As it turned out, her luck was really bad. Out of five copper coins, only one was the tail side.
He could only watch helplessly as the stall owner put the five taels of silver into his sleeve.
The stall owner was smiling, clearly in high spirits having earned five taels of silver. "Miss, do you want to try again?"
Xue Huan took a look at the Qiongqi lantern and felt more and more itchy. She thought about just spending five taels of silver to buy it. If she continued to try, she might lose again.
Pei Ji threw another ingot of silver over, "Hanhuan, let me do it this time." He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I will definitely help you win that Qiongqi lantern."
Xue Huan made way for him. Since the child wanted to perform, she naturally couldn't discourage his enthusiasm.
Pei Ji grabbed the copper coin and threw it casually onto the table.
Xue Huan took a look and saw that all four were tails! The last one was still spinning rapidly on the table, turning for a long time without stopping, which made people anxious and wanted to knock it over directly.
Finally, it slowed down.
Xue Huan kept repeating in her mind: Rebel! Rebel! Rebel!
Finally the coin fell down, and when I looked, it was indeed the reverse!
"Hahaha, we won!" She grabbed Pei Ji's arm and cheered.
Seeing how happy she was, Pei Ji couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his long arm, took down the Qiongqi lantern, and handed it to her, "Hanhuan, here."
Xue Huan happily took the lantern in her hand and turned to ask her younger siblings, "Jun'er and A'yao, do you have any lanterns you like? Let A'kang help you win them back."
When the stall owner heard this, his face froze, and he immediately thought that this young man had just won because he was lucky. He couldn't be lucky enough to roll a "pure" number every time, right?
However, Pei Ji's subsequent performance almost made him drop his eyes in shock.
Three times in a row, he rolled "pure"!
Seeing Pei Ji take away three more lanterns, the stall owner felt so painful that he didn't even bother to eat the delicious food. He put down the bowl and rubbed his chest, watching Xue Huan and the others leave happily, each holding a lantern.
This time I met a powerful character, and I suffered a great loss!
"The dragon dancers are coming!"
"Wow! What a huge dragon!"
“Look!”
Straw bundles were tied into the shape of two dragons playing with a pearl, and countless candles were densely placed on them. As the dragon dancer waved the dragons, the two "fire" dragons twisted and turned, spun and flew, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.
Wherever the "fire dragon" danced, people followed. Xue Huan's family, who were originally standing on the street watching, were involuntarily swept into the crowd and separated from each other.
When the fire dragon passed, Xue Huan suddenly heard Xue Yao scream, "Jun'er is gone!"
Xue Huan's heart skipped a beat and she looked around hurriedly.
Mother Xue was extremely panicked and kept calling out, "Jun'er? Jun'er?"
Xue Huan's spiritual sense spread out and she quickly scanned the surroundings, but she couldn't find her sister. She thought of the rumors she had heard in the past - that during festivals, human traffickers would be particularly rampant and would take the opportunity to prey on children and girls on the street.
Could it be that Jun'er was abducted by human traffickers during the chaos?
"I'll go look around!" Xue Yao hurriedly ran in one direction.
"Ayao!" Xue's mother wanted to call him, but Xue Yao ran too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xue Huan held her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry. Jun'er will be fine. We can't lose our composure first. Mom, take Akang back first. I will definitely bring Jun'er back."
She shook Pei Ji's hand and turned to leave.
After releasing the scent-seeking bee, Xue Huan followed it and disappeared around the corner in an instant.
She had taken the opportunity to collect a drop of blood from each family member and fed it to different scent-seeking bees. The scent-seeking bees that drank the blood were like marking the owner of the blood, allowing them to accurately locate that person even from a distance.
Of course, the distance cannot be infinite. If it is too far, the scent-seeking bees will not be able to find the trace.
The closer the distance, the faster the scent-seeking bees can find it.
Xue Jun disappeared not long ago. If she was indeed kidnapped, then that group of people must not have gone far.
In addition, she prepared self-defense talismans for everyone in the family, and Xue Jun naturally had one on her body, so it was unlikely that external force could hurt her. The only concern was that she would be frightened and become ill.
Although she is no different from a normal person now, the root cause of her illness has not been eliminated. If the external stimulation is too great, it is very likely that her illness will relapse!
Thinking of this, Xue Huan's pace became faster, like a gust of wind passing by quickly. Before others could even see her clearly, she had already disappeared from their sight.
A few minutes later, Xue Huan chased the bee to the back of a sedan chair. Xue Jun was in the sedan chair at the moment, but he was in a coma.
As for the two people carrying the sedan chair, it goes without saying that they are definitely human traffickers!
Xue Huan flashed into the space, drove the Five Elements Beads through the gap in the curtains of the sedan chair, and took Xue Jun into the space. At the same time, she took out a stone that was almost as heavy as Xue Jun and pressed it into the sedan chair, performing an illusion to turn the stone into the appearance of Xue Jun.
Even if the traffickers outside lifted the curtain to check, they wouldn't notice anything amiss. Of course, if they made contact, they would be exposed.
So she had to rush back before the two human traffickers arrived at the hideout.
Xue Huan went to a secluded place and released Xue Jun, then took her home, handed her over to Xue's mother, and briefly told her what had happened, of course, in an embellished version.
"Mom, I have to go back and bust all those human traffickers."
"Huan'er..." How could Xue's mother be willing to see her take risks again?
"Mother, my daughter is very capable. Don't worry. Look, I rescued Jun'er quickly, didn't I?"
Xue Huan comforted Xue's mother with a few words, and worried that the two human traffickers carrying the sedan chair would arrive at the hideout, so she immediately left the house.
Xue Huan went back and forth extremely quickly. When she returned, the two human traffickers were still walking on the road. She hid her body and followed quietly behind them.
The two men looked ordinary and unremarkable. They carried the sedan chair through the streets and alleys and headed in a certain direction in broad daylight. There was no sign of guilt on their faces.
As expected of a human trafficker, he has a very strong psychological quality.
Finally, the two men carried the sedan chair to a small courtyard. The courtyard looked like an ordinary house from the outside, but it was not ordinary inside. In the small woodshed, there were more than a dozen children, all of whom were young girls, ranging in age from eight or nine to eleven or twelve.
Human traffickers kidnap people for money. According to the concepts of this era, boys are definitely more valuable than girls. However, all the people kidnapped here are girls. Is there some unspeakable secret hidden in this?
After the two human traffickers carrying the sedan came in, Xue Huan knocked them all out along with several people guarding the yard, leaving only one person to question.
Under the effect of the truth talisman, the trafficker revealed everything he knew.
"How many of you are there?"
"Eight."
There were five people in the yard, and three of them were outside and had not returned. It seemed that this group of human traffickers knew how to divide the work and cooperate, and were waiting in different places.
"Why do you target young girls?"
