After the guard left, only one person was left busy in the Ci Entang… …
Lin Chujiu has been carrying the baby who has pneumonia. Whenever she tried to put down the baby, the baby cried with heartbreaking cries.
Lin Chujiu was afraid that the baby would cry and suffocate himself. So, she could only coax the other children with her other hand. She was so busy, so she was sweating all over her body.
As for Xiao Tianyao?
Lin Chujiu don't expect him to help, so he only asked him not to add more trouble.
Fortunately, the guard came back soon. He came back not only with the rice paste that children could eat but also with the sellers.
"Feed them one by one, from the smallest to biggest." When the guard looked at Xiao Tianyao and saw him only sitting in the corner and not speaking. He had no choice but to make arrangements to the women one by one.
When the women received the copper coins and saw the children on the ground, where not that dirty. They pulled up their sleeves and fed the children one by one. Those women were very skilled, so not even a drop of food was wasted. It can be seen that they have done it all the time.
At this moment, the children on the ground, whether big or small, have food stuffed in their mouths. They were very busy to swallow the foods in their mouth. The other children who haven't eaten kept watching this scene. They were looked very distress.
"Oh, these children were very hungry. Where did all the caretakers go?" Due to the guard's presence, the woman didn't dare to be more frank with her words. But, they could really see how pitiful the children were in this place. They couldn't even help but shed some tears.
Seeing that the guard didn't pay attention to them, the other women also gained some courage: "These children don't even have a small meat on their body. Those caretakers are really cruel."
"These children's parents are more heartless, after giving birth they abandoned their child." A gray clothed woman, who was holding a little girl said in distressed. She fed the little girl with two more mouthfuls of rice paste.
"Even if this child has rabbit lips, it won't matter after she grows up. There were also children like this in our village. But when they grow up, they didn't have children with the same case."
"This child is more pitiful, he not only lose a leg but also his parents. How can he live in the future?"

The children who were left unattended in Ci Entang looked very pitiful. Anyone who will see their situation will feel bad. Only Xiao Tianyao… …
Didn't have any mood swings. He only sat in the corner emotionless. He also restrained his presence, so no one noticed his existence. Lin Chujiu looked up from time to time to his place, so she knew he hasn't left.
Lin Chujiu couldn't understand why Xiao Tianyao came to the Ci Entang. Was it because of her?
If it was before, she might think of this, but now… …
Ever since he hurt her emotionally, Lin Chujiu only expect Xiao Tianyao's unruly behavior all the time. Seeing Xiao Tianyao looked disgusted in the place, but still refusing to leave. Lin Chujiu felt like Xiao Tianyao must be planning something.
However, as long as Xiao Tianyao will not hinder her, she doesn't care about his plans or calculations. She was not smart enough to completely avoid trouble, but she wants to avoid them as much as possible.
Soon, the women had used all the rice paste they had brought, but not all the children had eaten enough. One of the sellers took the initiative: "My house is close to this place. I will go and cook another pot. There were also some used clean clothes at home. I will bring some of them. These children's clothes are dirty and wet, they might get sick if they continue wearing it."
"It's better to cook more rice paste. You don't need to bring clothes, some people will come soon with clothes." Lin Chujiu doesn't really want to reject the woman's goodwill. But, she knew how important clothes to ordinary people. Clothes for them were like luxurious things.
When the women heard Lin Chujiu's words, the two other women also said that they will be cooked rice paste at home. Lin Chujiu saw that the children only ate half stomach full. They need to eat again after two hours. So, she gave the guard a money to buy rice.
The women saw Lin Chujiu's generosity. So, the rest of the sellers said that they will go and looked for some stove that can be used to boil water. After all, some children were very thirsty.
The guard looked at Xiao Tianyao and looked at Lin Chujiu. When he noticed he was not needed, he slipped away decisively.
There was no stove in the backyard, but there was a well. The women let the guard build simple stove from the stones in the backyard. And then, they went outside to buy firewood, pots and wooden barrels. Each of them busies themselves.
There was no house around the Ci Entang. There were only a few people coming in that place. But now, people keep coming in and out. This scene quickly attracted the attention of the passerby. There was even a curious person, who ran closer to see the situation inside. But after he saw the situation inside, his eyes widen and ran far away.
As soon as he ran far, he was surrounded by people. "Gou'er, what is it? What's going on inside?"
The man named Gou'er shook his head and said: "There is a fool who took care of the children in Ci Entang."
"What? Someone went to the Ci Entang? Someone is destined be unlucky. The government will surely come. Let's go far away from this place, so we won't be dragged in here." The aware people said. The unaware people were very puzzled, so they pulled the aware people and asked. But no one was willing to give them an answer. This commotion spread out quickly.
People who only want to watch a live show were not afraid to make things big, they keep spreading out the news until… …
A group of government officials appeared on the street. The onlookers were all shocked in this. They dispersed and gave way to the government officials.
Regardless of the onlookers, the group of officials surrounded the area. When the leader of the officials saw a shadow inside the Ci Entang, his face darken and he pulled out his sword, then rushed inside.
"Who dared to make a trouble in Ci Entang?" Only Lin Chujiu was left taking care of the children inside the hall. Xiao Tianyao who was sitting in the corner completely hides his presence.
The leader didn't notice Xiao Tianyao's existence inside, so he pointed his sword at Lin Chujiu: "She's the one making trouble inside the Ci Entang. Come and take her away." When the leader finished his words, two officials went behind Lin Chujiu to take her away.
"Wait, wait." Lin Chujiu was startled. She took a stepped back with the baby and said: "Who are you? I didn't cause any trouble in the Ci Entang. The children here are the ones who were wronged. I'm just taking care of them."
"Who are we? Can't you see it? We are government officials." The leader pointed out his finger on his uniform, then added: "As for taking care of them? These children were under the care of the government. Who needs you to take care of them? Tell me, what is your real purpose in coming in Ci Entang? Do you want to sell these children?"
"You are bogus." Lin Chujiu laughed. "These children are seriously ill and frail. But you're saying your government officials are taking care of them?"
"You, how dare you speak ill of our government? This little girl seemed doesn't want to live anymore. What are you still doing? Take her away!" The leader winks his eye and shouted loudly: "This woman is the murderer who killed the abandoned children in the Ci Entang. Quickly, arrest her!"
In a sense, the leader unknowingly put a big crime on Lin Chujiu's head!
