Light Dance Jiajing

Mei'er put on a sad face and said, "Didn't the hero ask me why I took my brother out in the middle of the night? I really had my reasons. My father was seriously ill and couldn't take care of things. My stepmother couldn't tolerate us and wanted to sell me and my brother. I really had no choice but to escape with my brother. Woo woo woo... This was our first time going out and we couldn't tell the way. We had run out of money by the time we got here. Hero, you are not a bad person. Please don't abandon us. Look, my brother is still so young. We have no way to survive. Please help us..."

Mei'er pretended to cry. Zaihou and Mei'er had always had a tacit understanding, so he knew what she was planning. He wanted to cooperate and shed a few tears, but he couldn't cry. He simply buried his head in Mei'er's arms and pretended to sob. The man in black suddenly felt a headache. Seeing that Mei'er was crying harder and harder, he hurriedly said, "Be quiet, be quiet, don't cry." Mei'er seemed unable to hold back, and was about to cry out loudly. The man in black's face turned green, and without thinking too much, he pressed Mei'er's acupoints. Mei'er's The sound stopped immediately. Zaihou was about to howl again after a loud wow. The man in black pressed Zaihou's acupuncture points anxiously. Mei'er felt sore and numb all over and couldn't move. After a moment of stunned, she looked pitiful. Her eyes were especially innocent. She looked at him with pleading eyes. The man in black hesitated for a while and sighed, "Well, since you call me a hero, I will take care of you anyway. Hey, don't cry anymore. It makes you feel like I'm bullying a child. Hey."

Mei'er was very satisfied with this hero, what a good man he was. It would have been easy for him to escape by himself, but now it was not so easy with two burdens. Then the man in black was in deep thought for the rest of the time. Mei'er and Zaihou were very well behaved and did not disturb him. Mei'er was very cautious for fear of offending him, as he might abandon them if he got unhappy.

Finally, when it got dark, the man in black went to the kitchen and stole some food. Meng'er and Zaihou could no longer endure it. They drank a few big gulps of water and ate some more food. They felt that it was not easy to get through the day. The man in black said to Meng'er, "I'm going to go out and find someone. You guys hide here first. I'll come back to pick you up in an hour at the latest."

Mei'er nodded and said, "Hero, be careful and take care!" The man in black rarely smiled. This girl actually trusted him so much. Wasn't he afraid that he would never come back? He nodded to Mei'er calmly, and climbed out of the courtyard wall in a few jumps. Zaihou asked Mei'er worriedly, "Sister, will he come back after he leaves? Will he abandon us?"

Mei'er's face fell and she shook her head, "I don't know, but can you stop him? We can only choose to believe him."

The wait was long. Meng'er tensed up and waited for the man in black to pick them up. For some reason, although she didn't know him, Meng'er believed in this man. She believed that he was a gentleman, so she believed that he would not break his promise. However, she waited and waited, and an hour passed. Meng'er became less and less confident. Could it be that this man was not what she thought? At this time, she heard the door being gently pushed open. Meng'er didn't dare to make a sound in the darkness. Her heart was already in her throat. Then she heard a familiar voice: "Girl, I'm here."

Mei'er cried with joy and ran out from behind a pile of debris, pulling Zaihou. The man in black probably sensed Mei'er's emotions and chuckled, "Don't worry, I keep my word. Since I promised, I won't abandon you."

There were two other people who came with him, both older than him. The two took out two large sacks. The man in black said, "Girl, get in. We can only move faster if we carry you two on our backs..." Before he finished speaking, Meng'er had already pulled Zaihou, and the two of them got into two sacks respectively. In the dark, the man in black couldn't see his expression, but he said, "Do you really trust me so much?"

Mei'er's voice came out from the sack: "I believe you." The man in black was suddenly a little moved. He didn't have time to think about it. He and the other two carried them on their backs and ran out in a hurry.

The feeling in the sack was really uncomfortable. I don't know how long it was before someone let me down. Then I felt something shaking under me. It turned out that they were already on the carriage. Meng'er and Zaihou came out of the sack and took a few deep breaths. They felt that the man in black was sitting opposite them. She couldn't explain why, but Meng'er had a very steady feeling. The three men were very tired by now, so Meng'er didn't disturb them. She just hugged Zaihou and leaned against the back of the carriage to take a nap.

The journey was quite smooth. At dawn, they changed boats. Two sailors took turns rowing a small boat. In less than half a day, they landed on a small island. Meng'er and the others were taken to a small courtyard. Someone led them into a room. Then an old woman brought two bowls of noodles. Meng'er didn't care about anything else at this time. Filling her stomach was the most important thing. After eating and drinking, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She and Zaihou fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. They slept until dawn the next day. Meng'er got up and felt refreshed. She hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. Meng'er thought about it and found it funny. She didn't know where this place was. But these days, this place where she knew nothing gave her a strong sense of security.

In the next few days, they seemed to be forgotten. Except for the old woman who came to deliver meals every day, they didn't see anyone else. The old woman was in her sixties or seventies, and her legs and feet were not very good. She looked kind, but she didn't like to talk much. Every time she came to deliver meals, she just smiled kindly at Meng'er and left. Meng'er tried to talk to the old woman, but the old woman always looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't explain it clearly. Later, Meng'er didn't ask her anymore. Meng'er thought that the men in black had left her here for several days, so they should have some explanation. But after waiting for a long time, no one paid attention to them. Meng'er asked Zaihou to stay in the house and not run around, and she decided to go out and find out.

Mei'er was worried that she would be confined to her house, but as she walked out, she didn't see many people at all. Slowly, she became familiar with the surrounding environment. This is a small island with a small area. There are a few fishermen living on the island, but they are only occasionally on the island. Most of the time they go to the land. The fish are not fat in this season, and fishermen rarely come to the island. The island lacks everything else except fishing tools. Mei'er took Zaihou to catch fish. Mei'er didn't know how to cast a net, and she could never catch anything every time she cast a net. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law was actually proficient in this. Although her legs and feet were not good, she cast the net very well. Mei'er kept clapping and cheering. Her mother-in-law performed very well in front of the two children. She hadn't fished for many years, but she was not unfamiliar with casting a net to catch fish.
