This area is full of wheat fields. It had just rained, and the yellow dirt road was left with two deep ruts by the vans whizzing past. The road was rutted and the wheels were in danger of sliding into the wheat fields beside the road at any time.
Sun Ting leaned against the window, watching with fear all the way.
If the car got stuck in the field, all their efforts would be wasted.
Zhong Huier was not worried at all. Jiang Xi had given her too many surprises today. No matter what happened next, she would not be startled again.
Sure enough, the van drove smoothly out of the village and turned onto a cement road.
Zhong Huier was not very good at reading maps, so the ten-year-old boy took over. The half-grown boy had a strong sense of direction, and under his guidance, Jiang Xi drove the car crookedly all the way out of Gui City.
The moment we left Gui City, there was a burst of loud cheers in the carriage.
Sun Ting jumped up and down, "I'm free! I'm free!"
The boy sat in the passenger seat, covering his eyes and crying silently.
Zhong Huier cried with joy.
The little kids seemed to understand but not quite, and were all confused and happy.
Jiang Xi saw it from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile. Her long and curly eyelashes seemed to bring out a starlight in the deep night.
What happened next was as smooth as if by God.
Jiang Xi drove directly to the police station in the neighboring city and handed all these little kids over to the police, asking them to help find their parents. Then he left.
"Aren't you going to wait here?"
Zhong Huier looked at her in surprise, and the hint of concern in her words made Jiang Xi's eyes smile.
She had no intention of investigating the reason why this person had howled in his past life. In extreme circumstances, people sometimes do things they themselves would never expect. Moreover, in this life, she had also used Zhong Huier, in a rather dishonorable way, thus ensuring her own safe escape—let it be even.
"No."
Jiang Xi waved her hand and walked out with big strides. She had borrowed the police station's phone before, but she couldn't get through to her parents, so she had to leave a message at her uncle's house. Now she couldn't wait any longer, otherwise, by the time her parents received the message, it would probably take a lot of time to go back and forth, so she might as well go home directly.
Sun Ting naturally stayed in the police station and waited for her parents to pick her up.
"Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang..."
Jiang Xi took big steps, and by the time he heard the call from behind, he had already walked far away from the police station.
She turned around and saw the boy who had been silent just now chasing her out, his hands on his knees and panting heavily. When he saw her turn around, he smiled, his clean face as delicate as a glass doll, and his voice was clear:
"Sister Jiang, my name is Gu Yunfei, remember that!"
Jiang Xi went to the toilet first.
Dagui dozed off on the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall. Two days of consecutive night watches had exhausted the young man. Hearing some noise, he lifted his eyelids and looked outside. Seeing it was Jiang Xi, he muttered something under his breath, turned his head and fell into deep sleep again.
Jiang Xi knew that she had been going to the toilet at a fixed time and place every night recently - and it worked.
Dagui must have thought that her trip was just like any other.
Jiang Xi tiptoed around the eight-immortals table, came to the corner of the stairs, and went into the bathroom.
The car keys and map were still wrapped in layers of plastic bags, floating safely in the toilet tank.
Jiang Xi reached out and fished it out, gently opened the bag, put the key, map and a dozen or so Big Unity notes in his pocket and walked out. When he passed the Eight Immortals Table, he glanced at Dagui.
Dagui was sleeping soundly, his snoring was rhythmic and hearty - it was obvious that he was very tired.
Jiang Xi didn't disturb him and entered the room quietly. This time, she didn't close the door completely, leaving a gap for light to pass through. Zhong Huier leaned against the door and saw her come in, "Is it done?"
Jiang Xi lowered his voice very low, patted his trouser pocket and pointed outside the door.
Zhong Huier understood what he meant and was about to leave, but was stunned by Jiang Xi's next move.
She woke up the children in the room one by one, starting with Sun Ting and the boy, until all the children were awake, and patiently fed each of them some water.
Jiang Xi placed his index finger on his lips and whispered:
"Do you remember the game Sister Jiang played with you guys a few days ago?"
"Let's get started now."
The children's eyes sparkled in the darkness.
Jiang Xi watched them stand up obediently one by one without making any sound, and then Xiaoling led the team to line up in front of him. Xiaoling was a little older and vaguely understood what game Sister Jiang was going to play with them.
The whole process happened silently.
Sun Ting stared at Jiang Xi blankly, the words she had just said in her ear echoing in her mind - Jiang Xi said he wanted to take her out, how to get her out?
"Are you crazy? So many people?"
Zhong Huier asked through gritted teeth.
When Jiang Xi had discussed the possibility of collaborating with her, he had mentioned that he would bring some people with him. Zhong Huier had assumed that they would only take the girl surnamed Sun, and at most the humiliated little boy. They knew what was going on, so if anything went wrong along the way, they could easily cover it up.
