Early the next morning, before Yinyin got up, Xiao Liuzi came knocking on her door.

Yinyin was woken up and forgot that she was still sleeping under the bed. She sat up suddenly and hit her head hard with a "bang".

Oh my god, it hurts!

Yinyin covered her forehead and crawled out from under the bed.

"Little sister, what's that noise?" Xiao Liuzi outside the door heard the noise and shouted.

"It's okay, I just fell down in a hurry. I opened the door right away." Yinyin put down her hand and looked in the mirror. Fortunately, there was no swelling, just a little redness.

After looking at the bed, Yinyin dragged out the bedding from under the bed and stuffed it all into the cabinet.

Then I looked at my body and found that everything was fine.

Yinyin went to open the door, complaining, "Brother, why are you disturbing my sweet sleep so early in the morning?"

"What dream?" Xiao Liuzi didn't understand. "You were dreaming?"

"Never mind the dream. Look," Xiao Liuzi took out the pistol hidden behind his back. "What is this?"

"Oh, a pistol!" Yin Yin's eyes lit up. "Thank you, brother, you're so kind!"

"Hehe," Xiao Liuzi felt a little embarrassed in front of Yinyin, who was smiling like a flower, "It's also because Dad is very reasonable. He agreed as soon as I said it."

"No matter what, you're good to me, brother!" Yin Yin was really touched. She took the pistol and looked at it. There were still five bullets.

"Little sister, your pistol is a little special. The bullets are different from the ones we use." Xiao Liuzi said with a bit of regret, "There are only five bullets left. Once you use them, there will be no more!"

It was good that Yin Yin wasn't greedy. "That's enough. I don't often... ahem, no, I mean, I don't often meet bad people."

"How could I be so unlucky? Haha!" Yinyin laughed twice to hide her embarrassment.

When she escaped from Cao's house, she had two pistols.

He took a full magazine of bullets from a soldier of Cao's army and shot them all at Cao Shaolin and Zhang Yi.

There is another gun, the one in front of you. It was originally placed in a small box and had quite a few bullets.

It’s just that this world is too dark, and I have wasted a lot along the way.

Finally, only five were left!

"It's okay. When you run out of bullets, I'll give you a pistol with plenty of bullets." Xiao Liuzi said generously.

"Thank you, brother!" Yin Yin said in surprise.

"You're welcome, I'm your elder brother!" Xiao Liuzi waved his hand and then invited Yinyin, "I have nothing to do today, do you want to go out and have some fun, and explore Goose City?"

"Okay, brother, wait for me to change my clothes!" Yin Yin agreed.

……

The remote small county town of Echeng seems to have been forgotten by time.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and there were almost no women to be seen. Only men were wandering around.

Yinyin and Xiaoliuzi first went to the tailor shop to order a new set of clothes.

The tailor shop is not big, and it is filled with various fabrics and clothes.

The middle-aged boss greeted Yinyin and Xiao Liuzi warmly, asking about their needs. Yinyin chose a piece of blue fabric to make a cheongsam, while Xiao Liuzi chose a piece of gray fabric to make a long gown.

The tailor expertly took their measurements and told them they could pick up the clothes in three days. Yinyin and Xiaoliuzi paid and left the shop.

They walked on the street, feeling the tranquility and simplicity of this small town.

Passing by a gold and silver shop, Yinyin said she wanted to go and take a look. Xiao Liuzi was not interested in these things, so he told Yinyin to wait for her at the snack shop next door.

Yinyin nodded in agreement, saying that since they were so close, nothing would happen.

What's more, Yinyin touched the pistol at his waist and felt safe.

The shop owner is also a man, and Yinyin was curious, where did all the women go?

Could it be that Huang Silang is a pervert? Women are afraid to leave their homes?

"Boss, who are you selling these jewelry to?"

Except for seeing many women when entering the city, I haven't seen any more in the days that followed.

The boss was a chubby middle-aged man with a smile on his face since Yinyin entered the door. When he heard Yinyin's question, his smile did not change at all.

"Men work outside, women work inside!"

There is such a saying, but it doesn’t mean you should never leave the house, right?

Women from ordinary families also have to work. How is it possible that there are so few women in Goose City who dare to go out?

"Is there a big tiger in Echeng that specializes in eating women?" Yin Yin said with a smile.

The boss smiled apologetically, "Miss, you are joking!"

Master Tang once said that Huang Silang was still involved in human trafficking.

Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows! He’s not even as good as a rabbit?

Yinyin picked out a silver bracelet and a jade amulet for Xiaoliuzi.

The jade isn't of great quality, but it has a good meaning. Xiao Liuzi followed Zhang Muzhi through thick and thin, and the fact that he stayed safe and sound is truly precious!

Just then, there was a noisy sound outside the door, and Yinyin looked outside.

That direction seems...

Yinyin frowned, wondering if something had happened to Xiao Liuzi.

She thought about it and didn't dare to waste time, so she walked quickly towards the door.

"Miss, here are your things!" The boss handed the wrapped box to Yinyin and said with a smile, "Don't be too serious when doing things, and you will be safe and sound."

Yinyin took the jewelry box and glanced at the boss. She felt that he had some hidden meaning, but she didn't care.

She went to the shop next door, but it was empty. Where had Xiao Liuzi gone?

Even the shop owner is not here...

Yinyin quickly ran to the noisiest place, the tea hall!

……

The tea hall was full of people, all men, young and old!

Yinyin stood on tiptoe, but couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

"Brother, brother, are you in there?" Yin Yin shouted.

The men in front of her all turned to look at her, their eyes flickering.

In the lobby, Xiao Liuzi was forced into a desperate situation. He took out a dagger and was about to cut open his belly to let everyone see how many bowls of noodles he had eaten.

Hu Wan and Wu Zhi smiled triumphantly at them and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Brother..." A crisp female voice came, and Xiao Liuzi shuddered. He dropped the dagger in his hand and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'm here!" Xiao Liuzi replied loudly, then raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

When Yinyin heard the response, she didn't care anymore and pushed the crowd aside to squeeze in.

"Please make way, please make way..." After all, she is the daughter of the county magistrate, so she still has some face.

Everyone made way for her and she walked over.

The lobby was also full of people, all of whom had some power in Goose City.

Hu Wan saw Yin Yin and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Ma, long time no see."

Yinyin glanced at him without saying anything, and turned her eyes to Xiao Liuzi.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" Yinyin stepped forward and took Xiaoliuzi's hand. "It's getting late, let's go home!"

As he said that, he was about to pull Xiao Liuzi away.

Hu Wan stepped forward to stop Yin Yin, "Miss Ma, you can't leave."

"Why can't you leave?"

"Miss Ma can leave, but your brother can't." Hu Wan smiled maliciously, "He ate a free meal and bullied a poor, honest man."

Wu Zhi rushed forward and bowed, "I don't believe the county magistrate's son would eat two bowls of noodles and only pay for one. So, for the sake of fairness that the county magistrate mentioned, we'd better make it clear."

"We can't let everyone misunderstand us, right?"

Yinyin looked around and saw that everyone was just watching coldly, indifferent and heartless.
