Little Stone quickly noticed that the middle-aged couple looked exactly like the wanted poster he had just seen.
He remembered clearly that the wanted posters clearly stated that the bounty on each of the two individuals was as high as several hundred thousand.
He also noticed that there was a burlap sack at the feet of the two men.
The bag was small, but it was bulging with contents.
"After a long day of hard work, we finally got a bag of 'soft gold.' This job is getting harder and harder these days," Wang Dashan complained to Wang Cuiyin beside him.
"Female ewes are easier to sell. If you send them to the mountains, all the bachelors love them and will rush to pay you!"
"Things are getting tense right now, and business isn't as easy as it used to be. It's best to be careful. Otherwise, if you get caught, your life will be completely over!"
"After finishing today's order, I'll take a break. There's no rush."
Little Stone listened silently and slowly approached the middle-aged couple.
At that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed him.
Unlike the cold, lifeless hands of other ghosts, the hand that was holding him felt exceptionally warm.
He turned his head and saw Song Mian under the moonlight.
"Little Stone, what are you doing?" Keeping her voice very low, Song Mian also noticed the man and woman not far away.
She vaguely sensed that the man and woman were dressed very simply, and there were no other young people around them. They seemed out of place in the entire amusement park. Song Mian was immediately drawn to the blood-red smoke surrounding the two of them.
The blood-red smoke seemed to be alive, constantly swirling around the man and woman, making Song Mian feel a strong sense of nausea.
Even when she had touched the resentment surrounding the ghosts before, she had never felt such a strong sense of discomfort. Song Mian subconsciously felt that these two people were not to be trifled with.
Before the middle-aged couple could notice her, Song Mian grabbed Xiao Shitou and tried to leave.
"Sister, we can't leave! Look, there's a person in that bag!" Little Stone grabbed Song Mian and pointed to the bag at their feet.
The hemp rope bag, which was only half a meter tall, was casually piled up at his feet, and it really did look like a little person curled up inside.
Immediately recalling the various news reports about human traffickers she had seen recently, Song Mian subconsciously took out her phone to call the police.
But just then, her phone rang!
The piercing ringtone suddenly spread through the darkness, and Song Mian's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She hurriedly tried to hang up, but accidentally pressed the answer button.
Qi Yefeng's voice immediately came from inside: "Boss Song, I'm out of the haunted house. Where did you and the other ghosts go?"
"Who's hiding there?" Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Dashan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He then threw his cigarette butt on the ground and headed directly towards Song Mian's location.
Song Mian hurriedly hung up the phone, her hand trembled, and the phone fell directly to the ground.
Wang Dashan's footsteps grew closer and closer; he only had a few seconds left to rush over and grab her!
Song Mian's heart pounded like a drum. After steeling her resolve, she turned and ran.
In just a few dozen seconds, Wang Dashan found the still-glowing cell phone in the forest at top speed.
It was a phone with a pink kitten desktop background, and even the phone case was a soft, fragrant pink. You could tell at a glance that it was a girl's phone.
"Sis, I've got something." As Wang Dashan spoke, an undisguised greed gleamed in his eyes as he carefully searched his surroundings.
Hiding behind a large tree, Song Mian was extremely nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
Holy crap, this couple in front of me doesn't look like good people at all!
Realizing this, Song Mian instinctively wanted to escape.
But as soon as she moved her foot slightly, she accidentally crushed a dry twig on the ground.
With a snap, Song Mian's face turned deathly pale.
"Hehe, found it." Wang Dashan and Wang Cuiyin, who had just arrived, looked at each other and laughed. He rolled up his sleeves and approached Song Mian with a sinister grin. "I was just worried about not having any big goods coming to my door, and now a two-legged sheep has walked right into my trap. Little girl, eavesdropping comes at a price."
Song Mian's breathing became more and more rapid, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she listened to Wang Dashan's footsteps gradually approaching.
The man was only five meters away from her!
Just as her heart was about to leap out of her chest, a small figure walked past her.
"Uncle." Little Stone, dressed in milk-colored pajamas, suddenly felt a pang of curiosity and looked at Wang Dashan. "Uncle, I'm lost. Can you help me find my mom?"
Under the moonlight, Song Mian discovered that Xiao Shitou's soul had become much more solidified. At this moment, his pair of watery eyes were bright and pure, making him look just like a lost and bewildered child.
However, if you look closely, you'll notice that the little stone's feet are actually floating in the air and not touching the ground.
Moreover, and most importantly, Little Stone has no shadow!
Knowing that Xiao Shitou had stepped forward to protect her, Song Mian glanced at the burlap sack not far away.
Gritting her teeth, she quietly approached the sack not far away.
The little stone had completely captivated Wang Dashan and Wang Cuiyin.
"Big sister, it's a tiny little thing." Wang Dashan looked the little stone up and down, his eyes scanning it like it was a piece of merchandise. "Little friend, I'm a good person. Come with me, I'll take you to find your mother!"
Wang Cui stood aside with her arms crossed and sneered when she saw that Wang Dashan was actually using such nonsense to deceive children.
"Really? Uncle, you can't lie to me, or you'll be punished!" Little Stone said, already reaching out his little hand to Wang Dashan.
"Of course..." Wang Dashan agreed perfunctorily, but shuddered the moment he grabbed Xiao Shitou's little hand.
Why are this little kid's hands so cold, like they're frozen solid?
Wang Dashan glanced at Xiao Shitou with a puzzled look, but when he looked up, he was surprised to see Song Mian not far away.
Song Mian had already picked up the burlap sack that was on the ground.
"Sis, there's one more!"
Hearing the reprimands coming from beside her, Song Mian picked up the sack and ran out.
Just as she shouldered the sack, Song Mian unexpectedly heard a businesslike voice from the system in her mind.
[The ghostly pebble helps good deeds succeed, merit +1]
This was the first time Song Mian had heard such a system announcement, and her eyes were full of doubt.
But now is not the time to dwell on these details!
Behind her came the shouts and curses of Wang Dashan and Wang Cuiyin, but Song Mian ignored them completely. She just carried the sack on her back and used all her strength to try to run out of the grove.
As long as she can leave the woods and see other people, she will try to call the police!
