The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Stand tall and see far.

Standing atop a tall tree, Su Qianqian could see several miles away, and to the northwest, she could see a large area of ​​lights, which was likely Qinghe County.

Even if it's not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, that's a place where humans live in groups, so it should be safe once we get there.

The wild is too dangerous. The smell of wild goat blood might attract other ferocious beasts. If you encounter a jackal, tiger, or leopard, you'll lose your life.

Besides, she had a child with her, so she had to leave this dangerous place immediately.

Meng Baozhu watched as Sister Su's slender fingers deftly and nimbly untied the belt binding her waist. It seemed like the most beautiful movement in the world, and she couldn't get enough of watching it.

Su Qianqian slid down the tree while holding Baozhu.

"Baozhu, let's hurry on our way while there are no wild animals around."

"Okay, Sister Su, I'll do whatever you say."

Su Qianqian could already guess what the little girl would say. The spoiled girl always answered like this, giving off a very obedient feeling.

In my previous life, I was an orphan and longed for a well-behaved and obedient younger sister. This time, after transmigrating, that wish has finally come true.

As Su Qianqian left the cypress tree, she quietly turned around and put the dead goat into her spatial storage.

It just died, it's still very fresh. The original owner's family was very poor, so poor that they were almost unable to survive.

Therefore, this white goat is definitely a good thing for the original owner's family. When the original owner's parents see this white goat, they will be very surprised and delighted.

The two continued their journey under the moonlight.

Meng Baozhu's delicate, chubby feet quickly developed blisters, which hurt terribly, but she dared not rest and kept walking forward, dragging her tired body.

The little girl gritted her teeth, determined to persevere to the end and not be a burden to her older sister, Su.

Meng Baozhu relied on her willpower to keep going, walking for a very long time, but she could not see any lights or hope.

Fortunately, she had Sister Su by her side, who was her guiding light.

"Sister Su, what do you like the most?"

"Huh? Oh, I like money the most."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a silver peanut was shoved into his hand.

"Sister, I left in a hurry today and only took one silver peanut with me."

The human traffickers originally planned to search the girls only after returning to their hideout, so neither Su Qianqian's gourd-shaped pendant nor Meng Baozhu's valuables were missing.

"Oh, that's fine too, thank you, Baozhu."

Meng Baozhu was a pampered young lady who rarely left her home, and walking this far today was already her limit.

She soon tripped over a blue stone and fainted.

Su Qianqian checked Meng Baozhu's head and found that it was just a minor scrape, nothing serious.

She fainted probably because she was exhausted.

Su Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to pretend in front of the little girl anymore. As long as she threw the person into her space, she could speed up their progress and enter Qinghe County sooner, so that Baozhu would suffer less.

She tore a strip of white cloth from Baozhu's inner garment and used it to bandage Meng Baozhu's injured head before putting her into her spatial storage.

The person traveled much faster than before.

When the moon reached its zenith, it finally arrived at the majestic city gate.

Above the city gate were three large characters: Qinghe County.

Traditional Chinese characters, from right to left, require some recognition and some guesswork.

This new body was still too weak; its legs felt like they were filled with lead, and were extremely heavy. Fortunately, it was finally able to enter the city.

Su Qianqian knocked on the city gate, and two soldiers, one tall and one short, came out.

She briefly told the officers and soldiers about the human traffickers, hoping they could catch the damned traffickers.

"...My lords, I'm entrusting the matter of the human traffickers to you."

But the tall soldiers didn't even look in her direction, treating her as if she were invisible.

The shorter officer, however, was very meticulous and ignored the word "human traffickers," only emphasizing: "Entering the city requires paying a head fee, one coin per person during the day and 100 coins per person at night."

Su Qianqian: These soldiers are really heartless. They increased the number of soldiers at night by a hundred times compared to during the day.

The sound of the night watchman's gong came from inside the city. Although I couldn't tell what time it was, it was almost dawn, and I had to get into the city as soon as possible.

With great reluctance, Su Qianqian took out the silver peanut and handed it to the soldiers.

This was given to me by Meng Baozhu. I treasured it and wanted to take it home and spend it slowly, but I handed it over before I could even enjoy it.

The short soldier weighed the silver peanut in his hand, then put it in his mouth and bit it, leaving a row of teeth marks.

