Watching helplessly as Lili was lifted up, her little hands and legs flailing restlessly, while he himself could only be forced to kneel on the ground, powerless to resist, Shen Jiahao felt a sense of helplessness.
"No, why did you steal my sister?!"
Lili was being carried around and felt very uncomfortable. She frowned and glared at him, saying, "It hurts!"
The man narrowed his eyes and noticed the half-exposed object in the little dumpling's arms, then pulled it out with one hand.
"Tsk, one hundred taels?" The man chuckled amusedly, tossing the little girl in his hand to his subordinate. "That's her. Besides the county magistrate's daughter, which other family in Liucheng is so generous as to give a little girl one hundred taels as pocket money?"
Shen Jiahao watched as his younger sister was tossed around like an object, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets: "Li Bao!"
Pear landed in a parabola on the hand of the person next to her, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Ahhh, Lili is going to get angry!
Lili struggled and tried to twist her body toward Shen Jiahao, but after a lot of effort, the man holding her snapped at her, "Behave yourself!"
This person just hugged him like a sack, without any skill whatsoever, and it was nothing like the embrace of a family member.
Lili was uncomfortable being hugged, so she puffed up her cheeks, stuck her butt out, and turned her back to him. Then, she forcefully let out a fart.
puff--
A strange smell assaulted the man's nostrils, causing him to turn pale and nearly throw the little dumpling away: "What did you eat, kid? Why does it smell so bad?"
Lili chuckled, "I was craving sweet potatoes yesterday, so I sneaked a lot of them from the stove."
Shen Jiahao seized the opportunity and suddenly flipped his hands over. The two people holding him down were caught off guard and were pushed over by a huge force, falling to the side.
"Damn, how can this kid be so strong!"
"Quick, hold him down!"
Shen Jiahao's eyes reddened, and he rushed towards Lili, reaching out with both hands: "Li Bao!"
When Lili saw her brother coming over, she immediately tried to burrow into his arms and kick him with her feet, but found that her short legs couldn't reach him at all.
Shen Jiahao was strong, but he couldn't break free from the encirclement of more than a dozen people. He was free for a moment, but was quickly subdued again.
"Pear Baby!"
Lili saw Boss Shen and Old Lady Shen staring incredulously as she was being captured. Then Old Lady Shen nearly fainted, and Boss Shen helped the panicked Old Lady Shen forward, only to be pushed away by the group of people.
"Grandma!" Lili wanted them to hurry up and not worry about her.
Someone will come to rescue her.
"I'm speechless! Hurry up and arrest them!"
The shouts of the Shen family members nearby did not affect them. The group retreated from the street in a grand manner. Lili was grabbed and mounted on a horse. As she watched the Shen family members shrink to the size of ants, her shouts gradually subsided until they could no longer be seen or heard.
"Li Bao!!" Shen Jiahao could only watch as his sister was taken away by a group of people of unknown origin. Only after the little dumpling disappeared did the two people who were holding him down leave coldly.
Once he was free, Shen Jiahao instinctively ran forward, trying to catch up with them. He ran desperately for two blocks until he stood at a huge intersection, only to realize that he had no idea where Lili had been taken!
Shen Jiahao stood on the bustling street, and among the people coming and going, there was not a single one who was his sister.
The little dumpling who was just eating candied hawthorns in his arms suddenly disappeared.
An unprecedented sense of confusion and bewilderment welled up in Shen Jiahao's heart, and he was filled with remorse.
If he had run a little faster or held on tighter, would things have turned out differently?
Even with tears streaming down his face, Shen Jiahao's aching heart couldn't find a solution.
………
Lili was carried along on the horse at high speed, her two little pigtails bouncing back and forth.
"You've arrested the wrong person." Lili was speechless. "I'm not some rich girl."
The man didn't even glance at her, and sneered as he rode his horse: "Besides the county magistrate's daughter, whose child is this rich?"
Lili pouted: "Earned it."
"Oh."
Lili muttered to herself, "Fine, I don't believe it. Anyway, I want to see what kind of people these are."
As for being afraid?
Hmph, Shen Lili has lived for so many years and has never been afraid of anything!
Besides, if something were to happen to her at the hands of these lowly scoundrels, then she would have no chance of having any luck or destiny left, and what kind of lucky star would she be?
Being lifted up like that was really uncomfortable.
Pear puffed out her cheeks and cursed him, wishing that a passing bird would pull him onto its head.
"Smack!"
"What is that!" The man wiped his head, a still-warm, wet blob sticking to his hand. "Damn it, bird poop!"
Lili blinked without saying a word, her big eyes full of cunning.
Lili glanced at the bird that had flown away and covered her mouth to laugh.
Thank you, little bird.
Lili was thrown onto the horse's back, her little bottom slapped hard, but she wasn't angry. She just watched as he angrily and disgustedly grabbed a cloth and wiped his head.
The more they wiped, the dirtier it got, so they simply stopped the horse and tossed Lili to another person: "You guys go first, I'll come back later!"
"Serves you right, serves you right." Lili quietly stuck her tongue out at him.
A group of people emerged from the bustling city, made several turns, and entered a secluded alley. They dismounted and headed towards the small courtyard at the very end of the alley.
The leader kicked open the courtyard gate, and a dozen or so people sat down sparsely in the courtyard.
Lili was carelessly tossed next to the leader, Huang Er, and her elbows were scraped.
The child's skin was delicate, and the pear immediately bled. The sour, spicy, and stinging sensation made the little dumpling's eyes instantly turn red.
With a slight pout, steam obscured her eyes.
Huang Er sneered and pretended to scold, "What are you doing? This is the county magistrate's daughter. How can you be so vulgar?"
Although it was called a reprimand, he didn't stop drinking tea for a moment.
His subordinates also gave a perfunctory yes.
Pear pouts and, with an air of familiarity, plops down next to Huang Er: "I want to drink too."
They probably thought that a two-year-old girl like her couldn't cause any trouble, so they didn't tie her up or anything. When she asked for tea, Huang Er even poured her a cup.
Lili held her teacup and took small sips: "Do you like me?"
Huang Er was taken aback: "What the heck?"
Lili retorted confidently, "If you don't like my place, why are you taking it from me?"
With her little head tilted slightly back, she confidently raised the corners of her mouth, closed her eyes, and Lili was the most confident!
Huang Er twitched the corner of his mouth, probably not expecting the child to say such a thing.
He was kidnapped on the street, but instead of crying or making a fuss, he said such shocking things.
This is truly the first of its kind in the world.
Huang Er laughed in exasperation. How naive and ignorant!
Huang Er's lips curled into a sneer as he said, "Think what you want. Guess when your patriotic and benevolent father will come to save you?"
Lili covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh dear, if Uncle likes Lili, he can talk to me, you don't have to take mine!"
