Chu Yi was sweating profusely and bit his lips tightly. Seeing this, Dongfeng stopped his hands, took a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't bite your tongue."

He applied the medicine to Chu Yi, and comforted him softly: "Your wound has started to heal and scab, and it won't be so uncomfortable after taking the medicine a few more times."

Dongfeng bandaged him up, then covered him with a thin blanket, and took off the veil from his mouth.

Chu Yi laughed and said, "Thank you Brother Dongfeng."

Dongfeng smiled, "You don't have to thank me, I also obey orders, if you want to thank, thank my master and wife."

Chu Yi hurriedly said: "I don't know where the mansion is yet. After I woke up, I was busy taking medicine and changing it. I haven't had time to thank the Patriarch in the future."

"Young Master Chu is both a native of the capital and a scholar, so he must know my master," Dongfeng said proudly, "My master is the number one scholar in the past, and is now the Grand Tutor personally appointed by the Holy Majesty."

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, "It's Mr. Gu!"

Dongfeng nodded fiercely, "It's my master. You're lucky. Miss Xie, who you helped escape, met Miss Qu and Young Master Qu, and was brought back to Gu Mansion by them. That's when my master and wife bothered about being abducted." It’s not easy to say Miss Xie’s name to outsiders, so she casually fabricated a person to prevaricate the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent you here.”

Dongfeng tutted his head and said, "You don't know. When you first arrived, your hands and feet were broken, and your chest was beaten to a bloody mess. If you hadn't invited the imperial physician and used good medicine, you might not be able to save your life."

Chu Yi's face was flushed, and he whispered with a feverish face: "Thank you, Mrs. and Mrs. Chu Yi will never forget the grace of saving lives."

Dongfeng laughed and said, "My master said you were the one who saved you, so thank yourself if you want."

He packed up his things, glanced at Chu Yi and said, "There is a little girl named Qing Ling guarding outside, if you are thirsty, hungry or have anything to do, just call her, if she can't do it, she will go to the front to find her." mine."

Chu Yi said gratefully, "Thank you Brother Dongfeng."

Chu Yi hesitated for a while, but stopped him and asked, "Brother Dongfeng, did Miss Xie ask Mr. Gu to report to the government?"

Dongfeng raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yi blushed, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I, I heard what Mr. Gu and Brother Nanfeng said just now. I think it's not good to go to Chengjun Palace to say those things like that. It seems, it seems..."

"It seems that you want to repay your kindness, don't you?"

Chu Yi blushed, but still looked up at him firmly.

Dongfeng patted him on the head and said with a soft smile: "Boy, there are many good people in this world, but there are also many bad people. Don't think too much about people. Anyway, my master will not harm you."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Chu Yi who was hesitant to speak, turned around and left.

His wife has always been soft-hearted, and has always been tolerant and caring towards the children. Even she doesn't like Xie Yi, which shows how unpleasant she is.

It was his good fortune that his master was willing to help him, otherwise he would have sent them to the Chu residence in Tongzhengfang to inform his aunt to pick him up, why would he leave him at home to recuperate?

Chu Yi would not be a fool if he could help Xie Yichong escape from the trafficker's den, not only is he not a fool, he is also very smart.

Smart, he listened to Dong Feng's words, and thinking about what Gu Jingyun and Nan Feng said before, he guessed that Xie Yi didn't report to the official as they agreed before, and he was afraid that the people in the Gu family would find that it was wrong to report to the official.

Chu Yi's heart was indescribably complicated, but he no longer resisted Gu Jingyun's kindness.

Mr. Gu has already done this for him, if he refuses his kindness at this time, wouldn't he know what to do?

Chu Yi lay on the bed and pondered, calculating when his second uncle would be able to return to the capital, and how he would explain the disappearance if he returned to the Chu family...

Gradually, Chu Yi's eyelids gradually sank, and he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He seemed to be back in that dark little room again, where more than a dozen of their children leaned together in panic.

The traffickers guarding the door did not guard against them, and discussed the next journey outside the door. Chong Baoding turned to Tianjin, and then went south by boat.

Once they got on the boat, it would be difficult for them to escape, and even if they escaped, it would be difficult for them to return to the capital.

But Baoding is only one day away from the capital, and they still have a chance to return home after escaping, otherwise if they miss Baoding, they will miss this last chance.

Among the group of children, only he and Xie Yi were the biggest, while the others were terrified and did not dare to run away.

After much deliberation, only he and Xie Yi can give it a go.

There were four traffickers in total, two of them had to go out every day, and only two were left guarding them in the yard.

Chu Yi was arrested two days earlier than Xie, and he behaved obediently, so he got a lot of news.

The day before they were about to leave Baoding, God finally took pity on them. One of the two people who stayed was especially fond of drinking, and he would drink every time he stayed.

