"Third Sister, we've been looking for you! It's time, let's head to West Street!" Gu Yingxue said, pulling Gu Xin along as Gu Xin and Lu Zheng approached.
"What's fun to do on West Street?" Gu Xin asked.
"Third sister, you'll see when you get there! It's going to be a lot of fun." Gu Ren said cheerfully, sitting on Gu En's shoulders.
"Benren, Enzi is so thin and you are so fat, how can you bear it?" Gu Xin couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of Gu Enzi.
Although Enzi is the same age as her, Xiaoyue is still her younger brother. She can't just take care of the younger one and ignore the older one.
"Third sister, this is my brother, not my younger brother!" Gu Ren said confidently.
"Third sister, it's alright, let him sit! Otherwise he'll run around and get picked up by a kidnapper, and I'll be in big trouble when we get back!" Gu En was quite magnanimous.
"Fine, you brothers are all so loving and respectful, so you're implying I'm the bad guy?" Gu Xin said with a smile.
"Third sister, let's ignore them! They're good brothers, and we're good sisters!" Gu Si said from the side.
Gu Xin broke free from Lu Zheng, took Gu Si's hand with her left hand and Gu Yingxue's hand with her right, then made a face at Gu Ren: "I have more sisters than you! Humph!"
Then they pulled the person towards West Street.
Lu Zheng looked at his empty palms and thought, "That brat Gu Ren!"
In the moment he was stunned, he realized that he was several people away from Gu Xin and her two sisters, and Gu En and Gu Ren were also several people away from him.
"Come quick, look! Something's happened over there! The floats that the princes and princesses of the West have put on are on fire!"
"Not only that, our Sixth Princess and Ninth Prince also did it along with them!"
"Someone's injured! Go see quickly, or the officials will come and drive everyone away!"
The crowd suddenly became lively. People who had just brushed past each other were now almost all rushing towards West Street, and Lu Zheng and the Gu siblings were completely separated.
It was at this moment that Gu Xin was separated from Gu Yingxue and Gu Si. They could only hear each other's voices but could not see each other.
"Sisi, Xue'er!" Gu Xin shouted as she walked forward.
Instead of finding Gu Si and Gu Yingxue, Gu Ren grabbed her arm: "Ouch, Third Sister, someone stepped on my foot!"
Gu Xin instinctively grabbed Gu Ren tightly. He was the one most vulnerable to injury. The other younger siblings had martial arts skills to protect them, but this little fat boy was short, overweight, and young. She couldn't let go of him.
“Where’s Enzi? Weren’t you riding on his shoulders?” Gu Xin asked.
"Someone bumped into me. Ouch, I'm not trying to be mean to my brother, but he really needs to practice. He's not as steady as Dad's shoulders!" Gu Ren also pulled Gu Xin to the side. He didn't want to be squeezed in the crowd; he almost got trampled into a meat patty just now.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's find a higher place and call Sisi and Xue'er." Gu Xin thought for a moment and then picked up Gu Ren.
Gu Ren is ten years younger than Gu Xin, but Gu Xin has practiced martial arts for several years, so carrying Gu Ren through the crowd is no problem for her.
Gu Ren hugged Gu Xin's neck tightly, his eyes darting around. Suddenly, he spotted a few suspicious people. He quickly looked away and observed them out of the corner of his eye. When Gu Xin stood with him in front of a shop, Gu Ren whispered in her ear, "Third Sister, aren't you afraid of poison? It's hard for someone to drug you if you're on guard. Also, aren't you afraid of the methods those human traffickers in Da Zhou use?"
Gu Xin: "?"
