Chapter 300: Rescuing Dad and Mom (4)_1
At midnight, Mu Zhongqing was awakened by a low growl of wild beasts. He rubbed his eyes, and suddenly a heartbreaking scream came from outside. Lady Du was also awakened, and the children woke up one after another. The screams from outside became louder and louder, and everyone was very nervous, thinking that a wild beast had come to eat humans. They all huddled in the carriage, silent, fearing it might attract the beasts.
The noise outside gradually subsided, and everything returned to silence, but they still didn’t dare to look or leave the carriage.
It was broad daylight, the sun was already high in the sky, and there was no sound outside.
Mu Zhongqing plucked up some courage and secretly pulled up the carriage curtain, only to see that there was no one outside. The Taoist priests who had kidnapped them, their carriages, everything was gone, only the horse pulling their carriage was tied to a tree, leisurely gnawing tree bark!
Overjoyed, Mu Zhongqing jumped down from the carriage and looked around, indeed no one was there. He then untied the horse from the tree, harnessed it to the carriage, and drove straight for the official road.
The whole family had a narrow escape, and they were all overjoyed. More surprisingly, as they reached the official road, they actually ran into their eldest daughter, Cai Wei.
Cai Wei had hired a horse carriage. She said that Auntie Liu back at home had injured her back and couldn’t move for a while, so she left Chun Liu to take care of her. Her master had some business to handle, so he didn’t come along with her.
As Cai Wei was worried about them, after handling the transfer of the Nursing Home and the restaurant, she hired a carriage and rushed over as fast as possible.
Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were over the moon to see their daughter. When Cai Wei asked about Zhang Bo’s family, they lightly narrated their kidnapping ordeal. Cai Wei cursed those damn bandits and began to rejoice in their narrow escape from death.
Cai Wei also said, "As the saying goes, those who survive great danger are destined for good fortune. Our family has overcome such an ordeal, and I’m sure there will be great fortune waiting for us in the future!"
Lady Du also agreed repeatedly. After the family reunion, they all sat together in the same carriage. They sent back the carriage Cai Wei had hired, and with Mu Zhongqing driving, they cheerfully headed towards the city!
