These little munchkins were too good-looking. They were strong, fair, and cute. Yu Wan had lived for two lifetimes, but she had never seen such children who made people unable to look away. She wished she could kiss their chubby little faces.

Yu Wan was not good at getting close to people. Even Little Bruiser was only holding her hand. However, in the face of a few children she was meeting for the first time, she actually wanted to kiss, hug, and raise them up. This was really unlike her.

Yu Wan shook her head. Now was not the time to sigh about this.

These children were wearing cloth clothing that did not fit them very well. The robbers must have changed their original clothes to hide their identities.

To be able to do this showed that they were an old hand. Once they found out, it would be difficult to escape.

After thinking about it, Yu Wan did not dare to stay any longer. She found a basket filled with miscellaneous items in the house. She did not know how long it had been since this basket was used. It was gray and had two holes.

However, Yu Wan could not care less about this. She first tested the sturdiness of the basket. Then, she laid the blanket into the basket and carefully placed the three children inside. Finally, she covered the children with the cotton, carried the basket, and quietly left the house.

As soon as she left, the robber came over with the food. He walked while eating. When he looked up, he saw the copper lock on the ground.

He frowned and kicked open the door. He took three steps to the bed and roughly pulled down the draperies. When he saw that the bed was empty and even the blanket was missing, he shouted, “Not good! Someone was here! The children are gone!”

The robbers hurriedly threw down their bowls and chased after her.

After Yu Wan climbed out of the house, she originally planned to run to a place with a lot of people. Who knew that she would encounter that group of robbers in a short while. These people were not the bunch who were in the house, but they had received the leader’s orders to go out and investigate.

Just like that, Yu Wan met them.

They did not know Yu Wan, nor did they know what was hidden in her basket. They did not intend to pester her.

Unexpectedly, the robbers in the house chased after them. One of them shouted angrily, “Blackie! Catch her! She snatched the children away!”

Upon hearing this, this group of robbers pounced on Yu Wan.

Yu Wan kicked a robber away. The robber bumped into the robber behind him and forcefully opened a path.

Yu Wan hurriedly rushed over!

Just as she was about to pass through this deserted alley, the wave of robbers in the residence took a detour from the other side and mercilessly blocked the exit.

This time, she could not rush over.

There were wolves in front and tigers behind.

Yu Wan took a few steps back and turned into another alley.

This group of people was very familiar with the terrain. Not only did they block all the alleys that might lead to the city, but they also lured away the patrolling officers.

Yu Wan did not come to Lotus Flower Town often. She relied on her instincts to avoid danger and shuttled through the secluded alleys. In the end, she didn’t even know where she was.

Along the deserted path, Yu Wan panted as she held onto a tree.

Her body was strong, but it could not withstand such torture. The three children were not heavy when they were separated, but when they were stacked together, they still had some weight, not to mention that she had to run so fast.

“Phew… I’m exhausted…”

Yu Wan was exhausted and her clothes were drenched, but she did not dare to stay any longer. She was worried that the robbers would catch up. She continued walking forward. About an hour later, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of her.

Yu Wan really did not have the strength to continue on her way. She decided to rest in the temple first.

She entered the dilapidated temple and was surprised to find that she was not the only one resting here. The stools in the temple were broken, and on the ground that was so messy that there was no place to stand, a man in a sky-blue cloak was sitting on a broken piece of wood.

The man was tall and his sitting posture was a little casual and bold. However, his back was straight and he slowly exuded a gentle and elegant temperament.

The light in the temple was dim.

Yu Wan could only see the outline of a face, but it was definitely an impeccable outline. It was so handsome that it was surprising.

Yu Wan could not help but take another look.

She was extremely sure that the man had heard her movements, but the other party looked calm and composed. He did not even lift his eyelids, as if he did not care that another person had barged in.

Since the other party did not say anything, Yu Wan naturally would not take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Yu Wan found an old cushion opposite the man and sat down. She carried the basket on her back in front of her and looked at the man warily. Seeing that the other party was indeed not paying attention to her, she gently lifted a corner of the blanket and looked at the children sleeping soundly inside.

“Big Brother, there’s a temple ahead!” The robber’s voice came from nearby.

Yu Wan’s expression turned cold!

“You guys, follow me!”

The footsteps came closer.

Yu Wan hurriedly walked towards the back door, only to discover that there was a lake behind it. She gritted her teeth and returned to the temple, hiding behind the Buddha statue covered in spiderwebs.

When the five robbers crossed the threshold, Yu Wan took out the sickle from her waist.

“Did you see a girl carrying a basket?” The leader of the robbers said.

“Yes,” the man said.

Yu Wan gripped the hilt of her sickle tightly.

“Where?” The lead robber asked again.

The man pointed out the door. “She went east.”

The robbers looked at the man deeply, then exchanged glances. It was unknown if the man’s aura had intimidated this group of people, but in the end, they did not choose to provoke him. They turned around and chased in the direction he pointed.

Yu Wan closed her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. She put away her sickle and walked out with the basket on her back.

“Thanks a lot,” she said.

“Can you make a fire?” The man asked.

“Yes,” Yu Wan said.

The man threw a match to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan put down the basket on her back, found some dry grass and branches, and built a small fire in front of the man. Then, she returned to her original seat and hugged the basket.

The man picked up a dead branch and fiddled with the fire. “You’ll suffocate the children if you keep covering the cloth on the basket.”

Yu Wan’s eyes suddenly flashed with vigilance!

“If you don’t mind, come over and warm yourself by the fire,” the man said calmly.

Yu Wan looked at him without blinking. Although she did not know how he could tell, he would have long betrayed her if he had any ill intentions.

With this thought in mind, Yu Wan suppressed her vigilance. She went over and sat down on the cushion with the basket and slowly lifted the blanket.

The bright flames shone over and reflected on three red faces.

Her heart softened for some reason after looking at the sleeping faces.
