Gu Xin heard two people talking, then she was put into a sack and lifted onto a cart. Then another person came up next to her. As the cart was being pushed away, Gu Xin nudged the person next to her, and the person next to her nudged her twice. Gu Xin felt relieved, thinking that as long as she could stay by their side, it would be fine.
She was afraid that the two of them would be separated.
Now she's starting to regret it. If she had just held back, what would she have to tell her uncle if something happened?
However, they were already on the bus, and judging from what those two people said, it did seem like they weren't the only ones who had been taken away.
Fine, let's try it as Renren suggested!
...
The princesses and princes of the West prepared a grand birthday gift for Gu Xin: a beautiful float decorated with items from various West countries, including lanterns made based on things unique to their respective regions.
Everything was fine at first. Everyone had checked it, and many people from the Great Zhou Dynasty were watching and praising it. Prince Ahai also said that Miss Xue'er and Princess Xinxin were on their way and probably didn't know about this surprise. But then their float caught fire, and chaos ensued.
Patrols had been increased on the streets of the capital on the Lantern Festival, so the matter was resolved within 15 minutes.
The float that the princesses and princes of the West had prepared for Gu Xin was destroyed, injuring a few civilians, but none of them were seriously injured, and the matter was resolved smoothly.
People went off to other places.
In their view, nothing like this had ever happened during previous lantern festivals. This time, it was because the people from the west didn't know any better and messed up their floats, causing the fire. The west's floats were all destroyed, so everything should be fine now.
It's no wonder people think that way. The princes and princesses from the West made the float so big and beautiful. They've never seen anything like it in the capital. Who knows if it's safe?
Lu Zheng also joined everyone. After the Gu family reunited, they discovered that Gu Xin and Gu Ren were missing.
At first, everyone thought they had been pushed away by the crowd to other places. After a while, when they didn't see them, everyone realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, Gu Yingxue said she wanted to come to West Street. Even if she was pushed aside by the crowd, Gu Xin should have come to West Street after order was restored. Why didn't she come?
And what about Gu Ren? Does he even know the way to West Street? Gu Ren is a handsome little chubby boy. Children are usually kept under close watch during holidays to prevent them from being kidnapped. What if Ren Ren doesn't find Xin Xin but gets kidnapped instead?
Gu En panicked the most because he hadn't managed to stop Gu Ren!
Just then, someone squeezed through the crowd and was about to bump into a little girl when Gu En swerved to avoid it, crashing into a small stall and falling to the ground along with Gu Ren.
Gu Ren was pushed away, and Gu En was even stepped on a few times. By the time he stood up, Gu Ren was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Ren is not tall, so he is really not easy to spot in a crowd.
Gu En looked around immediately, but there were too many people, and the direction he was looking was opposite to the direction Gu Ren had been pushed away, so he couldn't find him at all.
Later, Gu Yingxue and Gu Si met up. They talked about the direction in which Gu Xin and they were separated. They both thought that Gu Xin and Gu Ren were going in the same direction and would definitely meet. With Gu Xin there, Gu Ren would definitely be safe.
But now, so much time has passed, and Gu Xin and Gu Ren still haven't appeared. Everyone is completely panicked.
