Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Xier woke up staggering. It was pitch black all around her and she couldn't see anything. She only felt that her hands and feet were tied and she was squeezed in a dark space.
The mouth was still sealed.
She was terrified.
“Hmm…”
But before she could cry, she heard a mumbling sound in her ear. It was not loud, but she had always had good hearing.
She heard someone crying.
There are many more.
She wanted to cry too, but after hearing these crying voices, she suddenly didn't want to cry anymore.
She twisted her body and freed her hands that were tied behind her back. Then she moved her butt and wanted to get closer to listen to who was crying.
But as soon as she moved, she pressed down on something.
Bald head.
Xier touched the bald head and soon found the two nostrils. She curiously scratched them with her little finger until she heard a muffled groan, then she retracted her hand in fright.
In the dark.
She blinked her eyes, curious and confused.
Finally, she couldn't help but reached out and touched it.
She had so much fun playing with the bald head that she forgot where she was.
Ayu was awakened by being poked.
After waking up, he was confused for a moment.
But he soon discovered that his hands tied behind his back had been untied at some point.
He was surprised.
But he soon sat up.
This scared Xier who was poking his bald head. She shrank back into the corner like a frightened kitten, her ignorant eyes staring at Ayu who was sitting up, her eyes full of water.
Ayu took a moment to adjust before he could see the situation clearly in the darkness.
A dozen tied-up children.
Crowded together.
At this time.
Ayu felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes. He turned around and met a pair of big watery eyes in the darkness.
Ayu was stunned for a moment.
"you……"
As Ayu started to speak, the shaking suddenly stopped.
There was a sound outside.
Ayou subconsciously reached out and covered Xier's mouth, afraid that she would make a sound: "Shh, don't make a sound, don't be afraid."
Xier blinked.
She is not afraid.
She just wanted to touch that bald head.
Thinking of this, she reached out again.
Ayu: ...?
"There's no need to leave the city. Brother Hu told us to go back. The city gates are full of people from the City Defense Department, and the inspection is very strict. Our car definitely can't leave tonight."
"Why is the inspection so strict? Where are our people? Can't they let us out?"
"I don't know, but Brother Hu told us to go back quickly."
"What a hassle."
The two people outside exchanged a few words and then turned the carriage around and headed back.
Passersby who saw the carriage covered their noses and moved away, because in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a carriage carrying night incense...
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Wei sat back in the chair with a pale face, her whole body stiff. She wanted to move her sore butt, but as soon as she moved, she pulled her hand and gasped in pain.
She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Looking at Yang Zhao who had been sitting opposite her motionless for a long time, she whispered, "Zhao, it's been a whole day, can you let me..."
Yang Zhao raised his eyes.
The moment Wei's eyes met, he subconsciously shut up.
However, Wei finally looked at Madam Yang who was sitting in the main seat and said weakly, "Madam, I feel cold all over now. I feel like I'm going to die."
She hadn't eaten all day.
Not even water to drink.
This Yang Zhao is simply too cruel.
But she couldn't do anything about her!
Old Madam Yang raised her eyelids and glanced at Wei. Thinking of what her grandson had said, she sighed and said, "Just bear with it a little longer. Brother Jin has already taken people to look for her. Xier should be found soon."
Wei almost fainted from anger.
Xier, Xier!
It wasn't her who caused her to get lost. She just temporarily concealed the news of her disappearance. She also sent people to look for her, but they all picked on her.
Wei was very angry in his heart.
But what can I do!!
Now the hall is full of Yang Zhao's people.
Besides, her eldest son has also spoken, so unless she doesn't want her son anymore, she has to endure it!
"Madam, there's news!" January rushed into the hall.
This sentence not only touched Yang Zhao's heart, but even Wei's eyes lit up...
…
“It’s right here!”
The little beggar took Yang Zhao to the entrance of the alley where they had met in the afternoon. "That tall man came out carrying a little girl, and there was another short man who kept cursing, as if he had been bitten by a dog. He kept saying things like, 'The little girl almost ran away, you beast, Brother Tiger,' and 'What are you going to get tonight?'"
The little beggar tried hard to recall.
The beggar beside him heard him finish and quickly said, "Madam, this Gou Dan has only just arrived here and doesn't understand many things. We split up to look for the young lady, and only when we returned to the gathering house did we learn about this from Gou Dan."
And at this time.
The little beggar suddenly thought of something: "Oh, ma'am, someone in another carriage spoke to those two men. I didn't hear what they said clearly, but the two men then went into the alley..."
"Do you remember the people in the carriage? Or any signs on the carriage?" Yang Zhao asked hurriedly.
The little beggar thought about it, then squatted on the ground and drew a crooked sign.
Yang Zhao took one look and his eyes darkened.
"elder sister!"
It’s Yang Huaijin.
He must have heard the news and rushed over.
