"Don't look at me like that."

Facing Xia Lingge's undisguised strange gaze, Ah Liang turned his face away from her gaze, "Second Young Grandma's orders, how can I slack off?" ”

Xia Lingge retracted his eyes, picked up the burden handed over, and said softly: "No need to explain, you can go back." ”

And she has more important things to do.

……

'Tap-tap-'

The chaotic and heavy footsteps behind him never stopped, Xia Lingge threw the burden in his arms to the branches of the trees in the distance, and he hid behind the wall diagonally opposite, stabilized his mind and held his breath, breathed lightly and waited quietly for the people behind him to approach.

"What about people?"

"In the blink of an eye, where did the little girl go?"

There were many people who came to chase her, but compared to the reckless men in the third week, these people were obviously much more shrewd and capable.

They soon found that the target seemed to be lost, and immediately searched around with a lantern, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the location where she was hiding, Xia Lingge shrank up more and more, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.

"Come on!"

Suddenly a shout attracted everyone's attention, and the two people who were about to find her also turned around and ran over.

The person who shouted was the one who found the burden discarded by Xia Lingge, and there was nothing missing in it, but he just didn't see a figure.

"I guess I can't really chase it, right?"

"She's a little girl, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be able to run far."

The consul raised his hand to interrupt their discussion, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "We will divide into two roads, and we will chase along this road all the way, but if you see someone you don't need to say much, you will start immediately, and the other person will follow me and go to the place where the eldest young master has ordered." ”

"Yes."

The group immediately split into two directions.

Xia Lingge hid in the shadows and breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the crowd walking back again, bent over and followed them as lightly as a kitten.

They stopped in front of a gambling house.

The group walked in without hesitation. Xia Lingge hid behind the wall and waited quietly, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a man with a depressed body and a thin face to be thrown out by them, and the consul stood at the front, holding a stick in his hand and unceremoniously pointing at the tip of the man's nose: "Say!" Where are you hiding people? ”

"W-Who ......?"

The man who was thrown to the ground had obviously not recovered from the extreme gamble of winning and losing, and he looked at the people in front of him at first a little dazed, and then a little afraid.

"Don't fuck me bullshit!" The consul stepped on the man's face, rubbed it vigorously, and said viciously, "Pretend, pretend!" If it weren't for your good daughter, wouldn't Lao Tzu toss back and forth at night without sleeping! ”

"Daughter?"

The man's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he didn't understand who the daughter in his mouth was, and he blinked his eyes for a long time before he reacted: "You mean my unfilial daughter?" She...... She has already been sold to Hualou by me, if you like to find her directly, just look for her, it's a big deal that you report my name directly after you go, she doesn't charge money. ”

"Phew!"

The consul spat in his face: "Shameless shit, you dare to say such a thing." ”

The person behind asked, "Boss, what ...... he?"

The consul frowned: "I don't know anything, let's go, go back and look for it." ”

The group of people came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.

And the old man Yang sat up with his body propped up, and looked at the back of the group of people leaving, and spat fiercely: "A group of bullying dogs can't even look at a woman, and they come to disturb Lao Tzu's pastime!" ”

He trembled and wanted to go back to the gambling house, but was pushed back by the doorkeeper: "Let's go, what do you want to do with the money if you lose it early?!" ”

Yang Laohan smiled: "Again, one more game, maybe I will turn the tables in the next game." ”

"Let's go! Walk! ”

"Uh......"

Yang Laohan was pushed to the ground again, the door of the gambling house was closed again, and he got up and held on to the wall and walked back.

Xia Lingge hesitated, but still followed him.

It was a messy and dilapidated house, only supported by load-bearing walls, there was no light in the room at all, the strong smell was mixed with the smell of wine, Yang Laohan picked up a wooden scoop and scooped up the wine in the wine tank, snorted excitedly, and then went to sleep at the end.

"Father?"

The soft voice frightened Yang Laohan, he got up and rubbed his eyes, looking at the girl standing in front of the door, the girl's figure was hidden in the darkness, only a pair of eyes were amazingly bright, like a piercing cold star with cold fierceness.

Yang Laohan was stunned, "You, you are ......"

Xia Lingge took a few steps forward, revealing his face in the light.

"You ......"

Yang Laohan stared at her face for a while, and suddenly said, "You are Pan'er, what are you doing when you don't stay in the flower building and run back?" It's a shame to walk around. ”

"It turns out that my father also knows that it is a shame."

Xia Lingge heard him call her 'Pan'er', but for a while she didn't know if it was her original full name or nickname, "I thought that my gambling father had already fed his shame to the dog." ”

"You unfilial daughter, what do you say!"

Old man Yang raised his eyebrows coldly, and pointed at her hand and trembled a little angrily.

Xia Lingge ignored his vicious eyes, took a few steps forward and asked, "Unfilial?" Where am I not filial, but you are the father, I was sold by you to the flower house for money, and I was tortured inhumanely, do you know everything I have suffered? ”

"Why should I know." Yang Laohan's eyebrows were hideous, "You are my daughter, if I want to sell you, I will sell you, if I want to exchange money, I will exchange money, no matter what I suffer, I have to suffer for Lao Tzu, you know!" ”

He took a few steps forward: "A few people just came to the door of the gambling house to block me and said that I was looking for you!" Hurry up and go back to Lao Tzu, what if they come to Lao Tzu to ask for money! ”

Xia Lingge shook off his hand: "You are really a waste." ”

"What did you say?!"

Yang Laohan was annoyed and angry, and stretched out his hand to slap her. But before his palm could fall, it was interrupted by a crisp applause.

The snow-white robe was dyed with a rich dull color in the dark night, and the balls on his fingertips kept turning to make his skin more like a high-grade mutton fat jade, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Lingge and Yang Laohan, waved his hand, and immediately two people stepped forward to suppress them and knelt on the ground.

"You...... You ......"

Yang Laohan was stupid by this situation, and most of his alcohol was sober.

Wen Youliang walked into the house, frowned and waved the smell of the smell of stench and wine in the air, someone lit two more candles and placed them on the table in the room, the light and shadow were sufficient, and the already empty room was reflected even more strangely.

"You, you are the eldest young master of the Wen family......"

Old Man Yang's wine was completely sober this time, and he looked at the white-robed man sitting on the wooden chair, his emaciated face full of shock.

Xia Lingge looked at Wen Youliang without surprise: "Young Master, why are you here?" ”
