Chapter 1235: Chapter 1237: Throw the Pig and Let’s Run Fast_1
"This pig is special, you need to hold it firmly, don’t let it fall and die."
"I know, I know, you talk too much, it’s just a sow, what’s so special about it?"
Two men carrying an unknown object brushed past the side of the carriage.
They were still outside the county town, only a few hundred meters from the city gate. It was dark, and the carriage was moving slowly, which allowed Yang Chuxia to hear every word of their conversation—even though their voices were low, she could hear them clearly.
She subconsciously lifted the carriage curtain and looked back, just to see the two men walking away quickly.
"What’s the matter, my lady?" Ye Zi’an’s hearing wasn’t as good as Yang Chuxia’s, so he hadn’t caught the conversation.
Yang Chuxia pondered for a moment and then said urgently, "Something’s not right, those two men who just passed us are suspicious. Carriage driver, turn around and chase after them, quickly!"
"What happened?"
"..." So Yang Chuxia repeated the conversation she had overheard to Ye Zi’an.
After listening, Ye Zi’an assumed they were just ordinary thieves.
The carriage sped up, the sound of horse hooves clattering loudly.
One of the men heard the noise and looked back, only to notice that the carriage appeared to be the same one they had just brushed past.
This man was quick-witted and immediately sensed trouble. He urgently said to his companion, "Quick, ditch the pig and run, now!"
The man beside him, upon hearing this, quickly dumped the sack from his shoulder to the ground and they both began to run forward hastily.
From the carriage window, Yang Chuxia saw the two men running and urged the driver to go even faster.
When they reached the discarded sack, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an got out of the carriage, untied the sack, and gasped in shock. Inside was a woman, bound at all her limbs, but still breathing.
Yang Chuxia frowned, hoisted the woman along with the sack onto the carriage, and instructed the driver, "Keep chasing, keep going!"
Ye Zi’an was filled with anger at this time.
In the sack was actually a person—what were those two, kidnappers, or...? Damnable scoundrels, daring to commit such deeds in his jurisdiction.
"..."
"My lady, there’s a forest up ahead, and beyond that, a mountain!" The carriage driver’s implication was clear: the two men had likely already gone into the mountains. Although it wasn’t a large mountain, one could easily hide and be difficult to find.
"How about we search here while the carriage driver goes back for help? Do you think that’s feasible?" Yang Chuxia turned and asked Ye Zi’an.
"It’s probably hopeless; I remember there’s a farmhouse not far from the other side of the mountain. By the time we enter the mountains, they could have already crossed over. They could hide in any household and we wouldn’t find them."
"Damn it, are we really going to let them get away?"
"Let’s head back first and wait until this woman wakes up to see what happened."
"Hmm."
They took the carriage back into the town. Upon arriving at their residence, the woman hadn’t come to yet, so Yang Chuxia entrusted her care to Sister-in-law Li. She instructed that she should be informed as soon as the woman awoke.
"We don’t know if this person saw what those two looked like. If she did, we can sketch them and put out an alert through the entire county. Those two are certainly up to no good."
"Hmm, we’ll know once she wakes up." Upon reaching the harem, Ye Zi’an stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "Cheer up a bit, I’m here for this. Don’t frown, or the child might think I’ve been bullying you."
"Daddy, Mommy!"
His hand had just lowered when he saw Lele standing at the doorway.
"Have you eaten yet? Why are you standing at the door?"
Ye Zi’an stepped forward and picked him up, "What have you been doing at home this afternoon?"
"Playing with little brother."
