Three days later, Su Xiaoting took a hovering bus and came to the southern suburbs of the imperial capital. There is an address in the bracelet, which is An Ran's in Mu Ziyou's mouth.

Before leaving, she signed a contract with the recruited villagers and others, and handed over the follow-up matters and 300,000 alliance coins to Mu Ziyou, so that he could be fully responsible for the annual planning and financial expenditure of the farm.

Originally, she planned to find a place to live in the southern suburbs, but she couldn't stand Mu Ziyou's persuasion, so she had to ask her friends to help Zhang Luo during her stay in the imperial capital. And he told him not to reveal anything about his illness!

Under Su Xiaoting's teasing, Mu Ziyou rarely showed a little shyness, which made Su Xiaoting a little curious about An Ran.

She traveled lightly, carrying only a shoulder bag, and arrived in the southern suburbs in the afternoon, getting off the automatic taxi, intending to go directly to An Ran.

It's not too far from the place where the last night party was popular, and it is said that it belongs to the southern suburbs.

It's just that the piece in front of her seems to be more dirty and dilapidated than Zhibei New Lane, which makes Su Xiaoting feel more and more surprised, reminding of the slums of New York in modern times.

But this is obviously not her main concern at the moment, and the buildings and alleys here are almost identical, and there are no landmarks to distinguish between them.

For Su Xiaoting, a road idiot who has not been able to distinguish things since she was a child, it is almost no different from walking in a maze, so when she found that she had completely turned, she grabbed a little boy next to her and politely asked for the way.

The little boy wore a gray velvet hat, and a gray sea floated outside the brim, about twelve or thirteen years old, and I don't know if he was growing his body, and he looked thin and thin like a bamboo pole.

Hearing Su Xiaoting ask for directions, his wooden eyes suddenly became lively, and he quickly glanced at the other party a few times, and said lazily: "Oh, you said the school center in Huaixi Lane!" Well, just a little ahead. ”

He looked left and right, "But it's not easy to walk, why don't I take you there?" ”

"Really? I'm sorry for you~ Thank you! Su Xiaoting has a natural sense of trust for children of this age, and she is glad to have met enthusiastic people.

She could have asked An Ran to pick her up, but as an adult, it was such an unfamiliar relationship, and she didn't want to trouble the other party too much.

The two walked on the undulating road one after the other, and gradually came to an open area.

A small river 4 or 5 meters wide is in front of you, and along the banks of the river, you can also see scattered people who wash clothes in this small river that is not very clear.

"The river is a bit deep, if you're scared, you can walk from the bridge on the right!" The little boy turned his head and said,

Su Xiaoting looked at the one-and-a-half-wide simple plank bridge in front of her, and smiled back: "No need, let's go~"

The little boy's face was hot, and he stopped looking at her, and went up first.

The two had only taken a few steps on the wooden bridge, when the little boy suddenly pointed to the side of the river and said:

"Oops, what's that, bling?" With that, he stretched his body diagonally above the water, as if to see more clearly.

Su Xiaoting subconsciously glanced at the surface of the water, but did not find anything shining.

I heard the boy next to him suddenly shout, "Oops, it's so slippery~Ah!" ”

Then, as if he suddenly lost his balance, he made a gesture to hit her.

Su Xiaoting's body was faster than her brain, and she immediately reached out to help, but the other party grabbed her arm first, and then felt the left side of her body being hit by a force to the water.

By the time she realized something was wrong, her weight had crossed the bridge, and out of self-preservation, she quickly twisted her body and put her other arm on the bridge, while the boy pulled off her backpack and took two steps back as soon as she turned around.

After seeing Su Xiaoting propping up her hands on the bridge and not falling into the water, she was shocked for only 1 second, and then ran out.

Su Xiaoting's reaction was almost synchronized with the boy, and when she saw the boy running away with her bag on her back, she didn't hesitate to prop up her body, quickly turned over on the bridge, and stared at the cowboy blue figure and chased after her.

It was dinner time, and there were already few pedestrians on the road, and passers-by seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and no one interfered with the onlookers.

I have to say that she underestimated this half-grown hairy child, with such a thin body, running faster than a rabbit, and based on her familiarity with the terrain, she took shortcuts, drilled through the cracks in the wall, and got rid of a stubborn monkey alive, and kept a stable distance from her.

It wasn't until the boy got into a pipe more than half a person high that Su Xiaoting hesitated for 2 seconds before following up, and when she walked out of the 7 or 8 long pipes that looked like abandoned sewers, the boy was nowhere to be found.

Su Xiaoting immediately had a headache, in that bag, there was not only a gemstone necklace, but also Li Hanmo's bracelet and other identity credentials that she was carrying.

But she has the advantage that the more urgent things are, the more she reminds herself to stay calm, so she temporarily suppresses her worries and listens to the sounds around her.

Her five senses were very sharp now, and in such a short period of time, she couldn't hear the sound of running, which only meant that the young man was mostly hiding in a house somewhere in front of her.

Thinking of this, she quickly ran towards the tallest building nearby! With his current skills, he jumped on the roof in a few longitudinal crossings and quietly looked around.

Just near Su Xiaoting's location, in a simple shack with a small courtyard, the person sitting on the iron bed in the room, after hearing the slight noise from the door, hung a veil that had been rubbed for a long time in his hand back to the head of the bed.

Then he walked to the cubicle outside with his slippers.

"What did you do?" Ke Yan stared suspiciously at the bulging black plastic bag in the boy's hand.

"It's nothing, I'll go find the toys that Chen Xiaoquan borrowed!" With that, the boy hesitated and sat down at the dining table in the cubicle.

"Borrowed?" Ke Yan stepped forward to check.

"Brother~ Don't move, you don't play these."

"Then you can play with me now!"

……

After a long silence, the boy compromised!

"Brother, yes, I picked it up!" If he hadn't just seen the tomboy jump on the roof, he would have hid his bag in the yard.

It's really unlucky to open the door and get home.

Sure enough, after Ke Yan checked the contents inside, he went back to the room without saying a word.

The boy almost ran away, but stopped by the door and went around to the side of the table.

Ke Yan was holding a wooden stick, and his face, which was usually a little pale, was now crimson because of his anger.

"You're out of luck! I actually learned to steal chickens and touch dogs~ said! Did you steal it? ”

"Brother...... You, don't be angry~" Wu Tianle replied timidly.

"Am I freezing you, or am I starving you? I told you not to learn well! Ke Yan took a wooden stick and slapped Wu Tianle's buttocks.

Wu Tianle instinctively dodged left and right behind the table, his brother is a second-level capable, and now he is angry, and if he breaks himself, he has to spend money on his brother~

"Stinky boy, you dare to hide!"

Ke Yan said, kicked over the table, and the thumb-thick stick, with the strength of the capable, beckoned to Wu Tianle's skinny back, and he immediately screamed.

hugged Ke Yan's thighs and begged for mercy: "Big brother, stop fighting, I, I won't steal~"
