Chapter 425: The Retrieved Child
Steward Liu pouted, and a family member followed quietly, and Wu Erlang patted Wu Sanlang on the shoulder: "Let's follow and have a look."
Wu Sanlang was not immersed in the excitement just now, his mouth was wide open, and saliva was flowing out.
Wu Erlang was helpless, and patted his little head again, and Wu Sanlang came back to his senses: "I want to worship him as a teacher!"
Wu Saburo didn't just talk about it, he rolled up his sleeves and bent down to roll up his trouser legs.
Wu Erlang was puzzled: "What are you doing here?"
"My master is gone, I'm going to chase him!"
Wu Sanlang's little arm shook, and he chased after him, but was dragged by Wu Erlang: "Don't worry, someone is watching, let's follow quietly."
Wu Sanlang was stunned, and looked around, Wu Erlang glanced in one direction, and at this moment, Wu Sanlang also saw it, it was the Liu family!
"If you give the money, you still have to follow people, do you regret it, and you want to snatch the money back?"
Wu Sanlang's little head thought of something simple and direct, Wu Erlang shook his head: "They are not short of these dozens of taels of silver, they want people."
Wu Sanlang didn't understand for a while, he had only heard of robbing people's girls on the street, but the master was not a big girl, what did the people of the Liu family want him to do?
Between the two of them talking, they followed not far away, there was a forest outside the Lifu field, Liu Aniu turned left and right, and after a while, he threw the Liu family far away, but he didn't expect that the praying mantis was catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, except for the family, there were other people staring at him.
Liu Aniu walked through the streets and alleys, and finally walked into a remote alley, Wu Erlang and Wu Sanlang did not follow up, there was a small stall selling jujube cakes near the alley, the jujube cakes that had just been steamed out, the pine cake cakes, sweet and fragrant, Wu Sanlang was hungry when he smelled it, Wu Erlang was also seduced by the smell of jujube cakes and couldn't walk, others bought it and left, and the two of them sat under the wall and ate it.
The old grandmother who sold jujube cakes saw that the little brothers were cleanly dressed and looked good, and she had a good feeling: "You eat more, I will eat five jujube cakes and get one free."
Wu Sanlang's eyes lit up: "Eat ten, can you send three?"
The old grandmother thought to herself, with the small body of the two of you, it would be great to be able to eat ten, and give three away, can you eat it?
"Send, eat ten and get three free, but the jujube cake should be hot to eat."
Wu Sanlang grinned and rushed towards ten!
Wu Erlang stopped eating one, and he chatted with his grandmother: "Grandma, are all homeless people living in this alley?"
"What kind of homeless person, you little boy is good-looking, why can't you speak", the old grandmother was unhappy, "My family is here, and the people who live here are all old neighbors for decades, a good place, can you let the homeless live?"
Wu Erlang looked aggrieved: "It's really not me talking nonsense, just the one who went in just now, carrying a big cloth bag, isn't he a homeless?" I've seen him in Lifuchang, not a homeless? Who will go there to find work for the local people in Qinzhou?"
The old grandmother frowned, and her gray eyebrows moved: "The one in the back pocket just now? You're talking about the nephew of the old Liu family, he's not a homeless, he's here to join his relatives, what kind of homeless person is he?"
"Hey, it turns out that he is still a relative, hehe", Wu Erlang disdainful, "It seems that his relatives are really not good, they don't even give them enough food, forcing people to sell coolies, is this a relative?" This is the creditor."
"Hey, hey, you little boy from out of town, why can't you speak, the old Liu family is the most benevolent, why did you force him to sell coolies, yesterday I saw the old Liu family buy a big piece of meat, be good to him, but there are no things you said."
As soon as the old grandmother's words fell, Wu Sanlang stretched out his hand to her: "Eat ten and get three, grandma, I ate nine, my brother ate one, and we ate ten."
The old grandmother was stunned and couldn't believe it, but she had just given them ten, and in just a few words, this kid had eaten them all?
Wu Erlang took out twenty yuan and put it all in front of the grandmother, and the grandmother was startled, twenty yuan is enough to buy twenty
Jujube cake.
"Just give him three, and the rest will be yours." Wu Erlang smiled, with an uneasy and kind face.
The old grandmother hesitated, but she still put all the twenty dollars into the money bag, she was an old bone, was she still afraid that these two little boys would abduct her and sell her?
The fact is that the grandmother thought too much, she was not abducted, she was not sold, she just told everything she knew.
The family is really surnamed Liu, although they have settled in Qinzhou for 18 years, they are not Qinzhou locals, but from other places, as for where it is from other places, the old grandmother does not know, her old man has never been out of Qinzhou City in her life, and she can't remember the names of places in other places.
When the Liu family first came to Qinzhou, it was the eldest brother and sister-in-law and the second brother, they came to find the child, the son of the eldest Liu was lost, and the one who stole the child was an aunt of the family, according to the aunt's confession, the child was bought by a person with a Qinzhou accent, so the two brothers lived in Qinzhou, there was a year of the Qinzhou plague, the brother and sister-in-law all died, leaving only the second brother, and then later, the second brother married a wife and gave birth to a daughter, but never stopped looking for a nephew, all the money earned over the years was spent on finding someone.
I searched for eighteen years, and found several children before and after, one of whom was still raised in his house for a few days, and finally determined that none of these were the children of the Liu family.
Last year, Liu Lao Er had an illness, he was worried that he would not be able to find his nephew until he died, so he had no shame to go down to see his brother and sister-in-law, so he smashed the pot and sold iron, and borrowed what he could borrow again, and finally made up a huge amount of money and asked someone to invite a guest.
Finding customers is very expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people like them can afford, not to mention that over the years, in order to find their nephews, the Liu family has been surrounded by four walls.
But there is a valuable value, a month ago, Liu Baochang, who had grown up, was finally found.
Liu Lao Erzai carefully interrogated several times, and then looked at the scar marks on Liu Baochang's body, and finally determined that this was the lost child of their old Liu family.
Liu Baochang was found in Henan, and according to Liu Baochang's recollection, he was first sold to Qinzhou and later resold to Henan.
"His name is Liu Baochang, not Liu Aniu?" Wu Erlang asked curiously.
"What's Liu Ah Niu, people's name is Baochang, the name of the rich and noble, isn't it louder than that Ah Niu?" The old woman said.
Wu Erlang silently wrote down the address of this alley and took Wu Sanlang back to the inn.
As soon as they went for most of the day, Sister Wu was about to ask someone to find them.
Seeing them come back, Sister Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "This morning, Xiao Li's younger brother, the one who helped her take care of the shop, went to the official school to find Wei Gongzi, and Wei Gongzi gave him a few taels of silver."
Wei Gongzi, Wei Qian, Xiao Li's younger brother, that is Wei Qian's brother-in-law, the brother-in-law asked his brother-in-law for money to spend, it seems to be reasonable, but for some reason, Wu Erlang just felt that something was wrong.
