The wife of two taels of silver

They walked further and further, and had already left Hua'an County. Xiaobai and Lin Haitang plunged into a bamboo forest.

Carrying the abducted children, these beasts will not stop to rest in order to make money. They will travel day and night for fear that something might go wrong on the way.

The moon hangs high in the sky, emitting bright white light, which is scattered in the bamboo forest.

At the foot of some unknown mountain, Lin Haitang saw the group of human traffickers.

When he saw the group of figures, Lin Haitang acted decisively, leaned over, stretched out his hand, and whispered, "Xiaobai!"

Xiaobai turned his head and saw it, and reflexively turned around and stretched out his front paws to place them on Lin Haitang's palm.

In an instant, those people turned their heads to look over here, and in an instant, Lin Haitang entered the space with his horse and Xiaobai.

"Third brother, did you hear the sound of horse hooves just now?" The man who spoke had a scraggly beard and a hideous scar running from his left cheek to his temple.

The man being questioned looked back and said, "Brother, you are just too cautious. There is nothing here."

Scar still frowned, looking at the cage next to him, and patted the cage railings, scaring the child inside so that he shrank his shoulders to the side.

There were three cages in total, and each cage contained about a dozen children, all of whom were snow-white and beautiful.

For fear that the children would cry or say something, everyone had their hands and feet tied and a rag stuffed in their mouths.

Gu Mo, Gu Zhilan and Li Yatou huddled together tightly. They had stopped crying, but their eyelids were already red and swollen from crying.

These children were locked in cages openly without any need for covering, because in this era, human trafficking was legal.

If others saw this, they would simply think that this was a child who had been sold into slavery by his family.

"Ow!"

In the space, Xiaobai called out to Lin Haitang.

"Xiaobai," Lin Haitang touched Xiaobai's head and said, "There are too many people. You can't defeat them. Wait a little longer. I will think of a way."

Xiaobai was not convinced. He bent his front paws and gripped the ground tightly, let out a threatening roar from his throat, and faced Lin Haitang in a hunting posture.

Lin Haitang remained unmoved and said, "Xiaobai, you are very powerful, but the other side has five or six people."

Xiaobai was so angry that he lay on the ground with his butt facing Lin Haitang.

Lin Haitang ignored Xiaobai and kept thinking of a solution.

How to save them? She immediately rushed after them on horseback. With only Xiaobai by her side, she faced a group of vicious criminals, and there was absolutely no chance of winning.

There are a lot of things in this space that can save people, but there is really nothing that can harm people.

Lin Haitang couldn't even lift the stone he wanted to use to kill someone.

As expected, I was too concerned and confused. I should have brought the officers and soldiers over with me!

Lin Haitang wanted to slap herself twice. She had chased after him, but what was the point? She hadn't even seen the child. If she had gone straight over, these people would have captured her and sold her out.

The only way now is to go back and ask for soldiers, or she can hire someone to come.

Lin Haitang grabbed Xiaobai's ear and said, "Xiaobai, we need to go back now and bring people over, otherwise we can't win."

After leaving the space, Xiaobai led the way without any nonsense.

A lot of time was wasted going back and forth, and Lin Haitang's anxiety increased instead of decreased.

The only consolation is that these children will not be sold so early, and she still has some time.

When they arrived at Hua'an County, it was already curfew time. Only Lin Haitang, himself and his dog were running wildly on the bluestone road.

As Lin Haitang expected, the government didn't send any troops to look for the children. If they had, Lin Haitang would have encountered them along the way.

Lin Haitang did not waste time going to the county government office, but went directly to the escort agency.

Sanshun Escort Agency, Lin Haitang went to Yancheng to find them.

Lin Haitang knocked on the door twice, but felt the sound wasn't loud enough. She picked up a stone and knocked on the door again: "Open the door! We have a guest!"

The doorman rubbed his eyes and opened the door. His tone was vague, but not impatient. "My lady, it's late at night and the owner is asleep. Sanshun Escort Agency is not accepting business. Please come tomorrow morning."

Lin Haitang clasped his fists and bowed deeply to the doorman: "Little brother, please help me inform him, I really have an urgent matter, and it involves human lives."

