Thinking of how kind her mother was to her during her lifetime, and how her stepmother had betrayed her now, and her father didn't say anything, Lin Xiaoxue felt sad in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxue's constant tears, Situ Ling thought she was still scared, so he coaxed in a soft voice: "Sister Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, we will be fine. When you laugh, go out and I will buy you a lot of delicious and fun things.

"After saying that, he blinked and looked at Lin Xiaoxue with his big eyes, which was so cute.

"Pfft! Thank you! Why are you so nice to me?" Why can an outsider be so nice to her, but her biological father and stepmother treat her like that?

Her stepmother actually sold her like this in order to buy pens and paper for her son and nice clothes for her daughter.

Situ Ling: Is this nice to her? Well, that’s right! She is also a poor baby.

Situ Ling looked at Lin Xiaoxue and smiled, her smart eyes curved into crescent moons, "Because I like you, little sister!"

Lin Xiaoxue was stunned when she heard this, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and thought to herself: No matter whether she can go out or not, for the little warmth this little sister gave her, she would protect her and escape even if she died. Anyway, she has no home now.

Now, I have nowhere to go.

Situ Ling would never have thought that just because of the few words she just said, she would have a friend who was willing to sacrifice his life for her in the future.

Lin Xiaoxue thought about it and looked at Situ Ling and asked angrily: "Can I call you Xiao Ling? Why aren't you afraid? Do you know who they are?"

Situ Ling felt funny in her heart. This series of questions made her...

"Okay, that's what my family calls me. Why should I be afraid? They have nothing to be afraid of. If I think about it, they will all fall down in less than a breath." Situ Ling winked mischievously as he spoke.

He lowered his eyes and continued: "Also, they are all bad people and are human traffickers."

Situ Ling didn't lie either. If she tried to spread the drug in the air, they would all fall down in less than two seconds after inhaling it.

But Lin Xiaoxue didn't know that. She thought Situ Ling's child's temper was a joke, so she didn't care.

Hearing Situ Ling say that they were human traffickers, Lin Xiaoxue pulled Situ Ling closer to her and said, "He, they want to sell us?"

Situ Ling nodded: "Yes, they will take us away when it gets later. Then you have to listen to me, don't resist, and go with them to avoid being beaten by them."

"Well, wait for them to take us out, and if you see the right moment on the road, you can run quickly and I will stop them for you." Lin Xiaoxue said to Situ Ling seriously.

The only way she could think of to escape was to let Xiao Ling escape while they were not paying attention on the way.

When Situ Ling heard her words, the corner of his mouth twitched and he thought: Girl, don't do anything stupid. If she wanted to leave, she would have left long ago. Do you have to wait until now?

Alas, let’s wait and see what happens!

Situ Ling here never imagined that his disappearance would cause uproar in the entire capital.

It is already dark. Here in the capital, the number of pedestrians on the bustling streets during the day is gradually decreasing, and the stall owners are closing their stalls and preparing to go home.

Next, the night market begins. Many shops have lanterns outside their doors. Although the night market in Beijing is not as crowded as during the day, it is still very lively.

Especially tonight, there were so many people on the road. Teams of people were walking up and down the street, as if they were searching for something.

People in the pedestrian restaurants on the road were talking about it:

"What's going on today? Why are there so many officers and soldiers?"

"Who knows! Could it be that a spy from that country came in and was discovered?"

Another person rolled his eyes at him: "How could they be catching spies? I think they are looking for something or someone."

"You see, when they ask passers-by, they all use their hands to indicate this height." This shows them to look at the officers and soldiers on the street outside.

The others nodded in agreement after hearing this, saying that his analysis made sense.

That person was right. The officers and soldiers on the street were all looking for Situ Ling. They had searched almost half of the capital, but still found nothing.

At the gate of the city, Situ Yu took his sister's picture scroll and asked one after another: "Madam, have you ever seen this girl? She is about this tall." He gestured with his hands to show her height.

The aunt shook her head: "No, I didn't see it."

"Thank you!" Situ Yu then asked: "Have you ever seen this little girl?"

Everyone gathered around to look at the scroll - one by one they shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

Situ Yu handed the scroll to the soldier and asked him to continue asking. Then he walked to the carriage exit next to him and asked, "Have you seen any suspicious carriages or merchants leaving the city?"

The captain heard Situ Yu's question and said quickly: "Go back to Prince Situ, I have sent people to search every carriage leaving the city here, and no suspicious carriages or merchants have been found."

Situ Yu frowned and said, "Well, keep checking."

"yes"

This city gate has four entrances and exits, two in and two out, one for carriages and one for pedestrians. Now they are all queuing up for inspection.

Situ Yu walked aside and pinched his eyebrows. He was really worried now. After searching for so long, there was no news. He was worried whether his sister was in danger or injured.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His body kept trembling, his face was pale, and his legs and feet were weak. If he hadn't been leaning against the city wall, he would have been unable to stand firmly and sat on the ground. At this moment, the sound of galloping horse hooves was heard in front of him.

.

He raised his head and saw clearly that it was Mo Qingnan riding towards him, and Situ Yu walked forward quickly.

I prayed in my heart: there must be news, my sister has returned home.

Mo Qingnan came to Situ Yu's side, got off his horse and said, "Yu, this way..."

"Qingnan, have you found my sister?" Before Mo Qingnan could ask if there was any news, he was blocked by Situ Yu.

Situ Yu stared at Mo Qingnan with his steady eyes, wanting to know a little bit of news about his sister from him.

Mo Qingnan felt uncomfortable looking at Situ Yu's pale face. He was also very worried about Xiao Ling'er, as was his sister, who was still crying at home and wanted to come out to help look for her.

"Yu, don't worry, we will definitely find Xiao Ling'er. Xiao Ling'er is so smart and she will be fine," Mo Qingnan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Situ Yu roared angrily: "I'm not worried. How could I not be worried? I've searched the entire capital, but there's no news at all. No matter how smart she is, she's still just a child."

After Situ Yu finished speaking, he punched the stone pillar next to him, and bright red blood flowed down instantly. As if he thought it was not enough, he continued to punch again.

Mo Qingnan was startled when he saw Situ Yu like this. He quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Yu, calm down. If you keep hitting me like this, your hand will become useless. I didn't mean it like that. We are all worried about Xiao Ling."

Son, but you can’t hurt yourself like this. Do you want Xiao Ling’er to come back and feel guilty?”

Hearing Mo Qingnan say something that would make Xiao Ling'er feel guilty, Situ Yu stopped torturing his hands.
