Near the riverside ferry.

It's rare to find a food stall nearby.

The riverside ferry was inaccessible after the rain and snow. A few passers-by were busy buying a hot snack. It's such a stall, but the business is lukewarm.

Sheng'er didn't notice that Young Master Jiang Cheng was quietly looking around, and in order to add some heat to herself, she also squeezed in and bought a few so-so small cakes.

Recently, a few small teams of gold miners have come to ferry to the other side of the river to start their business in the spring.

They themselves do not have ships. You can board a Japanese ship or pay a Japanese fee.

A few Japanese soldiers in yellow skins were curled up in the cold, checking the past documents they each carried.

Do you want to cross the river recently?

Young Master Jiang Cheng couldn't help frowning.

So he was going to change his horse as much as he could on this side of the river, and then go over when he had the documents to cross the river. lest they be detected by the Japanese soldiers and thrown into the river halfway.

Although he is a skilled swimmer, he doesn't want to be contaminated with cold water in such a cold weather, so he doesn't do anything......

Sheng'er's task on this trip is to find the person in the painting according to the mysterious portrait provided by the eldest lady, and then hand over a few hidden and unpredictable characters to him.

Before coming, the eldest lady also said that in the previous tasks, different servants were sent each time, but they were not effective. If Sheng'er can complete the task on time, it can be used for a long time, and even the eldest wife can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life......

Such a condition is actually not attractive to Sheng'er. She cared about the portrait itself, this person seemed to be dignified and not very old, but how could he contact the eldest lady of Qifu and make a hidden deal? And these hidden characters, she quietly copied and sent someone to the master of the Lan family's team, Old Man Lan, to send them over, and the master was puzzled.

It seems that the eldest lady of Qifu is really hidden and cunning.

......

Jiang Cheng calmly observed and understood the surrounding environment, and he wanted to familiarize himself with everything here as soon as possible. In his spare time, he still didn't forget to sneak a glimpse of Sheng'er's face.

This kind of woman is indeed one in a hundred. He has seen beautiful people, but he is not as heroic as her, and he has seen smart people who take care of the home, but he is not like her who follows and investigates, not to mention that she is a woman.

If it weren't for the fact that Qifu was kind to her, or she was out of curiosity? She tracked her whereabouts that day, as a maid, how could she work harder than the housekeeper of Qifu, and this responsible attitude made Jiang Cheng suspicious......

Neighborhood.

A child, hungry, his father was a businessman who carried sacks, but business was bleak in winter. This kid didn't have a meal.

The child was really hungry today, so he came out without permission, intending to steal food, so he mixed behind Sheng'er and followed her closely, trying to bump her and steal the food from her hands.

Unexpectedly, that stall has more cakes, and it seems that it is more readily available than hitting people and taking things...... He kept his saliva and dared to go to the stall, thinking that no one was paying attention, so he touched a cake and ran.

Since the owner of the stall dared to do business under the noses of the Japanese army, he must have some background. Seeing this person, he was burly, strong, and stood like a pine, as if he had been trained.

He quickly noticed the child's actions, so he walked out of the stall, and after a distance of ten steps, he took the child down like a cat catching a mouse. While snatching back his bread, he pushed the child to the ground. Stick out his thick thighs and kick them when they come over.

A few Japanese soldiers on the side crossed their arms and looked at this side as if they were lively. They won't care about beating people, they just have nothing to do, and it's too late to be happy......

"You little broken child, stealing my family's things? Isn't your father just the old man who resisted the sack by the river? Your family still owes me money and still steals my bread today? ”

A few feet down, the child howled and cried, and blood stains appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"I don't dare anymore, uncle, spare me, I'm really hungry......"

But despite the child's pleading, the man still came out ruthlessly.

The passers-by on the side couldn't get used to it, and a few well-meaning people came over to dissuade them.

"I haven't eaten the bread, but when I bring it back, don't beat it again." ”

But if the man does not listen.

Young Master Jiang Cheng saw it nearby, and immediately realized that this person was Master Longda of the Feida Martial Arts Pavilion.

Recently, there are few winter students in the martial arts hall, and business is bleak, and it is estimated that he will come out to make cakes and eat, I am afraid it is also a helpless move.

But you can't just take this child out of anger just because the business is bleak, and if he is seriously injured, won't it make his father even worse?

Jiang Cheng touched his pocket, and the coins in it were estimated to make this Longda master temporarily stop. So he planned to enter a stalemate and get the child out.

He walked a few steps quickly, but he saw a gust of wind in front of him like the fragrance of flowers passing, and Sheng'er walked ahead of him.

"Old thief, stop it! Isn't it embarrassing enough to be strong and weak here?!"

Her words seemed to strike at Ronda's nerves. He closed his legs and looked at it, and saw that it was a girl like a flower, and then the anger just now seemed to have been reduced by half.

After a few glances, he recognized it. "Yo, who should I be so bold and dare to scold me Longda? It turns out that it is the Qi family? Your eldest wife is okay? Why is Miss Lansheng free today and comes here to meddle in her affairs. It's okay to let him go, if you can follow me to the martial arts hall to sit down......" Then he put on his face with bad intentions.

A few Japanese soldiers nearby lowered their arms, and when they saw such beauties, they no longer seemed to want to stand idly by, so a certain one snatched them up with a chief.

"This little girl is kind enough to do something wrong, and under their noses, she still talks too much. Jiang Cheng immediately followed. He didn't have the urge to watch the excitement.

When the Japanese soldiers saw Sheng'er's beauty, they immediately took two more looks. Jiang Cheng has an indescribable taste.

The man with the gun then walked up to Sheng'er and asked her to show her the document in Chinese, which she was not fluent in. She didn't.

She is just here to look for people, and she does not cross the river. The eldest lady said that she was waiting here. It's a pity that half an hour has passed, and I haven't found anyone with the same face as the person in the portrait...... But I met the people who went out to eat in the martial arts hall of Longda, which was really a bad scenery.

Long Da is a good friend of the Japanese soldiers, she knows. I don't know what the Japanese soldiers want to defend him at this moment? Showing the documents is a joke.

"This woman is suspected of interfering with the order of the riverside ferry, and Taijun should give her a punishment. Ronda said in Japanese with bad intentions.

The Japanese nodded, and then Long Da came up with a tiger's eye, wanting to plot against the public.
