Chapter 94: An unexpected turn of events
"Is anyone here?"
"No one, but there are signs of a fire. Go and report to the eldest master!"
Two men who looked like servants muttered, and one of them hurried away with a torch.
Soon, a large group of people came.
The leader was Lin Zhiyu.
After seeing the familiar figure, Chu was shocked and his eyes turned red, and he almost cried out.
"Master, there are signs of a fire here, but I don't know if it was Miss Chu and her friends or..."
"Brother!"
Lin Baoer crawled out of the bushes, howled, and rushed towards Lin Zhiyu.
"Wuwuwu, big brother, you are finally here! If you hadn't come, sister Chu and I would have had to feed the wolves in this wilderness! Wuwuwu, someone wants to kill us! Fortunately, we escaped by ourselves! Otherwise, you might not be able to see me again!"
Lin Baoer hugged Lin Zhiyu's legs and cried breathlessly, wishing she could tell all her sufferings.
At this time, Chu Jingchen also came out, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but because there were other people around, she did not cry out loud.
"Mr. Lin." Her voice trembled, and as soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell from her eyes.
Looking at the two people who were in a panic as if they were fleeing, Lin Zhiyu's heart felt like it was cut by a knife, suffocating and aching.
But in the end, the heart that was hanging in the air was finally put down.
"Go tell Mo Bai, Ru Qian and Lord Chu that the person has been found." He said tremblingly, suppressing his instinct to rush forward, squatting down to wipe Lin Bao'er's dirty face, and comforting her with pity: "Be good, it's okay, let's go home."
This sentence is also what he wanted to say to her.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task! Reward 500 points! ]
...
Lin Mansion Manor near Wanshuiling.
Shen Xuelan, who hurried over, didn't care about anything else, and ran into the house with her skirt lifted.
"Bao'er!"
"Mom!"
As soon as Lin Bao'er saw her, she jumped up from the bed, her mouth flattened, and tears and snot came out.
"Wuwuwu Mom, you almost couldn't see me!" She cried, her milky voice was hoarse a lot, and it was very distressing to hear.
"My precious child!" Shen Xuelan's eyes were red as she hugged her into her arms, her body trembling, and she and Lin Bao'er cried together.
"How are you? Are you injured anywhere? Does it hurt?"
She looked at Lin Bao'er over and over again with tears in her eyes, her voice choking.
"Wuwuwu, it hurts here and there, wuwuwu mother..."
"And here, it hurts too."
"It hurts everywhere."
While saying this, Lin Bao'er exposed her arms and thighs.
Most of these two places were covered with bruises and scratches, and the palms were even covered with cuts, which made Shen Xuelan feel painful.
"My precious child has suffered." She bit her lip and choked, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she pressed Lin Bao'er into her arms again.
The three brothers of the Lin family beside them also looked distressed and self-blaming, wishing they could take the blame for Lin Baoer.
"Mother... have those bad guys been caught?" Lin Baoer sniffed her nose with tears in her eyes, wiped her tears, and rubbed them all on Shen Xuelan.
Shen Xuelansi didn't mind at all and wiped it for her with sympathy, "Don't worry, your father has already sent people to chase her."
"What about Sister Chu? She was injured much more seriously than me." Lin Baoer was worried, "We accidentally rolled down the hillside at that time, and it was Sister Chu who protected me that made me okay, but she got a big wound on her forehead."
"There was so much blood, I almost thought Sister Chu would never wake up, but fortunately, fortunately she is okay."
Lin Zhiyu's expression moved slightly, and he clenched his fists restrainedly.
The more Lin Baoer talked, the more worried she became. She raised her head from Shen Xuelan's arms and said, "Mother, I want to go see Sister Chu."
Shen Xuelan naturally agreed to this. She wanted to thank Chu Jingchen for protecting Lin Baoer all the way. Otherwise, Lin Baoer, a little kid, no matter how smart she was, would not be able to escape from the surrounded mansion alone.
Chu Jingchen had to take care of her all the time.
After arriving at the next room, Lin Baoer rushed directly to the bed.
"Sister Chu, are you okay?"
At this time, Chu Jingchen had already changed into a clean set of clothes, with a layer of scarf tied on his head and wrists. His face was pale and he looked very haggard.
She smiled, rubbed Lin Baoer's head, and said softly, "I'm fine."
"Thanks to Miss Chu, otherwise my Baoer might be..." Shen Xuelan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Chu shook his head in shock, "To be honest, it's all thanks to Bao'er. If it weren't for her in the woodshed, we might not have escaped."
"When we were in the wild, it was Bao'er who found food and water for me while I was asleep, otherwise I might not have been able to survive until you found them."
"Bao'er is the bravest and smartest girl I have ever met. Without her, I can't imagine what would have happened to me now."
"I should thank her."
The tinderbox and the blade were both found by Lin Bao'er. When she was stuck in the dog hole, it was Lin Bao'er who stayed with her. When she was asleep in a tree hole, it was Lin Bao'er who braved the heavy rain to find shelter for her. Even in the cave, it was Lin Bao'er who went alone to find life-saving food and water.
If it weren't for Lin Bao'er, she really couldn't imagine it. Could she really survive in a place full of wolves, tigers and leopards and pursuers?
After hearing this, Shen Xuelan's eyes became even redder.
"I should obviously thank Sister Chu." Lin Bao'er pouted, stretched out her hand to touch the scarf on Chu Jing'er's forehead, and blew it close to her. "If it weren't for Sister Chu, how could I come back intact? I'm afraid I would be missing an arm or a leg."
[This is called a friend in need is a friend indeed! Not only did he not think that I was a burden because I was young, but he also risked his life to protect me. Who can do this nowadays? If Big Brother treats Sister Chu badly in the future, I will definitely not forgive him! Humph! ]
"Okay, let them have a good rest for now."
Lin Qiming, who was late, sighed and rubbed his brows, "I have sent people to chase that group of people. With the official roads, docks, post stations, and intersections all blocked, they can't escape far. There should be news tomorrow."
"Thanks to Lord Lin, otherwise I'm afraid I would be powerless to do this!" Lord Chu sighed.
Lin Qiming was able to send people to mobilize the army, so this is why he sent people to the Lin Mansion to report the news at the beginning, otherwise the Chu family would not be able to catch those thieves at all.
"Where, where."
After returning, Lin Baoer fell asleep in Shen Xuelan's soft voice.
And the rest of the Lin family, except Lin Ruqian, all went to the study in the manor.
"Dad, I sent someone to find out. Although Mr. Xu does not appear to have a close relationship with the Xu family in Western Anhui, he received more than one or two letters from Western Anhui some time ago."
