Chapter 300 301 Keenness

Erya and Xiao Zhuba asked Xiao Zizi strangely, "What's wrong with little Loach?"

Little Leaf looked at the mute who had walked away, and said with some fear: "One day Brother Nili and I were catching frogs in a ditch outside the city, and we saw someone in his sack."

The little one stammered: "Ah! He... he is a human... a human trafficker."

Little Leaf nodded, "He looks so scary!"

Erya nodded and said, "My brother said those human traffickers are very bad."

The little loach quickly ran back to the village. When he saw Yangyang and Qijin playing with tops in the drying yard, he hurriedly said to Guyu who was standing by: "Sister Guyu, where is the steward uncle?"

Gu Yu pointed to the warehouse, "I went to the warehouse to find ropes to make a swing."

Little Loach hurriedly ran into the warehouse and shouted at the door: "Uncle Steward, a human trafficker has come to Zhuangzi."

"What?" Jixiang didn't understand. He came out with a rope and looked at the little loach, which was panting like an ox.

Little Loach anxiously pulled him out and said, "Uncle, the traffickers are here."

Ji Xiang pulled the panicked little Loach and said, "Human trafficker, where are you from? How do you know him?" Little Loach told Ji Xiang what he and Little Ye Zi saw.

Jixiang was shocked, human trafficker! This was not bad, so he hurriedly turned to Gu Yu and said, "Take the young master and Qijin to the backyard quickly and tell Madam that there are human traffickers in Zhuangzi." After saying that, he picked up the little loach and ran away.

Guyu pulled the two of them towards the backyard in a hurry, "Master, Qijin, the trafficker is here, let's go back to the backyard quickly."

Qijin asked as he walked: "Sister Gu Yu, what is a human trafficker?"

Guyu thought for a moment and said, "Human traffickers are not things, they are bad people who steal dolls."

Qijin looked at Gu Yu, "Are the bad guys going to steal the misbehaving doll?" Gu Yu nodded.

Yangyang waved his fist, "Sister Gu Yu, don't be afraid. Brother Qijin and I have learned kung fu. Let's beat him."

Qijin also clenched his fists, "Yeah! I learned kung fu from the young master."

Gu Yu looked at the two of them with a smile, "Okay, you two beat him together."

Jixiang quickly ran to the stream with the little loach on his back. Little Leaf said to Jixiang: "Uncle Steward, that man went downstairs with a pole and sack. Sister Xiaoqiu and the others were cutting grass in the wasteland under the cornfield."

"The ducks are gone, you should go back quickly." After Jixiang said that, he rushed towards the place where Xiaoqiu and the others were cutting grass. When they arrived at the wasteland, he saw several children breathing a sigh of relief, and said to several children: "Xiaoqiu, Yanzi , go back if the sun is too high.”

"Hey!" Xiaoqiu looked up at Jixiang and responded crisply, saying to Yanzi and the other three girls: "Sister Yan, Cao'er, the steward is here to see us."

Jixiang saw that the baskets on their backs were full, so he walked over to help lift one, and asked them, "Have you ever seen a man wearing black clothes walking past?"

Xiaoqiu and the two girls shook their heads. Yanzi and Caoer pointed to the bushes in front of them and said, "We saw a man wearing black cloth heading into the forest carrying a pole."

Jixiang glanced at the bushes not far away and warned: "Go back first. Don't come here to cut the grass for the past two days. Let Shuisheng and a few older children come."

Cao'er asked: "Uncle, is that person a bad person?"

Ji Xiang was afraid that they would not understand the seriousness of the matter, so he said to them: "It's a human trafficker. Little Loach said he saw him putting people in sacks."

"Oh!" Several girls were startled and followed Ji Xiang back.

