The child was also well-behaved. He held on to the corner of her clothes tightly and followed her closely, as if he needed to rely on someone to feel safe.
It was not too late, and after Shen Mingxu and the others finished their game of throwing pots, Yu Huan told them about the child, and then they planned to go back.
The streets were still bustling with the same number of people as when we first arrived.
Suddenly, several fierce and sinister faces appeared in the dark corner. The little girl clutched Yu Huan's clothes tightly, extremely frightened, but did not make a sound.
Yu Huan was just watching a fire-breathing circus on the roadside when he felt the force of the pull and hurriedly bent down to ask her what was wrong.
Shen Zhongfang and Shen Mingxu fell behind, staring intently at an artist who could change his face.
The juggler had done enough poses and finally sprayed a mouthful of oil on the torch. In an instant, the flames rose high and rolled in the air like a fire dragon.
The cheers were so deafening that they drowned out the sound of footsteps approaching slowly in the darkness.
Suddenly, a few children rushed over from a distance, forcing the guards who were close to them to take a few steps back. Then a row of artists who were about to perform passed by, blocking the guards' steps.
The captain of the guards felt inexplicably uneasy and could not wait for the group to pass, so he squeezed two steps over there.
What made his pupils tremble in the sea of people was that the person was gone.

The little girl who was holding her was shaking violently, staring at the back of her. Yu Huan was about to look back when a handkerchief was thrust in front of her, covering her mouth and nose.
After a few breaths, she lost consciousness.
The little girl was so frightened that she tried to run away in panic, but the person chasing her grabbed her arm.
When Yu Huan opened her eyes again, she found herself locked in an unfamiliar room. Her jewelry and safety lock had been taken away, and the room, doors, and windows were all locked tightly, clearly a place designed to lock people up.
The little girl who had always been by her side was also locked in the room. She huddled in a corner, trembling with fear. Unlike before, her body was now covered in many more whip marks, her flesh exposed and extremely hideous.
It was as if she was put into this room to scare her.
Is he a kidnapper who specializes in kidnapping women and children?
No, it may not be that simple. The little girl's muteness and the injuries on her body seemed to prove that they were a gang doing something that was difficult to expose to the public.
The little girl curled up into a ball. Yu Huan spoke a few more words to her. Seeing that she was in a trance, as if she was too frightened and could not respond at all, he could only gently pat her shoulder where there was no wound to comfort her.
Just then, he heard voices outside, so Yu Huan tiptoed towards the door to listen.
Outside the door, two men with ordinary looks who could not be recognized in the crowd, but with shrewd and cunning eyes, were leaning on the corridor, drinking coarse wine with light taste and talking about their gains from this trip.
The one with the round head rubbed the safety lock in his hand and grinned happily: "This time we really made a fortune. Not only did we catch the runaway, but we also got a daughter from a wealthy family."
He knew at first sight that this was a good thing, but he couldn't say how good it was. He just thought it was the daughter of a rich family on the street.
The square-faced man opposite him was not as simple-minded as he thought. He said dissatisfiedly: "Our young master only likes younger ones. If you kidnap her and bring her back, but the young master doesn't want her, what should we do?"
The round-headed man's eyes revealed dirty desires, and he deliberately smiled frivolously, saying: "What should we do? If the young master doesn't want it, we can just play by ourselves. You haven't tasted the taste of this delicate young lady, have you?"
The square-faced man was moved by what he said and glanced towards the door.
Although the doors and windows were tightly sealed, Yu Huan was still startled by his cloudy gaze.
The square-faced man said, "We have to keep a close eye on her. We can't let her get away. When we've had enough fun, we'll tie her up and sell her away. Sell her far away so she can't get back."
The round-headed man knew what he was afraid of, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Before selling her, she was poisoned and mute, and her hands were crippled. Even if she were to be found, she wouldn't be able to do anything to us."
