Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 127 2 Child

Su Yue leisurely chewed on the sweet and delicious candied walnuts in her mouth, occasionally making a crisp sound.

Just then, she suddenly signaled to Qiaoxia beside her to stop the carriage and quickly reached out and pushed open the carriage window.

A gentle breeze caressed her face, and she curiously leaned out the window, wanting to see what had happened.

A moment later, Su Yue noticed two figures standing out in the middle of the road not far behind the carriage.

There was a little boy lying pitifully on the ground, crying loudly. His cries were heart-wrenching, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Meanwhile, the slightly older child next to him was frantically trying to soothe the little one who was crying incessantly on the ground.

Su Yue frowned slightly and listened intently. At first, the cacophony of crying and the surrounding noise made it difficult for her to discern the specific situation.

But as time went on, she gradually focused her attention and finally heard the words the child lying on the ground was crying out. It turned out that he was calling for his carriage to stop!

After hearing this clearly, Su Yue turned around without hesitation and shouted loudly to Qiao Xia, who was driving the carriage in front, "Qiao Xia, hurry up and drive the carriage over to see what's going on!" Her voice was clear and loud.

When the carriage slowly came to a stop again in front of the child who was sitting on the ground crying, Su Yue gently leaned over the window.

With a curious look, he asked, "Hey, kid, why are you lying here all alone? What's on the ground?"

The child first sniffed and twitched his nose a few times, seemingly trying to catch the faint, sweet scent he had just smelled.

Then, he slowly lifted his little face, which was covered in mud.

The large eyes that had been filled with tears had stopped crying, and were now filled with an expression of expectation and longing.

"Sister, your carriage smells so good! I've never smelled anything so wonderful before!" the child exclaimed.

She rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands, as if afraid she couldn't see the older sister in front of her clearly.

Su Yue looked at the chubby little child and couldn't help but feel happy.

She thought to herself, this little child is much cuter than those naughty, impolite brats.

So she smiled and replied, "Little one, look here?"

Su Yue pointed to the sign hanging outside, indicating that the child should look for himself.

However, the child seemed to understand. He blinked his big, watery eyes and continued to ask, "Sister, your carriage smells so good!"

At this point, the child couldn't help but lick his lips.

I could almost picture the wonderful aroma entering my mouth, and I could almost see a drop of saliva dripping from the corner of my mouth.

Su Yue bent down slightly and carefully examined the child in front of her.

He blinked his big eyes, his gaze blank and empty, as if he were filled with unfamiliarity and curiosity about everything around him.

A thought crossed her mind: Could this child be illiterate?

So, Su Yue put on a friendly smile and pointed to the wooden sign covered with words in front of the stall, saying, "Little one, can you smell the sweet and delicious aroma here? Let me tell you, these delicious things can only be bought with silver!"

After saying that, she waited happily for the child's response, thinking that the deal seemed to be a sure thing.

However, when the child heard that money was needed to buy it, he was stunned at first, and then quickly reached into his clothes and began to grope around.

But after a long while, he couldn't pull anything out, and in the end, he could only helplessly lift up his little face, which was dirty and covered in tears.

She looked at Su Yue pitifully and said, "Sister, I...I don't have money to buy it. But can you come with me over there? I want to ask my mother to buy some for me."

Seeing how adorable the child was, and since she happened to have nothing else to do, she readily agreed, saying, "Alright, then I'll go with you."

Then, she turned to her maid Qiaoxiang and instructed her, "Qiaoxiang, come quickly and carry these two little ones onto the carriage. We'll take them to find their parents."

And so, Qiaoxiang carefully carried the two children into the carriage.

Along the way, Su Yue sat in the carriage, thinking to herself: These two little devils are really lucky to have met me. If they had unfortunately run into those child traffickers, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape their clutches!

Just as Su Yue's thoughts were wandering, the carriage suddenly came to a slow stop.

It turned out that there was still some distance to the place where the adults were resting, as the child had mentioned, but from a distance, it was already in complete chaos, noisy and chaotic as if a pot had been boiled over.

As Qiaoxia lifted the two children from the carriage and slowly stepped down, a slight commotion began to stir in the previously orderly procession.

The adults in the group keenly noticed an unfamiliar carriage approaching, and they all cast curious glances at it.

Just then, a sharp-eyed person suddenly noticed that the child Qiaoxia was holding in her arms was their own child, and their face immediately lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Among them, a beautiful young woman was particularly eye-catching.

When she caught a glimpse of the little boy in Qiaoxia's arms, a trace of color returned to her already pale face.

Then, as if suddenly coming to her senses, she rushed towards Qiaoxia like a madwoman, calling out the child's name repeatedly.

"My dear son! You've scared me to death! If you were lost, how could I go on living?" The young woman hugged the little boy tightly, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, instantly soaking the child's clothes.

She held the child tightly, her body trembling slightly from extreme fear and excitement.

At the same time, Su Yue also lightly jumped down from the carriage.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people, and a middle-aged man quickly stepped forward from the crowd.

His face was also filled with anxiety, but after seeing that the two children were safe and sound, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you so much, young lady, for your kind help in bringing my son home safely. Our whole family will never forget this kindness. Fenniang, come quickly and thank this kind young lady for her hard work in taking Lang'er and Mo'er home."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he urgently waved behind him, signaling the woman named Fen Niang to come over quickly.

The woman called Fenniang wiped away her tears, reluctant to let go of her son, and came to Su Yue, bowing respectfully.
