Chapter 107: The Thief
Si Linche took the oil lamp on the side and took a photo, and the place where the shoes and socks of the three people were originally placed was really empty. Yun Geng was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, do thieves like such heavy things now? Can you steal shoes?
"There are footprints here!" Si Yi walked around the carriage and suddenly shouted.
The two of them looked over and saw that there were a few small footprints on the ground next to the carriage, presumably left by accidentally stepping into the mud when leaving.
"It's ...... The kids?" The footprints were narrow, Yun Genggen recognized that it was a child, turned his head and asked Si Linche.
"It should be," Si Linche paused, and didn't intend to delve into it, and said to Si Yi: "Let's go, let's go back."
"Don't want your shoes?" Si Yi asked.
Yun Genggen remembered that it was he who took the initiative to pull these children together during the day, and seeing that they were not very old, he never expected that they would steal things with crooked thoughts, which would affect Si Linche and Si Yi in vain. I felt a little guilty in my heart, and I was about to apologize to them, when I heard Si Linche say one step ahead of her:
"It's not in the way to go back and buy another pair, if you lose it, you lose it, it's just a pair of shoes, let's go."
Si Yi also wanted to go back as soon as possible, so he put on the reins and turned around and said, "Then let's go."
As soon as the words fell, a shout came not far away, and Yun Genggen poked his head out and pulled Si Yi.
"Sister Geng Geng! Wait a minute! It was the somewhat immature voice of the children.
Si Linche leaned over and got out of the carriage first, then helped Yun Geng to get down, and said softly: "Let's take a look first."
By the candlelight, seeing a small figure not far away stumbling towards this side, Yun Genggen remembered that the ground was now full of water and silt, afraid that they would not be able to see the road clearly and fall, so he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful not to fall!"
These children have grown up here since they were children, so naturally they will be fine, and they will come to Yun Geng Geng unharmed. One of the little boys approached the two, put his hands behind his back, blushed and said, "Sister Geng Geng...... I'm sorry. ”
Yun Genggen didn't speak, bowed his head and waited for him to continue.
"Sister Geng Geng, we stole your shoes, I'm sorry, we know it's wrong, and we'll give it back to you." The little boy took out his shoes from behind him, and they were the three pairs that had been lost.
Yun Genggen saw that this group of children all lowered their heads, and they looked like they were seriously admitting their mistakes, and his heart softened. Remembering that the original owner used to live such a humble life, it seems that he is inferior everywhere, and he doesn't even dare to hope for beautiful things, and he adds some helplessness while pity.
Yun Genggen squatted down and patted them on the head: "Why steal it?"
"We've never seen such beautiful shoes, so we ...... for a moment"
"You are still young, if you have anything you want, you can tell your sister, as long as it is reasonable, my sister will try her best to satisfy you." Yun Geng said.
"When you grow up and can make money, you can buy such beautiful shoes with your own hands."
"But you have to remember that you can't steal whether you're a child or an adult, because that's not right, you know?"
It is rare for Yun Genggen to talk to others in such a serious manner, and he also knows that these children who have never touched books will have a bright future, and they don't know how many times more difficult it is than the children in the city. In other words, a large part of them will end up living in the countryside for the rest of their lives, just like their parents. But she thought that since this was the case, it would be better to let them have good character and good temperament.
Since you can't be extremely smart, you must be kind and obedient.
People don't go on by power and money, they walk to the end by their own character.
Si Linche stood aside and saw that Yun Geng's eyes were gradually gentle, and he saw that every little foot under the candlelight was stepping on the mud, and the water was naturally cold at night. Si Linche saw it, and there were some complicated feelings in his heart.
He also squatted down and gently lowered his eyelashes: "If you like these boots, take them back."
"In a few days I will send you some more shoes that fit, they will be as beautiful as these three pairs of shoes in your hands."
He looked at the group of children, and seemed to see himself through their small figures, who he didn't know how many years ago.
At the end, Si Linche sighed lightly and said, "This is the gift you received because of your honesty."
Yuan Wufu had been listening to the carriage for a while, and at this time he had regained his composure, knowing in his heart that he would definitely not be able to return to Si Wenyuan's side in the future. I only hated this Si Linche for blowing him up, and I didn't know what hardships I would have to give myself in the future, so I couldn't help but feel angry, and the jar was broken.
Seeing that Yun Genggen and Si Linche said goodbye to their children and got into the car, Yuan Wufu had nothing to fear, rolled his eyes and sneered: "It is worthy of being a child of a big family, so good at buying people's hearts, but it's a pity that this is the countryside, and no one will applaud you if you pretend to be here."
"What about you? What is the intention of sneakily going to the girl's boudoir to put a handkerchief and paper cutting? Si Linche raised his eyes, feeling a little tired, and directly mocked back.
"Don't force me to do it to you now." Si Linche said coldly.
Yuan Wufu opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
Yun Geng smoothed his train of thought, wanted to see how much Yuan Wufu knew about this matter, and said, "Then you might as well listen to me."
Yuan Wufu looked up at her.
"Si Wenyuan has always been flamboyant and treacherous, he knew that Si Ling had paid attention to the Oiran, and in order to please Si Ling, he robbed the Oiran and hid it here, wanting to find a suitable opportunity to dedicate it to Si Ling."
"But he didn't expect that Si Ling just paid attention to the Oiran for a while, and didn't like the Oiran girl much, and saw that Si Ling was helping the Dayanei, so he planned to come to a smooth water, and use the hands of the Dayan to damage Si Ling's reputation, which can not only provoke the relationship between the two people, but also deduct a charge of injustice and injustice to the Dayanei, killing two birds with one stone, and really playing a good hand."
Yun Geng smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "Of course, the premise is that we don't catch you, and you don't confess."
Yuan Wufu couldn't refute what she said, so he could only sit aside with a cold face and remain silent.
However, Si Linche laughed sullenly, and a warm and low voice came into his ears, reminiscent of the artistic conception of spring rain, and Yun Geng's heart moved.
The light in the carriage was dim, and Si Linche naturally couldn't see Yun Genggeng's somewhat reddened cheeks. Afraid that she would be uncomfortable again because of the bumps in the carriage, her slender and clean fingers picked up, and Ying Ying grabbed Yun Genggan's waist with a hand.
"You can sleep for a while, so as not to feel uncomfortable."
Yun Genggen had been busy all day with sore hands and numb legs, and now that Si Linche said this, she felt a burst of exhaustion coming to her. So Yun Genggen nodded, and he was not polite, and closed his eyes for a nap.
