Jiang Muxia held Xiao Suanzao in her arms and let Tiedan walk in front, and the three of them walked towards the restaurant.

From a distance, she saw many officers in black official uniforms surrounding a circle in the southeast direction. There seemed to be a coroner performing an autopsy in the circle.

She quickened her pace, fearing that her two children would be frightened by learning that someone had died so close to their home.

When we reached the fork in the road leading to the ferry, a middle-aged couple hurried over, and the man was holding a boy of four or five years old in his arms.

They were walking in a hurry, heading towards the ferry, as if they were trying to catch a boat.

Jiang Muxia passed by them and she glanced at the boy unintentionally.

The child was wearing the cheapest coarse linen clothes on the market, which did not match the silk clothes worn by the middle-aged couple at all.

The child's eyes opened and closed, his face was pale, and he looked very weak. She clearly saw the child open his mouth and speak silently, as if he was saying something.

The child looked like he had been drugged and was in a daze.

Jiang Muxia was shocked. He clearly said, "Save me."

She suddenly stopped and subconsciously shouted, "Wait."

The middle-aged couple was startled and quickened their pace. Jiang Muxia turned around and faced them, "Uncle and aunt, please wait."

The middle-aged couple was stunned for a moment, then stopped. They slowly turned around, smiling, and asked calmly, "Miss, are you calling us? What can I do for you?"

"Oh," Jiang Muxia put the sour jujube on the ground and protected the two siblings behind her, "I saw your child has been crying, is he feeling unwell?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned the child around and laid him flat in his arms. Sure enough, the boy was in tears. His little body was struggling with all his might, and he was begging in pain.

"Oh, my dear son, what's wrong with you? Do you want your mother to hold you?" The woman looked distressed on the surface, but she could not hide the impatience in her eyes. She completely ignored the child's desperate struggle and forcibly held the boy in her arms.

The woman patted the child's back gently, but the boy's temper did not calm down. Instead, he resisted even more fiercely.

How could a mother who truly loves her children wear gold and silver herself and let her children dress so shabbily?

Seeing the boy's desperate resistance, Jiang Muxia became even more suspicious.

"Thank you for the reminder, young lady. We still have to hurry. If we are late, the boat will leave. Bye bye first." The woman smiled and stuffed the child into the man's arms with a look of disgust.

The man glared at the woman secretly, picked up the boy again, and ran towards the ferry.

Jiang Muxia saw all of their little movements.

"Wait." Jiang Muxia's face darkened. She was sure that the two men were kidnappers and that they had kidnapped the boy and sold him somewhere else. "This child is not yours, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The woman's face darkened. "He's not our child, why would I take care of him? Do you have nothing to do? Don't look for trouble at such a young age. The weather is quite cold. Hurry up and take your brothers and sisters home."

"How about this, let me talk to my little brother." Jiang Muxia stared into the woman's eyes and said with a smile, "Sorry, don't blame me for being suspicious. Recently, a child has disappeared in the county for no reason. I saw it and asked one more question."

The man's face was gloomy, and he said unhappily, "Are you saying we are kidnappers?"

Jiang Muxia smiled slightly, "I didn't say you were kidnappers. I'm just worried about my little brother's safety. He seems to be in trouble. There's a clinic not far from my house. It won't be too late to take him there before leaving. After all, the child's health is the most important."

"No need, you know your child best, he's fine." The couple ignored Jiang Muxia and turned away with the child in their arms.

"Stop, you are in such a hurry to run, are you really kidnappers?" Jiang Muxia ran up to them and blocked their way.

The woman had lost her patience to deal with her, and she frowned and scolded, "You ignorant little girl, who told you to meddle in other people's business? Get out of here."

The man next to her looked Jiang Muxia up and down, then glanced at the two siblings behind her. The corners of his lips curled up, and he gave the woman a look with a sneer.

He handed the child to the woman and walked towards Jiang Muxia with a wicked smile on his face, "Little girl, you look good, you will definitely sell for a good price. I really made a profit today, I got a beautiful girl and two children for free, this trip is rich."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his dirty hands to grab her, but she dodged and kicked the man, who flew dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

"Tiedan held his sister's hand and hid behind me." Today, she not only had to save the boy, but also had to protect Tiedan and his sister.

"You fucking bastard..." The man felt pain and struggled to get up. Suddenly, a stone flew over and hit the corner of his mouth accurately, leaving a cut and blood flowing out.

The man let out an "Ah" and stumbled towards Jiang Muxia.

"You are just a lowly fellow, not worth mentioning." Jiang Muxia kicked the man backwards, and he fell to the ground again, without any strength to fight back.

When the woman saw that things were not going well, she picked up her child and ran away.

"Hmph," Jiang Muxia chuckled, stepped on his toes, and appeared in front of the woman in a flash. "Put the child down and go to the government office to accept punishment."

Seeing this, the woman put the child down, fell to her knees, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Lady, spare us, we won't dare to do it again, please let us go."

"Letting you go? How can we be worthy of the families whose families have been destroyed by you? Even more so, we are sorry for the women and children who have been killed by you and will never be reunited with their families."

Jiang Muxia looked around and saw that the officers in the southeast had already finished the inspection. They were carrying the body, turning a corner and walking towards the county government office through a small path.

Jiang Muxia held her breath, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Tang San and Tang Si, come here quickly."

Three tall men among the officers looked in her direction, paused for a moment, and then walked towards her quickly.

The three men frowned as they looked at the man who had fallen to the ground, the woman who was kneeling on the ground, and two children who were taking care of a boy who was lying on the ground.

"Why are you back?" Tang Zhongbai pointed at the people on the ground and asked, "Who are they...?"

"They are kidnappers." Jiang Muxia pointed at the boy, "This boy was kidnapped by them and I happened to meet him."

Tang Zhongbai looked at Tiedan and his sister in confusion, "Who are these two children..."

"They are Uncle Guan's children. I took them to the restaurant to play and met this couple on the way. I could see something was wrong, so... what do you think we should do?" Jiang Muxia rolled her eyes in her heart. Why did this person have so many questions?

When the woman saw the officers coming, she knew she couldn't escape, so she sat down on the ground. They were finished.

Tang San and Tang Si stepped forward to arrest the middle-aged couple, "Take them to the jail and wait for their fate." Tang Zhongbai looked at the child and then at Jiang Muxia, "Can you help take care of them?"

"Okay." Jiang Muxia agreed readily, "I'll take him to the restaurant, and you guys hurry up and find his parents."

"Thank you." Tang Zhongbai bowed to express his gratitude and left with his people.

Jiang Muxia carried the boy back to the restaurant. Most of the diners in the restaurant had not left yet. Seeing that she brought back three children, they looked at her curiously.

"What's going on?" Li Jiyi looked at the children she was carrying in confusion. How could she go out in such a hurry and bring back so many children, one of whom seemed unconscious.

"Oh my." Someone among the diners shouted, "Isn't this kid Gousheng from our village?"
