40. Chapter 40: Kidnapped by the Flower Boy



As soon as the peddler dragged the two kids into the basket, Jinhua's mother came over and sat on a stone nearby.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he exhaled heavily.

"Hey, do you want to buy something?"

The peddler lifted the cloth covering the two baskets. Although the baskets looked full of groceries,

In fact, there is something else going on.

It is divided into two layers, the upper layer is for goods and the lower layer is hollow.

Jinhua Niang smelled the sweat on the peddler and fanned him with her hand in disgust.

"Who wants to buy your stuff! It's so shabby and expensive!"

"If you don't want to buy, forget it. All my goods are of the best quality!" The peddler looked angry, but he was actually secretly relieved.

He re-covered the two baskets.

Jinhua Niang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the green cloth sandwiched between the layers.

Judging from the pattern, it seems like the one that Yun, a maid from the Li family, often wears.

As if she had thought of something, Jinhua Niang shouted.

"Wait a moment!"

The peddler was just about to leave with his basket on his shoulder when he was frightened by the shout and his heart started pounding. He turned around slowly.

Said unhappily.

"Even if you want to buy it today, I won't sell it to you!"

Jinhua Niang stared at the basket blankly, she swallowed, and finally pointed at the two flowers on the ground.

"Head...head is broken!"

The peddler picked it up and stuffed it into the basket, then glanced at Jinhua Niang and left.

Jinhua Niang sat down on the stone and shook her head.

I didn’t see it. Yes, just pretend you didn’t see it.

What does it have to do with her if the little girl from the Su family disappears!

This can be considered as retribution for the Su family! Aunt Liu went to the town again today. The price of grain was rising day by day, and she planned to ask about the price today.

Fortunately, the old man was wise and paid the tax with silver.

Now that the grain price has risen, her family can earn double the money from the sales.

Aunt Liu was delighted, and her eyes rolled when she saw Jinhua's mother, who looked dazed, standing nearby.

She patted Jinhua Niang on the back.

"Ah!" Jinhua Niang had something hidden in her heart and was frightened by this and screamed.

When she saw that it was Aunt Liu, she regained her former aggressiveness.

"What's wrong with you, crazy woman?"

"Heh, I just slapped you, and you acted like this, did you do something wrong?"

Aunt Liu is in a good mood today and doesn't want to argue with Jinhua's mother.

"Who is guilty? I think you are the one who is guilty!" Jinhua Niang stood up and drooled as she spoke.

Su Shulin came driving a ox cart, and his head started buzzing when he heard the noise.

"Would you like to take the oxcart or not? If you don't want to take the oxcart, don

"Sit!" Aunt Liu quickly took out three coins, turned around and got on the ox cart with a smile.

She had important business to attend to in town and couldn't be delayed.

This time, Jinhua Niang didn't want to walk anymore, so she gave the money and sat on the ox cart in silence.

Only after everyone was gathered did Su Shulin drive to the town.

Su Yun had a severe headache and woke up slowly.

The basket was bouncing up and down, and she curled up in it and almost vomited everything in her stomach.

She covered her mouth and endured it, not daring to make any big movements.

There are drugs on those two head flowers, so it's possible that the peddler has other things on him.

Su Yun quietly turned on the locator and found that the peddler was heading towards Shunyi County.

Shunyi County has the opposite route to Longde Town, just outside of Beijing and directly under the jurisdiction of Dingbei City!

She put her eyes on the basket and saw the dwarf peddler and the strong man with a scar on his face through the gap.

The peddler drove the donkey cart, while the sturdy man with the scar sat on the cart, holding the basket with his hands.

There were two crescent-shaped knives on his black belt, and he was obviously a martial artist! It would not be easy to escape from under the eyes of this scarred man.

She and Xiaolin were just two six-year-old children, and they were in a daze. They were too vigilant.

"Third brother, all the goods this time are of top quality. We've made a fortune on this trip!" The peddler's voice was filled with joy.

The scarred man looked around and said, "Xiao Wu, don't talk about this outside!"

"Third brother, you are just too cautious. There are bandits here. Who would take this path?"

The peddler seemed to recall something and paused.

"That woman in the village seemed to have discovered me! I don't know why she didn't expose me!"

"Don't underestimate a woman! Xiaowu, since this is your first time bringing goods, I won't tell my brother about this!"

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

The peddler was really afraid of his third brother. If the eldest brother was a smiling tiger, then the third brother was a wolf that would tear off a piece of meat from a person when biting him.

[It must be Jinhua Niang, there is no one else except her! ]

[I am speechless. I spent money and lost myself and my sister. I don’t know how worried my family and Uncle Erniu would be if they knew we were missing.]

[Oh, I am so annoyed every day! ]

Su Yun kept complaining.

But the ten-year-old boy squatting on the top of the mountain chuckled.

"Xiaoyi, what are you laughing at?"

The big man next to him looked puzzled. Anyone who could make Xiaoyi laugh must be a strange person.

Mu Yi rolled his eyes, "Why, I can't even smile? Who is like you who has a bitter face all day long?"

Look, look! He knows it!

Xiao Yi is still so venomous! Tian Laoliu had a bitter face. Did he want to be like this? No one would be happy if they were criticized all day long.

"Xiao Yi, how long are we going to stay here? No one will take this bandit route!"

"Shh~ We'll open soon!" Mu Yi put his finger on his mouth.

He waved his hand and slowly walked down the mountain.

Tian Laoliu followed behind and muttered.

"Why open a business? We haven't made any money from robbery in a month!"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"

After being scolded by Mu Yi, Tian Laoliu sighed and hunched over as he walked down the mountain.

"Stop!" Mu Yi stretched out his hand, "Just wait here!"

It was almost noon and Su Yun hadn't come back for lunch yet.

Su Bing came out to look for him.

"Brother Erniu, is Guaiguai at your home?"

"No!"

Wang Erniu felt something was wrong, as he had always thought that Wang Lin was at Su Yun's house.

These two children have been worry-free since they were young and would never run around.

"It's bad, let's go find the head of the village!"

Su Bing followed behind him and the two ran together.

After finding the head of the village and talking to him briefly, the three of them began to inquire separately.

After a while, the three of them gathered at the entrance of the village again.

Su Bing panted, "Several children in the village said that a peddler came to the village today. This peddler often comes to sell things these past two days, and Guaiguai and Linlin went to buy things from the peddler."

"That's what I asked, and no one else in the village saw the two children either!" The headman narrowed his eyes coldly.

"Aunt Liu said that Jin Hua Niang was acting strangely today, as if she was guilty of something she did! And she was staring blankly in one direction!"

Wang Erniu wiped the sweat from his head. When he moved, the cloth on his shoulder began to bleed again.

After that, he finally realized, "It's the peddler, going to look for Jinhua Niang!"

Wang Erniu turned around and ran towards Jin's house.

That peddler must be a beggar. He would not want to live if anything happened to Linlin!
