"Baozi, you could have escaped by yourself just now. Why did you come back?"
Tang Yuan saw Baozi almost making it to the other house, where there were adults who could protect him.
But in the end, Baozi came back and was caught with them by the traffickers.
Tang Yuan couldn't understand.
Baozi pinched Tang Yuan's nose.
"With you and Auntie's silly faces, how could you two escape if I didn't come back? Only by me coming back can we escape together. Just the two of you, I bet you would end up sold into the deep mountains sooner or later."
Baozi's contemptuous tone amused Tang Yuan, making him smile widely.
Baozi covered his mouth, listening cautiously outside.
He slowly released his hand.
"Keep your voice down. If we alert them, we'll be tied up again, and it will be even harder to run."
