Shen Lingzhu bit her lip and scratched her ear, unable to think of anything for a moment, and then she heard her senior sister say, "If you are not strong enough, you must hide first. These people are currently being tracked down by the government.

You have also seen wanted portraits. Although simple, the features are obvious and, supplemented by text descriptions, they can indeed help catch people.

For us, it’s about what the people behind it want to do.”

"Mr. Shi again?"

"I don't know. The two people whose children were lost were beaten to death, and they only confessed that there was a man wearing a hat that covered his entire face. He found their eldest brother and gave him 100 taels, and specifically asked him to sell you and me to a brothel in Nanyang.

They don't care who the other party is or what they look like, as long as they are paid enough money, they will do it."

"Damn it!" This was a deliberate act of harming others. Shen Lingzhu gritted his teeth and forgot about the injury on his hand as he clenched his fist. Ha, it hurt a little because he clenched his fist too hard.

"For a long time to come, my aunt and my elder brother will keep a close eye on us." Shen Miaozhu was worried. She felt she had no freedom because people were watching her all the time.

"What are you guys whispering about outside? Second sister, please help hold the lamp." Shen Xianzhu came over carrying two buckets of hot water.

Shen Lingzhu immediately pointed out: "Brother, one bucket is for cold water."

Her poor elder brother was sent back to change the water. After waiting for a long time, Shen Lingzhu finished eating the meal heated up by her senior sister. The three of them returned to the room where they lived, only to see Shen Huai, the head of the family, fanning his aunt in the room.

As soon as he saw them coming back, he immediately retracted his hand and pretended to fan himself.

The three siblings looked at each other and tried to hold back their laughter. Shen Xianzhu broke the awkwardness: "Dad, Mom, bring some hot water to warm your feet!"

Mrs. Hu was not as hypocritical as her husband. She pulled Shen Lingzhu aside and asked her what she wanted to eat and sent her uncle to buy it.

Shen Lingzhu didn't let her buy it. She is not picky about food. Tonight's millet porridge with steamed buns and beans is delicious.

The family happily discussed hiring someone and a car to leave tomorrow. The three cats, donkeys and dogs that ran out of Daxudian during the day met at an abandoned melon shed more than ten miles away.

Wu Gou, who was pushing the cart, started to scold the two tall and strong men, Big Cat and Two Donkey, "...Idiots, I gave you such a good opportunity, but not only did you not catch one, but you caught two instead.

I told you to throw some coins while people were grabbing peaches so you could take more children. Why didn't you do it?"

"Fifth brother, that man is holding a knife and the child is also fierce, look." Big Cat and Two Donkeys both showed their injured little arms.

Wu Gou glanced at them and said, "It's useless. Now that we haven't snatched the person away, not only will we not get the remaining one hundred taels of silver, we may not even be able to keep the money we gave you before."

"And we want our money back! Long Sanhu Sibai were caught?" The big cat widened his eyes.

"Don't you want money to escape? Someone in Daludian knows me.

It's best if you don't show up in Baozhou Prefecture for the next six months." When Wu Gou divided the silver between them, he claimed that he had spent a lot of it on buying peaches, carts, and donkeys.

He also said that Long and Hu couldn't see clearly, so everyone spent the money for them, and thus each of them got 25 taels.

He ignored the two brothers' dark faces, divided the money and left into the night. However, he was unexpectedly hit on the head and back by a thick stick when he was halfway there.

"Quick, search me."

"You son of a bitch, you actually stole more than ten taels from us.

Hey, Brother Mao, this guy has some gold jewelry on him."

"It must have been embezzled before. Take it all away. Here, give him a finishing blow."

"I, I don't dare."

As the two men pushed the knives back and forth, Wu Gou on the ground woke up. His will to survive made him jump up and run away with his heart in his hands.

When the cat and the donkey hurriedly picked up the money on the ground and chased after it, it was no longer possible to see where it ran to.

"Brother Cat..."

"He's lucky, let's go."

On the other side, Wu Gou ran for who knows how long before he slipped and fell, never to wake up again.

The Shen family was naturally unaware of this unexpected change.

After a night's rest, they did not set off at dawn as usual. Instead, Shen Huai went to the car rental company to find two tall and strong drivers to escort them.

After having an peaceful breakfast, he waited for the officers to take Long Sanhu Si away before setting off.

As they approached the west gate, Shen Lingzhu suddenly remembered something, "Brother, where is the carriage inn that Auntie mentioned?"

"We're almost there." The car they rented didn't have a carriage. When Shen Xianzhu pointed it out to her, Shen Lingzhu saw several trucks full of goods parked in front of a store on the street.

At this time, the uncle in the car in front came quickly, told the three siblings to get off the car and take good care of Hu, and then quickly went into the inn.

However, just a moment later, Shen Huai came back hurriedly with a letter, "The store owner said that my uncle is old and had a fall not long ago, and has already returned home to recuperate.

We asked the caravan to bring a letter to our cousin's uncle, but the shop owner said that they had not found anyone to deliver it yet.

Second brother, second brother didn’t receive the letter at all.”

Mrs. Hu took the letter and thought that once her house was ransacked, she had no neighbors to rely on.

They finally found a caravan that was willing to help them deliver the letter, but they wanted to go south from Daludian instead of heading west to Shun County.

That's why the master sent another letter to his uncle who worked at the inn, asking him to forward the letter to the village after receiving it.

Unexpectedly, the letter eventually returned to his own hands.

"No wonder my second uncle didn't pick us up." Shen Xianzhu sighed in his heart. It was not as safe to ask someone to deliver a letter as it was to send it via the post station, but his family's letter could not be delivered even if it was placed at the post station.

Shen Lingzhu wanted to say that they should have gone to Beijing to investigate after their hometown was raided, but her senior sister held her down and stopped her from speaking.

"Let's go. It's less than 500 miles away from Beijing. If you were interested, you should have met us halfway." Hu took back the letter and said lightly.

Shen Huai and his son looked at each other, not wanting to say anything on the street, so they waved their hands to let the young driver continue.

The three siblings got back into the last car. Shen Lingzhu wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he walked out of the west gate and said, "Mule carts are more stable. The high side panels won't rub against the wheels.

Brother, how much did the butcher take from that donkey?

And did your uncle also sell the original car?"

But just as she finished asking, the mule cart suddenly stopped, causing the body to become unstable. Shen Xianzhu quickly stood across the back of the cart to prevent the two from sliding off. "What's going on?"

Senior sister Shen Miaozhu held her hand to prevent her from getting hurt again.

"Are you not hurt?" The uncle in the car in front also rushed over.

Just as he finished speaking, the young and strong driver came over carrying a little beggar. "Master Shen, this child deliberately fell in front of the cart. It's an old trick to beg for money."

"If he's not injured, give him a few copper coins to buy food." Shen Huai saw that the other person was about the same height as Xiao Zhuzi, but very thin, and his tattered clothes made people unbearable to look at.

After being released, the little beggar refused to take Shen Xianzhu's money. Instead, he pointed at Shen Lingzhu and said, "You were very good at using the carrying pole yesterday. Do you want to catch someone else?"

"I want to!" Shen Lingzhu immediately understood what he meant, and followed her brother and sister out of the car to tell him in detail.

But Uncle Shen Huai held the little beggar down and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you don't catch them, they will snatch you away?"

"Don't hit the beggar." The little beggar shook his messy hair, and the flying grass and sour smell actually forced Shen Huai to take two steps back.

Shen Lingzhu and the other two also retreated at the same time. They had no choice but to retreat because they were standing behind their uncle.

The little beggar stopped and said, "If you want to go, follow me." Then he turned around and ran away.
