The two people who fainted first were tied up, and they were stabbed awake by Bai Banxia mercilessly. They wanted to scream in pain, but found that they couldn't make any sound at all, and their hands were tied behind their backs.
Look at their heads. Not only are they tied behind their backs, but their hands are also broken.
The two of them really wanted to ask what was going on? Unfortunately, they could not make any sound with their mouths open.
"Brother Li, you have to be careful about this person. There must be a big problem with this person." Bai Banxia reminded.
Qi Zhen continued: "He did not arrange the abduction and trafficking. He could not have been guilty of any crime, so why did he assassinate the official?"
"Yes, unless he is carrying a serious crime, he can only fight to the death." Bai Banxia continued.
Before Li Jinniu could get out of his depression, he heard the two of them speaking in perfect harmony, and felt as if his chest was stuffed with cotton, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Not only uncomfortable, but also ashamed.
"Yes, I understand." His voice was muffled. Why should he argue with others? His life was saved by others.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed it, and Bai Banxia hired a carriage to take a few children back to the county government office, and sent a message to the county magistrate to send someone to pick up Li Jinniu.
As for Qizhen...
"You follow Brother Li to escort the prisoners, I'm afraid they have accomplices who will rob people." Bai Banxia said to Qi Zhen.
"No, I don't worry about you alone." Qi Zhen said a bit straightforwardly. Li Jinniu next to him felt sour, but this time he was not even embarrassed to hum.
Bai Banxia glared at him, "What are you worried about? Who are you looking down on?"
Qi Zhen was stunned, he didn't mean that.
"I'll take the child in a carriage and leave first. I can also go to the county office early to report the news. When the county magistrate sends someone to pick him up, you can just rush back." Bai Banxia said again.
Seeing that he still wanted to object, she hurriedly added: "This man dares to kill even officials. If something happens again, we won't be able to explain him even when we get back."
Li Jinniu opened his mouth. The two men were obviously discussing how to protect him, as if he would be killed at any time.
But...he couldn't argue, he was really close just now.
In the end, Qi Zhen nodded helplessly, but he was obviously very unhappy, his face became even darker, and his overall pressure was very low.
Bai Banxia hired a carriage, took five children on it, and left happily singing songs with them. It looked as if they had just escaped danger, as if some sisters were going on an outing.
Qi Zhen and Li Jinniu also escorted a group of prisoners and walked back under the moonlight.
"Qizhen, where is your hometown? What did you do for a living before?" Li Jinniu suddenly asked.
Qi Zhen raised his eyes and looked at him, looking very dissatisfied, "Hunting."
"Uh, I don't mean anything else. I just thanked you." Li Jinniu cupped his fists and thanked you again.
"It's okay, even if you are stabbed, Pinellia ternata can save you." Qi Zhen said.
The corners of Li Jinniu's mouth twitched. He could be saved, but wouldn't he be in pain? Who would be willing to make a hole?
"I think you are extraordinary. Do you really not consider coming to the county government?" Li Jinniu asked again.
"No, I'm still treating the disease." Qi Zhen said again.
His attitude was too cold. Li Jinniu wanted to chat for a few words, but the topic ended quickly, and the atmosphere was strangely cold.
Finally, Li Jinniu couldn't help but said: "I originally liked Banxia girl, but now..." I feel that I am not worthy.
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Zhen said coldly: "She won't like you."
Li Jinniu was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this person too merciless?
"Why not? She didn't say she didn't like me?" He became a little agitated.
Qi Zhen chuckled but did not answer him.
But just this laugh instantly made Li Jinniu wilt again.
"Okay, okay, I'll just quit." He muttered.
The corners of Qi Zhen's lips curled up, this man was quite smart.
Bai Banxia took the children back to the town in the middle of the night. The county government gates were closed. Bai Banxia went directly to Zhou Hai's house and informed people of the situation.
They were soon welcomed in, and Mrs. Zhou Hai personally settled them down, but Bai Banxia said that she wanted to take Xiaocao home first to see how her family was doing, so that her family could rest assured.
As for the other girls, they will be handed over to the county magistrate's wife first.
The girl held Bai Banxia's hand and refused to let go, "Sister, I'm scared, can I come with you?"
"We will come to see you early tomorrow morning. Don't be afraid. Mrs. Zhou is the wife of the county magistrate. Magistrate Zhou is the most fair and honest official. He will definitely help you find your parents." Bai Banxia comforted her by touching her head.
.
The girl is an important witness, and it is definitely safer to hand it over to Mr. Zhou. Although Bai Banxia sympathizes with her plight, he cannot take her away at will.
"Okay." The girl said obediently.
Xiaocao took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, little sister, I will bring you candy tomorrow."
"Well, I will be brave." The girl said happily.
Children who have endured hardship are exceptionally sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Mr. Zhou has already arranged for someone to notify Zhang Tie and send someone to pick up Li Jinniu on the road. Bai Banxia said goodbye to Mr. Zhou and his wife, and took Xiaocao back to Baoshan Village.
It was already late at night, but there were still many houses with lights on in the village. The defense team was guarding the entrance of the village, and some people were also waiting at the entrance of the village.
Someone with sharp eyes saw the white pinellia and Xiaocao from a distance, and shouted happily: "The pinellia is back!"
"Great, the grass is back too!" someone shouted again.
A figure rushed out like an arrow, "Panxia, Xiaocao, you are finally back!"
Zhang Lingzhi rushed over and hugged the two children. Everyone in the village was stunned. Many people found that Zhang Lingzhi was really fast, but this scene also moved everyone, and many people had red eyes.
The picture at this time is so heartwarming, and it makes people think of how hateful people who sell children are.
"Mom, it's okay, Xiaocao is okay." Bai Banxia's nose was sore, and her voice was a little more throaty.
Zhang Lingzhi started crying, "I was scared to death, just come back."
She pulled Xiaocao to check, and Xiaocao cried and said, "Auntie, I'm fine, please stop crying."
"You still call me aunt?" Bai Banxia laughed, "I will call you mother from now on."
Xiaocao blushed and called out "Mom" with some embarrassment, her voice as low as a kitten's meow.
Zhang Lingzhi responded happily. She responded very cheerfully and her voice was very loud, which made Bai Banxia and Xiaocao laugh again.
Bai Tian and others also gathered around and felt relieved when they saw that both of them were fine.
"Ban Xia, you've been running around all day. Go back and rest quickly. If you need anything, we'll deal with it tomorrow. If you need help, just let me know." Zhang An said.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, and thank you all." She took Xiaocao and bowed to everyone, thanking everyone sincerely.
The fourth son of the Li family from the defense team waved his hand and said: "It's our fault that we reacted too slowly and failed to help. If Xiaocao hadn't come back safely, we would have no shame in seeing you and Qi Zhen in the future."
They were trained by Qi Zhen and Bai Banxia every day, but they failed to perform at the critical moment.
"Hey, where is Qizhen?" Li Laosi suddenly realized.
Everyone suddenly became nervous and asked Qi Zhen why he didn't come back. Is everything okay?
Bai Banxia was happy for Qi Zhen in her heart. Everyone began to care about Qi Zhen and regarded him as one of their own.