At the same time, Lin Haitang stuffed a silver ingot into the doorman's hand.

A full ten taels.

Fortunately, Lin Haitang felt that it was unsafe to keep so much money at home, so she put all the silver and banknotes in the space.

The doorman tightly grasped the silver in his hand, and instantly came to his senses. He clasped his fists towards Lin Haitang and said, "Miss, please wait a moment."

After a while, a burly man in a robe came out. Seeing Lin Haitang, he said, "Is it you, the woman who came here to ask for help?"

Lin Haitang took out a banknote of five hundred taels, raised his hands above his head, bowed, and said earnestly, "Captain, I would like to ask you to send a few men to help me rescue the thirty or so children."

Hearing the child, Qida frowned and asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"My three children were kidnapped and sold to human traffickers. I was reckless and chased after them. I saw no less than 30 children tied up in cages, including my own."

Lin Haitang's eyes reddened as she spoke. "According to the people who kidnapped my children, these children were kidnapped and sold. Boss, there are too many people on the other side. Without your help, I can't rescue the children."

Qi Da said in a deep voice, "Wait, I'll go call someone."

After taking the money, Zida turned and left.

Lin Haitang did not waste any time and immediately jumped on the horse, waiting for the people from the escort agency to come out.

Qi Da called seven people, including him, there were eight in total, plus Xiaobai, these beasts could not escape from Lin Haitang's palm.

"Xiaobai, take the lead!" Lin Haitang shouted, "Brave men, let's go!"

The sound of horse hooves seemed to shake the ground, and the houses on both sides of the road closed their doors and windows tightly, fearing that bad guys would come in.

Lin Haitang hadn't ridden a horse for such a long time in a long time. The inside of her thighs were rubbed sore, not to mention that she was seven months pregnant and her stomach was not feeling well.

Lin Haitang's nerves were always in a tense state. As long as she didn't stop, she would forget most of the discomfort.

The night before dawn is the darkest. It was at this time that Lin Haitang and his friends caught up with the human traffickers.

Scar had heard the sound of horse hooves long ago. They gathered tightly in front of the carriage, staring at the newcomers with sharp eyes. The one leading the group was actually a pregnant young woman. She shouted, "Who are you? If you don't leave now, don't blame us brothers for being rude with our swords!"

Qi Da looked at the child in the cage, frowning, his mouth tight, and raised his scimitar and shouted, "Brothers, go!"

The faces of the people coming from the escort agency were all gloomy. Who wasn't a father? Seeing the children in the carriage, they really wanted to chop off the heads of these beasts.

The two groups of people rushed forward and started fighting, roaring.

"Xiaobai, bite off the scar-faced guy's hand!" Lin Haitang shouted while sitting on the horse.

Looking at the three children huddled together in the cage, Lin Haitang's eyes were bloodshot, his chest was heaving violently, and his roar was a little hoarse.

"Ow!"

Xiaobai pounced forward with his big body, found Scarface, and bit his knife-holding arm accurately.

"Ah! Ahhhhh!!"

Scarface sat on the ground, looking at the wolf's mouth in front of him. The severe pain spread to his cerebral cortex, and he kept kicking and stepping backwards.

Xiaobai made dangerous snoring sounds in his throat and shook his head, trying to bite off his arm.

Xiaobai can usually chew up large bones and eat them, so human arms are naturally no problem for him.

With two snaps, Scar's bones were broken by the amazing bite force of Xiaobai's back molars.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Scar's other hand kept hitting Xiaobai's head, causing cold sweat to flow into his eyes and sting his eyeballs.

Xiaobai bit his arm, twisted his head hard, and bit off the bloody forearm.

And this happened in just a moment.

After biting this one, Xiaobai bit the nearest human trafficker directly without Lin Haitang's further instructions.

"Xiaobai, don't bite my neck!" Lin Haitang stood by and warned.

Scar covered the upper side of his bitten arm, roared, and rolled on the ground.

Lin Haitang kicked his broken arm away and stepped on his chest with her right foot with all her strength.

"Bastard! He even sold the child!" Lin Haitang was still not satisfied and kicked him several times.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Scar could only roll around on the ground wailing.

