Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 488 Su He and his friends return to Beijing

Su He and his companions finally arrived at the capital before dark after galloping on their horses. They saw a crowd of people at the city gate from a distance and thought something had happened.

When we got closer, we found that they were all their family members. Parents, brothers, sisters, and grandparents rushed over, hugged their lost children, and cried heartbreakingly, as if they had found their treasures.

Su He was hugged by her mother and cried loudly, calling her darling. Su He's father and brothers also came over and looked at her with red eyes. Even a few masters turned around and wiped their excited tears. It was so wonderful.

Su He and the others cried for a long time before saying goodbye to everyone and getting on their cars to go home. They agreed with the officials that they would go to the government office tomorrow to explain the case.

Some onlookers also dispersed, and finally saw five children, all of whom were not very old, three of whom looked listless, and one of them had been following a little girl since getting off the car, and it was obvious that she was a maid. This family was unlucky enough to have two people kidnapped.

They had seen enough gossip and talked about it as they walked.

Someone said: "I heard that the little girl and her maid belonged to the owner of Moxiang Pavilion. It seems that she led them to escape this time."

Someone else said, "Yes, she is the only one who seems to be more awake. The other four seem a little confused."

"As for the other three, it seems that the girl's family is surnamed Chen. I heard that her family works for a cloth shop."

Others said, "Of the other two boys, the fatter one is from the Hu family in the front street. He seems to sell snacks. The thinner one is from the Ma family in Dingzi Hutong. He is the only son in the family. The old lady is so angry that she is sick."

A fat woman said: "The child is the lifeblood of the family, and this is the only one. Fortunately we found it, otherwise someone would have died."

Another thin woman with pockmarks on her face said, "I heard that the other child went out with his grandparents and got lost. If this child can't be found, the old couple will probably hang themselves."

Suddenly, a head popped up next to him, and his face was full of secrecy as he said, "I'm their neighbor. Yesterday, their family started trying to commit suicide, and the child's mother almost cried herself to death."

From time to time, someone would chime in: "This human trafficker should be cut into pieces. Isn't this a disaster for people?"

Someone else was crying quietly, "I heard that someone was rescued, so I ran over here to see if my second son could come back, but there's no way he could come back! He's been missing for half a year, son..."

As he spoke, he began to cry loudly, and others began to cry as well. There were always children lost in the capital city. Other people's children would come, but why couldn't he find his own child?

A woman asked everyone she saw in a crazy manner: "Have you seen my child Jiabao? He is only five years old, with big eyes, so cute..."

A man followed her and held her arm, whispering to her in comfort, "My dear, let's go home! Jiabao is not here. Let's go back and see if he has returned home."

The woman's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Let's go home. Jiabao must be waiting for us at home!" After that, she took her husband's hand and hurried home.

The people around them had sympathy in their eyes. Many people knew this couple. After the child was lost last year, the woman went crazy. It was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Fortunately, the man had a good family background. After that, he stayed at home with his wife and searched for the child everywhere.

They heard that a kidnapped starving child had escaped, so they hurried over to try their luck, but still couldn't find him.

Su He didn't know that he had become famous this time. The next morning, someone came to thank him. The three families came with generous gifts. After going home and asking about his own child in detail at night, he realized how lucky his child was. If he hadn't met the girl from the Su family, his silly child would have been abducted and disappeared without a trace.

Especially the Ma family and the Hu family, both of them have boys. In this world, boys are valued by their families, and both families don’t have many children. If they can’t find a child, several people in the family will die.

In fact, their family and the servants had already been sold off, so what was the point of keeping them?

They left the gifts behind and followed Su He's family to the government office, where they were waiting to record the case.

When they arrived there, Su He still had to explain the case, and the other four couldn't explain it clearly. Of course, Su He wouldn't be stupid enough to say that he poisoned them first, and he just told them how they were knocked unconscious and taken to a mountain village.
