Chen Cuilan thought for a while and said, "Doctor Su, do you have a phone number? Can you leave me your number?" With Su Jinyue's phone number, she was no longer afraid of not being able to find her.
"Okay." Su Jinyue gave Chen Cuilan her phone number. Her phone was usually turned off, and she would only turn it on when she wanted to use it.
Chen Cuilan took out a ballpoint pen from her bag and wrote down Su Jinyue's phone number on her palm. "Doctor Su, you go ahead and do your work. I'll call you when the time comes." If her husband knew that she had found Doctor Su, he would definitely be very happy.
After separating from Chen Cuilan, Su Jinyue walked towards the teahouse.
At this time, the little boy who had been within her spiritual awareness had finished his work for the day and was following the middle-aged man towards an abandoned factory building.
The dilapidated factory building used to be a winery. The open space of the factory building was filled with boxes of discarded broken wine bottles, and there were also several large vats used to store lees when making wine.
After closing the factory door, the middle-aged man brought the little boy to one of the workshops. The workshop was very large, with some machine parts piled up inside, emitting the residual smell of alcohol and a pungent smell of engine oil.
At the end of the workshop, there was a small room. When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw more than twenty women and children, and two ferocious-looking men.
Most of these children were disabled, with only three or four having all their limbs intact like the little boy. They all looked very clever, just like the little boy. Usually, they also received more money than the disabled children.
"Second brother, how was your harvest today?" one of the men with a crew cut asked. He was the oldest of the group and the one who had come up with the idea for this business.
The second brother smiled, his teeth brimming with yellow. "This guy's done five orders today, and they've made about 70 or 80 yuan in total." They've been doing this kind of business for a year or two. At first, it was just the three of them, but then they saw it was so good that they asked their wives to join in. Last year, they renovated their old house and built a three-story building. The villagers were envious, and they looked at them differently.
"So much! We have to celebrate properly." He turned to look at the woman next to him with two pigtails and a dirty face, "Xiaofang, go out and buy some meat and vegetables. The three of us brothers are going to have a couple of drinks today." Although the winery was abandoned, they could still find one or two bottles of wine. They had tried them before, and the wines tasted pretty good.
"Okay." Xiaofang nodded, stood up and walked outside.
Su Jinyue withdrew her consciousness. She now knew where the enemy was staying, and she would wait until nightfall to capture him in one fell swoop.
The night is dark and the wilderness is extremely quiet.
The abandoned winery outside the city was bustling with activity at this moment, with bursts of laughter emanating from it from time to time.
"Cheers! When we become rich, we'll go to a big city."
"When we went to the capital, we heard that it was full of rich people, and they gave beggars at least ten cents, unlike here where five cents is considered a good amount."
"Then we'll go after the New Year. There are more and more businesses like this now. If we go too late, we won't be able to occupy the market."
"Old Three is right. Let's go there early. Come, come, come, cheers. I wish our business will become more and more prosperous, and we will try to buy a car next year."
The three of them ate the delicious meat and discussed their next plan.
In a corner, the little boy ate the rare rice he had, his eyes occasionally glancing at the people drinking, his bright black eyes moving constantly. He had been looking for a chance to escape these days, but the guards were too strict, and he had no chance at all.
Seeing that the three of them were already tipsy, the little boy put down his bowl, stood up and said to Xiaofang who was pouring wine for them, "Auntie Fang, I want to go to the bathroom."
Xiaofang looked at the three people who were drinking, thought for a moment, and said to another woman, "Cui'er, take Xiaoyi to the toilet." Xiaoyi was the smartest of the children and the one who was best at stealing money. Therefore, they treated him very well and did not beat or scold him like they did other children.
Cui'er put down the bowl in her hand, put her little finger into her mouth to pick out the meat between her teeth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. "Let's go." She said to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded and hurried to follow.
It was pitch black outside and quiet, with only a fat rat occasionally popping out from the corner.
"Just pee wherever you want." Cui Er pointed to the corner of the wall. They didn't have to be so particular.
"Yeah!" Xiao Yi nodded and walked obediently to the wall, his eyes secretly observing Cui'er. Normally, when he went out, they kept a close eye on him, giving him no chance to escape. If he hadn't been cooperating with them these days, they might have broken his legs and forced him to beg on the street.
"Hurry up." Cui'er urged. She was still thinking about the pieces of meat. It was usually difficult to eat meat. If they were eaten, she didn't know when she would be able to eat meat again.
"Aunt Cui, my stomach hurts. Why don't you go in first? I'll go in when I feel better." Xiao Yi said sadly, holding his stomach.
"What a hassle! Hurry up!" Cui'er snorted, but didn't move. Xiao Yi was the smartest of the kids. If he ran away, Daniu and the others would tear her apart.
Xiao Yi frowned and pointed to the space between two large wine vats not far away. There was a distance of about one meter there, perfect for a person to squat down. "I'll go there."
"There are so many things to do." Cui Er glared at Xiao Yi in dissatisfaction, "Hurry up, hurry up."
"Ah!" Xiao Yi responded, holding his stomach and running quickly towards the two large vats. From his appearance, it was clear that he was extremely anxious.
Running between the two large vats, Xiao Yi squatted down and slowly moved inside. There was a hole in the wall behind the vats. Although it was not big, it was big enough for him to get out alone. He had discovered this hole by accident. The traffickers had no idea about it. It was just that they kept a close eye on him, so he didn't dare to escape.
"Are you done?" Cui'er's impatient voice came.
"It's almost there. I'll be fine." Xiao Yi had already moved to the entrance of the cave. He crouched down and crawled through the hole in the wall. He saw that there was a wasteland on the other side of the wall. The wasteland was overgrown with weeds, some of which were more than one person tall. It was precisely because of the obstruction of these weeds that the human traffickers did not discover that there was a hole in the wall.
Getting up, Xiao Yi quickly ran off into the distance. He had to run as fast as possible, the farther the better, otherwise if he was caught by the traffickers, his fate would be dire.
