Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

After buying everything they needed, the father and daughter were already tired and hungry.

Shen Li's big eyes suddenly lit up, like two sparkling stars. Her gaze was immediately fixed on the wonton stall she had eaten at last time. Her legs seemed to be fixed, unable to move at all.

Seeing this, Shen Shaodong shook his head helplessly yet fondly, a gentle smile on his lips. He shouted to the stall owner, "Four large bowls of wontons, please." His voice was filled with satisfaction and anticipation.

The stall owner's face was filled with a kind smile, and he responded enthusiastically, "Okay! Please take a seat and wait for a moment. The wontons will be ready soon!"

At this moment, Shen Li looked up and saw Zhang and her brother Shen Xuan coming back.

She was like a happy little swallow, waving her hands excitedly and shouting, "Mom, brother, come and eat wontons! These wontons are so delicious!"

Her shout attracted everyone in the market to look at the wonton stall. Some people seemed to be attracted by the aroma of wontons and shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl of wontons!"

After a while, everyone was seated and the wontons were served on the table.

The wontons exuded an enticing aroma, and the steaming hot air went straight into people's noses.

Shen Li stared at Zhang and her brother Shen Xuan without blinking. After seeing them take a bite of the wonton, she couldn't wait to ask, "Isn't it delicious? I said I must bring mother to try it!"

As she spoke, she carefully took out the wolf cub Xiaoliu from the backpack, and at the same time blew gently on the wontons, hoping that the wontons would cool down quickly so that Xiaoliu could eat them.

Look, happiness is so simple! The family sat together, happily eating wontons, and in the end, they were all full, holding their stomachs and slowly digesting the food. The scene was very warm.

At this time, a young man in long clothes slowly passed by the wonton stall on the street.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the family at the wonton stall who were holding their stomachs, looking like they were extremely amused by something. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He walked leisurely into the wonton stall. After entering the stall, he bowed in the direction of Shen Shaodong's table and said in a rather gentle manner: "You don't mind me and Brother Shen sitting at the same table, do you?"

When Shen Shaodong heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was that person. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully. With a look of surprise on his face, he said, "Sir, are you also here to eat at this wonton stall?"

Shen Li and others sitting nearby saw this scene and were about to stand up and salute as usual, but Bai Jin waved his hand with a casual smile on his face and said, "No need. We are not discussing business today. There is no need to be so polite."

Shen Li's eyes were filled with surprise. She looked the man in front of her carefully from head to toe, but in her memory, she had never seen this person before. Her bright eyes were filled with doubt, and she tilted her head slightly, as if she was trying to think about something.

Bai Jin, who was standing aside, had a faint smile on her lips. That smile was like the ripples on the lake caused by the spring breeze, gentle and charming.

He said to Shen Shaodong sincerely, "Brother Shen, I really envy you from the bottom of my heart. Look, you have such smart and lovely children. This is really a great blessing in life."

Bai Jin's voice was gentle and magnetic, and his words were full of admiration and envy for Shen Shaodong.

Shen Shaodong hurriedly bowed and said with a hearty smile: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. Thank you for the compliment. My son and daughter are just naughty kids, how can they deserve such praise from you?" His face was filled with humility and pride.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise under the table, and Xiaoliu cried out "Awoo, awoo" in an urgent voice, as if he had discovered something incredible.

While shouting, Xiaoliu rushed towards a ragged little beggar on the road like an arrow.

Its small figure shuttled through the crowd, as agile as a cunning little fox.

Seeing this, Shen Li didn't hesitate at all and immediately followed him as quickly as a nimble deer. Her eyes were full of determination, and her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a gorgeous light flashing across the street.

Why did Shen Li run so fast? It turned out that she heard Xiaoliu shouting: "There's a thief over there, I'm going to bite him to death!" Although Xiaoliu's voice was childish, it was full of anger and a sense of justice.

