The name of the teacher in the school was still very intimidating. The children all sat quietly in their rooms for almost an hour before they dared to whisper and laugh. Some of the children even pointed at the little wimpy kid who was drenched in ink. The little wimpy kid's face became redder and redder. He fiercely slapped the table and roared at the two little boys sitting at the back of the classroom.
"Third Egg Lu!
Pig head!
Is it the two of you? "
The two little boys, one fat and one thin, their clothes were a little white from washing. It seemed that their family background was not very good.
In the face of the little brat's accusation, the fat boy slowly shrank back, as if he did not intend to respond. The thin boy, on the other hand, dug his ears and retorted sarcastically.
"The pig is calling me?"
"Yes, it's calling you!"
"So you're a pig."
Hearing the conversation between the two, all the children in the school burst into laughter. The little brat was so angry that he pushed the desk opposite him away, and raised his hand to hit the boy who was slightly thinner. The boy nimbly shrunk under the desk, and slid out from under the desk like a loach. He was very agile, and easily ran around the four "school bullies". Unfortunately, the space in the school was not big, and the four of them slowly surrounded the boy.
Seeing that the boy who helped her out was in trouble, Li Yue had an idea. She copied the other party's previous action and shouted, "Teacher is here." However, the effect was not very good. It only made the four "School Bullies" hesitate a little.
The hesitation of the four was enough for the boy to escape. The boy looked out of the window and winked at Li Yue. He changed from his previous jumpy behavior and sat in his seat obediently.
The boy stopped running. The "School Bully" was smug. He proudly walked to the boy with his ink-stained clothes and slammed the table in front of him.
"Why don't you run? Why don't you run?
We brothers will make you suffer the consequences today. "
"Who are you going to make suffer the consequences?"
"What does it have to do with you? Don't interfere."
The four arrogant "school bullies" turned their heads in unison and became as listless as quails. The old teacher behind the four was so angry that he almost blew his beard and glared at them. As a cultured adult, it was not good for him to lose his temper in class. He only ordered the four to return to their seats and continued teaching the class that he had not finished in the morning.
When the afternoon classes were over, all the kids except for the School Bullies went home as usual.
Li Yue, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. She could still see the group of four frowning as they were reprimanded by the old man. Li Yue felt inexplicably happy, and even her footsteps on the way home were much lighter.
Uncle Fu saw the change in Li Yue's mood. He smiled and touched Li Yue's head, asking her if she had made new friends in school or if she had realized that going to school was actually a very interesting thing.
Li Yue did not answer directly. She felt that Uncle Fu's words had a double meaning.
Going to school was actually quite boring, but bullying children, ah no, getting to know children in school was very interesting.
After finding the joy of going to school, Li Yue went to school the next day. Naturally, she was not as listless as she was a few days ago. She even greeted the other children in the school in a good mood and gained a group of fans.
She did not know how the old man had taught the "school bully" quartet a lesson yesterday. Today, the quartet was unbelievably well-behaved. After that, they did not find trouble with Li Yue and the other two boys for a few days.
Li Yue suspected that the four of them were secretly planning something. Sure enough, the day before the day of rest, the four of them sent Li Yue a "letter of challenge". The words on the "letter of challenge" were crooked. The general idea was that if Li Yue was a real man, she would go to a small alley near the school tomorrow to have a showdown with them.
Li Yue, who had the body of a child and the heart of an adult, did not want to pay attention to the "letter of challenge" of the four of them. However, when she thought about how if she stayed at home, the person who came in third would give her double the homework to practice calligraphy.
In comparison, bullying children was more fun. Li Yue decisively chose to go out on the day of rest.
The reason for going out obviously could not be said openly. Li Yue could only use the excuse of "a new friend asked me out to play". When Fu Bo heard that they were going to play near the school, he smiled and waved his hand to let them go.
Because Li Yue and Li Xunhuan were the same, they did not like to have too many people around them. Fu Bo followed the usual practice and let the driver follow behind her. Li Yue naturally did not refuse.
The four of them should be the natives of Shuo Zhou City. She planned to first teach them a lesson and then let them be her tour guide to take her around the city.
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was bony.
As soon as Li Yue entered the alley, her elder brother, who was following behind her, was beaten unconscious by someone. Then, someone covered her mouth and a pungent smell rushed to her head. Li Yue's body swayed and she lost consciousness.
The wretched-looking adult laughed strangely. He stuffed the little girl in his hand into a sack and quickly rushed into a shabby carriage with his accomplice.
