After walking for a while, Mo Xiaoyan suddenly thought of something on the oxcart. If the journey was too far, wouldn't she be starving? She decided to go and buy some food to eat while she was on the road.

"Big brother, you stop first. I'll go buy some food for you. What if you're hungry and eat something along the way?" Mo Xiaoyan quickly told Mo Linyu to stop the ox-cart.

After Mo Linyu stopped the oxcart, he said: "Then should I go buy one?"

"I'll go. Big brother, just wait here. I'll go and buy some steamed buns." Mo Xiaoyan jogged all the way to Wang Dacheng's stall to buy some buns.

"Xiaoyan, you're here." Wang Dacheng took the initiative to greet Mo Xiaoyan when he saw him.

"Big Brother Cheng, pack eight buns for me." Mo Xiaoyan said as she took out her money bag.

"Alright, I'll pack it for you." Wang Dacheng quickly prepared the steamed buns for Mo Xiaoyan.

Mo Xiaoyan placed the copper plate on the table, took the buns and ran.

Wang Dacheng looked at Mo Xiaoyan's running back, and was a little puzzled, as though he was in a hurry. He did not know what was going on.

Mo Xiaoyan held the steamed bun and jogged the entire way, until she finally arrived at the place where Mo Linyu parked the ox-cart.

"Xiaoyan, why are you in such a hurry? Let's see how tired you are." Mo Linyu said with pain in his heart.

"I just wanted to leave earlier and didn't want to waste any time, so I ran a little too fast." Mo Xiaoyan placed the steamed bun to the side and tidied up her clothes as she said with a smile.

This oxcart was definitely not as fast as the carriages. Although it was quite close to his town, it would definitely take some time to get there.

"Oh right, Xiuqin, did you eat this morning?" Mo Xiaoyan came in the morning rather early, so she didn't even have time to eat.

"I had some food before I came over." Wang Xiuqin also woke up in the morning before dawn to make breakfast.

After nearly four hours of bumpy journey, the few of them finally arrived at Water Lin Town.

"Big Brother, is this Water Facing Town?" Mo Xiaoyan jumped off the horse carriage and saw many people walking on the street.

The town seemed to be quite big and there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets. It was just that she did not know whether or not she would find Wang Xiuqin's father.

"Yes, here it is." Mo Linyu replied.

"This town doesn't seem that big. I don't know how to find my dad now." Wang Xiuqin said somewhat gloomily.

"Let's go and ask him. There will be hope sooner or later." Mo Xiaoyan consoled.

"Yes." Wang Xiuqin absentmindedly nodded her head, because she felt that this town was huge, and the chances of finding it was too small, she almost wanted to give up, but seeing that Mo Xiaoyan had kind intentions and brought him here, if she could not give up, she could only ask around.

"Xiaoyan, should we split up or go together?" Mo Linyu asked for Mo Xiaoyan's opinion.

Mo Xiaoxia turned and looked around: "Let's go together, otherwise what happens if we get separated."

Ancient times did not have cellphones, so it was inconvenient for a few people to walk separately. Moreover, this was the first time they came to Waterfront, so it was better to go together and look after others.

"Alright, let's go and check it out." Mo Linyu said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

A few of them also asked a lot of people, some said that they had never seen them before, some had an impatient look on their face, but they ignored them. Because of this, Wang Xiuqin wanted to give up.

Wang Xiuqin had had enough of drinking and beating people up. If it wasn't for her mother who was worried all day about him, even if she didn't want to eat or drink, she wouldn't have come out to look for him. In her heart, she felt that it would be better if she didn't come back, and that her life at home would be better.

When Mo Xiaoyan saw that Wang Xiuqin did not ask anymore, but had an absent-minded look, Mo Xiaoyan thought that she would be sad because she did not know for so long.

In fact, Wang Xiuqin did not even want to ask about it anymore. She felt that it was a waste of time, and she also had to endure the impatience of others.

"Brother, Xiuqin, let's find a place to sit and eat." At this moment, the sun was high in the sky and the few of them had walked for a long time. Mo Xiaoyan was already tired and hungry.

"Yeah, let's go under the tree over there and have a look." Mo Linyu saw a big tree in front of him.

After sitting down under the tree, Mo Xiaoyan took out the buns and gave each of them a bun.

"Xiuqin, why don't we go to the store and ask? Maybe we can find out." Mo Xiaoyan thought about how she had spent the entire morning on the streets to find out more about the people who came and went, how she was unable to find anything, or how there might be people who knew about it when she went to the shop.

"Mm, that's fine too." Wang Xiuqin promised after taking a bite of her bun.

After they finished eating, they rested for a while before going to investigate.

After asking around a few shops, she said that she did not know any of them, and came to a restaurant. Finally, she found out from a waiter about the places that Wang Xiuqin's father frequented the most.

However, after hearing everything, Mo Xiaoyan did not seem to show any signs of happiness or excitement at all. It was as if she did not care at all, as if it had nothing to do with her.

But Mo Xiaoyan did not think about it too much.

The few of them then went back to look at the locations mentioned by the waiter, but they were unable to find any places. At this time, Wang Xiuqin actually hoped that they would not be able to find the best place, and also regretted coming over to look.

But the truth was not what she thought. Walking along the street, she saw a few people ahead drag a man out, throw him into the street, and then punch him in the face before leaving.

Wang Xiuqin was obviously very familiar with that person, and that person was his father.

Originally, Wang Xiuqin wanted to avoid him and go over, but the middle-aged man was lying on the ground. She turned her head and saw Wang Xiuqin.

"Xiuqin, why are you here?" The middle-aged man lay on the ground and shouted out. Due to the beating she had suffered earlier, her expression was now filled with pain.

Wang Xiuqin was about to pretend that she did not hear her, but she quickened her pace and walked forward.

"Wait, I think I heard that man called Xiuqin?" Mo Linyu stopped and said with uncertainty.

"I think I heard it too." Mo Xiaoyan stopped and looked at the man lying on the ground in front of him.

He saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground, dressed in tattered and coarse clothes. His body was also dirty.

Wang Xiuqin continued to walk forward, pretending that she did not know anything.

"Xiuqin, come over here. Do you know the person lying on the ground?" Mo Xiaoyan hurriedly stopped Wang Xiuqin.
