Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 127 Search One by One

"Don't worry about that old woman. The buyer said he wants to see the child alive or dead. So no matter what the old woman's intentions are, we have to find the child and report back." said the short man.

"Yes! Let's look for it quickly. The trees here are so dense that if we go to any random forest, how will we find it?"

"Why do I feel a little spooky?"

"What's so eerie? Let's look for it quickly. If Yangzi or the lame guy find them soon, we won't have any chance to escape. We saw them first."

When Wu Qingping heard this, he thought, "Oh my god, there are other people here. Let's run!" Wu Qingping relied on his familiarity with the place and dodged several waves of people along the way, stumbling to the supermarket.

When I got to the supermarket and felt completely safe, I realized that I was exhausted.

"Wu Qingping, you are amazing! You managed to escape from the hands of so many desperate criminals."

Wang Yue admired Wu Qingping very much, a child who had nothing to do with him, but who managed to escape from the noses of the bandits in such a dangerous situation.

"Oh! Don't say that. I didn't think so much when I was holding the child. I just wanted to get to you as soon as possible. If I were to think about it carefully now, I would probably hesitate. If something happens to me, what would happen to the children in my house?"

"What else can I say? How many children do you have now?" Wang Yue asked. She still had to prepare things for Wu Qingping later.

"Five. There were originally two two-year-olds. Later, we picked up two more and sent them to you for treatment. In addition, we picked up another child two days ago."

"You picked up another baby, so why don't you bring him here for Sister Liu to take a look? It's better to take a look at a newborn."

"It's okay. I went there early this time and the child didn't suffer. The child is also very strong, so I didn't bring him here. Don't worry, Miss Xiaoyue! I won't trouble Doctor Liu if I need to." Wu Qingping said a little embarrassedly.

"Don't think like that. You are doing good things. We can only provide you with help within our capacity. You are the one who really does the work. So you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Do you understand?" Wang Yue said.

Wen Hao also chimed in: "That's right, if you have any difficulties, just let us know. We agreed at the time that we would help you raise the child, so you're welcome to help whenever you need us."

"Okay, I understand." Wu Qingping was very moved.

At this moment, Liu Xuehua came down from the building and said to Wu Qingping, "The child only has soft tissue injuries and vocal cord injuries, but everything else is fine. I left him upstairs for an IV. He needs some analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. You can't take him home today."

"Doctor Liu, I was just about to tell you this! The child will be kept with you for a few days. I suspect someone at home will search my home." Wu Qingping said.

"What do you mean?" Liu Xuehua went upstairs just now and didn't hear what Wu Qingping said.

"This child is being hunted down now. It's safe here with us," said Wang Yue.

"That's fine. This child's injury will take at least seven or eight days to heal."

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Liu," said Wu Qingping.

“This is what we should do.”

"I'll leave the child to you. I'll go back and check on the children at home first. I'm afraid those desperate criminals will search the houses nearby." Wu Qingping was worried when he was not at home.

"Then wait a moment, I'll prepare something for you." Wang Yue said.

"No, I won't bring anything today. I'm afraid someone will come to my house." Wu Qingping thought carefully. "Okay! Come back if you need anything." Wang Yue said, afraid that Wu Qingping would be embarrassed if she didn't say anything more.

"Then I'll go first!" Wu Qingping walked away in a hurry.

Watching Wu Qingping disappear into the portal, Wang Yue was filled with emotion: "He is not from here either, otherwise we would have applied for him to be a moral model."

"He is not the kind of person who cares about these things." Song Jiyang commented.

"Yes!" Wu Qingping just couldn't bear to see these lives slipping away right before his eyes.

When Wu Qingping got home, he was relieved to see that there were no outsiders at home.

Looking at the entrance of the village, Wu Qingping saw several men with knives, and he was terrified. But then he thought that since the child was not there, there was nothing to be afraid of, and he managed to calm his pounding heart.

After all, Wu Qingping saved people out of his bravery at that time. Now he is just an ordinary person and he would still be afraid when he sees a bad guy with a knife.

It didn't take long for the people at the entrance of the village to enter the village and search every house. When they searched Wu Qingping's house, it was not known whether Wu Qingping was guilty or afraid, but he was trembling all over.

Seeing this, the evil men with knives became even more suspicious of him and pointed their knives at Wu Qingping: "Hand over the child and I will spare your life."

"Are these children?" Wu Qingping pointed at the children in the room.

The men saw that they were not the ones and were definitely not happy: "I asked you where the child is? It's not these, it's the little prince."

"I don't know! I have so many children in my family, why do I need a little master? I can't even support these." Wu Qingping muttered.

"You don't have a young master here, so what are you afraid of?" It was obvious that the family was very poor, and everything they had was clearly visible, so there was no way to hide anyone.

Wu Qingping carefully pointed at the knife on the man's body. The man understood and laughed.

The person on the lookout outside shouted, "Hurry up and leave, the soldiers are chasing us."

"Why so fast? It seems we can't find it." The man who was searching in the house went out cursing, and in an instant all the men in the village left.

As a result, not long after they left, a group of men dressed as yamen runners came into the village. In addition to the yamen runners, there were also young men dressed in official uniforms.

The men in official uniforms were very down-to-earth. They would personally follow each house during a search, checking the house, the yard, the haystacks, and the cellar.

There were only a dozen or so households in the village, and they quickly searched Wu Qingping's home.

There was nothing special about Wu Qingping's house, except that they were very poor, and it was easy to tell what was in it.

The man in official uniform was not one of those ignorant bandits. He found the problem as soon as he took a quick glance in the house, and it was a big problem.

Even Tang Wentao had never seen the things in the whole house, but the owner of the house was obviously poor, and no one could deny that he was poor. So where did these things come from? What were they used for?
Then there are the five little children in the house. They are definitely not the owner of the house’s children. It is impossible for them to have five children before they reach adulthood.

It's not impossible that the child was born from a concubine. Every woman gives birth to one child. But look at the owner of the house. He has to work hard to get married, so why would he take a concubine? Forget it.
