Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Zhou Xun stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside: "I wonder how long this rain will last? I hope it won't stop!"
The Yang brothers stood outside the inn for a long time but Wang Er did not come back.
Yang Erlang asked worriedly, "Brother, do you think those two kids can escape danger this time?"
Yang Dalang patted his brother's shoulder and said, "That girl is so smart, she will definitely be able to hold on until we find him!"
As the two were talking, a strong wind suddenly blew, followed by heavy rain!
Yang Dalang ordered his brother, "Run back and give a message to Manager Chen. We will stay at this inn tonight!"
The young man said with a sad face, "Two big brothers, can you let me go back first?"
Yang Dalang: "I haven't asked you to identify the person yet, and you want to leave already?"
"Big brother, can you please wait until you find the man and then call me to identify him?" the young man begged.
Yang Erlang: "We haven't even come to settle accounts with you yet, and you're already laying out conditions for us? To put it bluntly, your actions are accomplices! If you were to flee, where would we find you?"
The young man was even more frightened by what Yang Erlang said. He immediately shut up and dared not mention going back.
Night falls quickly. It is raining tonight, so the night watchmen will definitely be lazy. They just need to wait until the second half of the night when everyone has relaxed before taking action.
At night, the servant outside the door came in to bring food to the two of them. Seeing the two of them curled up on the ground, looking frightened, the servant kept the bowl in his hand on the table without paying much attention, and the two black buns rolled directly to the ground with his movement.
The servant who had completed his task locked the door without even looking at the two of them.
After everyone left, Li Yan picked up the steamed bun on the ground, tore off the dusty outer shell and handed it to Zhou Xun: "Eat it, we only drank watery porridge this morning. Without anything else to fill our stomachs, I'm afraid we won't have the strength to escape at night!"
After listening to Li Yan's words, Zhou Xun took the black-faced steamed bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls!
Although the black-faced steamed buns were not tasty, they were very filling. After the two of them finished eating, they came to the window and carefully checked what was happening outside.
Li Yan's guess turned out to be correct. The two people who were originally guarding outside the courtyard gate were nowhere to be seen.
Li Yan said to Zhou Xun with a sly delight, "The gatekeeper is no longer here. We'll act after midnight tonight!"
The two of them sat back against the wall and leaned against it to recuperate!
On the other side, Yang Erlang returned to Manager Chen’s inn in the heavy rain!
Shopkeeper Chen looked at Yang Erlang, who was soaked all over, and immediately asked the waiter to get some hot water!
Yang Erlang stopped him and said, "Shopkeeper, please stop. I have come to give you a message. Wang Er hasn't returned yet. I want you to stay there today!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave!
Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly pulled Yang Erlang over and took out an oil-paper umbrella from behind the counter: "It's raining outside, take this umbrella!"
Without giving Yang Erlang a chance to refuse, Manager Chen stuffed the money directly into Yang Erlang's hands.
Yang Erlang held an umbrella and immediately ran into the heavy rain. After a while, his figure disappeared in the rain!
The waiter saw his shopkeeper standing in front of the inn, staring at the rain with a sad face, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Shopkeeper, please come in first. Your clothes are getting wet standing outside!"
Shopkeeper Chen returned to the inn with a lot on his mind. The waiter hurriedly took a clean cloth to wipe off the moisture on the shopkeeper's body!
"Boss, please take better care of yourself. Those two children will be safe!"
Shopkeeper Chen sighed, "I have failed Brother Lin's trust!"
