185 Sun Sicheng is going crazy
The government office did make some efforts, and half of the bailiffs were mobilized, but after a night, there was still no sign of the three children.
Sun Sicheng was going crazy.
Sun Wen and his friends were not much better off. Sun Siyuan and his wife cried their eyes out. They lost not only their precious daughter but also their only niece.
The niece didn't want to go out and let her second aunt spend money, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of her aunt and sister.
Ma cried so much that her eyes were almost blind. If she really lost the two girls from the Sun family in her hands, she might as well hang herself. There was no way she could survive.
Sun Wen ate some breakfast in a hurry and just casually brushed away his messy clothes. Where were the three children?
How could his little apprentice be so bold? The idea is not wrong, but you forgot that you are still a child, and Xiao Wu is only a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old. His mind is already in a mess, how can he take care of the surroundings?
"Young Master, you guys take a break and go to the government office to keep an eye on it. Wanli and his men should be here tomorrow.
Besides, our Ping An is not an ordinary child. With him around, Awu and the others will be much safer. I will take people to look for him in a farther place today."
Sun Sicheng shed tears: "Ping An is also my child, how could I bear to let him take risks? So many hours have passed, and I still don't know where he has been taken?"
He wanted to go to the government office and guard the city gate, but without the government office's order, the soldiers guarding the city would not let you check the carriage.
He thought it wouldn't happen so quickly, and the prefect was indeed very cooperative. But he didn't expect that in just a short while, the carriage had left the city ahead of schedule.
"Ah Wen, my heart aches when I think of the three children missing. I'm going to the government office right now. It's not enough to rely on our own people."
He couldn't imagine where the three beautiful children would be taken. If he couldn't find the children, he was afraid that he would never have a peaceful day in his life.
Sun Siyuan was no longer the well-mannered second son of Baicaotang. He looked extremely decadent. In order to have strength, he reluctantly ate a steamed bun, but he could not eat any more and followed Sun Yat-sen out the door.
Speaking of Ping An, he drove the carriage in the dark towards the east. He didn't consider whether the specific direction was correct or not, and he couldn't consider it.
Because that Ah Lai said that the owner of Lu would come to pick someone up in the second half of the night, and it was estimated that it would be midnight in an hour, so he didn't dare to stop.
There was no car on the road, Ping An held the reins, and couldn't run away like this. In the silent night, the sound of horse hooves was particularly loud. What if the owner of the road happened to come here to pick someone up? Wouldn't that be perfect?
Ping An took advantage of the dim light from the angry lamp, found a small forest sheltered from the wind, and set up a simple trap.
Only then did he carefully get on the carriage, checked that Awu and Xin'er were fine, and had no intention of giving the four little girls the antidote.
She slept quietly and didn't make any noise. He was sure that Awu would stop crying if he comforted her, but he was not sure about Xin'er and the other two little girls.
But Huo Zhi can be woken up.
He took out a bottle of antidote, opened the cork, and sniffed it under Huo Zhi's nose. After a while, Huo Zhi moved.
"Brother Huo, are you awake?"
Huo Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and saw a child calling him.
"Brother Huo, I am Ping An, the disciple of Master Baida. We met in Yuhang. Brother Huo, do you remember me?"
Huo Zhi sat up and through the light, he really saw that it was the extremely beautiful child, just a little older.
"Safety?"
"Brother Huo, it's me. I rescued you from under the carriage. We are now at the small forest."
Huo Zhi had already remembered that he had been caught: "Ping An, why are you here?"
"It's a long story." Ping An told the whole story, "Brother Huo, I heard them say that a boss named Lu brought people to pick you up in the middle of the night. It seems that he handed you over to someone."
"I know. When I was captured by them this morning, I overheard that it was a small tribe in the southwest that wanted to capture us. Because we are all descendants of the great medical masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they probably wanted to exchange us for medicinal materials. As for whether they would kill us later, I don't know."
"No wonder, Brother Huo, it's late at night and there's a lot of noise. Let's stay here all night and leave at dawn. It's late at night and my sense of direction is not very good. We are going back to Huainan Prefecture and I don't know if we are taking the right route."
Huo Zhi shook his head: "I'm not familiar with this place, and I don't know much about it."
"Brother Huo, why are you here in Huainan Prefecture? Why are you alone?"
Huo Zhi blushed, but luckily it was too late to be seen. "I was checking the family businesses along the way. I brought seven or eight people with me. I sent them to check the accounts in various places nearby. I waited in the city. Who knew that I had just had breakfast and was about to go to the inn to take a nap when they..."
Ping An sighed, "I was still too careless."
He opened the cabinet and took out the big package, which contained the looted spoils he had collected. The other party had packed up and was planning to flee after midnight, so he might not be able to find him in the dark.
I don’t know the exact amount, but I’m sure I’ll make a small fortune. Just the two horses are worth a lot of money.
While searching for these floating treasures, he also picked up two unopened boxes of snacks and took out one.
"Brother Huo, I took two boxes of snacks from the car before I left. You and I will eat one box, and I will leave one box for them."
When talking about food, Huo Zhi's stomach rumbled and he quickly took it. Normally, he didn't like to eat these.
There was no water in the car, and after taking a bite of the dry snack, I felt even thirstier.
Ping'an handed over a pear with a smile. There was a small backpack with all the things in it, and he brought them all out.
"So safe, I'm thirsty, eh, it's delicious."
"Puff", Ping'an blew out the lamp. There was only so much lamp oil left, but it could not last for a whole night. The light in the dark night was just a target.
The two of them huddled together outside the carriage. The night in early October was somewhat cold, and the only thin blanket on the train was used to cover the four girls.
Huo Zhi finished eating and felt revived. "Ping An, this road doesn't seem to be heading towards the city. You may be going in the wrong direction, but it doesn't matter. We will follow the road again at dawn. There are roads pointing to the city everywhere."
Ping An leaned towards him. If it were in modern times, he would definitely squeeze into the car. There is nothing wrong with squeezing into the car, but it is better not to do so in ancient times. There was nothing that could be done when Huo Zhi fainted before.
Fortunately, a quilt was brought to separate them, otherwise Awu would have been cold.
"There are two little girls. I don't know where they are from, but they look pretty well dressed."
Huo Zhi said indifferently: "No matter where she comes from, any sensible person should give you some life-saving gifts. I'm just afraid that they will wake up and cry in the middle of the night. It's annoying."
"Brother, don't be afraid. I'll give them another injection at the coma point later. I guarantee they'll fall into a deep sleep."
