The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 92 - 89: Two Little Treasures

Ruo Xuan rounded a corner and caught up with the thief, casting a malicious Little Fairy Technique upon him. The thief, under its influence, ran straight towards a government officer, but suddenly his left foot tripped over his right, and he sprawled out on the stone-paved road, right in front of the officer.

With a clatter, several money pouches fell out from his sleeves and chest!

Half a money pouch was still hanging from his chest.

Government Officer: "..."

Was this thief inadvertently falling into his own trap?

The thief’s face turned ashen with fear as he frantically scrambled to gather the money pouches that had fallen to the ground.

The government officer grabbed him by the collar, "Quite the little thief you are, to have stolen so many pouches!"

The thief felt incredibly unlucky, "Please spare me, good sir, these pouches weren’t stolen, I swear I didn’t steal them!"

His intention wasn’t to steal the pouches; he merely wanted to distract the adults with children so that his accomplices could more easily abduct those kids.

All his partners had succeeded, and he had found himself surprisingly good at thievery, having stolen from so many without detection, only to be forced to expose himself.

Unfortunately, the first time he deliberately exposed himself stealing money pouches, he was so unlucky as to trip over his own feet, delivering himself straight to the government officer!

Government Officer snorted, "If it wasn’t deliberate, did someone force you?"

By this time, Ruo Xuan had run over, snatched Granny Lei’s purse from the ground, and said to the government officer, "This is the thief! He just stole my grandmother’s purse! All these pouches were stolen by him, and he specifically targets people with children! Officer Uncle, you must arrest him and send him for a good interrogation by the Lord County Magistrate!"

Specifically stealing from adults with children?

On hearing this, the government officer realized that this was no ordinary thief.

This could very well be a child trafficker!

He was patrolling the street today because recently kidnappers had become rampant.

The thief was alarmed. Was this girl a deity? How did she know he only stole from people with children? He frantically waved his hands and shook his head in denial, "It’s not true, I didn’t do it, don’t talk nonsense; I steal from everyone, not just from people with children!"

Being locked up for petty theft might lead to a few days or weeks in jail, but child trafficking was a capital offense, punishable by death in severe cases!

"Regardless of whom you’ve stolen from, stealing is stealing. You can explain yourself to the Lord County Magistrate!" said the government officer, hauling the thief away.

After a few steps, he turned his head, wanting to ask where Ruo Xuan’s family was so he could escort her home. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Then he saw Ruo Xuan dash like the wind into an alley, a remarkably handsome young boy following close behind and even holding her hand.

The government officer assumed that Ruo Xuan had found her family and didn’t interfere further.

Ruo Xuan had sensed an evil presence and caught a whiff of the scent from the Lord County Magistrate, so she couldn’t help but run over there.

As soon as Ruo Xuan ran into the alley, she was grabbed by Xuanyuan Que.

Ruo Xuan asked in surprise, "Brother Xuanyuan, did you also come to the city?"

Xuanyuan Que gave her a cold glance, "What are you up to?"

No matter how much she was cautioned, this flower would always do the opposite.

He was here in the city searching for Yan Heng; luckily, he saw her, otherwise his own plan would have been disrupted.

"There’s something odd in the alley. I want to see if that person is in there."

"Who’s out there?" At that moment, a plump and round woman emerged from the yard gate not far away. Seeing only two children, the wariness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a glint of cunning.

Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que looked over.

The woman was stunned by Xuanyuan Que and Ruo Xuan’s stunning looks!

Examining the fabric of their clothes, she instantly knew they were children from rich families!

Perfect, because that’s precisely what the man wanted, wealthy children.

She approached with a smile and pulled two candies from her bosom, "Little girl, little master, have you lost your parents? Auntie will take you to find them, shall we? There’s a carriage at my house; would you like Auntie to take you back in the carriage?"

Ruo Xuan glanced at the candy in her hand but did not take it; instead, she looked towards Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que gave the woman a cold look and coolly nodded his head.

The woman was delighted, not expecting the children to be so easily deceived, "Then Auntie will take you to your family in a carriage right now."

She reached out to grab the two children, but they both simultaneously dodged her hand, placing their own hands behind their backs.

She smiled, seeing they were not entirely without their guard, "If you want Auntie to help you find your parents, then follow Auntie! If you don’t want to, then go back to the street and find them on your own!"

After saying this, she walked ahead pretending not to care, sure that two children so young, having found someone willing to help, would follow her.

And sure enough!

Xuanyuan Que pulled Xuanbao along to follow the woman.

Xuanyuan Que used a spell to transmit a message to Ruo Xuan, "Later, don’t call me Brother Xuanyuan, just call me ’Brother,’ understand?"

Ruo Xuan was always obedient and nodded her head dutifully.

Worried about her grandmother being concerned about her disappearance, Ruo Xuan replied, "Brother Xuanyuan, if we go with this woman, my grandmother will worry."

Xuanyuan Que gave her a light glance; so she was aware that running off on her own would make her family worried?

"Don’t worry, I’ve already told old Shopkeeper Gu to say that my uncle took you and me to the military camp to play."

Ruo Xuan was then completely at ease!

The woman turned her head back and saw that the two children, holding hands, were obediently and quietly following. She couldn’t help but smile.

She knew it!

No matter how calm these children appeared on the surface, they must be panicking inside.

Being kind enough to help them find their parents, they were sure to follow.

Children are the easiest to deceive!

The woman walked into the courtyard and, turning back to Ruo Xuan and the others, invited them with a smile, "Come on in!"

Xuanyuan Que, holding Ruo Xuan’s little hand, walked inside.

The courtyard was empty, not a blade of grass in sight; it was clear it wasn’t a place for living.

After the two of them walked in, the woman closed the door.

Now, she was not afraid of them running away!

But children can easily cause a fuss, so, worried about any potential trouble, she tossed a handful of powder at them.

Ruo Xuan was about to blow the powder away when she heard Xuanyuan Que remind her, "Pretend to faint."

Then the two of them pretended to go limp and collapsed to the ground.

The woman curved her lips into a smile and shouted into the house, "Boss Hei, come quickly, I have two exquisite kids!"

A man of average height, with a robust figure and a face covered with a beard, came out.

Hei Biao, seeing the two delicate children on the ground who looked like Fairy Children, glanced at the woman appreciatively, "These children are nice; the top will definitely like them."

The woman giggled, "They got lost on their own, delivered right to our doorstep!"

Worried someone might come looking for them, Hei Biao hastily said, "Then let’s quickly put them in the carriage. With these two, we have enough; let’s go!"

Hei Biao scooped up Xuanyuan Que directly.

The woman immediately followed by picking up Xuanbao. Xuanbao was a bit heavy, and she muttered, "Such a plump little girl, she clearly comes from a well-off family!"

Ruo Xuan: "..."
