Lu Xingxing tightened her grip on Panpan's hand. The train conductor was still shouting for passengers to board, but Lu Xingxing didn't care about anything else. She boarded the train first with the child in her arms, while Qiao Wanyue and Lu Yunqi had already found their seats.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the anger on her face, Qiao Wanyue asked.
Lu Xingxing recounted what had just happened.
"Sister-in-law, should we call the police? That child doesn't look like theirs."
Qiao Wanyue shook her head, "If we rashly step forward, we'll only alert them. Besides, you've already attracted their attention. We have children with us. We can't let other people's children hurt ours. You should learn from your sister-in-law and tie a rope around Panpan and yourself."
Lu Xingxing dared not be careless this time.
Sister-in-law Lu prepared several ropes.
At this moment, the couple also arrived in the same train carriage and sat at the very back.
"Brother, find a chance to go to the restroom later and talk to the train police. Try to get some information out of them. If they really are a couple, then forget it. If not, it's still saving a family."
Lu Yunqi nodded.
Sister-in-law Lu dared not let go of Lu Hui at this moment. She would never be able to have any other children in her life. If Lu Hui were to die, it would be the death of her. She held Lu Hui's hand tightly, not letting her out of her sight.
Lu Yunqi bought a six-seat car. The two rows of seats facing each other are for them. The two children sit in the innermost seats, and the adults sit in the outermost seats. There is enough space for the children to move around.
The train was five minutes late, having departed earlier than expected. The passengers were still sleepy, and as soon as they boarded, they started snoring loudly, filling the carriage with a cacophony of noise, occasionally mixed with the calls of geese and chickens.
It was bustling with activity.
The train went directly to the military region, passing through more than 20 stations along the way, and took 36 hours. Hard seats were a challenge for both adults and children. He only bought a hard seat because there were no six consecutive hard sleeper berths available.
The train traveled all morning, and the scenery outside the window changed from snow-covered landscapes to lush greenery. At each stop, the train conductor would give a reminder.
Qiao Wanyue slept for half a day, but was no longer sleepy. So she rested her face on her hand and looked out the window. The blue sky, white clouds, and warm sunshine shone on the bushes, like a painting. It seemed that the smell in the carriage was not so bad anymore.
At this moment, Lu Yunqi returned from the restroom.
He said in a low voice, "There's a problem. They've switched the children."
Qiao Wanyue did not turn around.
Her seat was facing away from the back of the train. Turning around at this moment would be tantamount to telling the human traffickers that they had noticed something amiss with them.
"What did the train police officer say?"
Lu Yunqi: "The train police have joined forces with the police at the next station to arrest these people. There will definitely be a conflict later. You all take good care of the children while I assist the train police."
Qiao Wanyue nodded.
It is now imperative to protect the children.
None of them could sleep, and Sister-in-law Lu and Lu Xingxing held the child tightly.
Qiao Wanyue picked out a few handy weapons from her spatial storage, pretended to take them out of her small bag, and stuffed one into Lu Yunqi's hand. The one she gave Lu Yunqi was a common hammer, meant to smash his head with one blow.
Lu Yunqi looked down at the thing in his hand and was stunned for a moment. Why would his sister-in-law have such a thing? Then he thought about it and realized that they must have encountered the same situation when they went to the military region two years ago.
My sister-in-law is the most thoughtful.
Upon closer inspection, Qiao Wanyue was holding a sharp knife.
Similar to self-defense knives from abroad, it is exquisite and highly lethal.
Qiao Wanyue then stuffed the chili water she had prepared in advance into the hands of her sister-in-law and Xingxing.
Even the two little ones were holding toy guns.
At least it can fool people for a while.
Twenty minutes later, the train conductor announced that the station had arrived and that passengers who needed to get off should disembark on their own and not crowd.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu Xingxing got off the bus from the other end with Panpan.
Two pairs of eyes followed them closely from behind.
The couple exchanged a glance.
