Chapter 22 Conquering the Contest
The vendor at the side said at this moment, "Don't mind it, little girl, she must have recognized the wrong person just now."
Xiao Tu glanced back at the other person and asked, "Xiao Yuan?"
Hearing the name, the vendor sighed deeply. "Yes, she's about your age. She was lost near here a year ago. Her father was so worried about her that he was paralyzed in bed and can't move now. You saw her mother too. She's almost exhausted. It's like watching a happy family being destroyed like this."
Xiao Tu didn't say anything else, but watched the woman leave with a slightly frown on his face.
Ning Cuo raised his eyebrow at this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tu looked at the woman, "This person is dying!"
Or commit suicide!
Ning Cuo paused in surprise when he heard this. He didn't care about the life or death of a strange woman. He was interested in Xiao Tu's sudden words.
He didn't ask Xiao Tu how he knew that, but instead looked at the woman in the crowd with interest.
At this moment, the woman who was looking for her daughter came back again, holding a fried meatball wrapped in oil paper and handing it to her.
Xiao Tu looked at the other person and blinked in confusion again?
The woman forced a smile on her haggard face. "I'm sorry for hurting you just now. This is for you."
Xiao Tu smiled slightly, she took it and ate one directly, the meatball was unexpectedly chewy.
The woman beside her watched her eat quietly, her sad face gradually becoming absent-minded, as if she saw another girl through her!
The woman was distracted for a long time. When she came back to her senses and gathered herself a little, she turned around and was about to leave, but someone grabbed her arm and said, "Wait a minute."
She was confused and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Tu directly raised her hand and took the portrait in her arms, "Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters. If I eat yours, it will naturally not be eaten in vain."
The woman was stunned, feeling a little confused.
Xiao Tu looked at the portrait for a moment, then turned to the woman and said, "Go down from the overpass and go about five miles east. There's a small alley called Laba Hutong. You'll meet an old woman there. Give her a piece of silver."
The woman didn't understand what she was saying, but when she saw the other party holding her daughter's portrait and saying these strange words, a crazy idea suddenly came to her mind.
"Have you seen my daughter? She is..."
Xiao Tu interrupted her, "Don't ask. Remember, when you meet someone, don't say anything. Just give them money."
Li Yuhe covered her mouth and tears burst out.
But she really didn't dare to ask anymore, and even now she didn't dare to think about anything.
This is a desperate person. Even if you throw a ridiculous straw to her before she drowns, she will grab it with all her might.
"Go ahead."
Li Yuhe nodded vigorously, then ran towards the place the other party said.
Xiao Lezi watched from the side with a puzzled look on his face. For the first time, he thought that this Jade Princess was not only eccentric, but also had some weird moments. She looked like a charlatan who was deceiving people. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Tu ignored him, her eyes flicking towards the enchanting and dangerous man beside her, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Ning Cuo held her slender waist, a smile on his beautiful face, his deep eyes like a bottomless abyss, attracting people to fall into his trap, "You are all mine, I am not in a hurry!"
Xiao Tu grinned when she heard that. She liked the man's directness and was even more willing to compete with him in this game called "conquest"!
Xiaotu bent her beautiful eyes and smiled, "I'll take you to see a good show."
Ning Cuo became interested and asked, "Oh? Where?"
"Laba Alley."
Isn’t that the place where the woman just directed the woman who lost her daughter to?
Xiao Tu tilted her head with a smile, "Husband, can you fly?"
Ning Cuo bent her beautiful cold lips, "Of course."
Xiao Tu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her little hands towards the man, "Brother, hold me."
The night wind was cold, and Li Yuhe ran eastward after getting off the overpass.
She counted the steps almost meticulously, fearing that she would run too much or too little and exceed the distance the other party had specified.
Fortunately, there is only a small alley about five miles away.
She didn't dare to hesitate and turned to go in. Sure enough, she saw an old lady who had just come out of a house.
The other person staggered, had a hunched body, was wearing shabby clothes, and was holding a broken begging bowl in his hand.
When Li Yuhe saw this person, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
What the girl said was true. She really, really saw an old woman.
The girl also said, when you see the other party, don't say anything, just give money, yes, yes, no talking, give money, give money...
Li Yuhe's hands were trembling as she took out a piece of silver from her pocket and put it into the bowl of the old woman who was walking forward with her head down and hunched over.
When the old woman saw a whole piece of silver put into her begging bowl, she paused, slowly raised her old face, and looked at Li Yuhe with dead eyes, "Thank you."
After saying that, he regained his lifeless look and was about to continue walking forward, but when he looked away, his eyes caught sight of the portrait in the other person's arms.
The drawing on the paper is very vivid. The little girl is wearing a red skirt and has black bangs. She has a pretty face and her eyes are curved when she smiles. She is very cute.
The old woman was struck by lightning and suddenly looked up again.
She looked at Li Yuhe, who looked 50% similar to the one on the paper but looked haggard, and her whole body began to tremble.
The desperate mother who lost her daughter is the kind-hearted person who pities her!
This incident was like a spear that broke her confusion. The old woman burst into tears and finally knelt down in front of Li Yuhe with a plop.

"Officials are investigating the case. Please give way. Please give way..."
A line of yamen runners roared past the overpass. Such a conspicuous movement attracted many people at the night market to look sideways.
Xiao Lezi was still on the street, and he looked over curiously when he heard the sound.
Suddenly, an old lady rushed to the night market and shouted, "Oh, this is a strange thing, a huge strange thing!!"
Everyone laughed and joked, "What's the big deal, Aunt Li? Look how excited you are!"
"Listen to me, Li Yuhe, Li Yuhe's daughter has been found."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and rushed over.
"What? Found it?"
"Is this true?"
"Really? I just saw it with my own eyes. It's in Laba Hutong, not far east of the overpass."
Xiao Lezi was stunned for a moment, then strode over and asked, "Are you talking about Laba Hutong in the east?"
Isn’t this the place Madam Xiao asked the woman to go just now?
She just kidnapped her master and said she wanted to go there to watch a good show!
"That's exactly where the police went."
Xiao Lezi was shocked and confused. Since it had been reported to the authorities, it was very likely to be true.
He immediately lost his composure and kept urging, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
