In the alley, there were sounds of light footsteps.

Jiang Hao looked through the crack in the little girl's door and saw a pair of black cloth shoes slowly passing by the door. The footsteps became farther and farther away.

However, she did not let go of the little girl in a hurry. She waited for a while and sure enough, she heard the door opening again.

Then, another figure passed by the door.

Jiang Hao let go of the little girl and was about to say "I'm sorry" when he heard the little girl say, "They've all left. They should be back in five days."

Ok?

Jiang Hao discovered that he was extremely lucky. He originally came to confirm whether it was the old man, but he encountered a "treasure."

"Did you make a special note of it?"

The little girl nodded, then shook her head, tilted her head and thought for a while, "They... have been coming here for two years... about every five days. But I don't know if it rains or snows... I ran into them once when I was playing at the door, and the old man gave me a piece of cake to eat."

That was her first time eating cake, it was so fragrant and sweet...

When Jiang Hao heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Would you really come again knowing that you have been seen?

Was it planned long ago? No matter who came, the little girl would say this. Or did the other party not think that the child would tell others?

But if you are so confident, why do you have to have a secret talk in a place like this?

Jiang Hao looked at the little girl a little more carefully, but did not say anything. He smiled and said a few more words to her before opening the door and leaving.

What Jiang Hao didn't know was that not long after she left, the figure who left later knocked on the little girl's door.

"uncle."

The little girl looked at the tall figure and called out crisply.

The man looked stern, looking down at the girl, and said in a low voice: "Has a girl entered the alley?"

"Ah."

The little girl nodded without hesitation: "She came to ask grandma about the relatives who used to live here. She came from another place to live with her relatives. But grandma said they all moved away, so she left."

"Really?"

The man was obviously a little unconvinced.

The little girl looked at the other person with her dark eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yeah, she was crying."

Afraid that the man wouldn't believe her, the girl lied through gritted teeth.

The man glanced at the little girl and turned away.

After everyone left, the little girl was not as strong as she appeared. Her slender legs went limp and she sat on the ground, sobbing.

The half-eaten bun rolled to the ground, the meat filling spilled out and the white dough was covered in mud.

……

Not long after Jiang Hao left, he noticed someone following him.

She said nothing, pretending to be distraught, and walked into an inn. She spoke a few words to the owner at the counter, and was then taken upstairs by the waiter.

Following her, she placed a silver ingot on the counter, which surprised and delighted the shopkeeper.

"This guest officer..."

"I ask you questions and you answer them, and the silver will be yours."

The other party's voice was very soft but very penetrating, and the shopkeeper felt as if every bone in his body was sweating.

The shopkeeper nodded vigorously: "You...you ask."

"How long has that girl been staying here?"

The shopkeeper replied without thinking: "It's been several days since she came here to seek refuge with her relatives, but she hasn't found anyone. She doesn't have any money on her, and just now she asked me to have pity on her for a few more days and not to drive her out. You know, I'm also helping my boss... Hey... Sir..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, the other party turned and left.

The white silver...

In less than a cup of tea, he got two ingots.

The shopkeeper looked at the silver in his hand and smiled instantly...
