Xiao Jiu took three children out by herself, one of them was strapped to her back with a baby carrier, and she held the hand of each of them. Whoever got tired, she would carry that child on her back and they would take turns.
In this situation, she urgently needed a stroller, but the child had never ridden in one before and was already three years old, so they refused to ride in it.
She had no other choice but to take them out for a stroll this way.
Although triplets are not common these days, and her baby is good-looking and well-dressed, it's no wonder that there are many onlookers.
But she had a vague feeling that the old lady sitting across from her, who was trying to help her take care of the child, was acting strangely.
Zhou Nan needed to use the restroom, so she said, "I'll watch these two for you, why don't you take the kids?"
Xiao Jiu frowned, quickly pulled her child into her arms, and stared at her warily.
"Thank you for your kindness, but... I don't need it, I can carry it myself."
In the end, when she went to the restroom with her three children, the old woman was still there and kept glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.
"Mom, weren't you going to take us out for something delicious?"
The foodie Zhou Nan tilted her head and tugged at the dazed Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu, who had been lost in thought, looked at the bustling street and suddenly felt that she had been somewhat reckless in bringing three children out.
So she immediately took the children and left. It was a bit hot, and the three little ones looked irritable, so she continued to feed them.
Just then, someone seemed to follow them from behind. Xiao Jiu glanced at the small park on the side of the street, then pulled the child inside.
Sure enough, not long after she came in, the old woman led a man and a woman running towards them.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to get the child into a bamboo grove before they entered the warehouse together.
"Mom, you're sweating so much and panting so heavily, what's wrong?"
Zhou Dong noticed that something was wrong with her and tugged at her hand hard.
Zhou Hui looked left and right. "Mom, isn't this where we played yesterday? Why are we here again?"
Zhou Nan, who was on her back, also leaned on her shoulder. "Mommy, Nan Nan is hungry."
Xiao Jiu had never suffered like this in her past life. Being bombarded by three children at the same time, she was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
"We encountered human traffickers. They were going to snatch you away from your mother, you know? Luckily, we managed to escape in time."
"You three must remember this from now on: when you're out and about, be wary of all strangers, men, women, young and old."
Fearing they wouldn't understand, Xiao Jiu repeated herself several times in language they could understand.
After that, she went to get food for the three little ones and let them play with Blackwing in the warehouse.
Blackwing is better at raising children than its siblings; it never gets annoyed no matter how much it struggles.
It would lie down on the ground, and the three little ones would come over on their own, either riding on its back, petting it, or scratching its head and stroking its fur.
She has kept her German Shepherds in captivity for many years. They need to be bathed every week, dewormed internally and externally every month, and vaccinated against rabies every year.
Only when the safety factor is high can we feel at ease leaving them with the children.
Because time passes more slowly in this space, only an hour had passed outside by the time she had finished feeding and putting the children to sleep and came out again.
She thought those people had left, but she didn't expect them to be guarding both entrances to the small park.
The original three people had now become six, which astonished Xiao Jiu: "Have we run into a human trafficking gang?"
She thought of Aunt Mei and Ni Hao, whom she had met when she was a child. If she hadn't met them, would she still be alive?
Were you waiting for me?
The old lady turned her head and saw Xiao Jiu. She immediately smiled and looked around, only to find no one there. Her smile vanished abruptly.
Where is your child?
"You sent them away, huh? What else would I have done? Keep them around for you to kidnap?"
Xiao Jiu glanced at them with a smile, looking completely harmless.
The old lady had a sharp and mean-spirited look, and her features instantly darkened upon hearing this.
"Since you knew that, you still dared to come alone?"
Xiao Jiu chuckled, "Why wouldn't I dare to come? What can you do to me in broad daylight?"
The next second, she witnessed their strategy. As soon as the old lady glanced at her, the middle-aged couple next to her instantly surrounded her. The woman burst into tears, grabbed her hand, and looked like she had finally found her, calling out to her.
"Look at you, why are you so disobedient? Mom doesn't want you to get married, but you insist on getting married anyway, and you even ran away on your own. Do you know how hard we've looked for you? Come home with your sister-in-law, Dad is still waiting at home!"
After crying, she gave the man a meaningful look, and the two of them married her from both sides at the same time. The old lady looked like she had lost something and then found it again, with a mournful face.
In reality, he was threatening her while lying on top of her: "Since we can't get the smaller ones, we might be able to sell you for a little money since you're somewhat pretty. You'd better behave, or don't blame us for being ruthless with our knives!"
Seeing the three of them simultaneously draw their knives, Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes. "Aren't there three more people? Why don't you call them all up?"
The three men looked at each other, all thinking that the woman was out of her mind. Who would willingly offer herself up?
But if you say she's sick, she still knows how to send the three children away, and can even tell their identities at a glance.
What kind of species is this?
Soon, they knew what species it was.
As soon as the other three approached her, one of them, who had a sensitive nose, frowned and looked at her.
What do you smell like?
Xiao Jiu quickly took two sips from each side. "What's that taste? I don't have body odor. In this sweltering heat, can't I even sweat a little?"
"It's not body odor or body odor, this smell... I can't quite describe it, it's a bit overpowering,"
Xiao Jiu was surprised that there was someone in the group with such a keen sense of smell. Fortunately, the others didn't react, which lowered her guard.
In fact, she had applied a sleeping potion to her body and clothes.
Shortly after these people dragged her into a dilapidated van without license plates, she began to feel dizzy and weak as the smell from her body spread. In the end, she stepped on the gas and drove off the bridge.
She took the opportunity to loot everything usable from the car, then smashed the window and swam, holding her breath, towards a less crowded area.
If you need fresh air, go into the space and rest for a while.
By the time she had rested and returned to the fishing village, it was already dark.
Zhou Yue had just entered the house, washed up, and taken care of the three children when he rode his bike home looking dejected and depressed.
While he was washing up, Xiao Jiu quickly placed the food available in the space—two bowls of Northeastern cold noodles, a bowl of steamed shrimp and egg, and four hamburgers—on the table.
"Are you alright?" Seeing his listless state, I suddenly felt both sorry for him and amused.
"I'm fine, it's just that you were right, there was no business today. After observing, I realized that my method was wrong."
I shouldn't have sold the easy-to-sell items first, which resulted in the rest going unsold. I need to think of a solution.
How was your day, you little ones? Did you all listen to Mommy at home?
