Although they hadn't seen those techniques the boy used, they all knew one thing; it must be martial arts they hadn't touched or seen before!

How could a commoner dare to provoke someone who knew martial arts?

While the villagers were discussing, An Cai was still kneeling on the ground unable to move, and also silent, looking in the direction that Axiu had left, his eyes grim and cold.

As the village head, he was highly respected in the village, but he was actually forced to kneel in full view of everyone! He would remember this humiliation for the rest of his life!

He would never let those people go – definitely not!

Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin followed Axiu, and before the group reached the village entrance, they bumped into the village chief who had just arrived as well as Grandma Liu and the others.

As soon as Grandma Liu saw Axiu, she rushed forward and grabbed his arm tightly, so excited that she spoke incoherently, "Axiu, Axiu, what you said is true, right? Nannan is still alive. She's really not dead. She's still alive, right?"

Axiu's empty eyes moved and lifted slightly to look at her.

She was dishevelled and weary, and her eyes were bloodshot, but that demented frenzy earlier had faded, and her eyes were filled with anticipation and fear.

She was looking at him steadily, hoping that he would give a positive answer.

This old woman truly loved Shengsheng.

"I'll bring Shengsheng back, grandma."

Grandma Liu fixedly looked at him for a moment, her eyes slowly gathering teary light, then, tears poured down her face. She bawled and cried her heart out.

Wild with joy from recovering what has been lost.

Chen Xiulan staggered to her side. She half embraced her, buried her head in her shoulders, her shoulders trembling from sobbing and suppressing her tears.

If something had happened to Nannan, she was the most pained. She was her heart and soul that she had given birth to!

"Mother, Axiu said that he will bring Nannan back. He definitely will. Nannan will definitely come back! Axiu won't lie to us. Let's follow him. We'll go together and find Nannan!"

When they were in despair, this was a heart-rending cry of hope. The people around felt the same, and all of them were red-eyed.

Axiu turned to Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin, "You guys take people to search the mountain. Split up and search, no need to follow me."

After saying that, he sped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu Dalin snapped back to his senses and quickly addressed everyone, "That's right! Let's search the mountains! After Laizi and Ande kidnapped her, they definitely won't dare to go back to the village. They must have hidden with Nannan, but with one person with them, they probably hadn't gone too far. Then they must be hiding in the hills around here. Let's find them in groups! Spread out and search every hill! Thank you all for your hard work. I, Liu Dalin, will never forget your kindness and will definitely repay you all in the future!"

The villagers reprimanded him, "Liu Dalin, what are you talking about? We've been watching Nannan grow up and she's like a daughter to us! Do you think you're the only one worried about Nannan? If you ever say anything like that again, don't blame us for ignoring you! Okay, stop talking much. Hurry up, let's split up and go up the mountain."

"Luofu Mountain, and the few mountains around the Xiapo Village. We must search all of them. Saving her is the most important, hurry up!"

Before Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin departed, they looked at Grandma Liu, who looked strong enough and insisted on following them up the mountain to search, along with Chen Xiulan and Du Juan. "You're too slow, so don't go with us. Go to the entrance of our village and wait there. If Dad comes back, tell him to bring the people with him up the mountain, then go home. Boil some water and cook. Once we find Nannan, we'll bring her home right away! She must be very tired and very hungry by then. She would be very dirty too. You have to prepare food for her. Nannan loves being clean, and she takes a bath whenever she's dirty. The water should be ready… I can't say more. We're losing time, so hurry back."

Knowing that if she forcefully followed, she would definitely slow down the progress of everyone's search. Grandma Liu didn't insist again. She trusted Axiu and his judgment that Nannan was alive. That alone calmed her down emotionally.

Regaining some of her usual direct and efficient nature, Grandma Liu wiped away her tears "Go quickly. I'll be waiting at the village entrance with Xiulan and Du Juan. You don't have to worry about things at home. Hurry up and go. Nannan is waiting for you to pick her up and take her home!"

On the other end, Liu Zhiqiu waited at the entrance of the village for some time, but still hadn't seen Grandpa Liu's return. Fearing a delay, he went downstream along the Qinghe River to look for him.

After walking for several miles, he met Grandpa Liu, who was just about to return, and shouted, "Grandpa! Go back! Go back! Nannan's not dead! Nannan has been taken by bad guys! Grandpa, quickly bring some people to save her!"

Grandpa Liu, who has been in a trance, immediately brightened at the news. He charged up and grabbed Liu Zhiqiu's arm, his lips trembling. "What did you just say? You said Nannan isn't dead? Our Nannan is still alive? Is it true? Is it true what you're saying? You're not lying to me, right?"

Liu Zhiqiu nodded desperately, "Really! It's true Grandpa! Axiu went to check it out, and he found traces of the bad guys who took our Nannan! And, across the river, on the bank of a field next to Xiapo Village, we found the snack that Nannan had brought with her last night! Grandpa, Nannan really isn't dead. She's been caught on the other side of the river and hidden by the bad guys, so hurry up and save her, Grandpa!"

"Okay, I'll go right now. I'll go right now! Nannan, my sweet Nannan… wait for me, I'll be there to save you soon!"

After hearing the news, the villagers who followed behind Grandpa Liu were equally happy. "Brother Liu, let's hurry and go. Don't waste time, saving people is like putting out a fire. The sooner we get Nannan back, the safer she'll be!"

"Okay, okay! We're going. We're going now! Faster everyone. I'll remember this favor. Thank you on behalf of Nannan. I will repay your great kindness in the future!"

When Liu Yusheng woke up, it was pitch black before her eyes.

She was blindfolded with a cloth, and even her hands and feet were tied with ropes.

Such a tight security for a small baby – the people who took her were pretty cautious.

When she woke up, she didn't move right away, still lying quietly, as if she was unconscious.

"Why isn't she awake yet? Laizi, did you really not hit her hard?" Not far away from her, a low voice sounded.

Another impatient voice answered, "How many times have I told you? I really didn't hit her hard! At that time, I was afraid that we'd be discovered if she struggled, so I knocked her out. Think about it. This is our future god of wealth. Would I accidentally kill her?"

"Then why isn't she waking up? It's been all night! The longer we wait, the greater the risk! Damn it!"
