If it were a normal day, they would definitely go to the government office first, and maybe they could catch a group of human traffickers.

That won’t work today. They just hit the onion, and who knows if the onion will really find help and then appear from somewhere.

If Wen Wuyan's leg wasn't injured, he would naturally not be afraid of them. The timing today is really not right.

Gu Qingqing didn't have time to think about it, so she just asked the little boy again, "Are you telling the truth? Did they really kidnap you, and not your family members who sold you? We have laws here. If a family takes in or harbors a runaway slave, they will be punished."

"Aunt, I'm not a runaway slave!"

"Qingqing, let's leave here first." Wen Wuyan said after looking around.

The original family of five has now become a team of six.

In order not to attract attention, Gu Qingqing greeted the noodle stall owner alone and left with her cart.

When the family was walking on the road outside the town and returning to the village, she finally felt relieved.

Compared to her, the little boy sitting on the cart looked excited, touching and looking around, seeming to be interested in everything.

"Aunt, how long will it take us to get home?"

"Almost there!" replied Gu Qingqing, who acted as the old cow.

"Aunt, will we encounter wolves if we walk here?"

"No, you see there are people in front and behind, the wolf dare not come out."

"Aunt, you haven't asked me my name yet?"

Gu Qingqing pulled the cart with her head down, leaving him with a bent back, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chen An."

"Chen An? What Chen An? What's your last name?"

"My last name is sh...Xiao, the Xiao of the fallen leaves."

"Xiao Chenan, um, what a good name!"

"Aunt, I think we have walked a long way. Why don't you buy a horse to go on? Horses run very fast."

"Oh? You know horses?"

"I know. I've ridden it before, but it made my legs sore." Xiao Chenan replied.

"Did the person who kidnapped you teach you how to ride? You talk so much when you're with them, are you really okay?"

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Chenan being talkative, but the key point was that he called Gu Qingqing "Aunt" all the time, and Gu Qingqing had no choice but to answer his questions.

"Um...if I talk to them, they won't stare at me." After Xiao Chenan said this, he looked at Gu Qingqing who was pulling the cart alone, stood up and jumped off the back of the cart.

Deng Wen Wuyan was too late to pull him back, he just waved at him and asked, "Why did you jump down?"

Gu Qingqing heard the noise and stopped the car, looking back, and saw Xiao Chenan running up to her, grabbing the rope tied to the shaft and saying, "Aunt, I'll help you pull it."

Dahua in the car also wanted to get off, but when she looked at Sanhua on her legs and then at Erhua who was sleeping in her father's arms, she felt conflicted for a moment.

"Mom, why don't I get down, so you can be gentler."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just stay still."

Gu Qingqing stopped Dahua but did not stop Xiao Chenan.

As they walked, Xiao Chenan kept talking. In the end, Dahua, fearing that he would wake up Erhua and Sanhua, warned him, "If you talk any more, I'll ask my mother to throw you out in the wilderness."

Only then did Xiao Chenan choose to shut up.

In the town, Pi Guangyi walked around but couldn't find the person who hit him, so he had to go back angrily, intending to wait until dawn tomorrow to look for his sister.

Her elder sister was the mistress of an official in the town, and the official doted on her.

At the same time, the Shen Mansion in the town was brightly lit with smoke. The people inside the house were running around in a panic. The maids, old women and servants were kneeling on the ground in the yard. Some people even rode out of the house on horseback and disappeared.

When Gu Qingqing and her group returned home, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

When Dahei saw that people had finally returned, he could only jump happily on the spot with the cloth strangling his neck.

Erhua woke up from a nap and got out of the car happily when she saw Dahei. She ran over with her lantern and said, "Dahei, look, is this you? Look, look."

Erhua held the lantern in one hand to show off to Dahei, and stroked the excited Dahei with the other hand.

"Mom, can I let Dahei go?" Erhua turned her head and asked under the moonlight.

"can."

"Aunt, is this your home?" Shen Chenan asked Gu Qingqing while looking at the only wooden house under the moonlight.

From the casual conversation along the way, Gu Qingqing already knew that this little boy had seen a lot of things and his family must be well off.

Gu Qingqing took a look at the wooden house. It was very small, crowded but also warm.

"Yes, this is our home."

"Wow! I love this house so much. I used to have a wooden house like this. I loved looking at the stars through the gaps."

Gu Qingqing smiled after hearing this and habitually raised her hand to rub his head. After she was done rubbing, she realized that this was not Dahua or Erhua's head.

Gu Qingqing's hand froze in the air awkwardly, and then she said to him, "You can look around."

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she took Sanhua from Dahua's arms, who was still sitting in the car. Looking at Sanhua who had fallen asleep again and looked listless, she coaxed her in a low voice, "Oh, Sanhua, you've suffered a lot today. We won't go out later. We should stay at home and grow taller, okay?"

As a result, Sanhua was sleeping soundly and didn't respond to her at all.

Wen Wuyan saw her holding Sanhua and trying to enter the house, so he quickly came over and said, "I'll open the door."

Gu Qingqing, who was standing nearby, saw that the rope on the door of the wooden house was still the same as when they left home, and she felt relieved to know that no one had been there.

First put Sanhua into the house, and outside Dahua and Chen An also helped to move things into the house.

After the group unloaded the things from the car, Gu Qingqing went to the kitchen to add water to the pot, and after lighting the flame, she said to Dahua who followed her, "You watch the fire, I'll go clean up the house."

"Mom, you go ahead. I'll take care of this." Gu Qingqing walked into the yard and said to Erhua who was walking the dog, "Take Dahei with you to keep sister company."

Then she returned to the house.

Looking at the small hut, Gu Qingqing felt a little worried.

The only wooden bed was where Wen Wuyan and Sanhua slept. She and Dahua and Erhua all slept on the floor. Of course, the floor was covered with thick dry straw stalks and a large quilt on top of that, so it was comfortable to sleep on.

They left a path for people to walk between the place where they slept and the food and items in their home.

It turns out that such a small space is quite comfortable for their family to live in, it is warm and comfortable.

Suddenly there is a boy...

Gu Qingqing thought about it and had to move the straw under the quilt to the side and put the last cotton quilt in the house on it.

At that time, let Chen An sleep alone on the side, and let Dahua and Erhua sleep inside her.

At this time, Wen Wuyan came in, and after seeing her arrangements, he said, "Qingqing, you and Sanhua sleep on the wooden bed at night, and I will sleep next to Chen An."

"How can you do this? What if the child kicks you in his sleep at night?"

Wen Wuyan smiled after hearing this, "Dahua and Erhua are very quiet when they sleep. Although Chen An is talkative, it is not hard to tell that he was brought up very strictly, so he should also be a quiet sleeper. You take care of Sanhua at night, so don't crowd her."

After listening to it, Gu Qingqing felt that it made sense, but she also felt that something was wrong. She had no idea what was wrong.

Gu Qingqing scratched his head and said "Oh".

After everything was arranged in the house, I let the children wash their faces with a mixture of hot water and cold water, and then sent them back to the house.

Soon, the whole family squeezed into the cabin and fell asleep.

At night, Gu Qingqing fed Sanhua twice in the dark and never woke up again.
