The lock of Ji Xiaoduo's courtyard has been smashed, and the seal of the county government is still attached to the door.

When the official arrested her in the teahouse, he was not bluffing, they really came to her house.

Ji Xiaoduo directly tore the seal and went in.

Zhao Mingxuan sent her back, and the county government must not be doing anything better.

The door inside was empty, and the room was a bit messy, apparently overturned.

Ji Xiaoduo's heart sank slightly, and she hurriedly checked her belongings first.

Fortunately, a few of her silver tickets were well hidden and were not found, but a few pieces of broken silver and copper coins in the small box at the bedside were missing, and I don't know who led the sheep.

Ji Xiaoduo's hands trembled with anger, he really didn't know whether those people were officials or thieves.

But he can only grit his teeth and eat this loss.

What else could she do?

If she hadn't borrowed Zhao Mingxuan's power, how would she, an ordinary folk girl, be able to take the county government's officials? Not to mention getting it back, she wouldn't even be able to find out who took it.

But Zhao Mingxuan just told her to "get out".

Even if she hadn't, she had just rejected him like that, and she was embarrassed to open it again.

She was too tired to think more.

Anyway, I'll stay for one night and wait until dawn.

Ji Xiaoduo lay on the bed, didn't even take off her clothes, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Ji Xiaoduo felt that she hadn't slept for long at all, and was awakened by the movement at the door.

The courtyard door was broken, she didn't care, she only bolted the door before going to bed last night, and then used the table against it.

At this moment, I heard someone walking around in the yard.

Ji Xiaoduo quietly got up and looked out through the crack in the door.

It was already faintly white, and a tall man was carrying a stick and walked in cautiously.

It turned out to be Du Qiao.

Ji Xiaoduo breathed a sigh of relief, moved the table away, and opened the door to go out.

When Du Qiao heard the voice, he turned his head to look over, first stunned for a moment, and then greeted him in surprise, and said excitedly: "Miss Ji, are you back?" ”

"Brother Du. Ji Xiaoduo smiled, "Why did you come here so early?"

Du Qiao blushed slightly and scratched his head, "I just passed by to take a look, and saw that the seal was broken and the door was open, so I was afraid of entering the thief's ......."

The thief really entered, but he ...... When he told Du Qiao about this kind of thing, he had no choice, it only added to his troubles, Ji Xiaoduo didn't mention it, and only thanked him.

"No, no, I really didn't help much. Du Qiao hurriedly waved his hand, his face was ashamed, "When I came over yesterday, the yard had been sealed, and I ...... I went over the wall and took a look, and I cleaned up what I could, but I really don't know if there was any loss......"

Ji Xiaoduo glanced at the wall, it is indeed not high, not to mention Du Qiao, even if she used to do it, she could probably turn it over with her strength, no wonder Du Qiao said that he wanted to give her a dog when he first came.

It was too late yesterday, and she didn't pay much attention to it, but after looking around, she found that except for the change, the dim sum made in the kitchen and the beef that she had been marinating before she left were gone.

Ji Xiaoduo was simply dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say indignantly: "Are these servants all starving ghosts reincarnated?"

Du Qiao's face was even more embarrassed, and he said sneeringly: "I'm sorry ......"

"Ah, I'm not blaming you. Ji Xiaoduo came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Brother Du can come over and help me take a look, I'm already grateful, probably they also thought I was a murderer and couldn't come back." Forget it, the people don't fight with the officials, so I feed the dogs. ”

Speaking of dogs, Du Qiao said again: "Xiao Hei, I'll bring it back, and I'll send it to you later?"

Ji Xiaoduo thought for a while and said, "Thank you Brother Du this time, I'll go to visit your aunt and cousin later......" She raised her hand to stop Du Qiao, who was about to excuse herself, "In the final analysis, it can be regarded as borrowing your cousin's favor, and I should come to thank you." ”

At least, if it weren't for Li An's relationship, Du Qiao would not have been able to go to the prison to bring her food, and no one in the middle would have said anything to interrupt, and her time in prison would have been even more difficult.

Ji Xiaoduo is really grateful.

Du Qiao ran for her this time, even if he said that he was willing not to ask for anything in return, Ji Xiaoduo would not be able to accept it for granted.

He himself may not want her thank-you gift, but he still has family.

When she said this, Du Qiao was not very good at making decisions for his cousin's family, so he could only nod his head.

After Du Qiao left, Ji Xiaoduo went to wash and change clothes, and was sitting in front of the mirror combing his hair, when Mo Li rushed in with a gust of wind.

"Sister!"

He shouted happily, opened his arms and hugged Ji Xiaoduo tightly.

Ji Xiaoduo was taken aback by surprise, but before she could call out, she heard a familiar voice, felt a familiar breath, and suddenly turned into joy. "Moli, why are you back?"

Mo Li just hugged her and didn't let go.

Ji Xiaoduo was even a little painful by him, and patted his hand, "Ah, lightly." ”

Mo Li lightened his strength, but he still hugged her and didn't let go, and called out again, "Sister." It can be seen that he actually wants to rub it again, but he forcibly held it back and said aggrievedly: "I'm afraid." ”

Ji Xiaoduo's heart softened, and she reached out and touched his head, "It's okay." Don't be afraid. ”

Mo Li leaned his head over and leaned against her, "Don't separate." ”

Ji Xiaoduo didn't want to be separated from him either.

But......

"Didn't you say that you were going to learn the skills to protect your sister?just wait another year......" Ji Xiaoduo had a little headache when he thought about the debt that had become four thousand taels, but he still comforted Mo Lidao, "When my sister pays back the money, we will go away and fly away, live in another place, be together every day, and never be separated." ”

Mo Li didn't speak again.

Ji Xiaoduo asked again: "Why did you come back today? Zhao Mingxuan asked you to come back, or did you sneak back by yourself?"

Mo Li said: "Hong Hu, slow, back." ”

He relied on himself to run fast and left Hong Hu behind.

Ji Xiaoduo was a little helpless, "Don't do this next time, people will bring you back, and you will follow them honestly." ”

Mo Li responded, but said, "I want to see my sister, but I'm worried about my sister." ”

Ji Xiaoduo touched his head again, "Okay, let go." My sister's hair hasn't been combed yet, and it's not good for Hong Hu to be seen by him after a while. ”

Mo Li let go of his hand, but took her comb again, "I'll help my sister comb it." ”

Ji Xiaoduo was a little helpless, but he felt that if he said such a complete thing, he had to mess around.

turned out to be pleasantly surprised to find that Mo Li's craftsmanship was better than her.

Since she left Baihualou, she hasn't combed any complicated hairstyles, either weaving them into braids, or more simply, just pulling a big bun.

At this time, Mo Li quickly combed her with a beautiful Feixian bun, just like the one Qu Fan had combed her earlier.

Obviously, this little fool didn't know when he saw the qu powder comb for her, so he copied it.

Ji Xiaoduo was so happy that she praised Mo Li again and again, "Mo Li, you are so amazing, you have been surprising me all the time." What kind of treasure boy did I pick up?"

Mo Li was also very happy, his eyes were shining. "I'm happy to be able to help my sister. ”

Ji Xiaoduo couldn't help but be happy when she saw him like this, and even felt that the troubles and grievances that had come one after another these days had been alleviated.

She touched the boy's head again, "Meeting you is probably the only thing worth it for me to come here." I'm also very happy. ”
