Chapter 168: The Rogues
Jinshu sighed and motioned for Ping An to go to the car to get some food.
Ping An took two boxes of the newly bought pastries today and handed them to her. Jin Shu stepped forward and gave the child the thing in his hand, and was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned when he saw his legs.
The boy took the pastry and thanked him, and before Jinshu could say anything more, he limped away with his things. Zhang Dalian was worried that a child would have nowhere to settle in this cold winter moon, and was trying to catch up and keep people, but who wanted to be caught by Jinshu.
"Xiaojin, what are you pulling me for?" Zhang Dalian looked puzzled. However, when she turned her head, she saw Jinshu's serious expression, and suddenly her heart was a little unsettled.
"Auntie, is Grandpa Lizheng at home?" Jin Shu frowned and suddenly asked.
Zhang Dalian didn't know why she suddenly changed the topic, but she still answered honestly: "Yes." Are you looking for him? ”
Jinshu nodded, he couldn't care about the New Year's goods in the car, so he pulled Zhang Dalian and ran home. Zhao Hui followed, and the three of them soon arrived at Lizheng's house.
Li was roasting at home with nothing to do, when he saw Jinshu hurriedly coming in with his daughter-in-law. He thought that something big had happened in the village, and was about to ask, so he listened to Jinshu quickly explain what had just happened.
"You two saved a little beggar? This is a good thing, why do you think you are so flustered? ”
Jin Shu replied with a solemn face: "It's really not a big deal to save someone, but the key is that the identity of that little beggar is strange!" ”
Zhang Dalian was a little puzzled when she heard this, and hurriedly interjected: "I see that he is dressed in tatters, just an ordinary beggar, what's wrong?" ”
Jin Shu continued: "I don't know if you just noticed it, auntie, although the child is dressed in tatters, his exposed arms and legs look full of muscles, so he just looks thin, but in fact he should be very strong." And the position of his calf is wrapped around the leggings, but the left side looks slightly bulging, and I think it should be a dagger. ”
"This ...... I didn't pay attention to that. ”
Seeing this, Li Zheng asked: "When you say this, there is indeed something strange in this. But what is his identity? ”
Jin Shu took a deep breath, looked at Li Zheng and said seriously: "I suspect that he is a rogue!" ”
Li Zheng stood up in fright, and didn't know what to say for a while. He is in charge of the affairs of the whole village, and he naturally gets more news than other villagers on weekdays. In addition, he has many acquaintances in Yamen, and he happened to hear about the troubles in Linxian County from the other party a few days ago, but he didn't expect that this matter would fall into the village under his jurisdiction today.
"Jin girl, are you serious?" This is a major matter related to the lives of the whole village, and Li Zheng naturally has to be very careful.
"What is the reason for a strong child who came to our village disguised as a beggar and secretly hid a sharp weapon? Today I went to the town and heard that the county next door seemed to be making trouble. Originally, I thought that our village was in the middle of nowhere, so I didn't take it to heart. But when I got close to the child, I noticed the difference in him, and I suddenly remembered it. If what I expected, I'm afraid the kid was sent by the rogue to step on it. When he goes back and reports the situation in our village to the people above, those rogues will definitely come to our village to loot at that time. ”
Jinshu's methodical analysis made Li Zheng's heart half cold. Originally, the village was not affected by the drought this year, and the grain harvest was a good event, but now it seems that the disaster that will take on lives is coming.
"Grandpa Lizheng, it's the New Year in a few days, and I guess those rogues will choose to start when everyone is unprepared for the family reunion. While there are still a few days in between, let's make plans early! ”
"Yes...... But what can we do? Why don't I find someone to report to the official! ”。
"Even if you report to the government, the government will not care if there is no evidence. I suggest that we tell everyone about this and let everyone go to the mountains to hide together. When the time comes, the rogues can't find anyone, so they will naturally take the initiative to leave. ”
