Chen Shuxu also looked anxious and put Qiaomei back on the carriage.
Logically, he should have stayed to take care of Qiaomei, after all, she was also frightened today.
But he was also worried that Xiao Lingling might be in danger, and he felt a little uneasy for a while.
Qiaomei felt a little sad, but still smiled.
"Brother, you can go too. There are officials all around, so no one will dare to mess around. It's okay with me.
Xiao Lingling saved me, I owe her that, brother, if you can help me find it, I'll feel better!"
Chen Shuxu nodded when he heard this. "Okay, then you wait here obediently for your brother. I'll go help look for him and be back soon."
After saying that, he rushed out without waiting for Qiaomei to speak.
Qiaomei opened her mouth and wanted to remind him to be careful, but when she saw the back of the figure running away quickly, she swallowed the words back.
She couldn't help shedding a tear, leaning weakly against the carriage, in a daze...
In one afternoon, Wu Bokai personally led his men to search almost the entire small Huaxiang County, but still to no avail.
The little bell would also be called every half hour, but there was still no news.
As the sky grew darker, Xiao Lingling felt for the first time that the county magistrate did not seem very reliable.
Now it seems that I may have to save myself!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside.
Xiao Lingling quickly stuffed the cloth strips back into the children's clothes and lay on the ground, pretending to be tied up and asleep.
Soon, the door of the room was opened and two men came in, one of whom was the man who had kidnapped her.
They held a basket in their hands and threw it on the ground impatiently.
"Behave yourself, everyone! I'm taking off the cloth strips for you so you can eat. If anyone doesn't behave, you'll continue to starve!"
Xiao Lingling had already explained everything to everyone before, and no one wanted to go hungry, so they cooperated obediently and let the bad guys stuff the buns into their mouths.
Little Lingling's mouth was not big, and she almost choked to death when the stuffing happened.
Xiao Lingling was choked with tears and looked at the man.
I don’t know why, but the other party suddenly softened his heart for a moment and his movements became gentler.
Unexpectedly, the woman from before suddenly came to the door and spoke to the two men in a very impatient tone.
"Hurry up! Just feed it a couple of mouthfuls! We'll set off right away at midnight!"
It's all your fault. You were so careless and exposed such an important characteristic. I haven't had a peaceful afternoon.
Let's leave the city quickly and trade with these people at the next place.
Go take care of the others and let these kids have a good sleep. Don't let anything go wrong!"
The two men did not dare to refute when being scolded. They could only nod quickly, stuffed steamed buns into the hands of the last two children, and hurriedly locked the door and went out to pack up.
Little Lingling was startled and thought to herself that this was not good. It must be because the noise outside was too loud and made them feel unsafe!
As soon as those people left, Xiao Lingling tried to summon the spell again.
This time she planned to last for a quarter of an hour, and it was also the last chance she gave Wu Bokai.
It was indeed not quiet outside that afternoon. In addition to Wu Bokai and the Lin family looking for someone, Qin Yu and Jiang Xinian were also looking for someone.
It's just that they used extraordinary means.
Jiang Xinian called out the people who were secretly protecting him and used their usual intelligence gathering methods to search for him.
Although casting a wide net takes a long time, the information collected is the most comprehensive.
Afterwards, the two of them screened out some more reliable information, immediately split up and began targeted investigations.
The little bell struggled for a quarter of an hour, and when it thought it was going to be disappointed again, it suddenly felt the response of the spell.
This meant that someone was looking at the talisman. Little Bell suppressed her excitement and immediately made the patterns on the talisman clearer.
The person holding the talisman was Wu Bokai. After searching for an entire afternoon, he still had no clue.
Because he was worried about the health of Zhao and the others, he took them for a short rest and asked the servants to bring them some water and food.
Zhao had no appetite at all now. She started to stare blankly after drinking two sips of water.
She couldn't understand why her granddaughter suddenly disappeared.
She always felt that something was not right.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and slapped her thigh.
"No, no, no! This is not right! Xiao Lingdang knows Kung Fu. Qiaomei said that Xiao Lingdang's hands and feet were not bound at the time, and she could still punch and kick.
However, I have seen with my own eyes how strong Xiao Lingling is and how steady her horse stance is. There is no way she couldn't break free!
What on earth is going on here?"
Wu Bokai was also stunned. If it were someone else, he would definitely not believe it.
But if it was that clever little bell, he would find it somewhat credible.
Suddenly, I remembered Xiao Lingling's interest in those human traffickers in the morning, and even asked about the amount of the reward several times. I immediately started to speculate.
He took out the talisman that Xiao Lingling had forced upon him with some doubt, and was surprised to find that the talisman was actually flashing with light?
This scared him to death.
Zhao subconsciously glanced over and saw the changes in the patterns on it. She immediately guessed, "This, was this given by Xiao Lingling?"
Wu Bokai nodded and recounted what happened that morning.
Now Zhao knew what was going on and was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"This unfortunate kid! He was probably taken away on purpose! Hurry, quickly follow this arrow and find him!"
Wu Bokai did not dare to delay and immediately summoned all the yamen runners to chase after him quietly.
When Xiao Lingling saw that there was news about the talisman, she stopped hiding it.
She knew that the human traffickers were about to make a move, and even wanted to run away, which was absolutely not allowed!
She didn't want to end up working for nothing.
She quietly got up and walked around the children, comforting them in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, the county magistrate has already brought people here. Just take a nap and you'll be home when you wake up!"
After saying that, she gently touched their necks with her little hands, and the children fell into a deep sleep.
After everyone fell asleep, she gently jumped onto the beam, gathered up a few tiles, and crawled out from the roof.
The yard was not big, and in the moonlight, she could clearly see those people packing things in the yard.
The woman swayed as she emerged from the room. "Alright, we're almost done packing. Stun those kids, bring them out, and put them in the trap. We'll be heading out soon!"
Just as Xiao Lingling was about to make a move, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She was so scared that her calves went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
