Chapter 27: Self-Help

Full of this loss, Yan Niang was like losing half her life, and she had a high fever that night, and everyone was burned and confused, and she kept reading her daughter's name in her mouth.

When Yun saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel pity, she couldn't help looking for a child, so she could only take care of her more attentively.

Yucheng County Ya

lost five children in a row during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in order to find the children, Jiang Yucheng was so busy these days that his feet did not touch the ground. After investigating in the town for a long time, they finally got a clue about the kidnappers, but when they arrived, they didn't even see a single figure.

At this time, an inconspicuous cloth topped carriage was driving rapidly on the avenue, and bursts of dense dust were raised behind the car, and it was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face on the right side of his face, and a scar at the corner of his eye, which made him a little more fierce.

In the carriage behind him were three boys, two women, five children, the oldest about ten years old and the youngest only four years old. This is the goods they brought in on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now they have to be sent to the ferry quickly, where someone will pick them up.

The five children were drugged and slept groggily in the carriage, unaware of what awaited them. The man who was driving the car was in a hurry, the wheel accidentally hit a stone, the carriage jolted hard, and Wei Zhi's head accidentally touched the carriage and woke up in a daze.

Seeing the four children sleeping beside him, his consciousness suddenly cleared up a lot.

He remembers that after he shook off the guards, he was accidentally caught by a kidnapper. Sitting up with his limp body propped up, he lifted the curtain and took a look, the carriage was moving too fast to see anything clearly.

There was no way, he had to push the little fat man next to him, and when he woke up, he covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "I don't know where this crutch is going to take us, we are the only ones in the car, we have to find a way to escape." ”

The little fat man was not as calm as he was, and shook his head vigorously with panic on his face, "I... I'm afraid that the kidnappers will hit people. ”

Wei Zhi glared at him fiercely, "If you don't agree to me, sooner or later you will be sold by a kidnapper, and you will never see your father and family again." ”

The little fat man was frightened at the thought of such a situation, and finally made up his mind to help him.

Wei Tong asked the little fat man to untie the belt on his body, and the two took advantage of the fact that the leper man was in a hurry, and suddenly opened the curtain and put the belt around his neck.

The leper man never dreamed that there would be such an incident, so he lost the reins and the horsewhip in a hurry, and subconsciously pulled his belt.

"Push harder." Wei Zhi yelled at the little fat man.

The little fat man bared his teeth, a pair of fat hands pulled his belt stiffly, and he didn't dare to relax for half a minute. The leech man's face was blue when he was wrapped in the belt, and he resisted desperately, and he was about to break free from the restraints, but he heard Wei Zhi shouting: "Release the belt." ”

The little fat man did not hesitate and immediately let go.

Wei Zhi saw the opportunity and pushed the leech man off the carriage with all his might.

Without the mole man rushing to the car, Wei Zhi asked the little fat man to sit in front again, and the little fat man was a lot bolder after the action just now.

But after he sat down, he panicked and said, "I won't catch the car." ”

Wei Zhi frowned, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, hold the reins and let the horse run slower." ”

As he spoke, the carriage was bumped again, and the little fat man was so frightened that he lost the reins and immediately got into the carriage. Wei Zhi glanced at him, his face full of disgust.

If his leg was still intact, how could he instruct a coward to do this and that.

Fortunately, they were lucky, and the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down, but it broke away from the original road and burrowed into the nearby woods.

At this time, the other children in the car also woke up, and the girl in the green dress kept crying as soon as she opened her eyes, clamoring for her father, and when she cried, the other children cried, and even the little fat man had red eyes.

The only one who didn't cry was Wei Tong, and the crying sound made him upset, and he couldn't help shouting: "Don't cry, if you lure the kidnappers over, you will never see your father and mother again." ”

The little fat man was the first to stop his tears, sobbing and comforting the others: "I... We... Don't cry... Crying, listening to the big brother's... Words. ”

The little fat man's words were quite effective, and the other children slowly stopped crying, only the little girl in the green dress hadn't stopped before, Wei Zhi glanced at her, and said impatiently: "If you cry again, you will be thrown down to feed the big worm." ”

The little girl was frightened and looked at her in a daze.

There was no crying in the carriage, and it was finally cleared.

"Big brother, what should we do?" The little fat man asked.

Wei Tong actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, he was only nine years old, and his legs were broken due to an accident, but when he saw a pair of eyes full of hope, he had to rack his brains to find a way.

Although the crutch had been pushed out of the carriage by them, the man was fine, and if he followed the wheel mark to catch up, they would be all finished.

For the sake of this they all got out of the wagon, and let the wagon out of the woods, and as long as the crutch thought they were still in the wagon, they would get away with it.

