Chapter 267 The Child Was Kidnapped
Little Fubao was held by Wan Laoer. She saw the candied haws early in the morning and insisted on getting down. Wan Laoer couldn't hold her. Besides, there was a grocery store in front of them and Wan Laoda had already walked in.
"Second brother, this place really has potatoes, come and take a look."
Boss Wan's surprised voice came from the grocery store.
"Daddy, I want to go find my brothers. Put me down. I want to go over there to buy some candied haws."
Little Fubao watched his brothers all around the candied haws, and Wanhu was already taking out money to buy some. When they came out, Shen gave each child a few cents and let them buy their own delicious food.
Seeing that they were not far away, Wan Lao Er put Xiao Fubao down and said to Wan Lao Tai, "Mom, the children are going to buy candied haws. You and your sister-in-law can keep an eye on them. I'll go in and take a look. My eldest brother said that this shop sells potatoes."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll watch over them outside. It's okay."
Old Mrs. Wan greeted Old Second Wan and walked towards Xiao Fubao.
Only then did Wan Laoer feel at ease and enter the grocery store.
Seeing that Old Lady Wan was always tapping her back from time to time, Shen guessed that she was shaken too much by the car ride yesterday, so she went forward to support her.
"Mom, do you feel a little sore in your back?" Shen asked with concern, gently tapping Old Lady Wan's back.
"Yes, I'm old and can't ride in a bullock cart. My waist and back hurt from the shaking. I didn't get enough rest last night, so I still feel some pain today. It's nothing serious. Don't worry. I'll go back and rest for a few days and I'll be fine."
Of course Shen knew how it felt. The land at the border was all loess lumps, especially after a rain and snow. The originally muddy road was dried by the sun, and there were many uneven lumps of yellow mud on the ground. When a wheel ran over them, it could damage a person's internal organs. It was really not easy for Old Lady Wan to come out at such an old age.
"Mom, I'll give you a massage when you get home later. Don't take the ox cart. I'll ask Uncle Hu to take you in a horse carriage. The carriage is paved with soft mattresses so you can sit more comfortably. We have the conditions now, so you don't have to suffer."
Shen really felt sorry for Old Lady Wan. After all, during the time when she was recuperating at the Wan family, Old Lady Wan was sincere to her, and she treated her as her mother from the bottom of her heart.
"Why bother? I'm not that precious. I'm strong and healthy. I just have some minor problems that will heal in a few days. Let's go and see what the kids bought."
Old Mrs. Wan looked at little Fubao surrounded by his brothers. She tilted her head and pointed at a bunch of red hawthorns, eager to eat it.
"This girl is just a greedy monkey. She can't move her feet when she sees food."
"All children are like this. Fubao likes to eat it. I will buy a few more strings to take back later. They won't melt in cold weather and can be kept for several days."
Shen supported Old Lady Wan and slowly approached.
Suddenly, two figures flashed past the two of them and ran towards Xiao Fubao. One man was holding Wan Hu, and the other man was holding Xiao Fubao. They disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
Old Lady Wan was stunned for a moment, then she shouted, "Fubao, Lao Er, Lao Da, hurry up, Fubao has been taken away."
After Mrs. Wan finished shouting, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen had been holding her hand and caught her.
Old Mrs. Wan shouted so loudly that the second and the first brothers immediately came out of the grocery store.
"Mom! What happened?" Wan Laoer looked for Xiao Fubao in panic, but he didn't see him. He only saw a few children left, and didn't see Wan Hu.
"Second uncle, the human trafficker, kidnapped my sister and ran in that direction."
Wan Xi was the oldest and reacted the fastest. He quickly pointed in a direction towards Wan Lao Er.
The eldest brother Wan followed the second brother Wan and chased out. He saw that Old Mrs. Wan had fainted, and he didn't see Xiao Fubao and Wan Hu, so he felt panic-stricken.
"Wife, where are Huzi and Xiao Fubao?"
"They were kidnapped by human traffickers and ran over there. Go chase them quickly. They can't run fast while holding a child."
Shen supported Old Mrs. Wan, feeling anxious, but she couldn't go after him, so she asked Boss Wan to go quickly.
The second Wan Lao had already chased after him, and the first Wan Lao hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get mother and the children home. I'll go after them."
"Why."
After Boss Wan finished speaking, he also dived into the crowd.
"Madam, your child just took a string of candied haws and hasn't paid for it yet. Please settle the bill."
