Chapter 118 Transaction
This night is destined to be sleepless.
In the middle of the night, the child woke up.
Lu Yan planned to run away with the child in the middle of the night, but was afraid of disturbing the people in the next room.
Once discovered, they can't escape.
So Lu Yan discussed it with the child.
"We have to leave now and find your mother. Our family of three will have to live in hiding from now on. We can't go find your grandma and grandpa. We can't harm those innocent people."
"I understand, Daddy. I understand. Let's go quickly. Otherwise, when the day breaks, that aunt will wake up and we won't be able to leave. I don't understand what happened between you and her, but I know you are doing this for my own good."
Lu Yan brought the child to the back of the inn and left while everyone was asleep.
Only in this way can they be temporarily safe, and only in this way can they find out where his wife is as soon as possible and find a way to drink. After all, his wife is innocent. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, he will not be able to explain to her family.
After Nan Qing woke up, he immediately knocked on their door, but found that no one answered. He felt something was wrong and immediately asked the shopkeeper.
But this shopkeeper is also a little naive, Nan Qing. That's what I asked him.
"Boss, did you see where the father and son who came with me yesterday went?"
The shopkeeper, who had just woken up, hadn't reacted yet. "Aren't they from the same family as you? Aren't you a family of three? Then where your husband and the children are going shouldn't I ask you? Why are you asking me?"
Nan Qing was too lazy to explain to the shopkeeper, so he threw down a silver ingot and chased after him.
Now she's done for and lost everyone. When she goes back, she won't be able to explain to her master that her family will be implicated.
It seems she will have to ask around.
Originally they wanted to take the father and son back to their owner for punishment, but now they had run away halfway, what could they do?
I hope my subordinates will not be soft-hearted or take it lightly towards my sister-in-law.
Gu Leyou's side was fine. The cabin was ventilated on all sides, but the windows were covered, leaving only gaps. The door was locked and could not be opened from the inside.
Just then, the girl from yesterday came again.
And he took a box of snacks, and Gu Leyou became very alert.
After all, at this critical moment, you cannot accept anything from strangers.
No one knows what else might be added to the pastry. If it's some kind of coma-inducing drug or something else, it would be really easy for something to go wrong.
The reason this girl came here today was simply to get some words out of her.
But she wanted to talk to him about something else today, not that topic.
So she said, "Girl, you are so young, why do you want to do such a harmful thing? Do you know how many happy families you have ruined by doing this? Instead of doing this, you might as well stop it early and accumulate some virtue for yourself and your family."
"My dear lady, I thought about what you said yesterday and it does make sense. But we are in this business and we have no choice. For ourselves and our families, we have to do this. So you'd better tell us where the statues are as soon as possible."
Gu Leyou replied, "This world is inherently unfair. The strong can ask the weak to do anything, and we weak people can only obey the strong to save our lives. If I knew where they were, it would be better. I wouldn't hide there alone. Maybe they tricked me out of the carriage and left for my safety. Maybe they didn't want me to know too much about them, so they left me behind."
"Then you have made all the necessary preparations. It's true that we can't get anything out of you, but you are the most important person to them. Only by arresting you can they show up. I have spent a lot of effort to let them know your whereabouts. I think you will be reunited soon."
This won’t do. When Gu Leyou heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
If all three of them were arrested, no one would be able to be sure of the accuracy of this operation.
Now we can conclude that what Miss Nan Qing said about the Third Prince dying is definitely true, and this is a trap set by all of them.
Just waiting for the three of them to come and install it.
After all, the existence of their family of three can affect the empire of their master behind them.
The Third Prince was enough to scare them, but they didn't expect that a family of three would come. The current emperor certainly knew that his hard-earned kingdom was going to be handed over to others. How could he be willing?
Gu Leyou decided to use his eloquent tongue to persuade people with reason and emotion.
At the very least, she had to be released, but she could also promise them that.
He would lead the father and son away and would not threaten their master's kingdom.
"Girl, we are both women. Think carefully about whether what I said makes sense."
The girl couldn't stand it anymore, so she put down the cake and left. When she reached the door, she turned back and said, "This cake is not poisonous, you can eat it without worry. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you for now. When you are no longer useful, I will consider whether to send you on your way."
Not long after the girl left, the black man who had sent him here came, carrying an accomplice on his back, but the accomplice looked seriously injured.
"Girl, didn't you say you know medical skills? My brother is seriously injured. If you can heal him, I will consider letting you go. Otherwise, you will have to wait here for them to arrive."
Fortunately, he brought a medical kit with him when he went out this time, so if he found any emergency on the road, he could still get help.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my words. I will definitely save him, but I will do my best to save him."
"Okay, I'll wait outside and help you watch."
…
About an incense stick of time later, Gu Leyou finally finished treating the man in black. She shouted towards the door and the black man outside came in.
"Don't worry, his life is not in danger. He will be fine after a few days of rest. Fortunately, he didn't break any bones, just some skin injuries. I knew that your business is too dangerous."
"Thank you, young lady. Let him rest for a while, and I will take him away from here. We must not let that young lady find him."
"Okay, as for whether or not to let me go, you consider it."
They seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
The man in black took his brother away after a while.
After it was taken away, the little house became quiet instantly.
Gu Leyou felt that what happened today was quite a coincidence.
But no one knows whether this will succeed.
