After a pause, Old Man Li continued, "I haven't seen you care so much about our children!"
Niu Cuihua retorted, "How can that be the same? These are all naughty kids at home. They just get into trouble all day long!"
"Okay, okay, stop thinking about it. I still have to go to work!"
After saying this, Old Man Li walked into the yard.
Niu Cuihua seemed to have figured it out. After standing there for a while, she followed him into the yard!
Here, Li Mingxi rode her bike towards the county town. Along the way, she kept thinking about this matter in her mind!
According to what grandma said, asking second uncle for help will definitely not work!
But if I go to Leng Feng, what if he doesn't believe me? Even if he does, what if he's unwilling to save Simao and the others?
Then, Li Mingxi quickly dismissed the idea, thinking that it shouldn't be the case.
Hadn't Leng Zhao been following Brother Simao and the others? Given his personality, he wouldn't abandon his friends after being rescued.
After all, that kid is not just stubborn and nosy!
When she arrived at the county town, Li Mingxi was full of confidence, but looking at the empty streets, she suddenly realized an important problem: she didn't know where Leng Feng was!
What should I do?
The county town is so big, she can't just go door to door looking for him! That's not realistic!
Even if I really go to find someone, it will definitely cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. Isn't this just adding trouble for no reason?
For a moment, Li Mingxi started spinning around anxiously on the spot!
At this moment, two people with great momentum were walking towards this side not far away.
Li Mingxi naturally saw it as well. At a glance, he noticed that it was actually Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang!
However, Li Mingxi was upset now and had no intention of greeting them!
So, in order to avoid embarrassment, Li Mingxi simply lowered his head.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiang had already seen her.
Look, before he even arrived, he immediately waved at Li Mingxi.
"Why!"
It has come to this. If Li Mingxi continues to pretend that he didn’t see them, it would be really disrespectful!
Therefore, she quickly waved to the two people opposite her.
I thought he would just say hello and leave, but I didn't expect that after seeing Li Mingxi greet him, Zhu Qiang actually ran straight towards her.
"Hey, Li Mingxi, why are you in the county town?"
For someone as outgoing as Zhu Qiang, Li Mingxi could only smile awkwardly!
"Something's going on!"
Zhu Qiang didn't take Li Mingxi's perfunctory response seriously. He just nodded and then started talking to himself, "Is that so? We are too!"
Then, he looked Li Mingxi up and down again and asked doubtfully, "Just now, I saw you standing here from a distance. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Although Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, he looked at Li Mingxi in confusion.
Under such scrutiny, Li Mingxi felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She felt that she was not familiar with them and there was no need to discuss this.
She can't just tell someone the answer as soon as they ask her. That would be too rude.
Therefore, after thinking about it in her mind, she simply made up an excuse for herself, "Hey, don't mention it, I remember I brought money with me, but I didn't expect that when I touched my pocket just now, it was gone. I was so anxious!"
When Zhu Qiang heard this, he immediately raised his voice and asked with concern, "Is it lost?"
Li Mingxi shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I forgot to bring it!"
"Do you want me to help you find it? Do you remember how much money you lost?" Li Mingxi waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I must have forgotten to bring it when I left home this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiang, who had originally been thinking about helping Li Mingxi look for it, gave up the idea.
"How about this, tell me how much money you want. I happen to have some cash in my pocket today, and I don't need it anyway, so I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back later!"
As he spoke, he took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to Li Mingxi.
"Here, are these enough?"
Looking at Zhu Qiang's series of actions, Li Mingxi was already shocked. She didn't expect that this man was so bold as to lend money to a stranger whom she had just met a few times.
However, even if he could lend it, Li Mingxi couldn't take it, so she quickly refused, "No, no, how can I take your money?"
Zhu Qiang didn't care. "Why can't I take it? If I didn't bring any money, I wouldn't have said anything. But I brought it with me, and I can't use it anyway. Since you need it, it's just right for you!"
"Okay, stop making excuses and take it!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and insisted on stuffing the money into Li Mingxi's hand.
Li Mingxi was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.
"Oh, no, we've only met a few times, and you're already lending me money. If you keep acting like this, you're going to get ripped off sooner or later!"
"Besides, I'm just here to take a look around the county town, I don't necessarily have to buy anything, so put the money away quickly!"
Zhu Qiang was unwilling and said, "No, you need the money, it would be great if you could just take it!"
Seeing his stubbornness, Li Mingxi said directly, "Aren't you afraid that I'm deceiving you? Someone like you will be deceived sooner or later!"
Knowing that Li Mingxi was telling the truth, Zhu Qiang was not angry. He chuckled and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Who lied to me? Besides, do I look that stupid?"
Li Mingxi looked up and down, feeling embarrassed to say it. That's right, he had met so many people, but had never met anyone like him. He wanted to lend him money even though we weren't even familiar with each other. He was almost a fool!
Zhu Qiang naturally noticed that Li Mingxi looked at him in an abnormal way, and quickly began to explain himself.
"I never lend money to strangers!"
When Li Mingxi heard this, she subconsciously wanted to say, then who am I? Then, she listened to the man speak.
"Aren't we friends? It should be okay for me to lend money to a friend, right? Besides, you don't seem like the kind of person who wouldn't pay it back!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxi was shocked. What is a friend? They have only met a few times, so how can they be considered friends?
For a moment, Li Mingxi didn't know whether there was something wrong with his understanding of the word "friend" or there was something wrong with Zhu Qiang's brain circuit.
Even Huo Jingchen next to him looked at Zhu Qiang in surprise.
Zhu Qiang was very surprised to see that both of them were looking at him with horror.
"Why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong? But aren't we just friends?"
At this point, he looked at Li Mingxi and asked, "Tell me, how long have we known each other?"
When asked this question, Li Mingxi was speechless for a moment. They have known each other for a long time, but that doesn’t mean they are friends!