Lin Haitang bent down and pulled the key to the cage from his waist, then hurried to the cage and opened it.

At this time, the people from the escort agency had already beaten these beasts out and kept them far away from the cage.

"Momolanlan! Girls!" Lin Haitang pushed away the rags stuffed in the children's mouths.

The three children burst into tears when they saw Lin Haitang.

"Mom, I, I thought I bit it to death..." Lanlan had never cried so hard before.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Mom is here, your aunt is here. It's okay, it's okay..." Lin Haitang comforted them mechanically while trying to untie the children's bound hands. However, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't untie them.

"Yeah!" Lin Haitang slapped the railing heavily, trying to stop her hands from shaking.

It really works. Lin Haitang’s hands don’t shake as badly anymore.

After the three children were untied, they rushed over, surrounded Lin Haitang, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears.

Lin Haitang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice choked as she said, "It's okay, it's okay. How could I let anything happen to you?"

After crying for a long time, the three children finally calmed down.

The other children had rags stuffed in their mouths and could not speak. They could only make whimpering sounds and twist their little bodies.

Lin Haitang looked at the three children and said, "Now I need you to come with me to release these children and untie them, okay?"

"Yeah!" The three people were still sobbing and nodded.

Lin Haitang patted their heads one by one and said, "What good children!"

The oldest of these children was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was three years old, even younger than Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan. Every time Lin Haitang saved a child, she became more angry.

Lin Haitang originally thought that there were only more than 30 children, but after rescuing them all, she found that there were actually 52 children.

Among them, there are forty-six girls and six boys.

It's simply unscrupulous.

The escort agency also subdued all the human traffickers.

There were three arms on the ground, all bitten off by Xiaobai.

Qi Da looked at the children and asked Lin Haitang, "So many children?"

Lin Haitang nodded tiredly and said, "Fifty-two children."

"These people are worse than animals!" said a man in the escort agency.

Everyone was furious.

After all this trouble, the sky was already getting light.

"Send all these people to the county government office," said Qi Da.

Lin Haitang nodded and said, "I want to see these people go to the guillotine. These children also need to go to the government office and then send them all back home."

The six beasts were locked in a cage. Each member of the escort agency took care of one child, and the rest still needed to be taken back to Hua'an County in cages.

But the children were not so scared anymore because they met a group of good people who wanted to take them home.

"Where are these children from?" Qi Da looked back and saw that they were all beautiful children. It was not difficult to understand what these people were doing by capturing these children. He despised these human traffickers even more in his heart.

Lin Haitang supported Gu Zhilan in her arms and said, "There are many places, including Zhang Village, Tianjiazhuang, and so on. There are also places in other counties, such as Yuhu County, which are far away from Hua'an County."

After a long silence, Lin Haitang sighed and said, "I wonder how many children these people have sold in the past."

This is not the first time they have done this, nor are they the first people to do this. Countless children have suffered at their hands in invisible places.

Qi Da also fell silent.

But this is the way the world is, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Qi Da clasped his fists towards Lin Haitang and said, "Miss Lin, you are so righteous. If you have any problems in the future, please come to Sanshun Escort Agency to find me, Qi Da."

Lin Haitang waved her hand and said, "Hey, what kind of righteous person am I? If my child hadn't been arrested, I wouldn't have known about this."

"Just because you are a woman and you travel hundreds of miles to save your son despite being pregnant, this is enough for me to admire you," said Qi Da.

"What can I do? No one would remain indifferent if their child was abducted. Everyone is the same. It's just that I have money and can find people. I'm just a little luckier." Lin Haitang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

She raised Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan for four months. Every time the girl saw her, she would shyly call her aunt. Lin Qiaoxia also helped her a lot. No matter from which perspective, she had to save them, and she was willing to do so.

It would be the same even if only the girl was abducted.

Qi Da was silent, as if he was convinced by Lin Haitang's words.

Gu Zhilan fell asleep, her eyelids still red, and she slept soundly in her mother's arms.

The whole team was silent, with only the sounds of horses' hooves hitting the ground and wheels rolling.

Because it was the return trip, the children had been rescued and were safe, so we didn't walk fast.

The children relaxed and fell asleep with their heads tilted.
