861. Slums

To the south of Muhe District.

It is a marginal area, and there are no decent buildings to be seen, and most of the land is undeveloped or ready to be developed. Even in a city like Immortal King's City, there are still places like slums where people from all walks of life are gathered. Poverty is often accompanied by evil, and this area is definitely a forbidden place for ordinary people, with gangsters, vagabonds, etc.

An old car pulled up in front of the low bungalow, and three people quickly got out of the car, carrying black bags in their hands.

Perhaps the sound of a car engine was a little noisy, and a homeless man huddled in the corner opened his eyes to look at it. He muttered twice, his gaze falling on the man in the middle.

Something seems to be moving on your shoulder?

The homeless man's eyes widened, and he looked more and more like a child.

Immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

As if sensing the gaze, the middle-aged man turned his head.

The homeless man was shocked, hurriedly closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep, his years of begging career made his acting skills superb, and a slight snoring sounded immediately.

The middle-aged man glanced at the other party suspiciously, as if he was a little hesitant.

"Don't make a fuss. The woman next to her suddenly said: "Let's deal with the goods and this little naughty here as soon as possible, and then leave Immortal King City immediately, I have already arranged the plan for leaving, we don't have much time." ”

The other two nodded, not paying attention to the homeless man huddled in the corner, and strode into the low bungalow.

There was a click, and the door locked.

The icy air was expelled by the scorching flames, and the coals in the brazier burned, bringing warmth.

Xia Yitong slowly woke up, still a little dizzy.

"Where is this?" the little girl was confused, and finally remembered what had happened before. She sneaked out of the house and got into a cleaning van as planned. She remembers the cleaning truck very well, and in the last few days it would stop there at that time and leave.

Then, she remembered seeing some shiny things, and she remembered that her mother had those things too, and every time she took them out to play, her mother would blame herself.

The ones she saw were in a black bag. Then she saw an uncle open the box, and the look of surprise was very clear in retrospect.

Then the little girl didn't remember much, as if she had fallen asleep.

A beating flame reflected the little girl's pupils.

On a chair next to the bed, a man and a woman were sitting.

"After this time, you have to be quiet for a while, otherwise something will go wrong. ”

"I'll take a look at the stuff again, this time it should be enough for us to be happy for a long time. ”

"This time it went well, I guess the police are still encouraged, right?"

"Smooth?" the man sneered, "If it goes well, there won't be such a burden." Think about what to do with this little thing, we can't take her with us. ”

"Huh. The woman chuckled, "Don't be so cruel, what if you scare the children?" Do you think we should take the opportunity to extort another amount?"

"If you want to die early, I won't stop you. The man leaning against the wall lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, "I'll get ready when I'm done with this cigarette." Dispose of this little thing and we'll leave right away. ”

The discussion of the three of them was not hidden, and Xia Yitong only felt a cold fear that seemed to pierce into the bone marrow envelop him. Although she is still young, she also understands that she is in the hands of the bad people at this moment.

Will they eat themselves? Mom says bad people eat kids!

Xia Yitong's small heart can't accurately understand her situation, she just feels that she can't stay here.

"Can you ...... Don't eat me?"

A small voice rang out.

All three turned back almost at the same time.

"Yo, are you awake?" the woman stood up and walked towards Xia Yitong.

Xia Yitong hugged his small schoolbag tightly and rubbed it back. But with the wall behind it, where can you go?

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. After the woman subconsciously said this, she suddenly shook again, if they are not bad people, who is?

"Don't eat me...... I'm not good...... My mom said I don't like bathing...... The meat is all stinky. Xia Yitong's tone was a little crying.

"How can it eat you?" the woman smiled, "you don't have to think about anything, just get some sleep." Auntie promises not to eat you, okay?"

"Really?" the little girl seemed to believe.

"Of course it's true, but you have to tell Auntie, why did you run into the car and hide today?" the woman's eyes flashed, she really minded why this little girl suddenly appeared in their box, which was also the biggest failure of this operation. Otherwise, they would have left Immortal King City by now.

"Because I want to see my dad, I haven't seen him in a long, long time. Mom said he had traveled far, far away and that it would be a long, long time before he could come back. Xia Yitong hesitated, there seemed to be a bright light flashing in his eyes, and the immature child's voice echoed in the room, "When my mother used to put me to sleep, she told me that there is a magical flower in the world, called the wish flower, as long as you can find this flower, you can realize any wish." I kept asking my mother where the flower was, but she was so stingy that she wouldn't tell me, she said I would know where the flower was when I grew up. ”

"When I told Xiaojie today, he laughed at me and said that there is no such flower in the world, and then I had a fight with him and made him cry. The boy is still crying, what a shame!"

The little girl also waved her fist proudly.

"Later, I told Momoko that she was my best friend. She said that when she went out with her dad last week, she saw a beautiful flower on the mountain, and she thought it must be a wish flower. So I wanted to sneak out and find the Wish Flower. Then make a wish for Daddy to come back. Although my mother didn't say it, I knew that my mother missed him very much, and I saw my mother crying several times at night when I looked at the picture of my father, and I saw it all!"

Speaking of this, the little girl's tone softened again, "Auntie, if you are not a bad person, let me go home." I'm afraid that my father won't see me when he comes back, and my mother will be in a hurry. ”

The woman's expression was a little strange.

"Why, you won't be soft-hearted, will you?" the smoking man scoffed, as accomplices, they knew each other too well. Women are always sensual creatures, troublesome. This kind of child's nonsense will also make you upset.

