Chapter 955 Cui Er and the others are missing...

Parents should let their children be quiet and play some quiet games.

The other children were bored, but little Cui'er was brave enough to ask Nanbao quietly, "Did you see your mother and daughter coming down from the stairwell during the day? Did you come down from the deck of the ship?"

Nanbao replied crisply, "Yes, my father is a guard upstairs, and my mother and I live downstairs."

Several children began to envy him. "Really? We heard outside that this ship is really huge. We haven't been on the deck yet, but it's said to be very magnificent. Is that true? The view from up there is so beautiful, and the sea breeze is so sweet..."

"It's a pity that they won't let us go up. We are poor people, and the people up there are all rich and powerful. They're afraid that if we offend them, they'll kick us off the boat."

An idea struck Xiao Cui'er. "It's late at night, and the nobles are all asleep. They're not playing on the deck, are they? Why don't we go out and take a look?"

"Okay! Okay!" Children are at their most curious age.

Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I decided to sneak out and see the world outside. It was both thrilling and exciting.

"But what if we are discovered? Will they kick us off the boat?" asked the timid child.

"Isn't Nanbao's father a guard on board? If we're discovered, as long as we don't offend anyone important, they won't kick us off the boat. Besides, we're on the sea now, so they'll probably kick us off only after we reach the shore!"

"Let's go, we'll go take a look and come back soon, as long as we don't get discovered. Nanbao, take us there! You must know the way..."

Everyone looked at Nanbao.

Nanbao was fearless, but she wasn't stupid. "No, it's very dangerous outside. What if we get lost without an adult? My mother won't let me go far, so I won't go. You'd better not go either! The wind is strong on the deck, and without an adult, the child might be blown into the sea and no one would know."

Xiao Cui'er snorted, "You're a coward! A wimp! You're making excuses. You don't dare to go up. We can go. You don't need to lead us. I know it must be that staircase. I checked before, and there are no guards there."

"I'm not a coward. It's dark there during the day and even darker at night. You'd better not go there." Nanbao still wanted to persuade them.

"You're not called Nianbao, you're called Shuangbao! We thought you were the best, you coward! We won't play with you anymore, we'll go by ourselves."

Xiao Cui'er complained to Nanbao, and quietly went to the stairwell with a few of her children.

Nanbao clenched her fists, she is not a coward!

she……

I looked back at Jiang Lianzhu. She should still be treating the little brother. The bed sheet was still covering him, and no one came out.

She gritted her teeth.

Caught up with Xiao Cui'er and the others.

If anything happens, she is strong and can protect her.

***

Jiang Lianzhu removed the needle from the leg. More than an hour had passed, and half of the people in the cabin were still awake and talking in low voices.

The sounds of cheerful children playing were gone.

Seeing the bed sheets being separated and Jiang Lianzhu coming out, the two brothers of the Wan family came over immediately.

He asked nervously, "Zhu Niang, what happened?"

"Xiao Lang is asleep. I just gave him an acupuncture treatment on his leg today. It worked quite well. Hopefully, the fetal toxins in his body can be eliminated. My husband has some medicine. When he comes to see me tomorrow, I'll ask him to get some medicine for Xiao Lang. He'll recover faster."

The two Wan brothers were overjoyed, "That's great! Thank you so much!"

Jiang Lianzhu looked around. "Where's my daughter? Hasn't she come back yet?"

Wan Dian said, "Hey, wasn't it just a while ago? Wasn't he still there playing with a group of kids? Why is there no one here?"

They were just thinking about Wan Xiaolang who was being treated inside, and didn't pay much attention to Nanbao.

Wan Qi apologized, "It's okay, Zhu Niang, don't worry, I'll go look for it."

He only cared about his own children, and when he was distracted, he neglected to look after Zhu Niang's children.

It was their fault.

As he was speaking, Nanbao appeared in a panic from somewhere.

She ran out of the aisle like a nimble little loach.

Pounced over.

"Mother, mother, Xiao Cui'er and the others are missing..."

Jiang Lianzhu had a bad feeling and asked in a steady voice, "What's going on?"

Nanbao said, "Xiao Cui'er took Dao Wa, Fei Zai and the others secretly climbed up to the deck from the stairwell to play. They didn't listen to me and insisted on going. I chased them and asked them to come back. It was dark outside and they disappeared. Later, I found Dao Wa. Dao Wa said that Xiao Cui'er was captured by a strange hand in the dark. I went to chase them, but I only heard Xiao Cui'er shouting for help. I couldn't tell where she was shouting, and I was scared, so I came back. Mother, go save Xiao Cui'er, there is a monster in the dark!"

Jiang Lianzhu first praised her daughter, "Our daughter is great. She wasn't impulsive and knew to come back for help! Good girl! When you're in danger and you're not sure what to do, come back to your mother for help. This is always the right thing to do!"

Nanbao nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Jiang Lianzhu said decisively, "Let's go find Xiao Cui'er."

The two brothers of the Wan family also heard it nearby, and they felt obliged to say, "Zhu Niang, you are a woman, it is dangerous outside, you stay here, let us two brothers go."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "It's okay, I can go ask my husband for help."

With that said, the Wan brothers had no choice but to let her go.

Mrs. Wan also heard it. "What should I do? Should I go and inform Xiao Cui'er's parents?"

Wan Qi said, "Okay, you go inform them. However, they are all ordinary people. Even if they know what happened, it will be useless. Their child ran away on his own initiative. If they make a fuss, the steward might kick the whole family off the ship. It would be best if we bring the child back intact and don't alert the steward of the Hope. Otherwise, we can't hide it..."

This is from the perspective of ordinary people.

Mrs. Wan said, "Forget about that. Go find the child first. I'll go inform their family and they'll decide what to do. Be careful when you go up to look for the child."

Everyone acted separately.

Nanbao led Jiang Lianzhu and the Wan brothers up the stairs.

This is the route taken by Xiao Cui'er and the others.

The deck hatch above is not locked and can be entered and exited at will.

It was pitch black outside, and the light on the deck was insufficient. There were only a few wind lanterns hanging there, and the main lighting came from the navigation lights on the top of the ship. The navigation lights had a very large illumination range, and most of the backlit areas could not be seen at all.

Or the light is very weak.

The Hope is particularly large, and exiting from this deck leads to the stern of the ship.

Jiang Lianzhu asked Nanbao, "Where did Xiao Cui'er and the others disappear?"
