Looking at the small baggage on the table, Xiao Mu tried to remember how they had changed places with his cousin and sister on the way to escape, and what things he had to prepare.

Clothes, dry food, water, and silver taels, otherwise he will become a beggar, and he will not be a beggar.

Xiao Mu thought about it, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was the one that Li Heng gave him before.

That person will not be able to send him silver until tomorrow, although the people of the Li family may not have time to find an official messenger to arrest him today, but will he have to wait until tomorrow?

Xiao Mu didn't think about how he would spend a child under the age of five even if he took a hundred taels of silver in his hand, and it was not safe outside, his behavior was imitated, imitated from the people he had come into contact with before.

Xiao Mu thought about his cousin and sister's behavior of selling jewelry at that time, and felt that silver was a necessary thing to escape. He originally had a pendant on his body, but he used it for other purposes for his cousin, because if he put it on him, it would also be taken away by the people of the Li family, so it would be better to avenge his cousin. So there was nothing else on him that could be exchanged for silver. It seems that he will have to stay at the Li family for one more day.

So Xiao Mu, who had thought about it clearly, took the burden apart again, put the wrapper, clothes and dry food back in their place one by one, and then went back to bed.

On this day, the whole alley was lively until the middle of the night, until finally Li Erjiang sprinkled enough of the pretty daughter-in-law's house. The daughter-in-law's little peugeot face was dragged back by the wife, who looked like a pig's head. After returning, the husband and wife had another big quarrel in the yard, and the dogs around them barked all night.

Li Guoer and Xiao Mu were sleeping in the house.

Early the next morning. Li Er was stopped when he was about to go out.

Li Erjia said loudly: "Where are you going?

Li Er turned around and kicked over the table, scolding: "Grass! Lao Tzu is going to work! Lao Tzu is not working, you girl is waiting at home to drink the northwest wind!"

Li Er works as a partner in a timber shop on Guangongmiao East Street on weekdays, and he also secretly uses the leftover wood in the store to make some small stools and small wooden knickknacks to sell.

Li Erjia pursed his lips, and then let Li Er go, and deliberately followed him out of the courtyard gate to see that he was indeed out of the alley. When I went back, I spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in front of the house diagonally opposite the door.

Xiao Mutou listened to the conversation between the husband and wife, and was relieved to know that Li Er did not have time to find the official he knew during the day today.

But I didn't expect that in the afternoon, Li Er came back much earlier than usual, and arrived home before Shen Shi.

Li Er threw the half-catty braised pig ears and sauced pork lungs he had just bought at the mouth of the alley to his daughter-in-law: "Add two more dishes tonight, and then go get two catties of wine and come back." ”

Li Erjia was unhappy: "I just finished eating meat yesterday and beat two catties of wine." Why are you buying meat and wine today? Where is the money enough for you to waste?"

"If you want to go, you can go!" Li Er glanced at the little wood sitting by the well and choosing vegetables. "Yang Lao Liu will come over for dinner, and I will have two drinks with him. Lao Tzu earns his own money, drink a few glasses of wine, you talk so much nonsense?

Li Erjia thought about the ten taels of dowry silver he had hidden in private, and stopped talking.

And she just had a big fight with Li Er yesterday. This family also depends on men. She didn't want to fight again today. took the things in Li's second-hand and turned around and entered the stove room.

Li Er glanced at Xiao Mu again before entering the house.

Xiao Mu had a cold sweat on his palm, and he soaked his trembling hands in the cold water. I was stunned for a while, and then I took the basket of washed cabbage and entered the stove room.

Li Erjia was cleaning up the pig's ears in front of the cutting board, and when he saw him coming in, he casually ordered: "Go to Aunt Ma's wine shop to get two catties of wine and come back." ”

Saying that, Li Erjia wiped his hand casually on the dry cloth that wiped the table, counted out sixteen coins from his purse and handed it to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu didn't answer: "Aunt Ma said that the wine had risen by one penny, and I owed her two pennies when I drank yesterday." ”

Li Erjia frowned when he heard this, and finally counted four more coins and handed them to Xiao Mu together, while still muttering: "If I find out that you lied to me, give me a watch for the skin on your body." "Although that's the case, the arrival of the Li Erjia family doesn't really think that Xiao Mu will be greedy for her money, and some people don't look like they do this kind of thing by nature.

Xiao Mu took the copper coin, and seeing that Li Er's family had turned around to cut the pig's ears again, he hesitated when he took the wine jug, but he still quickly took four leftover corn tortillas from the cupboard.

After coming out of the stove room, Xiao Mu did not go to drink, but went back to the house, packed his clothes and dry food as he had done yesterday, and then sneaked out of the yard with his baggage. Fortunately, Li Guoer followed the neighbor's osmanthus today to play shuttlecock kicking in the alley next door and has not come back yet, so that Xiao Mu has a tail missing.

