This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 108 Not So Smart

Looking at the two people on the ground, Cuihua seemed to see silver beckoning to her.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then went out and locked the woodshed again.

As He Wuyang listened to the fading footsteps, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried out. Worried about being heard by those outside, she could only sob quietly.

Fear and dread gripped her heart. She was going to be sold tomorrow. Thinking of Siya, who had been sold by her stepmother in Dongyuan Village, He Wuyang felt even more terrified.

Where will she be sold? Will she ever see her mother, sister-in-law, elder brother, or second brother again?

Waaaaaahh ...

Thinking of this, her tears flowed uncontrollably, like a valve being opened.

"Hey! Stop crying!"

"Ohh Ohh ohh--"

"Stop crying!"

"Waaaaaahh ...

He Wuyang heard a sound behind her, her crying stopped, and she turned her head with all her might, but due to the angle, she couldn't see anyone. She guessed that the person who had been locked in the woodshed with her had woken up at some point.

She hiccuped and asked, "Waaaaaahhhhhh?"

The little boy opposite him frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

"Is your mouth gagged?"

"Woo!"

“Let’s move together, and then I’ll help you bite the wad of cloth out.”

He Wuyou tried to move towards the direction of the sound, and the two were close together in no time.

The little boy spoke again, "Turn around, I'll help you."

This little girl is strangely pretty... He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable...

Finally, He Wuyang's tongue was free. She had so much to say and wished she could say it all in one breath.

"Are you her son? She's going to sell you too? Those two are so wicked! They'd even sell their own son! Will we never see our loved ones again? Waaaaaahh ...

"Shh! Keep your voice down... don't let them hear." The little boy quickly whispered to stop He Wuyang's crying, then suddenly regretted it.

He Wuyang immediately lowered his voice: "Waaaaah—"

The little boy rolled his eyes. This little girl really was a bit silly; no wonder she was tricked into coming in.

He patiently explained, "I'm not their son. I was tricked into coming here too, but don't worry, I have a way to get out."

When He Wuyang heard the boy say that there was a way to get out, her eyes lit up and she immediately stopped crying.

Having someone to talk to ease He Wuyang's fear somewhat. She immediately asked:

"How many days have you been locked up here?"

"This is the third day."

"If you had a way to get out, why would you have been locked up for three days?"

"...I...I was starving. Don't worry, we'll definitely get out of here. Trust me!"

Why didn't they shut you up?

"Because I don't cry out."

Why didn't you shout for help?

“I was hungry, so they gave me food.”

"Oh... my sister-in-law said I shouldn't eat food from strangers. What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Shi'an, and I'm ten years old. What about you?"

"I'm eight years old, He Wuyang. I guess your name was Lu Jiu'an last year?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because you were nine years old last year?"

"..."

"..."

The two children fell into an eerie silence.

But they were thinking about the same thing.

He Wuyang: This Lu Shi'an doesn't seem very smart, no wonder he was tricked into coming here.

Lu Shi'an: This younger sister seems really silly, so it's not surprising that she was tricked into coming here.

After a while, Lu Shi'an said, "Sister Wu Yang, turn around and I'll help you untie the knot in your hand."

......

On the other side, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the few little beggars in front of her and recognized one of them as the child with radial head dislocation from before.

“Sister, we were watching the commotion at the entrance of Wujitang when we accidentally saw a middle-aged woman take that little girl away.”

"Uh-huh."

"Yes, I saw it too. That young lady was helping that middle-aged woman walk."

The young beggars explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed a little beggar's sleeve, her eyes flashing with urgency: "Do you remember which direction they went?"

"Yes, we followed them for a while, now we'll take you there!"

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the person beside her: "A-Jing, we will definitely find A-Yang, right?"

He Jing squeezed her hand, then raised his thumb to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, offering silent comfort.

The two men lifted their feet and followed closely behind the few little beggars.

Led by the little beggars, Ye Xiaoxiao and He Jing wandered through several alleys, finally arriving at a crossroads.

"Sister, we followed them all the way here, and then they disappeared."

He Jing looked at the dirty children and said, "Thank you for leading the way. You should go back now; it's not safe here."

The little beggars nodded and disappeared from the two men's sight, but they didn't go far, hiding behind a wall not far away and watching quietly.

Ye Xiaoxiao stared at the empty alleyway in front of her, a few dilapidated houses, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Her heart leaped into her throat—this was the place she had just been looking for!
