Chapter 76 076 Saved Someone
Qin Xiaoxiao's first reaction was to leave as quickly as possible.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately took three big steps back, turned around and ran.
She thought of Qin Gouzi, the child who had gone missing in the village. If he had been taken away by human traffickers and they didn't want to be discovered, they might have taken the child up the mountain.
Thinking about the children and women who had gone missing in the county and town recently, Qin Xiaoxiao immediately connected the two things together, meaning that human traffickers were very likely hiding in the thorn forest.
In this situation, what is she waiting for if she doesn't run? Is she waiting for someone to come and arrest her?
As for fear, she wasn't afraid. She had a lot of firearms in her space, and if a fight broke out, who knew who would die? But she didn't want to take risks. Anyone who has died once knows that personal safety is more important than anything else.
Qin Xiaoxiao stopped running after about ten minutes, panting heavily as she looked back. When she saw that no one was following her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Resting against a large tree, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder how likely it was that human traffickers were hiding in the thorny forest. If there really were human traffickers, then her uncle Qin Feng...
This area is near Qinjiagou, and another child has gone missing in the village. If these traffickers are exposed and the police arrive, the consequences will be dire…
Her uncle will inevitably be implicated.
Qin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, thinking about her time with the Qin family, their protection and pampering, Qin Ye doing the work of two people for her, and Old Madam Qin's selfless love for her. Qin Xiaoxiao cursed under her breath and turned to run away.
Regardless, she needed to find out if there were really human traffickers inside, and if so...
Ma Di! (place name)
Her meddlesome nature has flared up again. Despite being a weakling, she still stubbornly rushes into dangerous places.
Qin Xiaoxiao really wanted to slap herself twice and then pretend she knew nothing and keep the matter a secret, but she really couldn't just ignore it. She couldn't live with herself, especially since there was Qin Gouzi involved, which would also implicate her uncle, and there was a possibility that many innocent children and women would be trafficked. She encountered it, but turned a blind eye. Was she even human?
Qin Xiaoxiao helplessly buried her head and ran wildly, but her speed was really not very fast. In addition, she had been running for more than ten minutes and was already very tired. She had to rest twice on the way back before she could run back.
Upon reaching the edge of the thorny thicket, Qin Xiaoxiao did not rush in. Instead, she stood outside to calm herself down and waited until her breathing stabilized before putting on gloves, clearing away the thorns, and entering.
After taking a few steps, Qin Xiaoxiao took out another mask from her spatial storage and put it on, afraid that the thorns on the brambles would scratch her face.
After getting ready, Qin Xiaoxiao went inside again.
After walking cautiously for five or six minutes without finding anything unusual, Qin Xiaoxiao thought she might be overthinking things and was about to give up when she suddenly noticed a patch of sparse thorns ahead where green peeked through.
Has this meant they've gone out into the world?
Qin Xiaoxiao walked forward even more cautiously. Finally, she walked out of the thorn forest, but stood still at the edge of the forest, staring at the cave opposite with her mouth agape.
Good heavens! What kind of life does she have!
There's a hidden paradise behind the thorn bushes!
Fortunately, there was no one outside the cave. Qin Xiaoxiao waited for a long time but no one came out of the cave. Looking at the ground, there were footprints and a pile of ashes. There could not be any large animals in the cave. It was 100% certain that people lived here.
Qin Xiaoxiao held her breath and waited quietly for more than half an hour. Her legs were about to go numb, but she still didn't see anyone come out. So Qin Xiaoxiao decided to go into the cave to take a look.
Looking around and not seeing anyone, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly rushed into the cave and pressed herself against the cave wall to listen, but there was no sound from inside.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to let her guard down and cautiously made her way into the cave. It was very dark inside, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take out a flashlight. She could only wait until her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the cave before continuing to walk in.
The cave was long and narrow, with a bend in the middle. Qin Xiaoxiao was extremely careful with every step she took, looking down carefully at her feet, afraid that someone might have set a trap or that she might have kicked a small stone and attracted the attention of the people inside the cave.
Trembling with fear, Qin Xiaoxiao walked to the innermost part of the cave, where it was so dark she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. Her heart was pounding because she could hear breathing coming from inside.
The breathing was heavy, as if someone was sick. Qin Xiaoxiao frowned, thought for a moment, and decisively took out a machete from her space, along with a flashlight.
Holding a machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Qin Xiaoxiao turned on the power and shone it on the spot where the breathing was heavy. Her gaze followed the light, and when she could see the situation inside, she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was only a small child lying on the ground in the cave, and nothing else in the cave.
Qin Xiaoxiao checked carefully again and found no other people or animals before squatting down to pick up the child.
After looking him over, Qin Xiaoxiao was certain she didn't recognize the child. Judging from his build and clothes, she guessed he was probably the Qin Gouzi who had gone missing in the village.
Qin Xiaoxiao touched the child's forehead and found that he had a fever, so she quickly picked him up and walked out of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Qin Xiaoxiao put Qin Gouzi down on the ground, took out a sack from her spatial storage, and put him inside.
She was afraid of encountering human traffickers on the way. If she didn't see the child, she might be able to fool them. But if she carelessly took the child back, what if they ran into each other and a fight broke out?
Even if she wins the fight, what will she say afterward? Where did she get the firearms? Where did she learn all those skills?
It's hard to explain!
As I always say, your life is more important.
For the sake of her own life, she had no choice but to make the child suffer.
After finally managing to get out of the thorny forest carrying a sack, Qin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded again.
Where should she go?
She forgot that she was lost.
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, "What bad luck!"
The child had a high fever, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else. She just picked a direction and started walking.
Fortunately, after walking for a short while, Qin Xiaoxiao realized that the place looked familiar. Then, relying on her senses, she turned a corner and walked for another ten minutes or so before finally finding the right path.
Walking down the path, she didn't encounter a single person along the way. Since she was almost at the foot of the mountain and felt there was no danger, Qin Xiaoxiao relaxed slightly.
"ah!"
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was relaxing and looking forward to getting home, a person suddenly appeared behind the big tree, startling her.
Startled, she loosened her grip, and the sack containing the child fell to the ground, its opening revealing Qin Gouzi inside with his eyes tightly closed.
Looking up, Su Lu rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at the sack on the ground, then awkwardly raised her hand, "Hi! Hmm...long time no see?"
Oh my god! How did I run into him again?
