Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

The next day, Zhou Gui and his mother got up before dawn and made breakfast and rice cakes for the people who were going to the provincial capital. They also boiled a dozen eggs.

Seeing that Zhou Rong had finished washing, Zhou's mother took out a long rope and gave it to her: "After getting on the train, tie up the four children one by one. Don't let them get separated. Keep them under your eyes at all times.

If you need to go to the toilet or something, an adult must follow you, understand?"

Zhou Rong: "I know. I will keep an eye on them."

Zhou's mother took out another piece of paper and gave it to Zhou Rong: "Qi Guang is not a resident of the provincial capital, so if he wants to study in the city, he will definitely need a lot of procedures.

I asked your father to ask the private school teacher and the village chief to issue a certificate. See if it can be used. If not, we can find another way. "

Zhou Rong admired his mother for even thinking of this, and put the certificate into his pocket: "I will find a way to get Qi Guang enrolled on time."

"Well, mother believes you."

This time we had a lot of luggage, with everyone's clothes filling up two sacks.

Zhou Jiafu was going to work in the iron factory, and his mother gave him a blanket and a quilt.

Zhou Cai was going to live in the provincial capital for a long time. Her mother didn't want Zhou Rong to spend too much money, so she gave her two quilts and let her take all the clothes for four seasons.

Zhou Rong's mother originally wanted her to take all the dowry that she brought back from the Yang family, including quilts, sheets, clothes and fabrics, to the provincial capital in case there was not enough and she would have to spend money to buy more.

Zhou Rong persuaded her mother, saying that the previous tenant had left six quilts and the landlord had allowed their use. It would be inconvenient to get in and out of the car if she brought too many things, and she would not be able to take care of the children. Only then did Zhou's mother give up and help pack some daily necessities.

Four quilts were carried by Zhou's father; two sacks of clothes were carried by Zhou Jiafu; Sanniu and Sanni sat in a basket carried by Zhou Rong.

Zhou Cai was carrying a big bag and was leading Erniu and Zhou Jiaguang.

A group of people hurried to the village under the moonlight.

I was lucky today. As soon as I arrived in the village, I saw several donkey carts.

There was too much luggage to fit on one donkey cart, so Zhou Rong chartered two donkey carts.

After rushing, we finally arrived at the county railway station at 9:20.

When Zhou Rong was buying the ticket, he met Yang Kaiyun, Fang Pozi and others in the ticket office.

Everyone glared at each other like enemies, without saying a word, and went about their own business.

There were quite a lot of people taking the train today, so Zhou Rong didn't buy four tickets next to each other.

After getting on the train, Zhou Rong politely discussed with the person sitting next to him and adjusted the seats so that his family could sit together. Then, according to Zhou's mother's instructions, he tied the four children one by one with a long rope.

Zhou Jiaguang tugged at the rope around his waist and asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you tying us up like prisoners?"

Zhou Rong explained, "There are human traffickers in the car. They specialize in stealing children when adults are not paying attention and then selling them. Tie the four of you together so that the traffickers can't take away so many children at once. You will be safer."

Zhou Jiaguang stood up, looked around, and asked, "Where are the traffickers? Why can't I see them? There are obviously people here who took the train like us."

Zhou Cai pulled Zhou Jiaguang down and sat him down: "Human traffickers are just like bad guys, how could they be so stupid as to write the words 'I am a human trafficker' on their faces?

Didn't my mother tell us a lot of stories about human traffickers? The kinder a person looks, the more likely he is to be a human trafficker.

You stay here quietly and don't cause any trouble. If you are caught and sold by human traffickers, we won't save you and let you be abused every day without any food to eat!"

Zhou Jiaguang pouted unhappily and muttered, "What mom said were all made-up stories. They're not that scary."

Seeing Zhou Jiaguang’s contempt, Zhou Rong recalled some reports about human traffickers he had seen in his previous life and said, “What my mother made up were not stories, they all happened in reality.

