After observing for a while and confirming that she was really alone, the old lady winked at the man next to her, then stood up and walked towards Lin Ximan, who was still trying to get on the bus with someone's ticket.
"Child, why are you playing alone at the station? Where are your parents?" The old lady asked Lin Ximan with a kind face.
This is... Lin Ximan didn't know what she was thinking about and smiled secretly, but her face was innocent and she said: "My mother is in Lingyang, I want to go to Lingyang to find her."
"What about your father? Why does he only see you?" the old lady continued to ask worriedly.
"My father has a younger brother. I heard from my stepmother that he didn't want me anymore and asked me to go find my mother." When she said this, Lin Ximan pretended to be stubborn and bit her lips to keep the tears from flowing out.
The old lady saw that the child must be alone, and was deceived by his stepmother. Judging from his clothes, the child's family must be well-off and he must have been spoiled at home, which is why he has developed such an innocent appearance.
So the stepmother didn't dare to do it, and just tricked the man into running away. If anything happened outside, it would have nothing to do with her, and this made it easier for her to do it.
"Then do you have a letter of introduction? Have you bought a train ticket? Without these things, they won't let you get on the train." She is good at scaring children.
"Ah! I don't have it. What should I do? I can't go find my mother. Wuuuuu." Lin Ximan's face showed anxiety. She was using all her life's acting skills.
"Oh, don't cry, child. How about this, if you really want to find your mother, I will take you there. Just follow me in the car." The old lady hugged Lin Ximan pretending to be distressed. She didn't expect to make money right after leaving her hometown.
"Really? Thank you grandma, you are so nice." Lin Ximan clapped her hands happily. They each got what they wanted. Lin Ximan would follow her, of course, on the premise that she really went to Lingyang.
Soon the ticket gate started checking tickets, and this time it was the train to Lingyang. The old lady held her hand and followed the crowd to check tickets, and Lin Ximan didn't make a fuss and followed her obediently to get on the train.
It takes two days and one night to take a train from Pingyuan City to Lingyang City. The smell on the train is really indescribable. Anyway, she swore that she would never sit in a hard seat on a train again.
She ate and drank as she pleased along the way, the old lady always paid for it. Although the food was not delicious, it was not too bad either, as people in their line of work all had money.
When the old lady told others that she was her granddaughter, she didn't say much and was very cooperative. The old lady was also very confident in her and did not give her any medicine.
They arrived at Lingyang Station at around nine o'clock in the evening. After getting off the train, the old lady did not pretend to be a good person and asked her if she knew her mother's address. Instead, she took her directly to a large courtyard in the suburbs.
On the way, they met a middle-aged man who was holding a child in his arms. They couldn't tell how old the child was, but from their conversation they knew that the child was also abducted from the train.
After arriving at the compound, Lin Ximan pretended to ask the old lady: "Grandma, when will you take me to see my mother?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Grandma has something to do these two days. I will take you to see your mother in two days."
The fake innocent Lin Ximan smiled at the fake kind old lady and said, "Thank you, grandma." The two liars laughed happily at each other, but no one knew who would have the last laugh.
She was taken to a basement where there were already seven or eight children, all in a coma. At this moment, a towel with a pungent smell covered her mouth and nose.
She immediately sank her consciousness into the space, so that her body would fall into a coma, and these people would be relieved.
Before she entered the space, she smelled some scent of drugs, so she was unconscious for a while in the space.
After she regained consciousness, she returned to her body, but still closed her eyes and listened carefully to the movements outside.
Only after the footsteps outside completely disappeared did she open her eyes, slowly sit up, and look around the basement.
She took out the night vision glasses from the space and put them on. This was what she found in an outdoor goods store in her previous life. She saw children lying all over the ground. Judging from their body shapes, the oldest of these children was about her age, and the youngest was only two or three years old.
She quietly got up and walked to the door and listened carefully, but fortunately there was no sound. She then began to look at the door in front of her. It was a wooden door, the kind of door she had seen on TV, with a lock on the outside. Just as she reached out to touch the lock, footsteps were heard from far away.
Lin Ximan stopped all her movements and quietly walked back to where she had been lying just now. As soon as she closed her eyes, she heard the sound of a lock being unlocked.
Two men walked in, saying as they walked, "This is a good time. The weather is warmer, so more people will come out and there will be more goods. Tomorrow, the people on Qiangzi's line will be back, and we will be able to ship goods the day after tomorrow. It's a good thing to have such a harvest at the beginning of the year. Hahaha!" The two men stood here for a while, probably to put the child down, right? Soon, the two men walked out again.
"There will be another group of people coming back tomorrow? The goods will be shipped the day after tomorrow, so she can't do anything now. Let's talk about it tomorrow night.
The next day, the children in the basement woke up one after another, crying loudly. Lin Ximan also pretended to cry and look for her mother.
Soon a strong man came in from outside the door. He raised his hand and slapped the boy closest to him. The boy's face was visibly swollen.
"Why are you crying? If you keep crying, I'll skin you alive!" Apparently his threat worked. All the children stopped howling and started sobbing softly instead.
The man left, leaving behind a small basket of steamed bread and a small jar of water. The children in front must have not eaten for a long time, so they rushed forward to grab the steamed bread and ate it up voraciously.
The children behind were too slow to grab the food, so they could only drink water, while Lin Ximan sat in the corner without moving, neither eating nor drinking. She didn't know if there were drugs in the food, so she had to be careful.
Soon her guess was verified, and the children fell to the ground and fainted again. Lin Ximan also leaned against the wall and fainted. When the people outside heard that there was no sound inside, they came in and took the things away.
Qiangzi should be back in the afternoon, because there are seven more unconscious children here. From what these people said, they want to load them onto the truck and ship them out in the middle of the night, so she has to act in advance.
