Chapter 474: Chapter 230: Would You Be Willing to Buy Qianhe?
Not to mention the boy in front of him was clearly pampered. The man’s mind turned over, and he still politely refused, "No... Qianhe is a good child, she... ahem, she knows how to take care of herself... she’ll be fine..."
Looking at the light in the other person’s eyes gradually dimming, even though Huaixi was young, he knew this person had lost the will to live... What a pity for those eyes, Huaixi lingered on them with some attachment, "Why? If you live, she’ll live better."
Huaixi couldn’t imagine, should one day, his mother, Uncle Changxi, and Aunt Su Mo were all gone, leaving only him and his brother, how desperate it would be. Thinking about Qianhe’s feelings being similar, why choose not to live when there is a chance to live? Going to the hospital could get him treatment.
"The fact... is quite the opposite..." Perhaps knowing his time was short, the man spoke more than usual, greedily staring at Qianhe, and with difficulty took a couple of breaths, he said something shocking, "Kid... how about I sell Qianhe to you?"
Huaixi: "..." He thought the strange grandma was a trafficker, but the real trafficker was here...
"Haha... Are you scared?" The man’s eyes revealed a bit of dark humor, seemingly enjoying Huaixi’s speechless expression. Actually, he was helpless; if he died, even if Qianhe could survive, life wouldn’t be good. She’s still too young, with an undecided disposition, and being a girl, might inevitably stray...
The years of living on the streets had shown him many scenes he had never seen before. Faced with life’s pressure, some people would choose to abandon all they could, including dignity and pride, just for a bite to eat.
One can’t say such a lifestyle is wrong... because everyone has the instinct to survive and the right to live... but he didn’t want Qianhe, who he cherished, to have such a future.
Looking at this boy’s attire, he must be well-off. He’s a kind-hearted child, and his family environment should be good... Helping Qianhe would be much better than her possibly ending up in a tragic future.
"I’m not scared, just think it’s contradictory for Uncle to act like this. Why would you rather trust a stranger you’ve only met once than yourself? You are Qianhe’s uncle, no one would love and protect her more than you, right?"
Huaixi didn’t understand; how great was the aversion to hospitals that he would choose such a seemingly hopeless path?
"Such a clever kid... such a sharp tongue..." The man’s questions left him speechless, and he felt a wave of helplessness.
People desire to live, even despite past hardships, he gritted his teeth and survived. How could he not want to protect Qianhe himself? But in his current state, he couldn’t go to the hospital; it would only implicate Qianhe if he did...
"You don’t know me, you don’t know my family situation, what if Qianhe is really sold to me, and it’s the wrong person, what if she gets bullied?" Huaixi thought the man probably watched too many melodramatic romance dramas in the square, messing with his intelligence.
Strange uncle... Huaixi tagged him accordingly. Thinking about his own all-capable mom and uncle and aunt, a plan formed in his heart, he said again, "Since you refuse to go to the hospital, why not come to my house, maybe you’ll have a stroke of luck and save a life."
Huaixi didn’t realize that if we’re talking about human traffickers, his current tactics for coaxing people away were even more advanced.
"Ahahaha... The young master has really grown, knows to bring little girls home now. If the master knew, surely she would be very pleased." Just then, Changxi’s voice reached his ears, with an unspeakable humor.
Huaixi turned around to look at the source of the voice, only to see Changxi, who had blended in with the wall, slowly revealing his original form. His long hair was neatly tied, dressed in a tailcoat, his white shirt making him look increasingly tantalizing and restrained, his slender hands wrapped in white gloves. At this time, he stood straight, nodded slightly at Huaixi, his face warm.
"Uncle Changxi!" Huaixi, teased and taunted, was furious, his little face blushing, making the certain robot’s smile even broader.
"Alright, alright, don’t be mad." Changxi stepped forward, eyes gleaming blue-black fixated on the vagrant, a mirth glinting through his lifelike electronic eyes, "What we sought far and wide was easily found... indeed the young master is a lucky star..."
Hearing Changxi’s words, the man’s face changed instantly, the originally dull eyes bursting with a sharp aura. Changxi raised his hand to adjust the half-frame glasses on his nose, flicked his hand, and shot a syringe of medicine into the man’s body, then patted Huaixi’s head gently, "Take this lovely little sister home, uncle will take this person back first. I guarantee that you will see a lively wounded person when you get home..."
Though the dirtiness annoyed Changxi, exacerbating his obsessive cleanliness, he still hoisted the man onto his shoulder, with not a hint of gentleness. Anyway, with the life-extending needle, tossing him around for hours wouldn’t kill anyone.
"Uncle Changxi, what did that mean before?" Huaixi wasn’t an ordinary five-year-old kid, not understanding the adult world, yet he could somewhat analyze it. Hearing those words, it seemed Uncle Changxi was previously looking for this man?
"The young master can choose to ask the master, if she feels the young master can know, I will then inform you."
After saying this, Changxi’s figure suddenly disappeared. Huaixi held Qianhe’s hand tighter, reassuring her, "Qianhe, your uncle will be alright. Uncle Changxi is amazing... I’ll take you to my house first..."
Qianhe looked blankly at Huaixi, and after a long time, was woodenly led away by him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
