Er Niu's heart skipped a beat at the sight. He couldn't figure out why this man was here at all!
'Could he be here for the mother and daughter?'
His heart tightened, but he knew that as long as the man didn't act, there was still a sliver of hope.
'Once we reach the border, I'll risk my own life to protect them while they escape.'
"Right away, sir!"
Er Niu turned back around. With a wary expression, he drove the vehicle, speeding off into the distance.
"Little girl, how old are you?"
On the carriage, the man spoke to the little girl with a smile.
"I'm five!"
The little girl hesitated for a moment before answering timidly.
"Are you here to capture me and my mother?"
The moment she said this, the young woman's face fell. She quickly pulled her daughter into her arms, her whole body trembling as she said, "She's just a child talking nonsense!"
"I'm not."
The man raised a hand to stop her, asking with a smile, "Are you being hunted?"
"No, no, we're just ordinary travelers."
