Qin Ling was still worried, but she also knew she was getting old.
Going there would only be a hindrance; I can only repeatedly remind you.
"Yunyuan! If anything really happens, don't try to force it! Find a way to get back, understand?"
Qin Yunyuan nodded.
"Knowing about Grandpa doesn't necessarily mean something bad will happen; it's just a guess, so please don't worry."
"Okay, okay, everything'll be alright, everything'll be alright. Go quickly, find Luo Luo and the others, and come right back!"
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
"Go on, go on! Be careful!"
After Qin Yunyuan and Jingming reunited, they went out to search for Qin Luo and the others.
Qin Ling felt that this matter could not be kept from Qin Liang, so he went to his room.
Qin Liang and Liu Zheng were just about to go see what food was available.
Upon seeing the Qinling Mountains, they even went up to ask if anyone wanted to go together.
Qinling was somewhat anxious
"Young man, Abbot Jingming said he was uneasy, feeling that something might have happened to Luo Luo, and has already gone out with Yun Yuan to look for her."
Qin Liang panicked when he heard that it was Jingming who said it.
"Uncle, don't worry. Mu Feng and Luo Luo are together, they'll be fine. I'll go find Xiao Qi now and we'll search outside together. You wait for our news at the inn. Wife, you go check on the children first and tell them not to let any of them go out!"
Liu Zheng quickly replied, "Okay, be careful!"
After Qin Liang nodded, he went to find Qin Xian, while Liu Zheng and Qin Ling went to the children's room.
It would have been better if we hadn't gone; once we went, we were almost scared to death.
Except for Wang Chang'en, all the others have disappeared.
Liu Zheng quickly asked, "Chang'en, where did they all go?"
Wang Chang'en stammered and dared not speak, so Qin Ling slapped him anxiously.
"Speak up! If you don't, we'll beat them all up when we find them!"
Only when Wang Chang'en saw that Qin Ling was truly angry did he tell the truth.
"Brother Yunzhou said that Luoluo had all gone out to play, and that they would be fine playing for a while, so he took them out. But Grandpa said they shouldn't run around, so I didn't go..."
Qin Ling hurriedly went to find Qin Xing again.
"Star Boy, Yunzhou took all the younger ones out. Come with me to find them!"
Qin Xing still didn't understand
"Did everyone go? Yun Yuan went too? With Yun Yuan there, everything should be fine. They haven't gone out to play in so long, going out for a stroll isn't a big deal."
Wan Yun chimed in from the side.
"Yes, Uncle, it's alright. This city is quite safe. With Yunyuan here, I don't feel bad!"
Qin Ling slammed his hand on the door frame in anger.
"What are you so worried about! Luo Luo and Mu Feng went out first. The abbot said he was uneasy and had already gone to look for them with Yun Yuan. Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi also went to look. Yun Zhou thought they had gone out to play, so he took the younger ones and they all secretly ran away."
Wan Yun became anxious upon hearing this.
"I hope nothing bad has happened! Husband, you must go out and look for him, I'll go with you!"
Qin Xing pulled her back into the room
"You wait here, my uncle and I will go find it."
Then he and Qinling went out.
Qin Luo and Mu Feng wandered around for a long time but didn't buy anything.
Food is ridiculously expensive, and water is even more expensive!
In the end, they only bought two cloth tigers, which they carried in their arms. Just as the two were about to head home...
I saw several groups of people dressed as disaster victims, seemingly searching for something in the city.
Mu Feng shielded Qin Luo to his side, and the two slowly walked towards the inn.
Qin Luo noticed that the disaster victims were all looking at the children in the city.
I think they are most likely human traffickers!
She tugged at Mu Feng's sleeve.
"Uncle, they keep staring at the children. Could they be planning to steal them?"
Mu Feng shook his head after observing.
"I'm afraid not. Look at their light steps and sharp eyes; they're clearly trained fighters. And those women—they seem very approachable, making it easy to lower your guard!"
Qin Luo looked closely: "It really is!"
"Their every smile and gesture is trained. These kinds of people are usually placed in the homes of high-ranking officials and wealthy families to gather intelligence; it would be a huge waste of their talent to send them out to abduct children!"
Qin Luo frowned as she looked at the group of people.
"Then why are they staring at the children? These disaster victims are so convincingly disguised; there isn't a single elderly person, they're all young and strong, and the children don't even look like children, they're too well-behaved!"
She pointed to the large trees around her.
"Look, what child wouldn't be excited to see big trees and small grass during a drought? The children around them are all focused, quiet and still. Isn't that strange?"
Mu Xiao couldn't figure out what these people's purpose was either.
"Never mind them, let's hurry back to the inn so Uncle and the others won't worry!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo ignored the others and the two quickly headed towards the inn.
They hadn't walked far when they encountered Jingming and Qin Yunyuan. Qin Luo called out to them.
"Big cousin, little brother, you're out having fun too?"
Qin Yunyuan stepped forward and carefully examined Qin Luo.
She greeted Mu Feng only after seeing that she was alright.
"Uncle Mu Feng, we've come to see you. The abbot said he's uneasy, fearing something might have happened to Luo Luo!"
Jingming also stepped forward and bowed.
"Hello Uncle Mu Feng, seeing you all makes me feel much calmer!"
Then she looked at Qin Luo.
"Sister, you said you'd be careful, why did you run out again?"
Qin Luo, holding Mu Feng's hand, remained completely calm.
"I'm keeping an eye on it! I take my uncle with me whenever I go out!"
Jingming was speechless.
"Sister, you should stay with me these days! I'm really worried about you!"
Mu Feng and Qin Yunyuan also didn't understand why Jingming was uneasy.
