Chapter 438 Looking for the Child
"Not ordinary..." Lu Jing didn't know what he was thinking about and his eyes widened in surprise.
She gasped and looked around in panic, making sure that no one else could hear her before she whispered:
"Do you think Yina is the princess of Beili who was stranded outside?"
Gu Xixi shook her head, "I don't know."
Lu Jing was addicted to reasoning, and frowned, "Or... the queen?"
Gu Xixi said, "Beili just got a new king, so their queen won't be stranded in Daye."
She paused and said, "Don't think about it anymore. The military knows about the existence of these two people, and it's not our turn to worry about them anyway."
Ina's every move and gesture reveals the temperament of a superior.
But Gu Xixi has no real evidence, and at present she can only be sure that this woman is definitely not an ordinary businessman.
He is from Beili, but his identity is a mystery.
If they are really as they say, then they are just staying here helplessly.
If you have ulterior motives or other purposes...
Gu Xixi looked at the distant sky and sighed softly.
"We just need to be careful and try not to have any interaction with her recently."
Lu Jing was just thinking about making something delicious to send to Yina.
After hearing what Gu Xixi said, he immediately put away his thoughts and his expression became serious, "Okay, I understand."
She didn't ask any further questions, believing that there must be a reason why Xixi said that.
Gu Xixi added, "Let's look around for those two kids."
"Auntie Lin should go find it first."
Lu Jing suddenly realized that Aunt Lin was not there just now because she went to look for the missing girl.
The layout of the dependents' village is very simple, with only houses and no farmland.
There are only a few places where children usually play in the village.
I guess everyone must have searched everywhere early in the morning.
Gu Xixi walked towards the fields outside the village.
"Xiao Xiu'er! Doudou!!"
Lu Jing was puzzled. "I didn't see you ask whose child was missing just now. How do you know the name?"
Gu Xixi said, "When they saw their mother pointing at Yi Na and asking for her child, she almost cried."
"We just went to Yina's place, but the two of them didn't follow us. They must have continued to look for the child."
Lu Jing nodded, "Indeed, as a mother, I love my child the most."
She cheered herself up and said, "Let's work harder and find the child as soon as possible."
"Xiao Xiu! Dou Dou! Where are you!!"
Not far out of the village, I met Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin shook her head and sighed, "I haven't found it yet."
Gu Xixi briefly told her what had just happened in the village.
"For now, mother and child are safe, don't worry."
It wasn't surprising that Aunt Lin looked worried.
"We are not on the same page. If I let them stay here, I would have thought that something might happen at some point."
"Fortunately, you are here today, so things didn't get out of hand."
It was already noon and the villagers were all looking for their children; today's harvest had not yet begun.
The search continued through the oat field, and voices calling for the two children were heard everywhere.
Lu Jing wiped his sweat and said, "What should I do? I have searched everywhere I can around here."
Gu Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back first."
"Go back?" Lu Jing trotted after them.
The carriage that brought them here was left in the courtyard so that Gu Xixi could use it at any time.
Two horses were tied in the shade under the courtyard wall.
Gu Xixi led one of the horses and left, "I'm going to take a look at the fields that the army has reclaimed."
"Just rest at home for a while and change the well water for making sour plum drink. I'll want some when I come back."
Lu Jing sighed and chased for a few steps, but then he had to stop when he realized that he was not yet proficient in riding a horse.
She turned around and walked back, looking at the remaining horse, muttering, "You know, I learned to drive a cart pretty quickly, but how come I haven't mastered riding skills even after learning it for so long?"
"Is it because I've been riding a mule?"
The horses chewed the hay, making a clacking sound, speechless.
Gu Xixi galloped on his horse as soon as he left the village.
The fields reclaimed by the army are very vast, and it would take a whole day to find them all just by walking.
By this time, the Northwest Army soldiers had harvested more than half of the oat fields.
There will be some wheat grains and ears left in these fields.
Last year, some little kids went a long way to pick oats in the military fields.
As the horses galloped, they saw harvested fields along the way.
There was no one else nearby because the soldiers of the Northwest Army were busy a little further away.
Gu Xixi searched with her eyes while calling out to Xiaoxiuer and Doudou.
As she was running, a black horse caught up with her from behind.
"Xixi! Gu Xixi!"
Amid the whistling of the wind in my ears, I could vaguely hear a familiar voice.
Gu Xixi turned her head in surprise, "Mu Nanzhao! Why are you here?"
Mu Nanzhao's horse caught up a bit and ran side by side with Gu Xixi.
"I was in the army and heard someone report that I saw Boss Gu riding a horse alone for some reason from afar."
"They are a bunch of gentlemen, and they all wear little when doing farm work. They didn't dare to come over to stop you, so they had to send someone back to report and see if there is anything they can help with."
Gu Xixi smiled, "Yes!"
So, under Mu Nanzhao's arrangement, the soldiers who were harvesting outside the military camp stopped their work and dispersed to look for the children.
Although none of the two little girls’ biological fathers were among them.
But they are all comrades-in-arms, so these uncles and aunts will naturally do their best to find people.
There is strength in numbers. It only took a cup of tea for the response to come.
When Gu Xixi rode the horse, holding the two little girls in front of him, they returned to the outside of the family village.
The women were all running excitedly, shouting to inform others,
"We found Xiu'er and Doudou! We found them all!"
"Both children are fine, nothing's wrong!"
Soon everyone ran over and happily surrounded Gu Xixi's horse.
Gu Xixi turned over and got down from the ground, picking up the children one by one.
The two mothers were terribly frightened.
After the initial joy of seeing my child safe and sound, I was still filled with fear.
The bean lady grabbed the little girl and slapped her butt, "Where have you been?"
"You left the house before dawn without even saying hello to your mother!"
"I told you to run around, I told you to run around!"
Xiu'er's mother twisted her daughter's ear and said, "You are two years older than Doudou, and you are the older sister. Was it you who came up with this idea?"
"You are really careless. Is it because your mother can't control you that your father has to do it?"
Doudou didn't hide when his mother beat him, but just sobbed.
Xiu'er grimaced in pain, "Mom, mom, stop pulling, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
The aunts, grandmothers, and other onlookers also thought that the child should be taught a lesson for being so noisy.
But after watching for a while, they felt so distressed that they started to dissuade them.
Those who protect the children will protect the children, and those who protect the adults will protect the adults.
The two little girls were rescued in a flash.
Gu Xixi finally found an opportunity to speak, "The two kids are really kind-hearted, but something went wrong with their plans."
She turned and looked behind her.
Mu Nanzhao stood there, having taken down the two backpacks from the horse's back and placed them on the ground.
