Fu Zhenhua responded and walked towards Hu Wanshan.
Even the complete darkness of the night couldn't conceal the murderous aura emanating from him. Upon seeing this, Hu Wanshan instinctively wanted to stand up and run away, but he forgot that one of his legs was bitten by Da Huang and was bleeding profusely, while the other had been kicked off by Fang Min.
The excruciating pain when he got up caused him to fall heavily to the ground again. Fu Mancang was momentarily nervous when he saw him trying to run away, but he couldn't help but laugh at his leg.
“Brother Zhenhua, come on, I’ll help you hold him back.”
"No need, I can do it myself."
After Fu Zhenhua finished speaking, he grabbed Hu Wanshan by the back of his neck by the collar.
Hu Wanshan struggled but couldn't break free, and seeing Fu Zhenhua's murderous look, he panicked instantly.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"What kind of human life are you taking? I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"
Fu Zhenhua seemed not to hear him, grabbing his collar and dragging him to the tree next to him like a dead dog.
Fu Mancang clicked his tongue twice and replied loudly, "Alright, alright, I'll find the police for you!"
"You little brat, just you wait, or you'll die!"
The police will definitely be called, but before they arrive, he'll have to obediently take a beating from Fu Zhenhua.
Who told him to try and kidnap someone's daughter? He deserves it. Human traffickers deserve to die!
While the men handled the aftermath, Fu Wan, Fu Ling, Aunt Qian, and their group went home.
Aunt Qian was still holding her own basin of water in her hand. Seeing the tears that hadn't dried on Fu Honghong's face, Aunt Qian felt very sorry for her.
"Oh dear, Red Girl, you've had such bad luck lately. First you fell into the sea, and now you've run into kidnappers..."
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Huang tugged at her arm.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'bad luck'!"
Didn't you see that Fu Honghong's mother, Xu Mei, had a dark expression?
"Hong girl, this is called... this is called surviving a great calamity and being blessed with good fortune. Speaking of which, Xu Mei, your family should also thank Awan's family. If they hadn't come over, Honghong would definitely have been kidnapped by that kidnapper!"
"Yeah, it was Awan last time too, and that dog too, wow, that big yellow dog is amazing!"
Liu San Niang agreed and chimed in. She really adored Da Huang; it was such a smart dog, almost like a person.
Fu Wan waved her hand, about to speak, when Xu Mei grabbed her arm.
"Ah Wan, the aunties are right. You saved Hong Hong again today. Thank you so much!"
Xu Mei spoke with heartfelt sincerity. After finishing, she put Fu Honghong down from her back and made her kowtow to Fu Wan and Da Huang.
Fu Wan couldn't possibly let Fu Honghong kowtow to her, so she quickly helped her up.
"What are you doing, sister-in-law? The child has just experienced such a fright, don't scare her any further."
Take her home for dinner quickly, and let her get a good night's sleep.
After saying that, she patted Fu Honghong's little head and said, "Honghong, we've caught all the bad guys and handed them over to the police. Listen to your aunt, don't be afraid, and don't think about it anymore!"
Fu Honghong sniffed and nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'm a strong and good girl, I'm not afraid at all!"
"Yes, we are all strong and good children! Honghong, if there are any bad guys in the future, let's fight them together!"
Fu Ling clenched her fist, and Qin Mingzhu nodded in agreement. Seeing her daughter's spirits improve after watching the interaction between the children, Xu Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, she will never let her daughter out of her sight!
Before long, the onlookers all went home. Since Fu Wan and Xu Mei's families lived close by, they ended up being the only two of them and their children left as they walked.
"The Zhenhua family, the Zhenhua family!"
Just as Fu Wan reached the courtyard gate, Liu San Niang's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Liu San Niang hesitated for two minutes before chasing after them.
"Ah Wan hasn't gone back either."
"Yes, I was just about to go inside. Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I just remembered something I wanted to tell Zhenhua's family. I wonder if you young people will think we're superstitious."
Fu Wan listened with curiosity, and Xu Mei quickly spoke up as well.
"No, no, how could I possibly look down on you, Auntie?"
Liu Sanniang is the wife of Old Village Chief Fu, and when she speaks, half the villagers have to listen to her obediently.
"Here's the thing, I think Honghong must have been frightened again today. If she cries tonight, take her to stand in the rice jar."
"Call her by name when you're standing there. Also, remember to talk to Zhenhua about taking the child to the Mazu Temple to pray sometime. Honghong has really suffered a lot lately; let her kowtow to Mazu a few times, and maybe Mazu will protect her a bit in the future!"
Liu San Niang said these words entirely out of good intentions, and Fu Wan nodded in agreement.
We should indeed kowtow to Goddess Mazu. It's quite possible that Fu Honghong's escape from danger several times was due to Goddess Mazu's protection.
Fu Wan dared not take all the credit for herself; she was certain that Mazu had also blessed her in getting to where she was today.
Seeing that Fu Wan also agreed, Xu Mei nodded hurriedly.
“Auntie, you’re right. I’ll have Zhenhua take Honghong to the Mazu Temple tomorrow.”
After thinking for a moment, she changed her mind and said, "No, our whole family will go and kowtow to the Goddess Mazu!"
"Alright, alright, it's the right thing to do. Once Mazu senses your sincerity, she will surely bless Honghong with peace and good fortune from now on!"
After Liu San Niang finished speaking, she went back. Fu Wan also pushed open her own courtyard gate and went in. Ye Xiao Cui was listening to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu embellishing the story of what had just happened.
Upon learning that the peddler exchanging candy was a human trafficker, Ye Xiaocui was so frightened that she jumped to her feet.
Thank goodness, Fu Wan went with the children at the time, otherwise how could a few children have dealt with an adult who was drugged?
"Those damned human traffickers deserve to be torn to pieces and shot!"
Ye Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that all the children who had suffered had been rescued.
It took Robert a while to understand what had happened.
"Wan, why would someone steal a child?"
This was the first time he had ever heard of someone daring to drug a child and take him away in broad daylight.
This question made Fu Wan pause, thinking, "Damn it, I'm going to embarrass myself in front of my foreign friends."
However, the 1980s and 1990s, and even into the 2000s, were the periods with the most human trafficking incidents in China.
"Because they are heartless and want to make money by trafficking children, this behavior is extremely heinous and our country is cracking down on it severely."
This situation exists not only in our country, but also in many other countries.
"No, Wan, such a thing doesn't happen in our country."
Tom was a little smug, but Jack was the first to deny it.
"You're wrong, Tom. We have them in our country."
After saying that, he also mentioned the human trafficking cases he knew about in the United States.
Unlike China, human trafficking in the United States does not rely entirely on violent kidnapping; it uses more psychological manipulation, debt threats, or emotional blackmail.
However, the majority of those trafficked are women and children. To be precise, the methods of human trafficking in the United States are more secretive and complex than those in China.
