To prevent these guys from sneaking out again, Xie Lin locked the small room once more.
He shook his head and went back inside, intending to hold the little girl and take a nap, when he heard anxious cries from outside.
"Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie, wake up, your father-in-law is here to see you."
Han Shuyun's heart pounded; she had a bad feeling.
She hasn't been home for several days, and she doesn't know if her husband has returned to the island.
After Xie Lin came out, Xiao Dan gave her the answer.
"Xiao Xie, the General Military Region just called. Four doctors who went to the disaster area to treat patients were kidnapped, including He Chaoyang. Witnesses said it was Curly Hair who did it."
"What?" Han Shuyun was terrified. She had been feeling strangely uneasy all night, and now she knew it was because of this.
"Are they alright?"
"Doctors smelled a strong odor of blood on them, which means that they must have injured their own people and that's why they took the doctors hostage. They must be safe until they can treat the patients."
The rest is self-explanatory, and Xiao Dan doesn't want to say it aloud.
"Xiao Xie, they were all armed. There were few soldiers guarding the temporary patient accommodation area at the time, which is why they were able to succeed."
"The General Military Region has already dispatched rescue teams. The boats and weapons are ready. You must immediately lead your team off the island and make sure all the doctors are safely rescued."
He looked back; thankfully, the children were still asleep...
Before I could even finish feeling relieved, two little guys came out from behind me, yawning incessantly.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Ugly, with his eyes half-closed and two tufts of hair sticking up on his head, asked in a daze.
Han Shuyun remembered the last time the little ones insisted on going on a mission with her, so she quickly hugged the two little ones.
"Ugly, little teacher, be good, go back to sleep. You have class tomorrow. Children won't grow tall if they don't sleep."
She was anxious; her husband's situation was critical, and the other party was an armed thug. She was worried...
The little girl sensed her mother's low spirits and worry, and nestled obediently in her arms.
"Okay, Mom, let's go back to sleep. Dad will be fine."
He had just heard that his father was in trouble and that his brother had gone to rescue him. No matter how fierce the enemy's firepower was, it wouldn't be enough. He trusted his brother.
Mom is pregnant with a little sister, so she shouldn't be too anxious, as it's bad for her health.
Chou Chou glanced at the door across the street, hummed in agreement, and went back to the room with Han Shuyun.
The noise was so loud, but Shishi didn't wake up. She must be sleeping in the space. She'll wake up when her brother lets her out, and then she can sneak out.
It's best for him to go. If anyone gets hurt, he can be saved as long as he's still breathing. He's not there to cause trouble.
Han Shuyun looked back every few steps, saying, "Xiao Xie, I'm entrusting your uncle to you."
God bless us, everyone must come back safely.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will bring Uncle back safely."
"I believe you, and you all need to be careful."
Xiao Dan gestured with his chin toward his room and whispered, "Hurry up before Shi Shi wakes up."
Xie Lin outwardly agreed, but inwardly he smiled bitterly. That guy had already woken up and, as soon as he got out of bed, he put his hands on his hips and mocked Xie Da for turning into a bald donkey.
Now, with insects numbered one, two, and three on their heads, along with the eldest and second eldest, the family of three would sit together on Tuesdays, cracking sunflower seeds and watching Xie Da wash himself clean.
Guagua is very considerate; she was rubbing the eldest dog's fur while also trimming it.
And its noisy nature is also spot on; its little mouth keeps chattering away, making the space quite lively right now.
Let the little girl out; she'll definitely go with us.
He chuckled twice and went into the house, gently closing the door and slipping into the space to explain to the person how serious the situation was.
Knowing that you can't coax someone to stay home, it's better not to waste time.
Then Xiao Dan was met by two fully equipped guys.
His precious daughter was as energetic as ever, not at all like someone who had just woken up. With a small backpack on her left and a small water bottle on her right, she waved to him with a bright smile.
"Good morning, Dad."
Xiao Dan: ......
You know it's the middle of the night, but you're so energetic, I thought it was broad daylight.
Xie Lin suppressed a laugh, "Dad, I'll keep a close eye on Shishi."
Xiao Dan knows his daughter too well; there's no way to stop her. He can only tell her to stick close to Xie Lin.
He suddenly realized that the little girl would definitely be one of Xie Lin's members on any future missions.
This clingy nature of hers is really a headache.
How can you not even have this basic trust in this stinky egg?
Does that mean that Stinky Egg will abandon her and run away from this earth?
As I stepped out of the courtyard gate, a small lump was squatting there.
Look closely.
Great, another clingy one.
Poetry sticks to rotten eggs, Ugly sticks to poetry.
The trio can't be separated.
Chou Chou chuckled, "Brother, if Xiao Shi doesn't go, Auntie won't sleep well. He wants to stay with her."
Xiao Dan thought to himself, "If you two could be as filial as Xiao Shi, I wouldn't have to worry about you."
He gave them a few more words of advice, still feeling a little uneasy, and watched the three of them run towards the back beach.
He sighed. "Ah, these are truly troubled times."
There were always a lot of things to do before, but this year there are especially many.
Lu Fan and his group of seven were not surprised to see Shi Shi and Chou Chou, and even asked why Xiao Shi had not come.
Having worked together before, they had already vaguely sensed that these three were not simple people; otherwise, given Xie Lin's personality, he wouldn't have allowed the two to follow him.
Some things can't be said openly, so it's better to keep them to yourself and pretend you don't know. It's better for everyone.
"Brother Lin, the commander said the thugs ran southwest on the other side of the river. They were injured, so they couldn't have gone too far. If they wanted to hide and avoid being exposed, they would either be underground or in the mountains."
"Based on the location of the temporary survivor settlement, our ultimate goal should be this mountain."
Lu Fan pointed to the circled points on the map.
