Er Ya and Little Stutterer asked Little Yezi curiously, “What’s with Little Loach?”
Little Yezi looked at the mute who had walked away and said with lingering fear, “One day, Brother Loach and I were catching field chickens in a ditch outside the city and saw someone in his sack.” Little Stutterer said, “Ah! He… he’s a human trafficker.”
Little Yezi nodded. “He looks so scary!”
Er Ya nodded. “My brother said those human traffickers are very bad.”
Little Loach quickly ran back to the manor. When he saw Yangyang and Seven Pounds playing with spinning tops in the drying field, he hurriedly said to Gu
Yu, who was guarding at the side, “Sister Gu Yu, where did the steward go?”
Gu Yu pointed at the warehouse. “He went to the warehouse to find a rope to make a swing.”
Little Loach hurriedly ran into the warehouse and shouted at the door, “Uncle
Steward, there is a human trafficker coming up to the manor.”
“What?” Ji Xiang didn’t understand. He came out with the rope and looked at Little Loach, who was panting like a cow.
Little Loach pulled him out anxiously. “Uncle, a human trafficker was here.”
Ji Xiang pulled the flustered Little Loach. “Human trafficker? Where did you see him? How do you know hes a human trafficker?” Little Loach told Ji Xiang what he and Little Yezi had seen.
Ji Xiang was shocked. A human trafficker! How could this be? He hurriedly turned around and said to Gu Yu, “Quickly bring Young Master and Seven Pounds to the backyard and report to Madam that a human trafficker has come to the farmstead.” With that, he picked up Little Loach and ran.
Gu Yu pulled the two of them hurriedly towards the backyard. “Young Master, Seven Pounds, a human trafficker was here. Let’s go back to the backyard quickly.”
Seven Pounds asked as they walked, “Sister Gu Yu, what’s a human trafficker?”
Gu Yu thought for a moment and said, “Human traffickers are evil. They’re bad people who steal kids.”
Seven Pounds looked at Gu Yu. “Do bad people want to steal naughty kids?” Gu
Yu nodded.
Yangyang waved his small fist. “Sister Gu Yu, don’t be afraid. I learned martial arts from Brother Seven Pounds. Let’s hit him.”
Seven Pounds also clenched his fists. “Yes! I learned martial arts from Young
Master.”
Gu Yu smiled at the two of them. “Alright, the two of you can hit him together.”
Ji Xiang carried Little Loach and ran to the stream. Little Yezi said to Ji Xiang, “Uncle Steward, that person was walking down with a pole and a sack. Sister
Xiao Qiu and the others are cutting grass in the wasteland below the cornfield.”
“We’re not releasing the ducks today. Hurry up and go back.” With that, Ji Xiang rushed towards the place where Xiao Qiu and the others were cutting the grass. When he arrived at the wasteland, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the children. He said to them, “Xiao Qiu, Yanzi, go back.”
“Aye!” Xiao Qiu looked up at Ji Xiang and agreed. She said to Yanzi and the other three girls, “Sister Yan, Cao’er, Uncle Steward is here to look for us.”
Seeing that their backpacks were filled to the brim, Ji Xiang walked over to help carry one and asked them, “Have you seen a man in black walking over?”
Xiao Qiu and the two girls shook their heads. Yanzi and Cao’er pointed at the bushes in front of them and said, “We saw a man in black clothes carrying a pole into the forest.”

Ji Xiang glanced at the bushes not far away and instructed, “Go back first. Don’t come here to cut grass for the next two days. Let Shui Sheng and a few older children come. ”
Cao’er asked, “Uncle, is that person a bad person?”
Ji Xiang was afraid that they wouldn’t know the severity of the matter, so he said to them, “It’s a human trafficker. Little Loach said that he saw him put someone in a sack.”
“Oh!” The girls jumped and followed Ji Xiang back.
