"Who cares? We're getting a good deal anyway." The tall man chuckled, rubbing his hands together as he reached out to touch Ye Zhiyu's body.
Ye Zhiyu was tense all over, and the surrounding plants seemed ready to move and bind him at any moment.
"Fourth brother."
At this moment, Li Mazi shouted.
The tall guy, who was also the fourth brother, reluctantly withdrew his hand. "Big brother, can't I touch it?"
Li Mazi stared at Ye Zhiyu's face: "I'm prepared to offer her my head."
The fourth brother immediately calmed down and no longer showed any displeasure.
That's the boss, the one who led them to wealth and prosperity; all the good things should be given to him.
Ye Zhiyu, lying on the ground, was somewhat shocked. The person they had always called "Big Brother" was not their leader.
Are there others?
It seems their organization is quite large.
Suddenly, a child woke up and burst into tears upon seeing the unfamiliar scene and so many fierce-looking people.
The effects of the medicine wore off, and one after another, they woke up.
The fourth brother got a headache from the noise, so he grabbed a tree branch and started whipping it.
"Shut up, stop crying, or I'll beat you to death."
The children screamed in terror. Ye Zhiyu quickly checked their positions and began to set up a plant net using her spiritual power.
"Alright, fourth brother, shut them up."
Li Mazi frowned and gave the order.
The fourth brother roared, "Shut up, or I'll beat you all up!"
The children were startled and immediately quieted down. The children from the Red Flag Brigade also saw the uncle who had given them popsicles.
The little boy who had asked everyone to eat popsicles was terrified. He had caused everyone's trouble, and she was about to cry again, but thankfully she held it in because she was afraid of being beaten again.
The fourth brother got angry at the commotion and grabbed a little girl, trying to drag her to the back of the shed.
The men were used to it, and Li Mazi didn't stop them. Their line of work was stressful, and they needed to vent their frustrations occasionally.
The little girl began to struggle incessantly: "Help! Daddy, Mommy, save me! Waaaaah, Daddy, Mommy!"
But how could a child possibly stand up to an adult? His small body was restrained.
The man in front was still betting: "How long do you think the fourth brother can last this time?"
"Fifteen minutes, I guess."
"That's too little, I'll bet 20."
Ye Zhiyu gritted her teeth, "A bunch of beasts."
He manipulated a wooden stake and struck the fourth brother on the head with a bang, then lay down and covered the little girl.
The fourth brother's excited voice stopped abruptly. They immediately realized something was wrong and got up to check.
At this moment, a strong wind arose, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes. A large net was poured down from above their heads, and spiritual energy was poured into the vines, pressing down like a thousand pounds. Instantly, everyone was knocked unconscious.
They disassembled it again and started tying people up. Ye Zhiyu got up from the ground, twisted her neck, raised her arms, and felt like her waist was about to dislocate.
He snapped his fingers, and instantly the storm subsided. Ignoring the other children, he walked toward the back shed.
I breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, nothing happened.
Thankfully, it was in time. Who knew that human trafficking was already so heinous, but there was also a pedophile involved?
I wonder how many children this beast has harmed.
He kicked the fourth child aside, picked up the little girl who was crying so hard she couldn't breathe, and gently comforted her.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, the bad guy is already unconscious. With your sister here, no one can hurt you."
He got so angry while talking that he kicked her again.
The little girl calmed down, and Ye Zhiyu tried to put her on the ground, but Ye Zhiyu hugged her neck.
Ye Zhiyu knew she was frightened.
She said gently, "Can you let go of your sister first? There's a little brother over there who's only a few days old. I need to go see him and tie up this bad guy. Can you help me untie the little boy's hands that are tied up?"
The little girl clenched her little hand, then let go.
"Good boy, rocking horse."
Ye Zhiyu kissed her.
They found some vines to tie up the fourth child and quickly ran to the baby's side.
She tried breathing and breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Li Xi put him in that room, she hadn't heard him groan. She had thought something was wrong.
It seems they were fed the same food as them, but that's not a good thing either. Who knows if such a young child will have any long-term effects?
After you go out, you still need to get checked.
Ye Zhiyu had never held a child before, and her posture was awkward; nothing felt right.
Moreover, the baby's body is so soft that it feels like he's about to fall apart whenever she moves.
The children who had already woken up gathered around, all of them looking listless.
Some of the bolder ones asked, "Sister, aren't we leaving?"
They wanted to go home and never run around again.
As I thought about it, tears started to fall.
Ye Zhiyu knew that emotions were contagious, so she didn't dare let him continue crying, otherwise she wouldn't be able to comfort him.
Speaking very quickly, she said, "Someone will come to pick us up. We can go home by sunset at the latest. It will be the police officers who will come to pick us up."
"Don't cry, or you won't be able to get home."
It has to be said that sometimes intimidation works; the child immediately held back his tears.
"Sister, are the police officers here to arrest us? We ran around, so they're here to punish us."
Ye Zhiyu chuckled, "Why would you think that?"
The little girl nestled beside Ye Zhiyu. Ye Zhiyu glanced at her, then freed one hand to pat her head.
"Because I'm always disobedient, my mom would say that if I cause trouble again, the police will come and arrest me."
"Yes, my grandma said the same thing."
“My dad said the same thing.”
......
Ye Zhiyu understood. Parents couldn't control these kids, so they set up a sacred and inviolable person to scare them, so the children would obey.
However, this also has drawbacks. He may be obedient in normal times, but if he still thinks that the police will arrest him when he is in danger, and tries to avoid the police, then the child is doomed.
"Little boy, listen to me. The police are here to protect us. They won't arrest you as long as you don't do anything illegal or disorderly. For example, beating people, human trafficking, stealing, robbery, etc. are all bad things that we can't do. The police and soldiers are here to protect us. We should be grateful to them, not afraid of them, understand?"
"Understood," everyone answered in unison.
Chatting is the best way to soothe people's hearts. Looking at the children who had calmed down, Ye Zhiyu sighed, "These are the flowers of the nation's future."
Then I remembered that they had been abducted because they ate free popsicles, so I started to lecture them.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. No business would give you food for free unless you order a lot, like ten items and they'd give you one free. That's the normal mindset of a businessperson."
“You’re a bunch of kids, you don’t have a single penny to your name, why should he give it to you for free?”
