The dark-skin boy groaned in pain and covered his throbbing forehead with his hand. He looked up and Shao Yibai's devilishly handsome face that was getting clearer and clearer at the moment as the fog dispersed
The fair-skin boy was so stunned he did not dare to even make a sound. All he did was to wrapped his arms around his chest, tears glimmering in his eyes.
"Big brother, are you all soldiers?"
The dark-skin boy's eyes were beaming as he stared at Shao Yibai's army-colored camouflage uniform and the glistering gun at this waist.
"Yes! What are you both afraid of?" Shao Yibai asked in a low voice.
"Someone is chasing after us!" said the dark-skin boy in excitement. He suddenly felt as though there was hope for them.
At this time, a stream of profanities could be heard behind their backs."If I catch those two brats, I'll shoot them both down!"
"It seemed like fasting them for an entire day was not enough. I'll get them so hungry that they'll not even have the strength to walk. Let's see how they can run..."
Shao Yibai's gaze turned cold. He pulled the two of them behind him and gave a signal to his subordinates with a wave of his hand.
The few of them had formed a circle around the area and was ready to ambush the enemies.
The dark-skin boy was getting a little excited. He grabbed hold of the fair-skin boy's hand tightly and sobbed, "They're about to fight..."
Shao Yibai's pressed his index finger against his lips, telling them to not make any sound.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Shao Yibai made a "three, two" sign with his hand, indicating that there were three people and two of whom were trained fighters.
The driver was gasping for air as he jogged behind the two idiots. Before he could even make sense of what was going on, a gunshot sounded out of nowhere and Bearded Man Three who was running in the front fell onto the ground.
"Shit! This is a trap!" Bearded Man Two realized that they had been ambushed. He hid in the bushes and prepared himself to fight.
The people that Shao Yibai brought along were professionally trained soldiers who had received the best training. However, their opponent was just mere human-trafficking idiots. Therefore, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be no match for them.
A gunshot sounded.
Ten minutes later, Bearded Man Two who was hiding in the bushes was killed on the spot.
The driver also had a gun in his hand, but he was captured without any resistance.
The driver was pressed onto the ground. He screamed for mercy, crying with snot running down his face.
"Where are the rest?" Shao Yibai knew that other than drug dealing, this area was also known for human trafficking.
Not only weak women and children were their targets, but even young strong adults were also taken for their organs to be sold in the black market...
Therefore, it was impossible that there were only two victims if they were seen to be on the move. These two children must have escaped by themselves.
"The others are waiting in front, they haven't left yet..." The driver said, hugging his head and crying.
Shao Yibai shouted at the fair skin boy shivering beside him, "Come on, let's go save the others!"
The dark-skin boy jumped out of the bush along with the fair-skin boy. He saw Bearded Man Two who almost managed to assault him turn into a corpse. Even in the brink of death, the man was holding tight onto his gun. His body still looked murderous even in death. The fair-skin boy could not help but turn pale with fright.
Shao Yibai's action was extremely accurate and quick. His eyes were looked murderous. Along with his elite equipment and handsome looks, the dark-skin boy had already become an invested admirer of his. The only thing he had restrained from doing was to throw himself at him!
He followed Shao Yibai excitedly and headed in the direction where they had just came from.
The remaining few idiots thought that the gunshots were fired by one of them. The bearded man laughed and said to his companion, "Second Brother killed the kid, so we have no choice but to collect his corpse!"
The men burst out laughing, and the teenagers next to them covered their mouths out of fear and dared not even to cry out loud.
At this moment, both of Shao Yibai's daggers flew out of his hands...
Half an hour later...
Eleven people, including the dark-skin boy and fair-skin boy, were rescued.
"Send them to the country's relief station!"
Shao Yibai made arrangements after checking the goods and the number of people.
Some of the teenagers were rejoicing, and some were crying tears of joy. They followed the soldiers to get some food first as they waited for the country's helicopter to pick them up.
However, the fair-skin boy and the dark-skin boy did not move.
"Big brother, can I stay with you?" The dark-skin boy stared at Shao Yibai and asked.
The handsome man smiled and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
"Tian Qi!" The dark-skin man answered firmly with a joyful look on his little face."The 'Tian' from farmland and 'Qi' from seven days [TN: In Chinese characters, the word "Tian" is the same as the first character of the word of farmland, which is "Tian Di"; whereas the word "Qi" is the same as the first character of the word seven days, which is "Qi Tian"]!"
Shao Yibai could not help but laugh when he heard that. The few Special Forces soldiers next to him saw Tian Qi's dark-colored face and could not help but laugh along.
"How old are you? What does your family do?" Shao Yibai pinched Tian Qi's shoulder. Tian Qi could no longer be considered as a young boy. However, since he had been starved for a long period, he seemed very frail and weak.
"Reporting sir, I'm 18 years old. I'm the only one left in the family. I'm an orphan!"
A beautiful woman who was practicing medicine came to the village and said that she could bring him along to explore the outside world. Tian Qi was a very curious boy, so he followed the beautiful woman out of the mountain, but he found that he was sold to the idiots at the end...
"Why do you want to follow me?" Shao Yibai supressed the urge to laugh when he saw the serious look on his face and nasked in a low voice.
"I can hold guns, go on war, and even fill my belly if I follow you!"
Tian Qi smiled and scratched his head. He was drooling as he stared at the glistering gun Shao Yibai was carrying...
Shao Yibai smiled once again, and his gaze fell onto the fair-skin boy whose head was lowered standing at the side. He asked, "What's your name?"
The fair-skin boy was shocked. He looked left and right only to make sure that this Godlike man had asked him a question.
He bit his lips and said with a trembled voice, "Su Qing... Su Qingdai!"
He reported a fake name!
He had reservations even towards his savior.
It was not that he was ungrateful, but he had been through too much and had already lost his trust in people.
After all, it was no other than his parents who had sold him to the human traffickers.
She had many siblings at home, and she was the most obedient one.
She went to work in the field with her parents during the day and read her brother's books in secret when she went home at night. She had a wish in her heart, which was to be able to go to school if her family's income had gotten better...
Up until one day, her father brought her to the market in the town to buy her food and new clothes. Then, he handed her over to the owner of a shop in the market and told her to do some work there to earn some pocket money.
She did not know just then that she was sold by her father!
She kept herself busy for an entire day and was rather satisfied with her job. At the very least, she could still make some money.
When the night arrived, the old man in the shop took off his clothes and pounced at her. Only then she knew that she was the best looking daughter in the family, but she was still worth only 10, 000 yuan...
Run!
She managed to knocked the drunk old man onto the ground with the stamina she had gained from working so in the field over the past few years. Then, she took some money from the shop and escaped.
She ran a dozen miles, cut her hair in another town and bought some men's clothes.
Perhaps she was destined to be sold. She fled to the county's town and got on the train with a local job recruiter. She thought that she was on the way to work in the southern region, but it turned out that she was being sold to the border between Yunnan and Myanmar by these idiots...
...
Shao Yibai sizedShu Qingdai up and patted her body with his big hand. Then, he said calmly, "How old are you? As a man, you're way too thin!"
Shu Qingdai almost fell into the pit when he patted her. She gathered herself and looked at the man. She could see his sexy throat and strong, big hands. The man spoke mandarin perfectly with a Capital City's noble accent. His pronounciation was accurate, and his tone was pleasant. Shu Qingdai was so shy she could not bring herself to look him in the eye.
"I'm 19 years old..."
She was indeed 19 years old, but she was not a man...
