Cha Xiaodao hugged her shoulders and sized up the boy in front of her, called Cao Yongchang.
He was dressed in a well-tailored cotton shirt, thick with padding, and had a blue cloth headband with a swastika pattern. Kidnapped by two people of unknown origin, he remained calm and composed, although his occasionally clenched fists betrayed that he wasn't as tranquil inside.
"So, you want me to..."
Cha Xiaodao pointed to herself, and then to the child perched on horseback.
Li Yan nodded.
Cha Xiaodao spoke softly to Li Yan, "Having a road permit should make it not too different, but traveling with such a child will delay us at least ten days to half a month. Do we also have to take him to Dragon Tiger Mountain? Besides, isn't it more troublesome if such a young child slips up and says something?"
