"Well … it's very expensive. I think Wang Guihua's neighbor has one. Her husband bought it for her after he worked."
"Oh …" Huo Mien nodded and started thinking.
She was thinking about how to borrow a phone without arousing suspicion.
"Girl, where are you from?"
"S City."
"Wow, it's a big city."
"It's okay." Huo Mien smiled and held the bowl of noodles in her hand. The hot aroma wafted into her nose.
Although there wasn't a piece of meat or a lot of oil, it smelled better than the food made in restaurants. Perhaps Huo Mian was hungry from all that torture.
She ate and chatted with the grandma.
"Girl, you're not familiar with this place. Why are you here looking for relatives? Tomorrow morning, you should leave by car. Don't stay here."
"What's wrong, grandma? Is there a problem here?"
"Sigh … it's a sin. I don't even know how to tell you." The grandma sat on the doorstep and sighed.
"I won't tell anyone," Huo Mien emphasized.
"We used to be quite peaceful here. Later on, human trafficking suddenly sprung up. Do you know that it's illegal? But those crazy people would do anything for money. Children, women, anything that can be sold. We did become rich in the past few years, but it's not because of proper business … Those people will get their retribution sooner or later. Girl, you're an outsider and you're pregnant. If you get targeted by those bad guys, you'll be finished."
"Grandma, don't the police care about what those bad people do?" Huo Mien asked tentatively.
"Police? Those people took the money and turned a blind eye to it. Fortunately, they weren't locals. They just kept bringing people back from outside. This place is finished. Ever since my old man died, my eldest daughter and her family of three moved away. Not long after, my youngest son went out to work. If it weren't for me being reluctant to leave this place, I would have left long ago. "
"This place … needs to be cleaned up. Those human traffickers are despicable."
Huo Mien finished the grandma's noodles with a heavy heart.
Seeing that the old grandma's legs seemed to be inconvenient, he even took the initiative to take her pulse.
"Little girl, you know how to treat illnesses?"
"Yes, I'm a doctor."
"Wow, you're already a doctor at such a young age."
It was obvious that the old granny worshipped doctors.
"I'm not young anymore, grandma. I'm almost 30 years old."
After taking her pulse, Huo Mien stood up. "Grandma, your body is a little weak. Do you cough often?"
"Yes, yes. My lungs aren't good. Every year before winter, I would cough for a long time. It's an old problem." The old granny nodded.
"Well, it's not a big problem. Don't catch a cold. When I get home, I'll send someone to bring you some Chinese medicine. Drink it well."
"No, no, those medicines are too expensive." The old granny waved her hand.
"It's okay. You don't have to spend money. I'll give it to you."
At this moment, the old lady was about to speak.
Then, he heard a commotion outside …
Huo Mien saw a group of people walking in from afar.
"You guys, search house by house. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you can't let him run away. That's our god of fortune."
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was a human trafficker.
Huo Mien's face immediately changed.
"Grandma, I have to hide. They're all bad people."
"Quick, hide in the water tank behind me."
"Ah?" I don't know how to swim.
"It's okay. There's no water inside."
The old granny quickly led Huo Mien to the dark back room. There was a dilapidated water tank with some dried cabbage in it. A strong smell of rotten cabbage wafted out.
Huo Mien made up his mind. He stepped on a stool and jumped into the tank. Then, the old granny covered the tank with a red cloth.
After everything was done, the group of people rushed in.
"What's the matter?" The old granny looked at these people.
"Damn old woman, do you see a pregnant woman?" The leader of the human trafficker looked fierce.
