There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 5

[Chapter 5, Human Traffickers]

“Daohua, what are you looking at? It’s time to enter the inn.”

Seeing Daohua turning her head and looking back, Yan Wentao took her hand, and at the same time leaned closer to her, carefully Protect her and prevent the people around from bumping into her.

The rice and peanuts are good, even though women are now disguised as men and wearing coarse linen clothes, they are still pink and jade-cut, very eye-catching. After getting off the carriage, many people are looking at them.

Mrs. Yan also looked over: “Don’t look around.”

Amidst the tugging between the two, Daohua quickly withdrew her gaze, suppressing the restlessness in her heart, and didn’t dare to look back again.

She was not a real child, and through the bruised and swollen immature cheeks revealed by the corner of the opened car curtain, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

But she dared not investigate the truth.

Without him, there were two tall and burly men standing beside the carriage.

Soon, Daohua was dragged into the inn by Mrs. Yan, and at this time, Sun Bosun’s mother, who was going to put the carriage, also came back.

Mrs. Yan asked for two guest rooms, one where she brought Daohua and Sun Ma, and one where Sun Bo brought Yan Wentao.

“It’s been a day’s journey, everyone, go back to your room and rest.”

Mrs. Yan led Daohua towards the room. During this time, Daohua couldn’t help herself, and turned her head to look outside the inn again.

It’s a pity that the curtains of the carriage have been completely lowered, and there is nothing wrong with it from the outside.

However, the two middle-aged men were still standing by.

Daohua glanced at the bulging waists of the two, her eyes flickering.

After returning to the room, Dao Hua was a little absent-minded, and only took a few mouthfuls of the food brought by her job.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yan thought her granddaughter was tired from the journey, so she urged her to go to bed and rest.

At night, Daohua tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, the bruised, red and swollen immature cheek would appear in her mind.

Is it a trafficker?

Or is it a dirty thing in a wealthy family?

No matter what it is, it seems that she can’t manage it, and she doesn’t have the ability to manage it.

The two middle-aged men who may have hidden weapons in their waists are cruel at first glance. On her side, grandmother, grandson, and grandma are all old, and the third brother is only a 13-year-old boy. They have no ability to fight with them. fight.

If one doesn’t pay attention, maybe they will get involved with themselves.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Are you tired?” Mrs. Yan noticed that her granddaughter was still awake, and held back her drowsiness, patting her on the back lightly.

Looking at the serene face of the old lady, Daohua’s heart gradually calmed down, her brain was emptied, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Yan woke up Daohua.

“There are more and more refugees on the road. We’d better get to Linyi County earlier.”

Mrs. Yan was worried that the road would not be smooth. After thinking about it, she decided to speed up the journey.

After breakfast and handing over the room, Mrs. Yan led her grandchildren out of the inn.

When leaving, Daohua paid attention to the carriage in the inn, and found that the suspicious carriage she saw yesterday was gone. She felt a little complicated. She didn’t know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief (don’t worry about whether to save people or not), or worry about what happened in the carriage. people are worried.

Along the way, Daohua and the others saw more and more refugees.

Moreover, from time to time, some refugees rob passers-by.

For the sake of safety, Mrs. Yan used some money to join a team of bodyguards and went on the road with them.

Due to the endless robberies on the road, the speed of the trip was inevitably delayed. In the evening, the escort failed to arrive at the designated inn, so they could only find a ruined temple to rest.

As soon as she entered the ruined temple, Daohua’s face changed instantly.

that carriage!

The carriage was tied in the yard of the ruined temple, and two strong men squatted beside the carriage and lit a fire, roasting an unknown piece of meat at the moment.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

when they passed by the carriage, they all looked over when they heard the sound coming from the carriage.

At this time, a woman got out of the carriage with a smile: “The child at home is having a temper.”

Hearing this, the guards didn’t say anything, and went straight into the ruined temple.

The old lady Yan had a sullen face, clutching Daohua and Yan Wentao tightly, and quickly followed the escorts.

“Brother, there is something wrong with the carriage. There are at least a dozen children in it.” A young man in the escort agency whispered to the escort boss.

The boss of the bodyguard bureau looked back at the carriage in the courtyard: “Don’t worry about going out.”

