"Of course, I'll help you," the child said firmly, then, before Yunduo could reply, called out again, "Someone come here!"
After a while... nothing happened.
Yun Duo was a little worried that the child in front of her would feel awkward. Just as she was thinking about whether to say something to change the subject, the child's voice rang out again.
"I know you're here, come out!"
At the same time, Xiao Jiu's voice rang out: "Master, there really are people around here, several of them." As she spoke, Xiao Jiu felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, Master... I should have been more vigilant."
"fine……"
Yun Duo instinctively tried to soothe Xiao Jiu in a low voice, but the child next to her overheard and thought Yun Duo was talking to him. Feeling embarrassed, he said coldly, "You're not coming out, are you? Then don't come out at all!"
As soon as the child finished speaking, the guards who had been secretly protecting him could no longer stand still. The head guard stepped forward and walked a few steps to the child's side.
Looking at her, the child first snorted coldly, and then said in a commanding tone, "Zhang Yang, send someone to the county and have the police come. Tell them that there are people here engaging in illegal human trafficking. Also, have the Tzu Chi Foundation come over and take her to the orphanage and raise her properly." The child pointed to Yun Duo and continued, "Take her to the orphanage and raise her properly."
Chief of guard Zhang Yang looked at the boy in front of him and said with some helplessness, "Fifth Master, you are fulfilling the bet with your father. According to the agreement, unless you give up the bet, you cannot get any help from us during the period when the bet is in effect."
"Furthermore, if there really is illegal human trafficking, the police should indeed come and arrest and investigate, but it's not something that people like us with official duties should handle, so..."
"Rules, rules, everything is rules!" Hearing Zhang Yang's words, the child became completely enraged. He looked at Zhang Yang and whispered, "Does Father's rule mean that you teach me to be an ungrateful and fickle person?"
Zhang Yang really didn't dare to accept that.
Seeing Zhang Yang like this, the child became even angrier. He felt that he had lost face and dignity. He also felt that his guard chief was indeed as his mother had said, not on his side. He was annoyed, angry, and somewhat disheartened. He wanted to say a few harsh words, but remembering his mother's instructions, he swallowed his words and kicked the ground angrily.
At this point, Yun Duo finally snapped out of her daze at the fact that the child's status was far higher than she had imagined, and quickly said to the child, "No, no, I just wanted to ask you to show me the way to the city. I've only left the village once, and I haven't gone far, so I don't know how to get to the city."
"I want to go to the city to find a job to support myself."
The child glanced at the cloud and said resentfully, "Shut up! I said I'd help you, and that's it! Do you think I'd take back what I said?" Then, realizing his tone was too harsh, he softened his tone and continued, "You should just stay in the orphanage. Why are you looking for a job? Don't tell me child labor isn't allowed now. Even if it were, you're so small, thin, and weak, what could you possibly do?"
Having said that, he steeled himself, glared at Zhang Yang, and said, "At worst, I'll admit defeat and follow my father's arrangements."
Zhang Yang was truly stunned.
He, the head guard, had witnessed all the hardships and suffering the child had endured these past few days. He was a man who had gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat even when he was starving. How could he give up for a stranger he had just met?
This is the last day!
