The following fireworks were in the shape of a crowned crane. Before it was ignited, the red-crowned crane looked elegant, its white feathers fluttering in the wind as if it were about to ascend to the immortal world.
After it was lit, with a melodic sizzling sound, oval-shaped eggs fell from the crane’s tail and exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air. It really looked like it was laying eggs; what a spectacular scene.
In the end, the crowned crane soared into the sky and burned brightly in the night.
Next was a fish, and finally, a rat.
When the final rat-shaped firework was released, the people were still unsatisfied. At that moment, a scream suddenly rang out. It was unknown what the scream was about, but soon there was a commotion, which finally turned into chaos.
After a while, the three discovered that someone had lost a child, and someone else shouted that they had also lost a girl.
“Let’s go back to the restaurant,” Gu Chengrui said. “I’m afraid we won’t be able to go home today.”
“Why?” Gu Chengxi asked in confusion.
“Because so many children have gone missing, the authorities will definitely lock down the town for an inspection. Or rather, they have already locked it down, so we can’t go home.” Zhou Ying said.
“Oh, then where are we going to stay? These human traffickers really deserve to die.” Gu Chengxi said it gloomily.
Therefore, they were gathered in the central room in the backyard. They laid out a few straw mats and a few blankets so the children could sleep in the room for the night.
As for Gu Chengxi, it was arranged for him to sleep with Zhao Sheng.
Soon, Gu Wen and the other two ran in, talking and laughing.
However, after waiting a long time, Li Sheng’s family of three did not appear. Zhou Ying suddenly felt a little uneasy, afraid that something would happen to Li Yue.
Fortunately, the family of three finally came back around midnight.
“What’s the matter with you guys?” Zhou Ying asked hurriedly. “Why are you back so late?”
“After the fireworks, they discovered human traffickers. The officers immediately sealed off the scene and checked everyone one by one. We were delayed when we were queuing.” Li Sheng said with a fearful expression.
He hugged Li Yue tightly after he finished speaking.
“I see; you guys should go to bed early.” Zhou Ying comforted them and told the family of three to go home.
After they left, Gu Chengrui turned his head and said, “Babe, you should go to sleep too. I’ll be fine here.”
“That’s right. Sister-in-law, you should go to sleep. Brother Gu and I will take care of things here.” Tian Jiawang walked over and said.
