Chapter 45 Encountering Human Traffickers
Everyone worked together to carry Old Mrs. Ruan back home.
Ruan Fu knew that she was no longer a member of the Ruan family, and what happened next had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that it was getting late, she got on her bike and hurried home.
Just halfway through the walk, I saw a small stall on the side of the road selling tofu pudding and fried cakes.
When she rode over, the smell of fried cakes rushed into her nose, making her mouth water.
Oil and water are scarce these days, and fried cakes are a rarity. Grandma Xie Dongmei must like to eat this. She thought about it and went back on purpose.
"Boss, give me a bowl of tofu pudding and half a pound of fried cakes."
"Okay, but it might have to wait a while."
The boss's business is good, and there are several people in front of him.
Good food is never too late. Ruan Fu was not in a hurry. She just sat on the bench and waited patiently.
At this time, a hand tractor passed by on the road. There were three people on the car, two women and one man. The two women were one fat and one thin. The thin woman was carrying a half-grown child on her back.
"Let's just stay here! Let's take a break!"
The fat woman in the car yelled, and then the tractor stopped.
The fat woman got out of the car cursing, "This road is really annoying, I almost died from the shaking!"
She strode forward and said, "Boss, give me three bowls of tofu pudding and one serving of fried cake!"
The boss responded and still just said wait a moment.
The fat woman sat down on the bench and kept complaining, saying that she shouldn't have taken this road and there was not even a place to drink water.
When Ruan Fu turned around, she felt her eyes brighten and her whole body became energetic.
Beautiful! This girl is so beautiful!
Apart from her dark skin, her facial features are delicate and there is nothing wrong with her. Although she is wearing loose clothes, her figure underneath is obviously very hot.
It doesn’t matter if you have dark skin. Anyone can look whiter with some makeup. And with a little dressing up, any man will be charmed by you.
I didn't expect that there could be such a beauty hidden in this remote place. It was so easy to get her!
Looking more closely, Ruan Fu was sweating profusely and was dressed very casually. There was a bicycle parked next to her, and it seemed that she was alone.
The fat woman immediately became interested, and things became much easier.
As long as there is no one else around, I can definitely get close to the other person.
"Little comrade, are you waiting for tofu pudding too? How does it taste? By the way, what are the mulberry leaves on your bicycle for?"
Ruan Fu glanced at her, pursed her lips and said nothing.
She is very vigilant and it is better to ignore people she meets on the road.
When the fat woman saw that the other party didn't answer, she began to wonder in her heart, could it be that this girl is mute?
I suddenly felt a little regretful. If this were the case, I would have to make a lot of concessions.
Ruan Fu calmly sat on the other side, a little further away from the other person.
This fat woman looks unfriendly and doesn't seem like someone who is easy to deal with.
There must be something fishy about being so attentive without any reason. If a man strikes up a conversation with her, he might be after sex. But what about the woman? She didn't want to think too much.
The fat lady was just about to chase after him.
Just then, the stall owner came over with four bowls of tofu pudding and said, "Your tofu pudding is ready."
With other people around, the fat woman couldn't pester Ruan Fu anymore.
He turned around and shouted at the two remaining people on the tractor.
"You have no sense, why don't you come down and drink? Do you want me to serve it to you?"
The man and woman then got off the tractor.
The two men were pale and thin, looking unwell. The clothes they wore were so dirty that the color could not be seen clearly. Only their eyes were extremely gloomy, staring at the people passing by with a sinister look.
The thin woman was carrying a half-grown child on her back, with her face buried in the shadow of the baby carrier. She was neither crying nor making a fuss, as if she was asleep.
"Drink quickly, so you can get going!"
The fat woman cursed, but her eyes kept glancing towards Ruan Fu. After a moment, she said, "Sister Mu, you drink here by yourself first. Lao Li, let's go over there and talk for a while."
The man stood up obediently and walked aside with the fat woman.
"What's wrong, Sister Hong?"
"See that girl over there? She's so pretty! And she's riding a bicycle again. I guess she's the only one there."
The man suddenly became alert. "Sister Hong, what do you mean?"
"It's a pity that I just chatted with her and tried to get her to talk, but she ignored me at all."
The fat woman frowned. Although the little girl looked young, she was quite alert.
The man chuckled, revealing his yellow teeth. "That's nothing. Leave it to me. As long as she's alone, I'll just tie her up on the side of the road and throw her in the tractor, and no one will notice."
The fat woman felt her eyelids twitching. "I don't think this damn girl is that simple. She doesn't look easy to get along with, and she doesn't care about me at all."
The man quickly flattered her, "What's the big deal? Which of those women before wasn't more aggressive than her? Once they fall into Sister Hong's hands, after a few days of training, they'll all be as obedient as kittens!"
The two people were whispering to each other, and now only Ruan Fu and the thin woman carrying the child were left at the table.
A Dongfeng truck passed by on the road nearby. In order to show off, the driver honked the horn for more than ten seconds. The sound was so loud that people around him covered their ears and cursed.
Ruan Fu also covered her ears, but she still felt the sound of the horn drilling into her ears, giving her a headache.
Everything seemed normal, but she always felt something was strange.
The thin woman next to her was drinking tofu pudding with a numb look on her face. When her eyes moved to the straps on her back, Ruan Fu finally realized what was strange.
How could it be possible? With all the noise, the child behind him showed no signs of waking up!
The horn is so loud that it would burst an adult's eardrums, how could a child sleep so soundly?
And judging by the thin woman's expression, she didn't seem worried at all.
This is strange. What mother doesn't care about her own child?
For some unknown reason, Ruan Fu took a closer look at the strap.
You don’t know until you see it. When she saw it, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Why do the shoes on the child's feet look so familiar, and the half of the pants that are exposed? She remembers that Tiantian had worn this kind of shoes and socks before, and she thought they were very fashionable at the time.
But Qin Fang had said before that Tiantian had already returned to Beijing. How could she appear in a place like this, accompanied by such a dusty group of people...
Impossible! Impossible! Ruan Fu shook her head vigorously and threw this absurd idea out of her mind.
Stop being suspicious, that child can't possibly be Tiantian!
I took the opportunity to take a few more glances, but I was still a little worried, so I decided to find a way to confirm it!
Ruan Fu moved closer calmly, wanting to see more clearly.
However, the child's face was completely hidden in the sling and could not be seen at all.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
