He used all his strength to break free from the two people restraining him, and quickly pulled out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and sprinkled it on the dwarf.
The powder was corrosive, and the dwarf let out a scream. The bamboo tube fell to the ground. The insect, which had also been corroded by the powder, hid back inside the bamboo tube, its current situation unknown.
The two people who had been freed reacted, pinned the man down again, knocked the dog unconscious with a slap, and then asked the dwarf, "Are you alright?"
The dwarf was still rolling on the ground when another sharp-eyed person noticed that the dwarf's skin was starting to ulcerate. However, he didn't rush to check on the dwarf's condition. Instead, he picked up the bamboo tube on the ground to check on the insects. As a result, there were no insects left, only a puddle of water.
"Oh shit!"
He threw the bamboo tube on the ground and said angrily, "The Gu worms are gone. If I had known this little brat would be so difficult to deal with, I should have used a stronger incense!"
"So what do we do now?"
The tall man was also annoyed. He threw the dog into a pile of hay nearby and then went to check on the dwarf.
The dwarf had already fainted. When they pushed his hand away, they saw that the skin on his face, neck, and hands was all ulcerated and oozing yellow fluid.
What is so poisonous?
He wanted to reach out and take it, but he was afraid of being poisoned, so he thought about it and decided not to.
The person next to him said, "That brat has a lot of good stuff on him. Go and take it all. See if you can find out the formula. We can use it for our own purposes in the future."
"What about the second child?"
"What can we do? It's just bad luck. We can't save him. We'll take him back to someone to see if he can be saved. It's up to fate."
As they talked, the two men lifted the dwarf to lie down beside them and then discussed, "Without the control of the Gu worms, how are we going to deal with that family? Our master told us to get the Pangu Jade at all costs. If we fail to complete the mission, how will we explain ourselves when we get back?"
"Then we'll have to go head-to-head. Who knew this little brat had such a trick up his sleeve?"
As they talked, they sighed. It was their mistake; if they had searched the brat earlier, their second son wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
But now that things have come to a head, we must prioritize the overall situation.
The two then discussed it and tied up the dog. They then prepared to set up an ambush outside and wait for Lu Baichuan to come to their door.
However, to their surprise, the dog woke up shortly after they left.
The place where he was hit hurt a little, but he didn't care about that at all. He struggled for a while despite the pain, and found that all his belongings had been taken away. He couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
Then he saw a dwarf lying in the corner, his body beginning to fester, clearly not having much time left. He struggled to get up, walked to the dwarf, and painstakingly pulled a small knife from his body with his back to the wall. Then he began to cut the ropes binding him.
Meanwhile, Lu Baichuan found the place where Gou'er was kidnapped, and after a careful investigation, he discovered that there were only two people involved.
There were two people, but no one was secretly standing guard.
This shows that the other party has a certain level of strength and is confident enough in him. Of course, since they were able to take Gou'er away without anyone noticing, Lu Baichuan dared not let his guard down. There are always people more capable than you in this world, and you must always be vigilant.
He stood on the book and looked through the binoculars for a while, taking in everything the two were doing, including the traps they had set up. He once again marveled at how amazing his wife was, having so many good things that saved him a lot of trouble.
I thought they would go back after setting up what they were doing, but I didn't expect them to go and set up something else.
Lu Baichuan: ...
Well, he overestimated their intelligence.
Without further hesitation, he avoided the two men and headed into the cabin. Before he even entered, he could hear the sounds of someone struggling.
Lu Baichuan opened the wooden door and saw a dog pretending to be dead on the ground, and a dwarf whose face was unrecognizable and who was tied up. The man had probably just woken up and was trying to make a sound, but his mouth was gagged.
Hearing familiar footsteps, the dog opened its eyes and saw that it was indeed its father. Excitedly, it scrambled to its feet and exclaimed, "Daddy, you came to save me so quickly!"
Lu Baichuan responded and carefully examined the dog's body. Apart from a red and swollen bruise on its neck and a bloodstain on its hand, it was fine elsewhere.
He slapped the dwarf unconscious with a backhand, then pulled his son outside.
"Go back and let your mother take a good look at you. She gave birth to a little sister this morning. You can hold her when you get back."
With no one around, the father and son even started chatting.
"What a little girl! It's such a pity I wasn't there to witness her birth."
The dog pouted, feeling a little disappointed, but mostly guilty. His mother was giving birth today, and he had been kidnapped. His mother must have been very worried.
And my grandparents, they're old, they must have been terrified.
"Father, I will definitely study martial arts harder in the future so that no one can kidnap me easily."
He looked up at Lu Baichuan with a determined gaze.
While keeping an eye on the surroundings, Lu Baichuan comforted you, "Don't overthink it. It's not your fault. I underestimated their abilities, which is why you suffered this. I'm sorry."
Lately, I've been focusing all my energy on my wife giving birth, so I haven't been paying much attention to my dog. Luckily, he's alright, otherwise he wouldn't forgive himself.
His wife had always said that even if they had another child, they shouldn't neglect their love and care for Gou'er. He agreed verbally, but in reality, he felt that Gou'er was grown up and he could focus on his wife and daughter. As a result, Gou'er was kidnapped.
Gou'er is not even ten years old yet, and he is the child he owes the most to. He should not reduce his care for Gou'er just because Gou'er is sensible enough.
“Father, you did nothing wrong to me, it’s the bad people’s fault.”
Gou'er spoke very seriously. He had never felt that his father had let him down. In previous years, his father had done great things that benefited the country and the people. Later, when he reunited with his family, his father, though busy, always made time to be with him, teach him martial arts, and accompany him in his studies. Now, his father was even traveling the world with him and his mother, something that many fathers could not do.
He was very content, and even felt fortunate to have such good parents.
Recently, my mother is going to give birth to my younger sister, which is the most concerning thing for the whole family. Not to mention my father, even he wants to stick to my mother's side all the time, just in case something unexpected happens.
Today, he only regretted not being with his mother on such an important day, but he never thought anything bad about his father.
Lu Baichuan turned around, patted his head, and smiled, "You're right."
"If you want to leave, you'll have to ask us first!"
The father and son hadn't gone far when they were stopped by the two men, and the two sides faced each other directly.
Lu Baichuan shielded the dog behind him, gave it a few small bottles for self-defense, and then drew the long sword from his waist.
