Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Caught

Teacher Wang and Teacher Li walked in front with the children from the textile factory kindergarten, while Zhou Wenqian and Tang Jiayi walked behind with the children from the military family compound kindergarten.

Halfway through the walk, I suddenly heard a rustling sound from the trees on the right.

Everyone stopped.

Then, an animal roar was heard.

Teacher Wang's face turned pale and he shouted, "Oh no! This is the sound of a wild boar. Everyone, run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Teacher Li, who was walking in front of her, ran down the mountain.

Teacher Wang shouted, "Students, run down the mountain quickly!"

The children from the textile factory were trembling with fear, but when they heard the teacher's words, they all rushed down the mountain.

These children were used to walking on the mountain road. This mountain was very close to the city of Huanxian, and many children often followed the older children to play here. They were very familiar with this mountain road, and even those who were not familiar with it followed others and ran down.

The children at the military compound were a little confused when they saw people running downstairs in such a hurry. Not only the children, but the adults were also confused.

Tang Jiayi was surprised and asked, "Why, why is there a wild boar?"

Zhou Wenqian calmly and quickly made a decision: "Follow them first." She said to the children: "Students, follow the teacher and run down the mountain. Watch your feet and don't fall."

"Teacher Tang, you lead the way and follow the path of the people in front of you. I will follow behind you."

Tang Jiayi nodded and held a child's hand: "Hurry up, everyone follow the teacher and run together."

The children were a little scared, but Teacher Tang was already running in front with two children, so they hurried to catch up. Zhou Wen Qian was behind, holding the slower child.

After all, they had never climbed a mountain before, and soon they were left behind.

Zhou Wen Qian suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned around and saw nothing following them. She listened carefully and found no animal roar except their footsteps and the children's frightened cries.

She was about to call Tang Jiayi, but a child in front of her fell to the ground, bringing down a child next to him.

"Ouch, ouch... My feet hurt so much! I can't run anymore..."

"Xiao Ming, get up quickly!" Fangfang pulled Yang Yongming, but she didn't have enough strength to pull him up.

Zhou Wenqian hurriedly stopped, bent down and helped the child up, "How is it? Can you still walk?"

Yang Yongming covered his left leg and sobbed, "It hurts so much... Teacher, you guys go first, wuwuwu... I, I can't walk anymore." As he spoke, he burst into tears, "I don't want to be eaten by wild boars, wuwuwu..."

Zhou Wen Qian looked ahead and saw that Tang Jiayi had already run away with the other children. Now only Yang Yongming, Fang Fang, and a child held by Zhou Wen Qian were left.

She comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the teacher won't abandon you, and the wild boar didn't catch up with us." Then she squatted down and said, "Come on, I'll carry you down the mountain."

Fangfang looked back and breathed a sigh of relief, "There are no wild boars behind us."

Yang Yongming sobbed and lay on Zhou Wenqian's back: "Thank you, teacher."

Zhou Wenqian said gently, "Don't be afraid, we will be fine." She stood up and said to the other two children, "Fangfang, Dingcai, follow the teacher closely, we will go together."

"Okay." The two children nodded obediently.

Because she was carrying someone on her back, Zhou Wen Qian's pace was much slower than before. After walking for a while, she still didn't hear any movement behind her.

It seems that the wild boar really didn't catch up - Zhou Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.

The main force ahead had disappeared, leaving only dense forest. The only sounds in my ears were footsteps, breathing, and the chirping of birds.

When she was about to reach the turning point in front, Zhou Wenqian saw the branches there moving, and she stopped suddenly.

"Fangfang, Dingcai, don't move!"

After hearing what the teacher said, the two children also stopped.

Zhou Wen Qian took a deep breath and looked straight ahead with a serious expression.

The three children were so frightened by the tense atmosphere that they remained silent.

Suddenly, the branches in front moved again, and footsteps were heard!

Zhou Wen Qian hurriedly said, "Come behind the teacher quickly." She took a step forward and held the child firmly behind her.

Two figures walked out of the woods at the bend.

Seeing that it was a human, Zhou Wen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, we are from the kindergarten attached to the textile factory. Did you see anyone passing by just now?" Zhou Wen Qian asked.

The two people walking towards this side were two men, strong and sturdy, wearing old blue work clothes and tattered straw hats on their heads.

When Zhou Wen Qian saw the people clearly, her pupils froze. These two people were holding guns in their hands!

Two long-barreled hunting rifles.

Zhou Wenqian looked away without changing her expression and said in a calm voice, "Comrades, this is the way down the mountain, right?"

The man on the left raised his gun without saying a word and pointed it at Zhou Wen Qian.

"You, what are you going to do? There are many of us coming out this time, and a group has just gone down. If we don't go down, they will come up the mountain to find us." Zhou Wen Qian stared at the man.

The man on the right pressed the gun of the man on the left, "Old Three, don't shoot yet."

The third brother said, "Second brother, this woman has seen us, we can't leave her alive."

The second brother said, "Why not just take them all away?"

The third child was puzzled and said, "Second brother, it's hard enough for us to take care of two children, why do we need to take care of women?"

The second brother said, "This woman has delicate skin and tender flesh. She looks worth a lot of money. Take the two little boys with her and kill the little girl."

The third brother nodded: "Okay." He raised his gun and said to Zhou Wenqian: "Hey, get out of the way, I'll kill that little girl."

Zhou Wen Qian listened to them talking about the murder lightly and knew that they had encountered a desperado this time, so she protected Fang Fang tightly behind her.

"If you want to kill her, just kill me first." Zhou Wen Qian said firmly.

"Hey, don't be so embarrassed." The man said and pulled the safety catch.

"Third brother, don't shoot yet." The man next to him looked at him again.

"Second brother, you are not interested in this woman, are you?"

