She casually picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the man.
"Thud—" A small stone hit the person.
The man was startled. He looked up and then looked down again, only to find that what had hit him was a small stone.
"Hmm?" He looked down at the stone with a puzzled expression, then looked up and around.
Where did the stone come from that hit him?
Could someone be there?
However, after scanning his surroundings, he did not see anyone.
Just then, he heard a knocking sound coming from the grass, which was more than a meter tall, not far away.
"Da-da-da-da"
The strange sound piqued the man's curiosity, and he slowly walked towards the direction of the sound.
What was that sound?
He wanted to see what that sound was.
Driven by curiosity, he didn't realize he was walking further and further away. By the time he entered the bushes, the other two could no longer see him.
A figure suddenly appeared from behind him, rushed over and kicked him in the back of the knee, and pounced on him with a rear naked choke the moment he fell to the ground.
The man who was being strangled from behind immediately began to struggle on the ground. He tried to call for his companions to help, but he couldn't make a sound.
A dozen seconds later, he lay motionless on the ground.
Yuan Mengge took out some duct tape from her backpack and sealed his mouth shut. Then she pulled off his belt and pants, skillfully tied him up, and finally dragged him away in secret.
The other two pushed aside the stone slab and waited a while before noticing that the person who went to get the ladder had not yet returned.
"How do we get back? Where did he go to get a ladder? Where did he go? He's disappeared!"
Another person said, "He probably went to pee."
The two of them didn't take it to heart at first.
But after more than ten minutes, the person still hadn't returned, and the two began to wonder.
"What's going on? Does he take so long to take a dump?" one of them said, walking towards the ladder and shouting a few times.
When they heard no response, the two started to panic.
"Where is he? Why isn't he answering? Could something have happened?"
"Look, look quickly." So the two of them went into the grass that was one or two meters high and started searching everywhere.
However, as they searched, two people went in, but only one person came out in the end.
He emerged looking completely bewildered, muttering to himself, "Could another one have disappeared?"
Then he raised his voice and called another person's name, but after calling a few times, that person also disappeared.
"No way!!! What's going on? Could it be a ghost or something...?" The last person retreated in fear.
But after thinking about it, he turned around and ran towards the van.
However, as he was running, a figure suddenly rushed up from behind and kicked him directly in the back.
"Ouch!" the man exclaimed, his body propelled forward by the force of the kick, before he landed on the ground with a thud.
When he recovered from the shock of the fall, he saw someone walk up to him.
Before I could even see the other person's face clearly, I was lifted up and then punched in the stomach.
"Uh-huh—"
The punch instantly made him curl up, his body hunched over and curled into a ball.
Yuan Mengge called out to Li Xue'e on the other side, "Sister, come out."
Then, while tying the man's hands behind his back, she dragged him toward the earthen house.
Wearing a mask, Li Xue'e emerged from the side, looked at the man in his arms, and asked, "What should we do with these three people?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Throw them down and keep waiting."
Li Xue'e: "Shouldn't we just send them directly to the police station?"
Yuan Mengge shook her head and said, "There are still five of them. Sending them to the police station would alert them and scare the others away, making it impossible for us to catch them."
Li Xue'e: "Are you trying to wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"
Yuan Mengge, holding the human trafficker in her hand, walked to the well and asked Li Xue'e to bring over the ladder.
Then he said to the human trafficker, "Will you go down yourself, or should I throw you down?"
Human trafficker: "I'll get down myself..."
The hole below was several meters deep; if she had thrown it in, her arms and legs would have been broken.
Li Xue'e lowered the ladder down from the well, and then the two of them carefully climbed down the ladder while watching the human trafficker.
Then Yuan Mengge carried the other two human traffickers on her shoulders, one on each side.
Watching her carry the two men over like she was carrying two sacks, Li Xue'e was both amused and exasperated.
Who wouldn't be terrified by this scene...?
The two were still unconscious. Yuan Mengge said to the trafficker who had gone down first, "You catch your companion."
As he spoke, he picked up one of the unconscious human traffickers, placed him feet down on the ladder, and let him slide down the ladder.
The ladder was used to reduce the force of the people sliding down, allowing the second trafficker to slip down smoothly.
The human trafficker below managed to flip over and avoid becoming a human cushion.
Then Yuan Mengge left the last person behind.
Then she climbed up herself, jumped to the ground, clapped her hands, and looked into the cave.
The cave is six or seven meters deep, but not very large.
At that moment, a group of children were huddled in the corner, staring at her with wide eyes and uncertain looks.
The children ranged in age from two or three to several girls who were seventeen or eighteen.
There are nine people in total.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you. Are any of you injured? Are you able to move around freely?” She stood beside the ladder and looked at the children.
Three older girls stood up and nodded to her.
"We're not injured...we can move around."
"I'm hungry...I want to drink water..." a younger child said.
"Yes, we've been locked up here for many days... They only give us a little food every two or three days..."
Yuan Mengge said to them, "Let's go first, there's food up there. Send the little ones up first, come on, all of you, let's go up."
The air down here isn't good. These children are locked up here and can't get out. They also excrete here.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so the smell wasn't too strong through the fabric.
Once the children knew they could go outside, they all came over.
Yuan Mengge dragged the two human traffickers next to the ladder to the side and held the ladder from below to help them up.
Li Xue'e was waiting for them from above.
The youngest child was carried up by an older girl, and when they got to the top, Li Xue'e reached down and scooped the child up.
After all the children had climbed up, Yuan Mengge climbed up, then put the ladder away and covered the well.
When I came up, I saw that the nine abducted children were all dirty and listless.
Li Xue'e looked at the youngest child, who was only two or three years old, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so she gave him water and food.
"These bastards are so wicked! How could they harm such a young child!"
