"So, you have to help me. My friend, to be honest with you, I just want to be with her. I want to go out with her for two days, but I'm afraid she won't agree. If you can accompany her,

, it can be regarded as uncle helping her solve the problem of not wanting to go out alone. More importantly, you and her can always say a few good words to uncle. In this way, uncle must be able to think about it when the time comes.

If things work out, you will definitely be the number one hero of our old Feng family. Besides, you can accompany her during the day and do your homework at night. Don’t worry, I’ll just go out for two days and it won’t delay your studies.”

Zhou Xiaolu laughed and decisively agreed to Feng Jianguo's request.

Things progressed more smoothly than expected, which made Feng Jianguo secretly happy. As long as Zhou Xiaolu was sold, the old Feng family's property would eventually be surnamed Feng.

More than three hours later, the motorcycle drove into Hushan County. There are mountains all over here, and it takes two trains to get to Grandpa Zhou Xiaolu's house.

By this time, it was already eight or nine o'clock at night, and Zhou Xiaolu was already so hungry that her chest pressed against her back.

Feng Jianguo parked his car in front of a shop on the roadside, and a woman immediately walked out.

Zhou Xiaolu, who was dazed and hungry, jumped off the motorcycle and looked up. Seeing the kind-faced and fashionable woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little more favorable. Then she glanced at Feng Jianguo, her eyes full of approval. She

He secretly praised Feng Jianguo for his good vision.

After Feng Jianguo briefly introduced the two of them, Liao Mei asked them to go in and eat quickly, saying that if they had anything to do, they could talk about it after dinner.

The cold wind was blowing in the mountains, and Zhou Xiaolu subconsciously tightened her coat.

"Xiaolu is on her monthly vacation and wants to go out for a few days. It's inconvenient for me, a grown man, to take her out. I would like to trouble you to take her out for a walk. What do you think?"

Feng Jianguo said this while eating.

Zhou Xiaolu secretly admired Uncle Jianguo for being such a good talker, and then gave him a meaningful look.

Liao Mei also looked at him with a deep look that said nothing, and agreed with great satisfaction.

Seeing how cheerful Liao Mei was, Zhou Xiaolu's eyes became more playful, scanning her and Feng Jianguo's bodies.

Feng Jianguo and Liao Mei also exchanged glances with uncontrollable surprise.

Finally, the three of them looked at each other and laughed with great satisfaction.

That night, Zhou Xiaolu stayed at the teahouse while Feng Jianguo drove away.

The next day, Zhou Xiaolu got up early to wash up, and was thinking about where her future aunt would go for a stroll. Liao Mei said: "Xiaolu, I have an uncle in Jinhua Mountain who I haven't seen for a long time. I wanted to go there before, but I never had time. This trip

I’ve been out for a few days, and it’s rare to go out again. Why don’t you accompany me to his place for a visit today, and then go out for a walk?”

Zhou Xiaolu did not doubt that he was there and agreed with a smile.

Only when Zhou Xiaolu arrived at Jinhua Mountain did she realize how difficult it was for Liao Mei to visit her uncle's house.

The two took two buses, had lunch on the way, and finally took a shabby minibus. They drove for a long time, and when they arrived at Jinhua Mountain, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Sister Mei, it's so deserted here." Zhou Xiaolu got out of the car and looked around. All she could see were overlapping mountains, but there were very few people.

"Why, are you afraid that I will sell you?" Liao Mei said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaolu laughed and said, "If you sell me here, I really won't be able to get out alone."

A strange arc formed at the corner of Liao Mei's mouth, and a smile that could not be concealed appeared from the corner of her mouth, but she pointed forward and said: "It's a little deserted here, but fortunately it's quiet. Look, that's me

Uncle’s house.”

Following the direction of her finger, Zhou Xiaolu saw a small tiled house standing alone on the hillside.

Looking at the mountain was exhausting. Looking at what was close and walking far away, the two of them walked along the winding mountain road for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the door of the house.

"Uncle, aunt, I am Meizi." Liao Mei patted the slightly worn wooden door and shouted loudly.

"Coming... coming." Several replies came from the house, and soon the wooden door creaked open, and an old couple came out.

The woman had a kind face, her hair was neatly combed, and her temples were gray. The man was thin and looked amiable. He stared at Zhou Xiaolu and asked, "Mei, who is this?"

"The sister of a friend of mine is going out with me for a few days. Before I go out, I will come with her to see you."

The uncle looked as if he suddenly understood, and quickly turned sideways and invited the two of them into the house.

Zhou Xiaolu never dreamed that what Liao Mei said would be the code word agreed between her and the old couple. Whenever she said "a friend's sister", it meant that she was using it to sell

.

"Sit, sit. I'll get some water." My aunt greeted the two of them very enthusiastically. Before turning around, she glanced at Zhou Xiaolu's face. After turning around, she gave the old man a very satisfied look.