Their movements were quite skillful and could be said to be stealthy and swift. But all of this happened to be seen by the two boys, one fat and one thin. After the carriage left the alley, the two boys also ran in the direction of the school.
Li Yue was awakened by the jolting of the carriage. Her hands and feet were all tied up and her vision was dim. She could only see a glimmer of light outside through the gap of the sack. Vaguely, it seemed that someone was reaching for her position. Li Yue quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Not long after, the conversation of the two men sounded in the carriage.
"Tsk tsk, Old Five, this time you were in Shuo Zhou City. Why did you only kidnap a child and come back?"
"Hey, what do you know? Look at this appearance, you can definitely sell it for a good price. This child is precious. It's worth more than you kidnapping ten losers who can't be sold."
"Let me see … Oh, this can't be the young master of some rich family in Shuo Zhou City. Old Five, we only want money in this line of work. You can't give us trouble."
"Do you think I'm stupid? I've already inquired. This child's family is running a business. A few days ago, they bought a house in Shuo Zhou City and settled down. His father drinks in the pub every day and the business is completely taken care of by an old man.
Usually, the person who comes to send the child to school is just a handyman. This family definitely doesn't care about the child.
If the child goes missing, it's possible that the family won't notice for half a month. "
"You have a lot of crooked ideas. What if …"
"What if? Old Four, wealth comes from danger.
Even if this kid's family found out, so what? How many people can a newcomer know in Shuo Zhou City? By the time they find us, we will have already taken the money and left. After a few years, everything will be peaceful, and we will have forgotten everything. When we return to Shuo Zhou City, we will be good men again. "
As the two men talked, they laughed unscrupulously. Li Yue closed her eyes and listened to them talk about their future carefree life. She cursed in her heart. She knew that she had encountered human traffickers again, but she did not panic at all. After all, the "alcoholic father" that the two traffickers were talking about was Li Xunhuan. What she needed to do now was to protect herself and live a good life.
Li Yue had just been taken out of Shuo Zhou City by the traffickers. On the other side, the old teacher heard the news from the two little boys. He hurriedly sent someone to send the seriously injured and unconscious driver to the clinic and personally reported to the Li family.
When Fu Bo heard the news, he was also very anxious. On one hand, he ordered the merchants to secretly investigate the news. On the other hand, he ordered the servants to send Li Xunhuan home.
Li Xunhuan, who had high hopes for Li Yue, was already drunk. He mechanically poured himself one jar of wine after another while muttering someone's name.
In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, the person who came in third in the examination was an out-and-out fat sheep. However, they did not have the courage to make a move because the fat sheep was guarded by a loyal and devoted dog. The dog was ready to tear the enemy apart at any time.
The atmosphere in the tavern was very strange. There was an obvious vacuum between Li Xunhuan's table and the other guests, so the servant sent by Fu Bo didn't have to spend much effort to find the target. He hurriedly explained the situation to Tie Chuanjia.
After hearing the servant's words, the bearded man quietly took the jar of wine from Li Xunhuan's hand and helped the man who came in third in the examination into the carriage at the entrance of the tavern.
The hangover soup had already been prepared in the courtyard. When Tie Chuanjia carried Li Xunhuan out of the carriage, a servant came over with a bowl of hot soup.
Tie Chuanjia carefully fed the hangover soup into Li Xunhuan's mouth. After a long while, Li Xunhuan pinched his brows and reluctantly regained his ability to think. Only then did Tie Chuanjia slowly tell him about Li Yue being kidnapped.
Although Li Xunhuan was still drunk, his eyes were very clear. He chatted with the old teacher who had been waiting for a long time and carefully asked Fu Bo about the reason for Li Yue's departure. He decided to first find the four "school bullies".
In the wasteland outside Shuo Province City, the carriage carrying Li Yue stopped in front of a dilapidated temple. The man who was called "Old Five" grabbed the sack containing Li Yue and jumped down. The carriage immediately drove away. He exchanged a secret signal with the beggars guarding the temple. The beggars pushed away the statue of God, revealing a dark passage. The man carried the sack in one hand and a torch in the other, humming a little tune as he walked in.
The passage was deep and winding. The man's footsteps clearly echoed in Li Yue's ears. Li Yue secretly counted in her heart. After counting about two thousand steps, the man finally stopped.
Li Yue couldn't see the world outside the sack and could only guess the man's actions based on the sound. With a creak, the man pushed open a heavy wooden door. All kinds of voices sounded one after another, mixed with the cries of children and the curses of women.
