Wait a minute! Bai Ling grabbed the little girl's hand, "Sister still has something to say-"

Nian Nian screamed in pain, and Bai Ling quickly let go of her hand, but she didn't exert much force.

The little girl turned her back, rolled up her sleeves and exhaled, carefully rubbing her upper arms.

Thinking of something, Bai Ling put down the lantern and stepped forward to pull the little girl's hand in front of him.

She rolled up her sleeves, and there were several visible bruises and scabs on the outside of her arms.

Without waiting for Bai Ling to ask, Nian Nian withdrew his hand, "It's not good-looking, don't look at it." ”

Bai Ling took a deep breath, squatted and moved a few steps forward, and leaned back in front of the little girl, "Who hit you?" ”

"My mother said," Nian Nian said softly, "You can't tell outsiders about things at home." ”

"Is your mother home now?"

Nian Nian looked at Bai Ling, nodded first, and then shook his head again.

"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Bai Ling asked softly.

"I don't know." The smile on the little girl's face disappeared, and she looked at Bai Ling in front of her with some vigilance, "Is my sister looking for my mother?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "I'm—"

"Bad guys!" Nian Nian quickly broke free of Bai Ling's hand, "Don't come to my mother!" ”

Before Bai Ling could ask why, the little girl ran away as fast as she could, in the same direction that the maid had left earlier. Bai Ling was about to chase after her, but several turtle paws blocked her way.

In the rain, a few turtle paws ran quickly into the nearby deep alley, and when they returned, they had a few more oil umbrellas in their hands.

The rain curtain fell drip down the edge of the umbrella, and Bai Ling had to stand there and wait.

Why did Niannian say that she was a bad person when she heard that she had come to find her mother?

Who is "you" in her mouth? Who have come to Bao Yuan?

And the wounds on the little girl's body......

The more Bai Ling thought about it, the more strange and frightened he felt.

After a while, the maid returned, she took the lantern again, and glanced at Bai Ling, "I found it now, come with me." ”

The group followed the direction that the little girl had left, and with each step forward, Bai Ling became more and more sure that it was Bao Yuan's daughter that Fang had just met.

The appearance is similar, the time is almost right, and it will be good to live around here...... Where else is possible?

Turning a street corner with trepidation, the maid raised her hand and pointed to a dilapidated house not far away.

"See that turtle paw?" The maid pointed ahead, "The person you are looking for lives in that house, you can go." ”

Bai Ling took a deep breath, they had just passed this alley at least two or three times...... The results were all missed. She was about to take a step when she suddenly remembered something, "Have you already seen her?" ”

"Who?"

"O people who live in the house." Bai Ling asked softly.

"yes." The maid frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" How can I be sure I'm in the right place without seeing her in person? ”

"Confirm it, confirm it, why put a turtle paw in front of her house?"

"I beckoned me to stand at the door, so that I wouldn't walk through again without seeing clearly for a while." The maid also frowned, "What's the problem?" ”

“……”

Bai Ling faintly felt that something was wrong, and she suddenly felt a little unsure - was her visit a good thing or a bad thing for Bao Yuan?

She had only taken two steps forward when she saw a familiar voice rushing out of the room in the distance.

Bao Yuan, holding a burden in his arms, viciously smashed the turtle paw standing at the door.

Bai Ling instinctively leaned against the nearby doorrail, leaning against the wooden wall, she looked at the treasure duck not far away who was angrily scolding the turtle paw standing in front of the door.

The surrounding neighbors also gathered in front of the window to watch.

The turtle paw inexplicably picked up the burden thrown by the treasure duck, and as soon as he got started, his eyes lit up slightly - listen to the sound and weigh the weight, this is mostly silver taels!

He glanced at Bao Yuan with a little unhappiness, and scolded in a low voice, "Vixen!" Then he turned and walked in the direction where Bai Ling was.

Bao Yuan stood in place, still holding the flat pole used for beating people in her hand, and when the turtle paw was gone, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes very hard.

Nian Nian ran out at this time, Bao Yuan picked up the child, and the two went back to the house together.

Then there was a deafening sound of the door closing.

"Auntie." The turtle paw that had just confronted Bao Yuan had already walked to Bai Ling's side in a blink of an eye, he was holding the bag with silver money in his hand, and looked at the coolly dressed maid with a smile, "Look at this ......"

"What is this?" Bai Ling asked.

"A little bereavement from Lan Zhijun." The maid glanced at Bai Ling, "With this money, who will use it to work as a coolie?" I don't know what this man thinks in his head......"

"Oh, she just said," said the turtle paw, and said quickly, "she said that she earns money innocently, and does not spend such unclean money. ”

The maid sneered, "If you don't spend it, you won't spend it, you will live in the flower lane, who will show this shelf?" ”

"Give me the money." Bai Ling stretched out his hand.

The turtle's paw was a little reluctant to let go, and his eyes looked at the maid's end.

The maid laughed, "Look at what I do, the money is not mine, give." ”

"Eh......" The turtle paw reluctantly handed the burden into Bai Ling's hands, as if the burden was not filled with money, but with his in-laws' children.

"Have they always lived here?" Bai Ling asked again.

"Hmm." The maid nodded.

"Anyone else?"

The maid frowned slightly, and she looked at the turtle paw nearby, "You know what? ”

"I know," the turtle paw who was guarding the door of Bao Yuan's house hurriedly said, "The flower kiln where I work is near here, I know everything in this area, and there is a man in this family, who eats empty wages in the yamen, is a gambler, and he hasn't come back for a few days." ”

"Man......" Bai Ling frowned slightly, "her husband? ”

"No, I haven't held a banquet, I just bought a mother-in-law to live." Turtle Paw said, "The head of this family is also famous in this area, I didn't live here before, I only moved here eight or nine years ago, and I occupied a dilapidated house that didn't cost money by relying on relationships, and I still had furniture with me at that time." ”

"Then I gambled it out, didn't you?"

"Don't you gamble! It's almost like sleeping in the gambling house. Turtle Paw said.

"Which yamen is it, Jingzhao Yin Yamen?" Bai Ling asked.

The turtle paw spread out his hands, "Then I don't know." ”

"Hit someone, this ...... Head of house. Bai Ling looked at the turtle paw again.

"Hitting?" Turtle Paw frowned slightly, "Fights are not allowed in this place, whoever dares to fight, it is to make himself uncomfortable." ”

"I mean beating my wife and children?" Bai Ling asked again, and she pointed to her arm, "I see that the little girl in that family has bruises on her hands. ”

"What do you mean ......" Turtle Paw looked at Bai Ling's solemn expression, and really felt that the other party was making a little fuss, he laughed and waved his hand, "This ...... Who doesn't beat their wives? ”
