The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was worried about the children who were kidnapped by human traffickers.
Qin Feng said to the children, "You all have to be careful during the New Year holidays. Go everywhere together, and go home together. Hide out for a few days. The police at the commune police station said that the traffickers haven't been caught yet. Everyone, please keep an eye on the children."
Turning to Li Shuwan, he said, "Shuwan, the same goes for you. Don't go out alone. Ask the children to go with you wherever you go. Don't go up the mountain these few days. There are only about 300 free-range chickens left there."
"Okay, we got it."
"Uncle, go tell the village chief right away and have him use the loudspeaker to tell all the children in the village not to run around."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the village chief right away."
Xiao Si said to Qin Feng anxiously, "Daddy, Choudan can't hear me on the mountain. What should I do? I'll go up the mountain and tell him."
Ke Er grabbed Xiao Si and said, "Wait a minute, let's go together."
Qin Feng strode out of the yard and went to the village committee to find the village chief. Ke'er and her three brothers went to the mountain together.
Xiao Si ran to Li Shuwan, took her hand, looked up at her worriedly, and said, "Mom, come with us up the mountain. Don't stay home alone."
"It's okay, mother is at home. Once the door is closed, no one can get in. She's safe."
Xiao Si jumped up and down, "No, no, no, Mom, you have to go up the mountain with us, together." He pulled Li Shuwan's hand hard and walked outside.
"You go ahead, Mom still needs to steam some buns. Look, this big pot of dough has already risen. If we don't steam it soon, it'll go sour."
Xiao Si hugged Li Shuwan's arm tightly and refused to let go. "No, no, let's go together, Mom. When we get back, let's all help steam the buns together."
Li Shuwan looked at Xiao Si who was about to cry and took off her apron and put it on the table. "Okay, okay, let's go together, you little kid."
Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief, took Li Shuwan's hand, and happily followed his brother up the mountain.
When they arrived at the chicken coop where free-range chickens were raised under the sedge grass, Xiao Si let go of Li Shuwan's hand and said, "Choudan, we are here to see you. Let me tell you, my father and brother went to the commune post office to pick up a package..." He said a lot of things.
After hearing this, Choudan said, "Thank you, Xiaosi, for telling me this news."
Li Shuwan said to Han Yanzi, "You two can't live here. It's too cold. Besides, it's too remote. The commune has been unsafe these days. You two should go down the mountain and come back after the New Year."
"That's right, Aunt Yan Zi, you and Chou Dan go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year. When the weather gets warmer, we can raise some chickens and then you can go back up the mountain. You don't have to worry about these chickens. Daddy said we will move them back to our backyard to raise them at night." Ke'er also echoed Li Shuwan's words.
Han Yanzi was also hesitant after hearing what Xiao Si said, but now after hearing what Li Shuwan and Ke'er said, she decided to go down the mountain and celebrate the New Year before going back up again.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll pack up and go down the mountain now. We'll come back up in the spring." Everyone helped Han Yanzi and her mother pack up their things and move down the mountain.
Ke'er walked behind, and when everyone was a little further away, she waved her hand and put all the free-range chickens into the space.
Ke'er, Li Shuwan, and their brothers returned home together. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the barking of a puppy. Xiao Si quickly let go of Li Shuwan's hand and ran into the yard, "Daddy, did you bring the puppy home?"
Ke'er also saw the two puppies and said, "Ah, so cute, Daddy, these are ours, right? So cute." Qin Feng saw that the children liked puppies and regretted not taking a few puppies home earlier. He said to the children, "Yes, these are ours. Take good care of them."
Xiao Si, Qin Muxiao and Qin Muzhou gathered around the two puppies, chattering about how to raise them and thinking about naming them. Xiao Si called out, "Sister, come and give the puppy a name."
Ke'er waved her hands and said, "Brother, please give the puppy a nice name. I want to talk to Daddy."
Ke'er pulled Qin Feng into the house and said to him, "Dad, I'm going to find out where the human traffickers are tonight."
Qin Feng looked at Ke'er worriedly. "Ke'er, Daddy knows you're doing this for the good of the child who was kidnapped by human traffickers. But, you're Daddy's daughter, and Daddy is worried about your safety. I don't want you to take any risks."
Ke'er hugged Qin Feng's arm and said, "Daddy, I know you are worried about me, but so many children have been captured by human traffickers. I don't know what kind of suffering they will face. It's so pitiful. I must go to help them."
Qin Feng sighed deeply. What should he do? His child was kind-hearted. Could he not let him go?
Qin Feng had the heart of an old father. He picked up Ke'er and sat her on a chair. He half-knelt on the ground, holding Ke'er's shoulders with both hands and looking into her eyes seriously. "Ke'er, first of all, you must pay attention to safety. You are facing some vicious criminals. You just need to find out where they are. Tell Daddy the rest. Daddy will come, okay?"
Ke'er felt Qin Feng's strong uneasiness and patted him on the shoulder. "Daddy, don't worry, I will protect myself. I won't joke about my own safety."
Qin Feng nodded, touched his daughter's little head, and sighed in his heart, "Alas, this is still a child."
It was another moonlit night with few stars.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."
Ke'er "walked" through all the villages and barren mountains near the commune but found nothing. At dawn, when Ke'er was about to go home, she found five people in a nest of red willows on the west slope of Daqing Mountain.
"Boss, it's already daybreak, why hasn't the person you mentioned come yet?"
"It should be soon."
"This old woman said there's a family in the village with three boys and one girl, all good-looking, and an even prettier young wife. Should we take them all away?"
"If you have the guts, take them all away."
"Didn't the old woman who brought us the message say she had a way to catch them? Let her lead them here and we can catch them later."
"Boss, I heard that this family still lives on this mountain and raises chickens. Why didn't I see them?"
"That's right, let's catch some chickens and roast them to have some meat."
"I heard there's a young wife looking after the chicken farm, but we didn't see her, huh?"
When Ke'er heard this, she thought, "Isn't this talking about our family?"
"Good, very good. You've successfully provoked my fighting spirit, Ke'er. You brought this upon yourself. No, wait, didn't you say there's someone from the village? Humph, I want to see how many eyes you have. You dare to set your sights on Ke'er and my family? You're really looking for a toilet with a lantern."
Just as I was thinking, "Hi, is anyone there?" a woman's voice came.
"What are you shouting about? Do you want to call the police?"
"Hey, I didn't see you guys."
"You old woman, there's nothing here?"
"Ah, where are the people? Ugly, Ugly, Swallow, Swallow, oh, why is there no one here?" The woman turned around, and Ke'er saw her face clearly.
