Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 109: Kidnapped

"Let’s go!"

Second Uncle Gu couldn’t sit still any longer.

Mr. Gu remained silent, and nobody else dared to interfere. This wasn’t their own son, after all. When people respected you, you were an elder, but now that they ignored you, you were nothing.

Who doesn’t understand that?

They’re not three-year-old children.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu also stood up to leave.

There was still a little baby lying on the kang at home.

Though a neighbor had been asked to look after the baby, they needed to be taken back.

Everyone left suddenly.

Gu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a moment to breathe.

Gu Xiaojie had long vanished.

When the family was arguing so fiercely just now, he was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei sat down and took a sip of water.

Finally sent them off.

What a day.

Not even half an hour later, someone rushed in from outside.

"Xuemei, Xuemei, have you seen my Zhang Zijie?"

It was Aunt Zhang from Brother Zhang’s family next door.

Li Xuemei quickly went out, saying, "No, I haven’t. My Xiaojie isn’t here either. The two should be together."

Aunt Zhang wiped her sweat and said, "My brother came over, and he bought Zhang Zijie a set of clothes. I’m just trying to find him to come back."

Li Xuemei laughed and said, "Let Xiaoqing go look for them. They’re definitely hiding somewhere playing."

She turned and said to Gu Xiaoqing, "Quick, go find your brother and Zhang Zijie, and bring them back."

Gu Xiaoqing agreed and walked out the door.

In the village, there are only a few places to play.

Gu Xiaoqing looked around, but really couldn’t find any trace of the two kids.

Strangely enough, where has that little brat gone?

Gu Xiaoqing called out names as she walked.

When she reached the road by the small river at the village head, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It seemed like Gu Xiaojie’s voice.

Still mixed with a loud sob.

"Let me go, let me go, I won’t go with you, I won’t go with you. My sister said if a stranger tries to take me away, it’s a bad person."

Gu Xiaoqing’s heart jolted, could it be what she’s thinking?

She looked around, realizing she was unarmed. Even if she went up, she couldn’t win in a fight.

But that’s her own brother. If he was taken by human traffickers, he might never be found again.

In desperation, she searched and found a branch as thick as her arm by the roadside; it should help in a fight.

She carried it and walked towards the sound.

From a distance, she saw a tractor parked there, and a strong, tall, dark-skinned man was dragging Xiaojie by his collar towards it.

Xiaojie was still struggling, screaming incoherently.

The man punched Xiaojie’s head, making him quiet.

Gu Xiaoqing panicked.

This man was so ruthless. What if Xiaojie was beaten to a stupor?

But there was no one around to call for help.

What should she do?

Gu Xiaoqing tore off part of the fabric from her cotton jacket’s side; it was new red floral fabric. She hung it on the roadside branches, hoping it would be a clue for her family and villagers.

She couldn’t abandon Gu Xiaojie.

But going over there herself, she probably wasn’t a match for them either.

The odds aren’t good.

Gripping the stick, she silently crept forward. When the large man was throwing Xiaojie into the tractor, she sneaked up behind him and swung the stick hard, "bang".

The large man felt the back of his head, then turned around to look at Gu Xiaoqing.

His eyes widened; upon seeing it was a little girl, his surprise turned to anger.

Gu Xiaoqing shrunk her neck.

It’s over, that hit clearly had no effect.

She retreated two steps.

She couldn’t run.

If she got caught, at least she’d be with Xiaojie and might find a way to escape. But if she ran, then Xiaojie would be nowhere to be found.

The large man collapsed with a thud.

Gu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, kicking the larger man to ensure he was unconscious. If he caught her, it would be over.

Fortunately, the large man didn’t move.

Gu Xiaoqing approached and climbed the tractor’s edge, seeing three children lying in the cart.

Gu Xiaojie, Zhang Zijie, and a little girl named Hu Niu from the village; she was only three.

These scumbags.

Gu Xiaoqing was just about to pick up Gu Xiaojie.

Suddenly she felt pain at the back of her neck.

Her vision went black, and she passed out.

The last thing in her fading consciousness was that she had also been captured by traffickers.

When Gu Xiaoqing came to, she was in a dark, dilapidated cave. The windows were boarded up tight, making it pitch black and damp inside.

Her head ached. When she tried to touch it, she realized her hands were tightly bound behind her, unable to move at all.

Her feet were tied as well, seemingly fastened securely.

There was a wad of something, an unknown rag, stuffed in her mouth.

As her eyes adjusted, she finally made out shadowy figures in the darkness around her, accompanied by low sobbing sounds, but they weren’t from mouths, likely because mouths were gagged too.

No other figures were in sight.

It seemed she was with other abducted children.

Gu Xiaoqing’s head hurt severely.

There was a warm sensation from behind, and her vision kept darkening, indicating the injury at the back of her head was quite serious.

Could it be a concussion?

In a previous life, when Fu Guoqiang used to beat her, she often suffered concussions, so she was well-versed in the experience.

She lay still.

Suddenly there was movement from behind.

A body shifted closer to her.

A warm breath signaled its approach.

A voice whispered urgently in her ear: "You’re awake, if you are, the two of us should work together to untie the ropes and find a way to escape. The other kids are too young to help, do you understand?"

It was a shrill, raspy voice, like a teenager in puberty, Gu Xiaoqing guessed.

Strangely, weren’t traffickers targeting only young children? Why bother capturing an older kid?

Her capture was an accident, unavoidable.

But this boy was too old to sell—what use did he have here?

Still, Gu Xiaoqing nodded, unsure if he could see her.

She had no way to speak with her mouth gagged.

The boy seemed to notice her movement, and a warm body leaned against hers, hands fumbling clumsily.

Gu Xiaoqing’s body tensed.

What on earth was this rascal feeling?

That’s her rear!

Couldn’t he get it right?

Luckily, the awkward fumbling was brief, and the boy finally found Gu Xiaoqing’s hands...
