Ban Chenglin suddenly became nervous when he heard this, and quickly quickened his pace while thanking Mr. Sun.
Sun didn't stop being polite to Ban Chenglin, but held up her skirt and followed Ban Chenglin closely.
But the two of them searched around the river, not to mention finding the shadow of the second grandson of the Ban family, and they didn't even see any of the other children.
I met a villager and asked about it.
The villager said: In the afternoon, there were indeed seven or eight children fishing in the river. Later, I asked the master in the school to call him back.
In Dijiazhuang, there are free schools, and everything is free. Children will also be provided with a free lunch at noon.
Masters are also learned people.
They are just people who don't want to get involved in court affairs, or are like Lin Xianjun's wife, Zeng Xuezhi.
When I'm free, I help teach the children in the village. On weekdays, I also control the children's words and deeds.
To prevent them from growing crooked or getting into trouble.
Therefore, it is completely reasonable for a master to call children back when they see them playing in the water.
Sun and Ban Chenglin were about to rush to the school.
The villager who kindly provided the information also followed them.
The people in Dijiazhuang are like a big family. When something happens, they all come together. Of course the same goes for finding someone.
This river is also the river that protects the village, passing not far outside the village wall.
At this time, the three of them were all in the woods beside the river outside the village.
Mrs. Sun was still comforting Ban Chenglin who was walking in front of her: "Don't worry, as long as the master is watching, the child will be fine."
As a result, before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a cold knife suddenly appear from her left side and pierced Ban Chenglin's back of the heart.
Sun: "..."
The incident happened so suddenly that Sun didn't react at all. She stood there blankly, watching Ban Chenglin fall.
He fell towards her.
…
The timeline goes back. Two days ago.
The husband of Qi Shuo and Di Yilan was a third-rank official.
Although the Qi family still lived in Dijiazhuang, Qi Shuo also purchased several maids and servants in order to better take care of his parents.
Not much, just two maids and two boys.
The maid would accompany her mother to take care of the housework, and the young boy would follow Qi's father, going to the fields to farm or walking around every day.
In fact, this is something that cannot be avoided. The so-called getting ahead and wanting your family to live a better life are nothing more than that.
No one is exempt from vulgarity. Even the Di Mansion has maids and servants.
The ones Qi Shuo purchased were all orphans, and he also conducted detailed investigations into their origins and life experiences.
However, Qi Shuo ignored one thing: people grow up and have emotions.
The two maids are already fifteen years old now, which is the time when youth is budding.
On this day, Xiaocao went to Dadu City to buy some needles and threads on the order of Qi's mother, Sun Shi.
As a result, the money bag was lost.
"Catch the thief!"
She watched the thief who stole her purse run forward quickly, and she chased him while pointing at the thief and shouting loudly.
Xiaocao was bought into the Qi Mansion when she was ten years old. After living in Dijiazhuang for five years, her legs and feet were naturally strong and nimble.
She chased him very quickly.
But without paying attention, he chased the thief into a dead alley.
Seeing that there was no way to escape ahead, Tou'er took out the dagger from his leggings and stabbed the grass with his backhand.
Xiaocao was so frightened that she screamed, turned around and ran away.
But this was already the end of the alley, and there was a longer narrow road ahead. Before she could reach the end, Tou'er caught up with him and stabbed her in the back with a knife.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and kicked Tao'er away.
The visitor landed in front of Xiaocao, less than half a meter away.
Xiaocao looked up in shock and saw the other person's overly handsome face. I was stunned for a moment.
In fact, Xiaocao has seen quite a few handsome young men.
There is no one ugly around Mr. Di. Even with his big beard, Nie Bo still looks handsome if you look closely.
Especially Peng Liang, Xie Jing and Zhou Lin are like dragons and jade among men, and few can match them.
The man in front of him was actually a little handsomer, but in Xiaocao's eyes, he was like a shining god, and he could see into his heart at once.
The other person's breath hit her face, and his voice was extremely gentle and pleasant.
"Are you OK?"
Xiaocao immediately shook his head like a rattle, but couldn't bear to look away from the other person's face.
It wasn't until she saw herself in the other person's dark eyes that Xiaocao realized that her description was very embarrassing, and she quickly stood a little further away from the other person with a blushing face.
But Tou'er had already run away when they were looking at each other.
He didn't even bother to pick up the money bag.
The man picked it up and handed it back to Xiaocao.
Xiaocao thanked him gratefully.
After that, the man offered to send Xiaocao back. Xiaocao was eager to do so, so she nodded in agreement.
I even forgot to buy needlework.
In this way, the two walked slowly and talked all the way.
In fact, it is difficult for two strangers to find any kind of huatou. Under the guidance of the man, Xiao Cao'er kept talking about the people and things in Dijiazhuang.
The man listened gently and good-naturedly, only occasionally making comments or responding with a few words. But Xiaocao is already very satisfied and satisfied.
In order to make the other party interested in continuing to listen, she also specially selected people and things that the other party liked to hear.
Twenty miles of land, even the grass feels too short, too short.
When they arrived in front of the east gate of Dijiazhuang and separated, they were reluctant to leave each other.
As soon as they returned, Xiaocao took another maid, Xiaohua, and babbled about today's magical experience.
After hearing this, Xiaohua was also very happy for Xiaocao. He advised Xiaocao to look for more opportunities to go to the city and meet that person.
However, I am reminded that if you want to check the details of that person, it is best to ask the elder Qi Shuo to help you check carefully.
However, Xiaocao felt that it was not good to check others like that when they just met.
In fact, she had more hidden worries in her heart, that is, she was worried that Mr. Qi would not agree.
How can any maid in the family sell her body and go out to marry a stranger?
Even if the other party is just a boy in a teahouse? I definitely won't agree to it.
Xiaocao didn't listen to Xiaohua and hid the matter.
Because she didn't buy any needle and thread, Xiaocao used this as an excuse to go into the city early the next morning.
Qi's mother, Mrs. Sun, is a very tolerant and sensible person. Yesterday I heard Xiaocao say that she forgot to buy needle and thread, but she didn't blame her. Today I saw him going out early in the morning. I thought it was Xiaocao who was feeling guilty, so he kindly comforted her with a few words.
Little did he know that Xiaocao's heart had already flown to that strange man.
