Chapter 288
Cheng Xue only stayed here for a moment, then she took Bai Shao away after receiving Li Hui's signal look.

When they returned to the house, the food was ready, but none of the children ate, and they all looked at Li Heng with concern.Pang Yao was on the verge of crying, and kept yelling "Brother Iron Dan".

"Mom, what's wrong with my brother, come and take a look, woo woo... woo woo..." Li Huai cried as he spoke, shaking Li Heng's arm non-stop.

Seeing this, Cheng Xue quickly took out the silver needle, and stabbed it at the tip of Li Heng's left middle finger.Following Li Heng's exclamation of "Ah--", Cheng Xue quickly pulled out the needle and hugged the child in her arms.

"I'm so scared to death, what's the point of saying it's unpleasant, how can I hold it back by myself."

Li Heng hugged his mother tightly, trembling all over.

"Mother, they are so pitiful. Mother, they are so scary. They bullied them so much, when we rushed in..."

"Okay, okay, mother knows, let's not talk about it, be good, don't talk about it."

At this moment, Cheng Xue felt conflicted.

Just now I was talking to my children, and I just said it if I was unhappy, but now I interrupt him.But it doesn't work all the time. The other children are there. Could it be that Li Yue and Li Tian have heard that the middle-aged man put the girl under him?
That's all, as long as the child can recover, it's better than anything else.

After hugging Li Heng for a while, she finally sat down next to the child to eat.

The noodles were lumpy and affected the taste, but everyone ate obediently without complaining.Even Li Huai, who is usually the happiest, is now eating obediently and honestly.

Li Hui and Pang Lao never came back, Cheng Xue handed Li Huai to Li Yue, went to Li Heng and Yan Yixin's house by herself, and stayed with them.Yan Yixin was fine, but Li Heng was in some trouble.

Even when he fell asleep, he was not at ease, and his body was always jerky and jerky.Cheng Xue didn't move, so she held his hand tightly and patted it lightly.

So, after half an hour passed, Yan Yixin whispered:
"Auntie, go back, I can take good care of Tiedan."

Cheng Xue also knew it was time to go back, otherwise Wen Tian would not be able to enter the house.

Gently withdrew his hand, tucked the quilt for Li Heng, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xin. If it's really impossible, just share the bed with him and put your arms around him."

"Got it, auntie."

In fact, Cheng Xue wanted Li Heng to stay with her before going to bed, but the child was older and had ideas, so there was nothing she could do.

Seeing Wen Tian waiting at the door when she went out, Cheng Xue said "Sorry" guiltily, and the latter shook her head as a response.

"Li Hui has to wait a while. Go and help Mr. Pang back. I call him, but he won't listen."

"Okay, I see." Cheng Xue responded and walked quickly towards the front hall.

Everyone stayed at the station, and the magistrate and the post were tied up in the stable.This is not a small matter, I'm afraid they will delay their trip, and they probably won't be able to travel so comfortably when they set off again.

Halfway through the walk, I saw Li Hui helping Mr. Pang out, and Cheng Xue hurried over to help Mr. Pang's other arm.

"You can't stay up late, hurry up and go back to your room to rest. Tie Dan and Brother Xin have all rested."

Mr. Pang let out an "um" and heaved a long sigh.

"Lu Yuchen, a second-class Jinshi in the seventh year of Yongle, I was the one who read the papers he could take the exam. How did such a high-spirited child become like...a beast!"

"People change, don't be angry with him, you can't do it." Cheng Xue hastily persuaded him.

If the old man is really angry, the crime of their husband and wife will be serious.

Stretching out his hand to check his pulse, apart from being a little angry, everything else is fine.

"Have the families of the five girls been found?"

"No." Li Hui shook his head slowly.

Mr. Pang took a deep breath, said "Oops" and said:
"Even if their families can be found, as it is now... I'm afraid the five children will die when they go home. Oh, what a pity!"

Hearing this, Cheng Xue looked at Li Hui, who nodded at her, clearly meaning that she could do whatever she wanted.

To save people is to go to the end, to send Buddha to the west.

But she can take away two at most, and five full belts are really exhausting.What's more important is whether these five girls can come out and whether they are willing to live.

"Is there someone watching over there at night? How about I go over there." Cheng Xue suggested.

The main reason is that they are afraid that there will be no one at night, and the five children will wake up and do stupid things again.

Old Pang waved his hand, "Don't go, you're tired after a busy day. Haiyang has already sent a doctor there, as long as they don't commit suicide, nothing will happen."

"Then what if..."

"Son, can you guard for one night, or for a lifetime?"

Cheng Xue pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.

After sending Pang Lao back to the house, the two also went back to their own room.In the house, Bai Zhi had already put the quilt down, and the water was brought over, which was still warm.It is estimated that the little girl always comes to test the water temperature.

After a brief wash, Cheng Xue sat leaning against the fire wall, unable to calm down for a long time.

After Li Hui got into bed, she murmured:
"When I saw the five of them, I thought of Li Yue and Li Tian. If there are girls from our family among the five, I think I can fight them hard."

Li Hui raised his hand to hold her Rouyi, nodded, and said:

"I will too. Lie down, let's lie down and chat."

Cheng Xue got into bed obediently. Although the two of them each covered a quilt, they were very close.

"When Mr. Hai arrived, he told me that the reason Lu was able to serve three times here was because there were people in Beijing. Mr. Pang sent people out to listen to the voices of the people, and learned that girls were often lost in the county, including those in the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th. Because they were girls, their parents didn't bother to find them. Over time, it became like this."

"Then the parents of these five girls have not been found?"

"I found it. Two of them are sisters and have no parents. The other three...the parents are all cursing and only want money. Even if they go back, they will not end well."

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch them die." Cheng Xue was troubled in her heart.

Intellectually, she can be pragmatic, but emotionally...she is a doctor after all.Healing the wounded and rescuing the dying is fine, but not doing nothing to save the dead is definitely not possible!

Li Hui was even more so. He was a soldier, and it was his duty to defend the country and the people.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you what I think. If the five of them can really survive, we will take the two sisters away, and Master Hai will help send the other three back to Wanghe Village. Let them go to work in the workshop, earn money and spend it by themselves. It won't be long before they come out."

"Is it true that no one will be guarded that night?"

"What do you think?" Li Hui asked back.

No one can wake up a person who deliberately pretends to be asleep, and no one can save a person who wants to die.

Cheng Xue pondered carefully, and finally decided to follow his advice, and just wait for tomorrow to see the result.But I was still praying in my heart, praying that the five girls would not be stupid, that it would be better to live than to die, that thin film didn't mean anything, only being alive was the most important thing!
"Go to sleep, don't think about it, it will definitely not be good if Mr. Pang sees this. We have to delay here for a while, you should be prepared."

"understood."

 There is a beast at home, I have no time to code during the day, I will come back tomorrow to catch insects
