Zuo Youcheng was a little envious. He thought that Zhou's father and mother could just enjoy their lives in the future without having to worry about their children anymore.

My own daughter-in-law is sick, and I don’t even know what my daughter is like.

After Ling Ran controlled the people, he called the captain and reported the matter in code.

Tang Ganwen asked him to immediately interrogate everyone except the gang leader, find out the address, and report immediately. He was there ready to set off at any time.

It only took Ling Ran two hours to get the address from the suspect. After making a phone call to report, he asked the director to keep the suspect under guard.

When he returned home, Dong Yunrong asked him what happened.

"The acrobats this time might be from a criminal gang. Considering the person who spotted the lion dance, it was Zuo Heng's father..."

After listening to this, Dong Yunrong sighed softly, "Zuo Heng's family is quite pitiful, but fortunately they met Xiang Xiang."

"Yes! This time, Zuo Heng will be able to repay you even if he works like a slave."

I can only try my best to be the little girl's manager.

"Did your captain go to the rescue?"

"Yes! I've already gone. I was afraid of missing something, so I specially arranged a plane to fly over first."

"We should hurry up. Yang City is very close. If these people don't go back, they will become suspicious."

Tang Ganwen broke open several doors and was so angry when he saw the scene inside.

Beast! No, worse than a beast.

So many boys and girls were locked in cages with a bowl of water outside. The children inside were all skinny.

Many children still had whip marks on their bodies, and when they saw Tang Ganwen coming in, they were so scared that they shrank into the deepest corner.

"Zuo Zhen? Is Zuo Zhen here? I'm here to save you. The bad guys have been caught."

When the children in the cage heard this, they immediately burst into tears.

"Mom, I want to find mom."

"Where's my brother? I want my brother."

Only in the innermost cage, there was a little girl about ten years old, lying weakly in the cage, looking at the roof above the cage.

Who should I look for? Mom or Dad? I have a brother too. Where is my brother?

Tang Ganwen walked over to the little girl and squatted down. "What's your name?"

"Zuo, Zhen." The little girl was barely breathing.

"Wait, don't be afraid. I'll carry you out to find your mother. Your mother has bad legs and feet, so I didn't let her in."

"good!"

Tang Ganwen carried her out and walked out the door, ordering his men to go in quickly to rescue people, and asked the doctor to come and treat the girl in his arms immediately.

The doctor checked and said, "He's starving and severely malnourished."

"oh!"

Tang Ganwen handed Zuo Zhen to her mother Fang Yuehong, "Can you hold her?"

Fang Yuehong wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I can hold her."

"Okay, be careful and hold on tight."

After putting the little girl in Fang Yuehong's arms, he ordered people to cook porridge quickly so that everyone could drink the hot porridge.

Fang Yuehong hugged her daughter whom she hadn't seen for two years, "Zhenzhen, Mommy is sorry for you!"

Zuo Zhen shook her head gently, "Mom, no, cry, where's Dad?"

"The uncle just now said that it was because your father was rescued that he knew about this place. They will send us to find your father."

"good!"

As soon as the hot porridge was ready, Tang Ganwen scooped some rice soup over and said, "Zuo Zhen, drink some. Drink it up so you can have the strength to go find your dad."

Zuo Zhen leaned in her mother's arms and drank half a bowl of rice soup from Tang Ganwen's hand.

Fang Yuehong hugged her distressedly, tears streaming down her face. It had been two years, but she was still not as bad as she was two years ago.

"Okay, stop crying and keep your strength, otherwise how are you going to come with us?"

"Okay!" Fang Yuehong wiped away her tears.

At noon on the 17th day of the first lunar month, Fang Yuehong and her daughter were sent to Zhou's house in the market town.

When she saw Zuo Heng, Fang Yuehong burst into tears. "Heng'er, I'm glad you're still here. Mommy is finally not afraid to meet the Zuo family's ancestors anymore."

"Mom!" Zuo Heng hugged his mother and cried bitterly. His mother was so thin and was leaning on a homemade crutch, like an old woman in her fifties or sixties.

"Brother? My brother?" Zuo Zhen leaned in her father's arms and looked at Zuo Heng.

Zuo Heng raised his head while lying in his mother's arms, "Sister, Zhenzhen."

"Brother!" Zuo Zhen threw herself into her brother's arms. "Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere but I can't find you! Maomao in the cage next to me said he has a very strong brother who will definitely be able to rescue him. I also want my brother to rescue me, but you never come. I've been waiting for a long, long time, but you never come!"

Zuo Heng hugged his skinny sister and said, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't know you were still alive. I was too stupid."

When Zuo Youcheng heard the word "cage", he immediately understood that the children who were brought into the house for individual training were all locked up in cages! No wonder their parents were not allowed to see them!

"Zhenzhen, blame Dad. It's all Dad's fault for trusting others so easily. He led the three of us into a den of wolves!"

"No, don't blame Dad. Dad didn't want to do that either."

The family of four cried for a long time.

Zhou Xiang and his mother cooked millet porridge and steamed egg custard and brought them into the south room.

"Aunt Fang, Sister Zhenzhen, come and eat. We'll have plenty of time to talk later. Don't worry, filling your stomach is the most important thing."

"Okay! Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome."

Only after drinking hot porridge and eating egg custard did the mother and daughter feel warm. Even though the room was warm, their thinness meant that they had not experienced the warmth of winter in the past two years.

"Are you hot? Don't take off your clothes, just cover yourself up. I'm already boiling water. Take a shower later and then go straight to bed. When you wake up, a beautiful tomorrow will be waiting for you."

Zhou wanted to stop Zuo Zhen from taking off her clothes.

"I don't have any clothes to change into. This set of clothes was bought by the uncle who saved us. What should I do if it gets wet with sweat?"

"Don't worry, I have some clothes. As long as you don't mind that they're old, that's fine!"

Zuo Zhen shook her head, "I don't mind, thank you, sister."

After taking a bath in the south room, the mother and daughter both obediently got on the kang and had a good sleep.

Zhou wanted to leave and give the south room to the four members of the Zuo family.

Zuo Zhen held her brother's hand tightly, so Zuo Heng moved a stool and sat on the kang to accompany her.

Although Fang Yuehong got into bed, she still felt like she was dreaming. It had been two years, and she had almost forgotten what a warm bed felt like. Her injured leg no longer ached.

"Dad, am I dreaming?"

Zuo Youcheng understood her thoughts. He was just like that the night before last and thought he was dreaming.

"I wasn't dreaming. We were saved. It was that little girl who saved us. She also saved Xiao Heng..."

Fang Yuehong listened to her husband talking about what happened that night, and how Heng'er was rescued and raised by the little girl.

"His father, that girl, she, she treats Heng'er?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. He's just like a brother and a friend. Her childhood friend is the one who likes her. He's friends with Heng'er. Don't say such nonsense in the future."

"Okay, okay, I get it. I just didn't expect there are such kind people in this world who don't ask for anything in return."
