Chapter 449 The Child Was Found
Now everything was aligned, and without any hesitation, Gu Yanchen directly put his arm around Ran Qingxuan's waist and walked over the high wall.
The man was cursing, but suddenly his eyes blurred and he saw two black shadows landing in front of him.
"Ghost..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Yanchen stepped forward and knocked the man unconscious with a punch. Ran Qingxuan then walked towards the backyard where he had just come out.
The backyard was full of debris and a skinny mule. In the messy environment, Ran Qingxuan didn't even see the child he was looking for.
"Oh no! I should have asked where those kids are first. Now that I knocked him out, I can't get anything out of him!"
"There should be a secret door here, otherwise everyone would hear all the crying children."
Ran Qingxuan thought about it and realized that there was no one in the wilderness, so he took out a head-mounted flashlight from the space and put it on his head.
The two kept walking inside and passed by a pigsty. Two pigs, which had only a few pounds of meat on them, sensed the light and started squeaking.
It was at this moment that Gu Yanchen keenly heard an extremely faint crying sound coming from the front.
"Just ahead."
The two men walked forward a few steps and saw a very small room. They thought the child was inside, but when they opened the room, they found only some things used for killing pigs.
"It seems that this man should be a butcher. He doesn't have any children!"
Gu Yanchen shook his head: "I clearly heard the sound just now, it can't be wrong."
Ran Qingxuan calmed down, and after a moment of silence, they immediately heard a small cry, and the cry came from under their feet.
Gu Yanchen stomped his feet on the ground and found the corner of the wall little by little.
'Knock knock...'
"It's a hollow sound, there's a cellar down there!"
The two men breathed out cold air, squatted down together, lifted the animal fur under their feet, and opened the leaky wooden board to reveal a square hole.
There was a patinated wooden ladder standing by the wall, and Gu Yanchen put it into the hole.
The firelight coming from the bottom of the passage cheered Ran Qingxuan up, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.
"I'll go down and bring the child into the space, and you stay up there to guard it."
"May I?"
Gu Yanchen was afraid that these children would reveal her secret, but Ran Qingxuan shook his head and showed no worry at all.
"It doesn't matter. I will let the children sleep first, and then find a suitable opportunity to release them after I get out. They won't remember it."
After all, so many children can only be taken away if they are put into the space.
Ran Qingxuan entered the cellar wearing a searchlight on her head. Only when she reached the innermost part did she see the situation in the cellar clearly.
There was a fire burning in the middle of the cellar. Twenty or so dirty children huddled together. Seeing such a strange white light, all the children subconsciously squinted their eyes.
There were gnawed radish tops scattered on the cellar floor and a wooden barrel filled with feces and urine in the corner. The situation was really bad.
At the innermost part, there were five children with pale faces, and they coughed from time to time.
But the strange thing is that as soon as they coughed, the older children nearby would immediately cover their mouths with their hands, as if to prevent them from making too loud a sound.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan approaching, the child who was covering his mouth said in fear: "We didn't make any sound, please don't hit us..."
"Don't hit us, we won't cry, we won't cry anymore..."
Ran Qingxuan felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak in front of these children, for fear of revealing her flaws and being remembered.
With a wave of his hand, all the children fell asleep in just three seconds. Ran Qingxuan didn't have time to check the five coughing children, and directly moved everyone into the space.
After she made sure there was no other passage in the cellar, she entered the space and woke up Chang Fang and others who were still sleeping.
"What's wrong, Sister Ran, what time is it?"
"Go and call Qu Feng, the group of kids have been found."
"Ah? Found the child?"
Chang Fang was originally dazed and sleepy, but when she heard that the child had been found she immediately perked up and sat up from the bed.
"I have to go out quickly with Gu Yanchen. You treat the children first, but try not to wake them up."
"Okay, go ahead and leave this to us."
Fortunately, in order to let Pan Shaonan, who was being hunted, hide, several people had entered the space. There were a lot of children, otherwise she would not be able to treat them all by herself.
Qi Mingjing was originally sleeping in the patient rest area. Suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be several more breathing sounds around him. He was so startled that he slowly sat up.
Picking up the handheld lamp beside the bed, he discovered that there were dozens of children in the room.
Not only that, just as he was about to get up and turn on all the lights, the door was pushed open, and Qu Feng, Chang Fang and Pan Shaonan hurried in.
"Did it wake you up to rest?"
"I'm fine, what are these kids?"
Chang Fang took a blanket from the cupboard and said hastily, "Let's check the child first and explain to you later."
Qi Mingjing also got up, put on his slippers, and covered the nearby child with a quilt.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Chang Fang for several days, his health is much better now, and he has no problem walking short distances.
The three of them worked together so well that Qi Mingjing saw hope again.
After Qu Feng's diagnosis and treatment, twenty-seven children had lung infections of varying degrees and their bodies were covered with frostbite that had ulcerated. However, they did not die. It was truly a blessing from God.
The five children with the most serious conditions were given anti-inflammatory drugs, and the remaining children were also given glucose supplements. Nearly an hour later, Ran Qingxuan came in from outside carrying the inner clothes worn by ancient children.
At this time, she and Gu Yanchen had just returned to the Charity Bureau. Gu Yanchen stayed outside waiting for news from his subordinates, while she came in to see what the situation was inside.
Only then did Chang Fang explain to Qi Mingjing why there were so many children, but ignored how these children appeared.
Qi Mingjing, who knew no martial arts and had no internal strength, thought that they were afraid of disturbing his rest and brought people in quietly, so he didn't think too much about it.
Upon learning that a month ago a group of "bandits" had kidnapped young children, Qi Mingjing was furious.
"Such a ridiculous thing happened under the feet of the emperor. These bandits are simply lawless.
It's just pitiful that these children and their parents are separated and frightened. ”
The worry was real, but Chang Fang still couldn't accept the ancient people's solemn and serious tone, and couldn't help shivering.
Unexpectedly, the next second Qi Mingjing suddenly said to Chang Fang: "Miss Chang, why are you shivering? Are you cold?"
Just as she was about to say that she should put on more clothes if she was cold, Chang Fang shook her head: "It's not cold, I just thought those people were too cruel, and I'm glad that these children were rescued."
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at the two of them in confusion, then lowered his head to do his own thing.
"These children can be sent back at any time, but for now we have to find a suitable reason."
After treating the child's injuries, it was already past six in the morning. They returned to the cabin and were at a loss as to how to send the child back.
