When Gu Yundong and the others turned around to go to Xuanhe Province, Gu Qiuyue happened to see them.

She immediately went to look for her husband, Fu Ming, and Master Qian. She hurriedly pointed in the direction. Seeing that they had chased after Gu Yundong, she smiled sinisterly.

“I told you not to be smug. Do you think a thin brat like you can escape from Master Qian’s hands? Just you wait. I’ll make you come back and kowtow and admit your mistake. Bah!”

Gu Yundong had not walked very far. After all, she was carrying a child on her back and it was the middle of the night. It was inevitable that she would walk slower.

Fortunately, not many people took this path. Basically, they all went to the closer Wanqing Prefecture. Xuanhe Prefecture was too far away. The people who chose this path definitely had better conditions. Most of them still had transportation tools from before.

Gu Yundong and the others were the only ones who walked over on foot. Mmm, she had to check later if there were any cars in the spatial storage that they could use.

But because of this, when she heard footsteps running over from behind, Gu Yundong’s first instinct was to tense up and cautiously hide behind a nearby slope with Madam Yang.

Just as they hid themselves, Master Qian, Fu Ming, and the others arrived.

One, two, three, four, five. Under the moonlight, five figures swayed, and they all seemed to be men.

Gu Yundong instantly held his breath. The next moment, he heard one of the men’s impatient voices. “Didn’t you say that there was someone’s shadow ahead? Where is it? There’s not even a ghost’s shadow.”

“Master Qian, don’t be anxious. I didn’t see wrongly just now. They must have heard our footsteps and hid. Think about it. There are only four of them and two of them are babies still drinking milk. They can’t walk fast at all. Qiuyue also said that they just left not long ago. They must be nearby. We can find them if we look.”

“Hmph, you’d better find your nephews and nieces. Otherwise, I’ll use your daughter instead.”

“Don’t worry, Master Qian. I promise they won’t be able to escape.”

At first, Gu Yundong only thought that Fu Ming’s voice was familiar and could not remember it. When she heard the word ‘Qiuyue’, she instantly remembered. Wasn’t this her uncle-in-law’s voice?

As expected, this couple was not good people. Previously, they did not succeed in finding trouble, but now, they brought helpers.

This Master Qian…

Gu Yundong had also about him during the day, as when she was asking about Gu Dajiang’s whereabouts, she was also collecting all kinds of information in the vicinity. She knew that there was a person called Master Qian at the city gate who could exchange food for beautiful children, both boys and girls. As long as someone caught his eye, he could even think of a way to bring others into the city.

This Master Qian was quite famous and ruthless. It was said that a child once wanted to escape and was tortured to death in front of everyone. If anyone disobeyed, he would whip them until they knelt down and begged for mercy.

He was not only torturing the human body, but also destroying the mental dignity.

Gu Qiuyue and Fu Ming were going to sell them to such a person?

Gu Yundong’s face was ashen. This couple was indeed a match made in heaven. No wonder they liked each other.

Since that was the case, they could not blame her.

Gu Yundong lowered her voice and said to Madam Yang and Gu Yunshu, who had already woken up, “Be good and hide here. No matter what happens, you’re not allowed to come out or make a sound.”

Madam Yang and Gu Yunshu had already developed the habit of being obedient along the way. When they heard this, they immediately nodded.

On the other side, Master Qian also waved at his subordinates. “Go and look around.”
