"No, let's hurry over."
Chu Yanhong put down the chicken legs with some reluctance. In fact, she felt something was wrong just now, but she was not sure.
"Eat it!" Xiao Ran put the chicken legs back into Chu Yanhong's hands: "It won't take long."
Really unable to resist the temptation, Chu Yanhong nodded repeatedly, but her eating progress was much faster.
They were all wiped out in less than two minutes.
The two of them hurried out and rushed to the location Qingtong had given them before.
As soon as they passed by, they saw Qingtong and Laifu standing at the door, talking to their neighbors.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ran stepped forward.
"Uncle, there's no one inside." Laifu was helpless.
Moved again?
"So fast?"
He guessed that Qingtong might have been discovered, but he didn't expect Chu Tianshu to react so quickly.
"What did you just tell your neighbor?"
Xiao Ran looked at the neighbor with a gossipy face, as if he could know some information.
"Neighbors said they often saw a man coming in and out of here for the past two days. The man just showed up and took the two away."
man?
Chu Yanhong was a little surprised, could it be Chu Sheng?
"Who is that man?"
Laifu shook his head. None of his neighbors knew him.
"Okay, you go back first."
"how about you?"
Chu Yanhong looked at Xiao Ran, as if she wanted to be left alone.
"I'm fine. I'll go investigate later and maybe I can find some information."
There seemed to be some hesitation, but Chu Yanhong glanced at Xiao Ran and nodded.
"Then be careful and don't get caught by them."
Now Chu Sheng and Chu Tianshu must be staring at them.
Xiao Ran nodded, Chu Yanhong, Laifu and the others went back first.
"Auntie, don't worry first."
It turned out that Fu and the others had left, and the neighbor's aunt wanted to leave too.
"What do you want to do?"
The neighbor looked at Xiao Ran warily, a little scared that a grown man was talking to him.
After all, it's going to be dark soon.
"Can you tell me specifically what that man looks like?"
The neighbor shook his head: "That man basically covered his face and couldn't see clearly."
"Hide your face?"
After being surprised for a moment, Xiao Ran asked again: "Approximately how high is it?"
Could it be the masked man I met before?
How could it possibly be from Chu Tianshu? Will his people give him that piece of evidence?
Everything is so unreasonable!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Yes, you can't see it at all." The neighbor nodded repeatedly.
"You don't know your height?"
"forget."
Looking at the neighbor, Xiao Ran smiled: "Okay, then I won't disturb you."
"Uh-huh!"
The neighbor nodded repeatedly and quickly returned to his yard.
After staring at the neighbor's location for a long time, Xiao Ran felt that something must be wrong inside.
If a masked man appeared here, everyone would take a curious look. How could there be no information at all?
Xiao Ran walked to the door of the courtyard. The outside was surrounded by a wall made of earth, which was nearly two meters high. Xiao Ran couldn't see what was inside the courtyard.
After walking around, I saw the back door, but it was also locked, making it impossible to get in.
"It's quite strict."
This neighbor must know something, but he just doesn't want to reveal it.
It was difficult for Xiao Ran to guess the reason.
"There's a thief!"
Suddenly, a childish scream came from behind, startling Xiao Ran.
"Someone come quickly..."
When he saw that there was a little girl behind him and she was about to make a sound, Xiao Ran quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"I'm not a thief!"
Xiao Ran broke out in a cold sweat. The little girl looked at Xiao Ran in horror. However, there was a huge gap in strength between her and Xiao Ran, and they couldn't break away at all.
He seemed to hear some noises in the courtyard, and Xiao Ran didn't dare to let go if the little girl shouted again. They will definitely be recruited by the people inside!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at the little girl.
"I'll let you go, as long as you promise not to say anything."
The little girl looked horrified, but nodded anyway.
Xiao Ran slowly let go of his hand.
The next second, the little girl bit Xiao Ran's wrist and ran towards the courtyard!
"hiss!"
Xiao Ran felt pain and quickly followed him.
The little girl belongs to this family, and I must not let her go back!
The little girl took out the key and saw Xiao Ran running towards her from behind, and her hands that opened the lock couldn't help but tremble.
Shivering, Xiao Ran came behind him.
Click!
Just hearing a crisp sound, the little girl was so happy that she opened the courtyard door and was about to go in.
The next second, a pair of big hands stretched out from behind and snatched the little girl back.
"ah!"
Just as the little girl was about to speak, Xiao Ran covered her mouth again.
There was a smell of blood, and he saw that Xiao Ran's wrist had been bitten and bleeding.
"It's over."
The little girl was a little panicked. Couldn't this man kill her and silence her?
"I said, as long as you behave, I won't do anything to you."
Xiao Ran looked at the little girl who was only seven or eight years old and couldn't help but sigh.
The little girl didn't dare to refute anything Xiao Ran said now.
Looking at the open back door, Xiao Ran's eyes darkened.
This is really an unexpected bonus.
"Are you a child of this family?"
Xiao Ran looked at the little girl. If this was the case, he really couldn't let her go.
The little girl shook her head repeatedly.
"What about the liar? You have the key to someone else's house, don't you?"
The little girl's frightened eyes were a little sad, but she still shook her head.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran was a little confused.
"Servant?"
That's not right. This family doesn't look like a wealthy family. How can they afford servants?
The little girl nodded.
Xiao Ran looked at her and spoke slowly: "I have a very good friend who is missing here. I just want to find her. I am not a thief."
The little girl was a little surprised in her eyes, but she was still wary of Xiao Ran in her heart.
"I'll let you go now, don't scream."
Seeing that Xiao Ran was about to let go of herself again, the little girl nodded repeatedly.
It's just that Xiao Ran was smart this time and took out a dagger, so he still had to scare the child.
This kid is a bit too scheming, so he has to be careful.
Sure enough, it worked. The moment she saw the dagger, the little girl didn't dare to move.
Slowly letting go of her hand, the little girl looked at Xiao Ran: "Who are you?"
"I should ask you, who are you? How come you come here to be a servant?"
The little girl was a little surprised, but she still shook her head: "Actually, it doesn't count."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment: "Then you are?"
"My name is Liu Si, and I am the child bride of this family."
After understanding it, Xiao Ran realized that the family had picked up the willow silk on the roadside and originally wanted to serve as a child bride for their son.
But her son accidentally drowned when he was ten years old, and Liu Si's situation suddenly became a little embarrassing.
The whole family felt that Liusike had killed their son, and they beat and scolded her.
"Then why don't you leave?"
Xiao Ran sighed, no wonder he had that reaction just now, he was also a poor person!
"Where can I go?" Liu Si frowned.
