When Xiao Lingling was locked up, she received no special treatment. Not only were her arms and legs tied up, but her mouth was also stuffed with rags.
Only after the door of the room was locked again did Xiao Lingling quietly use a dagger to cut the rope that bound her.
She took the cloth out of her mouth, ran to the door and listened carefully. After making sure that there was no one outside, she dared to move.
Most of the seven children in the room were awake. When they saw that she could move freely, they widened their eyes and struggled for her to save them.
Xiao Lingling didn't want them to cause trouble for her, so she just checked them one by one and breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that they were not injured.
"Phew~~~ Fortunately, none of you were hurt!"
Several children were in tears and kept stammering to her, and Xiao Lingling frowned.
"Don't worry, wait a moment, I'll think of a solution first!"
Little Bell hid in the innermost corner, made a gesture with her little hands, her fingertips glowed slightly, and she was muttering something.
On the other side, the talisman paper stuffed into Wu Bokai's clothes also began to glow.
Soon the pattern on it changed and turned into an arrow pointing directly in the direction of the small bell.
This is the talisman that Xiao Lingling specially left for Wu Bokai. It has her breath on it, and it is meant to guide him.
Unfortunately, Wu Bokai was leading the yamen runners to search the streets for people at that moment and didn't notice it at all.
The little bell continued to ring for about half a quarter of an hour. Seeing that the talisman still had no response, he could only sigh helplessly.
Originally, she wanted to let Wu Bokai, under the guidance of Fu Zhi, catch the criminals red-handed.
However, she remembered that those people said they would sell the children the next day.
Therefore, she could only wait until night. If Wu Bokai still couldn't find her at night, she would have to do it herself!
She approached the children and whispered, "I can let you go, but you can't make any noise.
Besides, I can only untie the cloth from your mouths. Otherwise, if those bad guys come to check, we will be exposed.
But don't worry, I left some traces when I came here, and someone will come to rescue us soon. We will have news by evening at the latest.
So, you are not allowed to cry or do anything rash. Otherwise, I will be really angry!"
In order to scare these little brats, she pulled out a piece of firewood as thick as her arm and gently broke it with both hands.
Broken...
Just at this moment, the children's eyes immediately changed from desire to fear.
Everyone quickly shook their heads to indicate that they didn't dare, and then Xiao Lingling smiled with satisfaction.
She opened the cloth for each of the seven people one by one, took out a few pieces of candy from her bosom, and stuffed one into each person's mouth.
"Be good, now tell me quietly when you were abducted? Whose families are they from?"
Little Bell casually picked up a piece of firewood and put it under her butt, looking very interested, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
This is my first time to listen to a live opera.
A chubby little boy next to her sniffed. There was a bright red slap mark on his face, half of his face was swollen, and he spoke incoherently.
"Oh, I got the first pot, from the Wang family in the east of the city. They are so mean, not only don't they give me food, but they also beat me."
After saying that, he sucked back the snot that was about to reach his mouth. It was really weird... disgusting...
Little Bell sat a little further away in disgust. "Tsk, I bet you got hit because you didn't obey, right? Tell me, what did you do?"
The little boy felt a little guilty when he heard this.
He, he didn't do anything.
He was just hungry and wanted to eat meat.
This is how he ate when he was at home. But these people not only kidnapped him, but also made him eat dry and hard steamed buns. He definitely didn't want that.
Then, he started throwing a tantrum, then he was beaten, and then, even his steamed buns were gone.
He was almost starving to death... and he was almost regretting it to death.
If I had known he would be hungry, I would have even given him steamed buns. He would have starved to death!
When Xiao Lingling saw that he didn't say anything, she knew that she had guessed right and glanced at him with disgust.
Afterwards, Xiao Lingdang asked the remaining six people, and it turned out that most of the things were robbed during these three days.
Even the child she had just heard about in the morning was here. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. He just cried and shook his head frantically.
Little Lingling was afraid of scaring them, so she didn't ask too many questions.
On the other side, Zhao wandered around the alley for a long time but didn't find the human trafficker. Instead, he ran into Wu Bokai who came here to look for someone.
Wu Bokai saw her panic-stricken face and thought to himself, "Aunt Zhao, what's wrong with you? Why are you here?"
When Zhao saw that it was him, she seemed to have just remembered something and knelt down in front of Wu Bokai with a thud.
"Sir! Sir, please, please save our Lingling! She, she was kidnapped by human traffickers, please find her back!"
Wu Bokai was dumbfounded. He never expected that the child he had just held in his arms would disappear in the blink of an eye.
He immediately asked about Zhao's situation.
Zhao took him to the place where Xiao Lingdang disappeared. Wu Bokai immediately arranged for the yamen runners to disperse here and search around along this road.
Lin Changshu had hurried back with his family by now. The large group of more than a dozen people blocked the alley in an instant.
"Old lady, how is it? Have you found it? Are there any traces?"
Zhao shook her head with a look of dejection, her voice hoarse and trembling, "No, no trace at all!"
After saying that, I started crying uncontrollably.
Fang also went crazy. She quickly walked up to Qiaomei and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
"Qiaomei, tell me where you are in danger? What does the person who took Xiao Lingling away look like? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"
Qiaomei was already injured this time, and she didn't dare to rest in order to find Xiao Lingling. The violent shaking made her cough uncontrollably.
Lin Feng also looked at Qiaomei anxiously, but still took his wife's hand off Qiaomei's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, Qiaomei. Just tell me what you saw. Say whatever you can remember!"
Qiaomei nodded, suppressed the dull pain in her chest, pointed to the place where she and Xiao Lingling were robbed, and recounted the situation at that time.
The two men had their faces covered, so she couldn't see clearly, but she remembered clearly that the man holding the little bell had a big black mole at the corner of his eyebrow.
Wu Bokai grasped the key information and immediately asked the yamen runners to focus on finding people with such appearance characteristics.
The Lin family also scattered and searched everywhere for people.
