"Brother Que~ Where did you go just now? Lian'er was scared to death! Heibu Longdong here, I thought you left me and ran away!"

Zheng Si'er, on the other hand, had a dignified expression and didn't say a word.

Lian'er noticed something was wrong, so she asked carefully.

"Brother Que, what's the matter with you? You don't seem to be feeling well, do you want to go to the latrine too?"

Zheng Sier shook her head slightly and said softly:

"It's okay, let's go back first."

Lian'er nodded in confusion, but those little hands firmly grabbed Zheng Si'er's sleeves, obediently followed behind her, and returned to the girls' dormitory.

Lian'er quickly got into bed, while Zheng Si'er was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

What should I do?

Should I tell everyone the truth directly and take everyone out?

If you want to escape, how should you leave with such a large group of people?

Zheng Si'er knew that although she could climb out the door wall, everyone in the Orphanage Home didn't have this ability, but if she used a ladder to climb out, the large number of people would be too obvious, and Uncle Li, who was watching the night, would definitely find out.

Someone must open the courtyard door and let them go out quietly through the main entrance!

Apart from Aunt Wang, the only one who holds the key in the courtyard is Uncle Li, and Uncle Li's kind face can't help but appear in Zheng Si'er's mind.

Although Aunt Wang is new here, Uncle Li has been in this orphanage for many years.

No matter how bad Aunt Wang treats everyone, but that kind old man always has her heart towards everyone, and treats the orphans in the courtyard as if she was her own, and she is really considerate.

Zheng Si'er secretly made up her mind and decided to tell everyone the truth.

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Everyone get up, I have something to say!"

Zheng Si'er gently shook everyone awake.

Although they were all sleepy, seeing Zheng Sier's serious face, they all sat in a circle obediently. This is Zheng Sier's unique appeal in this orphanage.

One of them rubbed his eyes and stretched deeply.

"Woo~ Brother Que, what's the matter, can't we talk about it tomorrow? I have to tell everyone to get up now."

Zheng Si'er told everyone verbatim about what she saw and heard tonight.

First someone screamed, then Zheng Si'er immediately covered his mouth and looked around, everyone was terrified and couldn't believe what Zheng Si'er said.

Especially Lian'er, she was the most surprised one.

"That's the way it is. Everyone will be sent to the brothel in the future. I'm going to take you away tomorrow."

Someone in the crowd raised his hand and asked timidly:

"But what do we live on when we go out?"

"What else can you live on? Rely on your own hands and feet! Is there any one of you who is willing to stay? Or do you say you don't believe what I say?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all silent.

Seeing that no one objected, Zheng Sirer said to them:

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow when you are working, go tell the men's dormitory, and we will sneak out of the yard at night."

"But the gate of the courtyard will be locked at night, how can we get out?

Questions were raised.

Zheng Si'er bowed her head in silence for a while, then said:

"I'll figure it out, you don't have to worry about it! Rest and get ready."

Now everyone in the orphanage can't sleep.

They couldn't figure it out, yesterday's home would become a place they had to escape overnight, but Brother Que would definitely not lie to them.

The next day.

Zheng Si'er arranged a specific escape plan in detail, and solemnly asked the girls to tell the partners in the men's room about this matter.

But she herself ran to Uncle Li's house and knocked on the door lightly.

Zheng Sier Extra ([-])

Zheng Si'er waited outside the thatched cottage for a while, but seeing that no one responded, she raised her hand and knocked on the door again.

"I'm coming."

There was an old voice in response.

Not long after, the dilapidated wooden door opened from the inside, revealing Uncle Li's wrinkled old face.

He squinted his dim old eyes, looked at Zheng Si'er outside the door, recognized it for a while, and then said in surprise:

"It's Xiao Que'er, what's the matter with the old man who came to see me so early? Do you want to get the key again?"

Zheng Si'er's face was extra dignified.

She looked around a few times and made sure no one was around before she dared to whisper:

"Uncle Li, let me in first, I have something very important to tell you!"

Although Uncle Li didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the little girl's gourd, he still opened the door and let Zheng Si'er in.

"Have you had breakfast? If not, I have some pancakes here."

Zheng Sirer shook her head and declined Uncle Li's kindness.

Because the chairs in the room were a bit too high for her age, she had to jump up with her hands on her body, and then sat on the bench next to the square table.

Uncle Li picked up the small pot with a short mouth and poured some water into the small wooden bowl in front of her.

"wait for me a while."

After the kind old man finished speaking, he walked to the bedside with the stick in his hand.

A hemp rope was hung on the wooden beam in the house, and an old bamboo basket was tied to the end of the hemp rope. Uncle Li raised his hand and groped inside for a long time, as if he had pulled out something.

