A Yuan drooled while having this dream.

When she woke up, she saw Zhao Ru looking at her angrily.

Maodan and Nian Niang also had complicated expressions.

Zhao Ru: "How can you be so careless!"

Yuan lowered his head in shame and said honestly:

“I didn’t expect that.”

In the past, when family members said this, Yuan never believed it, but now she believed it. She was really brave, as she could still sleep so soundly at this time.

Seeing her honest look, Zhao Ru became even angrier. Her face turned red with anger and she looked like she was about to spit fire.

"How come you can't even lie!"

If she had found an excuse to lie, Zhao Ru wouldn't have been so angry.

Yuan understood what she meant, but:

“You are my good friends.”

Yuan doesn't like lying to his family and good friends unless it is necessary.

Zhao Ru also understood what she meant, so she became even angrier:

“Who knows how many good friends you have!

If you didn't have so many good friends, we wouldn't be like this now."

Zhao Ru started to cry as she spoke:

"My mother will be very sad if she can't find me. She loves me the most."

Zhao Ru didn't want to blame Yuan anymore, but she couldn't help it.

Zhao Ru cried:

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have dragged you out. We can just stay in the mansion and study hard, and nothing will happen.

I can still set off firecrackers in the mansion tomorrow. I haven’t had time to wear the clothes I ordered from Liuguangfang yet. My eldest sister also promised to give me a set of headgear. I haven’t finished my homework yesterday. I’m hungry, and Master Cen hasn’t beaten me yet…”

Zhao Ru was talking nonsense, sometimes blaming A Yuan, sometimes blaming herself. Even when her hands and feet were tied, she kicked Maodan and Nian Niang.

A Yuan was also very sad, but as Zhao Ru spoke, she began to feel sad for her as well, and talked about everything from A Yuan's grandmother to A Yuan's youngest brother Niu Wa.

Maodan and Nian Niang also started crying, and they wished they could bang their heads against the carriage and die to atone for their sins.

In the chaos, Yuan's tears fell to her cheeks and she couldn't cry anymore. A child in the carriage exclaimed to her:

“You have such a big family!”

Yuan: Huh?

The child was more outgoing than Yuan, and said to himself:

"Originally, I have quite a large family, and we all live together happily.

But ever since my father and my brother died, they all changed. They forced my mother to death and threw me out.

That house was bought by my father.

I originally wanted to go to Jizhou to find my grandfather, but I was caught by human traffickers.

Now I can’t go anywhere, I don’t know where I’ll be sold to.”

Yuan originally thought they were miserable, but after hearing this, it seemed like she was even more miserable!

"Your family is really a piece of shit." Yuan sighed sincerely.

The child, whose gender could not be seen or heard, nodded vigorously:

"you do not say!

But it’s better than death.”

The child said this and laughed, revealing two pointed fangs.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Wang Aquan. My parents said that I almost died when I was born, and a humble name would make it easier to keep me company, so they simply called me dog, saying that they would give me a real name after I grow up.

What about you? What are your names? "

"Fu Yuanzi, just call me Yuan."

Yuan doesn't look very energetic.

Zhao Ru cried so hard that she hiccuped: "My...my name is Zhao Ru, just call me sister."

Zhao Ru seems to have an inexplicable obsession with being someone's sister.

But just like what the maids in the Zhao mansion thought, it was really difficult for ordinary people to accept the way Zhao Ru spoke, and they always felt that there was something weird about it.

A Quan hesitated for a moment and didn't bark.

Maodan and Nian Niang also said their names.

Yuan was surprised: "You guys don't know each other yet?"

Maodan: "Now that it's like this, who's in the mood to get to know each other?"

That expression seemed to be saying: How can you be so careless? It's already this hour, and you're still making friends here?

A Yuan and A Quan said in unison: "We have nothing to do anyway."

The only difference between the two is that A Yuan still has a bit of sadness on his face, while as for A Quan, even though he is covered in dust, you can see that he is smiling with his teeth showing.

Zhao Ru's crying paused for a moment, then she cried even harder: "How can you be so careless!"

Zhao Ru really couldn't afford to get so angry.

The traffickers outside the carriage seemed to support Yuan and Quan. He Hui raised his voice and said:

"Why are you crying? Why don't you learn from others and accept your fate as soon as possible? What's there to cry about?"

Zhao Ru cried even louder and louder, as if she was trying to compete with him.

He Hui outside said, "That little bitch is quite noisy..."

Maodan reminded quietly: "Stop crying, if he starts to curse, he's going to hit you."

Ah Quan pulled up his arm, revealing the whip marks that were almost healing:

"It turns out that I cried even harder than you did. It was useless except for suffering."

He Hui also blamed the person who liked to reply: "That's right, you should listen to advice at such a young age."

Zhao Ru sobbed and shut up. It wasn't that she was afraid, but there was no need to get beaten. Besides, it was obvious that He Hui was not a serious person.

The carriage fell silent for a moment. Yuan looked around and asked the child next to him in a low voice: "What's your name?"

"Sibao." The little boy next to her looked up at her and said.

Since he had nothing to do, Yuan soon successfully asked the name of every child in the carriage.

I even have a basic understanding of their age and where their home is.

To be frank, He Hui didn't figure it out as clearly as she did. After all, He Hui didn't care about this. As for whether he could make them forget where they were from, that was the buyer's business.

The people he abducted were from all over the country, and he didn't discriminate between genders or ages. The younger ones could be two or three years old, or the older ones like Yuan and his friends who were seven or eight years old.

According to A Quan and Mao Dan, there were actually two teenage boys, a pair of twins, but they were always running and running, and they were very strong and difficult to control.

He Hui threw them off the cart. One of the ropes got stuck on the ox cart and was dragged far away. He Hui was still laughing.

In the end, Maodan pounced over and bit the rope with his teeth. No one knew whether the brother was dead or alive, but the ground was covered with blood.

Later on, He Hui stopped kidnapping children so old, and only kidnapped children who were ten years old at most, as he was afraid it would be difficult to control them.

He always walked around, selling things, and never stayed in one place for long, at most two days before leaving.

The children on the bus now are either those who were abducted recently, such as A Yuan and Zhao Ru.

Or they were the ones who made the most noise and could not be sold for a while, such as Maodan, Nian Niang, A Quan, Si Bao, and a little girl named Cui Gu.

Or they are the ones left over by others, such as Shafu, Erwai, and Laifenger.

Maodan and Nian Niang are nine years old and are the oldest child.

Next are Zhao Ru, A Yuan, and A Quan, seven years old.

Sibao is five years old and Cuigu is six years old.

Shafu, Erwai and Laifeng'er are only two or three years old, and they can't even tell where their home is.

They were too small, couldn't do much work, and no one wanted to buy them.

He Hui wanted to sell the youngest ones to families without children so that he could earn more, but he couldn't find a suitable buyer for the time being.

Yuan looked out from the gap in the carriage for a long time, but didn't see anything familiar.

According to the memory of Lao Fu's family, if the place doesn't look familiar, it just means they have never been there before.

"Oh~" Yuan sighed deeply.

Zhao Ru heard it and immediately scolded her with swollen eyes: "How can you still sigh?"

Yuan nodded and replied, "I still feel hungry."

Then he shouted loudly: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"

The human trafficker outside: …

Kidnapped Children: …

It's rare for a group of people to think of the same thing:

It's already this late, why are you still hungry?!
