Chapter 8 Pei Shuer Faints
Who is she?
Was this something that was swapped while he was unconscious?
Or does she possess the same power from an unknown world as Lin Yiyi?
Pei Shaoling's narrow peach blossom eyes looked at her quietly.
When the chief constable saw that Qiao Qiqi had returned but the third brother was nowhere to be seen, he frowned slightly.
"Mrs. Pei, did you see the third brother just now?"
The chief officer stared straight into Qiao Qiqi's eyes and asked coldly.
He knew what the third brother wanted to do outside just now, and he didn't stop him.
Since these prisoners have been exiled, it is a blessing to be able to serve these officials!
"No, I just went to the bathroom and came back, and I didn't see any other adults!"
Qiao Qiqi knew that she must not panic at this moment, so she replied calmly.
The chief officer stared at her for about a minute, and when he saw that she was normal, he ordered the others to go out and check.
"Go out and look for the third brother, see where he is!"
An incense stick later, the two came back to report, "Boss, the third one is missing!"
“What! What’s going on?”
The old officer stood up in shock and looked at Qiao Qiqi again, "Young lady from the Pei family, you really didn't see the third brother?"
"Yes, sir! I certainly didn't see him! Do you suspect that I hid that sir? Do you think it's possible?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the other party with an innocent face, "You all are tall and strong, and I am just a woman in the boudoir. How can I have such great abilities?"
The chief officer thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Even if the young lady in front of me is more beautiful, she is still an unarmed woman.
The third brother has some martial arts skills, and he is such a big man, where can the other party hide?
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the dozen or so brothers he was escorting.
"Second brother, fourth brother, take two or three of you to guard the cave entrance, and the rest of you come with me to find the third brother!"
"yes!"
All the officers responded in unison.
The chief constable grasped his sword and gave an order, leading his men out to look for the third constable who had died prematurely.
In the cave, everyone sat on the ground with their heads bowed.
Even if there were only four officers, they would not think of running away.
If you want to escape on the road to exile, you will only die!
First of all, not to mention that the bracelets and shackles on the men's hands hindered their escape speed.
Just say that in this day and age, where can you, a fugitive, escape to?
Without household registration documents and with the overwhelming number of arrest documents, it is impossible to escape!
It would be better to follow the escorting officers to the place of exile, then get some land and become a commoner, living an honest life!
Qiao Qiqi has been a timid girl since she was a child.
Even though she had just killed someone, she knew that with her own strength at this time.
It is impossible to escape from the clutches of these officials.
Even if he escapes, Prince Pei will follow the plot of the original novel.
And as someone who didn't care about the lives of the Pei family, he would definitely die at the hands of the future regent.
It would be better to find a way to get them to their destination safely.
When the time comes, I will divorce Prince Pei, farm on my own, or open a small restaurant or something.
As for Master Pei, no matter how he loves and hates the male and female protagonists, it will have nothing to do with her.
He took a quick look at the Pei family's old, young, and disabled people.
Alas, she can only take on the burden of supporting the family temporarily.
By then, the big boss will definitely let him go because he has done his best to take care of him and his family.
Thinking of this, she took out a few fruits from her sleeves and distributed them to the Pei family.
The second and third branches of the Pei family, who were not far away, saw the fruits in the hands of several people.
There was envy and jealousy in their eyes.
An hour later, the chief constable returned with his men, looking dejected.
He said weakly to the second officer, "Let them get up and leave!"
"Okay, Boss!"
The people behind him immediately started shouting at everyone to get up and prepare to set off.
The second officer pulled his boss's neighbor out and said, "Boss, still haven't found it?"
The chief constable shook his head. "We've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of a fight, no clues at all. It's as if the Third Brother has vanished into thin air!"
"What should we do then?"
The second officer looked behind him and said, "We still have so many prisoners to escort, we can't delay too long!"
"Well, we can only escort the prisoner first. Then we can report the third brother as having died in the line of duty. We will also take care of his family!"
The chief officer sighed and spoke softly.
In the cave, Pei Shaoan and Pei Shaoming lifted the wooden board on which Pei Shaoling was lying and walked out.
Qiao Qiqi carried her own bag and followed closely behind, supporting Pei's mother and sister-in-law Pei Shuer.
"Hurry up! We've wasted quite a bit of time, we need to hurry!"
The chief constable whipped his whip and shouted, "I remember there's a dilapidated temple a few dozen miles ahead. We must hurry and get there before dark!"
The prisoners dared not say a word and followed their footsteps.
He looked at the two officers pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with a large iron pot and miscellaneous rice, and then at the two Pei brothers who were wearing handcuffs and shackles and carrying Pei Shaoling with difficulty.
Qiao Qiqi thought that when she arrived in the town, she would find a way to get a car and drive on the road.
Two of the officers were injured, so they were not advancing very fast.
At noon, Pei Shuer finally couldn't bear it anymore.
At the beginning, she insisted on walking by herself. After all, she was seven or eight years old and sensible enough.
Pei's mother did not carry or hug him.
But, she is still a child.
Moreover, she is the daughter of a noble family who grew up in luxury.
How could I bear the hardship of such a long journey?
"Mom, I can't walk anymore!"
She was sweating and pale as she called out softly.
Then he softly let go of Pei's mother and fell down.
"Shu'er, Shu'er!"
Mother Pei stopped walking with a nervous look on her face, calling out to her little daughter.
Qiao Qiqi also hurried forward to check.
His face was pale, his lips were dry, and there was an unusual blush on his cheeks.
"Oh no, she seems to have a fever!"
Qiao Qiqi let out a low cry and quickly reached towards her forehead.
Before this, the little girl had been hiding in Pei's mother's arms, and she didn't notice her expression.
Her symptoms are obviously very similar to Pei Shaoling's, and she must have wounds on her body.
Qiao Qiqi quickly looked around the little girl and finally noticed something wrong with her feet under her clothes.
Take off the embroidered shoes, sure enough!
The pair of little feet were covered in blood!
Qiao Qiqi looked at the unconscious Pei Shuer again.
I felt a kind of respect for this little girl of seven or eight years old.
It's been several days, and his foot was so badly injured but he didn't even make a sound.
"Qiqi, why is Shu'er's foot like this?"
Mother Pei only then saw the injuries of her little girl, and her face was filled with pain. "This silly girl, her foot was injured so badly, why didn't she tell me?"
Crystal clear tears slid down Pei's mother's face.
