Xu Zhiyuan glanced at the person who came and said calmly:

"You said you couldn't finish your work at home, so how did you finish it? Did you bring anyone with you to join in the fun?"

The visitor ignored him and stared at the little girl on his shoulder:

"Hey! This is Qingqing! She is so cute!"

He said with what he thought was a kind smile:

"Good boy! Come to Uncle Li's arms. Uncle Li will take you to buy candies and eat cakes!"

Xu Qingqing looked at the big bad wolf's smile as he was trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood to his death, and smiled in a feigned ignorance:

"Thank you, uncle! Mom said I can't eat sweets, it'll ruin my teeth!"

As he spoke, he made a sound of secretly swallowing his saliva. This action obviously pleased the two adults. Xu Zhiyuan smiled and directed Tong Ren on the side:

"Go over there and buy some cakes for the second young lady!"

The emperor also smiled:

"Our Xiao Qing'er is really sensible. Xiao Qing'er, do you want to go to Uncle Li's house? My house has all kinds of delicious food, beautiful clothes, lots of toys, and five brothers to play with you!"

As they were talking, a figure suddenly landed in front of the two of them and knelt on one knee:

"Master Li, Lord Xu is fighting with more than a dozen men in black ahead! One of them is using the sound of a flute to summon a group of snakes."

The two men's smiling faces immediately changed color and they ran forward. Xu Zhiyuan ran a few steps and stopped, then put Xu Qingqing down from his shoulders:

"Qingqing, be good. There is danger ahead. Go to the pavilion and wait for Tongren. He has some delicious cakes. Daddy will be back soon!"

Xu Qingqing was not a real child, so she naturally nodded in agreement. After watching Xu Qingqing standing in the pavilion, Xu Zhiyuan quickly walked away!

The emperor glanced at the black shadow, and the black shadow turned over and went to the top of the pavilion.

The crowd began to gather. Many people were affected by the fighting and ran over. Soon the pavilion was filled with people watching the excitement.

The fighting figures moved from that side to this side, and were almost reaching the top of the pavilion. Xu Qingqing, who was hiding in the corner, always felt that someone was watching her.

At this time, more than ten ghost-faced men rushed out from the corner, and the secret guards who had originally had the upper hand fell into a disadvantage. With a whistle, the secret guard on the pavilion took a look at the concrete in front of him and flew away.

Xu Qingqing secretly grabbed the clothes of the little boy who was following the adults, pretending to be the child of this family, but two pairs of hands holding drugged handkerchiefs stretched out in the darkness. He and the little boy had completely switched places!

Parents in the crowd who found that their children could not move began to scream.

The unconscious Xu Qingqing did not see it, but Xu Zhiyuan turned around and saw his daughter disappearing in the crowd ten steps away from him. She was startled and slashed by the man in black.

The scene in the dream changed. Xu Qingqing was running for her life in a dense forest. Two men were shouting behind her not far away:

"Get out here, you little bitch! You don't think your short legs can outrun me, do you?"

"Hahaha... Old Two is right. Let her run for a cup of tea and see where she can run to in this barren forest."

"We made a profit this time. We kidnapped nearly 30 children during the Lantern Festival. The children in Kyoto are so easy to catch!"

"When we get to southern Xinjiang, we can buy live people and make a fortune!"

Xu Qingqing said nothing, but just lowered her head and wandered around in the bushes. However, she overestimated her pampered two-year-old body and accidentally fell into a cave and hit her head!

She vaguely saw a Taoist priest in tattered clothes sitting in the cave. When he saw her fall, he almost jumped up from the cushion he was sitting on!

"Save...save us. They want to buy us...as people with worms in their bodies."

Xu Qingqing suddenly woke up from her sleep, grabbed the water from the bedside and poured it into her mouth:

"Oh my god! I was almost fed to bugs. I was scared to death!"

"These damned bastards almost made me see the King of Hell again."

Covering her throbbing heartbeat, Xu Qingqing slowly fell asleep. The little ball of light in her head seemed to grow a little bigger, and she fell into a dream again:

"Ding! Ding! Ding! The energy is about to be exhausted, but the memory cannot be restored, and the system has entered hibernation!"

Awakened by the voice in his head, Xu Qingqing opened his eyes dazedly and saw the old man holding a whisk beside him. He tilted his head and looked at him:

"Daddy? You're so ugly!"

The old man, who was originally grieving that his child had a brain injury and might not be saved, swung his whisk in anger:

"I don't have a daughter who speaks so harshly!"

He stretched out his hand to feel her pulse and stroked his beard:

"It's a miracle, it really is a miracle! I'm glad to be alive!"

Then he told Xu Qingqing what happened after she fainted:

"Those children were sent to the Salesian Home!"

"You are so brave, little girl. Even if they can't catch you, the forest near the southern border is full of snakes, insects, rats, ants, wolves, tigers and leopards. You don't think you can get out alive, do you?"

Xu Qingqing looked at him in ignorance, not understanding what he was saying:

"Daddy, you are so ugly, and your mouth is ugly too!"

Then the time seemed to be fast-forwarded. The old man who loved living in various caves had no choice but to come out and build a house because of the little girl's persuasion.

He built a small Taoist temple in the shallow mountains. He put on a proper Taoist robe and often went down the mountain to bring delicious food and fun things to the little girl.

Some people would occasionally go up the mountain and leave a lot of money before leaving. The money was used to buy delicious food and fun things for the little girl, and the cycle would repeat over and over again.

Until one day, the Taoist priest caught the little girl who had sneaked out and stuffed a package into her hand:

"I'm dying, please leave! If you don't leave, you will continue to be unlucky!"

Xu Qingqing, who was still holding the pig's trotter in her hand, panicked all of a sudden. She dropped the trotter and looked around him from top to bottom. After a while, she curled her lips, picked up the dropped trotter, and threw it into his arms:

"Eat it, pig's trotters prolong your life!"

Watching him finish eating the Yanshou Pig's Trotters, Xu Qingqing went back to her room and went to sleep without even looking back!

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Xu Qingqing pushed open the door with sleepy eyes, scratched his messy hair, and spoke out of habit:

"Old man, I want to eat big meat buns!"

For a long while, there was no sound of the old man cursing angrily or the movement of pots and pans!

Xu Qingqing tried hard to open her eyes and walked towards the washbasin by herself, muttering as she walked:

"When will this old man change his habit of leaving home without telling me? It's so annoying!"

I cooked some white porridge for myself, ate it with some pickled vegetables, burped, and planned to take a walk down the mountain.

It would be better if she could catch the old man at the foot of the mountain and pull out his precious long beard!

After finishing the packing, Xu Qingqing skipped down the mountain. It was very lively down there! The mountain was beautiful, the water was beautiful, the people were beautiful, the food was delicious, the tea was delicious, and the opera was beautiful.

The old man didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he never told her when he went out. But he was afraid that she would be scared, so he didn't take jobs far away. No matter how tired he was, he would get home before dark!

Xu Qingqing held the various cakes that the old man loved to eat and pushed open the old man's door with great interest:

"Hi! Ugly Daddy, I'm back!"
