The children walking ahead looked at the alley, which was so long, and there was no one walking around.
This is Beijing! There are hutongs with no one walking around.
The children immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The children immediately became wary.
When Zhao Qingbei returned from buying roasted chestnuts for the children, she saw several children looking into the alley.
Carrying a huge pile of chestnuts, she walked towards the children.
The dough vendor, carrying his dough figurine box, continued walking forward, calling to the children to follow.
As the noodle seller walked along, he didn't hear any footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that those little rascals were standing at the entrance of the alley, not coming in.
"Hey, why don't you come in?"
"We need to find a good spot; we can't all be stuck in traffic. Hurry up and come over. The old man will be generous today—buy one, get one free, how about it?"
The children shook their heads, still staring at him without moving.
The noodle seller, seeing that he couldn't get the children to come, turned around and walked back.
As he approached the children, he suddenly threw a handful of powder from his hand.
The children had prepared in advance; the reason they stood at the entrance of the alley was to see if the noodle seller was, as they suspected, a kidnapper.
If they were kidnappers, they certainly wouldn't let them go.
Sure enough, the children secretly began to channel their inner energy.
Before the noodle seller could even sprinkle out the powder, the children all held their breath and immediately took several steps back.
Dodging the powder, the children shouted, "Catch the kidnapper!"
This was outrageous! There were kidnappers trying to abduct his nephew, and Zhao Qing was frantic.
Holding the chestnuts in his hands, he used his light-footed skills to fly towards the children.
"Where are the kidnappers? Has anyone been kidnapped?"
The children pointed to the alley.
The children were quite skilled in martial arts, but they were also worried about a trap and didn't dare to chase after them, thinking, "There might be sleeping pills."
"What, a sleeping drug?"
Zhao Qingbei came over in a hurry and had no idea that there was a sleeping potion, so she was not on guard.
The old man over there, seeing that the sleeping potion wasn't working, was about to resort to force.
As a result, Zhao Qingbei flew over, and the noodle seller, in his nervousness, sprinkled out another handful of sleeping potion.
Zhao Qingbei felt dizzy.
"Damn it, they dared to trick me." It was too late to hold his breath.
Zhao Qingbei threw the chestnuts she was holding at the noodle seller with all her might.
This was infused with internal force; the bags of chestnuts, like bricks, smashed into the face of the noodle seller.
With a scream of agony, the noodle seller collapsed.
Over here, Zhao Qingbei, having exhausted all her strength, also collapsed softly to the ground.
When Da Ya saw this, she quickly reached out to help Zhao Qingyi up.
Da Bao and his other brothers quickly went over to help Zhao Qingyi up and dragged him away from the alleyway.
Da Bao called out loudly, "Could someone please report this to the authorities? There's a kidnapper here. I'll offer one tael of silver as a reward."
People had already heard the Zhao family children shouting that there was a kidnapper, so some people stood nearby to watch the commotion.
Since it was none of their business, no one went forward. But now that they saw there was silver to be had, they all volunteered to go and call the officials.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Whoever brings the official first will receive a tael of silver as a reward."
The kidnapper is drugged and is currently in the alley. Who can help pull him out of the alley, tie him up with a rope, and offer a reward of one tael of silver?
As soon as Da Bao finished speaking, things got lively. People who went to report the news went into the alley and dragged people out.
Among those who went in and dragged people away were the noodle seller's accomplices.
