Later, Chen Youniao also left the bookstore with Wangcai, and when he arrived on the street, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a fast horse galloped over.

Here, it is a bustling and lively street market, where people come and go.

Sure enough, the pedestrians were frightened, and the chickens and dogs jumped and quickly hid to the side to make way for them.

Gotta get it!

Three fast horses, all knights on the horse are in leather armor, and a red bird feather is stuck in the light helmet.

"It's the Eagle Scout!"

Wangcai exclaimed.

Chen Youniao asked him, "Do you know?"

Wangcai hurriedly said: "Back to the young master, this is the person in charge of emergency interrogation in the Overseer's yamen, there should be something big happening." ”

I see, Chen Youniao nodded slightly. This newly acquired servant is really a bag of inquirers, miscellaneous things, and knows a lot.

As the three horses ran past, the market slowly returned to its original state.

It has been nearly a month since I returned to Haidai County, except for a few times to find a restaurant nearby, I have not really walked around the city, lack of understanding, just came out today, Chen Youniao is ready to take advantage of his free time, to take a walk around the city, to see the local people and customs. After all, I may have to live here for a long time in the future.

Haidai County is really not small, there are nine large blocks, the Chen clan's settlement is located in one of the blocks, and the house where Chen Youniao currently lives certainly belongs to this block, but the location is remote, which is the middle of the block.

It is said that there are tens of thousands of households in such a block alone, and the streets and alleys are crisscrossed like a spider's web. The huge county town is equivalent to nine such nets united together, and the area can be imagined.

It's really a bustling city.

Of course, for Chen Youniao, who has seen a truly modern metropolis, there is not much surprise in this.

Unfortunately, the transportation commission of this world is really not very convenient, horse-drawn carriages are already a luxury means of transportation, and many people can only rely on two legs to travel. It takes a long journey and several months to reach your destination.

Therefore, most of the ordinary people have been nesting in their hometowns all their lives, and it is a rare experience to be able to enter the county seat, which can be boasted of for decades.

The dynasty had thirty-six county seats, and under the jurisdiction of each county town, there were a number of county seats, and as for the towns and villages, there were countless and scattered all over the place.

Chen Youniao can imagine how congested and backward life in those villages will be. In comparison, being born in the county is already a good starting point. He is not here to be compassionate, but he has been clearly understood.

The county town is not small, and if you want to walk around, it is impossible to complete it overnight, but for the neighborhood where you are located, you can barely do it.

Chen Youniao is not in a hurry, and the future is long.

"Tsk!"

was walking aimlessly, and Wangcai, who was following behind him, suddenly had a slurp in his mouth, as if he was sighing something.

Chen Youniao glanced sideways at him.

Wangcai hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Young master, look over there, there is a little girl." ”

Chen Youniao looked at his pointing and couldn't help but be stunned.

The street was originally full of people, men, women and children, and the crowd was bustling and chaotic. The girl stood on the side of the street, alone, about eight or nine years old, dressed in plain clothes, and looked like a hibiscus out of the water.

What a pretty little girl!

Not only beautiful, but also has an extraordinary cleanliness and ethereal temperament.

In the ancient world, the productivity was not high, and the people's living standards were just like that, and they were already satisfied with being able to eat and clothe themselves, and in addition to the rich and noble classes, who would pay attention to the quality of food and clothing? Many people were dressed simply, sewing and mending, and the frequency of changing and washing was not high, so it was inevitable that they would look dirty.

The clothes on this little girl's body don't look expensive, they are ordinary white linen, but when you wear it on her, it looks different.

It's a weird feeling.

Chen Youniao is also a person who reads people, he has been a man in two lives and has seen the world, but now when he sees this little girl, he can't help but sigh, he really responds to the saying "appearance is justice".

Wangcai said in a low voice: "Young master, this little girl is mostly lost and lost, and when she appears on the street, she will suffer." ”

Chen Youniao was stunned, and after careful observation, he found that the little girl was standing there, looking confused, and looking at a loss, which made people feel pity, and couldn't help but ask: "If you get lost, you get lost, why do you have to suffer?"

Wangcai said: "She has been targeted, young master, although the street looks prosperous and lively, it is also mixed, and many people who are indiscriminate here beg for a living, thieves, liars, splashers, traffickers, etc. ”

When Chen Youniao heard this, he immediately understood. Looking around, I immediately saw two men sneakily approaching the little girl. They were so good that they didn't do it right away, but observed the environment to make sure that the little girl had no relatives around.

"Young Master, let's go. ”

Wangcai said.

Chen Youniao asked, "What will happen to this little girl after she is arrested?"

Wangcai replied honestly: "Those people are all in a gang, after catching the child, they often ask the origin first, if it is a local rich child, they will send people back to receive a reward; if it is a common person, then it is unlucky, the child is good-looking, will be sold to other people's families; these are all good, many children, directly broken hands and feet, disfigured, poisoned and dumb, thrown into the street to become beggars, every day the money, is taken away by the people who control." As for this little girl, if she looks smart, she will most likely be sold to the Spring Building. ”

Chen Youniao knew the meaning of "Spring Building", and sneered: "Wangcai, you are clear." ”

Wangcai hurriedly explained: "Young master, I used to mess around on the streets, but I just heard about these things, but I have never done them. ”

Actually, he wanted to do it, but he hadn't done it yet. You must know that to be a bad person, you must also pay attention to qualifications and levels. But now that he is with Chen Youniao, he belongs to a pure white family, so he naturally will not do these hurtful things again, for fear that Chen Youniao will blame him, so he quickly cleared up.

Chen Youniao snorted, and saw that the two men had already approached the little girl, and they were about to start, but the little girl was still standing there alone, unaware of the danger. He sighed, and finally couldn't help but walk away.

Wangcai was stunned for a moment and persuaded: "Young master, don't meddle in your affairs, these are all vicious people, and they are not easy to provoke." It's provoked, it's in trouble. ”

Chen Youniao said: "There is something to do, since you have encountered it, how can you stand by and watch?"

Wangcai touched his head, thinking that his young master was not an ordinary person, and there should be no problem in this nossy matter, so he didn't say more.

Chen Youniao came straight to the little girl, and soon the two men found out, they stopped and looked at her in disbelief: Chen Youniao looked young and dressed in ordinary clothes......

"Sister, it turns out that you are here, but my brother can find you miserable. ”

Chen Youniao said to the little girl with a smile on his face.

When the two men heard this, they were immediately annoyed and disappointed, thinking that the little girl's relatives had come over. In this case, it's not easy to start. was about to leave, but the next moment, one of the men was more clever, and found that the little girl had no normal interaction between brother and sister for Chen Youniao, who came over, and was still standing there sluggishly, as if she didn't know Chen Youniao.

"Hey, there's a problem!"

The man stood still, reached out and touched his waist, where there was a bulging knife hidden.