He sat across from Zheng Sirer and sprinkled what he was holding on the table with a smile. It turned out to be a handful of golden dried peanuts.

"You're welcome, just peel and eat. My room has always been very deserted, and it's quite lively with you, little sparrow."

Zheng Sirer glanced at the peanuts on the table with some greed, and swallowed lightly.

But she came today because she had something important to say, so she resisted the desire to reach out, sat up straight on the bench, looked at Uncle Li and said solemnly:

"Uncle Li, do you know that when we reach the age in this orphanage, others will adopt it?"

"I know, so what's going on?"

He casually picked up a peanut from the table, put it between his index finger and thumb, and pinched it gently. The peanut cracked with a crack, and he peeled it open along the hole. He picked up a red peanut and pointed towards it. Throw the teeth out of your mouth.

He smiled and said:

"Could it be that Xiao Que'er can't wait? Want to find someone early?"

Zheng Si'er shook her head and said:

"No! I found out last night that those who left the orphanage were not actually adopted!"

Li Bo narrowed his eyes and sipped the peanuts in his mouth for a while, then picked up the wooden bowl and took a sip of clear water.

"Huh? Not adopted? Where did that go?"

Zheng Si'er told Uncle Li what he saw and heard last night.

At first, Uncle Li didn't take it seriously, but the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became.

"Hi!"

He suddenly patted his thigh and said angrily:

"You actually do this kind of dirty business here! It's really not a thing to send a good girl to a brothel!"

Zheng Si'er saw that Uncle Li was really fighting for him and others, so he begged quickly:

"Uncle Li, please help us!"

"Oh? How can I help? Just ask, little Que!"

Zheng Si'er told Uncle Li all about his plan to escape tonight. He stroked his long gray beard and thought for a while before he said:

"No problem, then I won't lock the door tonight and hang a chain to show off. Then you can go through the front door."

"Thank you, Uncle Li! I knew you were a good person! You would not join in with them!"

Zheng Sirer quickly jumped down from the chair and bowed deeply to Uncle Li.

into the night.

The moonlight outside the window shines through the oiled paper window, and a few dense white lights obliquely shoot out in the women's dormitory.

The room was quiet, but none of the girls fell asleep.

Under the cover of light quilts, everyone was wearing clothes, and they were hidden in the corners and packed into bundles with belongings inside.

"Brother Que, have you got the key?"

A little girl with a pockmarked face who was sleeping next to Zheng Sirer asked quietly.

Zheng Si'er turned around and smiled confidently at her.

"Don't worry, Little Zhizhi, I've already made an agreement with Uncle Li, he won't lock the door tonight, and when Aunt Wang falls asleep, we'll sneak away."

The girl called Xiaozhizhi hesitated for a long time before saying:

"But Brother Que, even if we go out, what can we do? I heard that there is a lot of chaos outside now. If we stay in this orphanage, we can still eat and drink. What are we going out for?"

Zheng Sirer said in confusion:

"What do you mean? If you stay, you will be sent to a brothel!"

"A brothel is a brothel, that's better than starving to death outside, right?"

Xiaozhizhi saw Zheng Sier staring at herself with wide open eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Forget it, let's not leave. You and I are the oldest ones in the courtyard. Even if we can survive starvation, what about the younger ones?"

Zheng Sirer was silent for a while, raised her eyes and said resolutely:

"Then I'll work and keep it. It's better than others selling it."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Xiao Zhizhi sighed faintly, pulled up the quilt and turned over, and said nothing more.

Zheng Si'er's heart became more and more heavy.

She suddenly began to doubt herself. Was her decision really the right one?

Although she didn't know what a brothel was, as far as she knew, women who entered a brothel would end up in a terrible end, and it wasn't a good place anyway.

No, these brothers and sisters must not be sold!

Zheng Si'er clenched her hands under the quilt, and her thoughts became firm again.

As long as they go out, there will definitely be a way to survive, no matter how hard and tired they are, they must be supported!

The bright moon gradually rises from the horizon to the center.

Zheng Si'er got up quietly, pushed open the wooden door and looked outside, only to see that the lights in Aunt Wang's room had been turned off, and now was the time to escape!

"Hey! Get up! We're leaving!"

She called softly to her sisters.

Most of the girls just got up quietly from the bed, but some seven or eight-year-old children really fell asleep because they were too young, and had to be woken up by others.

These little girls rubbed their sleepy eyes, ignorant and ignorant of anything.

They only knew that what Brother Que said must be right.

"Shh~ don't make any noise!"

Zheng Si'er slowly opened the door, taking every step extremely carefully.

She led the way, and led a dozen girls, big and small, to the atrium first, then walked to the door of the men's room alone, and knocked on the door with a very slight movement.
