Chapter 207 Huo Siqian is in danger
But when they heard the original price, the pedestrians frowned, thinking it was a bit expensive.
Huo Siqian said hurriedly: "Auntie, if you buy more, I can give you a 20% discount. These corns are really delicious and fresh. You can buy them and cook or roast them. They are very delicious."
Seeing that the aunt was still hesitant, Huo Siqian continued, "Aunt, you see, we are all children, and it is not easy to sell corn. Just buy some, and we can deliver it to your home."
His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he was waiting for the aunt's response. With his persistence, the aunt finally decided to buy some corn. This small success encouraged the children, and they worked harder to sell corn.
However, the process of selling corn was not smooth sailing.
Some passers-by were suspicious of their corn, thinking the children were cheating.
Huo Siqian patiently explained: "Uncle, we are not lying. These corns are really delicious. You can buy one to try first. If you are not satisfied, we can refund you."
His voice was full of sincerity, as if he was trying to prove his honesty to his uncle. His uncle still didn't quite believe it, so Huo Siqian took out a corn, peeled it and asked his uncle to taste it. After taking a bite, his uncle found that the corn was indeed sweet, so he bought some.
[As expected of Mr. Huo’s bloodline, he is so good at selling things at such a young age. ]
[Sure enough, sincerity is the first killer move. 】
[It seems that Huo Siqian has won this mission again. ]
Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan also encountered various difficulties. Some pedestrians disliked the different sizes of corn. Lawrence Lu hurriedly explained: “Uncle and aunt, although these corns are different in size, they all taste equally sweet. And we can give you a cheaper price. If you buy more, we can give you a 25% discount.”
Some passers-by thought the price was still too high, but Lin Xiaoxuan used her cute smile to impress the customers: "Uncles and aunts, our corn is very cheap, and it's not easy for us to sell corn at such a young age. Just buy some, and we can give you some small gifts."
Her voice was full of tenderness, as if she was conveying her kindness to the customers.
Thanks to the children's efforts, more and more pedestrians began to buy their corn. Their faces were filled with joyful smiles, like blooming flowers. Those smiles were full of a sense of accomplishment, as if telling the world that they were the best.
As time went by, the sun gradually set, and the children's sales work in the town was coming to an end. Huo Siqian looked at the few remaining corns, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Lu Yuxuan and Lin Xiaoxuan also gained a lot. Although the competition between them was fierce, they also learned to cooperate and share in the process.
Just as Huo Siqian, Lu Yuxuan and Lin Xiaoxuan were concentrating and working tirelessly to sell corn, an extremely strange adult quietly appeared in their sight.
The man in front of me was tall and straight, like a towering tree. He was wearing a pure black coat and an equally black hat on his head, which was pulled down low, giving people a mysterious feeling. He also had a pair of large sunglasses on his face, which completely covered his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
He walked slowly towards Huo Siqian's stall at a leisurely pace, and every step seemed to carry an indescribable sense of oppression.
Finally, he stopped in front of Huo Siqian's stall, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Huo Siqian raised his head and looked at this mysterious weirdo with curiosity.
At this moment, a deep and hoarse voice came from a deep pool of water: "Little friend, I want to buy all the corn in your stall."
When Huo Siqian heard this, he felt an irrepressible joy in his heart, and his eyes lit up instantly. The light was like the bright stars in the night sky. He seemed to see the dawn of victory shining before his eyes.
This means that I will definitely be the champion of this mission, and I can also finish work early and have a good rest.
After all, they had been exposed to the scorching sun for so long that their throats were already dry and their bodies were exhausted to the extreme.
Huo Siqian agreed without hesitation: "Okay, uncle, these corns are freshly picked from the fields, they are guaranteed to be fresh and delicious."
However, the man offered to negotiate the deal in the alley.
A trace of doubt flashed through Huo Siqian’s mind, but the joy of victory prevented him from thinking too much. He turned his head to look at Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan, with a smug smile on his face, as if to say, “Look, I’m about to succeed.”
Although Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan were a little envious in their hearts, they were also sincerely happy for Huo Siqian.
Huo Siqian followed the strange man into the alley. The alley was dark and damp, and the walls were covered with mottled moss. The air was filled with an old smell, as if it had been precipitated by the vicissitudes of time.
Huo Siqian began to feel a little uneasy, but he pretended to be calm and tried not to show his fear.
The weirdo stopped and slowly turned around. He slowly took off his sunglasses. Huo Siqian then discovered that there was a strange light in the weirdo's eyes. "Little boy, you are very smart."
The weirdo sneered and said that, that smile made people shudder. Huo Siqian's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that this person might have bad intentions.
"Uncle, why are you talking in the alley? Let's go out." Huo Siqian tried to turn around and leave, but the strange man blocked his way.
"Don't leave in such a hurry, kid." The weirdo showed a ferocious smile, "I'm not here to buy corn, I'm attracted to you as a person."
Huo Siqian suddenly realized that this was the human trafficker that his parents had repeatedly emphasized that they must stay away from.
Huo Siqian's heart was filled with fear, but he knew he couldn't panic. He had to try to calm himself down and rack his brains to think of a way to escape.
"Uncle, please let me go. My mother is still waiting for me."
Huo Siqian tried to impress this scary person with his family affection. Unfortunately, the other party was unmoved: "Humph, your mother can't find you. Come with me, I will give you delicious food and fun things."
As he spoke, the man stretched out his strong hand to grab Huo Siqian.
Huo Siqian dodged the man's hand in front of him nimbly, turned around and ran like a frightened deer, but the man behind him quickly caught up with him at a surprisingly fast speed.
Huo Siqian ran desperately, his heart filled with despair. He didn't know if he could escape the clutches of this human trafficker.
Just when Huo Siqian was in a desperate situation, Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan discovered his abnormality. They saw Huo Siqian followed the weirdo into the alley and did not come out for a long time, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts. After a brief discussion, they decided to go and see what was going on.
The two men walked into the alley cautiously, each step full of vigilance, their hearts beating so fast that they seemed about to jump out of their throats. Just in time, they saw Huo Siqian desperately running away, with the strange adult chasing him closely behind.
Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan rushed up without hesitation and shouted, “Let him go!”
Their voices were firm and powerful, full of a sense of justice. The man was startled by the sudden appearance of the two children, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You two little brats, keep your nose out of other people's business." He said viciously, with a frightening expression.
Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan did not retreat, but stood closely beside Huo Siqian, protecting him with their small bodies.
“We won’t let you take Huo Siqian away.” Lawrence Lu said firmly, his eyes full of determination.
Lin Xiaoxuan also nodded vigorously, her little face full of courage.
The man was a little annoyed when he saw the three children united, and he decided to take Huo Siqian away by force, and reached out to grab him again, but Lawrence Lu and Lin Xiaoxuan held Huo Siqian tightly and prevented him from succeeding.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, nearby staff heard the noise and rushed over. The man saw that the situation was not good, and he panicked and grabbed the three children and ran away madly.
