Chapter 94 Rescue
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
Luo Xiao was so scared that he closed his eyes and hugged the person tightly in his arms.
But no one spoke for a long time.
He opened his eyes a little and looked over, almost thinking he was hallucinating, and exclaimed in surprise, "Mother?"
Zhu Mingqing was relieved to see that both of them were safe and sound!
She said, "Don't stand there, let's go!"
Luo Xiao burst into tears: "Wow, you're finally here. Baozhong and I have been waiting for you for so long!"
Zhu Mingqing: ... "Stop crying, and leave with me!"
Luo Xiao choked up and said embarrassedly: "I...my legs are numb."
Zhu Mingqing had no choice but to pick him up, then picked up Xiao Baozhong and realized that the temperature was not right.
"He has a fever?"
Luo Xiao nodded quickly: "Yes, we must find a doctor quickly!"
He stretched his body and stomped his feet hard until he gradually regained his strength, then followed Zhu Mingqing out.
Along the way, Luo Xiao watched his mother dodge the patrolling guards.
The two of them walked and stopped from time to time, and she did not forget to use a wet handkerchief to wipe Baozhong's body.
His mouth opened into a circle.
If it was not certain that his mother had never been here, he would have suspected that this farm was his own property.
This is too familiar.
Zhu Mingqing stopped only after he climbed over the wall and walked some distance.
Luo Xiao also sat down on the ground and took a deep breath to relieve his tension.
finally--
Escaped!
Suddenly, there was a noise in the tree ahead.
Luo Xiao's face changed: "Someone is here, run!"
Seeing him pale with fear, Zhu Mingqing said helplessly, "Open your eyes and look, who is that?!"
Luo Xiao: ???
He turned his head and trembled his fingers: "Why is he here?"
Could it be that he was also arrested?
So, did his mother save him before she came to save herself?
Luo Xiao looked sad and angry as he glared at the other person.
Zhu Mingqing tapped him on the forehead with a curved finger. "Alright, Luo Tian came with me to save you. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're acting so suspicious. How can that be right?"
Luo Xiao pointed at Luo Tian in disbelief, then pointed at himself and said, "Him? Come to save me?"
"What? You don't believe it?" Zhu Mingqing glanced at him indifferently.
Luo Xiao immediately shook his head tactfully, "No..."
Luo Tian went forward and hugged him: "Third brother, I'm so glad you're okay. Everyone has been worried about you these days."
Luo Xiao was immediately deeply moved and almost cried: "You are worthy of being a good brother."
Zhu Mingqing: "Let's go, let's leave here first."
…
After returning to the city, Zhu Mingqing did not bring Luo Xiao and Baozhong back to the inn. Instead, he took Baozhong to see a doctor and arranged a separate inn for him.
Zhu Mingqing put the sleeping Baozhong on the bed, covered him with a quilt, turned around and poured himself a cup of tea, which he drank in one gulp to quench his thirst.
Luo Xiao's stomach was deflated with hunger. He picked up the cakes on the table and started eating. "They are really cruel. They didn't give us anything to eat or drink all day."
Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed across Zhu Mingqing's eyes.
Luo Tian was quick-witted and immediately called the store owner to serve a table full of food.
"Xiaotian'er, you are still good to me!"
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When are we leaving? I don't want to stay in this shabby place any longer."
Zhu Mingqing raised his lips slightly: "Why, are you willing to be tied up and don't want to make those people suffer?"
When talking about this, Luo Xiao became excited.
But he soon lost his temper again: "How can I retaliate in this state?"
…
The next morning, Zhu Mingqing returned to the inn, and Liang He immediately asked about the progress.
She concealed the fact that she had rescued the person: "Give me two more days."
Before he could say anything, Zhu Mingqing said directly, "Master Liang, believe me."
Liang He sighed helplessly and nodded imperceptibly.
If the person still hasn't come out on the last day, he will definitely not wait any longer.
Zhu Mingqing immediately called Wen Baolu out and came to the inn where Luo Xiao lived. He went upstairs and stopped at the door of a room.
Wen Baolu sensed something and looked at Zhu Mingqing.
Seeing the other party nod slightly, she pushed the door open carefully. When she saw Baozhong jumping around on the bed, her eyes immediately turned red.
"elder brother."
Hearing the door open, Baozhong turned his head and looked over with a surprised expression.
He was about to run down, but was caught by Luo Xiao: "Wear shoes, be careful not to catch a cold."
"Baozhong." Wen Baolu hurried forward and pulled the man into his arms, almost suffocating little Baozhong.
"Brother, I can't breathe."
Wen Baolu wiped away his tears, smiled, and let go, then looked him up and down again: "Are you scared? Are you hurt? Did they mistreat you?"
Baozhong also answered obediently, "Fortunately, Brother Xiao was with me. Baozhong had a fever last night..."
Wen Baolu hurriedly touched his forehead: "What about now?"
Luo Xiao couldn't help but interrupt him: "You ask questions as soon as you come in. Let Baozhong finish the medicine first, okay?"
Noticing that his body temperature was still normal, Wen Baolu smiled sheepishly and said, "I'll do it."
After feeding Baozhong the medicine and coaxing him to sleep, Luo Tian stayed by his side while the three of them went to the outer room to talk.
Three people sat opposite each other at a round table. Wen Baolu poured tea and placed it in front of them.
He first picked up a cup and looked at Luo Xiao: "This time, you took the blame for me and protected Bao Zhong. I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you, Brother Xiao."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
To be honest, Luo Xiao actually felt regretful the moment he was taken away. It had nothing to do with him, but he suffered in vain.
But later, when he was pressed to answer whether he knew any news about the Ming family, he realized that it was not him who was implicated, but Brother Wen.
He also stood up and replied, "Brother Wen, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
Wen Baolu looked at Zhu Mingqing again, and was about to speak when she interrupted him: "There's no need to be so polite between us. You probably don't know why those people are targeting you, right?"
He looked anxious: "Why?"
Zhu Mingqing said calmly, "Let me ask you, have you ever told anyone about selling grain for the Ming family?"
Wen Baolu immediately shook his head: "I know the pros and cons of this very well, and I have never..."
"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly. Especially after you got to Zhending City, who did you meet and what did you say..."
Zhu Mingqing interrupted the other party.
Then I saw his expression change from confusion to understanding.
She asked, "Do you remember?"
Wen Baolu swallowed hard and nodded. "I told my aunt that I had money, earned from selling grain for others. But I never mentioned the Ming family. I was careless."
Zhu Mingqing sighed: "The responsibility is not entirely yours. The Feng family is eyeing them covetously. Even if you are not there, there are others."
Wen Baolu shook his head, then slapped himself in the face in frustration.
Let you trust everyone, let you be careless...
