Chapter 5: I'm not saying that your mother is a brute
"Hey, didn't I walk around the streets and pick up goods to sell? Recently, there has been a big drought in the south, there is no water everywhere, many people are fleeing the famine, and it has not rained on our side for a long time, I want to climb over this mountain, I can go back to the village as soon as possible, I want everyone to prepare early, see if you can go, hurry up, don't be too late, everyone can't go! ”
"That's right, when I fetched water recently, the bucket couldn't fill enough, so I was looking forward to the rain! I didn't expect that the south side had already begun to flee the famine, so we ......"
"Li Niangzi, since you have already left the Shen family's wolf's den, let's hurry up and go to Fucheng! If you go early, you can find food on the road, if you go late, you will die of water alone. ”
Li Shi nodded when he heard this, "You are reasonable, we are going to Fucheng ourselves, so we will go to Fucheng without stopping!" ”
"That's good, you must be tired after walking for so long, there is a cave here where I often rest, you might as well rest here tonight, and then hurry tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, yes! Mother, my foot is about to break, let's rest in the cave for the night! The mountain road is very difficult to walk at night! ”
Shen Tan's cautious eyes came up, and he thought of how to send a letter to his cheap father.
"Then take a rest here and set off as soon as dawn comes."
There was a fire in the cave, and it was not cold, and the people soon fell asleep.
Shen Tan quietly opened his eyes, glanced at Song Sanshun who was guarding the entrance of the cave, and quietly crawled over to talk to him.
"Third Uncle Song, can I ask you for a favor?"
When Song Sanshun heard this, he said, "Do you want me not to tell others about what happened to you here today?" Don't worry, I won't say, what kind of life you have lived all these years, our whole village has watched! In the early years, I persuaded your mother to leave, she was reluctant to let you go, so she has not left, and now you have finally come out, as long as you find a good place to settle in the future, there will be a good life for you. ”
When Song Sanshun said this, his eyes quietly glanced at Li several times.
Shen Tan's eyes widened, his eyes were full of stars, this Third Uncle Song shouldn't have any thoughts about her cheap girl, right?
The little girl scratched her head in her brain, but she couldn't let her mother know Uncle Song's thoughts!
Otherwise, there is no hope for my father and mother to reconcile!
"Third Uncle Song, I want to trouble you to help me tell you about it when I get to the village, I used my mother's jade pendant to escape, and by the way, the value of that jade pendant."
Song Sanshun didn't understand why the little girl did this.
"I just don't want my mother to bear the infamy, I want my grandmother to expose the evil things she did to the world!"
Song Sanshun praised her for being smart and promised that he would talk about it.
……
Shen Lingxiao went back and forth and did not find Li's mother and son, and went to the county to report to the official that his mother and two children were lost.
The people in the county government are quite familiar with him, after all, he is a bounty hunter, and he often arrests Jiangyang thieves with a few brothers, and the government is a key criminal, and when he heard that he was looking for someone, he hurriedly asked him to paint a portrait.
Shen Lingxiao quickly drew the small portraits of Shen Tan and Shen Yi, and when he arrived at the Li family, his mind was full of the hideous when she plunged the dagger into his chest in the previous life.
"Seventh Master, Seventh Master, what's wrong with you? Why don't you use your pen? ”
There is a small group of seven people among the bounty hunters, and among them there are no names, only code names and orders.
Shen Lingxiao's code name is Xiaoying, the last in the ranking, and he is known as the Seventh Master.
"It's okay, the portrait of the lady won't be painted, and you can find her if you find the child."
Shen Lingxiao put down the pen and thought: If Sister Tan and Brother Yi can be recovered, and the Li family can't find it, it can be regarded as the right thing!
"It's really worthy of the famous Seventh Master Eagle among the bounty hunters, this is reasonable, I'll take it to the painter to paint more, you can rest assured, I promise that these portraits will be plastered all over the streets and alleys early tomorrow morning!
Shen Lingxiao nodded, took out a piece or two of silver and stuffed it over, "Youlao, please drink brothers." ”
"Seventh Master is polite, then I'll go."
As soon as it was dawn, Shen Lingxiao's temporary residence in the county seat was knocked on the door, and when the door was opened, there was a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face standing at the door.
"Big brother! There you are. ”
"I haven't heard of any Jiangyang thieves recently, and the court is going to commit them! Are you in a hurry to let us work together? ”
"It's not a criminal from the imperial court, let alone a Jiangyang thief, but a pair of my sons and daughters! They're gone. ”
"What? That twin of yours is missing? But over the years, you have arrested too many prisoners, and have you been retaliated against?
Oh, I said Lao Qi, I told you a long time ago, doing our business, the easiest is to make enemies, the enemies are all extremely vicious, you can't let your family know what you do, let alone expose the family, when did you show your heels? So that your children were kidnapped and taken revenge on you? ”
Shen Lingxiao hurriedly shook his head and explained: "It's not that the enemy is seeking revenge, but that something happened in the family, so that he left with the two children." ”
Shen Lingxiao immediately told Scar what he saw and heard when he went home, in fact, this is a family ugly, he shouldn't say it, but he has no other way now, they catch Jiang Yang thieves, and the court will analyze the details.
"How can this be, as far as I know, most of the money you get every time you arrest a prisoner is brought home to your younger siblings, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, how can she leave home when she has money by her side? And took a pair of your sons and daughters? ”
Scar thought about it, but there was nothing that made sense, so he asked, "What details do you still haven't said?" ”
Shen Lingxiao didn't speak.
"Oh, I said Seven, if you want to find someone, you can't hide something, do you want to regret it for life?"
The words of regret for life made Shen Lingxiao stunned for a while, so he also said the grass in Mrs. Shen's mouth.
Scar's mouth opened wide.
"How could a brother and sister stuff grass into your mother's mouth, it's something that animals eat!"
After speaking, he slapped himself again: "Oh, I didn't say that your mother is a brute, I mean that my brother and sister can treat your mother like this, it must mean something, there must be a hidden secret in it, you might as well go back and ask your mother quickly!" ”
Shen Lingxiao's head buzzed when he heard this, if there was really a secret, it didn't mean it......
"Big brother, you are here to help me keep an eye on the county government and wait for the results, and I will go back to my mother first to ask for clarification!"
I'm leaving.
Scar hurriedly stopped him: "You wait, I still have something to say, I went to the south this time, and found that there is a drought in the south, and many people have begun to move their families to flee the famine in Yangzhou City, in my opinion, you have also not rained here for several months, you still have to prepare early!" ”
Shen Lingxiao reached out and rubbed his head when he heard this, how could he forget about this matter, in the last life, after Sister Tan and Brother Yi were sold, all the counties, villages, towns and other places under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Mansion were in drought, and the Shen family also fled to Fucheng, he was in a hurry, and after several twists and turns, he was stunned that he did not find their sister and brother.
The streets and alleys of the county town are full of notices looking for people, Zhou's mother stood in front of the notice and twisted her eyebrows and thought, holding the jade pendant that Shen Tan gave her, the little girl of the Shen family, it is really unusual, in this case, her play, she will cooperate with it, it is good to get double the silver coin, but if you can't get this jade pendant, it is worth dozens of taels.
"Let's go, let's go to the Shen family to ask for someone."
