and drinks.
