Sure enough, the child who had been crying just now choked and dared not cry anymore. He could only stare with his eyes and gasp for breath.

"I'm taking away all the towels used to gag you now. If anyone makes a sound, don't blame my whip for not having eyes."

The surrounding woods were shady, bringing some coolness to the children who were feeling stuffy. Everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little as the things blocking their mouths were taken out, but their eyes unconsciously looked around with timid eyes.

Tia looked around and didn't see the town that Qingning mentioned. She had an idea in her mind. Now she just wanted to make them walk there to waste their energy, so that they would not make a big noise later and upset their so-called big brother. The reprimand just now was probably for them to see.

The coolness brought by the shade of the trees could not offset the loss of body water. As time went on, everyone began to feel more and more uncomfortable, but no one made a sound out of fear of the bearded man's whip. Gradually, their lips became chapped, and they couldn't help licking their lips and gasping for breath.

Skinny Monkey followed behind the team, frowning as he saw everyone walking slower and slower. "What are you hesitating about? Believe it or not, I'll just leave you here. It's not as safe here as in town after dark."

The people behind got scared when they heard it and started shouting.

"The person in front is walking too slowly!"

"That's right, they're walking too slowly!"

"They're blocking the road, otherwise they wouldn't be moving so slowly."

"You can't go fast without us."

"You can't even walk anymore, but you insist on blaming us. You deserve to be thrown here to feed the wolves soon."

……

A group of children started quarreling without blocking their mouths, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic. Some of them even started fighting.

Many people began to slowly retreat to the periphery of the circle. Tia accidentally stepped on someone and turned around to see that it was the boy in the blue shirt again.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked with a vicious expression and a deliberately lowered voice.

"Why are you staring at me?" Tia knew that she might have been stared at, but now she was only being stared at by this person. If she couldn't explain it well, the boy might tell the other two people.

She deliberately put on a coquettish look, turned around and looked directly at the boy, then thought about something, then covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had suddenly realized something. "Could it be that you like me?"

Everything happened so quickly that the boy in the blue shirt was caught off guard before he could even react.

The eyes of those who were originally watching the show on the periphery could not help but turn to the two of them. The two who were fighting stopped, and the periphery suddenly became the inner circle again. The bearded man and the skinny monkey who were about to scold someone stared at the little boy in the blue shirt, and obviously noticed it as well.

The little boy in the blue shirt subconsciously looked up at the two of them with stern eyes, and broke out in a sweat. He quickly explained, "Who likes you?"

She saw the two people staring at her from the corner of her eye. She pretended not to know, but instead said, "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, then don't stare at me. It's embarrassing."

The little boy's face flushed red. Looking at Tia's sparkling eyes and pretty face, he couldn't say anything harsh. But when he thought about being abandoned by the other two, he couldn't help but get nervous, "Don't slander me."

He turned around and looked at the bearded man and the skinny monkey again. He had finally managed to persuade the two men to stop abusing him. He had agreed to be their spy and observe these kids. He had even been given some water to drink just now, but now it was all over.

The bearded man and the skinny guy would not let this farce continue. They had transported so many people before, so they naturally knew that they were just taking advantage of the chaos to let a few people escape. They called for help, but one of them had a whip in his hand and the other took out a soft whip from somewhere, which scared the people around who wanted to run back. The few who tried to force their way in had their ankles caught by the whip and fell to the ground.

"If you keep making trouble, you'll all be fed to the wolves!"

"You all have the energy to make trouble, right? Let's all run."

A group of children were forced to run. If they ran slower, the ground around their feet would be hit by the whip and stones would fly everywhere.

Tia was already malnourished, and she had just recovered over the past two days. Her physical fitness was very poor, not to mention that the clothes she wore today were not suitable for exercise. She was slowly unable to hold on any longer, but the whip kept hitting her feet, and the flying stones hitting her legs made her even more uncomfortable. She could even feel her legs being scratched by the sharp stones.

I really want to drink water, I really want to rest, I really want...

The thoughts in my mind were like sparks hitting a pile of straw, and they could never be extinguished.

Maybe it was because the thought was too strong, but Tia gradually felt that her body was absorbing water and she was becoming less dehydrated. She opened her eyes that were about to close due to fatigue, and saw a scene that surprised her.

The surrounding water vapor turned into blue light spots and sank into his body just like the green light spots, replenishing the water that his body lacked.

She looked around and was relieved to find that no one noticed the anomaly.

The cool water vapor soothed the restless emotions and relieved the physical fatigue to a certain extent. Even the small gravel and dirt sticking to the wound were washed away by the water vapor, and the steps became a little lighter.

The pain stretched out, but our endurance dwindled. Just as everyone was about to collapse to the ground, exhausted, we finally entered the town.

The people in the town lost interest when they saw the bearded man and the skinny monkey, and silently lowered their heads and quickened their pace.

The children looked at the passers-by with pleading eyes, wanting to ask for help. But before they could say anything, the people around them dispersed. Everyone understood everything in an instant and stopped struggling.

A group of people were taken to a small courtyard, which seemed to have been specially renovated.

The open-air area is divided into two parts. One part is a large open space, and the other part is rows of neatly arranged wooden tables and chairs. On the left side of the entrance are rooms connected to each other. There are several people in some rooms, and you can hear that someone is teaching them talents. There is a person guarding the door every five rooms, and it is obvious that the security is very strict.

"Qing Ning, go back and tell my brother what happened here."

Qing Ning responded twice, then quickly slipped out under the cover of her clothes.

"Where are the Mar people? Hurry up and get some water! I'm dying of thirst."

"Here I come, here I come! You're always the loudest!" A response came from the room on the right. "Didn't you hear them urging you? Hurry up and get the water out!"

"You guys, don't just stand there. Men, stand on the left, women, stand on the right. Hurry up! If you're quick, you'll get your food soon."

Perhaps because they heard that there was food, even though everyone was very tired, they quickly formed up into teams.

Two fat and strong men came out of the room on the right, carrying two large buckets, followed by a man with a limp.

"Isn't this given to you?"
