Chapter 538 - 534: Finally Escaped (Part 1)
Yuanbao naturally called out "Dad" again in a sweet voice.Wang the blacksmith was delighted and directly untied Yuanbao’s rope, and Little Zhi’s rope was untied as well.
Little Zhi pouted, about to curse Wang the blacksmith, but Yuanbao covered her mouth.
"Little Zhi, you promised to listen to Brother Yuanbao, no talking!" Yuanbao whispered.
Although Little Zhi wanted to cry, she held back.
Mrs. Zhou made a bunch of delicious food, and upon returning and seeing Wang the blacksmith had untied both children, she was about to ask questions when Wang the blacksmith spoke: "Old wife, from today on, we have two kids, Yuanbao and Little Zhi!"
"Yuanbao, Little Zhi, call mother quickly!"
"Mother~" Yuanbao said sweetly.
Little Zhi was unwilling to speak, she covered her mouth and shook her head desperately.
"Dad, Mom, my sister is still young and doesn’t understand. I’ll be filial to you in the future, Yuanbao is really hungry..."
While speaking, Yuanbao’s eyes were fixed on the dishes Mrs. Zhou was holding.
The little bit of resentment in Mrs. Zhou’s heart was completely melted by Yuanbao’s call of "Mother." At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time when she had just given birth to her son, Little Jiang.
"Come, come, mother has prepared food for you. Yuan...bao, Little Zhi, wait for me a bit, I’ll go fry some eggs for you, and after eating, I’ll get water for you to bathe."
Mrs. Zhou had not experienced the joy of having children give her company for too many years, and now her tears flowed continuously out of emotion.
Yuanbao pulled Little Zhi to the dining table, constantly placing various dishes into Little Zhi’s bowl, fearing she would go hungry.
After not eating all day, the two kids didn’t care about appearances and ate frantically.
Mrs. Zhou and Wang the blacksmith kept their eyes on the two little ones.

Dark night, wind high
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng arrived at the human traffickers’ spot, which was essentially an abandoned house, about a thirty-minute walk from Tie Dao Village.
The abandoned house was brightly lit at the moment.
Just selling Chen Hong and the two little ones had earned thirty taels of silver.
Wang San bought Chen Hong for twenty-five taels of silver, but the traffickers took most of it, only giving the Wang Family’s elders ten taels.
In the center of the abandoned house, a row of meat and wine was set up, several human traffickers were eating meat and drinking wine, quite happily.
"Big brother, this business is really worth it, feasting off both ends; it’s just that Chen Hong, that coquettish woman, we brothers haven’t enjoyed her."
The underling said indistinctly while chewing meat.
"Enough, stop thinking about such matters. That woman had so many lovers; who knows if she’s got any venereal diseases or something."
The human trafficker shouted loudly, and a few underlings instantly quieted down.
They didn’t think about Chen Hong anymore, everyone continued eating and drinking.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were eavesdropping outside, gathering that Chen Hong was sold, but there was no clear information on Little Zhi and Yuanbao.
"Shuangshuang, should we rush in, or wait a bit?" Lu Yuanfeng whispered.
"Wait a bit, it looks like they’ll be drinking for a while. Let’s go in when they’re mostly done."
Mu Shuangshuang’s reason for waiting outside was firstly not knowing the situation inside; rushing in on impulse might lead to someone escaping and possibly endangering Little Zhi and Yuanbao.
The second reason was that who drank a lot would eventually need to relieve themselves, and they could capture someone then for interrogation.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng lay on the grass, carefully observing the movement inside the house.
By late September, the weather was getting increasingly cold.
Mu Shuangshuang lay on the ground, feeling the chill rising gradually from the earth, wondering if perhaps her clothes were too thin, anyway it was cold!
Just having such thoughts, Lu Yuanfeng took off his coat and handed it to Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang naturally refused; Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes were much too large and might be a hindrance when fighting later.
Additionally, she feared Lu Yuanfeng would catch a cold in such weather.
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang refused, Lu Yuanfeng effortlessly pulled her into his embrace, Mu Shuangshuang’s face blushed instantly, comparable to a monkey’s red behind.
The smell on Lu Yuanfeng’s body was at her nose, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt not cold anymore.
The two people stayed close like this, after a while, indeed someone came out to relieve themselves, choosing the exact spot where Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were hiding.
The man, just as he was undoing his pants facing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, was covered in the mouth by Lu Yuanfeng; they dragged him further away.
Luckily tonight there was no moonlight, the starry sky was utterly dim, so the man didn’t see Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s faces clearly.
Once they reached a safe area, Mu Shuangshuang stepped on the man’s stomach and asked, "Did you sell two kids today, one boy and one girl?"
At first, the man said nothing, but after Lu Yuanfeng gave him a punch, he became compliant immediately.
"Please spare me, Hero... we did sell two kids, but it was our boss who ordered it, we are not sure..."
"Still dare to lie?" Mu Shuangshuang slapped the man across the face, the sound loud, leaving him stunned.
"Speak, where were those kids sold?" Mu Shuangshuang pressed him.
"I... I don’t know!"
The man was too terrified to tell the truth since the two people before him were truly fierce, attacking without saying a word.
"Fengzi, dislocate his jaw for me. Useless if all he does is lie!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s hand held the man’s jaw, with just a bit of force, his jaw could dislocate.
Finally, the man knew fear.
Crying out, he said, "Tie Dao Village, Wang the blacksmith’s house..."
Mu Shuangshuang then knocked him out and tied him under a tree.
Right now, their urgent priority was to find Yuanbao and Little Zhi, as for these human traffickers, they could come back to deal with them later.
At Old Wang Family, Yuanbao and Little Zhi weren’t asleep, accurately speaking, Yuanbao was waiting for an opportunity to escape, Little Zhi was scared.
The two lay on the kang at Wang the blacksmith’s house, the kang having been heated during the night, was warm.
Wang the blacksmith and Mrs. Zhou slept on either end, but both had tacitly placed the two children between them.
The night grew darker, Yuanbao didn’t know what time it was, nor whether Wang the blacksmith and Mrs. Zhou were asleep.
So he whispered, "Dad, Mom, Yuanbao needs to pee..."
Wang the blacksmith and Mrs. Zhou didn’t react.
They were indeed exhausted from the day, and Yuanbao had made them so happy in the evening, as if their son was alive again.
At first, they were cautious but were now fast asleep.
"Little Zhi, accompany me to pee, I’m scared!" Yuanbao nudged Little Zhi’s body.
Little Zhi followed and crawled off the kang.
The two children were cautious.
Yuanbao didn’t really expect to escape, so he kept talking, and if caught, they would claim they were just answering nature’s call.
Using this method, they ran out of the yard.
Once outside, Yuanbao grabbed Little Zhi’s hand and they sprinted...