Su Qianqian looked up at the sky. The full moon was so bright that even the teeth marks were clearly visible.

The money was too much; the silver peanuts would have cost more than a hundred coins, but the short soldier showed no intention of giving change.

If they don't want change, fine. The most important thing right now is to raid the human traffickers' headquarters and catch those heartless traffickers.

Su Qianqian spoke up again to remind him, "Sir, about the human traffickers..."

The short soldier was very impatient. "We are only responsible for guarding the city gate. Other matters are none of our concern."

Su Qianqian sighed: This short soldier is not responsible at all. I should have put the silver peanut in cow dung to fumigate it before giving it to him, so that he could taste the "sweet" flavor of cow dung.

She said to the short soldier, "You'll regret this."

The human trafficker leader who was previously killed by stone seemed to claim to be a criminal on some imperial wanted list. If this short soldier had notified others to chase after the human trafficker earlier, he might have been able to steal some credit.

The short soldier rolled his eyes silently. "Tch, what a regret! I just got a silver peanut, I'm overjoyed."

The short man thought he was a good person, just a little greedy. When he encountered bad people, they wanted both money and women. He would never let go of a woman easily.

Not long after Su Qianqian left the city gate, a woman in her thirties ran over.

The woman's hair was wrapped in a dark blue handkerchief, and because she was running in such a hurry, half of her hair had fallen down, and she had also lost one of her embroidered shoes.

The woman rushed to the short soldier, her voice trembling with tears, "Amu, something terrible has happened! Your sister Shuixiang has gone missing! I thought she went to your maternal grandparents' house, but they said she didn't. And I heard that several families in the city have lost their daughters, and everyone says they were kidnapped by human traffickers. What are we going to do?!"

The short soldier called Amu collapsed to the ground. Oh no, the little girl was right. She said he would regret it, and he really did.

Could it be that the little girl has precognitive abilities?

Good heavens, karma has struck so quickly; the human traffickers have taken his own sister away.

Unfortunately, I was so focused on collecting the money that I didn't hear what the girl said clearly. I think I heard her say the words "human trafficker".

Amu was filled with resentment, hating himself for being selfish and indifferent to matters that didn't concern him.

He abandoned his duty to guard the city gate, grabbed the woman, and ran.

"Mother, hurry up! I know a girl who can provide us with clues. Let's take her to Officer Lin. Officer Lin is not only upright but also very capable. He will definitely be able to rescue my sister."

The short soldier ran while looking around, trying to find Su Qianqian.

Unfortunately, there were too many people on the street, and it was impossible to tell which direction Su Qianqian went.

It's already past midnight. Usually at this time, Qinghe County would be under curfew and very quiet, but tonight is different.

It's especially lively tonight.

As Su Qianqian walked along, she found many people carrying lanterns, searching for someone.

As she walked, she listened carefully to the discussions of the people around her.

"I heard that the Deadly Flying Knife Li sent a provocative letter to the government a few days ago, saying that he wanted to abduct pretty young girls from our county, but the government didn't take it seriously."

"What a tragedy! Several young girls have indeed gone missing tonight. I hope they all survive."

"Alas, it's difficult. I'm afraid the chances of survival are slim. In the past, many young girls would go missing every month, and we've never found them."

"Yes, not only in our Qinghe County, but also in the prefecture and the capital, young women often go missing. I heard that the master of the deadly flying knife, Li, is incredibly skilled. He is not only good at disguise and hiding, but also has an unparalleled talent for throwing darts."

"Whoever can kill that scourge Li Laotian, I'm willing to burn incense and pray to Buddha every day to bless him with a long life."

Su Qianqian thought to herself: Uh, is Boss Li really that powerful? But it doesn't seem like he is. He killed him with just one rock. It seems pretty easy.

An old man carrying a lantern walked with faltering steps, looking around as he searched. His voice was hoarse as he cried, "Daughter, where are you? I was wrong. I will never force you to marry again. I just want you to be safe and sound. God bless me, please let me find you, God bless me—"

Su Qianqian had a gut feeling that one of the girls hidden in the space was probably the person the old man was looking for, but she couldn't move the person out of the space in front of him right now.

There are too many people on the street, and so many eyes are watching. The matter of the space must not be exposed, lest it be coveted by others.

It's okay to be a good person, but you can't be a saint without any principles or bottom line.
