Shinobu Kocho was like a lively little bird, bouncing around the stalls. She saw a book about herbs, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Ye Ming once again played the role of a bag-carrying expert and quickly paid for the book.
As they walked, an alluring aroma came to their noses. It turned out to be a snack stall with sweet glutinous rice dumplings and crispy fried cakes. The three stopped and tasted the delicious snacks.
Kocho Kanae took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling, squinted her eyes with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "It's really delicious."
"Let me try it, let me try it." Shinobu Kocho playfully handed the fried cake to Ye Ming's mouth and asked him to try it too.
Ye Ming took a bite, and the crispy taste and rich fragrance made him give a thumbs up.
They continued to stroll around the market and bought some beautiful fabrics and small accessories. Ye Ming had more and more bags in his hands, but he didn't complain at all. Looking at the happy smiles of the two sisters, he felt that everything was worth it.
The three of them walked and walked until they reached the end of the market.
"Go, go faster, you are walking so slowly, do you want to be beaten?"
Just as they were playing happily, a burst of inappropriate words came from a distance.
Ye Ming and others frowned and turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
The pupils shrank suddenly.
It was a middle-aged man with a bun. He was holding a rope in his hand and was constantly scolding a little girl behind him.
The little girl's small body looked particularly thin. She was wearing shabby and ill-fitting clothes, and her hair was a little messy and scattered on her shoulders. Her eyes were empty and numb, as if she had lost her perception of everything around her. There was no expression on her face, like a lifeless puppet, just mechanically pulled forward by the middle-aged man. Her steps were heavy and dragging, as if every step she took exhausted all her strength. There was no trace of the liveliness and vigor of a child in her, only endless fatigue and despair.
People around pointed and looked at the pair, but no one stepped forward to stop them.
"Let her go, how can you treat a little girl like this."
Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but speak first, and immediately ran to the uncle, pointed at his nose and shouted loudly.
The trafficker uncle saw a girl suddenly rushing in front of him, pointed at his nose and started to accuse him.
He said impatiently.
"It's none of your business, she was bought from someone else by me, if you have the ability, you can buy her away, if you don't buy her, don't meddle in other people's business."
"You!"
Shinobu Kocho gritted her teeth, you are a human trafficker and you are so confident.
Kanae gently pulled Shinobu Kocho's arm and said softly: "Shinobu, don't be impulsive." Shinobu Kocho was very angry, but seeing her sister's gentle and firm eyes, she suppressed her anger.
Kanae turned to face the trafficker uncle, her expression calm but with a kind of majesty that could not be refused.
"Okay, I'll buy her. You name a price."
The trafficker uncle's eyes lit up, revealing a greedy look. He looked up and down at Kanae and the other two, and said loudly: "One hundred taels of silver, not a penny less."
Hudie Ren was about to get angry when she heard it, but was stopped by Kanae again.
Kanae frowned slightly, but still took out one hundred taels of silver from her purse without hesitation and handed it to the trafficker. The trafficker took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and thought it was too little. His eyes had turned.
"I changed my mind, now I want two hundred taels."
Kanae frowned, and just as she was about to speak, Ye Ming stepped forward, his eyes full of coldness.
"Don't go too far."
Ye Ming's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a frightening majesty. His six eyes flashed with light, emitting a strong sense of oppression.
However, the human trafficker seemed to have noticed nothing. He relied on his strong body and was not afraid at all. He raised his chin provocatively: "What? Want to fight? Don't regret it."
A young man and two little girls, what can they do to me?
Ye Ming said no more. His figure flashed like lightning and he came to the human trafficker in an instant.
The human trafficker only felt a flash in front of his eyes. Before he could react, Ye Ming's fist had hit him heavily in the face. The human trafficker screamed, and the whole person was beaten back and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but found that he was in great pain and had no strength at all.
Ye Ming looked down at him and said coldly: "The hundred taels are for your medical expenses. Take the money and get out of here. If you dare to pester me again, it won't be so easy."
The trafficker was terrified and dared not say anything more. He crawled away with the hundred taels of silver.Kanae looked at Ye Ming and smiled.
Kocho Shinobu clapped her hands excitedly: "Well done! People like this should be taught a lesson." Then, Kanae squatted down again, looked at the little girl gently, and said softly: "My name is Kocho Shinobu, what's your name?"
Kana was stunned and didn't answer.
Kanae said gently; "It's okay now, come with us."
The little girl still had empty eyes, but she seemed to feel a little warmth, and silently let Kanae take her hand. The three of them took the little girl and continued to walk towards the Butterfly House.
The three returned to the Butterfly House. Kanae and Kocho Shinobu looked at the little girl who was still silent, and their hearts were full of pity.
Kanae said softly: "Xiao Shinobu, let's give this child a bath first. She must have suffered a lot."
Kocho Shinobu nodded, and the two prepared hot water and clean clothes.
At this time, Ye Ming stood aside and was a little at a loss.
Shinobu Kocho put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and said to Ye Ming: "Hey, why are you still standing here? Get out quickly."
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to say something, he saw Kanae laughing on the side. He was embarrassed and quickly replied: "Okay, I'll wait outside."
After that, he hurried out of the room and gently closed the door.
In the room, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho carefully took off the worn-out clothes for the little girl. When they saw the scars and stains on the little girl, Kanae's face was full of pity, while Shinobu Kocho was surprisingly angry, saying that she had just hit her lightly and shouldn't have let the trafficker go.
They gently put the little girl into the hot water and washed the dirt and fatigue on her body with warm water. The little girl still had no expression, but under the wrapping of hot water, her body seemed to relax a little.
While bathing the little girl, Kanae whispered comforting words: "Don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on, we will take good care of you."
Shinobu Kocho also echoed: "Yes, you will be with us from now on, and no one will bully you anymore."
