Chapter 18: Kidnapped and Sold
Although he didn't hear any noise coming from the carriage, Yuze still pulled the carriage to the side, just in time to hear the voices of people talking over there.
Standing in front of Song Qingle was a middle-aged woman in her thirties with a big mole at the corner of her mouth, a hot figure and still charming. She was wearing a blue floral dress and carrying a huge backpack, dressed like a country woman coming to the city to attend the market.
She was very enthusiastic towards Song Qingle at this time, and said with a smile: "You are Xiao Liu'er, right? Oh, you have grown so big that your aunt almost couldn't recognize you.
I am the daughter of your cousin from your nanny's family. I held you in my arms when you were born. Come, Xiaoliu, call me aunt."
Song Qingle stared at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, without blinking, looking dazed, and said casually, "Aunt."
Yuze's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. The old woman was clearly a liar. Aren't the relatives on the grandmother's side usually cousins? Miss Song's brother was too stupid. It made people worry about him.
The middle-aged woman was very happy and almost smiled to her death. "Hey, good boy, here, this candy is a reward from your aunt." After saying that, she took out a lifelike tiger candy man from her sleeve and handed it over.
Song Qingle's eyes slowly moved towards the sugar man, and then he stared at it very seriously, looking very greedy. Everyone thought that this child would be eager to eat it, but he said one word lightly, "Dirty."
Yuze breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay as long as he didn't eat it. According to his experience, there was definitely something wrong with the candy man.
The woman's face froze. She had never expected that such a beautiful candy figure would be rejected by a child. But she still said patiently, "How about this? The candy figure seller is over there. How about you come with me and ask him to make one for you on the spot?"
"Dirty." Song Qingle was firm in his thoughts. Of course he had seen sugar figures being blown, but those were shapes that the boss blew out with his mouth. He refused to eat other people's saliva.
The woman rolled her eyes secretly, she was really picky, "How about we change it to something you like? After all, it's my first time visiting your house, I can't go there empty-handed."
"Okay." This time, Song Qingle finally agreed.
The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, okay, aunt, I see the street over there is very lively, there must be a lot of delicious food and fun things, let's go."
The woman was very enthusiastic and considerate. She thought that everything had been settled naturally and wanted to hold Song Qingle's hand happily, but Song Qingle dodged her again.
"What's wrong?" The middle-aged woman's face was already a little anxious. She was afraid of being discovered by acquaintances if she delayed too long, but she couldn't force it because there were many people watching around.
Just when she thought Song Qingle had discovered something, he only asked, "Can you buy one for my sister, too?"
Things took a turn for the better that the middle-aged woman had not expected. "Your sister?" The child in front of her had a gentle and handsome appearance, so his sister must not be much worse, which made the woman very happy.
Song Qingle just nodded stupidly, looking like an obedient person who never forgot his sister when something good happened.
"Well, go call your sister over and we'll go pick out gifts together."
"No, my sister is there, you come." After Song Qingle said this, she put her hands behind her back and walked away, not caring whether the woman followed her or not.
The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and realized that the road was not the direction of the children's home. She didn't believe that an adult could not handle two children, so she followed them happily.
Seeing this, Yuze looked strange. Wasn't this too strange? Did Song know that the woman had bad intentions? And what did he want to do?
Yuze wanted to ask his master to follow and take a look, but at this moment, the carriage door was suddenly opened, and a tall white figure got out of the carriage. He also had his hands behind his back and followed the direction of Song Xiaodi.
Yuze immediately threw the reins, made a gesture, and followed his master's pace. Behind him, a man in black quietly took over the carriage. At this time, Song Qingwan came out to find her brother to go back for lunch, and then she saw Xiaoliu disappear at the alley. She hurriedly followed him to see where the child was going.
Song Qingle led the middle-aged woman through the alleys, turning around and around, and the middle-aged woman couldn't help but become suspicious and asked, "Xiao Liu'er, what is your sister doing in a place like this?"
Didn't that person say that this child was from a minor official's family? Only a well-off family could raise a child who was fair-skinned, refined, and educated, the type most loved by the men.
Therefore, this is a high-risk and high-return business. As long as you have the means and courage, you can make a fortune. This is not the first time that the middle-aged woman has done this, so she is not afraid that the child in front of her can do something out of the ordinary.
"Go to work." Song Qingle just responded with two brief words.
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked as if she understood. This made sense. As a minor official's family, the salary of the male owner was low, so he had to rely on the women in the family to work secretly to supplement the family income. It was the same for the Song family.
Soon, Song Qingle brought people to a simple and dim courtyard, where an old man with a goatee and a shifty look was guarding. When he saw the middle-aged woman, his eyes suddenly became hot.
Isn't this figure too hot? Okay, okay, the old man immediately walked towards them, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged woman was very surprised. This old man didn't look like a good person. What on earth was Xiaoliu's sister doing in there? She was about to answer truthfully that she was looking for someone.
But Song Qingle spoke first, "Aunt, I'm going to work." These were also very short words, and people who didn't know him would think he had a language barrier.
In fact, he wanted to say that the woman was his aunt. They came to look for his sister who was working. The middle-aged woman thought she knew Xiaoliu very well, so she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I am his aunt."
Wanting the old man to be more tolerant of them, the middle-aged woman made some special gestures and movements.
This made the old man even more excited, and he laughed happily, "Okay, okay, come on, bring the people in."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a tall and strong man walked out from the crack of the door and pulled the middle-aged woman in.
The middle-aged woman was startled. She turned her head and saw that Song Xiaoliu was still outside. "Hey, wait a minute, the child is still outside."
"How can a child come into a place like this? Stop pretending and let's go." The tall man pulled the woman in roughly.
"Where are you going? You're wrong. We're here to look for someone." The rest of the woman's words disappeared into the darkness and the people outside the door could no longer hear them.
Song Qingle watched the whole scene in the yard, but he was not afraid and still looked dazed.
The old man laughed. This was the first time he had encountered such a young client. However, the person who could find their place was definitely not an ordinary person. The old man followed the rules and asked, "Are you a trustee?"
This is their jargon and codeword. You will know whether it is a real business by asking.
Song Qingle uttered two words very calmly, "Death."
