But the road down the mountain is really difficult to walk, and it has been raining for the past few days, making the road very slippery.

An An followed him with difficulty, moving forward cautiously while sweeping around from time to time.

She wanted to see this place clearly, because if her fifth uncle didn't send her home, or if her fifth uncle locked her up here again, she would have to find a way to escape on her own.

"ah……"

Probably because she couldn't see the road clearly, An An, who was concentrating on walking, suddenly slipped and fell directly to the ground. At the same time, she called out "Ouch".

Leng Xi turned around. When he saw An An struggling to get up from the ground, he quickly ran over and helped her up.

An An stared at him with a pair of big innocent eyes, and pouted aggrievedly:

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I was careless."

"It's okay, let's go."

An An nodded, and just as she was about to stand up from the ground, her left foot suddenly went weak, and she fell to the ground with an 'ouch' sound again.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Leng Xi looked at An An, who was sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong with your feet?"

"pain……"

An An grinned and touched her ankle while looking timidly at Leng Xi.

She was afraid that Leng Xi would think she had too many things to do and leave her here.

Leng Xi's eyebrows flashed and he said softly:

"My foot is twisted."

After leaving these words, he stood up from the ground. Just as he was about to turn around, An An asked with a tearful voice:

"Uncle, don't leave me..."

When he heard these words, Leng Xi suddenly felt sourness in his eyes.

How much does this little girl need him at this time?

Any turn he made could make her cry. It seemed like she was really scared.

His pupils shrank, he shook his head, squatted down in front of her, and called softly:

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Just now, An An thought Leng Xi was going to leave him here. When she saw Leng Xi squatting in front of her, she immediately grinned, climbed directly onto Leng Xi's back, and said timidly:

"I... thought uncle, you thought I was troublesome and wanted to leave me behind."

Leng Xi carried An An on his back and walked forward, thinking about something.

"Uncle, why are you ignoring me? Am I too heavy? Otherwise, please let me down and I will go by myself."

As she spoke, she was about to break free. Leng Xi frowned slightly as usual and scolded in a cold voice:

"do not move……"

An An was frightened by his sudden raised voice, and her little mouth was closed tightly, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Leng Xi realized that he had sounded harsh just now, so he slowed down and said:

"You are only six or seven years old, uncle can carry you on his back."

An An lay on Leng Xi's back, not daring to say any more words. Her big eyes kept turning around, looking to both sides from time to time. She wanted to remember this place with all her strength.

After a while, Leng Xi carried her to the foot of the mountain, where a horse and carriage were tied to a hidden place.

He placed An'an in the carriage, glanced at her, lowered the curtain of the carriage, stepped onto the shaft of the carriage, raised his whip, and the carriage began to move forward quickly.

The road was very bumpy. Sitting in the car, An An imagined what it would be like to meet her father and mother.

But she was a little worried, would Leng Xi really be so kind? Would he really let her go home?

Thinking of this, she secretly opened the sedan curtain door and took a closer look. The carriage was walking on a spacious official road, but this was not the direction of the capital. It seemed to be the opposite direction of the capital.

An An's heart suddenly rose to his throat, where was he going to take him?

She began to worry. She didn't know what she should do. The carriage was moving very fast now. If she jumped out of the carriage, she would fall to her death.

What should we do?

Her face was flushed, her heart was pounding in confusion, and her small hands kept clenching together because of her anxiety, but she was thinking so hard that she couldn't figure out what to do.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and she felt Leng Xi coming to lift the sedan curtain door. She quickly closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage, and pretended to be sound asleep.

Leng Xi glanced at her, tightened his eyes unbearably, and lowered the sedan curtain door.

An An opened her eyes slightly and vaguely heard someone talking outside.

"Don't worry, this child will not suffer if he follows us..."

She looked through the gap in the sedan curtain and saw Leng Xi talking to a man and a woman. From their conversation, she probably heard that Leng Xi asked them to take her away, as far away as possible, the best.

Don't show up in the capital for the rest of your life.

As expected, this fifth uncle had evil intentions. Along the way, she tried her best to please him, but she still couldn't make him change his mind.

If she really falls into the hands of these two strangers, whether she will suffer or not, when they take her away from here, it will not be easy to escape. She must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, she bit her lip, quietly climbed to the back of the carriage, and stuck her head out of the small window. After a comparison, she learned that she could escape there.

Without further ado, she cautiously got out of the small window, not caring even if her clothes were scratched.

Leng Xi's face was ugly, but the man and woman standing opposite him were smiling like flowers.

Because they not only got a child, but also got a hundred taels of silver.

Such a suitable deal is beyond their wildest dreams.

Leng Xi looked at the two people with lewd smiles in front of him and said in a cold voice:

"You must not neglect this child in the slightest. I will find someone to check on her regularly. If you dare to neglect her, I will kill you."

The middle-aged woman in front of her nodded hurriedly, bowed and replied:

"Don't worry, after we receive your money, we will provide it to her like an ancestor. How dare you neglect her."

Leng Xi wanted to explain a few more words, but he was afraid that saying too much would arouse the other party's suspicion.

So, he pointed to the horse and said, "This carriage is going with you. If she asks about me when she wakes up, just tell her..."

At this point, he choked on the spot and didn't know what to say to An An.

At this time, the woman licked her smile and said:

"Let's just say that we are her father and mother, and it was you who sent her back. If you have something to do, please leave first. You will come back to see her later..."

This reason was arranged by Leng Xi for them, but at the critical moment, he actually forgot it.

He sneered secretly and nodded,

"Well, let's hit the road! Remember my words, don't neglect her, don't..."

"No, that child ran away."

Before Leng Xi finished speaking, the man pointed at the back of the carriage and shouted.
Chapter completed!
