Chapter 161
Su Miao has been thinking about the conversation she heard with the traffickers that day these past two days. However, because it was so different from Mandarin and the local dialect, she could no longer remember many of the unfamiliar pronunciations.
Before getting up on the weekend, she silently repeated the words she had heard, and then an idea flashed on her mind: "Asan! There seems to be a word for it!"
Su Miao got up from the bed, put on her clothes and was anxious to go out.
Su Yuanzheng saw his daughter passing by the store and called out, "Miao Miao! Where are you going? You haven't had breakfast yet!"
"I've got a new clue. Let me tell Wangwang's family."
Su Yuanzheng walked out of the store and watched his daughter enter Wangwang's house before turning back.
The children had been missing for two days, and the families of Wangwang and Xiaoliu were devastated. They only had one child in the family, and they were the treasure of the family, and now they were lost just like that.
The two families searched outside day and night, but finally other relatives came and forcibly took them back home.
Wangwang's aunt cooked some meat porridge and brought it to Wangwang's mother, saying, "Little sister, please eat a little. Don't let your body get ruined."
Wangwang's mother cried for two days, her eyes swollen like peach pits. She sobbed and said in a hoarse voice: "Wangwang, my Wangwang... Sister-in-law, my Wangwang is lost!"
"It's okay! It's okay! The police in the whole city are out now, checking every household. Maybe they'll find it soon."
Wangwang's father's condition was not much better. He was unkempt, unshaven, and looked haggard.
The fear and anxiety of the past two days had broken him down, and he yelled at Wangwang's mother, "It's all your fault! How did you manage to raise a child? If I didn't let you do anything else for a day and just asked you to take care of the child, you'd still lose the child!"
"Me! Wuuwuwu!! It was Wangwang who told me not to pick her up and to come back with my brother after school. I've been gone like this for half a year. Who knew something would happen?"
"If the child doesn't let you go, then don't go! What's wrong with your brain?" Wangwang's father became more and more agitated, and the blame in his words became stronger.
Uncle Wangwang pushed his brother-in-law, who had stood up excitedly, back into his chair and said, "Stop talking! Everyone is very anxious right now. What you say will hurt people. Stop talking!"
A depressing atmosphere permeated the two families. The police officers in the area would come to their home every day to inform them of the progress of the case. Although they did not bring the good news that the child had been found today, they told them that the child was very likely still in the city.
Currently, checkpoints have been set up on roads entering and leaving the city, which makes them feel a little more at ease.
Just as the police were about to leave, they ran into Su Miao who was running towards them.
"Uncle police, I have something to report!"
…
After the public security officers received the nickname "Asan", they paid special attention to it and began to focus on investigating people with the nickname "Asan".
When Asan got wind of the news, he immediately panicked. It seemed that he could not wait for the people outside to pick him up. He had to send the person away quickly, otherwise he would be checked soon.
He used his connections to find a freight truck belonging to the clothing factory, intending to transport the people out by hiding in the carriage.
After talking with the driver, he hurried to the dilapidated house where the traffickers were hiding.
"Hurry up and pack up. At noon, follow the bedding factory's truck out of the city. Remember to give them all the medicine!"
Sister Hong was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Has anything changed?"
"I don't know how the police found out my nickname. We need to send the children away immediately. As long as the children are not in the city, no matter how much they investigate, it has nothing to do with me."
"What about us? Are we going with the child as well?"
"It's too obvious if the three of you go together. Sister Hong and I will follow the car, while Pang Ya and A Xiu will catch the shuttle bus. We'll reunite later."
A few people hurriedly packed up and fed the children sleeping pills. Except for the youngest one, the older ones were stuffed into large bamboo baskets and covered with sweet potato leaves, making them look like several large baskets of vegetables.
At noon, Asan and Hongjie each rode a tricycle to transport the people out. Pangya and Axiu also followed and would ride the tricycles back soon.
In their panic, they didn't notice that Xiaoliu put the sleeping pills given to him in his mouth and then secretly spit them out.
The place they were in was very remote and there were few people. It was even more deserted at noon when the sun was strong. A little further towards the main road, they saw a large truck parked with its lights on and the driver smoking on the side of the road.
Seeing them coming, he complained, "Hurry up! It's so sunny and I've been waiting for so long."
Ah San nodded and handed over the cigarette, saying, "Sorry, big brother, my wife is taking too long. I'll load the goods right away."
The driver stuffed the cigarette pack into his trouser pocket, turned to open the trunk door, looked at the bamboo baskets in their tricycle, and said, "You're only carrying a few vegetables? Is it worth taking my car?"
"Brother, there are eggs and snacks in here. We are bringing them back to honor my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Don't worry, we can do it ourselves!"
The driver, who was just looking to make some extra cash, was happy not to have to help, so he went back to the front to continue smoking, saying casually, "I think you're quite attentive to your Yue family. We agreed in advance that the factory doesn't allow private work on the bus. If someone checks your car later, just say you're employees of the clothing factory. Don't let me know!"
"Yeah! We know!"
After moving all the bamboo baskets onto the bike, A Xiu handed the child to Sister Hong and rode back with Pang Ya.
The driver stared at Ah Xiu for a long time and asked, "Are these all your relatives? Is this child yours?"
Ah San asked Sister Hong to get in the car with the child, and he and the driver laughed and said, "Yes, this child is ours. The two children just now are my younger sister and my sister-in-law. They both work in the city."
"Oh! That's it."
The driver touched his chin and said with a smile: "The fat one must be your younger sister. The thin one looks a lot like your wife, so she must be your sister-in-law. Are you both married?"
Ah San's mind raced as he continued to laugh, "Not yet. My parents-in-law are worried and keep asking me to introduce someone to my sister-in-law, but I don't know anyone!"
"Oh! Look at what you said, you know me!"
…
The two got into the car while chatting. The big truck rumbled forward. Asan and Hong Jie felt relieved. As long as they got out of the city, everything would be easy.
After driving for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the checkpoint on the highway out of the city, where the police were setting up a checkpoint.
"Stop! Stop! Go back where you came from and show us your ID card. We need to check it!"
The driver pulled over, jumped out, took out his ID and work permit, and said, "Public Security Comrade, I'm a driver from the clothing factory, and I need to deliver goods to the county."
The police officer checked the documents and found nothing wrong. Then he pointed at Ah San and Hong Jie and said, "What about these two? I want to see their documents."