As for Lu Yan, he had already taken his child on another carriage, looking for clues to find his wife's whereabouts.
When passing by a small stall, I saw a suspicious person.
The man seemed to have realized that they were in charge, so he trotted over.
"Sir, are you looking for your wife with your child? If you want to know your wife's safety, then get off the car and follow me."
After Lu Yan experienced what happened with Nan Qing, he became very cautious and didn't believe anything strangers said. However, how did he know that he was looking for a woman? It seemed that this person was indeed suspicious.
But he soon found an excuse and asked the coachman to take them away.
"No need, we are from other places, we are here to have fun, not to look for a lady, young man, you may have recognized the wrong person."
After saying this, the driver took them away.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
How come someone came up to him and started chatting him up as soon as he arrived at this place? Was it someone's deliberate arrangement?
He asked the child, "Do you think what the uncle said just now is true?"
Elderly people often say that children’s words are the most trustworthy. Since he is not sure about this matter today, he can only ask the child.
"Do you think that uncle was lying when he said that? Does he really know where my mother is?"
"My mother told me not to trust others easily. My father also told me when I was a child that I should be more vigilant when going out. If that person is arranged by a bad guy to meet my father and me, we will fall into the trap again. Then we will both be in danger. Who will save your mother?"
"But it's not a solution to delay this any longer. If we delay like this, your mother won't be able to be rescued, and we will be in danger. Maybe what your aunt said is wrong, and your father is fine. I have to send you back to Gujia Village first and let the people in Gujia Village take care of you. I will come out to look for you, and your mother will do everything she can to find her and bring her back."
But after hearing what he said, the child shook his head and replied, "I won't go back. The villagers will definitely be suspicious when I go back. Besides, we will go back as a family of three. That way, they won't be suspicious. After all, if I am just a child going back, they will definitely think something big has happened. Otherwise, how could parents abandon their children in the village?"
But Lu Yan said, "If you don't go back, it will be inconvenient for us to take you with us. Besides, your uncle the little doctor is in the village. No matter what purpose he has for us, he will always think you are innocent and will not hurt you. Besides, he is the only one who can cure your disease. Your mother can't do anything about it. So I will try my best to send you back first, so that I can find you with peace of mind. After all, there are some struggles of your mother that you, a child, cannot participate in."
The child also understood the difficulties between adults, so he finally nodded and agreed and returned to Gujia Village first.
Only by returning to Gujia Village can they do their work with peace of mind.
As for his safety helmet, it is in the village, so there shouldn't be any malicious person who wants to frame him. However, you have to be careful before sending it back to the village so that it doesn't get discovered by anyone with ulterior motives.
So they have to find an inn to stay in today, and then return the same way tomorrow. Only in this way can they be safe for a while.
During the night he stayed in the inn, Lu Yan packed his luggage for him.
A small bundle with some silver and money in it, he reminded: "I will send you to your grandparents' house, remember to give these things to your grandparents, if they ask where we went, do you know how to make an excuse?"
"I know. Dad is going to lie to them. Only then will they believe it."
"I'm sorry for asking you to go back and forth with us every time. We can only do this to give you a stable life. After all, if the issue of your biological father is not resolved, we simply can't live a stable life. So we can only ask you to go back to Gujia Village and live with them for a while. This is the best arrangement for you."
"I understand. If they ask me about your situation, I will act accordingly and will not tell grandma and grandpa about your current situation."
After the child fell asleep, Lu Yan felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have left Gujia Village from the beginning. If he had not left Gujia Village, everything would have developed in a good direction.
It was the time when they miscalculated. One misstep would lead to eternal regret. Now things were becoming more and more complicated, and they could only take one step at a time.
The next morning, they got up, packed up their belongings, took their bags, and hired a carriage.
After the father and son got on the carriage, they talked to the coachman and set off.
This time they didn't have far to go, so they drove for two days and one night and finally arrived.
It was already dark when we arrived at Gujia Village. People in the countryside went to bed early, so it was pitch black all the way.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they got off the carriage.
Lu Yan told the driver to follow him into the village and leave the carriage here temporarily.
After sending the child to his parents-in-law's house, he will set off again.
The driver was a kind-hearted man. In order to make a living, he went around picking up passengers who were traveling far away.
When they arrived near Gu Laoer's house, Lu Yan once again reminded the child, "You must take good care of yourself and listen to the adults. If you feel unwell, you must ask the adults in the family to ask the little doctor uncle for help. Don't be embarrassed to trouble them. After all, your life is very important."
"I know, Daddy."
Lu Yan walked into the gate of Gu Laoer's house while holding the child, raised his hand and knocked.
Gu Laoer and his family of three were planning to take a rest when they heard a knock on the door in the yard and they all became alert.
After all, the daughter and son-in-law left the village not long ago, and their eldest sister-in-law took their niece with her. They come to make trouble every now and then, which is really annoying.
Lin asked, "Who is knocking on the door so late at night, old man? Could it be that my sister-in-law and her friends are here again?"
"My dear, my sister-in-law shouldn't be that stupid. How could she, a smart person, come out so late at night? Who could it be? It can't be the village chief. The village chief can't come to our house so late at night."
"Stop wondering and go out and take a look. You'll know who it is when you see it."
So the couple decided to go to the yard and open the door to see what was going on.
