Not long after, Uncle Li came over with a woman.
"Miss, this person said that he knows Ma Xiaolong and his family."
Lin Xiaotang raised his eyebrows, stood on the ground, and walked over.
The woman was carrying a vegetable basket and looked at this chivalrous woman with extraordinary temperament. She knew clearly that they must be people of noble status. A flattering smile appeared on her withered face.
"Hey, hey, miss! Xiaolong and I live on the same street."
The girl nodded and mounted the horse. Uncle Li took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the woman.
The woman ran forward diligently, shouted with her loud voice, and led the way for the two of them.
After spending half a stick of incense, they came to the entrance of an alley. The ground was muddy, a lot of garbage was piled up, flies were hovering above it, and a stench spread out.
Taking off her straw sandals, the woman was accustomed to all this, revealing a pair of black feet. She carried the vegetable basket and jumped into the smelly muddy water.
Lin Xiaotang in the back frowned. She had lived in fine clothes since she was a child and had to bathe every day. How had she ever seen such an indescribable scene.
Holding the small Qiong nose, fortunately, they were riding horses, one in front of the other, and the horses' hooves waded through the muddy water.
After passing through a quagmire, they came to a mud house made of adobe.
"Miss, sir, this is the Xiaolong family's house."
The woman gave a flattering smile, revealing her big crooked yellow teeth.
After leaving a word, the woman left. She had to go back to cook for the children at home.
Uncle Li jumped off the horse, stepped forward, and knocked on the wooden door covered with mud stars.
After waiting for a long time, there was a crash and the door opened.
A woman with a haggard face and prominent cheekbones came out. Her eyes were numb, and her flaky lips were open, revealing festering flesh.
"You...are you that little bastard's helper?!"
Her voice was like the sound of crushed dry leaves.
It makes people feel exhausted and their mental state is very tense.
Hearing Uncle Li's look of confusion, he looked at the woman carefully and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"We are here to find Ma Xiaolong. Are you his mother?"
Uncle Li smiled gently.
Ma Xiaolong's mother's numb eyes flashed, and she took a look at the clothes of the man in front of her, and found that he was wearing a silk gown. The fabric looked bright and delicate, and he looked like a rich man.
"Are you here to buy my child?!"
Roaring her voice, Ma Xiaolong's mother looked like she was going crazy.
Hearing this, Uncle Li was stunned for a while. How come they are adult traffickers?
Soon, Ma Xiaolong’s mother leaned against the wooden door, raised her face, and giggled:
"Yeah...it's not impossible, a bag of rice, give me a bag of rice."
"you misunderstood……"
"Half a bag...half a bag! I...I only want half a bag...Can you do it? Can you do it? Please."
Ma Xiaolong's mother slowly slid down from the wooden door and knelt on the ground. Her red and swollen eyelids were filled with yellow eye droppings, mixed with tears and dripping on the ground.
After being silent for a long time, Uncle Li took out a tael of silver, knelt down and handed it to her.
"We are not those black traffickers, we are here to thank your child. Without his help, we would not have been able to catch the criminal."
"Um...are you good people? Cough, cough, cough!"
With a stunned look on her face, Ma Xiaolong's mother understood something. She twitched her neck, lowered her head suddenly, and coughed up a trace of black blood.
"Are you poisoned? What happened?!"
Uncle Li, who was experienced, stretched out his palm and held her down. The inner energy came out of his palm to regulate her body.
After a while, Uncle Li's forehead began to sweat. He put away his palms, pressed his hands to his dantian, and exhaled a breath of white air.
Lin Xiaotang, who heard the sound, ran over and saw Ma Xiaolong's mother half-kneeling on the ground, looking weak. She asked anxiously:
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with her?"
"Miss, she was poisoned. It seems to be arsenic poisoning. Fortunately, she didn't eat much. She can be saved."
Opening his eyes, Uncle Li paused and responded.
"Where is Ma Xiaolong?"
Lin Xiaotang saw Ma Xiaolong's mother waking up and asked immediately.
"In...in the main room, I beg you to save him!"
With half-squinted eyes, Ma Xiaolong's mother's voice sounded weak.
As soon as he heard that Ma Xiaolong was in danger, Lin Xiaotang looked anxious and rushed into the house immediately.
Entering the house, she immediately saw a little boy lying on a bed. His thin body was covered with a torn quilt.
"Xiaolong! How are you?"
Lin Xiaotang squeezed his little hand and her eyes turned red. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, this cute little boy would become like this.
Suddenly, Ma Xiaolong coughed, opened his eyes slightly, turned his head back and forth, as if he couldn't see the girl in front of him, and a smile appeared on his chubby face.
"Sister Lin? Is that you? Have you come to see Xiaolong? Hahaha."
Feeling a pain in her heart, Lin Xiaotang held his hand tightly and waved her other hand in front of the little boy's eyes.
"Xiaolong! Can't you see your sister?"
After hearing Sister Lin's words, the smile on the little boy's face gradually disappeared and he fell into silence.
Before she could continue to ask, the wooden door was pushed open violently, and Ma Xiaolong's mother broke in, running and crying.
"Hey! It's all that little beast's fault!"
Cursing loudly, she clutched her stomach and walked to a wooden bed. There was a dirty cotton cloth on the bed, which seemed to cover a bulging thing.
The purple palm held a corner of the cotton cloth and lifted it hard, revealing a lifeless corpse underneath.
The corpse looked very strong, with straight shoulders, and he looked like a strong farmer.
"Old Ma! You died so miserably! It's easy for you to die. How are we supposed to live together!!!"
Ma Xiaolong's mother lay on the body and cried.
At this time, Uncle Li walked in from the outside, a little helpless, he didn't notice the woman.
The woman's cries reached Lin Xiaotang's ears, and a ball of anger arose in her heart.
How dare someone kill someone on her father's territory! It’s so lawless!
"Who! Who is it?! Who did it? I am the daughter of the Lord of Yangcheng City. I promise to give you justice!"
Lin Xiaotang stood up, took off the power fence, and revealed her beautiful face. Such a beautiful girl made Ma Xiaolong's mother stunned for a moment.
After a while, she woke up, her face full of resentment.
"Lu Sheng! Lu Sheng, the bun seller! It's this little beast! He must have poisoned the buns!"
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
These hateful words made Lin Xiaotang feel angry.
After looking at the quiet little boy lying on the bed, she said directly:
"Don't worry! I will catch this evil guy!"
"Miss, calm down! Let's understand the reason first."
Uncle Li reminded him to be cautious when doing things. If the lady is careless, bad things will happen.
"Uncle Li! What else do you know! Hurry up and arrest the person and execute him directly according to the law!"
Lin Xiaotang looked impatient. She couldn't accept the bad guys getting away with it.
Sighing, Uncle Li smiled helplessly, Miss, everything is good, but if you are too jealous, you will suffer in the future.
