Chapter 194 It’s really hateful
When Gu Xiaoxi turned around, she didn't see the group of people, but she saw her uncle, so she followed him carefully.
"Uncle!" she shouted.
Gu An covered Xiaoxi's mouth with his hand and pointed to the yard in front.
Gu Xiaoxi looked in the direction of the finger and saw four men wandering around in the yard.
The yard door was opened, and one of the men entered a room. After a while, the man came out carrying a sack.
Soon, the other three men came out from other rooms. They met in the yard and then left quietly.
Gu Xiaoxi took a piece of masking cloth from her body and gave it to her uncle, then covered her own face and jumped out first.
Because she could see that there was a child in the bag.
The world is going downhill. It's abhorrent that people kidnap children in this way!
Seeing Xiaoxi take action, Gu An also followed suit. After taking down the four people, Gu Xiaoxi opened the sack and saw an unconscious child lying inside.
Gu Xiaoxi picked up the child and checked him, and after making sure that the child was fine, she handed him over to her uncle.
"I'll take him to the village head, you take care of them." Gu An looked at Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and pressed one of them, "Tell me, who asked you to come?"
"No, no one?" The man stammered and couldn't say anything.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that this wouldn't work, so she could only knock out the other three and hypnotize the one who was awake.
From this man, they learned that someone in the city was offering a reward of five taels of silver for each child, so these bandits started stealing children everywhere for money.
Why is there a reward for capturing the child? Is there someone practicing some so-called magic?
Oh my god!
Those so-called magic skills are so unscrupulous, it's really terrible.
After waiting for a while, Gu An called Yang Lizheng over, and several other clan leaders also came over.
Yang Lizheng didn't say anything after hearing this, as if he already knew something?
Several old clan leaders were all frowning. It was simply too horrible to sneak into someone else's house in the middle of the night to steal a child.
They have children at home, so they have to keep a dog at home in the future.
"These people are so brazen that they even steal children from my home?" The old patriarch of the Ma family has been sweating profusely since hearing the news.
"Yes, these people are so powerful, it's hard to guard against them!" The old patriarch of the Luo family also had a headache.
The old patriarch of the Zhang family looked at the old patriarch of the Gu family. Neither of them said anything and both looked at Yang Lizheng.
Yang Lizheng didn't want to get involved in these matters at all. After getting the stamp from above, he would be transferred to the town. He didn't want to get involved in any trouble at all.
Gu Xiaoxi seemed to see through his thoughts and deliberately said, "Yang Lizheng, you really have to make the decision for us. How can we live if something like this happens?"
"I can't do anything about it. This kind of thing is happening not only in our village, but also in other villages. You guys should discuss this matter with your own clansmen and figure out how to avoid the risk." Yang Lizheng simply stopped pretending to avoid getting himself into trouble.
Hearing this, the old patriarch of the Ma family said angrily: "Yang Lizheng, are you not going to take care of it?"
"It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't." Yang Lizheng said and turned away.
"You!" The old patriarch of the Luo family wanted to say something, but the other person had already walked away.
Patriarch Zhang looked at Yang Lizheng's departing figure and sighed, "Forget it, they really don't want to care. Just mind your own business!"
The elders of the Gu, Luo, Ma, and Zhang families were all troubled.
Gu Xiaoxi and Gu An hid nearby to reduce their presence.
The old clan leader Gu asked Yuntian to send the child back to that family, and then they all went back. These matters could only be discussed after gathering all the clan members together for a meeting tomorrow.
As for these human traffickers, let the younger generation beat them up and throw them into the woods outside the village.
Gu Xiaoxi and Gu An followed the old patriarch Gu back home. The old patriarch Gu had a worried look on his face.
The thing he least wanted to see finally happened. Now the border town is not in chaos, but here is.
It’s no wonder. This year there was a severe disaster and many places were short of food. If the court did nothing, there would be chaos.
"Don't worry too much, old patriarch. It's useless to think too much." Gu Xiaoxi was afraid that the old patriarch was too old and his body would not be able to bear it if he continued to worry like this.
"Xiaoxi, you have a quick mind. Think about how to make better arrangements?" The old patriarch Gu looked at Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi shook her head: "I really can't think of any good solution."
Gu Yuntian looked at his father and said, "Dad, please don't make things difficult for Xiaoxi. It's such a big matter. Let's hear what the tribe members think tomorrow."
"That's right!" Patriarch Gu thought his eldest son's words made sense.
Gu Xiaoxi and Gu An didn't stay here for long and went back after a while.
When they got home, they were so worried that they couldn't sleep, so they sat in the kitchen, warmed themselves by the fire and talked.
"Xiaoxi, the village has become like this. Can you take care of those patients?" Gu An felt that he should send those patients away.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that her uncle's consideration was correct. She nodded and said, "I'll tell them tomorrow to go back and recuperate. At least the city will be much safer than here."
"Go to sleep. Such a big thing has happened. Let's discuss it with your parents tomorrow." After saying this, Gu An yawned tiredly.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep too." Gu Xiaoxi also felt very tired, so she went back to sleep after saying that.
…
The next day at breakfast, Gu Xiaoxi told everyone what happened last night.
When Chai heard this, she said anxiously, "Then, what should we do now?"
"Everyone move to my house. My house is big and has a lot of yards. Let's move in today!" Chen Qinian made a suggestion.
Chen Tingshen also nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's all move to the city. There are places to live in the city. Don't worry."
Gu Xiaoxi immediately refused after hearing this: "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Chen. This is not just a matter for our family, it's a matter for the entire village. We can't leave now.
As for you, you need to leave as soon as possible. After all, you still need to recover and find a quiet place."
"Xiaoxi is right. Now that something like this has happened in the village, we can't keep you here. You should pack up and go back to the city today." Chai also spoke.
Seeing that his aunt was about to drive them away, Chen Qinian said, "No, I won't leave. I want to stay here."
"No, you have to listen to me. After this period, I welcome you to stay with me anytime, including Ma Weiwei.
The current chaos is probably just beginning. It will get even more chaotic when it gets colder. You have to stay with your loved ones so that they can feel at ease. "Gu Xiaoxi couldn't keep any of them. If something happened in such a chaotic world, it would be a big deal, and she couldn't bear the consequences.