Chu Yi knew that even if they tried to escape from this courtyard, they might not be able to escape from Baoding. And there is only one chance, he dare not gamble, so the chance of escape should be favored by one person.

As long as one person escapes and reports to the police, they may be rescued.

Chu Yi really wanted to be this person himself, because he felt that he was smart and stable, and his uncle was an official, so he could rely on him in the Yamen. But seeing his friends staring at him suspiciously and expectantly, he could only stay and take command.

In the end, Xie Yi was chosen because she was quite courageous and her status was prominent.

The niece of Prince Cheng and the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she feels very powerful just by hearing it.

And Xie Yi is also smart and brave. She patted her chest and said that if she escaped, she would report to the officials and bring them to rescue them.

So a room full of children, both timid and bold, helped her escape together.

They also went out of the yard, running out as much as possible, one at a time, if they saw human traffickers chasing Xie Yi, they had to sacrifice themselves to keep Xie Yi.

Chu Yi knew that if a group of them all ran out, even if the traffickers caught them back, they would not kill them. They would starve for at most two meals, and then find out the leader and beat them violently to make an example.

Chu Yi had already thought about the consequences when he was young, so he hoped that he could escape.

He desperately ran out of the alley, following behind Xie Yi.

It's a pity that their luck was not very good. They ran into the other two traffickers who came back head-on. Chu Yi had no choice but to cover Xie Yi's escape, and he lured the two people away.

In the end, all the children who escaped were taken back, except Xie Yi.

They asked the people nearby for help, but no one would answer them. Chu Yi watched helplessly as a six-year-old friend had already hid in a family's house, but was taken out by the head of the family and thrown to traffickers...

Look, that's why he thinks they can't escape. Although the people around here won't help traffickers catch people, they won't help them cover up either.

And their power is too disparate, it is too difficult to escape from the hands of the tall, vicious and ruthless traffickers.

Chu Yi and the others were thrown back into the small black room, and Xie Yi was not caught until evening. Chu Yi was greatly relieved, thinking that they might be saved.

The traffickers couldn't find Xie Yi, and began to escort them to other places, and then interrogated the escape incident.

Chu Yi didn't dare to let his little friends stand out, so he could only stand up and admit everything by himself, and then it was a night of torture.

He seemed to be in his body, and seemed to be floating in the sky again. He only felt that the stick had fallen, and there was a click on his calf, and then the pain came, and he fell to the ground with a thump...

Chu Yi opened his eyes with a "swish", looked at the curtain above his head in sweat, and only after a while did he remember where he was.

He is safe now, he is no longer in the hands of traffickers. He is in Mr. Gu's home, that highly respected talented Mr. Gu will be back home in a few days...

Chu Yi comforted himself in his heart, but he still couldn't help crying in a low voice. The tears rolled down his face and landed on the pillow. If his father and mother were still there, if they were still there, he should be healing at home at this time. Yes, you shouldn't stay in the Gu residence...

Chu Yi held the stone slab in his hand, unable to even turn over, he could only lie straight on the bed, letting the tears fall down the side of his face, he couldn't even wipe it off.

Qu Weizhen was standing outside the door with a tray in her hand. Hearing the faint cries coming from inside, she hesitated for a while and still didn't go in.

Sitting on the railing, she heard the crying inside gradually stop, and opened the door after a long while.

Chu Yi, who just stopped crying, was startled, and turned his head to look at the red and swollen eyes.

Qu Weizhen smiled as if he couldn't see his eyes: "Are you hungry, do you want some food?"

Chu Yi blushed, and turned his head away uncomfortably, "Put it there, I'll use it later, are you Sister Qingling?"

"No, my name is Qu Weizhen. Sister Qingling went to the front and took my little junior sister to play." Qu Weizhen put the tray on the table, went forward to help him put the pillow behind his back, and made him straighten up , "Let me feed you, your hands are inconvenient now."

Chu Yi shook his head quickly, "What's wrong with this, Miss Qu should call Brother Dongfeng here."

As soon as he heard Qu Weizhen's name, he knew that she was Mrs. Gu's disciple that Dongfeng said, so he didn't dare to let her feed him.

Qu Weizhen tilted her head and thought for a while, seeing that he was really uncomfortable, she put the bowl aside and said, "Then you wait, I'll go and call my brother."

Dongfeng was busy, and An An was clamoring for Qingling to take her to play in the garden. It was because no one was taking care of Chu Yi that Qu Weizhen came.

Now that he was concerned about the difference between men and women, Qu Weizhen didn't want to embarrass him, so she went directly to the study and brought her younger brother who was studying hard, and asked him to feed Chu Yi, while she sat aside and supervised.

The three of them all study in the academy. Although they are in different academies, they still have a lot to talk about. The three of them talked together soon, and Qu Jingxi and Chu Yi hated seeing each other too late, so they couldn't help but directly took their textbooks and discussed directly.

Seeing this, Qu Weizhen smiled slightly, got up and left quietly.
