Luo Shimiao said loudly, "Figure it out yourself, we're leaving now."
Zheng Xiaopeng waved his hand and said in a strong voice, "Send drones."
On the way up the mountain, Lai Meiqi looked back and realized the photographer hadn't followed: "Are we just giving up like this?"
"Look up." Luo Shimiao looked up at the sky, where a drone was silently following them.
Her lips twitched: "They didn't even say hello, like thieves."
......
In front of the pink treehouse,
“I’ve brought you food, you two ‘prisoners’ inside,” Luo Shimiao said, knocking on the door.
After waiting a while, the pink door opened from the inside, and a listless, handsome face appeared before them.
Luo Jianxing saw the basin in her hand, and expressionlessly took the food out of it and went back to the room. When he came out again, he was carrying two empty bowls stacked together. He put them into the vegetable washing basin and closed the door without saying a word.
Lai Meiqi pointed to the tightly closed door and asked, "What's wrong with your third brother?"
She chuckled and carried the basin under her arm as she walked back: "I was too tired and didn't get enough rest."
"Oh, this..." Knowing that she wouldn't ask, she stopped asking.
Halfway down the mountain, Lai Meiqi saw the green treehouse in front of her and took out her phone to take a picture: "It's so beautiful."
Luo Shimiao stood still and waited quietly for her to finish taking pictures.
Let's go.
“You came up here with me and only took a few photos. You might as well have stayed inside and rested.”
Lai Meiqi shook her head: "Life lies in movement."
The two chatted about this and that as they slowly walked down the mountain.
Luo Shimiao pointed to the big tree in front of them and said, "Let's sit there for a while and I'll take some beautiful photos of you in the woods."
"Okay, okay."
She looked at a spot ahead, her expression changed, and she shoved the sink into her hands: "I'm afraid we can't film this."
Lai Meiqi asked in confusion, "Why?"
"That man was carrying a boy and acting suspiciously; he could very well be a human trafficker," Luo Shimiao pointed ahead.
A hundred meters away from them, a man wearing black pants and a brown jacket was carrying a boy in his arms and was running hurriedly up the mountain. His figure disappeared into the woods.
Luo Shimiao rushed in the direction where the man had disappeared and shouted to the drone overhead, "Fly over there quickly and find him!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the slowly flying drone sped up and flew over.
Lai Meiqi dropped her bowl and followed, but Luo Shimiao ran too fast and left her far behind.
Luo Shimiao saw the man halfway up the mountain and shouted, "Put him down!"
The man turned around immediately upon hearing her voice. He was wearing a mask, but when he saw that no one was behind her, he stopped and said in a flippant tone, "Beautiful lady, you're chasing after a grown man like me. Do you want to come home with me?"
The little boy in his arms cried and said, "Sister, save me, I don't know this person."
"Shut up, or I'll kill you," the man said fiercely.
"He really is a human trafficker." Luo Shimiao ran up in one breath, looking at the man's malicious eyes, and said calmly, "You waited for me on purpose, were you planning to kidnap me too?"
"She's a smart beauty." His eyes lingered on her. "I've hit the jackpot today. Someone so beautiful is sure to fetch a good price."
A drone hidden among the leaves transmitted the footage and conversation below to the live stream.
[Sister Miao, beat him! Beat him hard! I hate human traffickers the most!]
[Bright daytime child abduction in the village—just as the grandmother described, it's outrageous! Could it be the same group? They failed last month, and they're back again this month.]
[If he hadn't been discovered, he would have really succeeded. He even tried to take Luo Shimiao with him. How naive! Is his brother on 2G?]
The production crew notified nearby villagers, and they're on their way. Good heavens, they're all carrying sticks and hoes! The human traffickers are doomed.
Luo Shimiao put his hands on his hips, glanced around, and snorted coldly: "You alone can't catch me."
"Shi Miao, be careful!" Lai Meiqi said breathlessly, leaning against a tree.
The man felt uneasy when he saw Lai Meiqi below: "Brother Sheng, come and help us quickly. Tie this woman up and then leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crisp sound of dry leaves being crushed underfoot rang out.
A man wearing a black hat emerged from behind a tree, carrying a stick as thick as a wrist, and charged down.
A sinister smile played on his lips, and his sclera gleamed with menacing light: "Little sister, you've got quite the nerve. Your arm isn't even as thick as the stick in my hand. If you don't want to suffer, then come with us obediently."
Luo Shimiao stared intently at the man less than two meters away, covered her mouth, and pretended to be scared, saying, "You...you don't come any closer."
"Pockmarked guy, grab the child and run! The woman downstairs is very likely calling for help."
"Okay, hurry up and deal with this woman." After he finished speaking, he picked up the boy and ran upstairs, the little boy's mouth was covered so he couldn't make a sound.
The man with the stick walked up to Luo Shimiao, but before he could make a move, the stick was snatched from his hand. Looking at his empty hand, he was horrified.
That power! That speed! He turned and ran.
"It's too late now." Luo Shimiao chased after him with a stick in hand, and struck him on the back of the neck.
The man's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
The man, who had run a short distance, turned around and saw this scene. His heart sank, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. He dropped the child and changed direction, running to the left.
Luo Shimiao raised the stick, aimed at the back of his knee, and threw it forcefully.
"Ah!" the man cried out in pain, his leg, which had been struck, causing him to kneel on the ground.
He crawled forward a few steps in a disheveled state, then stood up despite the pain and continued running.
Luo Shimiao, who had caught up, kicked him two meters away. The man crashed head-on into a tree trunk, clutching his lower body and groaning in pain.
He suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, opened his mouth in one direction, but before he could utter a syllable, it was blocked by the sole of his shoe.
Luo Shimiao put one hand on her hip, stepped on his mouth with her right foot, and looked down at him coldly: "Trying to call your accomplices to run away?"
"Waaah..." He raised his hand to punch Luo Shimiao's feet.
She grabbed the trafficker's left hand, released his right foot, and lifted him up, pinning him to the ground to ensure he could breathe without making a sound.
Lai Meiqi ran up and hugged the frightened child, comforting him: "Don't cry, don't cry, the bad guys have been defeated."
A cacophony of footsteps could be heard below.
The villagers brought their tools up the mountain and surrounded the two human traffickers.
Some villagers went around to the back of the mountain to find their accomplices.
Gu Nian carried Luo Luo to Luo Shimiao, looked her up and down, and was completely relieved to see that she was not injured.
Although I know she's skilled enough not to get hurt, I'm still worried and scared.
Luo Shimiao smiled at him: "I'm fine."
A villager checked the unconscious trafficker's breathing with his hand: "He's still breathing; he's probably just passed out."
"Carry him away? That's too lenient on him."
Luo Shimiao squeezed in and said with a smile, "I'll do it."
