The next day, Zhang's went to look for the dog, Xu Lan went to find the mason, and Xu Dahai and Xu Dawa helped to strengthen the front and back doors of the house a lot.

Chen went to Lizheng's house, crying and shouting about the process of being almost insulted by the flower thief.

Li Zheng's face turned blue when he heard this.

The villagers next to them also had different faces.

"Alright, I'll send someone to look around your house, maybe I'll find some clues." Li Zheng impatiently dismissed Chen.

When she was gone, the room burst into laughter.

It didn't take long for the story of Chen's almost being ruined by flower thieves to spread throughout the village.

The more everyone talked, the more mysterious it became, and finally it reached Chen Ruoran's ears, and the intention had completely changed.

"What? I coveted the beauty of that old woman, coveted her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sneak into her house and ask her for a kiss! Chen Ruoran's face turned pale, and he felt like vomiting when he thought of Chen's old bark-like skin, baggy eye bags and yellowed teeth.

But he couldn't say what he really thought, so he had to hold it in his heart.

"What the hell, I'm going to get this silver ticket!" Chen Ruoran was ruthless in his heart, and hearing the rumors about himself and the old woman made him feel that he had suffered a big loss.

He simply rushed to the county seat, found Brother Xu, and told Xu Lan's family that there were one hundred taels of silver tickets.

Although Brother Xu has some ways in the county, one hundred taels is not a small amount for him.

The two of them put it together and made a plan to get the money.

In the evening of this day, a child arrived at the door of Xu's house to find Xu Dawa.

"Snot Liu said to be waiting for you by the river." The little baby said, "He picked up something interesting and said he wanted to show it to you." ”

Snot Liu Nai is a friend of Xu Dawa, and the two often go to collect firewood together.

Hearing this, Xu Dawa did not doubt him, and went out after saying hello to Zhang.

Who knew that he left and did not return until evening.

Zhang cooked the meal, waited left and right, and didn't see him come back, so he went to Snot Liu's house to find him.

"I've been helping to grind millet at home today, and I haven't gone out." Liu wiped his snot and said, "I don't believe you asked my mother." ”

After confirming his claim, Zhang went to the river to look around.

It's cool by the river, where is the figure of Xu Dawa.

Zhang searched for a long time, but found one of Xu Dawa's shoes on the shore. She immediately weakened her legs and almost fainted.

"Mother!" Xu Lan rushed over when she heard the news and turned the shoe over, but she saw a piece of paper pressed under the shoe.

[If you want to go back to Xu Dawa, exchange it for one hundred taels of silver, and pay the money with one hand and the other hand. Don't report to the official, otherwise the corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces! Put the money under the incense burner of the City God Temple outside the village tomorrow night, and only Xu Lan will be allowed to come alone! 】

Xu Lan read the note to Zhang.

"What, the eldest baby didn't fall into the water, but was tied up?" Zhang grabbed the shoe tightly, the whole person was dizzy, and finally got out of breath.

"I'm afraid it was arrested by someone who knows the situation in our family." Xu Lan frowned.

"What can I do! Why don't we report to the police? "Zhang is in a hurry.

"Let's go back first!" Xu Lan helped Zhang up, and the two returned home.

Hearing that Xu Dawa was kidnapped and the kidnappers were going to exchange it for a hundred taels of silver, Xu Dahai was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Chen pointed at Xu Lan's nose and scolded: "It's all your death." ”

"What's the matter with Lan'er?" Zhang stood in front of Xu Lan, "It's obvious that there are villains." ”

"Phew, if she hadn't been in the limelight and got that silver ticket, how could my eldest baby be arrested!" Chen said angrily, "It's all because of you!" Broom Star, you are the one who caused the troubles in the family. ”

"Grandma, that's not what you said when you received the money!" Xu Lan didn't let go, stared at Chen's eyes and said, "Besides, how did those bad people know that our family got the silver?" ”

"Lord Lin deliberately sent it to his home, just because he didn't want too many people to know, so as not to worry about our family."

"My mother and I don't talk nonsense in person, and my brother and father are also strict-mouthed, and they never talk nonsense about family affairs outside." Xu Lan's brows furrowed, and her voice became a little colder, "Grandma, I heard Aunt Cuihua say that it was you who met people everywhere in the village and said that our family had silver!" ”

Chen was dumbfounded.

She really said it.

Xu Dahai glared at Xu Lan, and said unhappily: "What's the use of talking about these at this time, tomorrow morning, you will go and take out the money, and quickly send it over to rescue your brother." ”

"Yes, yes, you go get the money, I'll go find Lizheng." Chen said quickly, "Let the official arrest people, our eldest baby has also returned, and the money has not been lost." ”

"No!" Xu Lan said quickly, "This matter must not be done. ”

"Do you still have a conscience?" Chen stopped doing it now, raised his hand and was about to hit Xu Lan, "You don't want your brother for money, it's in vain that the big baby is so good to you on weekdays, I told him a long time ago, you are a black-hearted gambler." ”

Xu Dahai also frowned, staring at Xu Lan dissatisfied.

"It's okay to withdraw money, but it's not okay to report to the official!" Xu Lan deftly dodged Chen's hand.

"Why can't you report to the official? You, you want to kill your brother, don't you? Chen was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he kept scolding words like "Death Star".

"Stop arguing, listen to me!" Xu Lan shouted violently.

The voice was so loud that Chen and Xu Dahai were stunned.

"Think about it, how did my brother get arrested?" Xu Lan said seriously, "Those bad guys tricked him out with the name of snot Liu, if he wasn't from the village, how could he be so clear about who his brother was playing well with?" ”

"This person must be someone we know, maybe he is hiding nearby and staring at our house."

"If we go to report to the officials, we will definitely not be able to hide their eyes."

"That's when my brother was really in danger."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

This is so reasonable that even Chen can't find anything wrong.

Zhang was even more worried when he heard this.

"Lan'er, then what do you say you should do to get your brother back safely?"

"I'll pick up the money tomorrow." Xu Lan said, "But I can't go alone." ”

"Why?" Xu Dahai asked puzzled.

Xu Lan shook her head helplessly, her father was really an elm head.

How he didn't want to think about it.

The other party can tie it once, can't it be tied a second time.

If Xu Lan really took the silver ticket to send the money alone, then she was sure that the other party would not only not let Xu Dawa go, but would take the silver ticket and kidnap her together.

At that time, she and Xu Dawa were sold backhandedly.

The Xu family's eyes darkened, and they didn't know who did it.

This is called the loss of people and money.

After listening to Xu Lan's explanation, Xu Dahai became even more difficult.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell are you going to do?"

"I naturally have a way." Xu Lan said seriously, "But you can't make trouble. ”
