Chapter 889: Chapter 885

During the day, those two people came with others to negotiate the price...

He didn’t want to be sold, but what could he do to escape? Qingming struggled, but the ropes on his hands and feet were very tight. What should he do? He’s been missing for so long; I wonder if Mom has been crying all this time? Mom still has a little sister in her belly, she shouldn’t cry.

Suddenly, there was a thud on the window.

"Hmm?" Qingming suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly in the dark.

He thought he had heard wrong, but after a while, there was another ’thud’.

"Who?" Qingming asked cautiously.

"Ah!" A slight gasp.

That voice... Qingming immediately felt a surge of hope; it was Ning Meng!

Outside the corner of the wall, there were sounds of movement; Ning Meng was moving stones since she wasn’t tall enough to reach the window, she had to raise herself up.

Qingming looked up, and Ning Meng’s shadow vaguely cast on the window... In his eyes, that was the hope for escaping to freedom.

This run-down mud house had windows that were easy to open. Ning Meng raised her hands and pushed it open with force, leaping lightly and sitting on the window sill. Moonlight shone in, and a smile appeared on her not-so-fair face, "Qingming brother."

"Ning Meng."

Qingming also smiled; he hadn’t expected Ning Meng to come! He thought he was doomed this time!

Ning Meng jumped down from the window sill and walked over.

"Shh..." Ning Meng gestured, "Be quiet! They’re guarding in front, we’ll run from here!"

"Okay." Qingming dared not breathe loudly and nodded obediently.

Ning Meng struggled to untie the ropes, and once Qingming’s body was free, the two children tightly clasped hands, "Ning Meng, can we escape?"

"Yes!" Ning Meng nodded confidently, "We can! This is Ailao Mountain; I grew up here, those two will never know it as well as I do! Jump out the window, I’ll lead you to escape!"

"Alright!"

Seven-year-old Ning Meng was slightly taller than six-year-old Qingming, even though Qingming was already outstanding among boys his age.

The window ledge was a bit high, Ning Meng decisively crouched down and lay on the ground, "Qingming brother, step on my back to climb up!"

"..." Qingming was stunned, feeling a moisture in his heart. Without much thought, he lifted his foot and stepped on.

"Ugh..." Ning Meng groaned; after all, she was only a seven-year-old child!

Qingming couldn’t bear it, "Ning Meng?"

"It’s okay! Hurry!" Ning Meng gritted her teeth, urging him.

"Alright!"

Qingming climbed up and extended his hand to Ning Meng, "Ning Meng, come up!"

"Yes!"

The two kids jumped out of the window.

Both landed on the ground... naturally, they hurt from the fall.

But Qingming laughed, "Haha..."

"Don’t laugh!" Ning Meng hurriedly covered his mouth, frowning, "Be careful, don’t let them hear!"

Qingming blinked his eyes and seriously nodded.

Ning Meng looked at him and smiled with pursed lips, "Does it not hurt anymore? Get up, let’s run!"

"Yes!"

Hand in hand, they ran forward.

At this time, Doctor Ning was awakened by his wife.

"Oh no! Wake up quickly, Ning Meng is missing!"

"What?" Doctor Ning was wide awake, panicking as he scrambled up, "How could it be? Wasn’t she asleep?"

Inside their daughter’s bed, it was empty and had long been cold!

"What should we do? Where could Ning Meng have gone?"

Doctor Ning’s brows furrowed tightly, "She must have gone to look for that boy Qingming!"

"Ah..." The wife was startled and unable to speak.

Doctor Ning quickly dressed, "I’ll go find her! I will definitely bring her back!"

In the mountains, Ning Meng held Qingming’s hand and sprinted.

In the dark night, despite having moonlight overhead, the visibility was still unclear.

"Ah!" Qingming slipped and fell.

After all, he hadn’t grown up in these mountains, so naturally, navigating these paths wasn’t as easy for him as it was for Ning Meng.

