Chapter 106: The Hunt

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

A girl holding a bamboo basket appeared at the door, her face was sallow, her stature was short, and she looked malnourished.

Qianqing looked at Xiaoqing, wondering what she meant.

Perhaps she couldn't bear to ignore the girl, Xiaoqing took the initiative to speak: "Our sister and brother happened to pass by here and haven't been able to find accommodation, so I want to ask if the young lady's family can take us in." ”

Little sister is a word she learned from the barrage.,You can often see the barrage that starts with "little sister".,After asking.,After learning the meaning of the little sister.,She also liked this usage.。

The girl who was called a little sister by Xiaoqing blushed slightly, stood in place at a loss, bit her lip lightly, put the bamboo basket on the ground, turned around and trotted into the house.

"I'll ask Madame. ”

After a while, the girl's face appeared dejectedly, and the words of refusal could not be spoken, and in the end she could only look unspeakable.

Qianqing, who understood it, smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, don't take it to heart." ”

As he spoke, he was going to take Xiaoqing away.

"Wait a minute!" the girl suddenly stopped the two of them and said, "What if...... If you don't dislike it, you can, you can live in my house. It's just that it hasn't been cleaned for a while, and it may be a little messy. ”

Qianqing and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, they really couldn't bear to refuse the girl, so they said, "Then thank you." ”

Seeing that Qianqing agreed, the girl was a little surprised at first, and then remembered that she still had work to do, so she had to beg: "Can you wait for me for a while? I have to help Madame wash all the clothes." Soon! a stick of incense...... No, it's just the time of a cup of tea!"

Although they didn't know the difference between this stick of incense and a cup of tea, the two who didn't want to disappoint the girl did not refuse, and after offering to help her was rejected, Qianqing followed her on the grounds of room fee.

However, let a little girl do the laundry at night, and the owner of the house is cruel enough to the servant.

Through conversations on the road, I learned that the girl's name is Li Chunhua, 16 years old this year, because her parents died early, and her brother was a soldier in the city, so he didn't have time to take care of her, so he sent her to the family just now to work as a domestic helper.

The place where Li Chunhua washes clothes is an old well, in the southeast corner of the city, and further inside is a wood, in which a carpenter lives, and you can occasionally see it.

After making water, she skillfully put her clothes on the stone platform by the well, first passed the water, and then beat it up with the wooden stick she carried with her.

A piece of clothing is repeated several times, and finally the bamboo basket is washed, and finally the previously washed clothes are watered again, and then put it back.

"Thank you. Li Chunhua packed up her clothes, two of which were washed by Xiaoqing, she lived with the patriarch all year round, and she did a lot of housework.

This time, Qianqing took the first step to help her pick up the bamboo basket, he didn't have a chance to help Li Chunhua get it on the road before, but now he finally found the opportunity.

"I, I'll come. Li Chunhua blushed and whispered.

She wasn't used to being helped by others, because she was always the one who was sent.

Qianqing ignored her, and walked by herself with the bamboo basket, and Xiaoqing behind her grabbed the hand of Li Chunhua, who wanted to step forward to return the bamboo basket, and started chatting with the parents again.

I went back a lot faster than when I came, and after waiting at the door for a while, I saw Li Chunhua's figure appear behind the half-hidden door.

Li Chunhua said apologetically: "I'm sorry to make you wait." ”

"It's okay, let's go. ”

She didn't say where her home was, anyway, she was leading the way in front, but the route she took was known to Qianqing, and the two of them had just walked this road.

Xiao Qing stepped back to be parallel to Qianqing, and whispered, "Here...... Isn't it near the inn?"

"Hmm. Qianqing nodded, that's right, go a little further, and return to the inn they first found.

Just when they thought that the inn was Li Chunhua's home, Li Chunhua in front of him paused, stopped in front of a small house, turned around and said: "Here, this is my house, it's a little messy inside, I hope you don't mind too much." ”

Although they were mentally prepared, the chaos inside still scared Qianqing and Xiaoqing.

The tables and chairs at the door of the house were all on all fours, the candlesticks were overturned on the ground, and the pots and pans were shattered and cracked.

"Thief?!"

The scene inside the house even Li Chunhua herself was taken aback.

Hearing the words of the thief, Qianqing immediately rushed to Li Chunhua to protect her.

"Navigation, thief. ”

I don't know if it's going to work, try it and talk about it.

"If you don't have a target, do you want to expand the navigation range?"

This passage was directly fed back into Qianqing's consciousness, and he immediately rejected it, just to confirm whether there were any thieves in the house.

Although the "navigation" ability did not find the thief, it cannot be ruled out that it was a problem with the wording of navigation, so Qianqing did not relax his vigilance.

"Spring Flowers?...... Is that you?!"

The man's voice rang out from the room, and a familiar sight came into view.

"Is that you?"

Unexpectedly, the person who appeared was the soldier who received the silver beads given by Qianqing at the city gate - Li Tianye.

"Brother?" Li Chunhua's face was full of surprise, she couldn't have imagined that her brother would actually go home.

After experiencing the first accident, Li Tianye quickly calmed down and asked, "Why did you come to my house?"

"I invited them. Li Chunhua bypassed Qianqing, walked in front of Li Tianye, pointed to the things on the ground, and asked, "Brother, is it a thief?"

Li Tianye shook his head, pulled her behind him, and said to Qianqing: "I don't know what Chunhua said to you, but I can only say sorry to you, you guys go, we have some family matters to deal with." ”

Li Tianye's eviction order was unexpected, especially Li Chunhua, "Brother......" She pulled Li Tianye's clothes behind her back, and her tone was very aggrieved.

"Obedient. ”

"I'm sorry, but please go quickly. ”

Qianqing stared at his face, who was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

"In that case, let's take our leave. ”

No matter how Li Tianye is also Li Chunhua's brother, he must not harm her, take a step back, just like Li Tianye said, what happens is their family matter, and Qianqing has no right to interfere.

and Xiaoqing left Li Chunhua's house, among which Li Chunhua wanted to speak out several times to stay, but was stopped by Li Tianye, so he had to watch the two leave.

"Chunhua, she's going to be fine, right?" Although there wasn't much to talk about, Xiaoqing had already developed feelings for Li Chunhua.

"I hope so. Qianqing walked aimlessly, he was thinking, Li Tianye must be the one who turned the house upside down, combined with those few silver beads, it is not difficult to think that he wanted to run away.

However, running away is also the Li family's business, and it is not his turn as an outsider to point fingers.

"Dodo!"

The sound of neat and uniform footsteps sounded on the street, and a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers appeared on the street where the two of them walked, and they had a clear goal.

It seems to be true, Li Tianye is preparing to run away, and the reason is that Qianqing can guess what the reason is, I am afraid that it was because of the uneven distribution of the spoils and then killed his companions. It's just that Li Chunhua suffered, if she can't run away, she will be an accomplice, and the end will definitely be miserable.

"Clean. ”

Xiao Qing grabbed Qianqing from behind, and the worry on her body could be felt without words.

"Alas. With a sigh, Qianqing hugged Xiaoqing's waist and disappeared into the street.

Take a look, if you can help, you can help him, and he is also to blame, he gave the silver bead as a bargaining chip to Li Tianye, otherwise with his strength, the city wall more than ten meters high would not be difficult for him at all.

So far, Qianqing's mentality has not been able to adapt to his new identity, and deep down, he has always felt that he is an ordinary person, and he has not changed his opinion because of his own strength.

As it turns out, there are some things that can't be avoided.
