The second day, evening...
Li Erzhu's family went to bed early as usual. There was nothing to do in the countryside at night. Farmers always went to bed after dinner!
But recently, a group of kidnappers came to the village, specializing in stealing children in the village. Just this month, the children of five families in the village have been stolen!
Thinking of this, Li Erzhu didn't dare to sleep, because he also had a son, who was only five years old this year. His name was Li Yuanbao, and he was the only son in the family!
Li Erzhu and his mother-in-law made arrangements, and they took turns to keep watch. Li Erzhu kept watch for the first half of the night, and his mother-in-law kept watch for the second half of the night. The two of them had been keeping watch like this for almost ten days!
The child was lying between the two of them, seemingly sleepy. At this time, his eyes were blinking, his hands were scratching Li Erzhu's body, and he let out a few happy laughs from time to time!
Li Erzhu pretended to be angry and scared him, so he reluctantly closed his eyes, pouted, and pretended to sleep.
The children fell asleep quickly. Although they were pretending to sleep, after a while, a slight snore came from his mouth!
When Li Erzhu saw that the child had finally fallen asleep, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, helped him press the quilt, and then cheered up and prepared to keep vigil!
Time passed by, and the room was silent. Only the gentle breathing of my wife and children floated in the room. It was the same as the previous few days...
Maybe the kidnappers have escaped?
Li Erzhu thought beautifully in his heart...
Ha~
Thinking of this, Li Erzhu couldn't help but yawn...
He checked the time and saw that there was still half an hour before his shift change. Why did he suddenly feel sleepy?
Thinking of this, he pinched himself and wanted to cheer himself up until it was time to change his shift!
However, he suddenly felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier!
I can't hold on anymore...
He originally wanted to slap his wife next to him awake and ask her to come to work early, but his outstretched arm fell on his wife, but he did not wake her up!
And Li Erzhu finally couldn't hold on any longer. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep!
Last minute...
What he was thinking about was...
Just sleep for one night, it doesn't matter...
Not long after, a heavy snoring sound came from his mouth, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the room!
…
After a long time...
At this time, Li Yuanbao, who was lying between the two of them, suddenly opened his eyes!
He sat up immediately, opened his mouth, and a wisp of white smoke came out of his mouth, which was inhaled by Li Erzhu and his wife, and the two of them slept more and more soundly!
At this time, Li Yuanbao had no expression on his face, closed his mouth, and the white smoke stopped from his mouth. Then he slowly climbed out of the quilt, then jumped off the bed and walked towards the door step by step!
When he walked to the door outside, he seemed to want to go out, but the door was closed and he couldn't get out at all!
However, this door seemed unable to stop him at all. He suddenly put his hands on the wall, and then...
The limbs seemed to have suckers and slowly climbed up the wall...
Soon, he climbed to the top of the wall. There was a gap on top, which was left by Li Erzhu for the swallows to enter and exit. Li Yuanbao followed this narrow gap and squeezed out with rough force.
The bricks and stones rubbed against his tender skin, which would have caused him great pain. However, he didn't care at all at this time and still squeezed past with an expressionless expression...
Soon, Li Yuanbao passed through the gap in the wall, came to the outside of the house, and then climbed down along the wall to the ground!
As soon as his feet landed, Li Yuanbao started running in a direction outside the village. It was hard to imagine that a child of only six years old could run as fast as an adult!
Not long after, as Li Yuanbao ran further and further away, his figure also disappeared!
…………
Outside Linquan Village, the only way to pass through Xishan...
Duan An and Zhao Tong lay on the roadside and buried their bodies in the deep grass!
Zhao Tong is the guardian of the Yang Mansion. Today he received an order that the group of kidnappers who stole children will escape from here, and he will accompany deputy captain Duan An to wait here.
"Brother Duan, are those kidnappers really coming?"
Zhao Tong said dubiously, it was already midnight, and the two of them had been waiting here for nearly midnight. They were feeling sleepy, and it was quite cold at night in autumn. Plus, lying in the grass was really not a comfortable job!
"Didn't the young master tell us to wait here without being distracted? It doesn't matter if they come or not, it's okay for us to stay here and be patient and let it pass. Who asked him to pay us wages!"
Duan An said helplessly on the sidelines. He didn't quite believe what Yang Luo said, because based on his previous understanding of Yang Luo, he also knew that Yang Luo was not a reliable person!
But recently, Young Master Yang seems to have come to his senses. He planned tonight's action and it was perfect. However, old impressions are not easy to change!
Zhao Tong wanted to continue chatting with Duan An, but at this moment, Duan An suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered...
"Stop talking, someone is coming!"
People are coming?
Zhao Tong was stunned and looked along Duan An's line of sight. Sure enough, there was a figure slowly approaching him!
Not long after, the two finally saw the blurry figure clearly!
A little baby?
Zhao Tong was stunned...
Why did a little kid appear out of nowhere in the middle of the night in the wilderness?
Zhao Tong glanced at Duan An, but Duan An stretched out his hand and pressed his head into the grass!
"Lower your head and hold back your words..."
Duan An said softly, and at the same time, he buried his head in the grass!
The child's footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the two of them did not raise their heads. After a while, the footsteps gradually became lighter, and the two of them raised their heads again, only to see that the child had run away!
At this time, Duan An quickly got up and said to Zhao Tong...
"Go back quickly and inform the young master that the target has appeared..."
After saying that, he ran after the child, neither too fast nor too slow, staying close to him. At the same time, every few feet he ran, he grabbed a handful of flour from the bag on his waist.
, throw it on the ground and serve as a guide for those behind you...
When Zhao Tong heard Duan An's words, he didn't dare to delay. He quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction...
On the other side, not far from where Duan An and his two men were squatting, Yang Luo and Li Gongfu were hiding here and waiting quietly!
There were more than thirty people, Yang Luo came out with nearly twenty, Li Gongfu had five people, and he also brought several young adults from Linquan Village with him to familiarize himself with the nearby terrain and routes to avoid getting lost!
Although there were a lot of people present, the atmosphere seemed very oppressive. No one spoke. Most of them were sitting around with their eyes closed and concentrating. The scene was extremely quiet!
"Report...report...report to the young master..."
Suddenly, a rush of sound broke the silence in the field, and everyone opened their closed eyes for an instant!
"Has anyone shown up, Zhao Tong..."
Yang Luo stared at Zhao Tong and asked. Li Gongfu and others also stared at him...
Seeing so many people looking at him, Zhao Tong seemed a little nervous and stammered...
"Yes, young master, here...here...a child..."
Zhao Tong finally finished speaking and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief!
After Yang Luo got the news he wanted, he didn't ask him again, but glanced at Li Gongfu. The two nodded in agreement, and then he looked at everyone and said loudly...
