"Why are you following me!" Xiao Xitian turned her head, her face full of vigilance.
She deliberately raised her voice, trying to attract the attention of others.
This one-eyed man with a full beard, fierce and ferocious in appearance, looked like a bad person at first glance.
The sugar figurine vendor by the roadside heard the commotion and glanced over.
The one-eyed man grabbed Xiao Xitian and forced a smile, "Oh, Little Chunhua, your parents are looking for you. How old are you, and you're still running around!"
Saying that, he picked up Xiao Xitian, "Come, Uncle will take you to find your parents!"
"Ahhh..."
Xiao Xitian was going crazy.
She shouted loudly, "I don't know you, let me go, let me go..."
The sugar figurine vendor raised an eyebrow, his face full of doubt, "Brother, do you know this child?"
Looking at the one-eyed man's appearance, he looked like a child trafficker.
Recently, many children had gone missing in the county town.
The government had also told the common people to keep a close eye on their children to prevent them from being abducted by traffickers.
The one-eyed man covered Xiao Xitian's mouth and glared at the vendor fiercely, "What's it to you? Mind your own business, it's good for you!"
With that, he walked away with Xiao Xitian.
"Hey, hey, hey, you... wait a minute!"
The little vendor panicked and quickly chased after him, "In broad daylight, if you dare to act recklessly again, I'll report you to the authorities!"
What did this scoundrel think of the laws of the Liang Dynasty?
He dared to snatch children on the street.
The one-eyed man narrowed his cold eyes and kicked the little vendor unconscious.
"You ungrateful dog!"
The one-eyed man cursed and spat on the vendor.
This action was witnessed by pedestrians along the street.
They wanted to step forward to stop him, but the one-eyed man leaped onto the wall with a 'swish'.
He was as light as a swallow, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xiao Xitian's head was dizzy.
She tried to fire a tranquilizer dart to take care of this child trafficker.
But the space door was tightly closed.
She couldn't take out anything.
Xiao Xitian was almost depressed to death.
Did the space door close when she was nervous?
Did she have to be calm and emotionless to take things out?
The one-eyed man ran all the way to the northernmost part of the county town and stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.
"Finally arrived!" The one-eyed man breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled the cloth from Xiao Xitian's mouth.
He expected the little girl to cry and wail, calling for her parents, or even faint from fear.
To his surprise, she blinked her big, watery eyes and looked around.
As if... surveying the terrain?
The one-eyed man frowned and tugged at Xiao Xitian, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go in!"
Xiao Xitian was pulled and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
"Why are you so fierce! I'm already cooperating!"
Xiao Xitian wrinkled her nose and shouted in a cute, fierce tone.
This place was inhabited by ordinary poor people in the county town, and there were few carriages passing by.
Where could a little thing like her run to?
Xiao Xitian pondered in her heart and planned to fire a tranquilizer dart.
Unfortunately, it failed again.
The one-eyed man sneered, "Little thing, you're quite eloquent. Lock you up for a day and a night, and you won't be able to jump around anymore, hum!"
After speaking, he grabbed Xiao Xitian and threw her to the guards at the door.
"Yes!"
Xiao Xitian was taken by the guards to the backyard and came to the entrance of the vegetable cellar. The guard lifted the lid.
"Go, climb in yourself!" The guard pushed Xiao Xitian and said expressionlessly.
Crying sounds and cold, damp air emanated from the vegetable cellar.
Xiao Xitian pursed her lips and obediently climbed in.
The guard couldn't help but be a little curious.
Didn't this little doll cry?
Her clear eyes were as clear as spring water, and there was a trace of composure and capability on her small face.
He had to discuss with the boss and sell this little girl as soon as possible.
Children who were too smart were prone to causing trouble.
At the same time, Yun Jinshan, Hu Xier, and the mischievous boys in the county town were all panicked.
"Little Aunt, where are you? Little Aunt, cough cough..."
Yun Jinshan's voice was hoarse, with a hint of crying.
Hu Xier was so scared that she started crying, "Wuwuwu, what should we do? If Master and Madam find out about this, I, I..."
"Hey, what time is it, and you're still crying?"
Fu Xiaoqiang retorted, stamping his feet anxiously.
If Little Sweet Treasure had any accident, let alone whether the old Yun family would be angry.
Even Fu Daqiang's water whip would be enough for him to suffer.
Du Jinqiang was also anxious and upset.
But in the vast sea of people in the county town, where could they find Little Sweet Treasure!
Yun Jinshan held back his tears and looked at Fu Xiaoqiang, "Xiaoqiang, go to the west street and inquire."
"Okay, I'm going now!"
"Jinshan, you go to the south, where there are the most pedestrians."
"Mmm-hmm!"
Yun Jinshan then said to Hu Xier, "Xier, you and I will go back to the village immediately and tell the family about this!"
At this point, they didn't care about being beaten or not.
Little Aunt was the darling of the whole family.
If she were really lost, Yun Jinshan would be willing to trade his life for Little Aunt.
Hu Xier nodded tearfully.
They got into a carriage returning to the village and hurried back.
Unexpectedly, they met Xiao Jinheng on the way.
He and Kong Xingzhuo were in the county town on business.
"Stop! Stop quickly!" Yun Jinshan jumped out before the carriage even stopped.
He stopped Xiao Jinheng's carriage, "My little aunt is lost, can you help me find her?"
Yun Jinshan knew that people like Xiao Jinheng and Kong Xingzhuo were not simple.
If they were willing to help, they could find Little Aunt sooner...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinheng's pupils contracted, and he asked sternly, "Where did she get lost?"
"In... in the county town."
"How long ago?"
"Half, about half an hour!"
Xiao Jinheng lowered the curtain and instructed Kong Xingzhuo, "Drive!"
"Yes!"
The two dark blue steeds neighed loudly, their hooves like the wind, galloping towards Heyang County.
Even though the ground was uneven, Xiao Jinheng didn't care at all.
He frowned, his face extremely solemn.
"Commander Kong!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"When we arrive at the county town, report to the county yamen immediately and ask Prefect Chen to send out constables to search!"
Kong Xingzhuo listened and looked a little troubled, "Little, little master, Prefect Chen doesn't know us. If I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade him!"
Xiao Jinheng hooked the corner of his mouth, took out a delicate dagger, and threw it to him, "Now?"
Kong Xingzhuo looked at the dagger and was greatly alarmed, "Master, if you reveal this thing, won't your identity be exposed?"
Those treacherous officials and rebels were just looking for an opportunity to find the little master.
At this juncture, their whereabouts must not be exposed!
In fact, Xiao Jinheng didn't need to reveal the dagger, it was just that his token had been given to Xiao Xitian.
The only thing that could prove his identity was this thing.
"It doesn't matter, do as I say!" Xiao Jinheng's tone was firm and unyielding.
Did that little village child have any brains?
She could get lost in Heyang County, which wasn't even as big as the imperial palace.
The carriage sped along and soon entered the county town...
