Ding Zhutou rubbed her head familiarly: "Stinky girl, forget about thanks, don't lie to me again in the future!" ”

Ling'er was stunned, and suddenly remembered that a series of things such as the name, life experience, home address, etc., that he had told Ding Zhutou before, were all made up, and even the gender was fake.

Ling'er said embarrassedly: "Uncle Ding, that... I... I didn't mean to, I ......"

"Alright, let's go back and talk about it! Where is your home? ”

"Huh? We... Can you go home? Ling'er saw that the people were divided into several columns by the officers and soldiers, and went to the front tables to report their names, addresses, family and relatives, etc., and the gentleman behind the table checked it, and if there was no problem, he could go home!

Ding Zhutou said: "I have already told Captain Wu, you can go home!" Chengzi, Shishi, come here, help help the uncle and aunt! Stinky girl, lead the way! ”

Ling'er thanked him and led the three of them back home. They entered through the back door, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a person lying on the ground, which frightened Ling'er to take a few steps back, and Ding Zhutou pulled out a knife with a bang: "Who is it?" ”

The man looked up, and Ling'er immediately recognized it as Da Qiang, "Uncle Ding, stop it, this is my big brother!" Brother Daqiang, why are you up? Ling'er stepped forward a few steps forward to help Daqiang, who was messy all over his body.

Daqiang was overjoyed when he saw everyone: "Dad! Mother! Ling'er, Tenth Sister, Ning Ba, you're all back! Are you alright? ”

"Brother Daqiang, don't worry, with Uncle Ding helping us, it's okay!"

Da Qiang raised his head, and when he saw Ding Zhutou's clothes, his face instantly became a little pale, and his body couldn't help shrinking, Ding Zhutou also frowned slightly, and looked at Da Qiang thoughtfully: "Stinky girl." This kid is ......"

"Oh! This is my big brother! Uncle Ding, come in! Ling'er led them into the yard, Ding Cheng and Ding Shi settled their father, and carried Daqiang back to the house, Ling'er also followed, and thanked Ding Cheng and Ding Shi: "Two uncles, thank you very much." Let's go to the hospital to rest and rest! ”

The two nodded and went out. Ling'er said: "Daqiang, why did you run into the yard?" Didn't you say that it was better to wait at home? ”

"I see that you have been gone for a long time and have not returned, I am afraid that something will happen to you. I just want to go out and check it out! Ling'er, why did you come to the house quickly? They're not here to get us, are they? ”

"Of course not, on the contrary, they are here to save us! You should have seen the big guy in the lead, right? He is the head catcher of our Cangping County Ya, surnamed Ding. It's the eldest young master of Dingfu in the north of the city, and it was thanks to him that we were able to get out of the city smoothly last time! ”

Daqiang did not answer. The fear in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest! Ling'er thought for a while: "Daqiang, why are you so afraid of catching fast?" ”

"I... I don't! Daqiang's words were obviously lacking in confidence, and Ling'er's mind turned around, could it be that Daqiang had done something illegal when they begged for money before. Or are you afraid that the government will take the Jia family's money to arrest them? This problem is not big, when he is free, he will enlighten and enlighten him, and now Ding Zhutou is still outside. People helped, you can't hang people!

Thereupon. Ling'er stood up: "Daqiang, you have a good rest, I'll go and greet Uncle Ding and them first, and the others will talk when they're free!" ”

"Wait!" Daqiang sat up suddenly.

Ling'er turned around: "What's the matter, Daqiang?" ”

"No... No! I... I mean......" Daqiang stammered for a long time and didn't make it clear, Ling'er helped him lie down and comforted: "Don't worry, Ding Zhutou is a good person, he has helped me a few times, he won't catch us, you can rest first!" ”

Ling'er came out of Daqiang's house, and saw that the three of them were sitting around the stone table in the courtyard, the old lady was mixing tea for the three of them, and the kitchen was also lit up, and Ning Ba and Shi Mei were watching the fire in front of the stove.

Ling'er went over: "Mother, why are you up?" I'll come, you go and rest! ”

The old lady's spirit is much better, but her face is still a little pale, and her feet are a little vain! The old lady sighed and said: "Alas, Ling'er, thanks to the help of these officials today, otherwise our family will be finished!" We must thank the official! ”

"I know! Mother, or... You go to the kitchen to cook a few poached eggs, and I'll accompany Uncle Ding? ”

The old lady nodded: "It's okay!" Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has gone down! ”

Ling'er took the teapot and sat on the remaining stone bench, "Uncle Ding, you check!" ”

Ding Zhutou looked at the back of the old lady: "Stinky girl, you are not your father's own child, right?" ”

Ling'er said calmly: "Yes, I picked it up from the river when my mother was washing clothes!" ”

"No wonder! Your father and mother are so honest, how could they give birth to such a clever girl! Ling'er laughed dryly, wanting to find a new topic, but suddenly Ding Zhutou said: "The other children were also picked up by your father?" ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, yes!" Don't hide it from Uncle Ding, the three of them are the children of relatives in my father's hometown, I heard that there was a famine in my hometown, and many people died, and several of them came to Cangping County to join my father, and they only arrived a few days ago! My father and mother said that since their family is gone, they will be our children in the future, so we are all brothers and sisters now! ”

"Oh? Is it? Ding Zhutou smiled noncommittally, Ling'er always felt that there seemed to be something in his smile? She couldn't guess what Ding Zhutou meant for a while, so she had to smile in agreement.

