Good luck every time

Patriarch Li didn't have time to figure out what he was thinking now, so he didn't say anything when he saw him following him.

Li Er looked at Li Shuanzi who was kneeling on the ground, and he felt a little guilty.

However, he remembered what Li Ruyi said to him.

Once this matter is exposed, not only will the person who hid the three grandsons of the Li family be held accountable, but the theft of the Li family's food will also be exposed.

Li Er looked at his grandfather, feeling a little worried.

His grandfather was more arrogant than him. He sat in the corner of the kang with his arms hunched, looking smaller than everyone else.

As if sensing Li Er's nervousness, Li Shiliu bumped him slightly, not too hard or too lightly, and it didn't seem like anything, but it made Li Er relax a little immediately.

Li Dacheng was quite anxious and asked Li Er as soon as he saw him.

"Where did you hide my son?"

Li Er's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Li Dacheng with disbelief and fear in his eyes.

He felt that he should not leave any traces. How could Li Dacheng know that it was him who did it?

Li Dacheng was about to get angry when he saw him like this, but Li Shiliu, who was standing next to Li Er, opened his mouth and asked.

"Uncle Dacheng, don't scare him. We have all heard that your child is not lost at all. You are just looking for someone to take the blame to fool Li Ruyi!"

Li Shiliu was actually also afraid, his palms were full of sweat, but he had to clean up the mess for Li Er.

Li Er then realized that Li Dacheng was deceiving him, and he came back to his senses from the fear just now.

He lowered his head and his hands were shaking with nervousness.

He was just a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, surrounded by a group of elders like this, and he did something that made him feel guilty. Only a few people could remain calm.

Li Er felt that if he continued like this he would definitely be exposed, so he had to think of a solution.

Li Dacheng was a little anxious because he couldn't catch Li Er's weakness.

Li Dacheng was shocked by Li Shiliu's words.

"What did you say? Who said that?"

The corners of Li Dacheng's mouth still had bruises from Li Ruyi's beating. His son was lost, and someone was poking at his precarious self-esteem, causing him to explode instantly.

His outburst frightened Li Er again.

Li Shiliu quickly pulled him behind him and answered timidly.

"It's all...all spread...and it's not me who said it..."

Li Shiliu was also very panicked and went to see his grandfather.

It seemed that the old man had eaten something wrong or what, but he stretched his neck and vomited, as if he didn't notice anything unusual about them.

Li Shiba was a fool and had no idea of ​​fear. He stood on the other side of Li Shiliu, looked at the furious Li Dacheng, and then looked at his two brothers, who were standing there with their necks stiff.

Seeing that Li Dacheng was going crazy, Patriarch Li frowned and stopped him.

"Alright! Let them talk about what happened today and see if they can find the three children. The rest will be dealt with after the children are found."

Li Dacheng's eyes were red with anger, but after hearing what Patriarch Li said, he endured it and took two steps back to his previous position. Li Daxing patted his shoulder, but he shrugged it down.

"You guys, tell me about the fight you had before. Why did it happen? How did it go? Give me details."

Li Er lowered his head and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Li let out a breath and patiently tried to comfort him.

"We won't wrongly accuse you of anything that has nothing to do with you, but those three children are really missing, and we are worried. Just tell us everything you know."

Li Er's ears were now filled with the sound of his own heartbeat. Feeling the gaze of Li Shiliu beside him, he also glanced at Li Shiliu, then lowered his head and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I just caught a few fish and wanted to find a deserted place to grill them and eat them."

"Then Li Shuanzi came and asked for it. I didn't give it to him, so I ran away."

"I ran... I ran to the riverside. I saw that Li Shuanzi hadn't come, so I continued to grill fish. Later, Li Shuanzi came and brought people with him. I remember there were only four people. I didn't see Li Quanzi and his group."

"They wanted to steal my fish, so I ran away again, and I dropped two fish while running..."

"Then, I was afraid they would rob me, so I walked around for a while, but couldn't find a place to grill fish, so I went home to find my eighteenth and sixteenth brothers, and the three of us went back to find Li Shuanzi..."

Li Ershi raised his head and glanced at Patriarch Li. Seeing that the reaction on his face seemed normal, he continued speaking.

"They beat up Li Shuanzi and the people he brought with him! But I really didn't see Li Quanzi and the others!"

"Otherwise I wouldn't be so scared..."

Speaking of fear, Li Er was really scared.

"They all said that this afternoon, my uncle and my third uncle went to Li Ruyi's place to smash things, but they didn't do anything. I... I..."

When Li Er said this, his face wrinkled and he burst into tears.

"I just stole some salted fish from Li Ruyi, I didn't mean it... I... wuwuwu... I was just too hungry... Don't let me take the blame, she will definitely beat me to death... She's beaten me once before, wuwuwu..."

Seeing Li Er crying, Li Shiliu's heart skipped a beat.

He was a little at a loss. In the eyes of others, seeing his brother crying like this was a bit scary.

But Li Shiliu knew his younger brother Li Er too well, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

When everyone heard that it was stealing salted fish, they were speechless.

Those who were nervous just now because of waiting for news now had their own reactions, either moving their bodies or sighing silently.

Li Ershi couldn't stop crying. She was sobbing and out of breath that she couldn't speak clearly.

Patriarch Li had no choice but to let Li Shiliu speak.

Li Shiliu was much more frank than Li Er. He told him everything he had done today, even describing in detail where he started, where he went, where he saw Li Shuanzi, and the approximate location and distance.

It’s basically the same as what Li Er said.

The most important thing is that the three brothers went to look for Li Shuanzi together, and they did not see Li Quanzi and the other two at that time.

This is not something that can be lied about. In addition to the three brothers, there are also people brought by Li Shuanzi.

There are so many people and so many eyes, it is impossible to remember it wrongly.

When the questioning was over, Li Er was still crying.

Patriarch Li gained nothing, but old man Li was not going to stay up all night with them. He yawned and called his grandchildren to go home.

On the way back, the four of them, grandfather and grandson, did not speak.

It was not until he returned home that Li Shiliu found an opportunity to talk to Li Er alone.

It was late at night, and Li Shiliu was worried that someone looking for someone might pass by and eavesdrop, so he took Li Er to the warehouse at home.

This barn is just a simple wooden shed with a thatched roof, where firewood can be stored in the winter.

He lowered his voice and asked Li Er.

"You did it, didn't you?"

Li Er didn't want to admit it.

Li Shiliu took a deep breath.

"Why did you do this? Do you know how serious the consequences of this are?"

Li Er remained silent and didn't want to admit it.

Li Shiliu was speechless.

"Why don't you admit it at this point? What do you want? What if something goes wrong?"

Li Eryi said nothing. Li Shiliu asked him questions to no avail, so he could only punch him.

"For the last time! For the last time! If you do this again, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"

After saying that, he walked out of the warehouse without looking back.