"The people who just came down the mountain haven't gone far yet. They can hear the gunshots now. Take these people away together. We can sell the girl together later."

The third brother put away his gun and muttered, "How much is a little girl worth?"

Two men took Zhou Wenqian and the child up the mountain with guns.

With a gun pointed at her head, Zhou Wen Qian had no choice but to obey them and carry Yang Yongming up the mountain. Fang Fang and Ding Cai were so scared that they didn't dare to cry and huddled tightly around Zhou Wen Qian's legs.

"There are wild boars on the mountain." Zhou Wen Qian said to the second brother.

The second brother patted the gun in his hand and said with a smile: "Look what this gun of mine is for."

Zhou Wenqian asked: "Are you hunters?"

The second brother did not answer, but asked: "Are you from the textile factory? You don't have an accent when you speak."

Zhou Wenqian calmed down and said, "I came here to accompany my mother when she remarried. I just came here this year."

The third brother rolled his eyes. The second brother was really interested in this girl and even started chatting with her. He said impatiently, "Let's go. The eldest brother is still waiting for us."

Zhou Wen Qian followed them all the way to the top of the mountain. At the place where they had just rested, Lao Er cleared a patch of trees and led them down a path to the back of the mountain.

The mountain roads here are all rugged, with thorny branches all over the ground, making it very difficult to walk. Fangfang and Dingcai fell several times, but they got up without making a sound.

Although they are still young, they know very clearly that they cannot cry or act coquettishly and can only move forward.

Down the mountain, teachers Li and Wang from the textile factory had already run down

Teacher Li sat on the ground gasping for breath, still in shock, while Teacher Wang was carefully counting the students.

All the children came down, and Teacher Wang breathed a sigh of relief. She gathered the scattered children together to rest.

Meng Yufei was already waiting at the foot of the mountain with Lu Yannan and Xia Qinqin. When she saw them running down in a hurry, she hurried over to ask:

"Teacher Wang, what happened? Why are you running so fast?"

Teacher Wang said: "We encountered a wild boar in the mountains!"

"Wild boar?" Meng Yufei was stunned, and then immediately asked: "What about our kindergarten teachers and children? Where are they?"

Teacher Wang turned around and looked at the road down the mountain behind him. He said, "I remember they were very far behind us. They should be coming down soon. I hope they are okay."

Meng Yufei looked over as she spoke, her eyes filled with anxiety.

After a while, I saw Tang Jiayi running down with the children from a distance. The other adult with them was a parent who came with them.

There was no sign of Zhou Wenqian.

Meng Yufei hurried over and asked, "Teacher Tang, how are you guys?"

Tang Jiayi panted and said, "No, it's okay. Come on, check if the children are here."

Meng Yufei quickly counted the number of people. After counting once, her heart sank. She counted again and said solemnly, "Three children are missing. Teacher Zhou is not here either."

Tang Jiayi was originally bent over to catch her breath, but when she heard this she suddenly looked up and anxiously counted the number of people, and indeed three children were missing.

"Teacher Zhou is following behind us, and he was running so fast that he didn't have time to check the situation behind us. What...what should we do?" Tang Jiayi was so anxious that sweat was all over his forehead.

Meng Yufei stared at the road, then turned around and said loudly, "Teacher Wang, please go to the factory and notify the security department to ask them to send someone to help go up the mountain to look for the person."

Teacher Wang nodded: "Okay." She turned and said, "Teacher Li, you look after the children. I'm going back to the factory." After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the factory.

While Tang Jiayi was comforting the frightened children, she looked up the mountain anxiously.

Meng Yufei looked at the still road and made up her mind. She lowered her head and said, "Qinqin, Yannan, stay here with Teacher Tang and don't run around. Mommy is going to look for someone."

Lu Yannan nodded: "Aunt Meng, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Qinqin."

Xia Qinqin also nodded seriously: "Mom, I won't run around."

Meng Yufei turned around and ran across the street. When she was taking the bus just now, she saw a police station in front of her. If there really were wild boars on the mountain, she would at least have to bring weapons with her to rescue people.

Zhou Wen Qian followed them along the mountain road for a long time, and her face and hands were scratched by branches. The three children had even more cuts.

"We're here." The second brother spoke.

Zhou Wen Qian then realized that they had reached the bottom of the back side of the mountain. Not far ahead was a cliff, and below was the sea with a ship anchored on the sea.

The third brother raised his hand and whistled. After a while, a whistle was heard from the boat below.

The second brother pointed down and said, "Let's go, get on the boat."

After being taken on board, there were two other people in the cabin, a man and a woman. The man had only one eye, and the other eye was staring at Zhou Wen Qian fiercely.

"Why did you bring a woman with you?"

The third brother said, "Brother, I didn't bring this here. It was my second brother who insisted on bringing it here. He fell in love with her and wanted to take her home as his wife."

The woman in the cabin, who looked to be in her thirties or forties and was wearing a Mao suit, sat on a chair in the middle, her eyes moving back and forth between Zhou Wen Qian and the three children.

The one-eyed man, known as the boss, turned to look at the woman sitting on the chair, as if asking for her opinion.

The woman looked at Zhou Wen Qian and slowly frowned.

She looked at the one-eyed man and shook her head slightly.

The one-eyed man sighed and said with some regret: "Take them to the cabin below."

Zhou Wen Qian sat on the wooden board in the lower cabin. It was pitch black around her. Perhaps because she thought they were just women and children and had no ability to resist, she did not tie them up but simply closed the cabin door.

"Xiao Ming, does your leg still hurt?"

"Yeah, it hurts..." Yang Yongming said in a low voice with a crying voice.

Zhou Wenqian held the three children by her side and comforted them softly, "Don't worry, we will be fine. Someone will come to rescue us soon."
