Chapter 609 Slightly Selling People
Si Niang knew what a hundred taels meant. It was enough money to buy ten acres of high-quality farmland, enough to support an ordinary family of three for a lifetime.
So I was surprised when I saw a reward on the wall, which said that if anyone could help find the person who took away his child, he could go to the house to receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
I don’t know what the little person is selling, but it’s so valuable.
Qin Yao walked to the reward notice board and looked at the notice that Siniang was pointing to, and explained: “The traitor is a criminal who specializes in human trafficking. The daughter of the person on this list was taken away by the traitor, and the family is very worried. That’s when the reward notice was posted.”
With that said, Qin Yao took a few more glances at the bounty on the notice board. She didn’t pay attention to the content just now, but only stared at the bounty. Now when she looked closer, she realized that it was not just a list of people looking for lost livestock, but also a list of people looking for lost livestock. There were four or five missing persons reports.
Those who were lost were all children, one was five years old, one was eight years old, and one was already thirteen years old.
There were forests and mountains along the way, and the children had no interest in admiring the scenery. They simply took out their books and read to pass the boring time.
Pack it into two portions, one to eat today and one to eat on the road tomorrow.
There was a table of diners in the middle of the lobby talking loudly about something. Because of the noise, the shopkeeper asked them to stop. The diners complained dissatisfiedly.
The family was discussing the high reward notice and returned to the inn. It was dinner time and the lobby was almost full of people.
“Liu Ji, what did you say?” Qin Yao, who was washing her face, suddenly turned around and asked doubtfully.
With so many missing persons notices appearing at the same time, Qin Yao frowned slightly when looking at the 100-tael reward for clues about selling the person. This was definitely not a coincidence.
“It must be so, so the four of you remember not to leave the sight of the adults, and when you see suspicious people, leave the danger quickly. If you want to go out alone, you must tell the adults first, do you understand?”
Si Niang hurriedly called to A Niang, sighed helplessly, and quickly explained that she was not hungry or thirsty, she just wanted to talk to A Niang.
Erlang touched his third brother’s chubby face pitifully, “Silly Sanlang, kidnappers are for sale. If you’re lucky, you can be bought into a rich person’s home as a slave. If you’re unlucky, you can be bought as a child bride and as a manpower. I’m so tortured that I can’t even survive! And human flesh doesn’t taste good.” Sanlang opened his bright eyes and asked, “Second brother, how do you know that human flesh doesn’t taste good?”
The adults are preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.
Wash your hands and faces, sit down as a family at the small table, and start eating.
The little girl had a serious expression and looked a little scared, but she didn’t show it.
Yin Le agreed, told Qin Yao, and followed Liu Ji to prepare dinner.
While there is still a fire in the kitchen, Yin Le and Liu Ji have to make dry food that can last for two or three days.
The fourth mother pulled at the corner of Grandma’s clothes. Qin Yao lowered her head and asked softly: “What’s the matter? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?”
“No?” Qin Yao mumbled, shrugged, and continued to wash her hands with her head down.
When talking about the excitement, the voice got louder uncontrollably. You could vaguely hear something like “a small gang selling out”, “people with children will be targeted”, “they have men, women and old people to cover them up, so it’s hard to guard against them”. Class words.
Put Si Niang down from his shoulders, put on the master’s attitude and called: “Ale, follow me to the kitchen to prepare.”
After a good night’s sleep, the family got up before dawn the next day.
Saburo has an out-of-the-box thinking and always expresses some strange opinions. He is a little scared and asks: “Auntie, are these kidnappers kidnapping children to make human meat pancakes?”
As soon as I asked the question, I received a blank look from the eldest brother and the second brother.
Before the child could speak, Qin Yao had already taken out a small half-hung coin and was about to send Dalang Erlang to the snack stall at the entrance of the inn to sell some snacks.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Liu Ji, the adults and children loaded their luggage into the carriage, paid for the accommodation, and as soon as the city gate opened, they left the city and continued towards their next destination.
After a silent dinner, Dalang’s four children took the initiative to wash the dishes and wipe the tables. They washed the dishes and returned them to the inn kitchen.
If it were normal, Liu Ji would definitely join in the fun, but now he has to worry about the food of the big family, and he has no time to spare.
Qin Yao and Yin Le got up and went to the backyard of the inn to feed the horses.
It’s good to be aware of danger. Qin Yao did not make fun of the little guy’s worry and fear, and replied seriously:
“The book said it was a miscellany. Don’t ask which miscellaneous book it is. If you ask again, I will beat you up.” Erlang glared at his brother dangerously, and the threat was successful. Sanlang said “oh” and obediently covered his mouth.
A bowl of fresh stir-fried wild vegetables, a bowl of plump stir-fried pork belly slices, a bowl of fried tofu, and a bowl of egg soup. There was no exquisite presentation, but the food left a family of seven with mouths full of oil and no smoke at all. No time to talk.
Of course, he only dared to roll his eyes at the four younger ones, and he had to coax the older one, “Madam, the water has been poured. Wash your face and hands and let’s start dinner.”
Having been busy until late at night, I can finally take a break.
Dalang said: “Are you stupid to be a kidnapper? If you want to eat meat, just steal pigs. Why steal people and break the law? Anyone who kidnaps and sells people into slaves in a prosperous country will be hanged!”
Liu Ji took back all the clothes he had washed and dried yesterday and folded them. Then he watched the four children check his luggage and packed everything except the clothes, shoes and socks he would wear tomorrow.
The four brothers and sister nodded obediently, indicating that they understood.
Qin Yao shook her head in a funny way, and took the children out to buy a lot of snacks. She didn’t know if the children were greedy, but she was anyway.
The weather is not very good today. The sun did not show up in the morning and it was a cloudy day.
Liu Ji stumbled, narrowly avoiding being tripped by the floor beam in the guest room. He quickly steadied himself, turned around and blinked innocently, “Madam, I didn’t say anything?”
The Qin Yao family rented a kitchen and prepared their own meals instead of eating here. When the innkeeper saw them, he hurriedly said hello and went to greet other guests.
“Auntie, everyone is talking about selling people, does it mean there are many kidnappers here in Yuzhou who specialize in kidnapping children?”
Qin Yao, mother and son, stayed behind. Seeing that Aniang had no intention of going back to her room, the four brothers and sisters of Dalang followed suit and stood beside them. They looked openly at the table of diners in the center of the hall and continued to discuss in low voices.
The five of them, mother and son, had finished wandering around and returned to the guest room. They successfully received a big look from Liu Ji who had finished cooking dinner but could not find anyone.
Hands naturally stretched out, took the two large bags of snacks Qin Yao was holding, and secretly clicked his tongue twice.
At noon, I finally walked out of the mountain forest area, and my eyes suddenly opened up, and I came to a small flat village.
There are frequent business trips here, and villagers have already set up tea sheds at the entrance of the village for passers-by to rest.
Liu Ji quietly rubbed his **** that was about to burst, looked at the quiet tea shed in front, and boldly suggested: “Madam, let’s take a break, buy a few bowls of hot tea, and have lunch with dry food?”
