Chapter 17 Lu Xing vs. Human Traffickers
After Lu Dazhuang left, there was no news for another week. Lian Hua was at home taking care of her grandson, so it was difficult for her to go look for them.
I could only look towards the village entrance every day to see if there was any news about them.
Just when Lian Hua was anxiously preparing to take her grandson to the capital to look for someone, Lu Yuan was about to take the agricultural products to the capital to participate in the agricultural exhibition, and Lu Dazhuang was also going to the capital to look for Wang Fang.
She asked Lu Yuan to help find out some information when he went to the capital.
Lu Xing, who was helping nearby, heard this and decided to go along, one reason being to complete the system's exploration, and the other to see what the capital looked like.
It just so happens that after the system upgrade, the monitoring range has also been expanded. Maybe it can help in finding Lu Dazhuang.
——
The county town was too small and there was no train service, so Lu Xing and his friends had to walk to the county town first, and then take a bus from the county town to the city to take the train.
They took the earliest bus in the morning, but when they arrived at the train station, there was still a long queue at the door.
No one cared about the difference between men and women. Everyone was crowded together to prevent anyone from cutting in line. Everyone held their luggage in their arms or in their hands to give no chance to thieves.
The thieves near the city's train station were too arrogant. They stole things almost as if they were robbing people. Even someone as strong as Lu Yuan was almost pulled down by them.
Lu Xing followed the others' lead and hugged the package. Even so, it took several system reminders to avoid the thief's clutches.
There were many ticket scalpers nearby shouting, "We have both seat and sleeper tickets, hurry up if you want to buy one."
"Do you want tickets to Mangshi? There are two left, hurry up if you want one."
After finally getting on the bus, the two seats were not even next to each other.
Sitting next to Lu Xing was a grandmother with a child and a man wearing glasses reading a book.
Grandma was busy putting the child to sleep, and the man was busy reading.
When the train started, there was an announcement, "Dear passengers, welcome..."
There were people standing and chatting in the aisle next to them.
The whole carriage can be said to be very lively.
The train had been running for more than ten minutes, and the grandmother next to me was still coaxing her child to sleep. The strange thing was that the child had his eyes closed and didn't move at all.
"Big sister, is this your grandson or granddaughter? They look so handsome."
The grandmother next to him heard the conversation and subconsciously covered the child's face. "Yes, my grandson is one of the most handsome in our village. Big sister, can you please be quiet? I just coaxed my grandson to sleep."
"Okay, okay, I'm a talkative person. I'm sorry, sister. Hey, where's the kid's mother? Why didn't she come with us?"
"Fuck... Let's go find the kid's mother." After saying this, she turned her back while holding the child and pretended to be busy. Obviously, she didn't want to continue chatting with Lu Xing.
"System, can you scan their facial features to see if they are related?"
【no problem. 】
[The scan showed they weren't related. How strange! Could it be that her grandson was also taken away by mistake? Does this happen to humans all the time?]
"Not necessarily. I think it's more likely to be a human trafficker."
"Let's keep an eye on her together. If she's a human trafficker, she'll probably strike again soon."
Sure enough, not long after, she started walking around with the child in her arms.
A thin old man holding a cute baby in his arms, almost no one would be wary of such a combination.
Soon the old lady found a target. The girl seemed to be still reading, and the person next to her seemed to be her companion, but the two people did not seem familiar.
While the girl was in the restroom alone, the old lady came over.
Pretend to be squeezed and fall down accidentally.
"Ouch."
When the girl saw that she had bumped into someone, she immediately apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, grandma, I didn't see it. Are you okay?"
"Girl, it's okay, it's okay. You were careless too. Can you give me a hand?"
"Ouch, I think my waist is twisted." The old lady sat on the ground, holding her waist.
The other person felt even more embarrassed when he heard this. "Grandma, is your waist badly twisted? I'm so sorry, I was in a hurry to walk and didn't see clearly."
"It's okay, it's okay. Can you help me hold my grandson down? I'll just go back to my seat and relax."
The girl didn't think much about it, took the child and helped the old lady walk to her seat.
Along the way, the old lady praised the girl for her culture and kindness, and then praised the girl for her good looks. Soon the two became familiar with each other.
When the old lady arrived at her stop and was about to get off the bus, she asked the girl if she could help her hold her grandson.
The girl agreed without thinking too much and helped the old lady out of the car while holding the child.
When she turned around and tried to leave, the old lady suddenly grabbed her clothes and stopped her from leaving. She also shouted, "Hui Min, just come back with us."
"What Huimin? I'm not..."
"Hui Min, no matter what, you can't secretly take your grandson away."
"Can't we talk about it when we get home?"
