"What do you know? This is better so you don't get cheated by others."

"But...but we did a good deed, but not only did we not get a thank you, we were even treated badly..."

Everyone was talking in low voices.

The escort leader turned his head and glanced in the direction of Chu Jinzhou. "It's not good to have a bad attitude, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we saved him, so it's fine as long as we don't regret it."

At this time, another person said: "I think... this little guy shouldn't be so indifferent. Looking at him like this, I don't know what happened to him."

"Stop talking, eat quickly, we have to keep going after eating."

They ate the rabbit meat in big mouthfuls, while Chu Jinzhou was still staring at the bowl of rabbit legs in front of him.

He glanced at the escorts secretly, swallowed, hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand.

Holding the meat, he started to eat it in small bites, thinking about how nice these people had been to him over the past few days.

Rabbit meat is very flavorful.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten meat.

The escort leader glanced at him quietly, with a smile on his face, and continued eating.

After eating, everyone packed up and continued on their journey.

"We should be able to get there tomorrow, but what should we do with this little guy? Should we just abandon him?"

The place they were going to was still some distance away from Beiyang, although they had said before that they would only take the little guy part of the way.

But I feel a little reluctant to throw it away directly.

Chu Jinzhou sat in the carriage, listening with his ears perked up.

He was already very satisfied that they could carry him for so long, and he would be able to find Beiyang by himself.

Anyway, he had been walking alone for so long, asking people along the way.

He is not afraid.

The escort leader said: "Let's see. We'll talk about it when we get there."

At noon the next day, the group arrived at a small county town. The county town was sparsely populated and did not seem too lively.

When they arrived at the place, the escorts couldn't wait to find a restaurant to eat.

Chu Jinzhou jumped off the ox cart, looked at them, and knelt down with a "dong". "Thank you for taking me along the way, thank you!"

It was the first time he spoke so much along the way.

Everyone was stunned.

No one spoke.

Chu Jinzhou kowtowed a few times and then stood up, "I'm leaving."

After saying that, he walked away on his short legs.

Looking at his thin and small back, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Sighing, the escort leader shouted: "Come back! I'll take you to Beiyang after dinner!"

Chu Jinzhou looked back blankly.

The escort leader said: "Why don't you come quickly? It's still a day's journey from here to Beiyang. I don't know how many days it will take you to go alone."

The little guy was still a little dazed when he was brought into the restaurant.

While he was in a daze, a bowl of hot mutton soup was placed in front of him.

Smelling the familiar aroma, Chu Jinzhou's mind instantly emerged the days in winter when his family gathered around the warm stove to drink mutton soup, eat mutton hotpot, and eat mutton skewers.

Suddenly, a tear fell on the table, and he quickly lowered his head and sobbed silently.

Her little shoulders were shaking from crying.

The escorts looked at each other.

"Little kid, don't cry, don't you like mutton soup?"

"Why are you crying? Didn't I tell you to take you to Beiyang? If you keep crying, I won't take you there."

Their words had no effect. Chu Jinzhou was immersed in his memories and was extremely sad.

Everyone sighed, unable to persuade him, so they could only listen to him cry.

After crying for a long time, the little guy wiped his tears and said thank you again.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

When I am indifferent, I ignore everyone. When I am no longer indifferent, I keep saying thank you.

Quite cute.

The escort leader touched his head and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will send you to Beiyang."

These escorts are all from the Northern Territory. They don’t live in this small county, but they live not far away.

Now that the things have been purchased and delivered, they plan to rest in the county town for a day before going home.

"You guys can rest here today and go home tomorrow. I'll be back after I send this little guy to Beiyang."

"Boss, how about I go with you? I'll be alone at home anyway and have nothing to do."

The others all had concerns at home, so they didn't say they wanted to go together.

The escort leader nodded, "Okay! It's only a day's journey anyway, so it won't take long."

Chu Jinzhou listened silently, his eyes reddened again, "Thank you uncles."

He whispered his thanks.

The escort leader was almost amused by him, "Don't say thank you anymore, saying thank you every day is not enough."

Chu Jinzhou pursed his lips and said, "You have nothing to do with me, but you are willing to help me and send me to the place. Of course I have to thank you."

Everybody was laughing so hard.

"Little guy, then tell us, what are you doing in Beiyang?"

"My father, mother, grandparents and younger brothers are there." He whispered.

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

"Then why didn't they take you with them? Why did they leave you alone?"

Chu Jinzhou: "They didn't do it on purpose. I was taken away and I escaped on my own."

He pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to Beiyang. Daddy and Mommy will definitely go there when I'm not here. I want to find them."

Everyone felt sad.

He was just a little kid, so far away, and they didn’t know how he got here before they met him.

The escort leader patted his little shoulder and said, "Don't worry, uncle will definitely take you there."

"Thank you!"

The next day, at dawn, the escort leader and another escort took Chu Jinzhou and set off.

This time they didn't carry anything and rode on horses, so they went much faster.

We estimated the journey would take a day, but it only took us half a day to get there.

Chu Jinzhou tilted his head back and stared blankly at the huge words "Beiyang" on the city gate.

His father taught him these two words, so he recognized them.

"Little kid, this is Beiyang. We will take you into the city right now."

After entering the county town, the two took the little one to eat.

Seeing that his clothes were tattered and dirty, the escort leader felt sorry for him and decided to buy him some clothes.

But Chu Jinzhou said he didn't want anything.

He kowtowed to the two men several times and said, "Thank you uncles for sending me here! I will never forget your kindness!"

The two sighed, "Stop kowtowing, your foreheads are red."

The escort leader helped him up and said, "Beiyang is so big, we don't know if your father and the others have arrived yet. Even if they have, we don't know where they are. How can we find them?"

Chu Jinzhou smiled, "I can do it! I can find them myself."

Escort leader: "We'll help you find it."

Chu Jinzhou shook his head and said, "I'll find it myself!"

Along the way, he also heard their conversation. This group of uncles were also very busy. It would take an unknown amount of time to find his parents. He had already been taken care of a lot by them.

He will do the rest on his own.

The little guy was extremely persistent and the two men had no way of doing anything with him. Besides, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack and they simply didn't have time, so they just gave up.
