When he excitedly brought food to the dilapidated temple, he discovered that the little beggar had already eaten the food.
Dayong said regretfully, "You've already eaten all this, and I even brought you some bread!"
When the little beggar heard him say this, he looked at the boy with shining eyes and said, "Where is it? Take it out quickly. My stomach is still empty!" Then he patted his stomach.
Dayong looked at his companion with amusement, and was about to walk out with the little beggar in his hand.
After the little beggar broke free, Dayong looked at him suspiciously and asked, "This cake smells strong. If you eat it in this dilapidated temple, others will know!"
The young beggar patted the space beside him and said to Dayong, "No one is safe right now!" Then he leaned over and whispered in someone's ear, "The old beggar asked me to stay here, saying he'd need me to deliver a message later!"
Dayong sat down and asked curiously, "Delivering a letter? What letter?"
The little beggar said ignorantly, "He said he was going to Lijia Village to deliver a letter to a girl named Li Xiaomei, asking her to hurry to the academy in town!"
When Dayong heard this, he realized that this was the man who had been stalking that man's wife that day, so he quickly asked, "When did it happen?"
The little beggar scratched his head and said, "Today is the day. Let me wait for him here first."
Dayong intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Without saying anything more, he stuffed the food into the other party's hands and stood up to tell the Li family about it.
Thinking of what Li Yan said about her cousin being in Piaoxianglou in the town, Dayong ran all the way to the town. Unfortunately, Li Jianmin was not in the restaurant at the moment, so Dayong came back empty-handed.
Feeling anxious, he remembered the academy in town that the little beggar had mentioned. With the mentality of giving it a try, he ran all the way to the academy. Fortunately, he met the Li family at the gate of the academy.
Da Yongqi rushed to Li Erlang, panting. Seeing the child grabbing his sleeve, Li Erlang was stunned. Wasn't this the child who helped him keep an eye on him that day?
This kid probably thought that I would go back on my word and not give him the rest of the reward. As soon as he saw me, he grabbed me and refused to let go.
Li Erlang said, "It's you. I'm sorry I've been so busy at home lately that I haven't been able to give you the rest of my reward yet. Don't worry! I won't let you down."
The boy shook his head after hearing what Li Erlang said. He took a breath and said hurriedly, "I heard something today. It's about your sister!"
The boy told Li Erlang what he heard in the morning, and Li Erlang had a bad feeling after hearing it.
My whole family has moved out, and now my younger sister is the only one at home.
This guy wants to lure his little sister out. What does he want to do?
Mrs. Wu was also standing nearby and was frightened when she heard this. Her legs went weak, but luckily she was supported by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Old Man Li.
Li Erlang said, "Father, my elder brother and I will go ahead and check the situation."
After saying that, without waiting for Old Man Li's response, she took the boy's hand and disappeared with Li Dalang.
Li Yan also heard the conversation just now and had some ideas in mind.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Old Master Li, "I'm afraid that man will harm my aunt. I'll go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to send some people to take a look."
Seeing Mr. Li's hesitant expression, Li Yan added, "Don't worry, I'm already acquainted with the daughter of County Magistrate Zheng. They won't make things difficult for me!"
After saying this, he disappeared without a trace.
Wu covered her heart and asked, "Dad, if my little sister gives out..."
"Okay! It'll be fine!" He said, patting Wu's arm. The two of them snuggled up and hurried home.
