"The only people who walked past were your cousin and his friends. So we'll know whether the child is with them once we get to the next city. That's why I asked An Er to go there and wait."
"Don't be so anxious in the future. If you lose your composure, people will find fault with you."
Old Master Zhang left the field with his hands behind his back and returned to the exile team. If they had not seen the fireworks sent out by the secret guards for help, he would not have run out to use the toilet at this time. The corpses on the road were too scary, and the smell was even more terrible. They did not dare to approach these corpses at all and could only take a detour.
Zhang Jie thought about it carefully. Almost all the people and things he encountered in the past two days were pale and thin, and few had greasy faces. So he was sure that there was no ogre, and the child must have been taken away by his cousin.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the child was gone, he didn't know if his daughter would go crazy. You know, his daughter was plotted to enter the Eastern Palace. If her son died again, his daughter would probably go crazy soon. Then everyone in the Eastern Palace would be dragged down by his daughter to be buried with her grandson.
There is no point in thinking too much now. I can only follow his father back to the team and wait for the next city. I hope that they will meet there. The child also hopes that he is safe and does not cause trouble.
Wang Shiyu was walking lightly on the road, holding Mo Ruru's hand. Every now and then, she would look up at the backpack on her father's back, curious about who this child was and why her grandfather and second uncle never mentioned the identity of this person.
At this time, walking on the mountain path was actually a bit difficult because the earthquake caused the slope to slide, the ground was full of cracks, and there were fallen trees, all blocking the road. It would be more convenient to take the official road. But for the safety of the child, the old man chose to overcome it and walked to this mountain path.
The old man also looked back at the child. To be honest, this child was much luckier than him. At that time, he only had a few secret guards around his mother to help him escape. Now, the child was lucky to meet him.
When they sat down to rest, the child had not woken up yet, so it was obvious how cruel the person who knocked him unconscious was. He was probably afraid that the child would suddenly wake up and make a sound, and he would not be able to come back in time. If something happened, the person who was with him would be blamed.
In order to make him wait for him quietly among the pile of corpses, An Er hit him a little harder. They had been walking for most of the day and the child had just woken up. After the child woke up, the old man asked everyone to sit down and rest, and stopped moving forward.
He still planned to see what kind of character this child had. He would have to be in contact with him for a long time along the way. If the child had a bad character, he would not be able to keep him around.
Looking at the child with red lips and white teeth after removing the mask, he suddenly felt that his granddaughter had been raised too roughly. When they get to Qiong Island in the future, he must take good care of his granddaughter and restore her fair skin. She must not be sunburned like a little sheep droppings ball.
When Zhou Qingyun woke up in a daze, he was being carried on someone's back. He looked up at the sky, then looked at the unfamiliar people in front of him, and didn't know what had happened. As far as he could remember, he saw a few people who were late and looked towards him. His second uncle, who had always protected him, knocked him out in order to eliminate the root of the problem. He didn't remember what happened after that.
He was very nervous. He knew that someone had been chasing him. Now he was in these people's hands and he didn't dare to move at all. Now that his second uncle was nowhere to be seen, he had to control himself.
Why was he next to these people, and why was this person carrying him forward?
When these people saw that he had woken up, they put down the backpack and let him sit on the ground. The old man who was walking in front turned around, walked to his side and started talking to him.
"You're awake."
Zhou Qingyun nodded. He was indeed awake, but he didn't know whether these people were good or bad. Were they sent to kill him?
"Is your mother's name Zhang Qianqian?"
Zhou Qingyun's little hands clenched suddenly, but there was no expression on her face, but her eyes were full of panic and confusion. Are these people here to hunt her down?
Wang Shiyu saw the emotion in his hands and eyes. So who was this Zhang Qianqian? Was she the child of Zhang's uncle? Why was she so nervous?
The old man looked at the child's tense face and laughed. After all, he was young and couldn't hide his emotions. The fear in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Don't be afraid. According to normal seniority, I should be your great-uncle. I know your biological grandfather, Zhang Jie. He's my cousin."
When Zhou Qingyun heard that this person actually knew his grandfather, he looked at him curiously, because he had never seen this person before. He should know all the relatives in their family.
What he thought in his heart was that since these people didn't attack him, they probably wouldn't kill him for the time being. Now he didn't know where he was, so he could only take one step at a time and see if he could go directly to his grandfather.
As long as he deals with these people well, he can always delay time, and he will always have a chance to find his uncle and grandfather.
Looking at the child's puzzled eyes, the old man suddenly laughed cheerfully. Indeed, not many people in Jinling knew about his identity, and those who knew these things were basically old. How could they tell the stories of their generation to children?
"You may not know me, but you should know that there is a missing prince in the Regent's Palace, whose whereabouts are still unknown, and that prince is your great-grandfather."
Zhou Qingyun looked at the old man with his mouth slightly open. He knew this person, but he didn't know where he had hidden, so many people who were looking for him couldn't find him, not even his grandfather and great-grandfather. This person was really good at hiding.
How could this person suddenly appear here?
"Are you really my great-grandfather?"
Hearing the childish voice, the old man nodded, thought for a moment, and spoke.
"Don't be nervous. I picked you up from the pile of corpses. I don't know if anyone will come back to look for you. I think we'll be arriving at the next city soon. By then, your great-grandfather and the others will be here. I can arrange for you all to meet up directly, so please be quiet on the way. We can't take the official route, so you can only take the small road."
