Chapter 104 This is truly a feat
"Little brother, my name is Du Ruo." Du Ruo's eyes were bright, like the rising sun, flashing with pure light. Her cherry lips, with an innocent smile, were pure, lively and full of spirit.
She took the candy given by Shen Lingge and put it in her mouth without thinking, causing the group of aunts who were always paying attention to her to gasp.
This child really has no idea how treacherous human nature is. The aunts who had suffered a lot outside looked at Du Ruo worriedly.
What a cute child! Xu Zhao almost couldn’t help but want to go up and pinch Du Ruo’s face.
"Are you waiting for us at the gate of the village on purpose?" Shen Lingge asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, my mother was afraid that you couldn't find it, so she arranged for me to come and pick you up," Du Ruo looked back and smiled with a maltose in her mouth, "I was also the one who opened the door of the village this morning." She seemed to be showing off something extraordinary.
Shen Lingge was shocked. The little girl in front of him looked no more than seven or eight years old, and her family actually let her do such a dangerous thing. If the person who came today was a vicious criminal, wouldn't such a cute and innocent girl fall into the hands of the evil man?
Xu Zhao's idea was completely opposite to Shen Lingge's. She sent a little girl to show the visitors that they had no evil intentions and to make their attitude clear. If the soldiers who came were reasonable, they would naturally not wipe out the village at will.
Moreover, Xu Zhao looked around and realized that a mother would definitely not let her child do anything risky, so she would naturally protect him or her.
In a place that Xu Zhao couldn't see, there was a woman holding a crossbow, with the sharp arrow aimed at Shen Lingge all the time.
Seeing the woman next to Du Ruo suddenly look around, she seemed to be a smart person. She didn't like dealing with smart people.
"Brother and sister, what do you call me?" Her mouth was a little dry from eating malt candy. She licked the corner of her lips, which was also sweet!
These two brothers and sisters don't look like bad people.
My elder sister is very gentle and kind, and she smiles at me very beautifully, even prettier than my mother.
The little brother was not as fierce as imagined, and he even gave her candy!
"My name is Shen Lingge, you can call me Brother Shen." He introduced Xu Zhao together, "You can call her Sister Zhao Zhao or Sister Xu."
Du Ruo murmured: "Brother Chen, Sister Zhao Zhao, I will remember it!"
"Ruoruo, is your mother the leader of Lihua Village?" In order to get some information, Xu Zhao even changed the way he addressed her, trying to improve the relationship between the two.
For a child, as long as they exchanged names, they would become friends. She did not hide anything from Xu Zhao and the others, and could be said to have told them everything she knew, "Yes, my parents came to this village ten years ago and took in many aunts and grandmothers. If someone abandoned a baby girl, my parents would bring her back if they saw her. With so many people, the village has completely become everyone's home."
Xu Zhao said firmly: "This is truly a heroic act. Your parents must be very good people."
Hearing the friend he just met praising his parents even before meeting them, Du Ruo was naturally happy and began to flatter his own parents.
"My father is both talented and handsome, and my mother is skilled in martial arts. The Songfeng Village next door used to bully us, but my parents taught them a lesson and drove them away."
Shen Lingge heard this and curled the corners of his lips. This little girl is lively and outgoing. She reveals everything.
When Songfeng Village was mentioned, Du Ruo tugged at Shen Lingge's sleeve and tilted his head curiously, "Last night, there was a fire at the other end of the mountain, but it was the direction of Songfeng Village? Brother Shen, did you catch those bad uncles?"
Her voice was so soft that anyone who heard it would feel deeply moved.
Although Du Ruo is young, she is very shrewd and knows how to make people feel soft-hearted. Whenever she made her mother angry in the past, she would speak in this tone, and her mother would immediately stop being angry after hearing it. This method is very effective.
Shen Lingge rarely interacted with children and had no wits about getting along with them, so he immediately fell for Du Ruo's trick.
"It is indeed the direction of Songfeng Village. Last night, Brother Shen's uncle brought soldiers to arrest those thieves who always do bad things and sent them to the government."
“Brother Shen’s uncle is really awesome. Those bad guys often come to bully our village. Now that the bad guys have been caught, our village will never be bullied by them again!”
In Xu Zhao's eyes, the two children were chatting happily. She did not say anything to disturb them, but just followed Du Ruo closely and walked with her to the deepest part of the village.
Finally, Du Ruo brought the two to the door of a house. This house was the largest house in the area. The door was closed and everything inside was unknown.
"This room is where my parents and other sisters discuss matters on weekdays. I'm still a child, so I won't go in." Her parents never let her go in the past, saying that they couldn't understand what they were talking about, and it would be better for her to go and play with the other children without any worries.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, my parents are waiting for you inside. I'll leave first."
She has completed the task her mother assigned to her perfectly. She is such a smart and capable child.
Du Ruo waved towards Xu Zhao and Shen Lingge, and ran in the direction they came from. The road in the village was winding, and soon he disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he was.
The people hiding in the dark saw Du Ruo leaving, breathed a sigh of relief, put away their arrows and crossbows, and left together.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, are we going in now?"
Xu Zhao nodded, "Go knock on the door, and when you go in, listen and learn more. If you are not asked to speak, then don't speak."
"I see."
The door of the house was made of wood, with a small door cymbal installed on it. Shen Lingge walked up and knocked on the door knocker lightly. The door knocker hit the wood, making a crisp sound.
The people inside heard the knock on the door. Du Zhiyi heard the knock and said to the person beside him, "Open the door."
This door is just to test the authenticity of the person who comes and see the character of the person outside the door, which determines how to communicate later.
Now it seems that the person who came must be someone who can explain things clearly.
The person who opened the door for Xu Zhao and the others was a man who looked to be around 30 years old. He looked quite elegant and was probably Du Ruo's father.
"Please in, both of you," Yu Chengyan stepped aside and invited the two of them into the house.
The room was very large, with a long square table in front and many wooden benches on both sides. It was very similar to a modern conference table. In addition to the square table, there were also many wooden benches against the wall.
It seems that there are quite a lot of people holding meetings here on weekdays. Xu Zhao glanced around.
"My name is Du Zhiyi, may I know what your name is, young lady?" Du Zhiyi walked out from behind the table and saluted Xu Zhao in a bold and unrestrained manner. She was different from the boudoir girls in TV dramas and had more of a gangster vibe.
Xu Zhao returned the greeting, "My name is Xu Zhao, and this is my younger brother, Shen Lingge."
Now it was Xu Zhao's turn to introduce the two of them. She did not deliberately hide Shen Lingge's name, but she did not say much else. If she was interested, she would definitely know what this name meant.