After coming out of Li's house, Xiao Mu went to the place where he had made an appointment with Li Heng yesterday, and it was almost time for Shen to be agreed yesterday, Xiao Mu decided to wait, and wait until the shadow of the sun passed the wall, and if the person didn't come at that time, he would have to leave.

Xiao Mu was also a little confused when he hid in the corner with his baggage, he didn't know where he could go after leaving here, if the person who gave him the jade pendant didn't come today, he would only have the twenty yuan that Li Guo'er Niang had just given him for drinking.

He wanted to go to his cousin, but his cousin said that he wanted to avenge his mother and sister and couldn't take him with him, and he didn't know where his cousin was now. He also wanted revenge, but before that he could grow up.

He can't be caught by the officials, and if he dies, he won't be able to take revenge.

Time flies, Xiao Mu stared at the shadow on the ground in a daze, I don't know how long it took for him to look up and see a man in official clothes walking towards this side, Xiao Mu's face turned pale, and he immediately stood up and turned his head and ran. In the past, when they followed their sister and cousin to hide in Tibet, they just hid far away when they saw the official errand, and at the beginning, grandpa, uncle and father were taken away by people wearing similar clothes, and they were taken away and never came back.

Xiao Mutou had a fear in his heart for the people in official uniforms, so he decided to flee when he heard that Li Er was going to find an official in the yamen.

Yang Lao Liu didn't care when he saw a child running away from a distance, it was normal for the children in the alley to run around, he didn't expect such a young child to avoid him.

Xiao Mu ran desperately with his burden, and he didn't dare to go back, the alley in this area is very large, there are many forks in the road, Xiao Mu didn't know where he was after running for a while, but fortunately, he and his sister learned to look at the sun in the sky to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and he knew that as long as he kept running in one direction, he could always run out of the alley.

Xiao Mu didn't know how long he had been running, and finally realized that he was about to run out of this alley, and when he saw that there was no one chasing him behind him, he wanted to stop and rest first, thinking about where he would run after leaving the alley for a while.

Suddenly, Xiao Mu's gaze froze, he blinked and rubbed his eyes, and found in disbelief that it was not he who was dazzled, but a familiar little pig was indeed drawn on the wall at the mouth of the alley in front of him.

Xiao Mu immediately ran over, ran close and accidentally fell, but he didn't feel any pain at all, and immediately got up and touched the little pig on the wall with his hand, and couldn't help but quickly reddened his eyes: "Sister...... Have you come to find Jayge?"

Xiao Mu looked around, called out to his sister a few times, but didn't see the person he missed coming out, and couldn't help but finally sit on the ground like a four-year-old child and cry, he thought that if his sister was there, he would come out when he saw him crying.

Xiao Mu didn't want to run anymore, he was going to wait for his sister here.

......

Yang Lao Liu found Li Er's house and was warmly welcomed in by Li Er.

Li Er's family came out of the stove room, and saw that Yang Lao Liu came empty-handed and didn't bring anything, so he couldn't help but be a little unhappy, so he smiled and said: "Yo, the sixth brother is here?" I often hear the head of my family say that when you were in the army together, you were as good as brothers wearing the same pants, but in the past few years, my sister-in-law has not seen you come to the door, but don't be a big official in the yamen and look down on us flat-headed people?"

Yang Lao Liu said with a haha: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, where am I an official? ”

Li Er said to his daughter-in-law unhappily: "Where is there so much nonsense in the women's Taoist family! Go cook rice! Put the cold dishes on the table first, and my brother and I will have a few drinks." ”

Saying that, Li Er took Yang Lao Liu to the East House.

Li Erjia pursed his lips, but still went into the stove room, and packed the cut pig ears, pig lungs, and a plate of salted peanuts and rice on plates and sent them to the West House.

Yang Lao Liu was sitting on the kang and said, "I went to inquire about the thing you told me today, and I really found out a little clue." By the way, what about that kid of yours? Call me and ask him a few words. ”

Li Er said to the mother-in-law who was setting the dishes: "Where's the little wood, let him come over." ”

Li Erjia was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered: "I said that I just felt that I forgot something, I asked Xiao Mu to go to drink, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Li Er couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Didn't you say don't let him go out? It's just a matter of a few steps away from drinking, can't you just go by yourself, do you have to call him?"

Li Erjia defended: "It's just that he asked him to run errands just because he was near, I was cooking in the stove room, where was the time......

Li Er interrupted impatiently: "Okay, how long have you been there?"

Li Erjia thought for a while: "If you don't say it, it will take half an hour, it won't be where to play, right?"

Li Er frowned and thought about it, and immediately got up and walked out: "I'll go over and look for it." ”

Yang Lao Liu couldn't stay with a woman, so he also got up and followed: "Second brother, I'll go with you to have a look." ”
