Chapter 565: Angelica (4)
"It's really not possible." Xiao Jingwen said in an unusually strong tone, "Xi'er, just give up this idea!"
I remember a year ago, Xier ran out to play after the rain and caught a cold and fell ill. She had a high fever for a long time and almost went crazy.
Xiao Jingwen was frightened, and she learned her lesson. She would avoid going out on rainy days to prevent Xier from catching a cold. If she really couldn't avoid catching a cold, she would drink ginger soup as first aid.
The little girl is delicate and needs to be taken good care of.
"Okay." Feng Wenxi seemed unable to win over Xiao Jingwen and accepted her fate. But in fact, the little girl was planning something in her mind. She would slip away under the pretext of going to the urinal.
The little girl really followed the plan and slipped away when the opportunity arose.
It was quarter of an hour later when Xiao Jingwen learned that the little girl had slipped away. She was so frightened that she felt as if the sky was falling. She felt weak all over and could not even stand steadily. She could only hold the hand of the maid next to her to barely stand.
"Xi'er, how could she be so bold? How dare she sneak out alone?"
"She's only six years old. She doesn't know anything. She's also a little girl. What if she gets kidnapped?"
"Quick, send someone to look for it."
"Go out and look for them."
Xiao Jingwen was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her tongue trembled when she spoke.
"You guys go too." Xiao Jingwen said to the two maids who were supporting her, "I don't need anyone to serve me here. Finding Xi'er is more important."
"Xier is the daughter that Tianmo has always been looking forward to. Nothing must happen to her, absolutely not." Xiao Jingwen murmured as she went out to look for her.
After Feng Wenjin learned the news, he did not sit still and hurried out to look for someone. Like Xiao Jingwen, he was almost going crazy with anxiety.
After all, Xier was raised by him and his mother with great effort. Although he is the eldest brother, he is not an ordinary brother. He has always upheld the responsibility of an eldest brother as a father and has taken good care of Xier.
Now that Xier is missing, he is as worried as Xiao Jingwen.
How could Feng Wenxi know this? At this moment, she was asking around on the street, where did the beggar who begged for food at the door of Sifang Inn two days ago go? She had something to ask him.
The little girl was fair and tender, and looked very cute and likable. People who were questioned by her couldn't help but want to talk to her a few more words.
"Little girl, why are you looking for that beggar?"
Because Lao Feng would go crazy and beat people up at any time, he had some fame in Youlan City. When others mentioned him, they knew who he was.
Does the person who is talking to Feng Wenxi know who Feng Wenxi is asking about?
However, he did not say it immediately, but asked another question.
The little girl raised her fair and tender face, looked at the boss selling lanterns in front of her, and said, "I don't know why I want to look for him. I just want to find him." She wanted to find him very much, so much that the little girl felt confused.
"That man is very fierce. You'd better stop looking for him and go home quickly."
"Be careful not to bump into him, it's bad luck."
The boss kindly advised the girl.
The little girl shook her head like a rattle, still with a stubborn look on her face: "No, I won't go home, I will find him, if I can't find him, I won't go back."
When the boss heard this, he sighed deeply, and finally searched his stall and found a small, inexpensive, but very cute little tiger-shaped lantern. He handed it to the little girl and said in a coaxing tone, "Take this and go home quickly."
"There are bad guys on this street. If you are kidnapped by them, it will be terrible."
On the surface, Youlan City looks peaceful and prosperous, but recently, many human traffickers have appeared, kidnapping and selling children, especially girls. I heard that many of them have died tragically.
This little girl in front of me is so cute. I hope she is safe and nothing happens to her.
"I'm so cute that bad guys won't kidnap me." The little girl looked at the little tiger lantern the boss gave her and said, "This lantern is really interesting. Uncle, here's the money."
The little girl rummaged through her purse, took out a few gold leaves, and placed them on the boss's stall on tiptoe.
The boss didn't take it seriously at first, thinking how much money could a child take out? Besides, he was the one who gave the lantern to the little girl, so he couldn't take the money from the little girl, and he didn't care.
"No charge." The boss said this and went about his own business. If a customer wanted to buy lanterns, he had to greet them.
The little girl did not take back the gold leaf. She looked at the shopkeeper and wanted to ask him where the beggar was. But seeing that the shopkeeper was busy, she took the lantern and left to ask for the whereabouts of the beggar.
The boss was busy with his own business and didn't even notice the gold leaves the little girl had put there.
After a while, the proprietress came back and saw a few gold leaves on the stall. She covered her mouth in shock and said, "Where did these gold leaves come from? There are so many of them."
The proprietress hurried forward, picked up the gold leaves, held them in her hands, looked at them as if they were treasures, and even took a bite of them, "They are real."
When the boss heard this, he finally noticed the gold leaf. He walked up to the boss lady in disbelief and asked, "Let me see it?"
After looking at it, the boss said with emotion: "It's just a lantern, but the girl actually gave so much money. She is really generous. It's obvious that she is not a person who likes to take advantage of others. She has an extraordinary temperament."
"I guess she must be the eldest daughter of some family? She ran away on her own."
The lady boss said, "You are right."
The boss nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Even for the sake of the gold leaf, we can't let the girl be kidnapped."
"I have to follow her and take a look. The street the little girl went to is full of human traffickers. We must not let anything happen to her."
The boss went after the girl.
Although the proprietress had some objections, she did not stop it.
.
As for the little girl, she walked forward for a while, then stopped and asked the owner of a nearby stall where the beggar who had begged at the door of Sifang Inn had gone.
This time, she was not as lucky as before. She met a good man who asked nothing of her, gave her toys, and even worried about her safety.
At this moment, the little girl met a man selling sachets.
He looks like he's selling sachets, but in fact, he's a human trafficker.
Ren Yazi looked at the little girl with shining eyes through the sachet hanging in front of him, thinking: I am so lucky today, I have come across a good item, the little girl in front of me is so pretty and cute!
If she were sold to someone as a child bride, she would definitely fetch a good price.
Or, sell her to a brothel and let the madam train her from a young age. When she grows up, she will definitely become a top prostitute and make a lot of money.
"Little girl, do you want to find that beggar uncle?" Renyazi said with a smile: "Come on, uncle will take you to find him. Uncle knows where he lives."
