Early the next morning, Leng Ming came to pick up the three children, and he drove there himself.
Seeing the three children waving goodbye to her happily like three little rabbits, after climbing onto the carriage, Luo Lan said to Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan beside her:
"Go! Escort them to Prince Ming's Mansion."
She was still frightened by the assassination that had just happened yesterday, and she didn't want her children to be in any more danger.
Leng Ming drove the carriage slowly, fearing that he would hurt the children if he went too fast.
After walking for a while, he stopped the carriage in front of a pastry shop, then opened the sedan curtain door, picked up the children one by one, and led them happily towards the pastry shop.
Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who were hiding in the dark, did not dare to relax for a moment. They looked around alertly, for fear of strangers appearing.
At this moment, Fang Qiu came over holding a chicken in one hand and a piece of meat in the other.
"Ms. sir, sir."
When she saw Xiao Lingzi, she greeted her warmly and shouted, "Ms. sir, what a coincidence that I meet you here?"
Xiao Lingzi looked at her with a frown, stepped forward and pulled her to his side, and asked in a low voice:
"What are you yelling about? Go home."
Fang Qiu pursed her lips and stared at him, "Didn't you see me holding something? Send me back."
"No, I have something to do."
"What's the matter with you? I think you're just hiding here to enjoy the cool weather. You just want to be lazy."
"Stop making trouble and go back quickly."
Xiao Lingzi pulled Fang Qiu impatiently, but Fang Qiu refused. She threw the chicken and meat in her hands directly on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him fiercely.
"You dare to fight with me, don't you? I'll tell my mother later and let her make the decision for me."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan stood aside and laughed in a mocking tone:
"Brother Ling, why don't you send your sister-in-law back first? I'm here."
Xiao Lingzi said sternly with a straight face:
"No, don't be careless. Go home quickly."
"I don't……"
Fang Qiu still pursed his lips and acted rudely. At the same time, Leng Ming walked out of the pastry shop with three children. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, the front suddenly became lively, and the people rushed towards it. As they ran, someone among them shouted,
"There's a lot of fun ahead, go and see where it's going."
"I heard that a monkey that can jump through fire hoops has arrived. Come and have a look."
Hearing this, An An was the first to raise his hand.
"Uncle, I want to see the monkeys."
Huaiyu and Lele also looked at Leng Ming with longing eyes, "Uncle, we also want to see monkeys."
Leng Ming had a cold face and refused directly:
"No, there are too many people in front of me. I can't stand the three of you. Besides, we agreed before that I will bring you here to buy your favorite pastries. You must be obedient."
Seeing that he was a little angry, the three children rushed to him. They hugged his legs and kept discussing.
"Little uncle, please, just take a look."
"An An hasn't seen a monkey yet, and I really want to see one."
"Lele wants to go too, please uncle, we promise not to run around."
Leng Ming looked down at the three children. Their three pairs of big eyes were blinking at him. He couldn't bear to reject them like this.
He looked up at the crowd forming a circle in the distance, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, Lele rides on uncle's neck, An An and Huaiyu hold my hands, let's just take a look, okay?"
"Great, great."
The three children clapped happily together. After Leng Ming squatted down, Lele climbed on his shoulders. After he stood up, Huaiyu and An An each held one of his hands and walked towards the crowd.
Here, Fang Qiu was still vomiting with Xiao Lingzi. Zhang Yuan, who was watching the two people making noise here, suddenly realized that the four people were missing. He yelled in panic,
"No, where are the people?"
Hearing his shout, Xiao Lingzi's expression suddenly became tense. He looked at the empty carriage with vigilance, and then looked around again...
"Brother Ling, are you going to send me back or not? I really can't walk anymore..."
Fang Qiu was still acting up, Xiao Lingzi gritted his teeth and pointed at her, saying hatefully:
"If something happens today, I won't be done with you."
After leaving these words, he pulled Fang Qiuba aside forcefully, shouted "Get away", and followed Zhang Yuan and quickly ran towards the carriage.
Fang Qiu, who didn't know why, looked at Xiao Lingzi's back, rubbed her nose angrily, picked up her chickens and pork from the ground, and walked home humming a little song.
There were more and more people watching the excitement in front. Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who had not found anyone, also ran towards the crowd.
Lele, who was riding on Leng Ming's neck, kept shouting,
"Brother, sister, look, that little monkey can really get through the fire ring, can't you see it?"
Hearing this, Huaiyu and An An became a little anxious. They didn't care about what they had promised their uncle just now. They broke away from Leng Ming's hand, walked through the wall, and squeezed into the crowd.
Leng Ming was a little anxious. He squeezed into the crowd and called out:
"Huaiyu, An'an, don't run around, come back, come back."
But the two children could no longer hear his shouts. They were crowded among a group of adults and watched the little monkey's performance with great interest.
When Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan came to Leng Ming, Leng Ming pointed at the crowd and said anxiously:
"Quick, Huaiyu and An'an are inside. Go and have a look, don't get squeezed."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan did not dare to neglect, and quickly squeezed into the crowd. However, they searched around and saw no sign of the two children at all.
They came to Leng Ming again and asked anxiously:
"Where are they? There are no children in there."
Hearing this, Leng Ming suddenly froze on the spot with a pale face. Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan continued to look for people everywhere.
But until all the people watching the excitement dispersed, the two children were not seen.
Feeling that something was wrong, Zhang Yuan hurriedly took Lele back to inform Luo Lan, Xiao Lingzi went to inform Mr. Yu of Shuntian Prefecture, and Leng Ming continued to search for people on the street.
When Luo Lan heard the news, she felt like a thunderbolt. She stood up from her chair like crazy, looked at Zhang Yuan and asked:
"I was afraid something would happen, so I specifically asked you to protect me secretly. How could they still lose me? How did you get the job?"
Zhang Yuan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists in self-reproach, not knowing what to do.
Liu Dechang, who happened to arrive just in time, was so angry that the veins on his face were irritated after hearing the news. But after all, he had experienced strong winds and waves, and quickly stabilized his position. After thinking for a while, he quickly waved his arms and shouted:
"What's the use of arguing now? Send someone quickly to find someone."