The man who bought the candied haws felt a little embarrassed when looking at Shen, but after all, he was a small businessman and a string of candied haws cost two cents, so what he earned was just the reward for his hard work.
Wan Xi handed over the money in his hand without waiting for Shen to speak.
The candied haws seller took the money and quickly ran away because he didn't want to cause any trouble.
At this time, Xiao Fubao was held by a man, and Wan Hu was also held behind him. Both of their mouths were covered tightly. Wan Hu kept twisting his body. After he came to the border, his life had improved greatly, and he could eat well. Now he was very strong. The man couldn't hold him for a while. The man narrowed his eyes and chopped Wan Hu's neck with a knife.
Wan Hu only felt a pain in his neck and then he fell into a coma.
Little Fubao felt very uncomfortable being covered, and the other person's hands smelled so bad. She frowned unhappily and looked at the person holding her with her big eyes full of confusion.
At this time, the two men happened to arrive at an alley where a green cloth carriage was parked. The two men got on the carriage quickly.
"Heisan, you look after the child. I'll go and catch the carriage. It seems that the family is about to catch up with us. We can't stay in the county town for long. We have to send the people to the provincial capital as soon as possible. The master is short of this pretty little girl. We are really lucky to come out this time. We can bump into such a pretty girl at once. The master will definitely be satisfied this time."
"Okay, Hei Si, stop talking nonsense and hurry up to catch the car. It will be difficult for us to move forward soon."
Heisan kicked Wanhu, who was lying on the floor of the carriage, again, with a glimmer of greed in his eyes. Although the kid was not very good-looking, he had a good body and could be sold for a good price.
After Hei San went out, Hei Si finally let go of Xiao Fubao's mouth, but he took out a bundle of ropes and a handkerchief.
"Uncle, do you know me? Why did you carry me and run away? I haven't told Dad yet, he will be worried."
Seeing that the little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, and didn't show any shyness, Hei Si threw the rope in his hand to the ground and coaxed her with a smile: "Little girl, of course uncle knows you. I've also told your father that uncle will take you to the capital to stay for two days. Then your father will come to find us and take you back."
"Really? What is Fucheng? Can it be eaten?" Little Fubao tilted his head and looked at Heisi, blinking his big eyes and asked crisply.
Xiao Fubao's words made Hei Si laugh out loud, and then he found out that the little girl was a foodie.
"The city is a place where you can't eat, but there are a lot of delicious food in the city, much better than in the county town."
"Is there any delicious braised pork? Is it as good as the one made by my third aunt?"
"Yes, of course. It's much more delicious than what your third aunt cooks." Hei Si felt that this little girl was too easy to fool, so he didn't want to tie her up anymore. Unlike other girls, if they were tied up they would have to be knocked unconscious, otherwise they would cry so hard that your ears would hurt.
"Wow, that's great, but I still have to say goodbye to daddy, otherwise what if he can't find us? Can you let me say goodbye to daddy?" After saying this, Xiao Fubao looked at Wanhu lying on the ground.
"Uncle, what happened to my brother Huzi? Why did he fall asleep?"
"Your brother Huzi was too sleepy, so he fell asleep. He will wake up when we reach the capital city."
Hei Si was already thinking that this mission was going so smoothly. He was finally able to complete the mission and get a large bonus. He had even decided to go to Wanhua Tower to have a good time for a few days. He wanted to keep the courtesan for a month.
Hei Si's saliva was watering just thinking about it.
The carriage moved forward slowly without attracting anyone's attention, and just passed by Wan Laoer and his companions.
"Xiao Fubao! Where are you?" Wan Laoer was so anxious that he cried. His heart felt like it was fried in a hot oil pan. He wished he had the ability to go to heaven and earth, but looking at the unfamiliar streets at this moment, a feeling of powerlessness gradually engulfed him.
"Daddy? It's daddy. Daddy is calling me."
Little Fubao suddenly climbed up to the window and shouted outside.
"Dad, I'm here. I'm going to the capital city to eat delicious food."
Hei Si was shocked. He didn't expect that the chubby little girl could be so agile. Before he could even notice her, she had already stuck her head out of the window.
Wan Laoer seemed to have heard Xiao Fubao's voice, but when he looked around, he did not see Xiao Fubao's shadow.
The moment Wan Laoer turned his head, Hei Si pulled Xiao Fubao back, and he pinched Xiao Fubao's chubby face hard, making his face red and even turning purple. Xiao Fubao burst into tears in pain.
