After the expansion, the outer wall of the almshouse has been raised a lot, but this can only protect against ordinary thieves. For people with strong martial arts skills, this high wall is still like nothing.
Qiao Bo jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall with his right hand, and quietly stuck out his head with Qiao Jiaojiao.
By the light of the fire not far away, the scene in the almshouse was clearly visible.
Except for a few houses with closed doors, the yard was quiet and there was no trace of anyone.
Qiao Jiaojiao mentioned it again with a heartbeat.
There are many swaddling babies in the almshouse, but why don't they even cry?
However, since Zhufeng did not directly burn down the almshouse, Qiao Jiaojiao had a glimmer of hope in her heart that Zhufeng would not kill those children!
Qiao Bo's eyes were as bright as a torch. After looking around, he held Qiao Jiaojiao lightly and fell into the courtyard.
Qiao Jiaojiao and Mrs. Qiao had been to the almshouse before. This time it was just an expansion, and traces of the past could still be seen vaguely.
After carefully identifying it, she pointed forward to the right.
That should be the old room where the Datong Shop used to be!
Qiao Bo has extremely high military qualities. Since he has received the order from the eldest young master, he will absolutely obey the young lady.
Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao had a goal, he secretly cheered and walked cautiously inside.
Qiao Jiaojiao held her breath and looked solemn, always paying attention to the movements around her.
Qiao Bo quickly stood in front of the designated room. He turned his head and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao, waiting for the next instruction.
Qiao Jiaojiao first called up the Merit Mall, letting the panel float beside her, and then nodded solemnly.
open!
Qiao Bo reached out and gently pushed open the door.
"squeak--"
The very light squeaking sound already made the hairs on Qiao Jiaojiao's body stand up!
Fortunately, the firewood burning not far away would occasionally make a crisp crackling sound, which was enough to cover up the movement here.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked inside intently. As the door was opened, she saw dozens of babies lying on the bed.
In front of the bunk, there were dozens of older children sitting, but all of them had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth bags.
Qiao Jiaojiao's heart trembled suddenly, she found it!
Qiao Bo sneaked in with Qiao Jiaojiao and quickly closed the door.
He looked around and after confirming that there was no one else around, he nodded to Qiao Jiaojiao.
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly said silently: "Uncle Qiao, I'm coming down!"
Qiao Bo leaned over and put Qiao Jiaojiao down, and she immediately trotted over to the children.
In the flickering firelight outside the house, she saw the children leaning on one spot with their heads tilted.
There were still wet tears on their faces. I wonder if they were tired from crying, so they huddled together and fell asleep.
Qiao Jiaojiao quickly climbed onto the bunk using her hands and feet, and saw that the children above were breathing steadily and evenly, and they were all sleeping soundly.
Stay alive!
Everyone is still alive!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes instantly became wet, and her intense worry was finally relieved at this moment.
She leaned over and lay down next to the nearest baby. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she guessed that Zhufeng must have given them a drug similar to drowsiness.
Otherwise it would be difficult for so many children to sleep so peacefully.
Qiao Jiaojiao slipped down the main bunk, looked at each one, and then stood in front of a child who looked to be the oldest.
I have to ask the governor's child what is going on in the almshouse and where Mother Rong and the others have gone.
Qiao Bo saw Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, followed her and squatted in front of the child, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at it curiously, and saw Qiao Bo uncork the bottle and put it under the child's nose.
She vaguely smelled a very refreshing smell.
Within a few breaths, the child's eyelids trembled.
Seeing this, Qiao Bo put away the porcelain bottle. When the child slowly opened his eyes, he immediately raised his hand to press the child's chin to prevent him from making any noise.
"Well!"
As soon as the child opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar face, his pupils were really frightened.
"Hush! Hush! Don't make any noise, I'm here to save you."
Qiao Bo was very good at comforting people. He lowered his voice, his tone was extremely gentle, and he would gently rub the child's back.
"Look, I came in secretly. You are a big kid. I believe you are sensible, so I wake you up and don't make a sound, otherwise everyone will be in trouble."
Job held the child's head and turned it from side to side, letting him see that his brothers and sisters were all safe and sound.
Qiao Jiaojiao stood aside, watching the child change from frightened to calm, admiring Qiao Bo in her heart.
Qiao Bo is indeed dad's most trusted right-hand man, and he really gives people a sense of security!
"I'll let you go now and you can answer my questions quietly, okay?" Qiao Bo asked patiently.
The child nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Qiao Bo gently untied the child.
When he was free, he immediately took off the cloth bag from his mouth. As expected, he didn't make any noise.
Qiao Bo turned to look at Qiao Jiaojiao, indicating that he could ask.
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded immediately and asked in a low voice: "What is your name? What happened today? Can you tell me?"
Although the child felt that the sister in front of him looked so small and did not understand why she looked more like a little adult than him, he still nodded obediently and said:
"My name is Sanyi, I'm the eldest kid here."
"We were having dinner tonight when someone knocked on the door. Sister Xiaolan went out first."
"But the knocking on the door didn't stop and was very loud, which scared us, so Rong's mother also went out."
"I don't know what happened, but suddenly there was a bang in the front yard, like thunder! Then there was a noise!"
"My brothers and sisters were all scared and cried, someone broke in!"
"Mother Rong was knocked unconscious to protect us, and then sister Xiaolan stood in front of us."
At this point, Sanyi's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He was really scared.
"One of the bad guys who broke in was an old man. He said he would set us on fire and use us as hostages to lure us out of Qiao's house."
"Sister Xiaolan was protecting us. When she saw the old man was about to take action, she suddenly pulled off the veil on her face."
"Sister Xiaolan's face has always been covered with gauze. We asked her about it and she said she was too ugly and was afraid of scaring us."
"After the veil was pulled off, the old man and the elder brother were stunned. They seemed to know Sister Xiaolan."
"In order to protect us, Sister Xiaolan said that she knew a big secret. As long as she dies, this secret will be known to the world."
"She didn't allow the bad guys to hurt us, saying that as long as the bad guys were willing to let us go, she would destroy the secret."
"But the old man didn't believe it. He wanted to be cruel. Sister Xiaolan suddenly said something about rockery and condolences, and the old man was frightened!"
"In the end we were tied up and drugged, and Sister Xiaolan was dragged away by that old man!"
At this point, Sanyi burst into tears. He covered his mouth desperately, but still let out a low sob.
"What should I do! Uncle, please, please save us, save Rong's mother, save Xiaolan's sister!"