Ning Meng hurriedly helped him up, "Brother, are you alright?"

Qingming shook his head, "These paths are too hard to walk."

"Yeah." Ning Meng frowned, "Quickly get up!"

Looking up, she saw a distant firelight, Ning Meng was shocked, "It seems they’ve noticed and are coming after us!"

"Huh?" Qingming was anxious, supporting his arm to get up, only to find his ankle hurt badly, "Ah..."

"What’s wrong?" Ning Meng was worried, "Brother, what’s wrong?"

Qingming shook his head, "My foot... seems to be twisted! It hurts so much, I can’t walk anymore!"

At this time, unable to walk?

Ning Meng clenched her hands tightly, what to do?

"Ning Meng!" Qingming pushed Ning Meng, "You should leave! If they catch up and see you, they definitely won’t let you go! If they sell you with me, that would be bad! You came to rescue me, I can’t let you get caught because of me!"

Ning Meng stood frozen, unable to leave her brother!

"Go quickly!" Qingming urged, "Why are you still standing there?"

"No!" Ning Meng shook her head resolutely, crouching in front of Qingming, "I can’t leave you! Get on, I’ll carry you!"

Qingming was stunned, such a young girl... but treating him so sincerely...

Qingming clenched his hands and climbed onto Ning Meng’s back.

Chapter 582 Will Repay Well

On the rugged mountain trail, Ning Meng’s frail body carried Qingming.

Every step was difficult.

The weather was cold, yet Ning Meng was sweating profusely.

Qingming pulled at his sleeve to wipe her sweat, "Ning Meng, put me down! I’ll be fine, even if I get sold... My dad will still find me! You’ve sweated so much."

Moreover, he vaguely understood in his heart, that under such circumstances, Ning Meng carrying him wouldn’t be able to go far at all!

"Stop talking!" Ning Meng was even mad, a little girl, yet full of stubbornness, "As the older sister, how can I leave my brother? You, as a man, shouldn’t give up so easily... even I haven’t given up!"

"..."

Qingming was stunned and fell silent.

By moonlight, he looked at Ning Meng, and if one day... Dad came for him, he’d repay Ning Meng!

...

Those two were leading people, chasing after Qingming and Ning Meng.

Cursing all the way, "Damn! Who the hell messed up my business?"

"What’s the background of that kid? So many fate-changers!"

"Exactly! When we abducted him, we didn’t expect so much trouble!"

"Cut the crap! Hurry up! They can’t have gone far!"

Ning Meng carried Qingming, moving step by step, how could they possibly outrun a group of adults sprinting?

"Stop!"

Seeing those people catching up.

Qingming became anxious, "Ning Meng, quickly put me down! Run!"

Ning Meng was sweating profusely, yet unwavering, "No! Even if something happens, I will carry you!"

Qingming became stubborn too, "You’re such... are you dumb? Why accompany me in getting into trouble?"

He twisted his body, "Put me down quickly! Run!"

"No!"

Amid the struggle, Qingming fell to the ground.

Ning Meng was shocked, "Brother!"

Qingming endured the pain, "Don’t worry about me! Run!"

"I won’t..." Ning Meng’s knees buckled, and she knelt to the ground.

Seeing the bad guys getting closer and looking back at Qingming who fell to the ground, she finally couldn’t hold back and began to cry.

"Wah..." Ning Meng cried out, "Why do you always want me to leave? I’m already exhausted! I worried something would happen to you, and hurried out from home at night! I wanted to save you! But I didn’t expect it still wouldn’t work! Didn’t manage to save you, instead you fell so many times... Brother, do you hurt?"

Qingming was stunned, at this moment, she was still worried about if he was hurting?

He raised his hand, reaching out to Ning Meng, "Don’t cry anymore, why are you so stupid? We’re about to be caught by the bad guys, does my pain matter?"

Ning Meng sobbed, "It matters, of course it matters!"

With that, those two were already leading people to their side.