Xiaoliu and Shen Li chased after him relentlessly. The little beggar panicked and his steps became unsteady.

He looked back in horror, suddenly dropped the purse in his hand, and ran away.

As soon as the purse fell to the ground, a woman behind it immediately discovered that her purse had been stolen.

She was so angry that her face turned red, her eyes were wide open, and she shouted angrily: "Oh! This damned little thief actually stole my purse!"

Her voice was sharp and angry, echoing through the streets.

Shen Li ran like the wind and was about to catch up with the little beggar.

She picked up Xiaoliu, swung her arm hard, and threw him towards the thief.

Xiao Liu screamed in the air: "Ah! Ah! Ah! Shen Li, you are embarrassing me! Ah~!"

The sound stopped abruptly when it hit the man, because it had hit the thief's head hard.

The thief was dizzy from the sudden collision and fainted along with Xiaoliu.

Meanwhile, Shen Shaodong and Bai Jin had also hurried over. Their steps were hurried, their faces filled with concern and anxiety. Zhang and Shen Xuan also ran up behind them, panting, their eyes filled with curiosity and worry.

In an instant, the whole street became bustling like a stone dropped into a calm lake.

People gathered around, talking about what had just happened.

Bai Jin turned around and waved in one direction. As if by magic, two officers suddenly appeared from nowhere.

They were well-trained and quickly took out the rope from their arms and tied up the thief tightly. Then, without saying a word, they took him away. The whole process was clean and neat, without any delay.

Bai Jin looked at Shen Li with a smile in his eyes, and his gaze was like warm sunshine shining on Shen Li.

He smiled and said, "Little girl, you have done something great again this time!" After that, he patted Shen Shaodong on the shoulder again, and his smile became even more intense: "Brother Shen, I envy you again for having such a brave and clever daughter."

Shen Li squatted down, picked up Xiaoliu, and gently patted the dirt off its body, just like treating her most precious treasure.

Then she raised her head, turned to Bai Jin with shining eyes and asked: "Have you seen me? Do I know you?" There was innocence and curiosity in her eyes.

Shen Shaodong hurriedly said, "Li'er, don't be rude. This is Lord Bai! It was Lord Bai who gave you 20 taels last time!" There was a hint of blame in his tone, but more of it was a lesson to his daughter.

When Shen Li heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. Like a puppy that had seen a bone, she came over excitedly and asked with anticipation in her eyes, "Is there a reward for catching a thief today?"

Bai Jin was a little surprised when he saw the wolf cub in her hand up close.

He looked at the furry little creature and thought to himself: Is she raising a wolf? How interesting!

So he smiled and pointed at the wolf in Shen Li's arms and asked: "Of course there is a reward! Can you tell me where such a good dog came from? I want to raise one too!"

He deliberately called the wolf a dog, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

When Shen Li heard him asking about the wolf cub, her eyes rolled around and she instantly had an idea.

Then he said, "Sir, you wanted this little white dog! Hey, what a coincidence! This dog is the only puppy born to my neighbor's bitch!"

As she spoke, she took a special look at the little white wolf cub, then continued slowly, "You say this is strange, the pup's mother died just after it was born! The aunt saw that the pup was so thin and sickly, she thought it might not survive, so she cruelly abandoned it in the mountains."

As Shen Li spoke, she spread out her hands, a helpless look on her face: "Look, when I saw this puppy by chance, I found that it was still alive, so I picked it up.

You don’t know, I didn’t have much to eat myself, but even so, I couldn’t bear to let this little guy starve, so I fed it everything I could eat, and that’s how I managed to keep it alive.”

She thought to herself: Fortunately, Xiaoliu is unconscious, otherwise she might have argued with her for a long time.

Bai Jin listened to her story quietly. She spoke vividly, as if what she said was the absolute truth.

But Bai Jin didn't intend to care about these things. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The subtle smile clearly showed that he was in a very happy mood at the moment.
