Chapter 36: I'm Hungry
Shen Tong stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look over, she saw several people coming over, and the people who were gossiping before gave way one after another.
Obviously, they knew who was coming.
At the head was a man in his early thirties, dressed in fine clothes, with his head held high, and beside him was an old man with gray hair, whose eyes kept wandering over the man and the onlookers, as if he was observing the man's face.
Behind them, there were three or four attendants dressed up, their temples bulging high, and they looked like Lian Jiazi.
The old woman who fell to the ground with Fang Fei finally got up, and before she could stand up, she saw a few people coming, she used her hands and feet together, crawled to the old man's feet, and cried: "Captain, Miss Qian's family is back, ask her quickly, where is my Xiaocui!" ”
"Miss Qian?" The old man, who was called the lieutenant, looked at Shen Tong in surprise, who was surrounded by everyone, and Fang Fei, who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Yes, that's Miss Qian's family, Amin's family has seen it, I don't believe you asked Amin's family." The old woman stood up trembling slightly, and pointed to the woman who was huddled aside.
The chief looked at the woman, and the man in the brocade robe also looked over, his eyes were blazing, like two sharp blades, the woman was startled, and her expression became nervous, and she lost the articulate voice just now: "...... I'll go to Qian's house...... I went to Qian's house to deliver embroidery work...... Ever seen...... I've seen Miss Qian's ......"
The man's gaze turned away from the woman and then at the chief, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The green tendons on Lichang's forehead moved, and he said unhappily to the woman: "Ah Min's family, you have seen Miss Qian, why didn't you say it before, after Miss Qian was lost, I asked you, who knows what she looks like, you all say that you have never seen her, it's only been a few days, have you forgotten?" ”
Amin's hand holding the vegetable basket trembled slightly, and she hurriedly said, "...... When I went to deliver embroidery...... More, more looks...... didn't see her eyebrows clearly, she was just a little girl who didn't keep her head,...... And...... It's about the same height as these two little girls......"
"Ah Min's family, you didn't say that just now, why ...... you" didn't wait for Ah Min's family to finish speaking, the old woman shouted, although she was old, but she was not deaf and blind, just now Ah Min's family said that she would not be mistaken, and said that she had seen it twice, this is Miss Qian's family.
"Okay, Mrs. Liu, I know that your granddaughter is lost, you are very sad, but when you don't see the little girl, you think that your granddaughter is back, besides, the government is already looking for it, you just go back and wait for news, don't gather people to make trouble anymore, disperse, disperse." The long words are serious, and he has the image of a benevolent man.
The old woman wanted to say more, but was persuaded to leave by a few kind-hearted neighbors: "The chief is right, let's go back and wait for news, let's leave quickly." ”
The crowd that was full just now scattered in all directions, and the Amin family ran the fastest.
I really shouldn't have come out today, hurry up and go home and close the door.
The street that finally became lively, and in a moment there were only a few people left.
The brocade-robed man walked slowly in front of Shen Tong, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked her up and down: "This nose is indeed a little similar." ”
Shen Tong suddenly wanted to laugh, this was already the second person to say her nose.
The first is Tu Wei, who said that she has the nose of a Shen family;
Now this is the second.
Shen Tong didn't speak, her eyes met the man's gaze, there was no fear, let alone dodge.
"How old are you?" The man's voice was cold, like an ice pick.
"Eight." The corners of Shen Tong's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled.
The lieutenant chief didn't know Miss Qian's true identity, and this man didn't want him to know, he would rather check it himself than let the Ah Min family identify it in public.
So, the man only asked her how old she was, but he didn't ask her name.
"Eight? Good, good. The man said, the look on his face as cold as his voice.
"We're hungry, and we don't have enough clothes to wear," Shen Tong said crisply, and she lifted her feet again, "The shoes are also torn." ”
"Well, let's go eat first," said the man, looking at the chief again, "and get them some new clothes, well, and new shoes." ”
If the lieutenant was amnesty, he hurriedly said: "Old decay, let's arrange it, let's arrange it." ”
At the end of the tea, Shen Tong and Fang Fei were already sitting in a spacious and bright living room.
Half-new, yellowed calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls, a huge table full of colorful dim sum, and two cups of sweet soup.
Fang Fei's eyes couldn't see it, she swallowed her saliva hard, her two little hands wringed under the table, but she sat straight and didn't dare to move.
"It's okay, they won't poison it, eat it." Shen Tong said with a smile.
"Miss......" Fang Fei lowered her voice and whispered, "We don't know them, so let's not eat." ”
"Afraid of what? Are you still afraid that they will be drugged and sold to people's teeth? It's not like you haven't been sold. ”
This sentence again, Fang Fei blushed, yes, it's not that she hasn't been sold, it's a big deal to sell it again...... But the young lady can't be sold.
"The slave eats first, the slave eats fine, and the young lady eats it again." As she spoke, Fang Fei reached out and picked up a piece of red bean cake and took a bite.
Shen Tong smiled again, she touched Fang Fei's curly hair: "I said it's okay, it's okay, eat it with confidence." ”
As she spoke, she took a piece of pastry herself and ate it.
"You can't make decent snacks in this small place, so let's make up and eat first."
The man's voice suddenly sounded, Fang Fei's hands shook in fright, and the snack fell on the table.
The man in brocade walked in at some point, he looked at the two little girls sitting at the table, his eyes fell on Shen Tong, the little girl noticed his gaze, raised her little face, grinned at him, and continued to eat.
The man didn't say anything more, and he walked out slowly.
The entourage, who had been waiting outside, came over and asked in a low voice, "General, is this really ......?"
"I don't know." The man shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the porch.
It was too sudden, this little girl appeared too suddenly, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Moreover, who sent them here, has the whereabouts of his group been mastered?
"General, this matter is a little strange, do you want to ask them first?" The attendant said that they he was talking about were two little girls who were eating in the house.
In the middle of the night, they received a message from the flying pigeon, and two little girls appeared in Liujiawan, these two little girls went around the street, and then went to the river, claiming to be relatives of the Qian family, and asked the old man about the Qian family, and after dark, they went to the Qian family's house that had been burned down, and spent the night in the house.
They set off overnight, rushed to Liujiawan at dawn, and just met the lieutenant governor of Liujiawan, and then saw these two little girls.
Now that I think about it, they were really attracted by these two little girls.
