Wang Xuanwen followed behind them, eyes full of anxiety and displeasure.
How could they just leave?!
He had just managed to send a signal to those kidnappers!
Now they’re changing places, and he’ll have to rearrange everything.
Bai Zhi’er was being led by Mo Yanchi, with her right hand holding Fang Youzhen.
The little person’s steps were unsteady, and her big eyes squinted.
As if she hadn’t recovered from the stench yet.
After reaching upstream, the sll was finally not as pungent.
Mo Yanchi asked everyone to find a place to rest.
He placed Bai Zhi’er to sit on a big rock.
Everyone gathered around her with concern: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, her chubby little cheeks shaking with it.
She sniffed her little nose: "It’s just that nothing slls nice now."
Everyone around froze for a mont, and Mo Yanchi was the first to helplessly laugh out loud.
"Poor little apprentice."
Bai Xingye felt guilty in his heart, lightly coughed, and said, "This ti was my mistake, next ti there won’t be any more errors."
"Next ti?!" Bai Zhi’er’s big watery eyes widened.
She waved her little hands repeatedly, her baby voice soft and milky: "Sixth Brother, Zhi’er isn’t hungry. Don’t overexert yourself, just take a break!"
Another round, baby really can’t take it anymore!
Fang Wushen was amused by the little one’s deanor.
"That stinky food, it looks unassuming, but once heated, it not only emits a foul odor but is also poisonous."
"Luckily you all just slled it, if you had eaten it, you’d be in for so pain!"
anwhile.
Seven or eight disguised kidnappers were walking along the creek in the direction of the signal firework earlier.
They were well-known bandits in the nearby area.
All eight of them had been in jail for different reasons, tasted the governnt’s beatings.
The reason they all managed to make it out alive was because their cris weren’t major.
They’ve never engaged in open robbery.
Mostly, they’d steal money, break into hos, even attempted arson as revenge, only to be caught and jailed after failing.
Released less than four days ago.
"Boss! The signal fireworks were right here just now, why is there no one? Could it be that kid of yours is tricking us?"
A strong man with a beard covering his chin asked in a rough voice.
The leader squinted his narrow eyes upon hearing this, appearing particularly sinister.
He was the leader of these ruffians, nad Lai Si.
Lai Si scanned the surroundings: "Impossible, he already paid us a deposit of 300 taels, this can’t be fake!"
"Keep searching ahead, we must find them!"
The man who spoke to Lai Si earlier reluctantly said: "You all go ahead, I’ll go to the creek to get so water, I’m thirsty!"
The bandits didn’t take it seriously.
A short companion, resembling a monkey, couldn’t help but sniff.
"Boss, do you sll sothing foul?"
"The forest has everything, maybe it’s the sll of cow dung, don’t make a fuss!" Lai Si rebuked.
anwhile, behind them, the bearded man had already knelt by the creek and drank a mouthful of water.
He saw sothing black floating in the water, like so kind of aquatic plant.
The water he drank tasted bitter and foul!
The bearded man hesitated for a mont.
"Who cares, what’s wrong with creek water?" he muttered.
He went on to drink until his belly was full, and even filled his portable water pouch.
He caught up with Lai Si and tapped the short man from earlier.
"Houzi, here, didn’t you say you were thirsty, have so!"
The short man eagerly took the water pouch, his smile full of mischief.
"Thanks, Third Brother!" Saying this, he lifted his head and gulped down half of the pouch.
