Su Li wiped the sweat off her forehead. She had finally coaxed these children.
Seeing that they had finished eating the pastries, Su Li said, “You guys climb up this ladder. I’ll get someone to send you home later.”
“I don’t dare. Boohoo…”
A child cried when he saw the ladder. They had been pampered at home and had never climbed such a high place.
After this child started crying, and the other children also cried. It was as if this cry had magic. One after another, cries sounded.
When Su Li heard these cries, her head started to hurt again.
Why were these children not cute at all? They cried at the drop of a hat. Fortunately, He Qingyao and He Qingmu did not cry so much. Otherwise, she would really be annoyed to death!
“Stop crying!” Su Li said.
At this moment, none of the children listened to Su Li’s words. All of them were immersed in their own cries.
When He Qingmu saw that the situation was out of control, he stood up and said loudly, “Stop crying. If you continue crying, we’ll leave all of you here.”
The children cried even louder when they heard this.
“I want my mother. I want my father. Boohoo…”
“Father, where are you? Come and save me!” “Mother, I feel terrible. My body hurts…”
Su Li: “…” Who could save her?
He Qingmu puffed up his cheeks and said, “Continue crying. If those people hear your cries and come over, you won’t be able to go home for the rest of your lives. They will sell you to a faraway place and you won’t be able to find your parents for the rest of your lives.”
“If you don’t cry, my mother will bring you to find your parents later. In no time, you’ll be able to see your parents!”
“Really?” The child beside him asked.
He Qingmu nodded vigorously. “Of course it’s true. My mother is very powerful. She was the one who found us just now. If not for her, all of you would still be tied up!”
He Qingmu was full of confidence and his tone was filled with pride, as if Su Li was the most powerful person in the world.
He Qingmu’s words were indeed effective. Some of the children began to stop crying and sniffled. “Boohoo, I’ll stop crying. We won’t cry anymore. We want to go home to our parents.”
“I’m not crying anymore either. I want my mother.”
He Qingmu said, “Alright, as long as you don’t cry and listen to me obediently, we’ll send you home later.”
When Su Li saw that they were finally appeased, she heaved a sigh of relief. If they continued to cry like this, she would really have to escape.
However, it was impossible for these delicate and weak children to climb up on their own. Su Li could only carry them up one by one.
Su Li was worried about He Qingmu below and said, “Qingmu, go up first.”
He Qingmu shook his head and said, “I’ll help you downstairs. I’ll go up later.”
These children were all crybabies. If they all went up, who knew who would start crying? Therefore, he should comfort them below!
Su Li had also thought of this, but she was worried that He Qingmu was afraid of the dark. She asked, “Will you be afraid down there?”
She remembered that He Qingmu was afraid of the dark. Previously, the two brothers had even come to sleep with her because of the thunder. There was once when they did not dare to sleep alone because it was too dark.
It was so dark under the cellar. Didn’t he feel afraid? It must be this child trying to be brave!
At the thought of this, Su Li couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
He Qingmu shook his head and said, “Mother, I’m not afraid. I’m an indomitable man. I’m not afraid of the dark!”
Actually, he was still a little afraid, but in order to help Su Li, he had to overcome his fear. Moreover, his father had also said that he had to be brave enough to face his weakest side and turn it into his steel. This way, nothing could defeat him.
“Really?” Su Li confirmed again.
He Qingmu nodded with certainty. “It’s true. Mother, quickly bring them up!”
Seeing that He Qingmu’s expression did not seem to be fake, Su Li handed the flashlight to him. “Alright, take this. With it, it won’t be dark below. I’ll carry them up and come down!”
He Qingmu nodded obediently and expressed that he would take good care of the children below.
Su Li was very gratified. Indeed, there was no harm without comparison. While children of the same age only knew how to cry, He Qingmu already knew how to help her.
Su Li carried the children up one by one and reminded them not to run around. They sat obediently in the room and waited for her.
Fortunately, these children were still considered obedient. They stood rooted to the ground and waited for Su Li. Su Li was also exhausted carrying these children up.
Just as Su Li had just carried everyone up, Zeng Qing’s men had also found her. Su Li did not even have time to take a breather. She even suspected that this group of people did it on purpose!
Otherwise, why would they come at this time? It was definitely because they did not want to work.
The sudden appearance of a stranger frightened these children, and they all hid in Su Li’s direction.
Seeing their frightened expressions, Su Li comforted them. “Don’t be afraid. They’re good people. They’ll bring you to your parents later.”
The servants were not used to being suddenly named as good people. This was the first time they had heard someone say that they were good people.
Uh, this feeling was not bad!
Su Li held He Qingmu’s hand and said to them, “I’ll leave these children to you. You’re in charge of sending them to the government office and getting their families to come and take them away.”
They did not know who these children belonged to. Moreover, they might be misunderstood if they were sent back like this. It was better to hand them over to the government office!
Zeng Qing’s men nodded, indicating that they would definitely send the children back. After all, Zeng Qing had already instructed them to listen to Su Li before they left, so this small matter was nothing!
However, they were very surprised by the number of these children. They thought that He Qingmu was the only one, but they did not expect there to be so many children. These human traffickers were too arrogant. They dared to snatch children in broad daylight. They must have done this many times in the past.
However, what made them feel a little strange was that these people couldn’t defeat Su Li alone? Why were they tied up like this by her?
Could it be that they would obediently let Su Li do whatever she wanted?
This did not seem possible!
Su Li saw their confusion and explained, “It’s just some small tricks. I happened to succeed in using them. I didn’t expect the effect to be quite good.”
The servant asked curiously, “Madam Su, what method did you use? Can you teach us?”
Su Li shook her head. “I don’t usually tell others about this unless the other party is my disciple.”
When Su Li said this, everyone fell silent. They didn’t want to acknowledge a master, especially when it is a woman..