Gu Yu returned to the main courtyard and found Li Yu, who was scattering rapeseed in the back garden. She told Li Yu the news that a human trafficker had come to the manor. When Li Yu heard this, she frowned and thought to herself she didn’t hear Zhou Jia mention that someone in the city had been kidnapped. Even if there were kidnappers, logically speaking, they wouldn’t come to the manor to kidnap children. Could it be that they had other motives? Li Yu recalled her ill-fated relationship with the Wang family and immediately became vigilant.
Gu Yu looked at the silent Li Yu and picked up the plant ashes in the dustpan to sprinkle on the scattered rapeseed. Yangyang and Seven Pounds held Li Yu’s hand and said, “Mother, Sister Gu Yu said that someone is here to steal children.”
Li Yu squatted down and looked at the two of them. She touched their braids.
“That’s right! Remember not to run out alone!”
“Yes, Madam,” Seven Pounds agreed obediently. Yangyang waved his fist.
“Mother, I know martial arts. I’m not afraid.”
Li Yu looked at him and picked him up. She smiled and said, “You’re too young. You won’t be able to move if someone nabs you.”
Yangyang struggled hard a few times. Seeing that he really couldn’t move, he wrinkled his nose and pouted. “Father said that Yangyang will grow faster if he eats more. I’ll eat well in the future.”
Li Yu kissed him. “Yes! Eat well and cultivate well.”
Ji Xiang brought Little Loach and Little Yezi to the back garden and said to Li Yu, “Madam, these two children saw him.”
After Li Yu heard the two children tell her what had happened, she said to the two timid children, “You guys will play in the manor these few days. Don’t run around and don’t go out alone, understand?”
Seeing that Li Yu was as gentle as Ji Xiang and the others, the two of them nodded with a smile. “Got it.”
Li Yu looked at Yangyang and Seven Pounds, who were holding their hands, and said, “Alright, go play!” The children ran off hand in hand.
Looking at the children’s carefree gait, Li Yu told Ji Xiang her worries and said to him, “Ji Xiang, I don’t think this person has good intentions. Think about it, kidnappers usually capture children in places with a lot of people. It’s impossible for them to come to the village to abduct children. From tonight onwards, everyone has to be careful. Yangyang and Seven Pounds have to be accompanied at all times. You can start teaching the children you’ve chosen.”
Ji Xiang believed Li Yu’s words without a doubt because Li Yu had always been quite sensitive to danger. “Yes, Madam. It looks like we need to take some precautions.”
Li Yu looked at the greenhouse behind the garden and walked around the garden. She chose a location and said to Ji Xiang, “Get someone to dig traps around here and plant spikes inside. Set up traps at all the places that enter the courtyard. Let Ruyi return to the government office and ask if anyone has reported missing.”
“Yes, Madam.” Ji Xiang went to the construction site and found Ruyi. He told him Li Yu’s guess and asked him to return to the city.
The mute quickly circled from the bushes to the shallow mountain behind the manor and climbed onto a big tree to hide. He looked down at the layout of the houses in the manor and silently remembered it before coming down from the tree. He returned to the city and showed the layout he had memorized to Su Xianyin. She saw that the mute’s sketch was vivid and realistic in presenting the layout of the manor.
After Su Xianyin finished studying the sketch, the mute gestured and asked,
“Boss, do you want to watch for two more days before taking action?”
Su Xianyin shook her head and pointed at the roof of the main courtyard. She said to the mute, “Speed is important in war. Let’s take action tonight. When we get there, we’ll go around the wall behind the manor and go to the roof of the main courtyard. Go down and use the bewitching incense to knock down the guards in the courtyard and the people in the main room. I’ll enter the house and abduct the target.
The mute nodded and watched her gesture. “Rest at home. I’ll be fine alone.”
Su Xianyin looked at him and smiled. “It’s safer for two people. You have to understand that she’s the wife of the magistrate. She’s worth more than ten thousand taels of silver!”
The mute stared blankly at her flower-like smile for a moment. Suddenly, he blushed and walked away with his head lowered.
Su Xianyin smiled at the mute’s back and folded the sketch before putting it in her sleeve pocket..
