Li Xiaotao was genuinely terrified of Yang the bully, so it's understandable that she would be too scared to move when she suddenly saw him.
It's easy to imagine what happened next.
Once Han Qingyuan thought about it this way, he understood everything.
The Yang family is really good at scheming!
They could also pin the blame on Yang the bully, since it would be reasonable for Yang the bully to want revenge.
I reckon the man who made the deal with the maid is nowhere to be found now.
It will be difficult for them to find evidence against the Yang family when the time comes.
"It's all my fault. I'm the one who harmed Xiaotao. I should have killed him back then!"
Han Qingyuan slapped himself several times with one hand.
Tang Jian reached out to stop him.
"Given the shameful nature of the Yang family, even if Yang the bully dies, there will be others. Don't blame yourself."
Fortunately, Li Xiaotao and the child were both rescued, and now we just need to wait for Li Xiaotao to wake up.
Given Han Qingyuan's feelings for Li Xiaotao and her son, if something were to really happen to them, Qingyuan would probably go insane.
Han Qingyuan dejectedly lowered his hand, even though he knew in his heart that Tang Jian was right.
However, he still regrets his past leniency.
He slowly got up. He wanted to see Xiao Tao and stay with her until she woke up.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm going to see Xiaotao now."
Han Qingyuan's ghostly voice filled the couple with worry.
I just hope Xiaotao is safe and sound, otherwise...
Tang Jian turned to look at Tian Bu'er standing to the side and said emphatically:
"Find Yang Tianba immediately and kill him without mercy!"
"yes!"
Knowing that Han Qingyuan's mind was currently focused on Li Xiaotao, Lin Zao pulled Tang Jian to go see the child, just to put her mind at ease.
With his only remaining right hand, Han Qingyuan gently brushed away the wet hair from Li Xiaotao's cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.
I vaguely recalled the time when they first met.
At that time, he was depressed because of his severed hand, wandered around, and drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
When they passed through a mountain road in Stone Town, they happened to encounter a few scoundrels harassing Li Xiaotao.
He thought he was just passing by, and the thugs, seeing his dirty and disheveled appearance and the fact that he only had one hand, assumed he was a beggar and ignored him.
Who knew that those scoundrels, seeing Li Xiaotao's continued resistance, harbored malicious intentions and wanted to force themselves on her.
This caught Han Qingyuan's eye. Even though he only had one hand left, he was still a well-known scout in the military camp, and his legs were especially nimble.
They went up and gave the thugs a good beating, making them cry for their parents. They didn't dare stay and ran away faster than anything else.
After realizing she had been rescued, Li Xiaotao was very grateful to him, but she was still a little scared when she saw Han Qingyuan's appearance.
After all, he hadn't taken care of himself in a long time; the lower half of his face was almost covered in beard, and he had a strange, frightening odor.
Han Qingyuan didn't care about his image at all, ignored the girl, and prepared to leave with his wine gourd.
Little did he know that Li Xiaotao was following him the whole time. Since there was only one road up the mountain, he didn't bother to pay attention.
As a result, she followed him for a whole day. When he stopped, she stopped too; when he walked, she followed.
Now he knew exactly what was going on: the girl was now clinging to him.
He coldly shooed her away, and she looked at him pitifully with her big, dark eyes.
He threatened to sell her, and she cried softly.
There was nothing he could do but pretend he didn't see her; let her follow him if she wanted.
Later, when she ran out of food, she preferred to go hungry rather than leave in order to keep up with him.
