Hearing what everyone was saying, Yuan Shuo's lips trembled with anger; "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't tie this person up at all, and I don't know how he ended up in my house. Don't ruin my Xiao Fang's reputation."
Li Qin wanted to speak, but the moment she saw the leader's face, she was terrified and lost her composure.
When my father was still alive, he never made a mistake when asked to do these dirty things.
How did things go wrong this time? Who threw them into her yard?
The thought of Su Li flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. How could a little girl like Su Li have the strength to throw three people in from outside?
The police arrived shortly afterward.
The three men on the ground had just been woken up by the noise of the crowd. They heard people pointing and whispering about them, calling them hooligans and accusing them of molesting Li Qin's daughter. They were truly innocent.
Upon seeing the police, and then seeing Li Qin behind him, the man in the middle, desperate and grasping at straws, pleaded, "Li Qin, please tell the police for me that we didn't do anything indecent. I came here today to help you, don't you remember?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately misunderstood.
What is it that requires me to strip naked to help Li Qin?
The way everyone looked at Li Qin became even more undisguised.
These three are all naked, could it be a mother and daughter having sex together?
Most of those who thought this way were men, but a few old women, always eager for a good show, chimed in: "Hey, didn't you hear? This man knows Li Qin! Could this be Li Qin's lover?"
"Judging from the familiar tone, it's quite possible."
Li Qin was so angry at their words that she almost fainted. What kind of people are these?!
When nothing's wrong, they're as nice as ever. But now that something's happened, before anything serious has even occurred, these people are already rushing to kick them while they're down.
Seeing that the police had taken the person away, Su Li didn't join in the fun anymore. It was already getting dark, and if she didn't go back soon, she would be in the dark.
She was prepared to walk back, but unexpectedly saw an oxcart at the previous parking spot.
But the person watching the oxcart was not Old Li.
She walked over and asked, "Uncle, which village is your oxcart going to?"
"I'm watching the oxcart for someone. It belongs to Lijiatun. The driver has gone to find someone. If you're going to Lijiatun, you'll have to wait a bit longer."
Su Li found it strange that Old Li's oxcart was still in town at this hour, and he was looking for someone again. Could it be that someone from their village had been kidnapped by human traffickers again?
"Uncle, do you know the name of the person Uncle Li found?"
He said he was looking for a female educated youth named Su something-li.
Su Li was shocked; she hadn't expected that Old Li had actually come looking for her.
She never imagined that one day she would get lost and someone would look for her.
Su Li took an apple out of her pocket and handed it to the old man; "Thank you for watching the car here, sir. I am Su Li. Please accept this apple."
The old man was surprised by the generosity of the young woman. He felt a little embarrassed to accept the money, as he was just looking after a car and it wouldn't be a big deal for him.
Besides, he had some connections with Old Li, so he said, "Young Su, you should keep this apple for yourself!"
He reluctantly handed it back to Su Li; it was an apple, and he hadn't eaten one in years.
Seeing the old man's reluctant gaze, Su Li didn't take it; "I have some more at home, you can have this. If you have something to do, you can go first, I'll wait here for Uncle Li to come back."
The old man chuckled and said, "Alright, you won't have to wait here for long. I reckon he'll be back soon. He told me before that he would come back before dark, whether he found him or not."
Su Li nodded, and sure enough, not long after the old man left, Old Li returned looking dejected.
When he looked up and saw Su Li, he was still somewhat incredulous. To be honest, he hadn't seen Su Li at noon, so after sending those people back, he came to town, entrusted the oxcart to someone else for safekeeping, and searched everywhere for Su Li.
He had walked all the way through the town without seeing a soul, and he was already guessing that Su Li might have been abducted. He never expected to see her again. "Su Qingqing, where have you been all day? I thought..."
Su Li knew that he thought he had been kidnapped by human traffickers, and in reality, that was pretty much the case.
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry to have worried you. Something came up and I was delayed today."
Old Li didn't blame him, only saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
He was genuinely worried that Su, the educated youth, would end up like Zhou, getting lost and never being found again.
Over the time they've spent together, he's come to really like Su Zhiqing's personality.
He was generous and sincere to people, and he also respected this old man.
Su Li's consciousness picked a large apple in the space, and then pretended to take it out of her pocket.
"Uncle Li, thank you for today. Please accept this apple; it's a small token of my appreciation."
Old Li simply stuffed the apple into his pocket; "Okay, I'll take it."
"Hold on tight, we're heading back to the village now."
Su Li smiled and said, "Okay."
When the oxcart was halfway there, it got completely dark.
Now that the weather is getting colder, it gets dark earlier and earlier.
Fortunately, Old Li knew the route well.
That's how they made it back to the village safely.
As he was leaving, Old Li called out to Su Li, "Su Qingqing, don't come back so late next time. It's not safe for a young girl like you to be out there all alone."
Su Li nodded; "Uncle Li, it won't happen again. Thank you so much for today."
She walked quickly towards home, and met Lu Huai halfway there.
Seeing his hurried steps, Su Li asked, "Why are you walking so fast so late?"
Lu Huai shook his head when he saw that she was unharmed.