"Shut up!" the woman scolded angrily, then turned her head and tried to make a more gentle look, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, her heart was confused.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The man who smoked looked at the time, snuffed out the cigarette, and said coldly: "Don't delay any longer, solve it quickly, if you can't do it, let me do it." ”

The woman's shoulders shook violently, but she still tried to keep herself calm, "Are you crazy? If you're going to kill someone, we'll probably be exposed faster!"

"Then you tell me the solution?" The man said with a cold face: "This little thing has seen my face clearly, the case of Green Valley Graceland will definitely not be hidden for long, once this little thing is questioned by the police, you may soon see a wanted warrant with my face!

"As long as we run fast enough and do it covertly enough, we don't actually need to ......," the woman still wanted to argue.

"That's enough!" the man who smoked looked like a hungry wolf, "You're not a twenty-year-old girl, what kind of maternal love is there for Lao Tzu at this time?" I know that you also grew up in a single-parent family, but people who grew up in single-parent families abound, nothing special. ”

"I ......" the woman felt her throat unusually dry, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Since you have chosen to take this path, you have no chance of regretting. The man's expression was cold, "Since you can't bear to do it this time, then let me come." There are I don't know how many wild dogs are out there, and as long as there is a little bit of blood, I promise that in half an hour, there will be no bones left. ”

With that, the man strode towards the place.

The woman trembled incomparably, and could no longer maintain her apparent calmness, and subconsciously blocked in front of Xia Yitong.

"Get out of here!" the man reached out and gave him a hard push, pushing the woman out and hitting the wall.

"Woo woo!" Xia Yitong was frightened, tears flowed down, and he looked at the man in front of him in horror.

The man leaned down, stared at the little girl, and then cracked his mouth open, revealing a cruel smile.

Immediately, the man's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at the door. There seemed to be footsteps outside the door.

The other man, who sat there silently, reacted quickly, immediately took out an iron rod, stood up quietly, hid on the side of the door, and waited for it.

............

............

A few minutes ago, the three of them followed Groot into an alley, only to find that there was such a place in the south of Muhe District that was obviously a slum or something, but it was just a street away, and there were high-rise buildings on that side, and this side was a dilapidated place.

A homeless man was standing at the intersection and looked around, and when he saw the three people coming, he hesitated for a moment and cautiously approached.

"What are you doing here?" the homeless man was vigilant, standing two or three meters away from the three of them.

"Do you have something?" Jiutian looked at him and didn't answer the question.

The homeless man's face was entangled for a while, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Are you children lost?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiutian was overjoyed, "That's right! We are looking for a little girl, her name is Xia Yitong, and she got lost at half past nine in the evening! Did you see it?"

The homeless man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "I don't know if it's a little girl, and I don't know the name." But I saw someone carrying a child into a room. ”

"Please tell me the location!" Jiutian said immediately.

"I think they're very hard to mess with, don't you call the police?" The homeless man was stunned for a moment, looking at the posture of the three of Jiutian, and with a beautiful and undecent girl, it didn't look like he had any combat power at all.

Lao Zheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took out a dagger, slashed in front of the homeless man's eyes, and quickly turned a knife flower.

"Are there any questions now?" said Lao Zheng calmly.

"I didn't ...... It's gone!" The homeless man broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly turned around to show them the way, "I don't think you have been here before, I'll take you there." It's not easy to walk here. ”

"Okay, thank you. Jiutian thanked him, and then asked tentatively, "You seem to be very enthusiastic about this matter?"

"I hate human traffickers the most in my life, this kind of person should die!" the homeless man looked at him hatefully, unwilling to say more.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Jiutian relieved some of his heart.

This dilapidated slum is not aware of the extremely complicated roads, and all the paths that seem to be passable are often inexplicably broken or blocked by walls or other things. And the place that doesn't look like a road is very smooth when you walk past. If there is no one to lead, they will have to find it by themselves for nine days, and even if Groot determines the direction, they are afraid that they will waste a lot of time.

And at this moment, time is of the essence.

This kind of unplanned and chaotic place is not suitable for living, but it is really convenient to escape. Jiutian kept an eye on it and memorized all the routes he had taken, just in case.

There were no street lights on the dark road, everything was hidden in the darkness, and the sound of wailing in the wind, the sound of iron clashing, the sound of unbridled laughter, and some malicious eyes in the darkness.

In this kind of place, it is like the only light source in the dark.

"What a beautiful chick, come and play for your grandfather......"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, and on the second floor of a dilapidated house in front of him, a young man leaned against the wall and slowly moved downward, with dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

A steel bar the thickness of chopsticks flew straight past his ear, half of which sank into the wall. He had no doubt that if the slender steel bar was aimed at his head, it would pierce straight through it.

Lao Zheng showed his hand, and there were fewer eyes watching in the dark, but there were still many people hiding in the darkness and watching the completely strange visitors, with unkind faces and cruel eyes.

"I hate this kind of place. Jiutian frowned, and there was a foul smell in the air. The further you go, the stronger it becomes, and the stinky ditches on the side of the road, the corpses of cats, dogs, and mice, and excrement abound.

The homeless man seemed to notice the difference between the three of them, and kept silent, just looked for a way with his head down, and led them closer to the center of the area.

A low bungalow appeared in front of the trio, and Groot stopped and stared at the house, apparently indicating that the target of his search was here.

"I ...... I'll go first. If anything happens to you...... He shouted Cheng Lao Er...... "The homeless man obviously doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and after bringing it, he quickly leaves, burrows into the darkness and leaves, or watches here somewhere."

"Let's go. Jiutian's face was grim, he just hoped that the little girl was still safe and sound.
