Chapter 1997 Crowded
The crowd became chaotic, and Bai Shan was startled. He wanted to go forward to Manbao, but it was too late. The people next to him seemed to be helping to find the child. The crowd, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly surged, and many people broke through the guards' isolation and rushed among them. In a blink of an eye, Bai Shan could not see Manbao, and even Bai Erlang could not see him.
Bai Shan could only shout loudly: "Manbao, Bai Er, go to the lantern shed, go to Jishitang or go back to our Bai family's lantern shed, do you hear me?"
Bai Erlang hugged Mingda tightly and reached out to push the person who was pressing on her away to avoid squeezing her. He heard it, but had no time to respond.
Mingda felt that there were people everywhere, and only Bai Er provided her with a space. When she looked up, she could only see a few people, and could not even see the lanterns on both sides.
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch the bracelet on her hand. Finding it was still there, she took a deep breath quietly and found that her breathing was smooth and there was no peculiar smell. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached out and grabbed Bai Er, and was about to ask the guards, when she caught a glimpse of a guard trying to push through the crowd with difficulty, but another person squeezed in from the side, and she instantly lost sight of the guard.
Bai Er, who was also looking around for guards, found that the guards who had been guarding them had been dispersed. He could feel people walking around constantly bumping into him, and there were screams everywhere...
The person walking past him from behind didn't know what was on his back, and it scratched his back, causing a burning pain. He couldn't look back, or even touch it with his hands.
He held Mingda tightly with both hands, and opened his arms as wide as possible to give her space. He waited for a moment, but still found that no guards were trying to squeeze over. So he simply protected Mingda and walked forward in the direction of the crowd. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go forward. Try to get to the right. It's close to the edge there, so it's easier to escape."
This was the first time Mingda encountered such a thing, and he nodded with a pale face.
The screams, roars and cries in the crowd became louder and louder. Bai Erlang felt someone's hand touching his waist and pulling away the jade pendant and purse on his body.
He was so angry that his eyes turned red, but he still held Mingda tightly. When he realized that someone was going too far and even touching Princess Mingda's hands and waist, he retracted one hand and grabbed that hand. He tilted his head, slid his thumb down along the hand and pressed it hard, and then he heard a scream from the side and behind him.
Bai Erlang snorted coldly, dropped his hand, and slammed his whole body towards the source of the sound. The crowd screamed, and half a circle of people suddenly became clear in the crowd that was originally so crowded that it was difficult to even raise their heads. Seeing this, Bai Erlang didn't bother to get his purse and jade pendant back. He hugged Mingda and walked forward quickly to both sides, squeezing out through a gap...
Mingda's hair was a little messy, and the person behind her was so strong that she almost bumped into a table.
The stall owner nearby saw the crowd suddenly getting crowded and moved his table back in fear, but even so, his stall was still packed with people and he couldn't do business at all.
Bai Erlang hugged Mingda and walked around to the back of the stall owner. In the light of the lantern, he asked her, "Are you hurt?"
Mingda clutched the bracelet on her wrist tightly with one hand. It was almost snatched away by someone just now, and she was a little scared. But when she heard Bai Erlang's question, she shook her head and looked at the crowded crowd in front of her worriedly, "Manbao, Sister Changyu, and the people around me are still in there."
Bai Erlang was also anxious, but he comforted her, "It's okay, Princess Changyu will be fine as long as she stays close to Manbao. She has a needle on her body."
He added, "Don't be afraid of the people around you. As long as no one falls, it will be easier when someone walks out."
At this time, Bai Shan was struggling to walk out. He was not very worried when the crowd got congested at the beginning. He wanted to walk forward with the crowd to look for her, after all, they were all moving forward just now.
But soon, the wailing sound became louder and louder, followed by the voices of various people calling "Erniu", accompanied by everyone's screams. He climbed on Daji with one hand, held Bai Dalang tightly with the other hand, stood on tiptoe and took a look, and saw that the crowd in front of him on the left was in chaos, and people in the front were constantly pushing towards that place.
He had a bad feeling, so he simply didn't move forward. Instead, he pulled Daji and Bai Dalang and said, "Let's turn around and get out."
Bai Dalang was anxious, "Why are you going out? The two princesses are in front, nothing can happen to them."
"Of course I know, but how can we look for them with so many people? If we don't want them to get into trouble, then everyone just needs to be safe." Bai Shan trusts Man Bao and Bai Er very much. He doesn't think they will lose the two princesses. As long as they are with them, it doesn't matter even if the guards and palace maids don't keep up.
He said, "The most important thing now is that nothing happens to the people on this road. This is the main street, leading in all directions. I don't know how many people from other streets are walking this way. They're looking for the traffickers. The people inside can't get out, and people outside keep pouring in. Something's bound to happen. Let's go out first and find Brother Tang!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Dalang gritted his teeth, turned around, and followed Bai Shan to push the people in front of him to the side. Some people kept insulting and screaming, but they gritted their teeth and moved to the other side, then followed the direction of the crowd...
Daji squeezed hard to make a path for them.
As soon as he reached the spacious area, Bai Shan immediately ran out. He ran quite a distance before looking back at the crowd still thronging behind him. He immediately turned to look at Daji and said, "Look around, is there any store nearby? It would be best if it's a teahouse or restaurant, right at the corner of the two streets, and the highest."
Daji was tall and had good eyesight. He glanced at the building ahead and pointed, "Master, over there."
"Let's go." Bai Shan ran away.
The three of them ran to the door. Bai Shan took a look and found it was a restaurant, so he stepped in. The waiter smiled and was about to greet him, but he went straight to the shopkeeper and asked, "Where is the county magistrate? Ask him to come downstairs to see me."
Shopkeeper: ...
He looked Bai Shan up and down. Seeing that he looked a little disheveled but well-dressed, he forced a smile and said, "What do you want from the officer?"
Bai Shan searched around for the entrance and exit sign on his body, then showed it to the shopkeeper and said sternly, "Let them come down!"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to laugh anymore, and quickly responded with a smile, then ran upstairs to call someone.
After a while, a runner came down from upstairs with a thud. He looked up with dissatisfaction, and when he saw it was Bai Shan, his face changed immediately. His heavy feet immediately became light. He quickly ran down a few steps and saluted. "So it's Master Bai. Master Bai, what do you want me to do?"