The old lady cried and made a fuss, completely drowning out the girl's objections.
She wanted to leave, but the people around her were trying to persuade her, "Girl, why can't you talk things over as a family? Besides, you have a child."
"That's right, your mother-in-law has apologized to you, so just go back."
"No, I'm not..." The girl wanted to explain something.
Another man rushed out from the side and slapped himself twice. "Wife, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Let's go home."
He apologized with his mouth, but his hands were pulling the girl away forcefully.
Everyone believed that this was a family conflict and was watching the fun.
The girl wanted to ask for help, but no one believed her.
Just when she thought she was doomed, another old lady rushed out and grabbed her hand, "My flower, Mom finally found you."
The two human traffickers were also stunned by this sudden change.
After realizing what was happening, the old lady immediately tried to push Lu Xing aside. "Don't recognize anyone randomly, old woman. This is my daughter-in-law. Are you a human trafficker?"
"Everyone, come and catch the human traffickers!"
"You're the human trafficker! My daughter Huaer married into your family and worked like a slave, and even gave birth to a grandson for your family. I never thought you'd sell her off to Old Man Wang's family right away. You're not human!"
"That old man Wang is over sixty years old, are you still human?"
It is human nature to like to join in the fun.
I heard that someone here ran away with a child because her in-laws wanted to sell her to an old man in his sixties. People who came to watch the fun surrounded them.
The human traffickers originally wanted to kidnap the girl when everyone got off the bus and no one reacted.
Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by people who were joining in the fun, and they couldn't leave for a while.
Moreover, the old lady recognized Lu Xing as the person who had just chatted with her on the train, and she felt a little panicked.
But now that so many people are watching, I have no choice but to go on with the performance.
"What flowers, what old man Wang? Big sister, you must have recognized the wrong person. This is my daughter-in-law Huimin."
The old woman and the man held the girl's hands and shoulders tightly, making it impossible for her to escape. "She was holding my grandson in her arms, and there was a mole on his shoulder."
They lifted the child's clothes and showed everyone the mole on his shoulder. "If I wasn't her grandmother, would I know this?"
"Yeah, there's no way she's mistakenly identifying her own child. She even mentioned the birthmark on the child."
"That's right, the other one wouldn't be lying, would he? He wants to kidnap someone's daughter-in-law."
Hearing the voices of those around her who believed her, the old lady regained a lot of confidence. "Yes, you can't say anything. Could it be that the human traffickers want to kidnap people?"
"No wonder you just praised my grandson Jun, it turns out you've been eyeing him for a long time."
Faced with the sudden reversal of circumstances, Lu Xing was not in a hurry. She pretended to sigh helplessly, "Hey, I wanted to save some face for my in-laws. If you insist on asking, then I'll tell you."
"When I first came to visit your relatives, I slept with you. You have a mole on the back of your neck."
"One time when I woke up at night, I found you went to sleep with your son. Your son has a scar on his left arm."
"At that time, I told my daughter that if the mother-in-law could do something as shameful as sleeping with her son, what else could she not do? She can't stay in your house anymore."
"Then I heard that you were going to sell my daughter to Old Man Wang, so I hurried over. If I hadn't arrived in time, my daughter would have been taken to Old Man Wang's house by you."
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at his arm and see if there is a scar."
"Oh, my poor girl."
After hearing what Lu Xing said, the other passionate young people really wanted to rush up and check the man's arm.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two human traffickers wanted to sneak away, but were stopped by the people watching behind them.
Finally, he was successfully caught by the police officers called by Lu Yuan.
It was only at this time that everyone realized that the old lady and the man were actually human traffickers.
If Lu Xing hadn't made up an outrageous story to stop them, the girl and the baby might have been abducted.
The girl who was rescued was Liu Fangfang. She was originally going to college, but she didn't expect to encounter such an incident on her way. So she was particularly grateful to Lu Xing.
Before leaving, she asked a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, so they are really mother and son, and they sleep together?"
"No, I made it up. If it wasn't outrageous, it wouldn't have attracted so many people. I can't stop them alone."
"Oh." The girl smiled a little embarrassedly.
After this incident, nothing happened in the next few stops.
There were just some people who were really curious about the gossip and couldn't help but run over to chat with Lu Xing.
There wasn’t much fun entertainment when going out in the 1990s, and most people spent the long train journey chatting to kill time.
It just so happened that Lu Xing had a lot of gossip to tell, so more and more people came over to chat.
When Lu Yuan got off the train, he was still racking his brains to figure out which bus to take to the agricultural fair.
Lu Xing had already gotten a ride in someone else's car by virtue of the gossip they had exchanged on the train.
