Chapter 33 Going into the Mountains to Find Someone
Don't let his skinny appearance fool you; he's incredibly strong. The half hour the system gave him was completely wasted.
In the end, Lu Mingyue and Yao Yao were taken to a cave, where there were several other children.
As soon as they arrived at the location, Ma Zi immediately threw Lu Mingyue on the ground.
Lu Mingyue's lower back hit a rock, and she gasped in pain, but she didn't utter a sound of pain. She only dared to complain to the system in her heart.
[I hope I, a beautiful and exemplary young person in the prime of my life, won't perish here!]
System: [Don't worry, host, Huo Zheng is on his way to rescue you. Just hold on a little longer, and you will definitely be rescued successfully.]
The system's words made Lu Mingyue feel a little better; no matter what, there was at least hope to get through this.
"Boss, what do we do with these people?"
Lu Mingyue pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ma Zi and Dao Ba, and there was another unfamiliar voice, which she guessed was the person left here to look after the children.
Scarface had a blade of grass between his teeth, his brows furrowed with annoyance. The commotion they had caused in the county town was too great; someone was probably already looking for them.
He stared at the sea not far away, his eyes cold. "Send a message to the people over there, telling them to come and meet us as soon as possible."
An unfamiliar voice responded, followed by the sound of footsteps moving away.
Only Pockmarked Man and Scarface remained whispering at the cave entrance.
"Boss, that girl is so pretty, why don't you let the brothers go and have some fun with her?"
Ma Zi is almost thirty years old and still hasn't gotten married. He's incredibly envious of other men who are holding their wives.
Scarface rubbed his chin and said, "What time is it to be thinking about this? If you can't control that little bit of meat down there, I'll take care of it for you."
Ma Zi immediately closed his legs and fell silent. What a joke! If he didn't have those two ounces of flesh, would he still be a man?
Lu Mingyue breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard that they weren't targeting her.
At that moment, she noticed the little bundle of flesh beside her. It moved slightly.
Lu Mingyue called softly, "Yaoyao?"
Yao Yao groggily opened her eyes and found that she and her mother were tied up in a dark cave. Her little face was pale and she was about to cry.
Lu Mingyue leaned closer to her with a pained expression, and the mother and daughter huddled together tightly.
She whispered comfortingly, "Sweet Yao Yao, don't be afraid, Mommy's here."
Before losing consciousness, Yao Yao remembered that two big bad guys had kidnapped her and her mother, and she looked around in terror.
"Where's Mommy, you big bad girl?"
"The big bad guy is guarding the door."
Lu Mingyue touched her wrist and found it was also tied up. The little one's skin was delicate, and she wondered if it had been chafed.
"Dad will come to save us."
Although Yao Yao was scared, she was determined to make this decision.
In her heart, her father was the most powerful hero in the world, and all the big bad guys would be scared away in front of him.
Lu Mingyue nodded, believing that Huo Zheng was also on his way to find them.
She was incredibly grateful that she had pushed Leilei out at the last moment; otherwise, they might have been captured by this group.
At the foot of the mountain.
Huo Zheng led a group of people carrying torches, and also had a wolfhound on a leash.
"Comrade Huo, this is a search method we recently learned from other places. This is the first time we've used it, so we don't know how effective it will be."
The police officer who spoke was unsure of himself.
When a case came out in the neighboring city where dogs could be used for searches, they went to learn from it.
This dog is the one that performed best after training.
But after the training was completed, they didn't have the opportunity to go on missions and were kept well-fed and cared for at the Public Security Bureau.
He said this in the hope that Huo Zheng would not place all his hopes on a dog, considering their past cooperation.
There are too many risks involved in entering the mountains and forests, and no one can guarantee anything.
Huo Zheng rubbed the wolfhound's head, fed it a piece of dry food, and then took out Yao Yao's hair clip and sniffed it in front of his nose.
"Good lad, it's all up to you now."
Even though no one can guarantee the search results, one thing he is certain of is that dogs have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans.
It might have unexpected results.
A gurgling sound suddenly came from the dark cave.
Lu Mingyue then noticed two little ones staring with bright, piercing eyes in the corner.
Why didn't the system tell her that the two children were awake?
Just as Lu Mingyue was about to speak, Ma Zi came in, banging on a wooden stick.
"Oh, you're awake."
Lu Mingyue moved forward, blocking Yao Yao with her body, and glared at him angrily, "What were you planning to do to us, mother and daughter?"
"What do you want to do? Of course, you want to do bad things."
Ma Zi squatted down, poked Lu Mingyue's cheek with his eyes, and said with a greedy look in his eyes, "Look at your little face. You look like a girl from a wealthy family. It must be tough marrying that soldier. You're exposed to the wind and sun here. I'll take you to a better life later."
Lu Mingyue spat and sprayed a mouthful of saliva on his face.
Ma Zi felt the impact of the saliva, and he rubbed his face. "Don't be ungrateful. This time, the big customer is rich."
It's just that I'm a bit older.
Ma Zi has been doing this for several years. He doesn't usually serve many people, but they are all quite perverted and have all sorts of quirks.
He looked at Lu Mingyue's face with some reluctance. Such a beautiful girl, it would be great if she could be his wife.
He kept it to himself, thinking that if Scarface found out, he would definitely get a scolding.
"Since you want to sell me, then release my daughter. She's still young and doesn't know anything."
Lu Mingyue wasn't trying to reason with him, but rather wanted to find out if they were doing other business.
The two children inside had thin faces, clearly indicating they had been kidnapped for a long time. Besides Qiu Ju's son, the other child was likely abducted.
"I'm telling you, stop thinking about it. Just stay here quietly, none of you will escape. And those other two lads, listen to me, don't get any funny ideas."
The two children near the cave were too frightened to utter a sound when they heard his threatening words.
Ma Zi didn't expect them to respond. After showing off his power, he patted his behind and left, completely treating Lu Mingyue as a tool for idle chatter.
"Mom, I miss Dad and my brother."
Yao Yao buried her head in her arm and sobbed softly.
Doesn't the system have any solutions? Are we really just going to watch these people sell us out?
The system reassured, "Host, don't worry. The truck is already at the foot of the mountain. It won't be long before it finds you. Using tools now would risk exposing you."
Lu Mingyue sighed inwardly; it seemed that all hope now rested on Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng led his dog through the mountains and forests, his figure moving at varying speeds.
He moved incredibly fast, quickly leaving the people behind him behind, and marked the way so they could find him easily.
