Chen Tang lay down at the door of the woodshed and took a look. Through the crack in the door, he could vaguely see what was going on inside.
The little girl was inside, leaning on the pile of firewood, hugging the yellow dog, keeping each other warm.
Chen Tang hesitated for a moment, then pushed open Chaimen.
When he saw the situation in the woodshed, he frowned slightly, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
One of the little girl's ankles was actually shackled, and the other side of the chain was tied to a pillar in the woodshed.
As a result, the little girl could not escape and could only be locked in this woodshed.
The owner of the house tied her up here like a dog!
The yellow dog in the little girl's arms seemed to feel the murderous aura in Chen Tang. He suddenly broke away from the girl's arms, lay down on his bruised body, and roared at Chen Tang!
The wounds on the yellow dog's body were left by whipping during the day, and they still looked bloody.
Huh?
Chen Tang looked strange.
He stared at the yellow dog and took a step forward!
The yellow dog smelled Chen Tang's scent and was obviously frightened, but it still didn't retreat. It still stood in front of the little girl and grinned at Chen Tang!
"Good dog."
Chen Tang admired in his heart.
Even when the two evil wolves from the Wolf Gang smelled his scent, they stayed away and did not dare to get close.
He bit his master back and didn't even dare to shout at him.
This ordinary country dog was not big, only reaching his knees. He was obviously afraid and his body was trembling slightly.
But in order to protect the little girl, it never flinched.
"Xiao Huang, don't be mean. This is brother Ah Tang. He is a good person."
At this moment, the little girl spoke, her voice clear and sweet.
Upon hearing this, the yellow dog's previous aura immediately dissipated, and with a whimper, it hid in the little girl's arms, trembling, and turning its head from time to time, peeking at Chen Tang with one of its eyes.
Um?
Chen Tang subconsciously reached out and touched his face. The mask was still there, completely covering his face.
How did this little girl recognize him?
In the dim light, it was impossible to recognize him just by his exposed eyes.
"Brother Ah Tang, you got the wrong person."
Chen Tang lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the little girl laughed and said, "Brother Ah Tang, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. I feel relieved knowing that you are still alive."
Although the little girl's cheeks were swollen and purple, and her true appearance could no longer be seen, when she smiled, her eyes curved up, like crescent moons, full of joy.
Chen Tang sighed lightly.
He had no intention of meeting the little girl.
Mainly because I haven't figured out how to arrange it.
If he takes the little girl into his home now, the county police chief will definitely follow the clues and find his head.
It’s not realistic to take it to the snowy mountains.
Let alone bringing outsiders, the mountain guest forbade him from mentioning anything on the snow-capped mountains.
Chen Tang just planned to get rid of the owner of the family first, so that the little girl could temporarily escape from the misery and avoid being beaten and tortured again.
As for the subsequent arrangements, he could only wait for the government to close the case and the little girl to regain her freedom. Then he would try to contact her and find a good place for her.
Maybe Plum Blossom Martial Arts School would be good.
But Chen Tang didn't expect that the little girl would recognize him.
And his tone was so sure, and his smile was so innocent.
There's no point in pretending anymore.
Chen Tang walked in, squatted down, took off the mask on his face, and asked, "How did you recognize me?"
The little girl smiled and said, "I heard your voice during the day. I thought it was an illusion and didn't think much about it."
"I just heard the noise coming from that house, and I guessed that someone was coming to save me."
Having said this, the little girl lowered her head slightly and said, "If there is anyone in the world who cares about me and is desperate to save me, it's Brother Atang."
Chen Tang was silent.
The little girl didn't recognize him.
But guessed him.
Chen Tang asked: "Where are your relatives at home?"
"I have no idea."
The little girl shook her head slightly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, and said: "I got separated from them when I was very young. After that, I was taken away and sold as a maid. I escaped and was caught and sold again. … In the past few years, I can’t even remember how many times I was sold and how many times I escaped.”
Chen Tang was silent.
In such a world, the little girl was alone and endured so much suffering.
"How old are you?"
Chen Tang asked.
"Must be ten years old."
The little girl was a little unsure.
"Xiao Huang, I picked it up on the way to escape."
The little girl gently comforted the yellow dog and said: "It was injured and dying, so I fed it some food and drink, and gradually it recovered. The two of us have been dependent on each other for several years."
The yellow dog seemed to understand the little girl's words and gently cupped its palm.
"Xiao Huang, this is brother Ah Tang, my savior. You must remember him and don't hurt him." The little girl warned again.
Upon hearing this, the yellow dog gradually lowered its guard against Chen Tang and began to wag its tail, showing a hint of flattery.
It tried to move closer to Chen Tang and smelled his scent carefully.
Chen Tang took out most of the roast chicken and a few steamed buns that had been wrapped in the restaurant before, and gently opened the oil paper, letting the aroma spread.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Chen Tang handed over the roast chicken and steamed buns.
"Uh-huh."
The little girl took it, smiled and said happily: "It's still warm."
…
The two people lying on the roof could clearly see the fighting in the room through the moonlight.
Qingmu said softly: "After encountering such changes, his family was almost destroyed, and his blood was not cold. Instead, he became so mature. I kind of admire him."
The fat old man returned to smiling and murmured: "With a careful mind, a calm head, and ruthless methods, he is really a good prospect that is hard to find in a century."
"What, master, are you going to accept him as your disciple?" Qingmu pursed his lips and smiled.
His master has a very high vision and rarely praises a junior like this.
"what do you think?"
The fat old man rubbed his chubby little hands and asked expectantly.
Qingmu smiled and said: "Of course I like it. This way I will have an additional junior brother."
Hmm... From now on, it will be more justifiable to bully him.
"When does Master plan to accept him?"
Qingmu asked.
The fat old man said: "You have to find a suitable time for this matter. I can't take the initiative to speak. After all, I am a first-class master, so I still have to be reserved."
Qingmu smiled and said, "Do you want me to give him some hints?"
"No need."
The fat old man said: "When the time comes, if I show a little bit of my skills and my knowledge as a teacher, are you afraid that I won't be able to suppress him?"
"At that time, when he is shocked and sincerely convinced, I will push him along the way and take him under my disciple. You will have one more junior brother."
At this moment, the two of them also noticed the roast chicken and steamed buns that Chen Tang took out from his arms in the woodshed.
Qingmu's expression suddenly dawned, and a soft color flashed in his eyes, and he said: "During the day, he heard that the family wanted to starve the little girl, so he packed the food in the restaurant."
"Otherwise with his appetite, how could he have left most of the roast chicken?"
The fat old man said: "He is quite nice. I misunderstood him before."
