Ergouzi nodded, stiffened his neck, and resolutely, "Yes, you send me to the official, we still have a lot of younger brothers and sisters to raise, I am stupid and can't earn money." Without me, there is a leopard brother, and I can feed them. ”

The leopard frowned and scolded, "Obviously I pulled you over, it's my crime, not you." The official arrested me and released the two dogs. He has a bad brain, he was fooled by me, and he was deceived by me. ”

Ergouzi insisted, "It's me who masterminded, and I'm going to steal something." ”

"It's me, you're stupid, you've been charged, and others don't believe it, so we can't both fold it in." The leopard had red eyes, a choked voice, and a little regretful, in order to make a lot of money, came to Jixiang Town to steal.

Now that he is in prison, the second dog is begging outside, and he can also support his younger brothers and sisters below.

Li Dabao saw these two people chattering crookedly, and retorted: "Stop acting, we won't believe it, and we won't sympathize with you." ”

"Wait!" Liu Pan'er saw that Village Chief Li was going to take people away, so she stopped her, "Leopard, how old are you this year?" ”

The leopard was puzzled, "If you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, ask so much what to do?" ”

Li Dabao snorted angrily, "Mother, these people don't know what to do, don't be confused by them and be deceived." ”

"Okay, I know, Dabao, don't talk yet." Liu Pan'er said softly, looking at the leopard, "I promised you just now, as long as you say it, I will pick you up and let you go, it's not fake, Da Zhuang, untie them." ”

Li Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, "Let go of them, these two people will run away, and it will be difficult to catch them again." ”

"I said let them go, and I let them go." Liu Pan'er frowned, her expression was serious, "Didn't you listen to my words?" ”

Li Dazhuang had good intentions, but when he saw that Liu Pan'er didn't appreciate it, he insisted on letting him go, and he didn't know what to do, "Village chief, is this a thief?" ”

Village Chief Li knew that Liu Pan'er had always been measured, and since he insisted on letting the two thieves go, he nodded, "Let it go, your sister-in-law should have other plans." ”

Li Dazhuang stepped forward and untied the leopard and the second dog.

The leopard and the second dog did not escape immediately after being loosened as Liu Pan'er imagined, he looked at Liu Pan'er vigilantly, "Why did you let us go?" ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, stood up, and looked at the leopard and the second dog, "Of course, because I am a good talker, I have already got what I want to know, and it doesn't make much sense to send the two of you to the official mansion, after all, the two of you still have to raise seven or eight orphans." When you two go to jail, those children become real beggars, and some of them may starve to death. ”

Li Dabao was stunned, "Mother, do you really believe them?" Don't you think they're lying to you? ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "I believe it, because I once saw a leopard and a second dog in the county seat, and I asked for some leftover steamed buns and meals from Zuixianlou, and then sent them to a small alley, and then those foods were distributed to the children." ”

"Huh?" Li Dabao was dumbfounded, "Maybe they are acting like giving food to those little beggars, but they don't eat it." ”

Liu Pan'er shook her head, "They also ate, and they ate with those children, and they ate very happily." ”

Liu Paner recognized that the leopard and the second dog were the two gangsters who had raised a lot of little beggars, so she didn't think about sending the leopard and the second dog to the government from the beginning.

When Village Chief Li heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, "Hey, they are all poor children, since this is the case, then we won't pursue it." Don't come to our village to steal in the future, next time I won't have such good luck. That is, Mrs. Drey's heart is kind-hearted and she can't bear to let those orphans be helpless. ”

When the leopard and the second dog saw that they gave up their positions, the two kept retreating and were about to run away.

Liu Pan'er knew that although these two people were talking cheaply, they were really not bad, "You left from me, and that shopkeeper Zhou won't let you go." After all, we have to deal with him, and they may not be able to do anything about us, but you and those homeless little beggars can see the miserable. ”

The leopard was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned his head sharply, looking at Liu Paner, "You are the lady of Dre who discovered the high-yield sweet potato?" His Majesty personally sealed it, and the county magistrate also treats you with special respect, but the king's book is deeply rooted in the county, and you can't touch him. There was once a county magistrate who wanted to move the king's book, but in the end he was framed for corruption and bribery, and silver was found under the bed of the county magistrate. The county magistrate was dismissed and went to prison, but the king's book is still fine. I also know that we can't stay in the county seat, and after I go back, my second dog and I will leave with our younger brothers and sisters, and we will always have something to eat when we go to other places. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded and chuckled, "Of course we won't act rashly, thank you for the reminder." Tell me, where did those kids come from? ”

Ergouzi's eyes were red, and he choked up and said: "I am Ergouzi, fourteen this year, and I have been with leopards since I can remember." Brother Leopard has a stutter, so he won't let me go hungry. ”

"We depend on each other for our lives, the younger brothers and sisters below, some of them fled from the north, their parents died, and their uncles and aunts didn't want to raise them, so they lost them; There is also the girl, who has been abandoned; I see that there is also a younger brother with six fingers, who was considered ominous by his family and abandoned. ”

Brother Leopard adopted these children, saying that since he had met them, he couldn't watch them die. Once a younger brother or sister was sick, and we spent all the money, but it was not enough to buy medicine, so Brother Leopard went to steal the money and was beaten half to death. Later, the younger brother was still not saved, and died, and Brother Leopard secretly cried in the middle of the night. My leopard brother is ugly and looks bad, but he actually has a good heart. If you report to the official, arrest me, don't arrest me Brother Leopard. ”

The leopard does have a bad face, but it has a good heart.

The leopard had red eyes and lowered its head.

He is useless and does not know how to make money to support his younger siblings below.

When Village Chief Li and the others heard Ergouzi's words, their hearts were greatly touched.

They are fleeing the famine, and on the way to escape the famine, it is too normal to encounter accidents. If it weren't for the cleverness of the Yuan Qing family, who led the villagers to overcome difficulties, perhaps their children would be like these little beggars who have no father and no mother.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Don't go anywhere else, after you go back to the county, don't stay long, bring your younger brothers and sisters over." Work in my house, and I will pay you. Then you will have a place to stay, and you will not have to beg everywhere. ”

Hearing this, the leopard jerked his head up and looked at Mrs. Drey, "Madam, is this trying to buy us people?" ”

"Are you willing to sell yourself into slavery?" Liu Paner was surprised, originally she only wanted to hire two street runners, Ergouzi and Leopard, who were very familiar with the county and were not bad, and wanted to help them and those homeless children.

The leopard thinks that his younger brothers and sisters are hungry and full, and they eat leftovers, and they have no place to live, and when it comes to winter, they will get sick, and some people can't stand it, and if they can find a good home, it is also a blessing for their younger brothers and sisters.

It is better to sell yourself into slavery than to starve to death and freeze to death.
