Chapter 138
When Cheng Xi was sixteen, he picked up a child who was only five or six years old. The child was called Li Cheng and was also abandoned. Cheng Xi took good care of the child because of the similar experience.
Otherwise, a five or six-year-old child would not be able to live alone until now.
Cheng Xi knew that stealing was not good, even if he had to steal to survive. He never let Li Cheng steal with him.
He tried his best to let Li Cheng go to school, but Li Cheng was also an illegal resident. No school here would accept him. Even after accepting Li Cheng, even if the tuition for compulsory education was very low, it was still not something Cheng Xi could afford.
In the end, Cheng Xi could only find some books and bring them back for Li Cheng to read by himself. Cheng Xi could also teach Li Cheng reluctantly, because when Cheng Xi lived with his grandfather when he was a child, his grandfather took great pains to send him to elementary school.
He studied until the fourth grade and stopped studying after being taken away by his mother. Cheng Xi also knew a lot of words.
After hearing these things, Cheng Yan walked quickly towards the abandoned building. He listened here and Cheng Xi had already left here.
Although he only walked here once, Cheng Yan could smell the smell he left when he came here, so he would not get lost and soon arrived at the bottom of the abandoned building.
Just as he walked over, Cheng Yan found that Cheng Xi hurriedly ran down from the upstairs, shouting the name of the little boy Li Cheng while running.
What's the situation? The little boy is missing?
Cheng Yan was a little confused.
He walked quickly to the seventh floor. Cheng Yan did not see Li Cheng here, and Cheng Yan found that someone seemed to have been here.
This wooden bed has been overturned, and in addition to the smell of Li Cheng and Cheng Xi, Cheng Yan also smelled the smell of other people.
Cheng Yan had been here before, and he still remembered what smelled here before, and the smell of these people had never been here before.
Is someone coming? And there are several people, what are they doing here? To get Li Cheng away?
Cheng Yan sniffed the smell and found that these people were indeed mixed with Li Cheng's smell, and the smell was going down.
Following the smell all the way downstairs, when Cheng Yan came down, Cheng Xi was still anxiously calling Li Cheng's name.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yan's sense of smell already knew that these people seemed to be no longer in this abandoned building, and they seemed to have gone out.
Following the smell all the way, Cheng Yan found that when he was outside the highway, the smell became much lighter.
Bad! Did they get in the car?
Cheng Yan instantly realized that it was not good. Although the smell would remain after driving away, the smell was very light. If it took a longer time, it might dissipate.
Cheng Yan immediately quickened his pace and started running, smelling the remaining smell while running.
After running for an unknown period of time, when the sky began to darken, Cheng Yan came to a village.
The houses in this village are all well built, with small courtyards and a large distance between each other. Each house is separated by a distance of dozens of meters.
Looking at the van in front of him, Cheng Yan stepped forward and sniffed carefully to confirm that there was the smell of Li Cheng in the van.
However, there was no one in the van at this time. Cheng Yan walked around the van and sniffed the direction they left.
Following the smell along the road, Cheng Yan came to the outside of a house in the village, and the smell of Li Cheng was inside.
Cheng Yan looked up at the closed gate and the camera on the courtyard wall, and decided to go in temporarily with his current kitten size.
With a jump, Cheng Yan directly jumped over the two-meter-high wall and entered the small courtyard.
Cheng Yan came to the door of the house silently, tried to push it, and found that the door was locked. It might not be possible to sneak in from the gate.
After taking a few steps back, Cheng Yan looked at the house in front of him and found that there was a balcony on the second floor, and the door of the adjacent room was open.
Cheng Yan looked around, found a good position, jumped directly onto the wall, and then jumped from the wall to the balcony on the second floor.
As soon as he arrived at the second-floor balcony, Cheng Yan heard the movement inside. There were people in the room with the door open.
It seemed that five or six people were eating and chatting.
"How is the little boy we brought back today?"
"Not bad. I took a look at his appearance. He looks good. I think he can be sold for a good price. What about you? Did you get him?"
"It's not that easy. Kids nowadays are very smart. There are adults watching them. How can it be that easy to get him? It's not like the two orphans you got. It's not easy to catch them."
Cheng Yan listened outside for a while, and soon he found that the people inside seemed to be human traffickers.?
Li Cheng must have been targeted by them for a few days. They have found out about Cheng Xi and Li Chenggong. They know that they are illegal residents and no one else cares about them. Even if they are missing, it will take a long time to find them.
Cheng Yan walked to the window of this room and looked inside carefully.
Six people, five men and one woman, all look about forty years old.
Cheng Yan hesitated. He didn't see Li Cheng in this room. He was probably in another room. He was not sure whether there were only these six people in the room, so he decided to find out the situation first.
Soon, Cheng Yan waited for the opportunity. After they finished their meal, four people left the room. The other two people were not paying attention to the balcony at all. They were all looking at their mobile phones.
Cheng Yan rushed from the balcony to the stairs leading downstairs.
A man in the room was a little confused. He seemed to see a white thing, which disappeared in a flash.
"Hey, did you see the white shadow just flashing by?"
The middle-aged man next to him didn't even raise his head: "You've drunk too much, where did the white shadow come from?"
The man could only look at the corridor of the room with a confused look on his face. After looking for a while, he didn't see anything else, so he didn't take it seriously and started playing with his mobile phone again.
After Cheng Yan came downstairs, he found the other two people. There were a total of eight people in the group. The two people stayed in a room with three little boys, including Li Cheng.
However, the three children lay motionless on the bed. Even though the two people in the room were chatting, they didn't mean to wake up.
Cheng Yan took a look at the three children and guessed that they might have been knocked unconscious by drugs.
Then Cheng Yan checked all the rooms on the first floor. There was no one in the living room now. There were two rooms and a kitchen on the first floor.
In addition to the room where the three children and the other two were, there were two people living in another room. Cheng Yan estimated that there might be two more people in other rooms on the second floor.
