So that's how it is!

Xiao Ruyu met Doctor Yang's gaze and nodded.

The middle-aged man warmly called them over and pointed to the inn in front of them.

"This inn is my property. You can rest here today."

He walked in and the waiter responded and whispered.

"Boss Wang, you are here."

Boss Wang waved his hand, pointed at the three people, and spoke loudly.

"Prepare three excellent guest rooms for these people."

"Two rooms will be enough. My daughter is young and cannot be left alone."

Doctor Yang reminded from the side with a smile on his face.

"Two then!"

Boss Wang shook his sleeves and instructed the waiter to carry the luggage upstairs.

He looked at the few people, bowed slightly, his eyes flickering.

"Rest first today. I will take you to the place where you will work tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Wang."

Doctor Yang quickly returned the greeting, exchanged a few polite words, and then led the two men into the room.

Xiao Ruyu sat down on the bed, waving her hands angrily.

[Master, this person is obviously a bad guy! ]

[Why do we still want to follow him? Aren't we just sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? ]

Doctor Yang saw that she was angry and pinched her little face.

"Master naturally knows."

He looked towards the door and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice.

"The little princess also saw that this person is a member of the cult."

"No venture, no gain. Only in this way can we penetrate the cult."

Xiao Ruyu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

[Master is right. This group of evil cult members have many bad ideas.]

【We should be more careful. 】

…

It was a dark and windy day, and the wind was blowing outside the window.

Xiao Ruyu was awakened by a burst of tiny noises. She sat up and pushed Eleven.

【Eleven, did you hear any noise? 】

Eleven woke up slowly and gradually regained consciousness.

Two dark shadows were moving outside the window, and Boss Wang's voice could be heard during the day.

"One big one comes with two small ones. You can just sell the two small ones separately."

"The men are being taken away to work as laborers, and the young ones are being looked at to see if anyone wants them."

He deliberately lowered his voice, but Xiao Ruyu had sensitive ears and heard everything he said.

Another voice sounded impatient and made two "tsk" sounds.

"It's just a big one? It's not worth much."

"Forget it, forget it. It's better to have something than nothing. Let's get these guys out of the city before it gets dark."

As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, Xiao Ruyu saw a hole in the door window.

She quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep, pulling Eleven's sleeve.

A strange aroma filled the air.

[It's an incense! Eleven, hold your breath! ]

Xiao Ruyu spoke secretly in her heart.

This incense is exactly the same as that day. Fortunately, she had developed the pills long ago.

After putting the pill under my tongue, the dizziness in my head disappeared completely.

Half an incense stick later, the door was pushed open a little.

Xiao Ruyu narrowed her eyes and watched several burly men come in and put her and Eleven into sacks.

【Eleven, are you okay? 】

In the sack, Xiao Ruyu opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.

Eleven's eyes suddenly opened and he nodded slightly.

The road was bumpy and they didn't know where they were being sent.

When it was almost dawn, the two men were released from the sack.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a thatched hut in front of me, with no one around.

Xiao Ruyu turned her head and saw that Doctor Yang had also been released from the sack.

【Master, you are here too. 】

She bared her teeth and smiled at Doctor Yang.

The matchmaker came over, pinched her chin, and looked at her carefully.

"This little girl is pretty, but she's a little too young."

After saying that, she looked Doctor Yang up and down again and praised him.

"This is good, just take it to the place."

The matchmaker waved to the people behind her, and a burly man came up and wanted to tie him up and take him away.

When Xiao Ruyu saw that they were going to take Doctor Yang away alone, her face drooped.

“Wow, wow, wow—”

The crying sound that resounded through the sky permeated the entire small thatched hut.

The matchmaker covered her ears and roared.

"Why are you crying?"

He stepped forward and wanted to cover Xiao Ruyu's mouth, but before he could do so, he heard her crying.

"My mother died a long time ago. I only have one father."

"Dad, are you going to leave me too?"

Xiao Ruyu wiped her tears and snot, crying out of breath.

"Even if I die, I will follow Dad."

"Dad, please don't abandon me."

Doctor Yang felt a little embarrassed when he saw her.

He touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, brewing his emotions.

With a "puff", Doctor Yang rushed over and hugged Xiao Ruyu.

"My daughter, how can you live without your father?"

"Please, don't separate us. I can't live without my daughter."

The corner of Eleven's mouth twitched slightly, and seeing this, he also pounced on him.

"Dad, sister..."

"Alright, alright, you're so noisy, shut up!"

The matchmaker was annoyed by the noisy chattering of several people and waved her hands impatiently.

"Since you and your daughter have such a deep affection for each other, go together."

After saying that, she turned her back and muttered to Boss Wang.

"I've seen people being sold, but I've never seen several people scrambling to be sold together."

The matchmaker took out some silver and threw it into Boss Wang's hand.

"Find more people these days. We are urged to do so."

Boss Wang nodded and bowed quickly, "Yes, yes, I will definitely keep working on it."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly without even looking at the three people.

Xiao Ruyu was put into the sack again. She used her fingers to make a hole and quietly wrote down the route.

After going around for a while, the carriage stopped in a village.

From a distance, the village seemed to be quite large, with many people guarding the gate.

The matchmaker took something out of her bosom, handed it to the guard, and easily entered the village.

The three were thrown into a yard, and there were many people around them.

The yard door was slammed shut and locked with several locks.

Xiao Ruyu looked around. The walls here had been specially reinforced, so ordinary people couldn't climb out.

There were hundreds of people in the yard, big and small, and they all looked hopeless.

A man came up to talk to me and it seemed that he had just arrived.

"Were you also sold here?"

She nodded at eleven, pretending to understand nothing, and forced a few tears.

"Where is this? Didn't they say they would bring us here to work?"

"Why did you bring it to this place?"

The man looked at the three people with pity and made two "tsk" sounds.

"It seems that you have also been deceived. This is not a place for employment at all."

Seeing that he knew more, Eleven quickly continued the conversation.

"Then where is this place, and why are we all locked up here?"

Just as the man was about to continue speaking, the yard door was suddenly pushed open.

The people in the yard seemed to have seen something extraordinary, and they screamed and fled in all directions.

"ah--"
