Wan Jinlan was really tired today. The sky was gradually getting dark. After leaning against the stone for a while, his eyelids felt heavy.
As long as she still had the energy, she would curse Xiao Minghuan in her heart for a while.
Even though she was a little dazed, she didn't dare to close her eyes completely and remained alert in her heart.
She was also worried about what would happen if her brother brought people down to look for her but she was asleep and couldn't hear them.
The sound of grass being trampled came into my ears, rustling, coming from far away and gradually becoming clearer, and the voices gradually became clearer.
"It's past the agreed time, and Lao Hei hasn't sent anyone here yet. Why don't we send this batch of goods away first?"
"No, too many children have gone missing in the villages near the capital recently. Someone is patrolling this area with government officials. I heard that the leader is a prince. We have to be careful."
The person who suggested sending the goods away complained, "You're being too cautious! Those idiots couldn't have guessed we'd hide people here, much less that there's a passage at the bottom of the cliff. What are you afraid of? They haven't found a single person in all these years."
It was already dark. Wan Jinlan listened to the footsteps of the two people and determined their location by the sound. After realizing that they had walked over the rocks, he slowly moved his head out.
People who practice martial arts have very sharp five senses. She didn't dare to stare at the two people directly, but used her peripheral vision.
"What do you know? There's a batch of important goods in the secret room. If this place is exposed, neither you nor I can afford to pay for it."
"Boss, do you know what that shipment is?"
The man's threatening voice was quite loud, and Wan Jinlan heard it clearly, her ears pricked up. She also wanted to know what the cargo was, and she felt that she was about to hear some incredible secret.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."
Not to mention that the man who was asking about the matter was lost, Wan Jinlan was also lost.
So what exactly is the important cargo?
The meaning of the two people's words made her understand that there was a group of abducted children at the foot of the cliff, and in addition to the children, there was also a batch of very important goods.
She saw out of the corner of her eye that the two of them walked for another ten feet and then turned to the left of the stream. When they reached the opposite mountain wall, she slowly moved her head out.
One of the two men was tall and thin, and the other was slightly shorter. The shorter man pressed on the cliff wall, and then a hole slowly appeared on the cliff wall that seemed to be one with the cliff wall and had vines hanging on it.
It was some distance away, so she couldn't see clearly.
I saw two people go in one after the other.
The person went in and the small hole closed.
Wan Jinlan felt extremely anxious and uncomfortable. She wanted to go in and see what was going on, but she was worried that she would never come back.
The moon was out, but she was still in a dilemma.
Logically speaking, she should just wait here patiently for someone from the mansion to come find her, but there was a big secret in front of her, and she was anxious to know it.
She analyzed the situation inside the cave. If there were a group of children inside, there must be other ventilation holes besides this closed doorway, otherwise the children would have died long ago.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that the two people who went in will not come out at night.
But what if she took it for granted? What if she bumped into someone as soon as she entered? What if there were some trap inside?
She had no other weapons on her body except a dagger.
After hesitating for a moment, and still not hearing any sound of people coming from the mansion, she simply stood up and prepared to grope her way in.
Therefore, it was completely correct for Shen Qing to restrain Wan Jinlan on a daily basis. Even in such an unclear situation, Wan Jinlan dared to go in and take a chance. He really thought he was lucky.
Most of the hairpins and jewelry on Wan Jinlan's head had fallen off during the fall, but there was still a pair of red coral earrings.
She took off the earrings and bracelets that might reveal her whereabouts and placed them in the depression of the stone.
The moonlight during the Mid-Autumn Festival is exceptionally bright, and the entire mountain stream is covered with a layer of silver gauze, hazy and beautiful.
Wan Jinlan crossed the stream, stepping lightly on the grass, and ignored the dull pain in her ankle.
When she found the inconspicuous bulge and heard a slight clicking sound, she jumped lightly, grabbed the vines, stepped on the bulge on the cliff, and hung on it.
After waiting for a long time without any sound, she jumped lightly and entered the passage.
The passage was very long, the air was not circulating, and it was very stuffy. There was a fishy smell in the air, and there was also a faint pungent smell that was a bit familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was for a while.
After turning a corner, the view became darker and the moonlight disappeared.
When she reached a fork in the road, she walked cautiously to the right, but after a few steps, she was blocked by a stone gate.
She then turned back to the left.
It was very quiet inside, and it was only after about a quarter of an hour that she heard some noise.
The girl's whimpering and the man's heavy breathing.
The light in the cave was very dim, without a single candle. She was afraid of bumping into something and falling or making a noise, so she walked very slowly.
The view in front of me became noticeably brighter. Apparently, there was an exit here, and the exit was open, allowing the moonlight to shine in.
In the first open stone cave on the left side in front, you can vaguely see boys and girls lying on the ground, all sleeping quietly, with breathing sounds coming one after another.
The smell was too pungent. She wrinkled her nose. She could smell how foul the air inside was even from the entrance of the cave.
She roughly counted and found that there were at least thirty people.
These human traffickers, who have nothing to do with human beings, should all be sentenced to death.
As she crouched over the cave entrance, her vision grew brighter and the sickening sound became clearer.
When Wan Jinlan saw this scene, he wanted to rush over and kill the man.
Under the moonlight, the girl's cheeks flushed, her expression was filled with fear and pain, but she dared not cry out loud, because if she made a sound, the man would call her to death.
Of the two men she had met before, one was now fast asleep with an overturned wine jar beside him. Wan Jinlan could also smell the alcohol.
Another beast was torturing the girl.
Wan Jinlan's journey was quite smooth, without any unexpected problems.
At this moment, seeing this scene in front of her, she subconsciously thought that there were only these two people in the underground tunnel cave.
One was drunk and asleep, and the other was completely defenseless.
She took a deep breath, took out the dagger, and was about to take action when her mouth was suddenly covered by someone.
At this moment, her heart was about to jump out, her pupils dilated, and she subconsciously raised her elbow to attack the person who appeared silently behind her.
The person behind her held her tightly, hugging her hard.
The cool fragrance from the sleeves wafted into Wan Jinlan's nose. He was stunned for a moment, then calmed down.
If the person behind her wanted to harm her, why bother covering her up? She could just attack her quietly from behind.
