An An now had only one thought in mind, she wanted to escape back to the capital, she wanted to find her mother, but she was too young, and her weak body could not outrun the adults who were chasing her.
After a while, the woman held her in her arms. An An struggled hard to break free, shouting,
"Let me go, let me go, you are bad people."
The woman hugged An An tightly. An An saw this and bit down hard on her arm. The woman cried out "Ah" and was about to attack, but when she saw Leng Xi looking at her with a pair of sharp eyes, she endured the pain and smiled at An An, comforting him:
"An An, we are not bad people, we are your father and your mother..."
When An An was struggling to break free, she saw Leng Xi standing not far away. She stretched out her hand to him and called out with longing eyes,
"Uncle, save me, I don't want to go with them, they are not my parents..."
"Uncle, please take me away. I don't want to stay here."
"Please, don't leave me here. I'm scared."
"uncle……"
"uncle……"
An An's cries echoed in the mountains, but Leng Xi still stood there without moving, although he wanted to rush over and hold An An in his arms to comfort her.
But reason prevailed at this time. He knew that he could not do that. This child must not return to the capital.
Then, he slowed down his voice and said softly:
"An An, they are your father and mother, you should go home with them. Uncle...Uncle has something to do and can't take you with him."
"No, I don't want to go home with them. I want to be with my uncle. Uncle, please don't go. Please don't go..."
Leng Xi turned around at her crying, and walked forward step by step. He suddenly felt that his legs seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, as if holding him up and preventing him from moving forward.
"Uncle...don't go."
An An's voice had become a little hoarse. Leng Xi clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and stopped, then took big, quick strides and walked away.
He knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to be cruel.
For the sake of his own grand cause, to cause more trouble to Leng Yu, and to avoid being exposed by this little girl, he absolutely cannot be soft-hearted. Besides, he only gave the child to someone else and did not hurt her.
He tried hard to comfort himself in his heart, he was looking for a reason that could make him feel at ease...
An An looked at Leng Xi's back and stopped crying in despair.
The middle-aged woman holding her hurriedly whispered to comfort her:
"An An, that uncle will come back to see you later. Let's go home with Dad and Mom."
Although An An knew that these two people were not her father and mother, she was a little scared when she saw this deserted place.
For some reason, when she was with Leng Xi, although she was afraid, she knew that Leng Xi would not harm her.
But facing these two strangers, she felt unsure and had no idea how they would treat her.
While she was thinking about this, the woman had already carried her onto the carriage. An An no longer struggled, because she knew she couldn't get away.
"Hurry up and get the bus home"
She climbed onto the carriage while urging the man to drive.
Her face was always filled with a triumphant smile. She had been poor for half her life, but she never expected to encounter such a good thing on her way back from visiting relatives in the capital.
At first, when the man in black told her this, she didn't believe it. She felt that there was no such good thing in the world. He could get a maid and a hundred taels of silver for free.
Now she believed it. Not only that, they also got a carriage for free. This was really a blessing from God, hahahaha.
Thinking of this, she hugged the silver and laughed secretly.
An An looked at the unfriendly woman in front of her and asked timidly:
"Where are we...going?"
The woman rolled her eyes and laughed, revealing her yellow teeth.
"Let's go home. You are our daughter. Have you forgotten?"
At this point, she seemed to remember something and knocked her head.
"Oh, yes, you have lost your memory. Let me tell you, you are our daughter. Your name is Ni Xiaohong. From now on, I am your mother, and the driver is your father."
Ni Xiaohong?
An An hated Leng Xi in her heart for a while. He was so hateful that he actually sold his niece who had the same surname as him, and sold her to such a disgusting-looking woman.
"Then...where is our home?"
"It's in Fanjiatun. We'll be there soon."
Hearing this strange name and this strange place, An An's heart kept beating wildly.
She was very clear-headed at this moment. She had to ensure her own safety first before she could have a chance to find a way to escape. So, she listened to everything the woman said, and seemed to have no doubt at all.
After asking these questions, she stopped talking and dozed off with her eyes closed. She needed to get enough rest so that she could find a way to escape.
"Xiaohong, we're home."
The woman's shouting woke An An, who was dozing off.
She rubbed her eyes, looked at the woman in front of her, and timidly climbed down from the carriage.
The scene before her stunned her.
What appeared before her was a dilapidated thatched house. From the insignificant wooden door, it could be seen that the family was very poor.
At this time, two children of the same age as An An ran out of the house, shouting as they ran.
"Mom, you said you would buy us some meat. Did you buy it?"
Another child with a dirty face saw An An, pointed at her, and asked in confusion:
