Chapter 346 I Heard a Voice
Fu Zheng took a while to calm down before sitting up from the ground. He looked at the scattered cloths with shock, for he knew that Erbao was still wrapped in one of the cloths!
He looked around, found a sharp stone, used it to cut the rope, and then began to look for Erbao at the bottom of the slope.
There is a small forest at the foot of the hillside. There are bushes everywhere in the forest, and there are many barbs that prick people and are extremely painful.
Fu Zheng found a piece of cloth and searched hard, but he couldn't find Erbao.
He endured the pain in his body and continued to move forward, vaguely seeing a piece of red cloth in front of him.
He remembered that the two men wrapped Ling'er in cloth of this color.
Fu Zheng quickly ran forward and spread out the cloth, and sure enough, he saw Erbao inside.
Maybe the cloth did not fall apart when it rolled down, and under the protection of the cloth, Erbao was not injured.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, wake up quickly, Ling'er..."
Fu Zheng untied the rope on Erbao and pinched her philtrum, but Erbao still did not respond. It was very likely that the drug had not yet taken effect.
Fu Zheng had no choice but to carry her on his back.
He didn't know if King Qi and his men had caught up with him. Seeing that it was getting dark, Fu Zheng could only find a place to stay. He didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting those bad guys.
What Fu Zheng didn't know was that Xiao Jin was looking for them on the other side of the slope.
"Ling'er, Ling'er."
Xiao Jin looked around but didn't find anyone. The man who fell had been captured alive, his hands, feet and jaw removed, and he was taken away by the imperial guards.
Night fell and the sky darkened.
The imperial guards lit torches one after another and barely illuminated the surroundings.
"Your Highness, I and others found bloodstains and some torn fabric in the front piece of cloth."
Xiao Jin looked at the cloth in the hands of the imperial guards with a solemn expression. If he remembered correctly, the cloth should belong to Fu Zheng. He had seen it on Fu Zheng yesterday.
"Expand your search in the direction in which the clothing material was found."
"yes."
Fu Zheng carried Erbao on his back and walked up from the bottom of the slope, and found a small cave. Actually, it was not a cave, but a small mountain entrance that was just big enough to accommodate two children.
After Fu Zheng put Erbao into the mountain pass, he went to get some stones and piled them outside the mountain pass as a cover to prevent the bad guys from discovering them.
After he had done all this, he sat down next to Erbao.
As soon as he sat down, the second child beside him moved.
Fu Zheng called softly, "Ling'er, Ling'er?"
Erbao groaned and slowly opened her eyes, but it was pitch black all around her and she couldn't see anything.
"Brother Fu Zheng?"
Fu Zheng heard her talk and laughed happily, "Sister Ling'er, you are finally awake."
"Brother Fu Zheng, where are we? It's so dark."
"We were caught by bad guys. We may have rolled down the mountain. We are still in the mountain now. When it gets light and those bad guys leave, we will get out."
Erbao was a little scared when he heard this and leaned towards Fu Zheng, "Brother Fu Zheng, I'm scared."
Fu Zheng was only an eight-year-old child, and he was also afraid, but in front of Erbao, he still said bravely: "Don't be afraid, Ling'er, Brother Fu Zheng will protect you."
The two small figures huddled together in the dark, and because they were cold and hungry, they fell asleep in a daze.
After learning that there was something strange at the city gate, Su Ying rushed over immediately and met Xiao Jin outside the city when it got dark.
Until now, her locator has not found Erbao's whereabouts, and she suspects that there is something wrong with the locator on Erbao.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
Xiao Jin's face was so dark that it almost blended into the darkness. "No, the person should be at the bottom of the hill, but we can't find him."
"How do you know for sure that the person is there? Did the person you found confess?"
"Yes, they hid Ling'er and Fu Zheng in the cloth and tried to take them out of the city."
Su Ying frowned, "Fu Zheng was also arrested?"
Xiao Jin nodded.
"I should have brought the big cats back earlier." They have a keen sense of smell and are very familiar with Ling'er. They can easily find Ling'er by smell.
But there was no point in thinking about it now.
"Have you heard of the Red Devil Pie?"
Xiao Jin frowned, "Red Devil? It's a killer organization in Jianghu that specializes in killing people. Red Devil once said that as long as they pay enough money, they dare to kill anyone."
Su Ying sneered, "What a big tone! Where is their lair? After I was led to Xunshan Temple, two people from the Red Devil Sect attacked me. Their leader always knows who paid them."
Once she finds Ling'er, she will definitely destroy the Red Devil Sect!
In the darkness, two sneaky figures hid in the shadows and watched the imperial guards searching.
"Two useless pieces of trash. They can't even handle such a small matter. What's the point of having them?"
"What should we do? Now that the person has escaped, how are we going to report to our superiors?"
"Wait a minute, they may not be able to find anyone."
"kindness."
The sky gradually turned pale.
A ray of golden light shone in through the gap. Fu Zheng moved his stiff body and slowly opened his eyes. At a glance, he saw Erbao sleeping in his arms.
He couldn't bear to wake Erbao up, so he just sat there stiffly. After Erbao woke up, he spoke softly, "Ling'er, you're awake."
Erbao opened his eyes dazedly, looking at Fu Zheng who was still a little dazed, "Brother Fu Zheng..."
"Ling'er, I'll go out and take a look. If there are no bad guys outside, we'll find a way to get out."
Erbao nodded obediently, touched her body with her little hands, and felt a small bag of snacks. She took out the snacks happily.
The snacks inside were all squashed, but it was still a huge surprise for her, "Brother Fu Zheng, Ling'er still has some delicious food."
Fu Zheng looked at the snacks and swallowed his saliva, but he still said, "That's great, Ling'er, eat quickly, so you will have the strength to walk later."
Erbao happily picked up the snack and started eating. He looked at Fu Zheng and fed the remaining snack to him, "Brother Fu Zheng, eat too."
Fu Zheng pushed it away, "Brother is not hungry, Ling'er can eat it."
"Eat it. It's delicious."
Fu Zheng had no choice but to open his mouth and take a bite.
The snacks were dry and didn’t taste very good, but for them who were hungry, they were undoubtedly the best delicacy.
After the two of them finished their snacks, they regained some strength. Fu Zheng cleared away the rocks and branches at the mountain pass and left with Erbao.
Fu Zheng looked at the surrounding environment and found it difficult to tell the direction, but he felt that they could return the same way and maybe meet someone who could save them.
"Come on Ling'er, follow your brother."
"Well, okay."
Erbao followed Fu Zheng obediently all the way back.
"Eh? Brother Fu Zheng, I think I heard my father's voice."
