He said that and left, leaving Su Jiaojiao extremely anxious; "Don't go, I'll give you 150 yuan when I get out..."
No one outside paid any attention to her; it was obvious she had left.
Su Jiaojiao collapsed and sat in the yard, crying uncontrollably.
"Su Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao"
Just as Su Jiaojiao was crying uncontrollably, she suddenly heard a man's voice coming from outside again.
"Brother Hu?"
The man outside said excitedly, "It's me, I've come to help you get out."
Su Jiaojiao quickly stood up from the ground; "Are you serious? Aren't you afraid he'll hit you again?"
Last time, Xiao Hu also said he would let her go. That time, they were about to run away when Xiao Hu's older brother found them. Xiao Hu and she were beaten back by the villagers.
There was silence outside for a while, and Su Jiaojiao suddenly felt like slapping herself. People had offered to help her again out of the blue.
Why would she ask such a question?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"I'm not afraid, I'm willing to do it for you."
From the first moment he saw Su Jiaojiao, he was deeply captivated by her and felt an inexplicable fondness for her, unable to bear seeing her suffer here.
Soon, Xiao Hu climbed over the wall and moved the ladder he had brought from home from outside into the yard.
"Climb up the ladder."
Su Jiaojiao climbed the ladder as Xiao Hu instructed. Once she was on top of the wall, seeing her wobbly gait, Xiao Hu laughed and said, "You sit on the wall, and I'll put the ladder back outside."
Su Jiaojiao nodded and slowly sat down by the wall.
Xiao Hu quickly got the ladder ready. He climbed down the ladder himself, then held it steady with both hands and gestured for Su Jiaojiao to come down.
After they both came out, Xiao Hu quietly took the ladder home.
Only then did he lead Su Jiaojiao toward the path he had found. Since being arrested last time, Xiao Hu had been searching for a path they didn't know.
Even if they find them this time, they won't be able to locate them.
Su Jiaojiao followed Xiao Hu along the weed-covered path. She wanted to walk faster, but she didn't have much energy. Since entering that house, she had basically been eating very thin porridge every day.
"Brother Hu, do you think we can escape this time?" If we can't escape this time, then what awaits her is an even more brutal beating.
Xiao Hu reassured them, "Don't worry, nobody in the village knows this road. Although it's a bit of a detour, I guarantee they won't find it."
Su Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Brother Hu, thank you for your help."
Xiao Hu scratched his head and said, "No need to thank me. I did it voluntarily. Besides, what they did was wrong in itself."
The two walked until dark before reaching the town. Xiao Hu escorted him to the first intersection and said, "That's enough for now! Go back quickly. Don't wander around alone anymore, lest they arrest you again."
Su Jiaojiao nodded and walked away without looking back.
She walked faster and faster, and finally started running.
She was afraid that Xiao Hu would suddenly change his mind and send her back.
She soon arrived at Yuan Shuo's house and burst into tears of joy.
He quickly knocked on the door.
A moment later, a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Su Jiaojiao cried, "It's me."
When Li Qin opened the door and saw Su Jiaojiao, she was momentarily stunned.
How did Su Jiaojiao manage to escape back? She really got off easy.
"Jiaojiao, where have you been these past few days? Do you know how worried your uncle and I have been about you?"
As he spoke, he called out to Yuan Shuo inside the house, "Old Yuan, come and see who's here."
Yuan Shuo quickly came out, and when he saw Su Jiaojiao, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
"Jiaojiao? It really is you. Where have you been all these days? Do you know how crazy I've been looking for you?"
Looking at Yuan Shuo, Su Jiaojiao began to envy Su Li for having such a good uncle.
If it were her relatives, they wouldn't take her, a little girl, seriously at all.
"Uncle, I've been kidnapped, sob sob..." she said, throwing herself into Yuan Shuo's arms.
Yuan Shuo patted her back and comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, your uncle is here."
"Come inside and talk! It won't be good if the neighbors see us."
Su Jiaojiao got out of Yuan Shuo's arms and followed him into the house.
Li Fang actually heard the sound, but she just didn't want to come out.
After that incident, she didn't want to have anything to do with Su Jiaojiao anymore.
Upon entering the main room, Yuan Shuo asked with concern, "Jiaojiao, have you had dinner yet?"
Su Jiaojiao shook her head; "No, I... I've been running away all afternoon."
She was indeed very hungry.
Li Qin smiled and said, "There are still some leftover dishes from this afternoon. I'll go heat them up. You two, uncle and nephew, can chat for a while."
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
"Jiaojiao, tell me properly, how did you get lost?"
To this day, she still doesn't know how she got targeted by those people.
She recounted the events of that day, roughly how she was arrested, just as Li Qin had finished heating up the food.
"Eat up! You must be starving!"
Su Jiaojiao found it strange that Li Qin's attitude towards her was much better this time. Before, because of Li Fang's matter, she wanted nothing more than to tear her apart.
Why is she being so enthusiastic now? Suddenly, she remembered that she had been kidnapped and trafficked, which seemed to be after that incident.
Could this matter be related to Li Qin, or is it because the author sympathized with her experience that he treated her a little better?
