Gu Yundong looked down at the child in the waiter’s arms. She took the child and said to the waiter, “Please help me find a doctor from the Huimin Medical Center next door. I’m worried that this child has been drugged by them.”
The waiter nodded repeatedly and turned to run. “I’ll go now.”
The shopkeeper, who had been silent all this while, also said, ‘Til get someone to find the officials. Miss, don’t worry. Our Qing’an Prefecture’s officials are not bad.”
Of course, they were not bad. Ever since the last chaos, there had been a huge change in the Qing’an Prefecture. In addition, the new emperor had ascended the throne with sharp methods. He had directly sent a trusted prefecture magistrate over, and even the governance of the officials below had become much clearer.
Gu Yundong thanked him, and the waiter happened to invite a doctor over.
Perhaps the doctor next door had also heard the commotion and knew that the matter had started. As soon as he came over, he took the child over and looked at him carefully. After a long while, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “He’s fine. He was knocked unconscious.”
As he spoke, he took a silver needle and pricked him slightly.
Soon, the child frowned and groaned. He slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around in confusion. “Who are you?”
Gu Yundong asked him, “Do you still remember what happened before you fell asleep?”
“What happened before?” The little boy scratched his head. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and sat up straight. “Bad people were trying to catch me.”
Gu Yundong pointed at the tall and thin man. “Was that him?”
When the child saw this, he immediately hid in Gu Yundong’s direction. “It’s him. He, he took me away when my Sister Liang was buying me candy. He didn’t care when I cried and even hit me…”
As he spoke, his body could not help but tremble violently.
When everyone heard this, they were certain that this man was a kidnapper. The few people holding him stared at him tightly to prevent him from escaping.
The waiter said to the child, “You’ve met a kidnapper. Fortunately, this girl saw that something was wrong and saved you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t know where you would be sold.”
The child was stunned. When he looked at Gu Yundong again, his eyes sparkled. “Thank you, Sister.”
“You’re welcome.” Gu Yundong stroked his head. He seemed to be about the same age as Yunshu.
Although it had only been more than ten days since she left Yongfu Village, she still missed him and Yunke.
“Your Sister Liang must be very anxious when she saw that you were gone.
Where did you buy candy and split up?”
The child shook his head. “I don’t know either. I just remember…”
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion came from outside the inn.
A few officials followed closely behind, as well as a maidservant who looked to be no more than 15 or 16 years old. When the maidservant saw the child, she immediately cried tears of joy. “Young Master, it’s really you. Young Master, this is great.”
“Sister Liang.” The child hurriedly called out to her, but he remained in Gu Yundong’s arms.
Liang Jing wiped her face. As soon as she realized that the child was gone, she searched nearby, but she couldn’t find him at all.
She quickly went to the government office to report the case. Fortunately, the government office was not far away. Unexpectedly, she happened to encounter someone who came over to report a matter. A child was saved and they asked the sheriff to go over and take a look.
When Liang Jing heard that he seemed to be her young master, she hurriedly followed him.
Thank goodness the young master was fine and appeared in front of her safely..
