Lu Jiao smiled, “Great, then you should remain happy! Ah, how about I buy each one of you a carved wooden box? You can use it to put your toys. We’ll buy some toys later.”
Though the Qinghe District was poor, there were lots of vendors on the street and a handful of them sold toys.
Lu Jiao noticed how much the four little ones stared at those toys when they walked by. Though they wanted them, they were good children and didn’t ask for them.
Lu Jiao could tell though and had no reason not to buy it for them.
As expected, the four little ones nodded eagerly, “Okay, mommy. Let’s buy big wooden boxes to keep all of our toys.”
Lu Jiao took the children and bought four carved mahogany boxes.
They ended up buying so much stuff that one trip wasn’t going to be enough. Lu Jiao asked Lu Gui to go back with the stuff first then come back to pick them up.
“We have too much stuff. There’s not enough s.p.a.ce to sit. Go drop off everything in the front courtyard. We can clean it up after.”
“Okay, then I’ll go first.”
Lu Gui and uncle Lin went back with all the stuff.
Lu Gui, Lin Dong, and Feng Zhi took the four children and shopped around the street vendors for toys.
Since the Qinghe District was rather poor, most families try to make money by making all sorts of unique stuff.
The street vendors, for example, had a whole spread of clay dolls, whistles, porcelain dolls, puppet tigers, and so on.
The four little ones had never seen so many different toys and were blinded by everything. They hopped around each vendor to check out what they were selling.
Lu Jiao had to yell at them twice to not run so fast before they calmed down.
She also asked Lin Dong and Feng Zhi to not lose sight of them.
Once the initial excitement pa.s.sed, the four little ones calmed down a lot.
The First Born loved porcelain dolls so Lu Jiao got him six at once. She wanted to get him more but he declined. Not only did he decline, but he also pointed to his six dolls and explained, “Mommy, look, this is daddy, this is you, this is me and my brothers.”
No wonder he wanted six – they were a family.
Lu Jiao patted his head, “Okay, then take care of them.”
“Okay, mommy.”
The First Born happily put away his new toys.
The Second Born found a vendor selling cuju. He picked one up and didn’t want to let go.
Lu Jiao checked it out. The cuju was roughly made, which meant the vendor was a hunter and made it himself.
The quality was not great but was enough for children to play around with. Lu Jiao got the Second Born one.
“Okay, you can kick this around with your brothers.”
Just then, Lu Jiao heard Feng Zhi’s panicked scream, “Lady!”
Lu Jiao turned around and saw that across the street, a slender man had picked the Third Born up and dashed away.
Feng Zhi screamed from fear. Lin Dong has never dealt with this before and was completely stunned.
Lu Jiao’s expression dropped and she shouted at Feng Zhi and Lin Dong, “Keep an eye on the other children. Don’t let them out of your sight!”
She then chased after the skinny man who took the Third Born.
Though Lu Jiao was strong, she wasn’t speedy. The thought of the Third Born being taken away and tortured, however, was enough to make her chase down that scoundrel.
When people on the street saw this, everyone screamed, “Oh my G.o.d, is that child being kidnapped?!”
“Something like this is happening in broad daylight?! Everyone, you must be careful.”
“Catch him! Don’t let him get away!”
In the alley next to the main street, officer Zhao and his team were surveilling the area. When they heard the chaos, they rushed over to see what was wrong.
Feng Zhi and Lin Dong recognized officer Zhao right away and cried, “Officer Zhao, hurry, save the young master! He was taken away by a human trafficker.
The lady chased after him!”
Officer Zhao’s expression changed and he started to run.
By now, Lu Jiao’s chest hurt from running. However, all she could see was the kidnapped Third Born.
The Third Born had realized what was happening and was wailing loudly towards Lu Jiao, “Mommy! Save me! Save me!”
The skinny man knew that Lu Jiao was still on his tail and made a sharp turn into one of the alleys. Lu Jiao chased after him. There, two people jumped out and circled Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao raised her arms and struck the people who approached her.
She used all her strength for this. One swing of her fist was enough to knock the attacker away. She continued to chase the human trafficker.
The human trafficker thought his helpers would stop Lu Jiao so his pace slowed.
Who knew Lu Jiao knocked out those two and never slowed down?
In the blink of an eye, Lu Jiao had caught up and aggressively kicked the kidnapper.
The kidnapper went flying while Lu Jiao s.n.a.t.c.hed the Third Born back.
The series of actions happened within seconds. The Third Born was now back in Lu Jiao’s arms.
Now that the child was back with his mother, he couldn’t help but wail.
“Mommy, I am scared! He’s so scary!”
Lu Jiao soothed, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here. Everything is okay.”
Just then, the slender man crawled off the floor and headed her way. The two people Lu Jiao knocked out before had also caught up.
At once, she and her son were surrounded.
Lu Jiao’s eyes turned cold. She moved her fingers and got ready to take a scalpel out of her sleeve.
From behind her, the sound of footsteps arose. The three attackers retreated a little and shouted, “Let’s go! Someone’s here.”
There was no way Lu Jiao was going to let them go. Seeing the skinny kidnapper retreating made her run towards him and kick him down. She then stomped on him and kept her foot there so he couldn’t move. The other two noticed how bad the situation was and ran away.
Officer Zhao arrived then. Once he saw that Lu Jiao and the Third Born were not hurt, he sighed in relief. He then punched the kidnapper, who was on the ground, until he was knocked out.
Now that the kidnapper had fainted, he finally had the time to ask, “Lady Lu, are you okay? ”
Lu Jiao shook her head to show that she was fine. The Third Born whimpered in her arms, shaken up from what happened.
Officer Zhao was somewhat relieved and said in a low voice, “Lady Lu, don’t worry, I’m going to detain and interrogate this person and provide you with an explanation..”
