Old trees with withered vines and geese fly south.

From late autumn to early winter, the orchards in the deep mountains have already produced fruitful fruits.

Yun Xiaotang, who came back from class in the morning, went to the mountains with her sister to pick oranges as soon as she finished lunch.

After walking for a long mountain road, I finally arrived at the orchard.

At first glance, there are a large orange tree with orange fruits hanging on it, a scene of harvest.

Yun Xiaotang followed her sister quickly walked up to the orange forest. The air seemed to have the fragrance of oranges floating out, refreshing the heart.

There are one or two fruits, and there are still bird beak marks on the surface of the peel that are pecked by birds.

This orange is so fragrant that even the birds are going to peck.

The two sisters shuttled between the orange trees, picking oranges.

Soon, they picked two large bamboo baskets of oranges, then went down the mountain road, preparing to go to the town.

However, when they were about to reach the back mountain, they did not follow the road behind mountain.

The road in the back mountain leads to the village. Now there are more and more people in the village, unlike before.

It was so eye-catching that I walked past the village with a bamboo basket on my back.

So, they went down the mountain along another road.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I was a distance from the main road.

They walked along the path for a while before they walked back to the main road.

When they arrived at Moutong Town, the two sisters went to the yard where Wu Qiang worked on weekdays.

As soon as he entered, he saw Wu Qiang who was shaved with a clean beard, Zhao Xueer couldn't help laughing.

This is the first time I saw Uncle Wu’s appearance without a beard, which is a world of difference from his previous image.

Who would have thought that after seeing the shrewd and fierce Wu Qiang lose his beard, his face looked like a gentle scholar.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he completely destroyed the scholarly anger, making people suspect that it was just an illusion just now.

"Oh, Xue'er girl, Chuner girl, what wind has blown you?"

Yun Xiaotang was embarrassed and thought to herself that it was the wind of making money that brought them.

"Uncle Wu, look at this orange, this orange looks much better than in previous years."

Zhao Xueer pointed to the oranges in the bamboo basket and said.

There is a lot of rain today, and oranges are growing well.

Wu Qiang picked up an orange and looked at it. It was indeed. The orange was large in size and had a good appearance, without any floral skin.

Then, he broke the oranges and started eating them.

It has a little sour taste, but it is more sweet. It can be said that it is ninety-six and one more sour, which is very refreshing.

"It's not bad, how many cents can you sell this orange this year?"

*

After selling the oranges and coming out of the yard, Zhao Xueer took her sister to buy things.

Now, if you don’t have to worry about whether to eat or not, Wu Qiang basically stops trading grains, and instead starts buying and selling large items, including radios, watches, and even TVs.

However, if you want to buy a TV, you have to pay a deposit first and wait for a month before you can buy it.

It was also through a friendship that Wu Qiang became an intermediary and helped sell the oranges to the canning factory.

This canned factory always has oranges to make canned fruits.

This canned fruit is also the cheapest among canned foods, not as good as canned meat and fish, but it is because of the cheapest people buy the most.

Before leaving the yard, Wu Qiang called them, "Be careful on the way back. Recently, there are kidnappeds in this area. There are several children from this town, but there are many families who have lost them."

He paused and looked at Yun Xiaotang again, "And the missing are all half-large beautiful girls."

At that time, when Zhao Xueer heard this, she became alert like a cat with a hair blown.

Those who make beautiful girls are most likely to sell them to more remote mountain villages and serve as child brides for others.

......

She held her sister's hand all the way to the grain shop.

The entrance of the grain shop was crowded with people, all of whom came to buy food, and they pushed me and quickly dispersed their hands.

Zhao Xueer glanced at her sister who was squeezed outside by the crowd. Thinking that there were too many people at this time and that it was not a remote corner in public, she let go of half of her heart.

After looking at her sister for a few glances, she turned her head and went to buy food.

Yun Xiaotang was surprised when there were so many people coming from, but they came to buy food in a few days.

She was pushed around and couldn't stand her body, and she thought of various stampedes for a moment.

When she finally stood firm, she was squeezed into the alley opposite the grain store.

As soon as she stood firm, someone suddenly covered her face with a veil from behind, and reached out to stop her violently struggling body.

The strong and irritating smell on the veil penetrated her mouth and nose, and then she fainted.

The strong woman holding a veil covering Yun Xiaotang's face then put the veil away, asked the man to put the girl on her back, and quickly left.

Everything that happened in the alley was too sudden and swift, and the people who were clamoring to buy food did not notice it at all.

The two kidnappers were a middle-aged man and woman. They took Yun Xiaotang and pretended to be a family of three, walking on the street very boldly.

"Hey, why is this Erya asleep again? This lazy girl?"

The middle-aged man walked beside the middle-aged woman, smiling at Yun Xiaotang, who fainted, and said.

Yun Xiaotang lay on the middle-aged woman, with most of her face blocked.

Otherwise, just by comparing her appearance, it would be easy to make people suspicious if they compare the appearance of this middle-aged man and woman.

But at this moment, no one could see her face.

Looking like an ordinary family of three, it really doesn't make people pay attention.

*

Zhao Xueer finally bought the food, but when she came out, she only saw two bamboo baskets, but didn't see her sister.

Her face turned pale and her hands trembled.

No, my sister might have gone to another shop.

She didn't dare to think about the worst possible.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like a knife is cutting her heart.

She overlapped the bamboo basket and started looking for her sister in panic.

"Have you seen a girl with two braids, probably so tall, very well-behaved and cute, looking thirteen or fourteen years old..."

She first searched all the shops around her, and then went back to the grain store to ask someone who was still waiting to buy food.

I told my sister about her appearance and what color of clothes she was wearing.

Finally someone remembered one thing, "Oh, that little girl, I was squeezed outside before, and I didn't pay attention to the others. Let go, don't delay me from buying food."

Zhao Xueer then let go of the man's sleeves and looked around the environment around the grain shop, and finally found the alley opposite.

The alley was quite narrow, with trees blocking the entrance of the alley. The alley was dark and dull, and the sun was blocked by the houses on both sides.

Zhao Xueer walked into the alley, stopped after walking a few steps, squatted down and picked up a flower in front of her feet.

This is the head flower my sister tied to her braid this morning.

She pinched the flower on her head and took a step back, feeling that she was about to fall to the ground at any time, with a strong sadness covering her.

But in just a moment, she walked out along the alley and appeared on the street again.

There is no other way, so this crook must have come out of this alley, and this is the street, and someone will definitely see them.