When everyone had gotten out of the car, he asked the little fat man to whip the horse's back, and the horse was in pain, and his hooves were so high that he didn't run forward, but kept spinning in the same place.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, Wei Zhi's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Big brother, I have a way." The first to speak was the little fat man, who said; "We poke the horse's buttocks with a branch, and if the horse feels pain, it will run."

Wei Tong was a little unsure when he heard this, but it was better to have a way than to be stunned, "Just do as you say." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the children scattered to pick up the branches, but none of the branches they picked up could be used, either too thick or too thin.

Fortunately, the little fat man was more reliable, and he picked up a branch of the right thickness, and under the guidance of the eldest child, he sharpened the branch into a pointed end, and finally inserted it into the horse's ass with all his strength.

The horse was startled and in pain, raised its head and neighed in pain, and then rushed forward with a pouting of its hooves. The leech man was searching for the wheel prints, and suddenly heard the sound of the horse's hooves, spit and said fiercely: "Little rabbit cub, when Lao Tzu catches you, don't think about it one by one." ”

He felt that he was too unlucky, but he was pecked by the geese all day long, but fortunately he didn't lose this batch of goods, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with the boss.

The man was ready to stop the car, but the sound of the horse's hooves gradually became smaller, and he panicked, and hurriedly chased in the direction from which the sound came.

On the other side, after driving away the carriage, several children panicked and hid deep into the woods. As luck would have it, they found a hole about two meters deep on a slope. The crater was surrounded by dense weeds, and several children snuggled up in it, and as long as they didn't make a sound, anyone passing by wouldn't notice them.

The sky was slowly darkening, and the surroundings were quiet, quiet and terrifying. At this time, the children did not know that the man had chased the carriage away, and they curled up and hid in the cave for a day.

"I'm so scared." The youngest girl spoke suddenly.

The little fat man hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, we are all here." ”

The girl pursed her mouth, "I'm hungry." ”

The little fat man glanced at her in embarrassment, in fact, he was already hungry, and at this time, except for Wei Zhi, everyone else also felt hungry.

"What's your name?" Wei Zhi's gaze fell on the girl.

The girl replied obediently, "My name is Manman." "She knows that this big brother is very powerful.

"Man, come, sit next to me." Wei Tong beckoned to her and leaned over obediently.

He let her lean on top of him, touched her head and said softly, "Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." ”

This sentence is not only said to Manman, but also to other children. After going through so many things, the children were tired, and sleepiness gradually hit, and they all fell asleep one by one.

Wei Tong didn't feel sleepy at all, he was still thinking about how to let everyone be rescued. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have thrown off the guards, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered all this today.

What he didn't know was that because of his disappearance, King Gong was so anxious that his old illness relapsed, and he sent all the people of the palace to search for his grandson's whereabouts, and constantly put pressure on Jiang Yucheng, the magistrate of Yucheng County, to do his best to assist the palace in finding someone.

Jiang Yucheng led his subordinates to search the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Yucheng County for several days, and caught a kidnapper who had crossed paths with them, and the kidnapper confessed that the gang was not from Yucheng County, but from Wuzhou. They kidnapped a few children and planned to take a boat south from the ferry.

After getting the news, Jiang Yucheng and the guards of Prince Gong's Mansion hurriedly rushed to the ferry and captured the abducted accomplices who were picked up there, but they did not find the abducted children at all.

The abductor's accomplice confessed that he had been waiting at the ferry all the time, but he never saw the accomplice deliver the goods, and he was arrested before he could go back to report the news.

After interrogating the abduction accomplices, Jiang Yucheng said to the head of the guard: "I don't know what happened, the abductors who are responsible for escorting the children did not arrive at the ferry, Commander Ji, it is better for us to divide the soldiers into two ways, one team to arrest people, and the other team to search the road from Lingjiang Town to the ferry." ”

Ji Guard nodded: "Okay, just do what Master Jiang said." ”

Jiang Yucheng led his subordinates to arrest the remaining kidnappers, while Ji Escort led people to search for the children's traces.

"Commander, there are a few strange wheel prints here." A guard stepped forward to report.

Commander Ji followed him to look, only to see that the wheel mark deviated from the main road and extended in the direction of the forest. He immediately ordered: "Jin Yi, you take a few people to continue the search, and the rest follow me to the forest." ”

"Yes." The guard, known as Jin Yi, received the order and continued to move forward with the people along the way.

Wei Tong, who was in a daze, suddenly heard footsteps from far and near, he leaned forward and probed out, only to see the firelight beating not far away, and it seemed that there were many people.

He slowly retracted and glanced at the sleeping children, glad that they had not been woken up, otherwise they would have alarmed the people outside, and no one would have been able to escape.

At this time, he felt his waist squirm, and when he looked down, the little girl who was sleeping on him just now woke up at some point, and was looking at himself with wide eyes and unblinking.

He booed her, and Man Man followed him in the same way.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer to them, and he hugged Man Man tightly, his whole body becoming stiff.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then someone shouted, "It's all here." ”
