The stuttering man blushed when he heard Situ Ling's thank you to his elder brother. In fact, he didn't want to do such a deprived thing, but he had to do it for money.

The confusion in the stuttering man's heart only flashed across his face for a moment, but Situ Ling still noticed it.

As soon as the stuttering man returned to the table and sat down, he heard a knock on the door from outside. Another man got up and walked over to the door. "Dong dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong."

Then the response outside the door was "dong, dong dong dong, dong dong"

Situ Ling, who was sitting inside, heard the movement outside and raised her ears to listen. Fortunately, she had good ears and it was not far from the door.

Hearing their method of knocking on the door, I thought to myself: These people must be a gang committing the crime, and there is a code for knocking on the door! It seems that they are not the only ones.

After hearing this, the man on the other side opened the door. When he opened the door, two more men came in, one of whom was carrying a little girl on his shoulders.

The man who opened the door quickly opened and bolted the door when he saw them coming in.

The three of them entered the temple, and the man carrying the girl said to the boss sitting there: "Boss, we collected this from the village on the edge of Lin'an Town." After saying that, he put the girl on the ground.

"I got it." The boss frowned and asked.

Most of the time when they do this, they are out to get people for nothing. To take it back like this, you have to spend your own money to buy it back and then sell it, which is not cost-effective.

The man heard the boss' unhappy voice and said quickly: "Boss, when I came to Lin'an Town today, I wanted to do something big. Houzi and I walked around there for a long time but there was no goods. It happened that a few women came from

We walked by and said that the stepmother was so cruel that she would sell her stepdaughter for the sake of her son and daughter."

Another man continued: "Yes, yes, Brother Da Zhuang and I want to go and have a look first. If it looks good, we can buy it and resell it. It will be quite profitable. Moreover, the government office has tightened the inspection recently. Here,

It's hard to find people around, so we just..." The man said and lowered his head.

The boss put one foot on the stool next to him, put his hand on top of his foot and held a wine glass. He listened carefully to the two younger brothers, but he kept playing with the wine glass in his hand, as if he was thinking.

After the two men finished speaking, they stood there waiting for their boss to speak.

"I know, how much did it cost?" the boss asked in a deep voice.

"Ten taels of silver, here's the deed of sale." The man named Hou Zi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to their boss.

After the boss took it, he stood up, walked to the girl's side, squatted down, pinched the girl's chin with his hands, and lifted it up. He nodded with satisfaction when he saw the appearance.

He stood up and said, "Well, it's okay. Let's take her inside and we'll go out with that girl tonight." The boss looked towards Situ Ling and continued, "That girl is pretty, so take this girl with you."

If you bring her along, you can raise her price, hahaha! Come sit down and have a drink."

"Okay!" The guy named Hou Zi quickly carried the girl to Situ Ling's side, then quickly walked back to the table and sat down to drink."

Situ Ling looked at the girl who was put down by the kidnapper, with a trace of pity for the girl on his face.

I'm not sure how much older this little girl Situ Ling is, because this little girl is a little taller than Situ Ling. She is very thin, has dark skin, and has many thick calluses on her hands, which should be left behind from working frequently at home.

.

How old is this child? She is still in elementary school in modern times. How could her stepmother sell her?

She heard everything the kidnappers said just now, and the stepmother sold the little sister for ten taels of silver.

Situ Ling lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the light in her eyes.

Now the Longyao Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous under the control of the emperor's uncle, and has surpassed the other three countries.

Now the borderland is considered stable, there is no need for war, and the people's taxes have been reduced, so they can live and work in peace and contentment.

How could life be so difficult that she had to sell her daughter to make ends meet? When she was at the house, she heard her grandmother say: Farmers rarely use the money from selling their children to make ends meet, otherwise others will rub their backs.

.

What's more, this young lady's home is near Lin'an Town, not far from the capital. The family should not be so bad that she should be sold. It can only be said that her stepmother is too vicious and cannot tolerate her stepdaughter.

Situ Ling stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth, then put his hands on the ground, squatting like this and slowly moved his body next to the girl.

She stretched out her chubby little hand and took the girl's pulse: "I was just knocked unconscious." After taking the pulse, she whispered.

Situ Ling glanced at the kidnappers again and saw that they were all drinking and chatting, not worried at all that they would run away.

Situ Ling thought: This is the best!

So she quickly took off the wristband on her wrist and opened it. What caught her eye were silver needles of various sizes, neatly placed.

This wristband is made very wide and Cuizhu made it according to Situ Ling's request.

Situ Ling took out a medium-sized needle and inserted the silver needle into the girl's body, and the girl slowly woke up.

After Situ Ling tied it up, he quickly put the things away and took them back to his hands without anyone noticing.

After putting it away, he saw the girl reaching out to touch the back of her neck and slowly opened her eyes.

She was startled when she saw Situ Ling in front of her: "You..."

As soon as she said a word, Situ Ling covered her mouth with her little hand. Situ Ling pointed to the kidnapper with her other finger for her to see. Finally, she took her hand back and put it to her lips to make a silent gesture.

.

The girl was extremely frightened when she saw the kidnapper. Her body was shaking non-stop. She looked at Situ Ling with watery eyes and nodded her head. She understood the meaning and would not say anything.

When Situ Ling saw that the girl agreed, she slowly took her little hand away from the girl's mouth.

Then he pointed his finger at the place where she sat at the beginning, stretched out two fingers and made a walking gesture, asking the girl to follow her there.

Because where Situ Ling was sitting there were a few rotten wooden boards separating him from the outside, it was easier for the two of them to communicate.

The girl nodded, trembling and slowly crawling over there with Situ Ling.

She crawled just a few steps away for a few minutes. Situ Ling rubbed his forehead helplessly and thought: This is the fear of a normal child after being kidnapped. It is abnormal for someone like her. It is abnormal in the first place, because she

It's adults, not children.

After the girl sat down, Situ Ling whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you." After saying that, he patted her back.

After listening to Situ Ling's words, the girl's fearful heart calmed down inexplicably and she was no longer so afraid.

Now she looked at Situ Ling seriously, with a slight smile on her chubby little face. Although it was a little dirty, it was not difficult to see how delicate this little face was. When she smiled, two small pear dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

Cute and endearing.

Situ Ling saw her staring at him, as if she was not as scared as before. He leaned over and whispered to her: "My name is Situ Ling, what is your name?"