Yang Jinlin once told me about several human trafficking cases investigated by the Public Security Bureau. If the abducted children were sold to families in the mountains who were short of children, it would be the best outcome.

Some children were not so lucky. They were locked up in a dirty, smelly dark room, and had their hands or legs broken. Some were even chopped off with knives, making them look very pitiful.

When the children's wounds were almost healed, they were thrown onto the streets to beg.

They were given tasks every day, and if they failed to complete them, they would be beaten and not given food. Children were often beaten to death or starved to death.

If you don’t want to have your hands and feet cut off, or be beaten or go hungry, just sit next to us and don’t leave our sight.”

Zhou Jiaguang was frightened and shrank into his father's arms, not saying a word.

When the train was halfway through its journey, Sanni wanted to go to the toilet, so Zhou Rong carried her there. When they came back, they were bumped by a middle-aged man carrying a basket.

The man smiled naively and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry to have bumped into you. I apologize. There were too many people in the car ahead, and it was hard to put my basket there. My wife is pregnant, so I had to come here to rest. We'll get off at the next stop."

Seeing that he had a good attitude and that there was indeed a pregnant woman following him with two large sacks stuffed in the basket, Zhou Rong did not care and carried Sanni back to his seat.

Just a few minutes after sitting down, I heard Jin Mei crying: "Daniu! Where are you? Come back to me, don't scare me!"

Jin Mei's hair was disheveled and tears were streaming down her face. She ran around the carriage like crazy. Every time she saw a child, she grabbed him to check on him, which attracted a lot of dissatisfaction and curses from many people.

Yang Jinsen followed behind Jin Mei, apologizing to everyone and asking the passengers if they had seen a boy about 7 years old. His son disappeared while going to the toilet, and only the child's mother would do this.

After learning the reason, everyone stopped blaming Jin Mei and said that they had not seen the child that Yang Jinsen mentioned.

Danniu is his only son and no mistakes can be made. Yang Jinsen did not give up and continued to ask the next person.

When it came to asking about the seats of Zhou Rong and others, Yang Jinsen saw that it was them. Not wanting to make himself look awkward, he swallowed the words he wanted to ask and turned to ask the people sitting next to him.

Jin Mei's crying was so sad that Zhou Rong felt a little uncomfortable listening to it. She didn't like the Yang family, but she also didn't want to see a mother in despair.

Stopping Yang Jinsen, Zhou Rong asked, "Is your Daniu missing?"

Seeing Zhou Rong asking, Yang Jinsen said, "Yes, he disappeared after going to the toilet. I clearly saw him go in, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. It's too mysterious."

Zhou Rong: "Have you checked the restroom? Is there anyone else in there?"

Yang Jinsen: "Daniu said he needed to go to the toilet and didn't want us to follow him. I saw it was only a few steps away, so I let him go.

He had been in the bathroom for several minutes and didn't come out. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I went to look for him. It turned out that Da Niu was no longer in the bathroom, and there was a pregnant woman inside.

The pregnant woman wouldn't let me in to see, and her husband even said that if I dared to go in, I would be considered a hooligan and was ready to beat me up.

An auntie nearby said that she saw Da Niu coming out after using the toilet, touching things everywhere in the train, and then ran to the carriage behind us.

Jinmei and I searched the last few carriages but didn't see Da Niu.

My parents were very anxious, so they took Yaodi to continue looking in the back car, so Jinmei and I headed in that direction.

We, the Yang family, are sorry for what happened before. I hope you can let bygones be bygones. If you see Daniel, let me know. Thank you."

According to Yang Jinsen's description, Da Niu should have been lost not long ago. The train has not stopped during this period, and the child must still be on the train.

Zhou Rong thought about it for a while and asked Yang Jinsen about the appearance of the pregnant woman and the man.

After hearing this, she smiled and knew where the child was...
