When Tian An woke up in the morning, he was amazed when he washed Yaoyao's face.
When the little guy was brought home yesterday, his hair was messy and his face was dirty, but even then he was incredibly cute. Now that he was washed, he was even more beautiful, leaving her at a loss for words.
Her skin is fair, smooth and tender, her eyes are big, her pupils are black and bright, her eyelashes are long, thick and curled, and they flicker like two small fans. When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples, just like a fairy in the sky.
With this look, it’s no wonder that she was targeted by human traffickers. Not to mention the traffickers, even she wanted to take her home.
Moreover, Tian An also noticed the clothes she was wearing. Although they were dirty and smelly and could no longer be seen in their original appearance, one could tell by touching them that the materials were of excellent quality. Even the ones Peng Zhang gave her could not be compared with them.
This child's family must be either wealthy or noble! But how could a child raised so carefully by such a family fall into the hands of human traffickers so carelessly?
Tian An thought for a moment, took out a box from his bag, opened the lid, dipped his finger in a little of the dark yellow lotion inside, and applied it on Yaoyao's face.
"Yaoyao, I'm going to put something on your face. It may look a little ugly now, but it will become more beautiful after you wash it off."
Yaoyao responded obediently: "Okay, thank you, sister." Her third brother had secretly told her last night that Brother An An was actually her sister, and she also liked this gentle sister in front of her.
After applying the paint on her face, Tian An took her hands and applied it again, "Yaoyao, there are a lot of bad people out there. From now on, you have to call me brother, not sister."
Yaoyao nodded obediently and said softly, "I understand, brother."
After painting Yaoyao's exposed skin a khaki color, Tian An found a piece of Xiaokang's old clothes for her to change into and re-combed her hair.
Now, at first glance, she looks like an ordinary little farm girl.
As soon as he packed her up and took her out of the house, his brother Xiao Lao San pulled her over with a look of horror, looked her up and down, and then asked Tian An with red eyes, "What did you do to my sister? How did she become like this?"
Tian An rolled his eyes at him and threw the box at him. "If you don't want to be kidnapped by human traffickers again, smear everything in the box on your face and hands. Have you ever seen a country boy as delicate and tender as you?"
Yesterday, Xiao Lao San's face was covered in mud and looked like nothing, but today, after washing his face, he instantly transformed into a handsome young man. His pair of peach blossom eyes made his maids blush.
Such a person is like a searchlight in their team. She doesn't want to be stared at all the way and get into unnecessary trouble.
Last night, everyone settled in a deserted little village. When they arrived, there was no one there. This morning, when Tian An woke up, she found that several households in the village were already occupied.
Fortunately, Chunxi and the others had prepared breakfast early in the morning and even prepared dry food for several days.
Zhao Yiming assigned three people to stand guard, and then had everyone eat breakfast quickly before setting off. This was to prevent more refugees from arriving later and seeing that they had food and openly robbing it.
Soon, everyone had packed up. After Tian An carried Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, and Yaoyao onto the ox cart, Deng Xue led the ox in front, while Tian An, Zhao Yiming, and Xiao Lao San followed beside them and walked out of the yard first.
When the people outside the door saw a group of half-grown children pulling out a ox cart, their eyes lit up. Just as they were about to go forward, they saw Wu Zhuang, Liu Hui, Mr. Han and others following closely behind, and stopped again.
Seeing that the refugees were just standing there, pointing at them and whispering to each other, Tian An originally thought that they could leave the village smoothly. However, he didn't expect that as soon as the ox cart they were leading reached the village entrance, there was a noise coming from behind.
"Chen Feng..." Zhao Yiming called Chen Feng who was behind him and asked him to lead everyone to continue walking. He turned around and went back to the village.
When he arrived, a big man was holding the village chief's grandson Dacong in front of him, strangling his neck with one hand and yelling.
"Hurry up and hand over all the food, or I'll strangle this guy to death."
It turned out that just as the village chief and his companions were leaving the hospital, a tall and thin man suddenly rushed out from behind the crowd of refugees and pushed the village chief to the ground.
When Tian Gang saw his father about to fall, he hurried to help him, but the big man took advantage of the opportunity and pulled Dacong, who was sitting on the ox cart, down. By the time Dacong's mother and the village head's wife reacted, Dacong had already been kidnapped by the big man.
The village chief tried to persuade him at first: "Young man, if you have any problem, put the child down and we can discuss it."
Dacong's mother cried bitterly, "Please let my son go! He doesn't know anything."
Tian Gang also said: "Let my son go, and come to me if you have any problems."
The village chief's wife angrily scolded, "If you have the guts, go find the men! You kidnapped a child, but you're going to end up with no descendants."
Hearing this, the big man opposite laughed loudly, "I'm almost dying, why would I care about my descendants being extinct? Stop talking nonsense and quickly exchange food for people."
As he spoke, he exerted force on his hands, and Da Cong burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... Mom, Grandma, save me."
"Don't touch my grandson..." The village chief's wife burst into tears of heartache.
Taking advantage of the stalemate, Zhao Yiming pulled half a bag of grain from the oxcart and asked the others to take the oxcart away. Then he pulled the village chief and asked him to take Da Congniang and his wife away first.
The village chief's wife and Dacong's mother didn't want to leave, "Dacong is still there!"
The village chief knew that Zhao Yiming had an idea, so he almost dragged the two away by force.
The big man got anxious when he saw the people leaving. "What are you doing? Don't you want the child anymore? If you don't want him, I'll strangle him to death."
When Dacong saw his grandfather taking his grandmother and mother away, he thought that everyone didn't want him anymore, so he cried even harder, struggling with his hands and feet, and the big man almost couldn't catch him.
"The food is here. If you release the child, the food will be yours." Zhao Yiming's words attracted the big man's attention.
When the refugees gathered around heard about food, their eyes lit up. They looked at the half bag of food in front of Zhao Yiming and wished they could focus their eyes on it.
The big man did the same, but he was more cautious than the others. "Open the bag."
Zhao Yiming winked at Tian Gang, then bent down and slowly untied the rope that tied the sack.
As soon as the rope was untied, the white grain was exposed in front of everyone.
The refugees' eyes were bloodshot.
While their attention was on the food, Zhao Yiming kicked a stone on the ground with force. The stone hit the big man's hand that was holding Dacong, and he let go of his hand in pain.
Tian Gang rushed forward to catch the falling Da Cong. Zhao Yiming picked up a bamboo pole from the corner to stop him, and Tian Gang successfully carried Da Cong back.
The two men picked up the child and ran forward without looking back, regardless of the food on the ground.
The refugees were busy grabbing food on the ground and ignored them. When they came to their senses, there was no one there.
