Li Mengyue followed behind the two of them and listened to every word of their conversation.

Only then did we learn that a flood had hit Guangping Prefecture in the south and countless people were fleeing famine.

It seems that the imperial court did not properly resettle the disaster victims in the south, otherwise so many people would not have fled here.

So Li Mengyue, who was originally going to go home from the county town, turned around and went back to the house where 100,000 kilograms of soybeans were stored.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, seeing the locked door, Li Mengyue took out the key given by Qian Dongjie and opened the door.

He walked to the granary as if he was familiar with the route and opened the door again.

When I walked into the granary and had a sip of tea, I saw that the entire granary became empty, and there was not even a shadow of a soybean.

Li Mengyue then locked the door and left, then visited the county grain store again and bought 50,000 kilograms of grain.

Afterwards, Li Mengyue still did not go home. Instead, she bought a horse and traveled to all the surrounding counties, using different identities, and bought a total of 250,000 kilograms of grain.

This was not enough, and she wanted to go to the provincial capital. However, she had already been out for two days. If she didn't go home, her parents would be extremely worried.

Thinking back to when she came here, she had always been alone and didn't know what it felt like to have someone worry about her.

Now when she thinks about her parents getting nervous at the slightest sign of trouble, Li Mengyue feels that this feeling is not bad. She doesn’t feel disgusted at all anyway.

Thinking of this, he got on his horse without hesitation and ran towards Wuning County.

But she was riding very fast, and she could vaguely hear someone calling, "Sister Li, Sister Li."

She originally wanted to stop and see if someone was calling her, but then she thought it was unlikely. This was her first time in Lanlong County, so she wouldn't know anyone there, and no one would know her.

He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and ran faster and faster. Soon, he could no longer be seen.

What Li Mengyue didn’t know was that someone actually called her.

The person who called her was none other than the young master of the Jiang family, the richest family in Lanlong County, and one of the boys she had rescued from the hands of human traffickers.

At that time, Jiang Zeen was holding a candied haws in his hand and was about to take a bite when he saw Sister Li, whom he had been thinking about.

He ran happily, calling out "Sister Li".

But his sister Li was riding too fast, and even if he tried his best, he could only watch Li Mengyue go farther and farther away until even her figure could not be seen anymore.

Jiang Ze'en couldn't see anyone, but he kept running forward. He didn't know when the candied haws fell off, and one of his shoes was also missing.

"Master, the girl on horseback has gone far away."

Jiang Ze'en's eyes were red, and he didn't say a word when he heard what the people around him said.

"Master!"

"I know, let's go home."

One of the two people following behind Jiang Zeen was holding a shoe in his hand.

"Master, put on your shoes first!"

Jiang Ze'en acted as if he didn't hear anything. He let others help him put on his shoes and walked home in a daze.

As soon as I walked to the yard where he lived, before I even stepped in, I was hugged by someone.

"Son, where have you been? Are you hurt? Let me take a look."

As she spoke, the woman in silk and satin reached out and pulled Jiang Ze'en out of her arms, examining him thoroughly from head to toe.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that my son had no wounds on his body.

"call!"

"I'm glad you're not hurt. You looked so bad, it scared mom to death."

Seeing that his mother was really worried about him, Jiang Zeen finally came back to his senses from the disappointment of Sister Li's departure, and whispered: "Mom, I'm fine. Didn't you arrange someone around me? Don't you believe in yourself and your vision in choosing people?"

Mrs. Jiang then remembered that her son had been abducted by human traffickers and had come back with great difficulty.

For the safety of her son, she spent a lot of money to find four martial arts masters with great martial arts skills to protect her son every step of the way.

She really didn't want to experience again the despair of her son being missing and not being able to find him anywhere.

"Mom, I'm bored at home, so I just went for a walk on the street. There's no way I'd run into any danger."

"Son, it's hard to say. I can tell you that bad people won't write the words 'I am a bad person' on their foreheads. You are still young and can't tell who are good and who are bad. If you go out, your mother will worry about you."

"Luckily, mother had the foresight to find four bodyguards for you, so you don't have to worry about human traffickers abducting you when you go out with them."

"Mom, I was careless last time. I won't do it again. Can you tell them to stop following me?"

Jiang Ze'en was helpless. Now he couldn't even go out in peace with four people following him. No matter where he went, he would always attract other people's attention. He really didn't like this.

But he knew that it was impossible to explain to his mother. After all, what happened last time not only scared his parents half to death, but he was still frightened when he thought about it.

If it weren’t for Sister Li, I’m afraid he would have been sold to who knows where by human traffickers.

I heard that good-looking kids like him would be sent to shady places in order to be sold at a high price.

And he was born into a wealthy family, so he came into contact with many people and things. Even though he was young, he had heard that some young masters liked to play that kind of thing.

Therefore, the moment Sister Li rescued him, he was really grateful to Sister Li for saving him from the fate of being played with by others.

And he was really happy during the days he lived in Xinghua Village.

Although the living conditions in the village were not good, he felt very comfortable living in Sister Li's house, which was more comfortable than the yard his parents had spent a lot of effort to build for him.

Because he was living at Sister Li's house with a dozen abducted children, they were all about the same age and had common topics to play with.

What's more, there are many fun things to do in the village, such as catching fish in the river, catching birds from trees, catching locusts in the fields, and eating the delicious food made by Sister Li.

After a crazy day of fun, everyone eats and drinks to their heart's content and falls asleep without having to worry about whether they have completed their homework. What a wonderful life!

But he was sent back home after just a few days.

Although he also missed his parents, they were not as fun as catching locusts.

He wanted to go to the village and catch locusts, but every time he saw his mother getting worried and unable to sleep at night, he couldn't bring himself to say that he wanted to go to Xinghua Village.

After a long time, he lost the energy to do anything and had no appetite for food.

"Son, it's time to eat. Mother has asked someone to cook your favorite dishes. Let's go and eat."

When Jiang Zeen heard this, he replied blankly: "Oh!"

He was not hungry at all and did not want to eat at all, but his mother had said that it was specially made for him and he could not refuse, otherwise his mother would be sad.

Jiang Zeen thought so and passively followed Mrs. Jiang to the dining room.
