Traveling through 70's wine

Wen Qing took her luggage and asked, "Tell me what's in it?"

The man said, "My wife cleaned it up, I haven't seen it yet."

Wen Qing said: "In my bag there is a bag of cakes, a bottle of wine, and some clothes." Then she opened the bag to show everyone.

The man looked at Wen Qing, picked up the other luggage and tried to get off the bus, saying, "I'm sorry, I might have taken the wrong one."

Wen Qing said, "Don't worry."

Four wallets were found on him, and he said to the people in the car, "See if your things are still there?"

An old woman felt around her waist and immediately cried out, "My wallet is gone."

Others said that their wallet was missing or something was missing from their luggage.

The man wanted to squeeze out of the car, but Wen Qing held him tightly, so he threatened: "Let me go, or I'll beat you to death."

Wen Qing glanced at him, grabbed the luggage from his hand, let go of his hand, and the man quickly got out of the car.

Wen Qing handed the things in her hand to the driver, picked up her bag and got off the car.

She followed the man from a distance, only to see him take many turns and get on a bus. Wen Qing also squeezed in from another door. After more than ten minutes, the man got off the bus, and Wen Qing also got off. She followed him to an alley, only to see him push open a door and go in.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Qing lightly jumped onto the wall, then jumped down and hid under the back window. She only heard the man say to an old man inside, "Brother, I didn't get it this time. I almost got caught."

"What happened?"

"I lost my hand in the car and was discovered by a short guy."

"Where is the shorty from? Is he a cop?"

"I don't know. He doesn't look like a gangster."

"Are you sure? Don't bring the ghost back."

"Don't I know? I took a long detour before I got back by bus."

"Useless thing, get out."

"Brother, I'm leaving." He pushed the door open and went out.

Wen Qing walked around the courtyard several times and looked at it carefully. It was a small courtyard with three main rooms and east and west wing rooms. There were two rooms in each wing room, and there was a kitchen at the foot of the south wall.

There are three main rooms. The middle one is the room that the strong man entered just now. There is a bedroom on the east side with a bed, and there is also a bedroom on the west side with a bed. There are two bedrooms in the east wing, each with two beds. One of the west wing has a large bunk bed and the other is a storage room.

In addition to the old man I just heard, there were three other people in the yard, one in the east wing and the other in the kitchen.

She squatted in the utility room and waited for an hour. The man in the main room went to the bedroom on the east side of the main house. Wen Qing took the opportunity to go to the bedroom on the west side of the main house and used a wire to poke the lock open.

After entering, she found that in addition to a bed, there was also an inner room with three shelves against the wall, on which were some wooden boxes. There were also three wooden boxes on the ground. Wen Qing left the room and locked the door as usual.

It was completely dark and some people started to come back to the yard one after another.

There were two middle-aged men, one middle-aged woman, three boys and two girls.

Everyone went to the main hall to see the old man first. I heard a girl say, "Xiaoqin only wants this much money today. Give her five yuan from my money. I beg you to show me mercy, brother."

Wen Qing looked up and saw that both girls were only thirteen or fourteen years old. The girl who was talking was wearing a tattered cotton coat, the color of which could not be seen. The other girl was only wearing a sweater and her face was pale from the cold. She did not say anything and just stood there woodenly.

The old man said, "Xiaoqin, how many days this week did you fail to complete your tasks?"

The girl named Xiaoqin seemed not to hear anything, her eyes fixed on the ground. The girl who had just spoken pulled her, and Xiaoqin finally spoke, "Two days."

"You can't even finish the 10 yuan a day. Xiaoqin, don't eat tonight. Xiaozhen, don't let her steal food. If you steal it from me, I will chop off your hands."

A look of fear flashed across Xiao Zhen's face as she spoke just now. "I dare not, I dare not."

The old man waved his hand and the two girls went out.

Three boys, the oldest was 15 or 6 years old, the youngest was only about ten years old, entered the main room, only to hear a low growl from inside, "We haven't found a single dollar, you lazy bastard, I'll cripple you before you get the money" followed by the sound of a child crying.

"Stick!" A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks came in and dragged out the youngest boy. The boy cried and struggled, saying, "I will definitely get the money tomorrow."

The old man said, "Okay, I'll give you one last chance, 10 sticks."

The man with a pointed chin and monkey face picked up a wooden stick and hit the little boy on the head. The little boy covered his head and face and let the stick fall on him.

After the beating, the other two boys helped the little boy into the large bunk bed room in the west wing.

Wen Qing became furious. This must be a den of thieves. A few old thieves were forcing the children to beg for money and steal.

In the evening, the voices gradually fade away and the night becomes darker.

There was no one in the west room of the main house. Wen Qing quietly opened the door of the room, put the things in the room together with the shelves into the space, and searched the room carefully. There was a wooden board on the ground near the window, which was covered by the shelves in the afternoon and was not noticed. She lifted the wooden board, revealing a staircase leading downwards.

After going down the stairs, she walked about 20 meters and came to a door. She listened quietly for a while, but there was no sound.

She pushed open the door and turned on the flashlight. It was another room with a slight musty smell. There were two shelves in the room, and on the shelves were six wooden boxes wrapped in oilcloth. She smelled the things and put them into the room.

There was another door in the room. Wen Qing guessed that this might be the door leading to the outside. Sure enough, there was a corridor outside the door. After opening the door and walking about 50 or 60 meters, she pushed the door open and saw a woodshed. After looking carefully at the surrounding environment, she was already behind the courtyard.

Wen Qing walked back into the tunnel, closed the door, and erased all traces of herself.

She quietly opened the old man's door, quickly pressed his sleeping point, and searched the room carefully. She found a notebook in the desk and a vase on the desk. She found a cloth bag in the closet with three rolls of banknotes and other things in the bag. She found a wooden box under the bed with two bundles of banknotes and some books in the box.

She stood up and saw that the bed the old man slept on looked like the step-out bed she had seen in a museum. She rolled the old man up in bedding, laid him on the ground, and put all his things into the space.

Then he went to the east wing, knocked several men and women unconscious, and ransacked the room.

She used her inner strength to mobilize the muscles on her face, transforming herself into a middle-aged woman. She took out a piece of cloth to cover her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. She gently knocked on the door of the west wing and opened it. The child inside was still very alert and immediately asked, "Who is it?"

Wen Qing: "Save your people."

The five children came out after putting on their clothes. Wen Qing grabbed a few pieces of clothes from the cabinet in the east wing and handed them to the children, one piece for each child. After everyone wrapped themselves in clothes, they saw Wen Qing open the door to the yard and walked out together.

Wen Qing took the five children and walked quickly outside, turning left and right. After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at a small forest.

He stopped and asked, "Who can tell me what's going on in that courtyard?"

The oldest boy said, "I was brought here by them last year. The old man is called Yu Lao Da. Usually everyone calls him Big Brother. He is in charge of the area from the west of the train station to the cotton mill.

The tall man is called Ganzi, he is responsible for running the streets, there is another one called Gunzi, he usually takes care of us, there is another one called Menzi, the woman is called Jinjie, she and Menzi are responsible for kidnapping children, we were all brought here by Jinjie and Menzi.
