Fu Honghong's condition was the same as Fu Yaozu's. Aunt Qian brought over a basin of cold water, and Fu Zhenhua and Qian Xiaohua used their hands to scoop some cold water and patted the child's face a couple of times. Not long after, Fu Honghong was the first to open her eyes.
Upon seeing Fu Zhenhua's familiar face, the little girl's lips trembled and she immediately burst into tears.
"Wow, Daddy... there are human traffickers trying to kidnap me! Honghong is so scared, waaaaaah!"
Fu Honghong burst into tears instantly, and Fu Zhenhua's heart broke at the sight.
"It's alright, it's alright, Honghong, don't be afraid, the human trafficker has been caught by everyone."
Fu Zhenhua desperately comforted his little girl in his arms. At that moment, he felt like killing Hu Wanshan. Hearing that Hu Wanshan had been arrested, Fu Honghong cried and looked around.
When the little girl saw Hu Wanshan being tied up by the villagers not far away, she instinctively hid in Fu Zhenhua's arms in fright.
He was clearly traumatized.
"Dad, I just heard Lingling's voice. Did she save me?"
Fu Honghong still remembers the voice she heard before she lost consciousness. Fu Ling heard her name and rushed to her friend's side.
"It was me, Mom, and Sister Mingzhu who saved you. Oh, and Dahuang was there too; it bit the bad guy's leg hard!"
"Honghong, don't be afraid. We've defeated the bad guy. He'll never be able to kidnap children again!"
Fu Ling waved her little fist, and Fu Honghong, who was sobbing uncontrollably, still hugged Fu Ling tightly, moved by her reaction.
"Thank you... thank you Lingling, thank you Mingzhu sister."
And there's Da Huang and Aunt Wan, those filthy human traffickers, those big bad guys, waaaaah!
As Fu Honghong spoke, she started crying again. Seeing this, Fu Ling quickly hugged her friend, and Qin Mingzhu's eyes were also red.
She had also been abducted by human traffickers and knew how desperate that fear could be.
Fu Ling was filled with lingering fear; she had almost lost her little friend.
Those damned human traffickers! They actually used their status as peddlers to sneak into the village and kidnap children. When she grows up, she'll definitely arrest and execute all of these human traffickers!
As they were talking, Qian Xiaohua splashed a lot more cold water on Fu Yaozu's face until his collar was wet, but he still showed no signs of waking up.
"Why isn't he awake yet? Should we take him to the hospital?"
Qian Xiaohua was extremely anxious, and when Aunt Qian saw this, she quickly moved over.
"Let me give it a try!"
If the cold water in her house could wake Fu Honghong, how could it not wake Fu Yaozu!
Aunt Qian's strength was much greater than Qian Xiaohua's. After a few loud slaps, Qian Xiaohua couldn't care less about her son and kept praying to the Goddess Mazu.
This is her only son. If anything happens to him, she won't be able to live either!
Whether it was the goddess Mazu who heard Qian Xiaohua's prayer or not, Aunt Qian clapped until her hands hurt, then turned her head and saw Fu Yaozu's eyelids twitch, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
"I told you, there's absolutely no problem with the cold water in my house!"
Aunt Qian was very proud and shook the water off her hands.
Qian Xiaohua didn't care what she was saying and rushed forward to hug her son, whom she had just found again.
"Yaozu, Yaozu, how are you? You scared your mother to death! Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Fu Yaozu rubbed his eyes, still not realizing what had happened.
"Mom, what are you all doing here? Why are you all surrounding me?"
He touched the water on his face, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Who splashed cold water in my face? So much water, it's freezing!"
Seeing that Fu Yaozu was no different from usual, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yaozu, it must be your father's spirit in heaven protecting you. If it weren't for Awan's howling and that dog barking incessantly, you would have been kidnapped by now!"
"Yes, oh Yaozu, you child, do you remember how you were drugged by this kidnapper?"
The aunties chatted amongst themselves as Fu Yaozu stood up and scratched his head.
"What kidnapper? There are no kidnappers."
"If it's not a kidnapping, isn't it already a kidnapping!"
Aunt Qian pointed to Hu Wanshan, who was tied up not far away. Fu Yaozu turned his head and saw him, and immediately became anxious.
"Why are you tying up Uncle Peddler? He's a good man, not a kidnapper!"
"What good person? He's the one who kidnapped you!"
Qian Xiaohua spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration.
However, Fu Yaozu was not one to listen. He sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, imitating Old Lady Wang.
"No, he's a good person, please let him go!"
After throwing a tantrum and seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Fu Yaozu got up again and rushed over to pry open the hands of the men holding Hu Wanshan.
Qian Xiaohua was both anxious and angry. She always doted on her son and would never lay a hand on him, but seeing Fu Yaozu's appearance, she was truly ready to punch him.
Aunt Qian was also furious. She blurted out, "Oh, Xiao Hua, has your son been bewitched by that human trafficker?"
"That's right, someone tricked him into putting the stuff in their basket, and he's still saying they're a good person!"
Everyone has always been fiercely opposed to evil, except for Fu Yaozu, who is still a child. If it were an adult who couldn't distinguish between good and evil, Aunt Qian and the others would have spat on him.
Who is this person?!
Decades ago, that would have been considered treason, a collaborator with the Han Chinese!
The guards watching over Hu Wanshan were all strong men from the village. Fu Yaozu's two shoves were like tickling him; they couldn't possibly pry him open.
Fu Wan found it strange and asked, "Yaozu, why did you say he's a good person?"
When Fu Yaozu saw it was Fu Wan, he stammered, "Because...because he gave me candy!"
“Even though I didn’t have any chicken feathers, he still gave me candy. It was a huge piece! My mom never bought me such a big piece of candy for Chinese New Year!”
"He also said he wanted to be my dad so I could have candy every day!"
Fu Yaozu's words made Hu Wanshan laugh through his pain. He had seen fools before, but never anyone this foolish.
Qian Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then her blood pressure rose, and she could no longer hold back.
"I'll beat you to death, you glutton! You know what the situation is like at home during the New Year!"
How can you be so heartless? I work hard every day from dawn till dusk, all for you. You treat someone like your father just because they give you a piece of candy.
I've poured my heart out to you every day, and what do you take me for?!
As Qian Xiaohua spoke, she couldn't help but choke up, and her hand kept hitting Fu Yaozu.
Fu Yaozu was beaten and cried loudly. The old village chief coughed twice and gestured to his wife to go up and comfort him.
However, Liu San Niang looked away as if she didn't know, in her opinion, Fu Yaozu, that lazy good-for-nothing, should have been taught a lesson long ago.
Although he was just a child, there were several other children in the village who were just as idle and lazy as him.
If you don't do it now, you'll regret it when you have money later!
Fu Wan had the same idea. In order to make Fu Yaozu give up, she decided to go all the way and rummage through Hu Wanshan's basket to find the bag of maltose with a suspicious color.
"Fu Yaozu, did that person give you this bag of candy? You're not a child anymore, take a look and see if the color of this candy is right."
