When the villagers behind heard that Lin Guoqing was shouting "police officers", they started yelling.
"Comrade Public Security, there really are human traffickers!"
"Have you caught that human trafficker? Don't let him get away! We have so many children!"
"That's right! If you have any accomplices or anything, don't miss them!"
"Who is that human trafficker? Is he from our village? There are human traffickers right outside our house! I can't sleep at night!"
…
Lao Liu turned around to comfort everyone,
"Don't worry, everyone. There is a human trafficker, but he's already been detained at the Public Security Bureau. Based on the information we have so far, he has no accomplices. If we find any further leads, we will definitely follow up."
But as for the children at home, we still need to communicate with them properly. Don’t linger on the way to and from school, don’t eat food from strangers, and don’t go with strangers...”
Lin Guoqing suspected that Lao Liu knew something. It might have been Chen Xiasheng who told him, or the children. Well, it might have been the second oldest brother who told him. Anyway, he didn't say anything else in front of the villagers and directly turned the topic to safety precautions.
Everyone felt relieved when they heard the traffickers had been caught. Looking at the two Lin brothers up ahead, they were both fine, having returned in a car. Everyone was ready to make some jokes.
"Oh my, it's a good deal to be able to take a car back."
"What nonsense are you talking about! The child almost died! I'd rather not take this car!"
"That's fine, isn't it? Who would want to take a ride when there's nothing wrong and for no reason?"
…
"Okay, National Day, we'll go home and eat first. Call us if you need anything."
Chen Jinshui's family led the way back, and the others followed suit. After a day of planting rice and running for such a long distance, they were all hungry!
Lin Guoqing thanked them repeatedly, walked them a few steps, and then turned back to look for Lao Liu and the children.
Lin Shuchao had already hidden behind his brother, shouting that he had done a good deed and was a hero. Lin Shuchao sighed helplessly, and Shen Chunhua was so angry that she wanted to curse again.
"Public Security Liu, what on earth is going on?"
"Haha, this is what happened..."
Today, the third son of the Lin family took his sponsors home to watch TV as usual after school. As a result, as soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw a lame man in shabby but neat clothes coming up to him, saying that he was his uncle and that he had held him in his arms when he was a child. He asked him if he remembered him.
Lin Shuchao felt like this guy was taking him for granted. How young was he? One? Two? Three? He said he couldn't remember. And how could someone say they held you when you were born? Even if he was his biological uncle, his mother never mentioned him during the holidays. What did that mean?
It means the relationship is not good.
He didn't really want to pay attention to this person. Although his mother always said that he was unhygienic, the man who claimed to be his uncle had hair that looked combed but still messy. He had a strange smell that came from not taking a bath for years. Even the cotton coat he wore looked neat but couldn't block the smell.
"How can you be so rude, kid! Didn't your mother teach you to call people?" Shen Xiasheng got a little anxious when he saw him leaving, and blurted out, "I think your sister is definitely more polite than you!"
This is a very interesting thing to say.
Lin Shuchao just doesn't like studying, but he's not stupid. He's 11 years old, in the first grade of junior high school, and he's a bit of a slacker, but he understands everything he needs to know.
What? This guy meant that if I ignored him, he would go to Shumei?
So why was he looking for me instead of Shumei? Oh, because the elementary school was in the village, and he'd be too conspicuous if he went in? But if I ignored him, he'd always find a way to catch Shumei, right?
In a split second, Lin Shuchao's brain had been thinking countless times. If his head teacher saw inside his brain, he would probably sigh and say, "I wish you could think that fast when you study!"
Lin Shuchao quickly moved on to another level from Shen Xiasheng's two sentences.
In recent years, his family's conditions have been better than many others, and everyone can see it. He even wears new clothes from time to time, instead of the ones his brother gave him because they couldn't fit in them anymore. People often come to his house with gifts to talk to his father about things, and he'll also give them candy.
What does this mean? It means his family is profitable.
Isn't this guy the kind of villain in a martial arts movie who wants to kidnap the young master of a wealthy family and then ask for a ransom?
Then the protagonist lets out a few laughs, knocks the villain away, rescues the hostage, and then righteously refuses the huge sum of money offered by the hostage's parents! He becomes a hero praised by everyone!
So you or your sister will become the kidnapped hostage and wait for the protagonist to rescue you?
What if someone is blinded by money and takes the money?
Lin Shuchao felt that he had to save this money for his parents, after all, making money was not easy.
Besides, why couldn't he be the protagonist? Maybe he could become a hero and be given a fortune!
The boy, already on the brink of middle school, had recently watched too much TV and had crossed that threshold prematurely. Full of confidence and ambition for his own life, he tilted his head and called out "Uncle."
Then he said he was hungry after a day of school and was rushing home to eat.
Uncle Chen Xiasheng grinned happily, "Uncle will take you to eat!"
Then Lin Shuchao let his classmates go first, but he didn't follow Shen Xiasheng directly. Instead, he ordered the dishes. He said he wanted to eat noodle soup and didn't want to eat anything else.
Chen Xiasheng is from the next county, and usually gambles and plays games there, or goes to the provincial capital. He is not familiar with this place, and God knows where to find noodles!
Now he just wanted to quickly take this little bastard away from the school, and wait until there were fewer people around before beating him with a stick and putting him in a sack.
Lin Shuchao was also stubborn, "You just said you were my uncle! You wanted to buy me food! And you didn't even give me a bowl of noodles!"
"How would I know where it is?"
"I know, I'll take you there!" Lin Shuchao grinned, then pulled Shen Xiasheng up and ran away.
An 11-year-old boy, with all his limbs intact and full of energy, was running around the village pulling a middle-aged man who was limping and didn't know if he would have a meal in a day.
Chen Xiasheng stumbled forward as he was dragged along, feeling incredibly miserable. This kid just ran where there were a lot of people, so he didn't even have a chance to pick up a stone.
Forget it, just bear with it!
Chen Xiasheng touched the coins in his pocket and thought, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. At worst, I can spend money to feed this kid first, so he will trust me a little more. Maybe it will be easier to kill him when it's dark and there are fewer people around."
Why is this road so far?! Haven’t you reached it yet?
