Chapter 41: Courage in Righteousness (Part 1)
When Sun Tu and his wife finished the play and came out to beat the Sang family's Wazi, it was time to declare the card, and they planned to go back to the store.
After walking for a while, Ya'er suddenly said in confusion: "Third brother, I always feel that this road is familiar. I seem to have been here before..."
"Is there such a thing?" Sun Tu felt a little strange when he heard it. Could it be that Yaer was possessed? But then, he remembered the conversation he heard in the restaurant yesterday, and at the same time, he remembered some details when Yaer was adopted by her family many years ago.
Sun Tu was only seven or eight years old at that time, but Ya'er was only four or five years old, and she was still a child who didn't remember much. She was sold to her parents by a middle-aged woman dressed up in a shabby dress. When she left, the other party was only happy but not sad. He might not see anything at that time, but now looking back, there is a problem. Who would be so happy to sell her children? The only explanation is that Ya'er is actually not her flesh and blood.
Thinking of the various statements about trafficking of women and children that he heard yesterday, Sun Tu couldn't help but guess that Ya'er was the victim of trafficking. If her memory was indeed good, maybe she was still a person in Tokyo. She had visited the Sang family Wazi when she was very young and had a deep impression of it!
"Ya'er, if you really are from Tokyo and have family members, would you be willing to go back to find them?" Sun Tu asked this question after a brief explanation. After saying that, he looked at the girl next to him nervously.
Ya'er didn't expect that her casual words would lead Sun Tu to such a conclusion, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Third Brother, are you going to ignore Ya'er? I'm the only relative, if you don't want me..." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Sun Tu felt relieved, and quickly reached out and touched her hair and said, "Ya'er, why do you want you? That's all I said, maybe you are from a wealthy family."
"No matter how rich a family is, they are not as good as the third brother. As long as I can be by my side, I will be satisfied and will not go anywhere else." Ya'er answered firmly, and looked at Sun Tu again, waiting for his response.
"Okay, we have always been together. No matter who you were before, you are my Yaer, today or in the future." Sun Tu hurriedly expressed his opinion, which was the smile of Yaer, which made her happy again.
As they walked along this way, the two of them quickly arrived near the rented inn. At this time, the sky was getting darker and the pedestrians on the road were also slightly faster. A man carrying a child next to him bumped into Sun Tu's side in order to dodge the oncoming carriage, causing something to fall from his arms.
Sun Tu quickly stopped and smiled at the thin man, saying, "Are you okay?" As he said that, he bent down to pick up the things on the ground for him and return them.
"It's okay." The man reacted quickly. As he spoke, he immediately bent down and reached out, and picked up the fallen object in front of Sun Tu. There was even a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
Sun Tu didn't think about it much at the time. Seeing this, he just smiled and stood up and wanted to continue moving forward. But after only two steps, his heart moved, and this person looked a little strange!
Generally speaking, when an adult carries a child and collides with someone, his first reaction is to check the child's situation. Why does this person care more about the things that fall on the ground? Moreover, this person's clothes are very ordinary and old, but the child carries a high-quality silk clothes on his back, and the identity difference is huge!
If the other party was a slave who brought the young master out of the family, his reaction just now would be even more wrong. If he really hurt his master, he would not be able to afford it!
Suspicion was a little while, Sun Tu quickly turned around and saw that the man was ignoring the child on his back because he was anxious to stuff the thing into his arms. He was shaking softly on it, and it didn't look like he was asleep no matter how he looked. In addition, the handkerchief raised a corner, allowing Sun Tu to see clearly that there was a golden lock inside.
This person is very strange, probably he is a kidnapped! Sun Tu had already made a quick judgment in his heart, and quickly pulled Ya'er and pointed to the inn in front of him: "Ya'er, go back first, I'll go back later."
Seeing that he looked solemn, Ya'er nodded obediently without asking why, and walked into the store. After Sun Tu saw her safely entering the store, he turned around and took a few steps to chase the man just now.
In order not to attract other people's attention, the man did not speed up, and Sun Tu caught up in a few steps. He didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and stopped him and shouted, "Slow down!"
The man suddenly stopped Sun Tu, and he looked at him panic, then quickly calmed down: "What are you doing?"
"I see you are a little weird, this kid..." Before Sun Tu could speak, the man started calling out: "I see you are weird. I'm rushing on the way, but just because I've had a little bit of a fight with you, can you just want to cheat people? This is Tokyo Bianliang, don't think about doing anything randomly."
This made many pedestrians around him stop and looked at him curiously. Seeing this, the man quickly said, "Dear fellow villagers, I am just in a hurry to send the young master to the doctor. He is so entangled, he is really lawless."
Just as everyone pointed at Sun Tu, he sneered: "I can't see it, right? You said that your young master is on your back? I look like a kidnapped by you!"
"You... you slander! How could I do such a thing as a person of duty?" After Sun Tu said this, he became even more guilty and anxious and shouted in a hurry: "You kid are so rude. Do you still have to frame people if you can't cheat people?"
"Are I framed you? Just take a closer look and you will know. Please look at the child on his back. He is obviously asleep, otherwise why there is no movement at all?" Sun Tu did not get into trouble with him, and immediately pointed to his arms and said, "Also, you have this child's golden lock hidden here. Why do you, a servant, take away the things of your young master?"
When everyone, who were a little confused, heard Sun Tu's statement and looked carefully at the soft and unsupported appearance of the child on his back, they all showed suspicion: "Who is you guy? Is this child from your family? If it can't be explained clearly, don't think about leaving today!" As they spoke, many people rolled up their sleeves and surrounded them.
During this period, several cases of children being kidnapped in Tokyo have occurred, and they are still clueless. Even though this has nothing to do with them, ordinary people hate it. Now that they have found someone on the street, they may be the kidnapper who plundered children, how can everyone give up?
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the man was even more panicked. A fierce light flashed in his eyes and shouted: "You guys don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will be careful to hurt you!" As he said that, he had already taken out a knife from his sleeve and waved it to hurt people.
His performance naturally completely confirmed that he was indeed a kidnapper, but when everyone around him saw that he was fierce, the knife was still shining with cold light, he hid back with fear.
Sun Tu was not afraid at all. He just smiled disdainfully, and had already taken two steps forward, forcing the other party: "At this point, I advise you to give up your child and surrender, otherwise you won't have the best results."
"Boy is looking for death!" The kidnapper was completely angry and didn't care about anything else. He immediately swung his knife to stab Sun Tu's chest, causing people around him to exclaim. Some even covered their eyes and couldn't bear to see a brave boy who was injured in the hands of the criminal.
But then, they heard a scream, but it was not from the unarmed boy, but the kidnapper. At some point, the boy actually had a small stick in his hand, and knocked it on the kidnapper's wrist, and even knocked his knife to the ground. At the same time, Sun Tu had already snatched the man's arms and hit his lower abdomen with a knee. When the other party bowed, he quickly grabbed the child still on his back into his arms.
