"Aunt, you are too serious. Fortunately, the result is good now. Let's be more careful in the future and don't mention such things anymore."
After they returned to the inn, Yan Dashan and his friends took their belongings, checked out of the hotel, and waited in the lobby for Yang Huaitian to pick them up.
As a result, two carriages arrived, and Yan Fuping, Yan Shitou, and Yan Mutou all came. Yan Shitou had a lame leg, and when he saw Erchu and his mother limping towards him, he hugged them for a long time.
"We were so scared! We came to the town yesterday but were not allowed in. We came back early this morning to get the news, and we didn't get in until the town was unsealed. We found out the child was found. My heart is still pounding." Yan Fuping looked at Fang. "Old lady, are you okay?"
Fang nodded with tears in her eyes, "It's okay."
"Let's go back quickly. The child has suffered so much and needs to go back and have a good rest."
"Yes, yes, Fuping. They didn't get much sleep yesterday because they were looking for the child. Let's go back first and talk about it later."
Yan Fuping and his son looked at Yan Bangfa and the others with gratitude and said, "Go back, then go back. Let's go back and talk."
Chunxiao looked over and saw that it was Shufeng who was driving the carriage. She hadn't noticed her just now. "I knew you would come and join in the fun."
"It's not my decision to come this time. It was my grandma who asked me to bring my uncle and the others here. My grandma and the others were worried that something might have happened to you, so they asked me to come and get some information."
Several people boarded the carriage, with the Fang family taking one leg and Shuwen driving for them. Chunxiao was driven by Huaitian, and once she got in, she felt really sleepy. Fortunately, there was a blanket in the carriage, so she draped it over herself and prepared to sleep against the carriage.
"Auntie, you can't sleep like this. It's easy to catch a cold. We'll be there in less than an hour. Why don't you sleep after we get home?"
"Let your aunt lean back for a while. Not to mention her, I also want to sleep now." Yan Dashan leaned against the wall of the car. He was really sleepy after tossing and turning for so long.
"Was it dark when you returned yesterday? I heard your grandfather say that you were the last ones to go out."
"Yeah, we're lucky. We just finished the inspection, and then they checked a few more people and blocked us from leaving. Those two soldiers were really strict yesterday. They even lifted up the covers of our chairs and asked Changxing a lot of questions."
"The officials in our town are all good. They are serious and responsible." Chunxiao smiled with her eyes closed. "When something like this happens, I'm afraid of those who just do things perfunctorily."
"We held a meeting in the village yesterday. We were originally planning to organize people to look for the man, but when we got to town, they wouldn't let us in, no matter how much we begged. We had no choice but to wait for news. Grandpa Fuping and Uncle Shitou were really worried today, so grandma had me bring them here. If we had known there was good news, we should have come sooner. You don't know how worried everyone in the village is, afraid they'd never find the man..."
Chunxiao was really sleepy. She fell asleep while Shufeng was talking. She didn't know when they arrived at the village. She only knew that when she woke up, it was already night and the room was pitch black. She called out in a daze before she slowly remembered that she had fallen asleep in the carriage.
"Miss, would you like some water?" Xiaohua ran over with her clothes draped over her.
"Xiaohua?" She sat up. "Why is it dark already?"
"Miss, Brother Dashan said you're too tired and told you to rest and stop making noise. It's only been dark for a short time now, so you must be hungry. I'll make you some dumpling soup."
Chunxiao couldn't sleep now. "I'm getting up."
"Miss, it's already dark now, what are you doing up?"
"I can't sleep. I can't just sit there and watch." Chun Xiao smiled, got dressed, and just as she stood up, she smelled the scent of burning firewood. "Are you lighting the stove? It smells so strong?"
"No!" Xiaohua sniffed. "Miss, it seems to smell like firewood. I went out to take a look. As soon as the two of us walked into the yard, we saw a fire next to the wall."
"Oh no, the cotton stalks next to it are on fire. How come they are burning in the middle of the night?" Xiaohua was anxious and hurried to the well with a bucket to fetch water. Chunxiao opened the gate to check, but she was knocked unconscious by someone with a stick as soon as she left the yard.
Her head was buzzing with pain, so she reached out to touch the painful area, only to find her hands were tied.
She was kidnapped and was startled. Then she heard two people laughing beside her, "Oh, he's awake."
"I never thought this woman had so much money at home. This box contains several hundred taels."
"More than that, there's also a box of cloth."
"Sanjiang is such a slow-moving guy. He only spoke up now after knowing about this financial backer. If he knew there was such a way to make money, why would he kidnap those children? Dozens of children are not worth just one."
Yan Sanjiang, someone she hadn't seen for several years, was now mentioned by these people. She thought of Xiaohua again and wondered how Xiaohua was doing and whether she had been caught. She whimpered twice, and someone pulled the cloth out of her mouth. The people in the car just laughed.
Chun Xiao was now blindfolded. "Who are you?"
"Didn't you hear what we just said? You ruined our good thing today, don't you know who we are?"
Suddenly, someone slapped her in the face. "You bitch, why are you meddling in other people's business? We almost got caught today. If that kid Sanjiang hadn't recognized you, we wouldn't have been able to escape. You ruined everything we've been planning for half a month. If it weren't for all that money, do you think you could have survived?"
"What have you done to the girl next to me?" These were a group of extremely vicious people, and she was very worried about Xiaohua's situation.
