Chapter 237 Compromise
Chapter 237 Compromise
With Xiao Siqi's comfort, Xiao Siqi finally adapted to the rural life.
However, even if she was not used to it, she could do nothing about it, because if she did not obey, she would be beaten. Si Rui's personality was not like that of a well-behaved little girl. In comparison, her personality was more stubborn, so she naturally suffered more beatings and scolding.
Looking at Si Xi's back that was swollen and red from being whipped, Huo Siqi felt heartbroken, "Nannan, you must be in a lot of pain."
His tone was tearful and he regretted going shopping with them very much.
It turned out that Huo Siqi went out with the family today, but they did not allow Si Rui to go with them.
Huo Siqi thought that he would go out to check the situation and find a chance to escape, so he left Si Wei at home. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he saw Si Wei crying heartbreakingly. He ran to Si Wei almost immediately.
"Brother, please don't leave me, okay?" At this moment, Si Rui was extremely afraid of being abandoned. She had already lost her mother and brother, and didn't want to lose Huo Siqi again.
"Nannan, I don't mean to abandon you. Today I just go out with them to familiarize myself with the route. We'll find a chance to escape later." Huo Siqi, who is only 6 years old, is mature beyond his age. He knows that he should find an opportunity to escape with Si Rui.
"Brother, I'm really scared being here alone today." Si Rui was alone at home all day today, and she was locked in her room.
Although she tried her best to restrain herself from crying, tears still flowed from her eyes like a flood. At the end of the day, her big, watery eyes had swollen like two walnuts.
When Huo Siqi came back, he saw Si Rui's face full of tear marks and red and swollen eyes. He felt heartbroken.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. I will never leave you here alone again next time."
Although Huo Siqi also wanted to go home very much, he was more worried about Si Rui now.
The two little ones snuggled up to each other, trying to adapt to the unfamiliar environment.
In a blink of an eye, the environment in the mountains slowly changed from lush green to golden leaves all over the mountains.
After a few months, Si Rui and Huo Siqi gradually adapted to life in the mountains.
Although the two had not given up on going home, they already knew that they could not get out now.
Unless someone helps, but how could anyone here help these two kids?
The people in this mountain all favor the people from their own village. Even if there are kind-hearted people, they will not risk offending the entire village to help the two children.
Not to mention helping two children, even the young women who were trafficked to the mountains could not escape from the mountains, let alone two children who were only a few years old.
at the dinner table,
"Grandma, can you take my sister and I to the market this weekend?"
Before dinner, Huo Siqi had been thinking about asking the old man to take him and Si Rui to town.
He had only gone out once in the past six months, and that was in the summer when the woods were dense. Now that winter was approaching, the environment in the mountains had changed a lot, so Huo Siqi still wanted to take another look.
However, as soon as Huo Siqi finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cold.
Especially the old man stared at Huo Siqi with a scrutinizing look.
Being stared at by the old man, although Huo Siqi was a little scared in his heart, he still tried to maintain the expression on his face.
a long time,
"Xiaobao, are you still thinking about leaving here?"
The old woman looked at Huo Siqi with a light gaze and spoke calmly.
After hearing the old woman's words and seeing her eyes, Huo Siqi shook his head repeatedly to express his thoughts, fearing that the old woman would not believe him.
"Grandma, I don't want to leave. I just want to take a look at our market. Didn't you say before that it's very lively here during the New Year?" Huo Siqi tried his best to make his tone firmer. In fact, he had already thought of the reasons to face the old lady and the old man's questioning from the beginning.
The old woman and the old man did not say anything, but just looked at Huo Siqi in silence.
For a moment, the scene was unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear the occasional bird calls coming from the deep mountains.
I don’t know if it was a minute or several minutes later, but Huo Siqi felt his palms were sweating from nervousness.
Fortunately, at this time the two shrewd old men finally put down their scrutinizing gazes.
The two thought that the two children had indeed behaved much better in the past six months, and now they were probably bored staying in the mountains and wanted to go out and take a look.
"I'm not free at this time. Wait for a while."
In the end, the old woman did not agree to let Huo Siqi and Si Rui come out of retirement, but she did not refuse too completely and still gave the two children some hope.
There will be many merchants from other places coming to the town market during this period, so it's better to be safe than sorry and not bring these two kids with you.
The old woman's words made Si Rui and Huo Siqi very disappointed.
The two children tried hard to hide the disappointment in their eyes, although they really wanted to leave the place that had trapped them for several months.
Especially Si Rui, she hasn't seen her mother and brother for a long time and missed them so much.
……
The wind was cold, but the remote town seemed to be unaffected by the cold wind.
The uneven road was lined with small stalls on both sides, making the already narrow street even narrower. People coming and going in the middle of the road also filled the entire street.
At this moment, looking at such a bad environment, Huo Xiao's eyebrows were wrinkled together.
Not only did Huo Xiao look unhappy, even the men around him had serious expressions on their faces.
"Boss, let's get back to the car first."
The assistant looked at the crowded street and thought that it was not convenient to tell the boss what he wanted to say in such an environment. It would be better to wait until a relatively safe place to discuss the details.
"Ah."
It was obvious that Huo Xiao also understood that the current environment was not a good place to talk.
A few people quietly left the bustling market and came to a remote place.
"Boss, according to the latest information we have, the young master was last seen in this town."
Although the search area has been narrowed down a lot, no one looks relaxed. It is obvious that the current situation is much more complicated than they had expected.
"Well, continue."
Huo Xiao signaled his assistant to continue.
"Boss, although this town is not big, it is still a bit difficult to find the young master."
The assistant told Huo Xiao the connections between the town and the nearby towns one by one.
To put it simply, even though we found this small town, it still took a lot of effort to find people.
Because the people here are very united, towns and villages generally help each other, inform each other, and cover up for each other.
It is difficult for outsiders to find out anything about human trafficking.
Maybe they have been noticed by the people here.
