Fang Shuwen slowed his pace and followed far behind the young man.
Having the talent of serpentine form, one can control it even without conscious effort.
Fang Shuwen also felt that he was deliberately walking very lightly in his home, and now he was deliberately controlling it so that it almost felt like he was landing without leaving a trace.
Unless you look back, you won't even realize someone is following you.
The young man walked very fast, deliberately choosing to go through secluded alleys, twisting and turning as he went.
Before long, another alleyway appeared.
At this moment, the young man pushed a cart out.
There were two burlap sacks on the vehicle, and it looked like people had been put inside them.
"Judging by his posture, is this kid planning to leave the city?"
Fang Shuwen followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, always maintaining a distance of about twenty paces.
People occasionally passed by in the alley, but no one gave them a second glance.
This year,
It's not uncommon to see a man pushing a cart.
Nobody would meddle, and nobody dared to.
Nobody wants to cause trouble.
......
After walking for about 15 minutes, the surrounding houses became increasingly sparse.
The bluestone path has been replaced by a gravel path, and weeds and bushes have begun to appear along the roadside.
Fang Shuwen recognized it; this was the direction heading towards the western suburbs of Xikou.
The western suburbs are adjacent to the lower reaches of the Qingshui River, where the river makes a bend, forming a small river bend.
There used to be a few fishermen living there, but later it was said that the river was haunted by water ghosts.
The police came several times, but they didn't find anything out.
The fishermen had no choice but to move away.
A few dilapidated wooden houses and some crooked dock piles remain in the river bend.
"Why bring people here?"
Fang Shuwen crouched down and peeked out from the bushes on the slope.
Sure enough, there was a cart parked at the bend in the river, with two dirty burlap sacks on it.
Two other people were standing next to the cart.
A tall, thin man wearing a gray cloth short jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing two lean arms covered in blue tattoos.
The other was short and stocky, shirtless, with dark chest hair peeking out from his collar, and a short knife tucked into his waistband.
"Hey, Li Tong, you're really ruthless, aren't you? Isn't this your girlfriend? How could you bear to sell her off?"
The tall, thin man came over, opened one of the burlap sacks, patted the schoolgirl's face, and grinned.
"She's still a virgin, you know the rules! If she's not a virgin, the price will be reduced."
When the tall, thin man asked him this question, a hint of unease flashed across Li Tong's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
He turned his head away, laughing, and said, "Hey, this one wants me to marry her, but won't let me sleep with her. So troublesome. That's why I sent her to you, saving you the trouble."
"hehe?"
The tall, thin man withdrew his hand from his face, wiped it on his trouser leg, and pulled out an oil paper package from his pocket, weighing it in his hand.
"Same as always, fifty yuan for two people, please count carefully."
Li Tong took the oil paper package, tore open a corner, and the silver coin gleamed in the twilight.
I counted them carefully, and the numbers matched.
Silver dollars were also the common currency issued by the Great Xin Yan Kingdom a couple of years ago, and they contained a sufficient amount of silver.
However, he didn't leave, but looked at the other person with a big smile:
"Brother Tiger, could you add some more?"
"This is my girlfriend. She's a top student at a public high school and she's still a virgin."
Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man known as Tiger's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice:
"Hmph, girlfriend? Every single one of these women you sent here is your girlfriend! Stop talking nonsense and tell me!"
"Add more money! Just give me another ten yuan!" Li Tong chuckled.
Upon hearing this,
Tiger's smile slowly faded, and he narrowed his eyes as he sized up Li Tong.
"More money?"
"Li Tong, are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"
Li Tong's smile froze on his face as he felt a fierce aura rushing towards him. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he unconsciously took a half-step back.
"Tiger... Brother Tiger, I was just saying, please don't be angry. This girl is really good quality; if you resell her in Shenghai, you can easily double your money..."
"Double?"
Tiger suddenly laughed, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth.
He took a step forward and reached out to pat Li Tong's face.
The force was neither too light nor too heavy, but each slap made a loud cracking sound, causing Li Tong's head to tilt to the side.
"Even if it doubles, it's still my money. What's it to you? We agreed on a price of twenty-five per person. It was a mutually agreeable deal, and now you're trying to rip me off?"
Li Tong's face stung from the slap, but he dared not dodge and had to force a smile onto his face.
"Brother Tiger, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Just do it the way it was originally..."
"It's too late."
Tiger withdrew his hand, took out a dagger from his waist, and twirled it in his hand.
"What I hate most is insatiable greed. There are brothels in Shenghai too. You're a good-looking guy, you should fetch a good price!"
Li Tong's lips trembled twice, as if he wanted to say something, but his legs started shaking.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the short, stocky man next to him put his hand on the hilt of his knife, and he immediately swallowed all his words.
He quickly admitted defeat and begged for mercy:
"Brother Tiger, please don't mind me, I misspoke. I have another good one here, my new girlfriend Cui Cui, she's a top student in the elite class of a public high school."
"She's beautiful, and not even seventeen yet. If you let me go this time, I'll bring her to you."
His voice was trembling, and the forced smile on his face looked worse than a grimace.
"The elite class? Okay, that's more like it. Get lost."
Li Tong felt as if he had been granted a pardon, turned around and ran, his shoes making a crackling sound as they stepped on the gravel road.
The kid was probably scared too. He almost tripped over a tree root after running a few steps. He staggered for a moment and then disappeared at the end of the path without looking back.
Fang Shuwen lay hidden behind the bushes and watched the whole scene from beginning to end.
His serpentine talent made his breathing extremely shallow and light, almost blending him into the surrounding vegetation.
He could even feel every hair on his face trembling slightly as the evening breeze brushed against his cheeks.
It seems that this talent not only enhanced the power of his fist techniques, but also changed his five senses and body.
"Cui Cui's boyfriend is actually a human trafficker!"
"Tsk tsk, I thought she'd fallen for a scoundrel, but it turns out she's a con artist!"
"To save his own life, he actually planned to sell her."
Li Tong is good-looking, and although he's dressed plainly, he must be a seasoned womanizer.
Therefore, a naive young girl like Cui Cui is easily fooled.
That's how they got scammed.
"There are only two people left. Judging from their appearance, they should have a lot of money on them."
Fang Shuwen's gaze swept back and forth between Tiger Brother and the short, stocky man several times, his mind wavering, unable to settle his opinion.
Judging from their appearance, the two people must have practiced martial arts, but their specific level of skill could not be determined due to the distance.
But he is definitely not a Ming Jin martial arts master.
At most, there will be three cracking sounds.
If neither of them has a gun, it's not impossible to take them down!
Should we leave?
To stay or to leave?
Fang Shuwen's right hand unconsciously grasped a blade of grass.
His gaze fell on the bulging money bag at Tiger's waist.
The oil paper package that Li Tong just returned was the one that Tiger Brother stuffed into that money bag.
The bag was bulging and full, containing at least a hundred or eighty silver dollars.
If he succeeds, it will greatly alleviate his current financial strain.
"Damn it! Let's do this!"
