Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

I had just parted ways with my classmate and was about to take a ride home when a man next to me grabbed me. I thought that if I shouted loudly and attracted onlookers, he would be too scared to do anything.

Who knew that the other party would now be twisting the truth, claiming to be his wife and fabricating such a despicable story about herself. She had clearly seen someone about to make a move, but the woman's words had scared them back.

Hearing the insults directed at her from all around, she felt like crying but couldn't. She had heard from a friend that some human traffickers specialized in abducting women and selling them to remote villages to have children with bachelors who couldn't find wives.

She was certain that the person in front of her was that kind of person, and the thought of possibly being sold to a remote village and imprisoned there in darkness sent chills down her spine.

"Don't listen to them, I don't know them at all. What they're saying is all lies, all deceitful words." Qiu Dongdong's voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain and despair.

Remembering the tragic descriptions her friends had given her of those women, she would rather die than live that kind of dark and hopeless life. Now, all she hopes is that someone will stand up and stop this man.

However, when she looked at everyone with pleading eyes, they all remained silent, and some even shouted at her to go back to her life with a man.

"and many more!"

Just as she was in despair, a voice rang out, interrupting their actions, and then everyone saw a petite figure walk out from the crowd.

Long Lifan had been observing the expressions of those people. Although most of them were deceived by the story fabricated by the middle-aged woman, she felt that sometimes the truth was in the hands of a minority.

Judging from the woman's attire, although it wasn't particularly glamorous, she had clearly dressed up. What couple would dress up before leaving after an argument?

Moreover, she could clearly sense the despair in the woman's eyes; if it were truly a minor argument between the couple, she would have needed to act this way.

"You just said my classmate is your wife, but I didn't know she was married."

"Then tell me my classmate's name? Where does he live?"

The middle-aged woman immediately jumped out and shouted, "Where did this little girl come from? What does our family matter have to do with you?"

"Hehe, are you getting angry because you're embarrassed?" Long Lifan chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, her name is Zhang Yan, you didn't know that, did you?" Long Lifan turned her gaze to the man.

"Of course I know, how could I not know?" The man smiled awkwardly, then explained, "We were introduced by a matchmaker and got married in just a couple of days, so I didn't think about it for a moment."

Hearing this, Long Lifan's lips curled into a cold smile. She had some doubts before, but now she was 100% certain these people were human traffickers.

Whether in the future or now, the person she hates most is undoubtedly this utterly depraved individual before her. Trafficking women and children has caused countless families to be torn apart and lives lost.

"Since you're Xiaoyan's classmate, why don't you come with me? You can also try to persuade your classmate to settle down with me." The man saw that Long Lifan was alone and immediately had an idea.

"Fine, let go of my classmate first! What kind of husband are you? Look how swollen my classmate's hand is from being pulled!" Long Lifan said with a smile, pretending to be a husband.

She had already mentally retrieved the stun gun from her spatial storage and placed it in her sleeve. She had already planned to grab the woman and run away the moment he let go. The stun gun was her last resort, just in case.

The man thought about it for a moment. Since they were just two young girls, he wasn't worried about them running away.

"Fine, I'll let go. You and I..."

"Run!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Long Lifan grabbed the woman and ran away, repeatedly shouting, "They're all human traffickers! Everyone, catch them!"

Regardless of the era, people have always deeply abhorred human traffickers.

Hearing her shouting, many people gathered around. They couldn't interfere in her family affairs, but catching bad guys was a different story. Especially since people these days value the spirit of Lei Feng, helping others is a joy.

Seeing his companion surrounded, the man was instantly enraged and quickened his pace. It was all that damned girl's fault for ruining his plans.

As she drew closer, Long Lifan was contemplating whether to use her life-saving measures when a figure flashed past her, followed by a loud "bang".

Long Lifan turned around unintentionally and saw that the man who had been chasing them was lying on the ground, and a tall and slender figure was standing in front of him with his back to them.

"call"

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did the figure slowly turn around and whisper to her, "Are you alright?"

"Qi Shishen!"

Long Lifan was surprised it was him, but the worry in her heart finally subsided. She gently shook her head and said, "It's alright, they didn't catch up!"

She and Qiu Dongdong also walked over. Seeing two figures retreating in the crowd, Long Lifan couldn't help but shout, "Don't let them get away!"

Hearing her words, the two men quickened their pace, but Qi Shishen still kicked them to the ground from behind.

She had been a little suspicious when the two of them echoed the man and the woman's words in the crowd, and now that she saw them trying to run away, she was even more certain.

Shortly after, two police officers arrived to investigate the situation and then took the four people back to the police station. Since Qiu Dongdong was the victim, she had to go with the police to give a statement.

"Comrade, thank you so much!" Before leaving, Qiu Dongdong felt a sense of relief, sincerely thanking Long Lifan. If it weren't for her, she feared…

"By the way, comrade, my name is Qiu Dongdong, from Pingwu County. I don't even know your name yet!" Qiu Dongdong was preparing to ask about her savior so she could repay this life-saving kindness.

"Long Lifan is currently an educated youth in Dongwan Brigade!" Long Lifan did not hide anything.

After Qiu Dongdong and the police left, the crowd began to disperse. Only then did Long Lifan turn to Qi Shishen and thank him, saying, "Thanks so much for today!"

Although she had a life-saving technique hidden in her sleeve, it was not a product of this era, and she dared not use it openly.

At most, they could only cover for themselves and Qiu Dongdong to leave this place; there was no way they could catch all the human traffickers in one fell swoop.

"I should thank you; the medicine you gave me is very effective!" Qi Shishen expressed his heartfelt gratitude as he recalled his mother's condition during this period.

"It was just a transaction, money for goods, no need for thanks." Long Lifan didn't expect Qi Shishen to bring it up again.

"Oh no, they must be getting impatient!" Suddenly remembering that Hu Lili and the others were still waiting for her at the restaurant, she said, "My friend is still waiting for me at the restaurant. Do you want to come along? I'll treat you to a meal to thank you!"

"No need!" Qi Shishen shook his head. "I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

"Fine!"

Long Lifan didn't think too much about it and walked quickly towards the restaurant. She had wasted more than ten minutes at the purchasing station and had been delayed here for a long time. If she didn't go over there soon, Hu Lili would probably get anxious!
