Chapter 375 Recognizing Each Other
Tang Bao was hand-tied and gagged by the prison boss who came to pick her up, and was shoved into a dark, spacious, and crowded cell.
The heavy iron door slammed shut behind her, raising a cloud of dust.
The laborers who were sitting or lying in the house seemed to have heard nothing. They dared not move or say a word, looking like they had been trained to be very obedient.
At the same moment Tang Bao stepped into the labor camp, another boy who was over seven years old was quietly let out from the side door by the guards. The child ran out like crazy. He looked at Tang Bao's thin figure without any guilt!
The warden's hoarse voice echoed in the corridor, impatient: "Are you all ready?"
The guard flatteredly replied, "Don't worry. Tomorrow morning, this girl will slip and fall into the dry well. She will be so badly mangled that you won't even be able to tell if she's a boy or a girl... Then, according to the old rules, she'll be thrown into the mass grave in the back mountain. The deal will be done!"
“…”
It was like this...Tang Bao clenched his fists tightly in the dark, his nails digging deep into his palms.
It turns out that all the children who were abducted to labor camps would end up dying without a burial place!
These people have such dark hearts!
She must destroy this cannibalistic "industry" in the labor camp with her own hands!
Let all those who do evil pay the price!
Late at night, the cell was filled with snoring, sobbing, and talking in sleep... Little Tangbao curled up on the hardwood board in an extremely uncomfortable position. The endless running around and the mental tension along the way made her, a small person, very tired, and she fell asleep just like that.
In the darkness, a thin figure quietly approached her and reached out to try to untie the rope around her wrist.
Little Tangbao suddenly woke up. She was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she found that her mouth was still stuffed with the musty rag. She could only whimper softly from her throat...
"Shh-"
A deliberately low, hoarse child's voice suddenly sounded in her ears:
"Don't shout! I won't hurt you! I just heard your stomach rumbling, so I wanted to untie you so you can eat and sleep."
Yun Yian had been in the labor camp for more than five years. He knew that any child sent there alone was most likely a scapegoat bought by others with money and would not survive more than ten hours!
Sister Tang Bao once said that there really are ghosts and the underworld in this world...
His ability is limited and he can't help anyone...Since this is the case, he hopes that these poor people will at least not starve to death!
"......" Tang Bao blinked his big eyes, which were still clear in the darkness, and his brain was working rapidly.
Judging from the other person's voice... he should be young, a child...
And I am really starving now, and my stomach is rumbling from time to time...so, the other party should not be lying.
This boy must be a kind-hearted person. Kind people won't do bad things unless they have no choice! And... being tied up like this is really uncomfortable for her!
So the little guy stopped making any sound, and even cooperated by raising his hands slightly, allowing the pair of hands, which looked a little clumsy in the dark and had thin calluses, to slowly untie the ropes around his wrists.
As the rope loosened, Tang Bao frowned at the stinging pain caused by the blood flowing back.
She immediately tore off the disgusting rag from her mouth, and after unable to help vomiting, she made two "Pooh" sounds, took out a fire starter from her Qiankun bag, and blew it gently to light it.
The weak flame barely dispelled a small area of darkness, and also reflected a face that was somewhat familiar, but appeared too thin due to long-term malnutrition.
Yun Yian squinted his eyes due to the sudden brightness, then stared at the other person without blinking...
When he met Tang Bao's exceptionally clear light grey eyes, his heart was pounding wildly and he could hardly believe his eyes!
"Tangbao...sister?" His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, trembling with disbelief.
When he first arrived at the labor camp, the people in my grandparents' family were hinted by the prison boss and wanted to buy a substitute to release him, but he refused!
He always remembered what Sister Tangbao said when they parted ways. She said she would definitely come to see him...
Unexpectedly, she actually came! In such a way! ?
"You are...Brother Yi'an?!" Almost at the same time, Xiao Tangbao also recognized the other party!
Although more than five years had passed and the other person had changed a lot...but the outline between his eyebrows and the familiar sense of concern made her instantly confirm that he was Brother Yi'an who had saved and helped her before!
The two children did not hug each other and cry, but just raised the corners of their lips and looked at each other without blinking.
......
The cell was not a monolithic entity. Most of the people in the cell were members of the Wei family, with only a few newcomers who were trying to buy Tang Bao's life.
When they heard how Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess entered the labor camp, they couldn't help but shudder.
This kid is so brave!
His Royal Highness the Regent and the Grand Empress Dowager can't find her, so they must be going crazy with worry, right?
In order to prevent the buyer from betraying Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the Wei family members suddenly jumped up from their seats when they were sure that Yun Yian said the word "Tangbao"!
They quickly controlled those people, covering their mouths, pressing their hands...
Faced with the sudden change, the two children were startled at first, and then they reacted.
Tang Bao is a child with principles, but the other party has done so many evil things and was caught by her on the spot, so don't blame her for being cruel despite her small size!
She fumbled in her Qiankun bag for a moment, took out the chronic poison specially prepared for her by Doctor Xu, asked the Wei family for help, and fed it to the subdued villains one by one.
From the frightened other party, Xiao Tangbao learned that the child who was released before was the only son of a convicted prefect.
The magistrate's surname was Du. Not only was he corrupt and perverted the law, he also raped a woman and caused a death... The victim fought desperately to bring the case to the attention of Xijing City, and finally he got justice for his daughter.
The prefect had been beheaded long ago and his property had been seized and confiscated.
Except for those members of the Du family who broke the law, the rest of the family members of the three clans were sent to this labor camp.
They wanted to leave roots for the Du family, so they listened to the advice of the jailer and, with their help, used their connections outside, took the dirty silver that had been secretly hidden and not discovered, and did this thing of using someone else's body as a substitute!
He really refuses to repent!