Guyu returned to the main courtyard and found the back garden before finding Li Yu who was spreading rapeseed in the garden. He told Li Yu the news about the traffickers coming to the village. After hearing this, Li Yu frowned and thought: Why didn't I listen to Xiao Xiti? What about the news that someone in the city was kidnapped? Even if there were kidnappers, as usual, they would not come to Zhuangzi to kidnap children, right? Is it difficult to have other purposes? Li Yu thought of his bad fate with the Wang family, and suddenly became wary.

Gu Yu looked at Li Yu who was silent. He picked up a handful of plant ash and sprinkled it on the scattered rapeseeds. Yangyang and Qijin took Li Yu's hand and said, "Mom, (Mrs.) Sister Gu Yu said someone stole it." It’s a doll.”

Li Yu knelt down and looked at the two of them, touching their braids, "Yes! Remember not to run out alone!"

"Yes, madam." Qijin agreed obediently, Yangyang waved his fist, "Mom, I have skills, I'm not afraid."

Li Yu looked at him and picked him up, smiling: "You are too young, you can't move if someone hugs you."

Yang Yang struggled hard for a few times, but when he saw that he couldn't move, he wrinkled his nose and pouted, "Dad said Yang'er will grow faster if he eats more. I will eat well in the future."

Li Yu kissed him and said, "Yeah! Eat well and practice well."

Ji Xiang took Little Loach and Little Ye Zi to the back garden and said to Li Yu, "Madam, these two children are the only ones who saw it."

After Li Yu listened to the two children telling the story, he said to the two timid children: "You are playing in the village these days. Don't run around or go out alone. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Li Yu and Ji Xiang were equally gentle, the two of them nodded with smiles and said, "I understand."

Li Yu looked at Yangyang and Qijin, who were holding the two of them, and said, "Okay, let's go play!" Several children ran away holding hands.

Looking at the carefree backs of the children, Li Yu expressed his worries to Jixiang and said to him: "Jixiang, I think this person has bad intentions. Think about it, kidnappers usually take advantage of people in crowded places. We are planning to abduct children. We cannot come to the village to abduct children. From tonight onwards, everyone must be more careful. Yangyang and Qijin cannot be left alone. You can start teaching the children you selected."

Ji Xiang believed Li Yu's words deeply, because Li Yu had always been very sensitive to danger. "Yes, madam, please see what precautions we need to take."

Li Yu looked at the greenhouse behind the garden, walked around the garden, selected a location, and said to Jixiang: "Let someone dig a trap in this circle and insert spikes into it. After I check, I will put the trap into the yard." We have prepared traps everywhere and asked Ruyi to go back to the Yamen and ask if anyone in the Yamen has reported missing persons."

"Yes, madam." Jixiang went to the construction site to find Ruyi, told him Li Yu's guess, and asked him to go back to the city.

The mute quickly walked from the bushes to the shallow mountain behind Zhuangzi, climbed up a big tree and hid himself, looked down at the layout of the houses in Zhuangzi, silently remembered it in his heart, then got down from the tree and returned to the city. The paintings he had written down were shown to Su Xianyin, and the mute's paintings were lifelike, truly presenting Zhuangzi's layout before Su Xianyin's eyes.

After Su Xianyin finished reading, the mute gestured and asked, "Boss, do you think you need to wait for two more days before taking action?"

Su Xianyin shook his head, pointed to the roof of the main courtyard and said to the mute: "Soldiers are very quick. Let's start tonight. After we get there, we will go around the wall behind Zhuangzi and go up to the roof of the main courtyard. You go down first and use the charm." Hunxiang knocked down the guards in the yard and the people in the main room, and then I entered the house and kidnapped the people.

The mute nodded and looked at her gestures, "You rest at home, I can be alone."

Su Xianyin looked at him and smiled, "You two should be more careful. You have to understand that she is the prefect's wife, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

The mute stared blankly at her flowery smile for a moment, then suddenly blushed, lowered his head and walked away.

Su Xianyin glanced at the mute's back with a smile, folded the drawings and put them in his sleeve pocket.
