"Is there anyone?"
"No one, but there are signs of a fire. Go and report it to the eldest son!"
Two men who looked like servants muttered, and one of them hurriedly left with a torch.
After a while, a large group of people came.
The leader was Lin Zhiyu.
After seeing the familiar figure, Chu Jingzhe's eyes turned red and she almost cried.
"Sir, there are signs of fire here, but I don't know if it's Miss Chu or the others..."
"Brother!"
Lin Baoer climbed out of the bushes, howled and rushed towards Lin Zhiyu.
"Boooooo, brother, you are finally here! If you don't come, Sister Chu and I will have to feed the wolves in the wilderness! Woohoo, someone is trying to kill us! Fortunately, we escaped on our own! Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see us. Me!"
Lin Baoer cried out of breath while holding Lin Zhiyu's legs, wishing she could tell all her pain.
At this time, Chu Jingzhe also walked out, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, but because there were other people around, she did not cry out.
"Mr. Lin." Her voice trembled, and tears fell from her eyes as soon as she spoke.
Looking at the two people who were in a panic, as if they were fleeing, Lin Zhiyu felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife, suffocating and throbbing.
But in the end, that hanging heart finally let go.
"Go tell Mo Bai, Ru Qian and Mr. Chu that they have been found." He said in a trembling voice, suppressing the instinct to rush forward, squatting down and wiping Lin Baoer's dirty face, pity and comfort: "Be good, It's okay, let's go home."
This is what I wanted to say to her.

...
Lin Manor near Wanshuiling.
Shen Xuelan, who came in a hurry, didn't care about anything else, picked up her skirt and ran into the house.
"Bao'er!"
"Mom!"
As soon as Lin Bao'er saw her, he jumped up from the bed, flattened his mouth, and his nose and tears came out.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mom, you almost couldn't see me!" She cried, her voice was hoarse due to the whistling of her milk, which made people feel very distressed.
"My Bao'er!" Shen Xuelan's eyes were red and she took her into her arms, her body was shaking, and she cried together with Lin Bao'er.
"How are you? Are you injured anywhere? Does it hurt?"
She looked over Lin Baoer over and over with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.us, mother…"
"And here, it hurts, too."
"It hurts everywhere."
As he spoke, Lin Baoer exposed his arms and thighs.
Most of these two places were full of bruises and scratches, and the palms of the hands were even covered with cuts, which made Shen Xuelan feel a dull pain in her heart. "My Bao'er has endured hardship." She bit her lip and choked, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she pressed Lin Bao'er into her arms again.
The three brothers from the Lin family next to them looked very distressed and remorseful, and they all wished they could have suffered this injury for Lin Baoer.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.u.a.g., have those bad guys been caught?" Lin Baoer sniffed with tears in her eyes, wiped her tears again, and rubbed them all on Shen Xuelan.
Shen Xuelan didn't mind at all and wiped her with pity, "Don't worry, your father has sent someone to chase her."
"What about Sister Chu? She was injured much more seriously than me." Lin Baoer was worried, "At that time We accidentally rolled down the hillside. Sister Chu protected me and I was fine, but she suffered a big cut on her forehead. "
There was a lot of blood, and I almost thought Sister Chu wouldn't wake up, but." Fortunately, fortunately, she's fine."
Lin Zhiyu's expression moved slightly and he clenched his fists with restraint.
The more she talked, the more worried Lin Baoer became. She raised her head from Shen Xuelan's arms and said, "Mother, I want to go see Sister Chu."
Shen Xuelan naturally agreed when she heard this. She originally wanted to thank Chu Jingzhe for protecting Lin Baoer all the way. Otherwise, I am afraid that a little kid like Lin Baoer, no matter how smart he is, will not be able to escape alone from the surrounded mansion.
Chu Jingzhe's constant protection was inevitable.
After arriving in the next room, Lin Baoer threw herself directly to the bed.
"Sister Chu, are you okay?"
At this time, Chu Jingzhe had already changed into clean clothes, with a layer of scarf tied around her head and wrists. Her face was pale and she looked very haggard.
She smiled, rubbed Lin Bao'er's head, and whispered, "I'm fine."
"Thanks to Miss Chu, otherwise my Bao'er might be..." Shen Xuelan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Chu Jingzhe shook his head, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Bao'er. If it weren't for her in the woodshed, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape."
"When we were in the wild, it was Bao'er who took advantage of my sleep to find food and water. , otherwise I might not be able to insist on finding you."
"Bao'er is the bravest and smartest girl I have ever seen. Without her, I can't imagine where I would be now."
"It's my turn to thank her. That's right."
It was Lin Bao'er who found the fire fold and the blade. When she was stuck in a dog hole, it was Lin Bao'er who never left her. When she fell asleep in a tree hole, it was Lin Bao'er who risked her life in the heavy rain to find a shield for her. Even in the cave, Lin Baoer went to find life-saving food and water alone.
Without Lin Baoer, she really didn't dare to think, in a place full of jackals, tigers, leopards and pursued by soldiers, could she really survive?
After hearing this, Shen Xuelan's eyes became even redder.
"Obviously you should thank Sister Chu." Lin Baoer pouted, stretched out his hand to touch the scarf on Chu Jingzhe's forehead, and blew it close to her, "If it weren't for Sister Chu, how could I have come back with all my hair and tail, I'm afraid not A missing arm means a missing leg."
[This is called a friend in need! Not only did they not think that I was a burden, but they still risked their lives to protect me. Who can do this nowadays? If eldest brother treats Sister Chu badly in the future, I will definitely not be able to spare him! snort! ]
"Okay, now it's better to let them have a good rest."
Lin Qiming, who arrived late, sighed and rubbed his eyebrows, "I have sent people to chase that wave of people. The official roads, docks, inns, and intersections are all blocked. Under the circumstances, they won't be able to escape very far. There should be news tomorrow."
"Thankfully, Master Lin, otherwise I would be helpless about this!" Master Chu sighed.
Lin Qiming was able to send people to mobilize the army, so this was the reason why he sent people to the Lin Mansion to report the news in the first place. Otherwise, the Chu family might not be able to catch those thieves at all.
"Where is it?"
After returning, Lin Baoer fell asleep under Shen Xuelan's gentle words soon after returning.
The rest of the Lin family, except Lin Ruqian, all went to the study room in the manor.
"Dad, I sent someone to find out. Although Mr. Xu is not very close to the Xu family in Wanxi, there were more than one or two letters sent from Wanxi just some time ago. "(End of chapter)
