Cao De glared at the two men and quickly left.

The two men were about to give chase, but stopped when they saw the policeman with a baton in the distance.

"That woman seems to be pregnant, if only..."

The two whispered to each other.

As Cao De and Pang Niu walked to the corner, they stood against the wall, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Let's go straight back to the village!" Cao De had no intention of going to the hospital.

You can also go to the local clinic to check if you are pregnant.

The chubby girl didn't say anything, but felt uncomfortable all over and very stuffy.

at the same time,

Tiger and Aunt Huang came to the county to buy ready-made clothes.

The two were having lunch at a street vendor's stall, with an old woman picking out vegetables to sell next to them.

Tiger ate what was in his bowl, but his eyes were looking around.

"You have no manners when eating out!" Aunt Huang raised her hand and slapped him on the head, scolding him.

Tiger wolfed down the meat buns in his bowl and then ate a bowl of porridge.

He patted his stomach and said with a smile, "The rice outside is really sweet; the owner must have added sugar."

Aunt Huang glared at him, speechless.

To children, even the water on the street tastes exceptionally sweet.

Tiger was already used to his mother's nagging, and his round eyes looked out at the street.

There were fruit vendors, melon vendors, and shoe insoles...

There were so many people coming and going on the street that he couldn't keep up with them all.

"Mother, the county is much more lively than the town."

"Look, there's even the Beggars' Sect..." Tiger's eyes shone, his cheeks were flushed from the sun, and he grinned.

Aunt Huang: "What? The Beggars' Sect?"

"What are you and that Li family boy reading all day long, and what strange things are you muttering all day long?"

"The Beggars' Sect is a group of beggars, aren't those two?" Tiger asked excitedly.

He really wanted to run over and ask if the Beggars' Sect really existed.

I've been hearing a lot about the older brother from the Li family lately; he dreams of joining a gang.

That way I can learn powerful martial arts in the future.

“Those are all fake!” Aunt Huang reached out and tapped Tiger’s forehead.

A gathering of beggars? Isn't that just a group of people begging for food?

If there were other ways to survive, who would want to be a beggar?

Tiger glared at her, pouting and ignoring her.

He kept his eyes on the two beggars, and when he saw his mother go to pay, he immediately ran to the beggars.

"Are you from the Beggars' Sect? Can I join? I can get a helper's bowl..." Tiger looked at the two expectantly.

He waited for a while but received no response, so he simply squatted down, looked at the ants crawling on the steamed bun in the broken bowl, and swallowed hard.

"Tiger..." Aunt Huang called out, and upon seeing him, she quickly ran over and grabbed his wrist.

When she saw the two people clearly, her pupils contracted, and she grabbed Hu Zi and turned to leave.

"I want to join the Beggars' Sect..." Tiger pulled her hand, and they were about to sit down.

Aunt Huang's eyelids twitched, and she slapped him on the back, cursing.

"If you keep causing trouble, you can forget about going out with me again."

She usually spoils children, but she never hesitates to discipline them when necessary.

Those two beggars were definitely not ordinary people; they looked like adult men at first glance, but were only as tall as children.

Tiger looked back at the two beggars every few steps.

He didn't know that the two beggars hadn't initially targeted him, but they recognized Aunt Huang.

Furthermore, they knew he lived next door to the Lin family.

…

Two days later.

Lin Ziyan and her two younger sisters make goat milk soap at home.

Jiaojiao rested her chin on her little hand and asked, "Sister, what is the Beggars' Sect?"

Her eyes blinked, full of confusion.

Xiaoxiao was helping with the unmolding when she looked up at Lin Ziyan.

"How would Jiaojiao know about the Beggars' Sect?" Lin Ziyan asked suspiciously.

This is a gang from a wuxia novel, and this novel shouldn't have been introduced to mainland China yet.

"There really is a Beggars' Sect?" Jiaojiao's eyes widened.

She murmured, "I should have gone with Tiger today."

Lin Ziyan smiled and said, "So it was Tiger who told you."

"The Beggars' Sect is a gang created in martial arts novels; it does not exist."

"No, Tiger is going to join the Beggars' Sect. He said he wants to become a very powerful person." Jiaojiao raised her voice, shouting until her neck turned red.

Xiaoxiao washed her hands and pinched her little sister's chubby cheeks.

"You don't want to join us, do you? To become a beggar?"

Jiaojiao frowned, looking very conflicted.

Grandma said she became a beggar because she had no food to eat, but she can eat meat every day. How could she really be a beggar?

Jiaojiao looked at Lin Ziyan and stammered, "Just now, two members of the Beggars' Sect came looking for Hu Zi."

They went to play in the cornfield…

Lin Ziyan's heart skipped a beat, and she suppressed her unease. "Are those two Beggars' Sect members adults?"

“I look like my big fat cousin, and Grandma said I can’t play with him…” Jiao Jiao whispered.

She actually joined in the fun, but while she preferred playing in the sand, they went to the cornfield to catch pretty bugs.

Lin Ziyan suddenly stood up, her body swayed, and she felt dizzy.

After pausing for a moment, she immediately went upstairs to call Lu Yunshen.

If those two people were after the Lin family, why didn't they forcibly take Jiaojiao away?

Lin Ziyan gradually calmed down.

Just then, Tiger's shout came from the doorway.

"Jiaojiao, let's go catch some pretty butterflies. There are lots of them in the cornfield..."

Xiaoxiao stopped Jiaojiao from running away.

Tiger walked into the yard carrying a transparent bag containing a butterfly that was flapping its wings and bumping around.

"Beautiful butterfly..." Jiaojiao laughed and almost jumped up.

Lin Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Hu Zi.

"Tiger, I'll go with you to catch some. Are there any pink butterflies?" Jiaojiao stared at the butterflies in the bag, her eyes shining like stars.

She loved catching butterflies, but unfortunately, all the butterflies in the village flew too fast for her to catch.

"It was the Beggars' Sect who captured him, I don't even know if he had any pink ones." Tiger scratched his head shyly, his wheat-colored skin blushing.

Lin Ziyan, "..."

Jiaojiao said, "I want to go."

Tiger's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "The Beggars' Sect is really something. If I catch the butterfly, I can play with Jiaojiao."

Lin Ziyan raised her hand and glanced at her watch. "I'll go with you."

Tiger nodded vigorously. "Little Fatty and Big Fatty have gone to the cornfield with the Beggars' Gang. We need to hurry, or they'll catch all the butterflies."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Lin Ziyan pulled her two younger sisters along to keep up, but she deliberately walked very slowly.

Tiger walked for a while, then said impatiently, "Hurry up..."

He muttered to himself, "Girls are such a hassle, always dragging their feet."

Tiger slowed his pace, feeling anxious, afraid that if he arrived too late he wouldn't be able to find anyone.

The two beggars said they would introduce him to the Beggars' Sect after he caught the pretty bugs.

Lin Ziyan turned around and saw the people following behind her, so she quickened her pace.

She prayed silently, hoping that she was just overthinking things.

The prayer beads on her wrist were burning hot, and Lin Ziyan's heart was pounding in her throat.

"Tiger, where are you?" Lin Ziyan caught up with him.

Xiaoxiao quickly caught up; she had just seen the person following behind.

"They said they'd wait for me here..." Tiger ran to the cornfield but couldn't find them.

A strong smell of blood wafted into my nostrils.
