Chapter 34

Hot steamed buns cost seven cents each.

Gu Qianshan bought a total of 10 pieces, wrapped them in oil paper, tied them with fine hemp rope, and carried them directly back to the oxcart.

When they got to the bullock cart, Gu Qianshan and Ah Xue started eating one by one.

It tastes really good, and the meat inside is particularly solid and full of big chunks.

The buns are as big as two fists, so you can feel very full from just one.

"I've long heard that the state-owned hotel has a new chef. I didn't expect the buns to be so delicious. They are much better than the previous ones."

The Gu family is not short of money. When they come back from the town, they often pack food in state-owned restaurants.

In the past, the chef's cooking was really unpalatable, and the good ingredients were simply wasted. The price was so expensive that basically people who had eaten once would not be fooled a second time.

Gu Qianshan was the same. He had eaten braised pork once made by his former chef, but he had never thought that braised pork could be so spicy. Even the smell of soy sauce couldn't suppress the rich flavor.

After being fooled once, I never went there again.

Later, I heard that because the efficiency of the state-owned restaurant was so poor, people from above decided to change the chef after they came over to eat.

Good exchange, these big buns are so delicious, the food in the state-owned restaurant must be good.

"When we come next time, let's go to the restaurant to have a meal." Gu Qianshan clapped his hands and said to Gu Xue.

Gu Xue nodded, and the previously stagnant atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson suddenly became lively.

Two people sat on a bullock cart and drove back slowly.

Just when Gu Xue was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden exclamation in front of her, which immediately attracted the two people.

"Someone, come quickly! Someone, come quickly! Someone is robbing the child!"

"Please! Help! Help!"

"Someone is robbing the child! Help, someone is robbing the child!"

……

The woman's shrill voice echoed through the streets.

All they saw was a man in ordinary clothes with a cloth covering his face, holding a one-year-old child in his arms, coming towards them crazily.

As a retired soldier, how could Gu Qianshan see this happen?
  Without thinking, he jumped out of the car and rushed towards the man holding the child.

Gu Xue looked at the man and immediately saw the knife hidden in his waistband.

Gu Qianshan is so old. If he were injured while rushing over, it would not be easy to heal.

Subconsciously using his powers, he directly tied the trafficker's feet. The trafficker suddenly lost control and fell down.

The child was held in his arms. Gu Qianshan went over to suppress the child with his body, and then I put the trafficker's hands behind his back.

The trafficker knew that if he was caught, something bad would happen to him, so he struggled desperately after being pinned down.

Gu Qianshan was old after all, so he was freed by the trafficker without checking.

Fortunately, the child was caught by him.

In order to run away as soon as possible, the trafficker gave up on the child and ran quickly towards the corner, and soon lost track of him.

The woman who followed behind saw the child standing on the ground and Gu Qianshan who looked embarrassed.

I felt happy for a moment and started crying while holding the baby in my arms.

At this time, Gu Qianshan patted the dirt on his body, looked at the place where the trafficker left, and sighed helplessly.

"It's because he's older after all. If he were young, this beast would still be able to run away from him."

Gu Xue quickly ran over, wiped Gu Qianshan's face clean with her hand, checked that there was no injury on his body, and then felt relieved. I sighed slightly in my heart. Sure enough, I had been living comfortably for too long, and I didn't even react for a moment.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly at the time. If the trafficker had really pulled out the knife, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Grandpa, you must pay attention to this kind of thing in the future and put your own safety first." Gu Xue looked at Gu Qianshan worriedly.

Gu Qianshan shook his head and said righteously: "I haven't seen this kind of thing. If I see it, I can't ignore it."

At this moment, the woman next to her also reacted, and she felt a little excited when she saw Gu Qianshan.

He knelt down with the child in his arms. His eyes were full of tears, his hair was messy, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor! Thank you for saving my son!"

He kowtowed loudly three times!
  Gu Qianshan was startled and hurried over to help him up.

"As long as everything is fine, take the child to the hospital to see a doctor. If something is broken, it will be bad."

The woman nodded solemnly and kept bowing.

"Do you want us to take you to the hospital?" Gu Qianshan asked.

The woman shook her head, and a man rushed over next to her, who must be her husband.

The woman's husband was originally at work. When he heard that such a big thing happened above, someone familiar with the matter hurried over and called him over.

After learning what happened from others, he was immediately startled and rushed over.

As soon as I came over, I saw my wife bowing constantly, and I immediately understood what was going on.

At this moment, he also came over and knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you very much this time. This old gentleman, I don't know where he is from. I will send you my thanks when the time comes."

"No, it's just a simple task. Take your child to the hospital quickly!"

With that said, he drove the bullock cart and prepared to go back to the village.

The man looked at his wife and child, then at Gu Qianshan's back, and finally gritted his teeth and took the child to the hospital first.

We will always find out the news about this person. It is still important for him to be a child now.

Gu Xue was lying on the bullock cart at this time, closing her eyes and concentrating. She was actually using her mental power to track the trafficker.

Following the footsteps of the trafficker, he soon turned to a very hidden alley.

Not long after I entered, a door opened and there were two men inside.

As soon as the man entered, he pulled away the cloth covering his face, revealing a very ordinary face.

"How was it today? Did the family succeed?"

The people inside saw someone coming back and quickly asked. When they saw his empty hands, they suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Don't mention it. If you meet an old guy on the road, just give it to him. This thing is messed up. We estimate that he has attracted attention and we need to leave quickly."

The man smashed the table hard and looked angry.

Gu Xue used her mental power to scan the small courtyard. She didn't know what to look at. After reading it, a person like her who wasn't originally very emotional became a little angry.

It turned out that there were six children in this small yard, several of them were tied up, and some children who were unable to move were placed on the bed.

It seems that these were brought here by them.

These children were sallow and thin, and they looked like they had been hungry for a long time. There was also an infant boy with a red face, and he could tell he had a fever.

If not treated in time, this child will probably have serious sequelae later.