Hearing the conversation, Daohua raised her head and glanced at the two of them.

Mrs. Yan also noticed something, and the people next to the escort agency found a seat nearby, and whispered to her grandchildren not to run around.

As night fell, several waves of people came to the ruined temple.

During this period, many people noticed that something was wrong with the carriage in the courtyard, but no one stood up.

Daohua buried her head in the arms of Old Madam Yan, and carefully looked at the expressions of everyone in the ruined temple.

Don’t care about yourself, take it for granted, ignore, numb…

Do these people have no conscience?

That’s not necessarily true.

They knew that the three people in the courtyard might be human traffickers, but for these people who have been wandering outside all year round, returning home safely is their greatest wish. As for the uneven things on the road,

they are unable to protect themselves, so there is no energy to take care of them the lives of others.

Seeing Daohua staring at the courtyard, Mrs. Yan suddenly covered her eyes with her hands.

She knew that her granddaughter was smarter than ordinary people since she was a child, but sometimes being too smart may not be a good thing.

“Go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow.”

Mrs. Yan said to Daohua in a low voice.

After hearing this, Daohua nodded and closed her eyes in good time, but she couldn’t fall asleep anyway.

Human trafficker.

What she learned in her previous life made her unable to turn a blind eye.

However, she was unable to save those abducted children.

Throughout the night, Daohua’s mind was muddled.

At dawn, in her powerlessness and in the indifference of others, the two strong men left in a carriage.

Old Madam Yan sighed silently, took out dry food and told her grandchildren to eat, but she didn’t take a bite.

Just as the bodyguard bureau was packing up and was about to leave, there was a sudden noise outside the ruined temple.

“It’s not good, those refugees are hungry and crazy, and they will snatch people when they see them.” The

boss of the escort agency changed his expression, and immediately said loudly: “Quick, get out of here quickly.” No guarantee, maybe they will not survive tomorrow.

Old Madam Yan also had a frightened expression on her face, she held her grandson and granddaughter tightly, and hurriedly told Uncle Sun to lead the carriage.

Although Uncle Sun is almost 60 years old, his body is very vigorous, and his movements are faster than the young people in the escort agency. He pulled up the carriage, and as soon as Old Madam Yan and the others sat on it, they immediately rushed out of the ruined temple with the carriage.

After galloping for more than ten miles out of the ruined temple, and seeing no refugees on the road, Sun Bo slowly slowed down.

“Slow down, and wait for the people from the bodyguard.”

Mrs. Yan was worried that it would be unsafe to go alone, so she decided to go with the people from the bodyguard.

In the carriage, Daohua’s heart was still pounding.

When people are hungry and crazy, they are really insane.

When she rushed out of the ruined temple, she saw scarlet everywhere outside the ruined temple.

She grew up in a harmonious society, she has never seen this before, and now she still feels scalp numb thinking about it.

Daohua felt that the carriage was a bit dull, so she quickly opened a corner of the curtain, trying to dilute the bloody image in her mind with the scenery outside the carriage.

The carriage swayed slowly, and Dao Hua’s mood gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, a carriage stopped on the side of the road, causing Daohua to tremble.

“Daohua, what’s the matter?” Mrs. Yan asked worriedly.

She was careless, she didn’t expect the drought in the north to be so serious, and there were so many refugees along the way, she should have walked the waterway with San’er and the others, Daohua was probably frightened by the situation just now.

Daohua put down the curtain quickly, pretending to be calm and said: “I’m fine.”

Mrs. Yan pulled her into her arms, didn’t speak, just patted her on the back.

Daohua snuggled up to the old lady obediently, but after a while, she suddenly straightened up, opened the curtain again, and looked back.

The car curtain is raised and lowered; it is raised and lowered again, and it goes back and forth several times.

Daohua took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Yan: “Grandmother, I want to get out of the car conveniently.”

Mrs. Yan looked a little reluctant, but she also knew that people had three urgencies, and it was not easy to hold back her granddaughter: “Grandma and you Together.” Daohua

immediately shook her head: “No need, third brother and I will be together.”

Old lady Yan thought for a while, then looked at Yan Wentao: “Take care of your sister, go and come back soon!”
