Chapter 260
As the group approached, they saw the bright red swaddled baby lying quietly by the river.
"Is the child still there?" Xu Qingshi was the first to rush over, and Jiang Yu behind him asked nervously.
"Hey!" The baby in the swaddling clothes opened its big eyes and occasionally kicked its little feet, looking very happy.
"You little ingrate, you almost got thrown into the river," Xu Qingshi said, looking at Gu Nuonuo.
"What do we do now?" Xie Yanzhi looked at the small child and didn't know what to do.
"Let's get out of here quickly!" Xu Qingshi frowned, afraid that the person would come back soon.
"Can you get up and walk by yourself?" Xu Qingshi asked, frowning as he looked at Gu Nuonuo on the ground.
"Oh!" Little Gu Nuonuo didn't understand what Xu Qingshi meant by those words, but she was happy to hear them.
"I'm asking you a question," Xu Qingshi frowned and asked again.
"During the Qing Dynasty, could she actually be unable to speak?" Xie Yanzhi stared at her for a long time before finally asking cautiously.
"Can't speak? Could it be a little mute?" Xu Qingshi looked at the child on the ground again, his brows furrowed.
"Then does that mean she can't walk either?" Xu Qingshi asked Xie Yanzhi, who was standing to the side.
"I don't know either!" Xie Yanzhi shook his head and looked at Jiang Yu beside him.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either, but judging from her appearance, it shouldn't be," Jiang Yu said cruelly.
"Then pick her up," Xu Qingshi said to Xie Yanzhi.
"Me?" Xie Yanzhi looked at Xu Qingshi with suspicion. How could he possibly do such a thing?
"If it wasn't you, then who was it? Do I look like I would do that?" Xu Qingshi said angrily.
Xie Yanzhi gritted his teeth and could only reach out to hug him, but he didn't know where to start.
"I can't do it, why don't you do it?" Xie Yanzhi asked Jiang Yu, who was watching the show from the side.
"You think I can do it? You think I can?" Jiang Yu retorted angrily.
"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying," Xu Qingshi said again.
"Then why don't you come yourself?" Jiang Yu asked, dissatisfied.
"The strong are always the last to appear," Xu Qingshi said with a smug look.
Unable to persuade Xu Qingshi, Jiang Yu had no choice but to reach out and try to pick up the child.
However, he was just a child, and he failed several times.
“The strong one, it’s your turn.” Jiang Yu shrugged and looked at Xu Qingshi with a somewhat innocent expression.
Xu Qingshi tried to pick up the child, but unfortunately, he was too weak.
"I can't do it either," Xu Qingshi said, somewhat frustrated.
"Then why don't we go back and find the adults?" Jiang Yu thought for a moment. They were all children, and he knew he couldn't carry them back.
Then we'll have to ask an adult to solve it.
"Can you still find your way?" Xu Qingshi asked with a doubtful look.
Left with no other choice, the group finally decided to carry the child back together.
Perfectly, the swaddling clothes were placed at each of the four corners, one for each person.
The last person takes two corners, and the group takes turns taking two corners.
Just as the children lifted up, they saw Xiaolian return.
"Run!" Xu Qingshi shouted quickly.
Xiaolian thought it over and over, but leaving the child by the river was still too close. If someone picked the child up, there was still a chance that the child could be found.
Although such a young child would not be able to identify her, this would prevent the masters from realizing their plans.
Several children carried the corners of their blankets and ran frantically.
Xiaolian's attention was only focused on the riverbank. Besides, there were families and children on this side, so she never suspected anything.
Seeing the empty riverbank made me feel a little panicked.
The child just disappeared?
