Chapter 866 Under the Same Roof
“Don’t worry, the two children aren’t fools. They definitely won’t starve themselves. Moreover, this can be considered as a form of training.”
“Your heart is really big. The children are only four years old, yet you’re already so assured of them.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Yan Kuan’s words. Weren’t the two children being raised too freely? They were already in such a state, yet he was still not worried.
How could Yan Kuan not know where Shen Xiaoxiao’s unhappiness came from? He did not think that it was a big deal. He really had never been worried about the two children. Not to mention that Shen Guoan was holding the two children’s watches and threatening them… Even if he caught the children, he knew that his children would definitely be able to escape.
As expected, didn’t the two children run away on their own?
“How could I not know my seed? Besides, these little tribulations are beneficial to them, so don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried. How can I be at ease? Let me tell you, if anything happens to the children, I won’t let you off.”
Yan Kuan was very innocent. What did this have to do with him? Well, it had to do with him. After all, he was the children’s father.
After eating, the two of them started walking down the mountain. There was not a single person in the entire stockade who was resting tonight. They were all in the river, holding torches on the mountainside, looking for something
Because there were too many people, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan, who were wearing the clothes that they had just pulled out from the guards, were still walking among them without being recognized.
Although there were torches shining at night, it was not very clear.
At this moment, the men, women, and children of the village had all moved out, vowing to find the evil children, so no one had the leisure to stop and chat or observe what they were doing.
The two of them walked behind these people with great fanfare, then slowly walked down the mountain and entered the village.
The entire village had moved out. Even if there were people left at home to take care of the elderly and children, no one slept tonight.
The two of them looked at the ancient and backward people hidden deep in the mountains. Even the electricity was gone. It was not as if there was no shock in their hearts, especially when they were still worshipping some god or some kind of sacrifice… Their children were even known as evil children.
Outsiders were never allowed to enter this place. What kind of strange place was this? Why were they all here?
“Are we entering the village now?”
“No, it’s fine if it’s dark on the mountain. This village isn’t big and everyone knows each other. If we’re discovered after entering, we’ll alert the enemy. Let’s find a place to stay first. Didn’t they say that Ah Gen once saved the children? Let’s look for that Ah Gen tomorrow to look for them.”
“Then where are we staying tonight?”
Yan Kuan looked at the woman who was becoming more and more dependent on him. He smiled and said, “The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. That Ah Gen’s house.”
“Oh, right. Their family has been taken away. It’s no problem for us to stay at their house.”
“Where is their house?”
“Didn’t those people just say that? The one by the river.”
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan took advantage of the night to slowly walk into Ah Gen’s family’s house.
At this moment, the two children had already fallen asleep. Naturally, they did not know how noisy the outside world was. Even their parents, whom they missed dearly, were living under the same roof as them. The two children also did not know anything about it.
It was also a bamboo house with no lights. Of course, even if there were lights, they would not know how to use them.
Because they had just eaten on the mountain, the two of them patrolled the room to make sure that there was no one there before they found a room to rest.
They had been tense for the past few days and did not have a good night’s sleep. Therefore, the two of them made a simple trap at the door and lay on the bed.
As they lay down, Shen Xiaoxiao saw something that did not fit in the room. It was a nine-link chain. This was Da Bao’s toy. It was her favorite thing. The two children had really come here before.
“Look, this is Da Bao’s.”
Shen Xiaoxiao took the nine-linked chain and said to Yan Kuan in surprise. Yan Kuan naturally saw it too. At this moment, he was even more certain that the children were not in danger.
The surroundings were filled with a rustic charm. Even the furnishings in the house were primitive to the extreme. However, they were not in the mood to care about what was in the room. Instead, they were filled with confidence in finding the children.
“Little Treasure, Little Treasure.”
Da Bao rubbed his eyes to wake up Little Treasure who was sleeping. Little Treasure sat up from the bed and asked her, “What’s wrong, Da Bao? Do you want to pee?”
“No, I dreamt of our parents. I dreamt that they came to look for us. I miss them so much.”
As Da Bao spoke, tears flowed out. Little Treasure felt uncomfortable listening to it. He had just woken up again. No, he had not woken up yet. A child’s heart was not as strong as it was during the day. As a result, tears began to well up in Little Treasure’s eyes. When Da Bao saw that Little Treasure was crying, she immediately burst into tears.
This shout woke up Little Treasure in an instant. He immediately covered Da Bao’s mouth. Would this shout call the people outside over?
“Lower your voice, lower your voice. Don’t cry, don’t cry. If we call them over, we’ll be fed to the eagles.”

Hearing Little Treasure’s words, Da Bao also remembered that they weren’t at home, but she felt more and more wronged. She cried and sobbed, and the way she tried to hold herself back made his heart ache.
“Good girl, I’ll definitely promise you that we’ll go out and find our parents. Let’s just cry for one night and not cry anymore, okay?”
“Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-alright-find-Mo-M 0-Mo-“
The two children cuddled together and hid in the corner, looking miserable.
At this moment Shen Xiaoxiao also woke up from a dream. She sat up, and Yan Kuan immediately turned over to get up. What was wrong?
“What’s wrong?”
“I thought I heard Da Bao crying.”
“Is there?”
Yan Kuan’s hearing was not inferior to Shen Xiaoxiao, but how did he not hear ah?
“I definitely heard it. It’s definitely not a mistake. It’s Da Bao’s crying.”
Yan Kuan saw that Shen Xiaoxiao did not look like she was dreaming. He immediately got up and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Take a rest first. I’ll check the house again to see if there’s anything we missed. Let’s see if there’s a hidden compartment here.”
Shen Xiaoxiao could not sit still. When Yan Kuan stood up, she had already stood up. She grabbed her outer robe and put it on. She said to Yan Kuan,”You said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Your son has such a good memory. He will definitely remember your words. I think we must have missed something.”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and could only helplessly open the door. He walked around the room. The house was not big and the items were very simple. Actually, it was impossible to hide the two children. Therefore, the two of them almost thought of the same thing — an underground secret compartment.
Fortunately, there was some distance from the village. Therefore, the two of them no longer avoided anything and were no longer so cautious in their search.
