Chapter 504 Playing House
In the blink of an eye, it was the 25th day of the first lunar month, and ten days had passed since Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen disappeared.
The government worked together to set up checkpoints in various places and conduct strict inspections.
But so far nothing has been achieved.
Zijuan was completely desperate.
So many days have passed, is there still hope of finding her child?
Her sister Chen was so beautiful and lovely, she couldn't even imagine what kind of situation she would end up in the future.
Zijuan fell seriously ill, and the entire Lu family was in chaos.
At this time, brother and sister Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen were still drifting on the boat. They were the only two left in the cabin. The rest of the children had been sold in Hangzhou.
Most of the skinny horses in Hangzhou have been trained since childhood. The girls they abducted this time were all beauties and were sold at a good price.
Lu Xingchen was beautiful and lovely, and could have been sold, but she fell ill after getting on the boat. She was so sick that she was in a coma and was half dead. The madam didn't like her when she saw her, but instead fell in love with Lu Yanxiu.
This child is handsome and can be well trained.
But the human trafficker Lao Yangtou did not agree.
“He won’t sell it.”
My granddaughter has taken a fancy to him, so it would be nice to take him home to be her child husband.
Old Yang boarded the boat with a heavy load of silver and headed south again.
His son Yang Dazhui and daughter-in-law Liao began to count the money, while his little granddaughter Hehua circled around Lu Yanxiu.
This family has the most plain and unpretentious faces, and looks like honest farmers, but no one would have thought that what they are doing behind the scenes is actually the human trafficking business.
Their friendly and simple temperament became the best disguise.
Hehua is seven years old this year. She is dark and a little strong, and not very good-looking.
It was this rustic and honest appearance that became her disguise. No one was wary of her, and she helped her family abduct a lot of good stuff.
She looked at Lu Yanxiu with stars in her eyes.
"Brother Yanxiu, are you hungry? I'll bring you something to eat."
Lu Yanxiu smiled and spoke gently, "I'm not hungry. Lotus, is there any medicine on the boat? My sister has a high fever and needs some medicine to reduce the fever. Can you help me get it?"
When Lotus heard him being so gentle to her, shyness flashed in her eyes.
But when she saw Lu Xingchen's fair and lovely face, malicious jealousy burst out in her heart again.
Why is she so beautiful, but I am dark and ugly?
"It's just right that she's dead. We can just throw her into the sea and save her the trouble of burying her."
A faint light flashed in Lu Yanxiu's eyes. "She is my sister, I don't want her to die. What's more, it took so much effort to get us away from the capital, and if she just died like this, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Good Lotus, I know you are the kindest."
Lotus was unmoved at first, but after hearing these words, she suddenly became happy.
"Well, since you've said that, I'll make her some medicine. If she survives, we can sell her for a good price."
Lotus turned and went out.
Lu Yanxiu looked at her back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Looking down at the little person in his arms whose face was already flushed red, his eyes were full of pity.
He had a hard life before, but after coming to the Lu family, he truly felt the warmth.
Aunt Zijuan might have other motives for being kind to him, but it was one of the few warmth he had.
What really allowed Lu Yanxiu to integrate into the Lu family was the existence of Lu Xingchen.
She is really cute. She will smile sweetly at him, call him brother sweetly, and chase him with her short legs.
Such a lovely sister has now fallen into the hands of these evil people and her life is hanging by a thread.
Lu Yanxiu wished he could bear it all for her.
He must find a way to cure her and take her away from here.
Hehua went to plead for mercy, and Old Yangtou stopped at a nearby small pier and got some antipyretic medicine.
Lu Xingchen was drowsy and refused to open his mouth, so Lu Yanxiu patiently fed him little by little.
Two days later, her high fever finally subsided, and Lu Yanxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Yang didn't know that half a day after they left Hangzhou, an elite force rushed to Hangzhou and issued a search warrant.
The madam, who had just bought some good stuff, was raided before she had time to place them.
Several shiny knives were placed on her neck, and the fat body of the brothel owner was shaking with fear.
"Sir, please spare me, please spare me. I didn't know that Old Yang's goods came from illegal sources..."
The leading officer said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Where are the people?"
"Leave, leave, left half a day ago."
"Where did you go?"
"No, I don't know..."
The officer pressed his knife harder, and the madam burst into tears. "I, I really don't know, but judging by the accent, it seems like she's from Lingnan."
Old Yang didn't know that there was a panic on the shore, his portrait had been drawn, and he was being wanted.
Their ship sailed all the way south, without stopping except to get medicine. A few days later, they arrived at Wuyang Town, in the heart of Lingnan.
This place is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. It is hot and humid all year round and full of miasma. It is even more humid and hotter than southern Yunnan.
It is only the first month of the year, but few people here wear thick clothes, but only light clothes.
Old Yang's hometown is here.
They have to go out and do a job every once in a while. This time they made a lot of money, so they haven't had to go out for most of the past six months.
When the ship arrived at Wuyangyi Wharf, it was already the first day of February.
Lu Xingchen was unconscious all the way and had no idea what was happening.
It was not until she heard the noisy voices outside that she finally opened her eyes slowly.
Lu Yanxiu had been guarding her all the time, and when he saw her finally wake up, joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Lu Xingchen's mind was in a daze and his eyes were a little blurry.
She had no idea what day it was. After focusing her eyes for a long while, she finally recognized Lu Yanxiu.
"elder brother."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice became hoarse and her throat hurt badly.
When Lu Yanxiu heard her voice, he felt so heartbroken that he almost cried.
"Chen'er, you finally woke up."
"Where are we?"
Lu Yanxiu lowered his voice and said quickly, "We are playing house. We are pretending to be children who have been kidnapped by bad guys and have come to a strange place. You will see completely unfamiliar bad guys later. Don't be afraid. They are just playing house. Brother will protect you too."
Lu Xingchen blinked her big eyes and looked at him, "Auntie, will you play with us too?"
Lu Yanxiu shook his head. "My aunt has to take care of the house affairs. She doesn't have time to play with us."
Lu Xingchen asked again, "What about my brother? Don't you need to study?"
Lu Yanxiu shook his head. "The teacher gave me a holiday. I don't have to study recently. I just need to play with you."
When Lu Xingchen heard this, his eyes instantly curved with smile.
She likes her brother to play with her the most, but her brother never had time in the past. Now she can finally let her brother play with her all the time.
However, her head felt a little dizzy, and her whole body felt weak and powerless, and she had no energy.
She couldn't help but feel annoyed. She was so disappointing that she felt uncomfortable at this moment.
