Mo Jingchun shook his head and sighed without realizing it.
The two little kids really are like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, not worried about whether these people are bad.
They dared to stop the car just like that.
If they encountered bad people, theyâd regret it with no chance left.
But if you really did meet bad people, would not stopping the car mean nothing would happen?
Mo Jingchun shook his head again.
In this place, remote as it is, if they came across traffickers who attack in groups, even if they didnât stop the car, the bad people would stop the car themselves.
Itâs best not to go out at night.
Mo Jingchun still felt a bit uneasy. Seeing Xia Xiaomin and Hanna carrying two large cotton coats pass by, he turned to Zhou Yaling and said:
"You stay in the car with Guoguo, Iâll get out and take a look."
"Okay!"
As soon as Mo Jingchun got out of the car, the others started opening their doors and getting out too.
Even from the strangerâs car that had been following them, four soldiers got out.
At this point, the higher-ups had already said it was unnecessary to "hide".
The sudden appearance of so many people startled the two little kids.
The older sister was ready to pull her younger sister and run.
Just then, the younger sister grabbed her sisterâs hand, excitedly pointing to the end of the convoy and said:
"The red flag, the red flag, itâs a red flag."
The sister looked back and completely let her guard down.
Because she saw those familiar clothes.
The teacher said they are the most lovable people.
Moreover, she also saw Hanna, whom she hadnât seen for a while.
What happened afterward was simple. The two little kids really made Mo Jingchun feel tender-hearted.
The younger one seemed only about six or seven years old.
Long-term malnutrition made the two children look very thin and weak.
Even with those layers of clothes and cotton coats.
After realizing that Hanna knew the two kids, Mo Jingchun didnât hesitate anymore.
"Letâs take them along, we shall continue on our way."
"Letâs try to reach the destination before nine oâclock."
Once we reach the place, we need to set up camp.
In that aspect, Mo Jingchun wasnât worried at all.
After all, besides him, Guoguo, and Zhou Yaling, everyone else was a professional.
The two kids were naturally settled to sit with Hanna.
Lone Wolf reluctantly squeezed into the car in front.
The convoy resumed its journey.
Mo Jingchun just closed his eyes for a bit, and they had reached their destination!
"Boss, the camp is already set up."
Xia Xiaomin said with a smile, "We can still have a hot meal."
Mo Jingchun was surprised when he checked his phone, it was already ten oâclock.
"Why didnât you wake me up?"
"You looked too tired, so I didnât call you."
Xia Xiaomin thought to herself, calling him would mean making the boss work too.
The key was, the boss doesnât even know those skills.
"Whereâs Guoguo?"
"Over there, already eating."
Mo Jingchun followed Xia Xiaomin to the campfire and patted Guoguo, who was making faces at him.
Suddenly, Mo Jingchun noticed something additionalâa point.
It was those two kids!
Mo Jingchun looked around, right, where are those two kids?
"Where are those two children?"
Xia Xiaomin brought a bowl of rice over and said helplessly:
"They already went back."
"Couldnât stop them."
"Hanna sent them back."
During dinner, Feiyan hesitated to speak several times.
But thinking about those two well-mannered yet unguided little girls, Feiyan, holding her bowl, crouched down next to Mo Jingchun.
"Boss, those two little girls are quite pitiful."
As soon as Feiyan spoke, the entire camp became silent, only the campfire crackled.
Mo Jingchun swallowed a mouthful of rice and said:
"Tell me the specifics."
"Hanna said, those two children are orphans..." Feiyanâs expression was conflicted for a moment, then she corrected herself:
"Not quite orphans, after their father died of illness, their mother abandoned the two sisters and ran away."
"Hanna said, she hasnât seen those sistersâ mother for four or five years."
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow; this doesnât make sense.
Those two little girls, the older one should only be about eleven or twelve years old.
Four or five years ago, she wouldâve been six or seven.
Could a six or seven-year-old sister support a possibly one or two-year-old younger sister?
Having raised Guoguo himself, wouldnât he know the difficulties of bringing up a child?
Moreover, his conditions are far better.
"These years, they have relied on their uncle to get by."
So thatâs it, Mo Jingchunâs brow relaxed.
"Whereâs Hanna?"
With her mouth full, Xia Xiaomin replied, "She also went home. Sheâll come back first thing in the morning."
Mo Jingchun knocked on his bowl with chopsticks and said helplessly, "Everyone, eat. Why are you all looking at me?"
"To visit those two little girlsâ home, we have to wait for tomorrow."
"With Hanna not here, and with hundreds of households in the village, who knows which is their home."
The temperature outside the tent grew colder and a layer of frost formed on the grass.
Inside the tent, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold.
Perhaps because they were too far from home, the little one stubbornly refused to sleep with Zhou Yaling and insisted on clinging to him.
Now Mo Jingchun knew.
The little one simply wanted to play on the phone.
Candy raised the phone, scratched her head, full of confusion.
In the next second, Candy tapped the phone again.
"Brother, do you think the phoneâs brokenïœ"
"Why canât I open the game?"
Mo Jingchun took the phone and saw that it was still displaying âloading...â
The phone was fine; the mobile signal wasnât good here.
Calling was okay, but surfing the net was tricky.
The network speed only showed a few K. Could this be used for online games?
"The phone isnât broken; the network signal is bad here."
"Go to sleep, itâs already late."
Candy tried the phone again; seeing it was still the same, she reluctantly put the phone down and snuggled into the blanket.
Outside, Zhang Yuanqi, who was on night watch, overheard the boss and Candyâs conversation in the stillness of the night. He silently walked to the vehicle and turned on the modified car signal station.
In less than thirty seconds, the signal was full.
Half-asleep, Mo Jingchun heard the commotion and slowly opened his eyes.
"Zero..."
"Boss, what do you need me for?"
"Nothing."
Zero: ???
Is this what love is?
Mo Jingchun was a bit confused earlier, thinking he was at the villa, wanting to ask what was happening outside.
After getting dressed, tucking the little one in, and cleaning out the corner of his eye, Mo Jingchun went out.
"Boss, good morning."
......
"Good morning," Mo Jingchun yawned.
"Hanna, youâre here so early."
Zhou Yaling, carrying a bucket of water and placing it in front of Mo Jingchun, rolled her eyes.
"Itâs already past nine."
"Sister Hanna came as soon as dawn broke, itâs been nearly three hours."
Oh, is that so?
Mo Jingchun gave an awkward smile.
So, he was the one who got up the latest.
Well, maybe not, thereâs still someone bundled up in the covers.
