Qin Yu was shocked and hid behind a tree to observe.

Someone kicked one of the fat robbers’ butt. The fatty squealed like a pig being slaughtered and knelt, begging for mercy. “Grandpa, spare me! Spare me! I really don’t know where that girl went! I swear on my life that we didn’t hurt her. We really didn’t hurt her. She ran away on her own!”

The fatty broke down and cried loudly.

Another person came over and kicked him. He said impatiently, “Shut up, why are you crying? I told you, if you can find that girl, you’ll live! If you can’t find her, you’ll die! Get up!”

The skinny man beside him knelt down with a plop. “Big Brother, Big Brother! We really have nothing to do with this. It was that Mrs. Shi who asked us to do it, but we really didn’t hurt that girl. You... You should go and find that Mrs. Shi. It’s all her, it’s all her, she’s too wicked! You mustn’t spare her!”

That person kicked him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Do I need you guys to say it? Since you did this, you’re responsible! Find her! Quickly!”

Qin Yu was confused. Was the person they were looking for her? At this moment, Qin Yu was like a frightened bird. She no longer trusted anyone.

She quietly hid behind a thick tree, but those people were getting closer and closer. Because she was afraid of being discovered, she had to carefully move her position.

She accidentally stepped on a withered branch, making a slight sound. Although Qin Yu did not think that was much noise, those people had heard it.

The black barrels of the guns were all pointed at the big tree that Qin Yu was leaning against. “Who are you! Show yourself!” Someone shouted angrily.

Qin Yu felt her heart stop. She really did not expect that she would die here today.

It was too sad. This life was too sad.

“If you don’t come out now, we’ll shoot!” A cold voice sounded. Qin Yu even heard a click. That was the sound of the safety pin being turned on. Qin Yu was familiar with that sound even from a young age.

She clenched her fists and slowly walked out from behind the tree. At this moment, she was in an extremely sorry state.

Her beige overalls had long lost their original color. There were a few scratches, and her t-shirt was stained with blood, which belonged to the man in the cave.

Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered in grime. Only her eyes shone as she calmly looked at the group of people in front of him.

This was a group of people who looked like soldiers but also like mercenaries. Camouflage uniforms, combat boots, and loaded guns were all pointed at Qin Yu.

“Miss... Miss... Miss... Ahhhh!” The fat and skinny robbers were so excited that they cried as they crawled to Qin Yu’s feet.

“Miss... We finally found you. If we hadn’t, we’d be dead by now!”

“Miss, Miss! This is she!” The skinny man quickly turned around and looked at the people behind him. He was so surprised that his snot and tears flowed out.

Qin Yu couldn’t help but take two steps back. All the guns were put away.

“Qin Yu, is that you?” The leader in the camouflaged uniform asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Qin Yu didn’t say anything and looked at them.

The leader confirmed her identity and couldn’t help but get excited. “Qin Yu, don’t be afraid. We’re here to pick you up. We’re your parents’ comrades!”

Qin Yu did not move. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She pointed at the two men on the ground and sneered, “They said that my mother made them kidnap me!”

The leader quickly said, “Qu Li is not your mother. Your mother is Zhu Yi. You are the daughter of Qin Sheng and Zhu Yi. Do you still remember when you were young? I am Uncle Xu Da. When you were young, I carried you.”

The man who called himself Uncle Xu Da tried his best to put on an amiable smile. Unfortunately, he had been acting cool with a cold face for a long time. His cheek muscles had long become stiff and did not listen to his commands.

Qin Yu looked at Xu Da. After a long time, she slowly said, “The east wind blows a thousand flowers in the night as the stars fall like rain.”

Xu Da looked at Qin Yu. His eyes flashed and he slowly replied, “The fragrance of luxurious carriages fill the streets.”1

Qin Yu’s legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

“Xiao Yu!” Xu Da rushed over and picked Qin Yu up.

Qin Yu looked at the strange man in front of her and her heart finally felt at ease.

She had been searching for him to no avail all this time. Yet this person appeared where and when she hadn’t expected.

Finally, someone came looking for her.

Qin Yu told Xu Da, “I have a friend in the cave who’s seriously injured! He needs emergency care immediately!”

Right after, she passed out in Xu Da’s arms. Fear, fatigue, and hunger finally got the best of her.

At the moment when she was still conscious, Qin Yu thought to herself, ‘Mom, Dad, I made it. I survived.’
