The man with the scar stopped the ox cart with those human traffickers in front of the boy: "Hey, kid, have you seen a little girl?"
"No." The boy said clearly.
"No? That’s strange. There are only a few roads to your village. How co you haven’t seen her?" The man with the scar was doubtful.
"Why would I have seen her?" The boy retorted, "I just got here too! Our old ox went missing, so I ca looking for it! Our big yellow dog went missing, so I ca looking for the dog! I’ve got no ti to see any little girl."
"Alright then. Thanks!" The man with the scar thanked him, and drove the ox cart away.
After watching the group leave, and making sure they wouldn’t return, the boy went to check behind the big tree for the little girl.
But the little girl was nowhere to be seen.
"Sigh, this little girl doesn’t trust ." The boy sighed, "If she runs around now, she’ll either fall into their hands or into other bad people’s hands. What should I do? I’d better go to the police!"
When the boy finally left, Yan Huan erged from her hiding place.
She couldn’t trust anyone. This big brother seed nice. But what if he changed his mind and kept her here?
She had to go back and find the police.
..................
Yan Huan’s tears flowed continuously, her body shaking more and more violently, as she cried like she was falling apart.
ng Qingi and Ji Shuanglin were stunned.
"What’s happening to the child?" ng Qingi didn’t understand the situation.
"I don’t know. Did our son bully her?" Ji Shuanglin guessed wildly.
"It’s impossible! If our son bullied her, Yan Huan wouldn’t be holding him so tightly, would she?" The old couple couldn’t figure out the situation, while Ji Chuan held Yan Huan without saying a word.
They were really worried!
"Huanhuan, are you okay? Did you rember sothing?" Ji Chuan gently patted her back, comforting her softly like a child.
Yan Huan nodded continuously: "Yes, I rembered! I rembered everything!"
"Can you tell ?" Ji Chuan’s voice was low but gentle, trying to coax Yan Huan to speak about the past events, "No matter what happened, it’s all in the past. Huanhuan, don’t be afraid! I will never leave you in this lifeti, I swear!"
Yan Huan cried for a long ti, then lifted her head, her face covered in tears, looking utterly heartbroken: "Big brother..."
"What?" Ji Chuan was a bit dazed by Yan Huan calling him that.
"Big brother, big brother! Do you still rember?" Yan Huan looked into his eyes, speaking word by word, "Do you rember? That windy and sandy day, you ca across a filthy little girl on the road, so dirty you couldn’t see her features..."
Ji Chuan vaguely rembered sothing like that: "That was a long ti ago, I vaguely rember sothing like that... Why... how do you know..."
His words trailed off as he suddenly realized, "Could you be...?"
"Big brother! Ji Chuan! The person you reported to the police about and got rescued years ago was ! I was that little girl! Filthy all over, like a startled rabbit. You even gave her buns to eat!" Yan Huan said, looking at Ji Chuan.
"You’re... that little girl?!!" Ji Chuan swore, this was the most shocking thing he had ever heard in his life.
