When Ye Xin came out of the yard, she noticed that there was a little tail following her. There was no expression on her face. She walked around here and there and led the person into an alley.
When she reached the end of the alley, she suddenly disappeared. The little tail following her in the dark was startled and hurriedly ran to the place where Ye Xin disappeared.
"Are you looking for me?"
A voice came from above Ergouzi's head. His face changed and he raised his head suddenly.
Ye Xin, who had just disappeared, suddenly appeared on a wall. She supported herself on the wall with her hands, shook her legs, and looked at him with a cold face.
When Ergouzi saw that he was discovered, he turned around and ran away.
“Swoosh~”
A stone was thrown out from Ye Xin's hand.
The stone hit Ergouzi's back, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ye Xin jumped down from the wall, walked to Ergouzi, and casually touched a broom beside the wall.
She pounded the broom on the ground, and the dust that was raised made Ergouzi cough uncontrollably.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Her cold voice sounded, and her face was stern, which was completely different from the gentle person in the yard just now.
“Ahem!”
Ergouzi inhaled a large amount of dust and was now coughing violently, with tears and snot running down his face.
Ye Xin picked up the broom in her hand again. This time, she used the stick to lift Er Gouzi's chin and said, "Speak."
She forced Ergouzi to look at her, and her ferocious look successfully scared Ergouzi.
"Lady, spare me. I didn't mean to follow you. Ahem!"
Ye Xin narrowed her eyes, a gleam of light flashing across them. "If you didn't mean to do that, then you did it on purpose. You dare to follow me? How do you think I should deal with you?"
Her threatening voice frightened Ergouzi so much that he was trembling with fear. He was really afraid that Ye Xin would kill him, so he got up from the ground and kowtowed to Ye Xin.
"Lady, please spare Er Gouzi's life. I followed you only because I was so hungry and wanted to exchange some food with you."
"Tsk! I'm not a charity. If you ask me for food, you'll have to pay for it." Ye Xin threw the broom at Ergouzi's feet, then turned and left.
When Ergouzi saw the man leaving, he became panicked, stood up and chased after him.
"Lady, I'm not exchanging food for nothing. I know a little bit of information, which is what Grandpa Old Dog mentioned."
Ye Xin paused and turned her head to look at Er Gouzi, "For example?"
Er Gouzi swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to walk behind Ye Xin. "Lady, Daya and Erya are both dead. Shitou and Mantou went to other counties. I saw Pigun in Mahua Town a few days ago."
Ye Xin waited for what to say next, but Ergouzi lost his temper after saying this. Speechless, she threw a steamed bun to him and walked away.
It’s better not to tell this news.
Ergouzi took the steamed bun and seemed to remember something. He gritted his teeth and called Ye Xin again.
"Lady, there is one more thing I don't know whether I should tell you."
Ye Xin stopped again, turned around and looked at Er Gouzi again, "Who is it related to?"
"A leather stick, it's a leather stick." Er Gouzi carefully took the white flour bun, organized his words, and told what happened that day.
"I was just about to return from Mahua Town two days ago, and when I passed by a yard, I saw the leather stick coming out of it."
"I haven't seen him for a while. Pigun has changed a lot. He's wearing black clothes, his hair is tied up high, and his face is clean. He doesn't look like the little beggar he used to be."
"I wanted to go up and say hello, but when I saw how gorgeous Pi Gun was, I didn't go up. I thought maybe Pi Gun had found his family and was no longer a beggar."
"But then I thought, before the county government cracked down on it, Pi Gun's family didn't come looking for him. After the county government cracked down on it, all outsiders were kept out."
"Except for the first day he didn't enter the county town, Pi Gun spent the rest of his life sleeping under a bridge. Under such circumstances, how did he manage to reunite with his family?"
The reason why Ergouzi recognized Pi Gun was that he had been with Pi Gun for several years. Otherwise, he would definitely not recognize Pi Gun with his current appearance.
Although Pi Gun didn't talk much before, he could get along with them. Now Pi Gun looks so scary. He just took a quick look at him and was almost scared to death by Pi Gun's expression.
The reason why Ergouzi took the risk to come out and find Ye Xin was because he saw that he gave so much food to Old Dog Grandpa.
Old Dog Grandpa is a very nice person. Whenever someone important gives him food, he shares it with us little beggars.
Ergouzi and his sister depended on each other for survival. The food they begged for every day was only enough for one meal. He and his sister were so hungry that they couldn't bear it anymore, so they had the courage to follow Ye Xin and wanted to tell her the news.
Ye Xin raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the suspect had appeared!
She took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and threw the silver ingot and a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper to Ergouzi.
"This is a thank you gift."
She moved her fingers, removed the barrier inside, and cast a limited-time illusion on Ergouzi to prevent him from attracting other people's attention on his way home.
After doing all this, Ye Xin turned around and left. The suspect had been identified, and the next step was to arrest him.
Ergouzi bit the fist-sized silver ingot in his hand, his eyes welled up, and he knelt down and kowtowed behind Ye Xin with tears of gratitude.
With this money, he and his sister could escape from their misery.
He hid the silver ingot carefully and thought carefully about how to take his sister away from here without being noticed.
He was not stupid and knew how tempting this money would be to those people. He and his sister were still young, so this news must never be told to anyone.
Ergouzi skillfully walked to the bottom of a wall, turned over the loose stone slab underneath, put the silver ingot in it, then covered it with soil and restored the stone slab to its original state.
He was immersed in the silver and money, completely ignoring the roast chicken next to him, and also ignoring how Ye Xin took out the food out of thin air.
When he came to his senses a few days later, he realized how brave he was at that time.
Only the immortals in the picture book could create food out of thin air. How could he have been so careful as to provoke the immortal?
Thinking of the consequences of angering the immortal, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He no longer cared about the last bit of his plan. He made up an excuse, took his sister, took out the silver, and left Anning County.
........
Ye Xin came to Mahua Town. According to Ergouzi's information, she asked the locals about the yard where the leather stick was.
The locals told her that the yard was located in the most prosperous area of the town, and that a family had indeed moved into their town some time ago.
Up to now, there has only been one young master in that family, and he is very strange and has a bad temper. He always causes trouble for the beggars.
Now everyone in the town knows that this family is not to be trifled with, so when they see the young master of this family, they will try to avoid him.
After hearing the news, Ye Xin nodded to thank the man, and followed the instructions of the locals to successfully find Pi Gun's yard.
