"This should be Tang tri-color pottery, right?!"
Song Ziqing, having memories of his noble family background, immediately recognized the origins of the female ceramic figure.
"Yes, it's Tang tri-color pottery, and it's even a burial item. I don't know which elder in your family put it in the bathroom. The yin energy here is heavy, and they still put such a burial item there. I'm speechless."
When Lin Chengyu thought about how the two of them had taken a special time-travel trip because of the Song family elders' outrageous ideas, he felt that this Tang tri-colored pottery was also a very good choice.
Song Ziqing walked over at this moment, took the Tang Sancai directly into her hand, and the ring space stirred. Song Ziqing disappeared right in front of Lin Chengyu.
Lin Chengyu disappeared along with her.
When they opened their eyes again, the two found themselves back in the woods of Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong.
Lin Chengyu reacted very quickly this time, stepping forward and picking up the Tang Sancai pottery hidden in the grass and mud. He had initially thought he would return to Hainan, but this time, nothing seemed amiss.
Looking at the two unchanged people, Song Ziqing was also puzzled. "Xiaoyu, why didn't Tang Sancai take us back to Hainan?"
Her voice carried a hint of confusion and disappointment. She had thought they had figured out the pattern of traveling between Hong Kong and Hainan, but now it seemed that this self-righteous recognition still needed to be verified.
Lin Chengyu gently stroked the Tang tri-colored pottery, feeling the ancient aura it conveyed, his heart filled with confusion.
He didn't know why Tang Sancai hadn't taken them back to Hainan this time. Was it because it had lost its magical power? Or was it because their time tunnel had disappeared again?
The two looked at each other silently, their eyes revealing helplessness and despair. They didn't know what to do, nor what the future held.
However, they did not give up. They knew that as long as they slowly tried to understand and explore, they would surely find the answer.
"No matter what, let's get out of here first."
Lin Chengyu broke the silence. He looked up at the sky and realized that the sun was almost overhead; it was almost lunchtime.
Song Ziqing nodded, and the two left the woods together.
As soon as they came out, the two found that five or six bodyguards and Xiaolong were waiting outside the woods. They then realized that the men thought the two of them were going into the woods to relieve themselves.
They had heard Xiaolong say that the woods were a desolate place, with nothing worth seeing.
Lin Chengyu led a few people to a relatively clean restaurant, ordered some dishes, and planned to have lunch before continuing to look for the man who had taken Ah Hui away.
Kowloon Walled City looks more chaotic during the day than outside Hong Kong, but that's only relative. Compared to the night, there are still fewer thugs out during the day.
Song Ziqing thought something unexpected would happen during lunch, but the meal ended uneventfully, which she found rather uninteresting.
Bored, she could only tease Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, we've been looking around for ages, haven't you seen that man yet?"
"No, I have very good eyesight. If he appeared in front of me, I would definitely recognize him." Xiaolong looked aggrieved.
Lin Chengyu joined in, pulling Xiaolong close and gently stroking his head, asking, "Xiaolong, did you and your mother flee from the mainland? Do you have any other relatives in Hong Kong?"
Xiao Long blinked, nodded, then shook his head. His eyes shone as if he were telling the story of himself and his mother.
“Yes, we fled here the day before yesterday. There was a drought in mainland China for three years. My mother said that my father had no one to rely on, so we were kicked out by our family. My mother had no choice but to take me and flee to Hong Kong.”
Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with sympathy. They could imagine how much hardship the mother and son had endured during their escape.
Xiaolong's clothes were tattered, and his face showed signs of fatigue. However, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, they were filled with hope for the future.
Ah Hui was beaten and knew she didn't have long to live, so she deliberately crashed into Song Ziqing's car, hoping to attract their attention. She was gambling that rich people had a kind heart and would take good care of the little boy, Xiao Long.
After asking the questions, they both fell silent. They understood how tragic the mother and child's ordeal was.
If they don't take care of it, Xiao Long might have to sink along with Kowloon Walled City, this city within a city.
He will lose the opportunity to receive an education and may even turn to crime.
At this moment, Song Ziqing also guessed why Ahui had crashed into their car. She was completely entrusting her child to someone else!
She was betting that rich people were kind-hearted and would take good care of the little boy, Xiaolong.
Song Ziqing felt a pang of sadness; this was a mother's last act of maternal love before her death!
She sacrificed herself to save her son's life!
“We can’t just ignore him!” Song Ziqing broke the silence.
Lin Chengyu nodded, his eyes filled with determination. They decided to take Xiaolong in, arrange for him to stay at the security company, and have him attend a school near the company.
When he doesn't have classes, he can exercise with the security company. In such a chaotic era and city, having the ability and strength to protect himself is the best arrangement for him.
"Xiaolong, from today onwards, we are your family. You don't need to worry anymore, we will take good care of you."
Xiaolong refused to listen to Song Ziqing's words, saying, "I don't need my older brothers and sisters to take care of me. I have a mother, and my mother will take good care of me."
Upon hearing this, Song Ziqing felt she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
However, she still didn't intend to tell him directly the truth that his mother had died last night, making him think that his mother had been taken away. It would be better for him to have some hope in his heart.
Lin Chengyu exchanged a knowing glance with Song Ziqing and said reassuringly, "Wasn't your mother taken away? She hasn't come back yet, so we'll take care of you for a while. You can come back when your mother returns!"
Xiao Long looked at Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu, a hint of doubt and unease flashing in his eyes. He didn't understand why these two unfamiliar older brothers and sisters were being so kind to him, even saying they would take care of him.
His mother always told him not to trust strangers and not to talk to strangers. However, the two older brothers and sisters didn't seem like bad people; their eyes were gentle and kind.
Xiao Long thought for a moment, then nodded. He felt that his two older brothers and sisters made sense. His mother might have been taken away, or she might have encountered some difficulties.
He believed his mother would come back, as long as he waited. Besides, his two older siblings seemed friendly and reliable. They said they would take care of him, and they definitely would.
