Chapter 57: Kidnapped
"You're a dead girl, you know how to tease me all day long." Jiang Xiuwan smiled and scolded, but she saw a familiar figure in the afterglow.
Xu Yan's husband was killed in the war, and the city where she was located was also occupied by bandits, and she was penniless, begging all the way with her three-year-old son, living in poverty.
The two orphans and widows fled all the way to Pingcheng and returned to the homeland where she was born and raised.
Xu Yan's parents have long since passed away, and Pingcheng is in turmoil, with a round of gunfights from time to time, and the two don't even have a place to settle down, so they can only rely on someone's soup soup to come over and ask for some food.
"Xiaofei, is that you?" Jiang Xiuwan looked at the figure in disbelief and shouted tentatively.
Xu Yan turned around and saw a friend she hadn't seen for many years, dressed in gold and silver, with a group of maids around her, and her husband taking care of her beside her, compared to the life she lived, it was a heaven and an earth.
Xu Yan burst into tears in an instant, and the hot porridge in her hand also knocked over to the ground, leading Xu Ye to step forward hesitantly, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, "Xiuwan, long time no see." ”
Next, Jiang Xiuwan naturally didn't plan to go out, and returned to the Song Mansion with Xu Yan's mother and son, and ordered someone to prepare hot water and food.
In the days that followed, Xu Yan's mother and son lived in the house, Jiang Xiuwan took very good care of them, and the food and clothing were the best, and Song Yan had no opinion, his wife's handkerchief for many years should be given help when he was in trouble.
Jiang Xiuwan is as her name suggests, gentle and exquisite, under her explanation, Xu Yan forgot about the recent hardships, and also came out of the pain of bereavement, the two taught Xu Ye to read and write, and for a while it seemed to be back to the time when he had not yet come out of the cabinet.
One day, Song Yan called everyone with a worried expression, "Don't leave the house if you have nothing to do in the near future, I have a batch of goods in my hand recently, which has attracted many people's eyes, and those people may not know what to do." ”
"Husband, don't worry, I'm watching in the house, everyone won't go out, I can raise a baby at home with peace of mind, and you should also pay attention to safety outside." Jiang Xiuwan approached Song Yan worriedly, and Song Yan took her into her arms and sighed lightly.
"Madam, I will definitely protect you."
Everyone in the Song Mansion was under martial law, and there was no chaos for a while, and most of the half a year passed in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiuwan was approaching the birth period, and Song Yan was even more nervous, so she sent many people to protect her.
But Baimi finally had a mistake, and Xu Ye was gone.
Everyone in Pingcheng knew that Song Yan had an extra child in his house, and the three-year-old Xu Ye was favored by the whole house, and they couldn't move Jiang Xiuwan, but it was no problem to kidnap a child.
On the same day, a letter was delivered to Song Yan, which read, "If you don't prepare a thousand taels of gold, 10,000 heavy machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition within three days, send Xu Ye's body back to the Song Mansion." ”
"It's a lion's mouth!" Song Yan slapped the table angrily, the tea cup on it trembled, and the people around couldn't help but be silent, not daring to speak at this joint.
"Kidnapping people and tying them to my Song Yan's head, this group of people is really arrogant." Song Yan ordered that the whole city be on guard, and not a single suspicious person should be spared.
"Don't tell Madame about this yet, so as not to worry her." After Song Yan finished speaking, he personally led people out to find Xu Ye's whereabouts.
"Xiuwan, save Xu Ye, I'm just such a son, how can I live if he dies." Xu Yan got the news of her son's kidnapping, and immediately begged Jiang Xiuwan.
"What, Xiao Ye was kidnapped, when did it happen." Jiang Xiuwan stood up with her big belly covered, and Xiaoqin hurriedly stepped forward worriedly.
"Madam, don't get excited, you're about to give birth, but you have to take care of your body."
"Xiuwan, please, do the kidnappers have any requirements for Song Yan to agree first, let them release Xu Ye back first, okay?" Xu Yan's tears were blurred, and she grabbed Jiang Xiuwan's hands tightly, as if she had grasped the last life-saving straw in the water, and held on to it firmly.
Jiang Xiuwan looked at Xu Yan's fragile expression, she couldn't bear it, she was also a mother, she also knew that feeling, as a mother, she couldn't wait to be kidnapped, and she didn't want her children to suffer that way.
But Song Yan's opponents are all ruthless people, if they get so many guns and ammunition, more people will be displaced, Jiang Xiuwan is very embarrassed.
"If Song Yan doesn't find Xu Ye's whereabouts within three days, he will agree to their request, Xiao Yan, don't worry too much, I believe that Xiao Ye will definitely be rescued safely." Gritting her teeth, Jiang Xiuwan still couldn't bear to see Xu Yan in such pain, and she had an idea in her heart.
Late that night, Song Yan rushed back to the house, Jiang Xiuwan and Xu Yan had not slept yet, and were waiting eagerly in the hall.
"How? Did you find Xiao Ye? ”
Song Yan shook his head with an ugly face, Jiang Xiuwan didn't want to say anything, poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Song Yan, "Okay, it's okay, we'll find it tomorrow." ”
Xu Yan slipped to the ground helplessly, her heartstrings were tense, Xu Ye didn't find it for a moment, there was more danger, tears flowed silently, Xu Yan's eyes were full of despair.
"Rest for now, and I'll continue to take the brethren to look for it." After Song Yan drank the hot tea, he left in a hurry without resting, and everyone stayed awake all night.
"Mrs. Xu, here's a letter from you." A subordinate sent a letter to Xu Yan, and Xu Yan's face changed after reading it.
Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Xiuwan suddenly gave birth prematurely, and the whole house panicked, and hurriedly invited a midwife to deliver her.
Xu Yan has experience in production and has always taken care of Jiang Xiuwan, but she is always a little absent-minded from time to time, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she is just worried about Xu Ye.
In fact, it was clearly written on the letter last night that as long as Xu Yan fed Jiang Xiuwan a medicine, her son Xu Ye would be able to come back safely.
Of course, Xu Yan knew what the small packet of medicine in the envelope was, "Crane Top Red", and he would die if he touched it. On the one hand, her son, on the other hand, her long-time friend, how to choose, Xu Yan was in pain.
"Ahh It hurts! ”
"Madam, forcefully, the child will come out soon."
It took a day and a night of pain for Jiang Xiuwan to give birth to a baby girl, so the mother and child were safe, but Jiang Xiuwan was too weak and fell asleep.
Today is the last day of the three-day period, and Song Yan has been running outside for several days in a row, looking for Xu Ye's whereabouts everywhere, and he has not returned home during this period, and of course, there is no good news.
"What should I do?" Xu Yan held the medicine bag in pain, "Why, why did this happen to me." ”
"No, I only have such a son, I can't watch him die." Xu Yan made up her mind and abandoned Jiang Xiuwan, even though she knew that doing so would lead to Jiang Xiuwan's death.
