Nan Muze's face darkened visibly, but there were indeed too many people around him, and even he couldn't easily get angry.
But no one knew that Liu Shengsheng in the teahouse suddenly heard a burst of crying.
The crying came from the second floor.
The moment she heard this, Liu Shengsheng's first reaction was guilt.
The teahouse was completely dark at the moment, and there wasn't even a candle. It was almost impossible to see.
But the cry of a child came from the second floor...
Obviously when she just went up to look for it, there was no one up there, so where did the crying come from?
Taking advantage of the darkness around him, he quietly took out a fire folder from the space. The moment the fire was lit, her eyes finally regained some brightness.
By the dim firelight, Liu Shengsheng walked up to the second floor again.
Liu Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat with every step she took. She thought about countless possibilities in her mind, but she never expected that when she went upstairs, she would see a helpless child sitting alone and crying at the top of the stairs.
The child was about one or two years old. He seemed to be unable to speak. He was wearing so many thick clothes that it was difficult to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
Perhaps because he saw someone going upstairs, the child cried louder, "Wow, wow, wow..."
The crying sound frightened Liu Shengsheng. She did not pick up the child quickly, but carefully observed the surroundings.
The second floor was always quiet, and now it was not only quiet, but also pitch black.
She searched for a long time before she found two candle lamps. After lighting the candle lamps with fire origami, the second floor became slightly brighter.
Only then did she realize that there were some mud marks on the ground, as if someone had just walked through here.
And those muddy footprints were not there just now...
In other words, someone secretly carried the child here and then left...
But I just walked around the second floor and didn't see a single person!
Could it be that someone sneaked in here secretly, dropped the child off and left again?
Or is there some kind of basement here?
But if there was a basement here, the child should have appeared downstairs, but when the child appeared upstairs, it looked like someone had used Qing Kung Fu to jump up to the second-floor window and then put the person here. .net
She looked carefully and found that one of the windows also had a mud mark on it.
It seems that I really guessed it right.
It's a pity that he didn't hear the movement, so he escaped without anyone noticing.
The child was still crying loudly, so she returned to the child, knelt down and whispered, "Stop crying, I'm not a bad person."
The child seemed to understand her words, but also seemed to be frightened. After sniffing, he finally closed his mouth and looked at Liu Shengsheng with a look of fear.
Liu Shengsheng was a little surprised, "Do you understand?"
The child shook his head.
Liu Shengsheng was speechless, "You can still respond. It seems you understand. How old are you?"
The child stretched out four fingers tremblingly.
Four years old?
This looks like a little kid of one or two years old...
Are you afraid that you are malnourished and unable to grow?
Maybe it's too dark here and I can't see clearly.
She finally picked up the child, and then said seriously: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I will find a way to take you home."
The child sniffed and looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare.
Holding the soft child in her arms, Liu Shengsheng's heart softened a lot, "Can you speak? Do you know who brought you upstairs? Who is the bad guy who caught you? Can you tell me?"
The child blinked his eyes, and his big tears rolled down one after another, looking extremely pitiful.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it's okay. I thought you were only one or two years old. It's so heavy to hold you. It seems
It's indeed a sight to behold. "
The child couldn't help but cry loudly, and this cry was filled with snot and tears.
Liu Shengsheng was really helpless and tried to coax him for a long time before finally getting him to shut his mouth.
When the little kid finally stopped crying, Liu Shengsheng realized that his little hand had been holding something.
When I took it out and took a look, I found that the little kid was holding a note in his hand.
"You can go out now..."
Liu Shengsheng murmured to himself and looked at the child in front of him in surprise.
Is this using a child to send a message to myself?
The people behind the scenes really know how to manipulate people's hearts...
When I wanted to go out before, I threatened myself not to go out.
And I stayed in the teahouse as they wished, so they let go of a child. Is it a reward, or is it to fulfill their promise?
In any case, since the other party has agreed to let me go out, there is really no need for me to stay here.
It's just that I am completely passive now. Under such circumstances, the situation is really not good.
She thought so, but Liu Shengsheng still held the child and walked out expressionlessly.
The moment the door opened, she saw countless figures and streaks of light.
The streets outside were still crowded with people, and after nightfall, almost everyone held a lantern or a torch in their hands, lighting up almost the entire street very brightly.
Before Liu Shengsheng had time to adapt to the brightness, there was already a cry in front of her.
"My child, my child!"
"That's my child! Don't stop me, my child is there!"
"..."
Among the crowd, a woman was crying and howling. Maybe she was too excited, or maybe she was too worried about her child. After a while, she pushed away the soldiers blocking the way in front of her, and then rolled and crawled towards Liu Shengsheng.
Nan Muze quickly stopped him with quick eyes and hands.
Yichen also quickly protected Liu Shengsheng, "Girl, are you okay?"
Liu Shengsheng finally came to her senses. She gently hugged the child towards the woman, "I'm fine, let's get out of the way."
Hearing her words, Nan Muze and Yichen calmly retreated to the side, and the woman also took the child from Liu Shengsheng's hands very excitedly, and began to cry loudly while holding the child.
"Aww, my child, you are back, you are so worried about me!"
The crowd was in a commotion, and almost everyone was watching all this in stunned silence. No one knew what was going on.
The child's other family members quickly rushed forward and soon took the child and the woman down together.
It was a very heartwarming scene, but other family members who had lost their children became very emotional at this moment.
"Why hasn't our baby come out yet?"
"Yes, where is our child?"
"Why was only one child released? The whereabouts of so many of our children are still unknown!"
"..."
