"What? Which village did you say that man is from?" the man asked in disbelief.

"You're from Dingjia Village. What happened? Don't worry, I've asked around. There are only about a thousand people in their village. They've been running around like headless flies these past two days." said a woman.

"What about the other one?" the man said.

"There's even less to worry about the other one. There's just a kid and a dog looking for her everywhere. I saw people from her village come, but I didn't see anyone asking about her. I guess they're just going through the motions." The woman sneered.

There is no true love among people nowadays, not to mention that there is a house there. They wish that the person would disappear. If the boy had not come, they would have taken him away together.

I have done a good deed and helped them reduce the number of people who want to steal their house.

"Which village did you say you were from?" The man looked at the woman expectantly, hoping that he had just hallucinated.

"Big gourd! What's wrong?" the woman asked in confusion.

She has always lived in the inner house. Even now, she lives on her own and guards her own little piece of land. No one wants to deal with her, and she has basically no idea what is happening outside.

"It's over, it's over. We really ran into someone from Dahulu Village!" The man was terrified, wondering if the boss would beat him to death.

"Is there a problem?" the woman asked doubtfully.

"You guys are new to the business, and you don't know that people from Hulu Village are not to be touched. That's the rule of the underworld," said the man.

"I don't see any difference! Now that we've caught them, should we send them back?" the woman asked.

"Don't worry about what's going on. Just take a break for now. I'll let you know if anything happens." The man walked away with a pale face.

He racked his brains but couldn't think of any good way to remedy the situation. He was still considering whether to pretend he didn't know or tell his boss.

"Woof woof woof..." On the road, a boy was leading a dog and barking at him.

He didn't yell at the child because he was a kid. Instead, he shrank his neck and said to the child, "Watch your dog. I'm afraid of dogs."

The cowardly and honest man is his disguise, and by hiding like this, he can also hide his face.

"It doesn't bite, Dabai, go home." Liu Ankang said, holding Dabai who wanted to pounce forward.

"I locked it up all day today, and it's so excited to be out now. I'll hold it, you go first." Liu Ankang said to the man.

"Well, then you pull tight." The man glanced at the dog and drove the ox cart away quickly.

I thought to myself, since I can't control it, I'll just eat meat, dog meat is good. Oh, I'm craving meat, it seems I have to find a chance to get a dog.

"Dabai, follow me, and keep your voice down." Liu Ankang said to Dabai after the ox cart had gone far away. The man and the dog followed the ox cart from a distance.

The oxcart circled around and finally turned into an alley. Liu Ankang did not follow it in, and sure enough, the oxcart came out again a short while later.

Liu Ankang followed from a distance, circled twice, and finally entered another alley.

Liu Ankang didn't dare to follow too closely. After a long time when no one came out, he asked Dabai to go in.

Although the houses here all have their own doors and yards, they are densely packed next to each other.

The roads inside are also well connected.

"What are you doing here?" Uncle Xiao Wu walked up from behind and asked.

"I was following someone, and I suspect that the person was taken away by him," said Liu Ankang.

"Then you should have come to us. It's so dangerous for you. Do you know that you are being followed?" Uncle Xiao Wu said.

Liu Ankang was stunned for a moment. He had just been paying attention to the beginning and forgot to take care of the end.

"Okay, your Uncle Dawu has taken care of it, just continue to follow." Xiao Wu said to Liu Ankang.

Dabai stopped in front of a yard. Xiaowu looked around and observed the structure of the house.

Then he ran up the wall and saw the ox cart in the yard.

"The car is still there, and the people will probably leave tomorrow morning. I'll keep an eye on it here, and you go back and tell the village chief and the others. Your Uncle Da Wu will be here soon, so don't worry, he will definitely not let anyone escape." Uncle Xiao Wu said to Liu Ankang.

Although Liu Ankang wanted to stay, he knew that he would only be a burden.

There wasn't even a tree nearby, so hiding was difficult.

"Then I'll go back first." Liu Ankang said and walked away with Dabai.

He clenched his fists and vowed to become stronger as soon as possible and never let such a thing happen again.

Liu Ankang went back and explained the situation. The next step was the adults' business. It was easier to find people with a target, and the news was quickly passed back.

It was just a newly formed small group that openly engaged in stealing and trafficking women and children in secret.

A few people looked at each other. It seemed that there was someone above them, otherwise this small foreign gang would be merged into the local gang in a few days.

Song Jinxiu felt that it was not so quiet outside these two days, and the sounds of discussion were becoming more and more frequent. She probably thought something had happened or it was time for delivery.

She is now afraid to sleep soundly at night and keeps herself alert at all times.

Sure enough, one evening, several people began to feel drowsy after eating, and then all fell down, and Song Jinxiu fell down with them.

After a while, someone came in and moved them to the cart and placed them side by side. Except for some space reserved for the heads, the rest was covered with straw.

"Hurry up, things have changed, deliver the goods ahead of time." Someone said on the side.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"I don't know. I heard there's a big reshuffle going on in the market, and those who have goods are trying to sell them off as soon as possible," the man said.

"Who cares? We don't care about the higher-ups. Just do our own thing. Once we get this deal done, we can take a break. Everyone, hurry up and get rid of this."

"Brother Ma, where should this batch of goods be delivered this time?" someone asked.

"Just send it directly to the station, there will be someone to take over there. We are only responsible for sending it to the next city, the rest of the journey is not our responsibility." Ma Ge replied.

Song Jinxiu felt that there were some woven items like bamboo baskets pressing on her body and feet, the kind that were bulky and light.

The ox cart moved forward slowly. After a few minutes, Song Jinxiu vaguely heard human voices.

My goodness, this is not some deep mountain forest. It's clearly a small forest. No wonder they gagged everyone and guarded it so tightly.

It gives people the illusion of being in the deep mountains and old forests, making people think twice before escaping. It's really amazing.

Song Jinxiu heard the voices coming from twos and threes gradually becoming noisy.

Listening to the familiar voice, Song Jinxiu felt speechless.

Could it be that I have been in that place these days?

If that's true, then he's truly a great hidden gem in the city! No one could imagine that someone would dare to hide him there, after all, there are so many people coming and going every day.