"Qi Liu...... Do you know each other? ”

Ling'er chuckled in her heart, and stood up with a hula: "Uncle Ding, you... Have you seen Qi Liu? Where is he? ”

Ding Zhutou held the teacup and looked at Ling'er with a light smile: "Do you know?" ”

Ling'er immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, I know!" Uncle Ding, where is Qi Liu? ”

Ling'er nervously grabbed Ding Zhutou's sleeve, Ding Zhutou patted her and said, "Don't worry, he's safe now, sit down!" ”

Ling'er noticed her gaffe and sat back on the stool: "Uncle Ding, you... How did you meet Qi Liu? ”

Ding Zhutou smiled: "I picked it up on the way back from the case!" Stinky girl, you got into a lot of trouble and ran away by yourself, but you didn't know that the city was now a mess! ”

Ling'er's face changed: "Uncle Ding, are the Jia family still looking for us?" ”

"Of course, you hurt the eldest young master of the Jia family like that, how could they give up?"

Ling'er said aggrievedly: "We didn't mean it, it was that dead boy who bullied people and beat Da Qiang to death, if he didn't resist, Da Qiang would definitely not survive!" ”

Ling'er paused, and raised her eyes to look at Ding Zhutou: "Uncle Ding, you won't... Catch us, right? ”

Ding Zhutou laughed: "If I want to arrest you, I won't help you!" ”

"Don't you know about us?" Ling'er muttered quietly.

Ding Zhutou knocked on the door of Ling'er's head: "Stinky girl, who do you think I am?" ”

Ding Cheng next to him said: "Girl, our eldest young master has already sent someone to check your life experience!" Also, the head of the criminal education has already reported the incident of the previous few days to our eldest young master one by one, and now your little brother Qi Liu is with the head of the criminal education! ”

Ling'er looked at them in surprise: "Punishment... Torture head? You mean Uncle Torture, he... Isn't he a coachman? ”

"Oh, girl, it's your blessing to let Xingyi be a coachman for you! He is the head of our Ding Mansion's hundreds of nursing homes, and his kung fu is very good! If it weren't for the absence of the coachman on duty that day, Old Man Shen would not have pulled him to replace him temporarily! ”

I see! Ling'er was embarrassed and asked the head of the Ding Mansion to be a coachman for herself! No wonder Kung Fu is so good! By the way, the Jia family is still looking for us everywhere! Ling'er peeked at Ding Zhutou and asked tentatively, "Uncle Ding, that... Jia's family... Did you go to the government...... That ......"

Ding Zhutou glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "You girl has a lot of eyes!" Indeed, the Jia family came to the county government to report the case, saying that a few little people had seriously injured their eldest young master, and they wanted our government to deal with it strictly! ”

"Huh? That... That ......"

"Humph! Didn't the Jia family claim to be the richest man in Cangping? Let him give our brothers more filial piety silver! ”

Ling'er looked at Ding Zhutou and sneered, with a look of disdain, as if the Jia family had some deep hatred for him! Listening to his voice, no matter how much silver the Jia family sent, they were just making a show? The purpose, of course, is to wait for the Jia family to send more silver, and it doesn't matter to them whether they catch someone or not! Now Ling'er is finally relieved!

Later, Ling'er asked about the situation in the city and the whereabouts of the other children in the past few days.

After Ling'er and a few people left the county, the city became more and more troublesome, the Jia family not only went to the county government to report the case, but also sent additional people to search the towns and villages around the county, and posted notices everywhere, repeatedly increasing the reward, Ling'er's worth has increased from the first two taels to twenty taels per person! Fortunately, there is no news of the child being arrested yet.

On the way back to the city, Ding Zhutou picked up Qi Liu, who was fainting on the side of the road, and they brought people back, and happened to meet the criminal justice who came to report Ling'er's matter, so they handed Qi Liu over to Xingyi, and then rushed back to the county government to hear about the incident in Shankou Town, and immediately rushed here again, and relieved Ling'er's family in time.

Ding Zhutou said: "Stinky girl, since that kid from Qi Liu belongs to your group, I will send someone to send him over when I go back!" ”

"Don't, don't, don't! Uncle Ding, you know that the Jia family is looking for us, and our family has taken in three of them at once, which is easy to attract attention, Qi Liu's side...... Please Uncle Ding must take him in! ”

"Oh? That's it! …… Our Ding Mansion is not afraid of more than one eater, but our Ding family and the Na Jia family have always been at odds, if the Jia family knows that we have taken in the person they are looking for, I am afraid it will be ......."

"Please Uncle Ding save people to the end!"

Ding Zhutou wrinkled and hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then I'll pretend not to know for the time being!" Anyway, I'm not afraid of the Najia family! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ding!" Ling'er sincerely thanked her, thought about it and raised her head and said, "Uncle Ding, there is a reluctant request, please help!" ”

"Heh, you're not polite at all!" Ding Shi on the side was quite dissatisfied.

Ding Zhutou glanced at him, turned his head and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

"Actually... I just want to ask Uncle Ding to help me keep an eye on it and see if I can find a few other children? They are all fatherless and motherless orphans, who have no family care at a young age, and they have to be hunted down by the adults......" Ling'er lowered her head gloomily.

Ding Zhutou paused, patted Ling'er on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention!" (To be continued)