The four of them sat in the main room and chatted for a while. Liu Mei's uncle said that he would go out for a while, but would come back for dinner.

Amid her aunt's greetings, Zhou Xiaolu felt that this damp, cold and drafty mountain village hut didn't seem so cold anymore.

When it was getting dark, my aunt took a piece of Tujia bacon and started cooking.

Smoke curled up from the mountains, and the sun secretly withdrew the last ray of dim light it cast on the world, quietly disappearing behind the mountains.

With the coming of darkness, my uncle brought back someone.

Zhou Xiaolu felt goosebumps all over her body just by looking at that person.

The man was about forty years old. His hair was fluffy and fluffy, like a bird's nest. It was actually reflective in the dim light. His nose hair protruded from his nostrils. His teeth were yellow and black. His clothes were in tatters.

You can smell the smell of pickled cabbage from a distance.

What's even more terrible is that the way he stared at Zhou Xiaolu looked up and down, revealing a strong and undisguised desire, like a hungry wolf carefully examining the little white rabbit who was about to enter her.

This man's eyes never left Zhou Xiaolu's body after entering the room.

Zhou Xiaolu had never seen such a man before, and was so frightened that she trembled from time to time.

The man moved a stool and sat next to her. He used his left index finger to press up and down on his philtrum to comb his nose hair. He swallowed from time to time and muttered something vaguely.

: "Okay, so... pretty."

Zhou Xiaolu wanted to cover her mouth and nose, but felt it was impolite to do so, so she could only exhale and inhale through her mouth as much as possible, barely avoiding the smell of pickled vegetables. As for whether the air she breathed in was clean, she

But I don’t care about that much anymore.

She was curious about who this man was and why he was here, but Liao Mei and her uncle both looked at her and the man with smiles, and neither of them opened their mouths to introduce them.

The man came over with a smile and asked a lot of questions, such as how old he was, where he lived, whether he had anyone to date, etc.

Zhou Xiaolu was extremely uncomfortable with it, but she still remained polite and answered him one by one.

The man laughed again as he listened, revealing a mouth full of dirty teeth, with red peppers and green vegetables in his tooth sockets. His laughter sounded like a crow, which was a bit scary.

Zhou Xiaolu was hiding away when her aunt came out with dishes and invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Zhou Xiaolu, as if she had been granted amnesty, jumped up with a "whoosh" sound and went to help with the dishes and chopsticks.

After dinner, which made her feel uncomfortable and tasteless, Zhou Xiaolu didn't want to see that man anymore, so she asked Liao Mei for help: "Sister Mei, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep."

Liao Mei glanced at her, then at the man, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the back room. If you're sleepy, go to bed early and accompany your sister out early tomorrow."

After lying on the bed, Zhou Xiaolu's mind was still full of that terrible man, and she couldn't get rid of it. Tossing and turning, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

She ate a lot of bacon at night, and not long after tossing and turning, she felt thirsty, so she got up and wanted to go outside to find some water.

But when he pushed the door open, he found that it was motionless. The door was actually locked.

"Okay, why do you need to lock the door?"

Zhou Xiaolu was about to shout for someone to open the door, but suddenly the man's eyes flashed in front of her as if he wanted to eat her. Zhou Xiaolu, who was about to become an adult, was not ignorant about the things between men and women. And then related to the current scene.

, a horrifying thought suddenly popped up in her mind, which scared her so much that she stopped shouting loudly.

"I may have been sold, and that man is the buyer. Sister Mei is responsible for finding someone, and the old couple is responsible for transferring the goods and contacting the next family."

In an instant, Zhou Xiaolu basically understood the relationship between the people outside the room.

"Uncle Jianguo and I may have been deceived by Liao Mei." The simple Zhou Xiaolu still believed in her Uncle Jianguo.

"Be calm, making a scene will only be counterproductive."

Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly said to herself, and then remembered the words her grandfather often taught her: "When encountering problems, use ideas and wisdom."

"Use ideas, wisdom, outsmart... How can we escape from here? The three of them and I alone are definitely no match. Even if we leave this house, we don't know the way. If we want to get out, we just have to

If they can take me out, which of them will take me out? Why should they take me out? Why should they take me out?"

Not only did Zhou Xiaolu's mind start to spin, she also kept walking around in this small room.

Slowly, she thought of a way. Although she didn't know if it would work, she could only take a gamble.

With the idea ready to try, Zhou Xiaolu became less and less panicked. Looking around the small room again, she found that there was an inconspicuous small door in the corner. When she opened it, she saw that it was a small storage room.

, which is filled with winter clothing.

Leaning in, I found that the storage room was a dead end, not to mention an exit, and there wasn't even a window for ventilation.

"I have no choice but to take risks and try my luck."

Zhou Xiaolu sighed secretly, but at this moment, she vaguely heard the conversation coming from the other side of the wall.
