Wei Yingluo put down the Datang Daily in her hand, waved to the child who was still arguing, and said: "Little Shitou, come here, sister wants to ask you something."
Xiao Shitou was stunned and pointed at himself. Seeing Wei Yingluo nodding and confirming that she was calling him, Xiao Shitou stood in front of Wei Yingluo with his chest puffed out as if he had received an honor.
For the children in this courtyard, Wei Yingluo is like a god in their hearts. Even though these children are talking and laughing with the maid, they don't dare to make any mistakes in front of Wei Yingluo. They usually don't dare to do anything wrong.
They took the initiative to talk to her. Only when Wei Yingluo took the initiative did they dare to say a few words to her.
Even just one sentence is enough to show off for several days.
Wei Yingluo knelt down and asked: "Little Shitou, you just said that the noble man who gave you steamed buns was called Lord Marquis by others?"
"Um!"
Xiao Shitou's expression was serious, for fear of missing a word. He answered whatever Wei Yingluo asked and didn't dare to say more.
"There is a big man next to him and a person wearing a mask?"
"Um!"
Little Shitou nodded heavily, wondering in his heart, "Is he someone my sister knows?"
Wei Yingluo smiled, touched Xiao Shitou's head and said, "It's someone my sister knows. Go ahead."
Xiao Shitou turned around and ran away, and Wei Yingluo picked up the Datang Daily again. She knew that the person Xiao Shitou was talking about must be Li Mu. She just didn't expect that an 'evil person' like Li Mu could have such a kind side.

But this is just an interlude. The most important thing now is to solve the puzzle and get the bounty. Each question costs at least fifty strings. With these fifty strings, I can buy grain and make porridge, which can at least feed these children.
I'll have a full stomach for a month. If I can solve two problems, maybe I can buy some coal. When it snows, these children won't freeze.
"Mandarin ducks play in the water, and butterflies fall in love with flowers. I have thousands of tender feelings. Who can I blend with in this life..." Wei Yingluo walked to the wall and whispered the title of the puzzle, and she couldn't help but feel in her heart.
I admire Li Mu's talent. Even a word puzzle can be so catchy.
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded above his head: "...Hongdou is originally a lovesick seed, and it was planted in my heart in the past life. I am waiting for the chance to meet again and enjoy the spring, summer, autumn and winter together. Miss Wei, are you overwhelmed by my talent?"
Wei Yingluo was startled, and subconsciously raised her head to see Li Mu squatting on the wall, looking at him with a smile. It turned out that when Wei Yingluo asked Xiao Shitou, Er Gou had already sent someone back to deliver the letter, and the three brothers Li Mu had
Horse, so he came over quickly.
Hearing Wei Yingluo's exclamation, the children who were eating porridge all put down their broken bowls and gathered around her. Although they didn't know what they could do, they still gathered when they saw Wei Yingluo facing danger.
He stood in front of her with his weak body.
Everyone looked at Li Mu with fearful eyes and pursed their lips nervously, but no one backed away, not one.
"Children, don't be nervous, he is not a bad person. You all go back and eat porridge..." Wei Yingluo tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. The children still gathered around her tightly.
Li Mu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that there were so many beggars here, ten or twenty of them. He glanced at the big pot in the courtyard. It was true that they were cooking porridge, but this porridge was not clear soup.
Water may be more appropriately called rice soup.
Li Mu raised his eyelids, looked down at the children, and said with a fierce face: "What do you mean? You think of me as a villain? That's unreasonable! What do you want to do, can you stop me? It's annoying!"
Wei Yingluo believed in her heart that Li Mu was a bad person and was worried that he would be harmful to the children, so she quickly said: "Don't be angry, the children are not sensible, I apologize to you..."
"It's no use!" Li Mu said with a sullen face, "Well, Wei Yingluo, when I saw my master, not only did I not call him master, I didn't even bother to call him marquis. I also found such a large group of helpers because I was alone.
, outnumbered?"
"This..." Wei Yingluo looked at the children around her, and then at the serious-looking Li Mu, she couldn't laugh or cry, what's going on here!
Li Mu snorted angrily and said, "Where are my people!"
Li Chongyi, who was squatting behind the wall, was the first to stand up. Ergou and others also jumped down from all directions, surrounding the children. Li Chongyi was eight feet tall, half a head taller than the seven-foot wall. Little Stone See
He caught him, pointed quickly and said: "Did you see, I didn't lie? There really are people as high as the eaves!"
The maid quickly pressed down his hand, glared at him fiercely, and whispered: "What time has it been? You are still pointing randomly, you don't need your little paw!"
"? That girl is right! Baby, you dare to accuse me? Well done! I haven't eaten a baby for a few days, so I will use you to satisfy my craving today. You know pig's trotters, human hooves are more delicious,
I will eat you today! Ergou, catch the kid for me!"
"promise!"
A group of gangsters responded and reached out to catch the children. A group of teenagers, who were no match for them, picked up two children each and grabbed them all. Some of the wilder children even bit people, but they were not these street gangsters.
Opponents who were born as gangsters were accustomed to fighting in the streets. If they were defeated by a group of children, they would be considered dead at their age.
I saw them wrapping their arms around them, and then pinching the children's numb muscles. The children's bones and muscles suddenly became weak and numb, and their bodies became inoperable. This move is a trick used by people in the market to steal children. Most people don't know how to do it.
, it can be seen from this that what kind of people the two dogs have won over.
When Wei Yingluo saw that the children had been arrested, she was so anxious that she almost shed tears. She glared at Li Mu and said, "These children are already so pitiful, why do you still..." Before she could finish her words, Li Mu pointed out.
Dugujiu touched the wall with his toes, and his figure flew over. He put his finger on Wei Yingluo's neck and knocked her unconscious.
The maid rushed over and was brutally attacked.
Li Mu snorted and said to Ergou: "Check if there are any beggars nearby. If there are any, bring them to Jingdong Ji. There are idle and abandoned houses nearby. Count how many there are. I have them."
usefulness."
"promise!"
"Jiu'er, reward!"
Dugujiu reached into his arms, and this time he pulled out a gold ingot, which was five taels, and threw it to Ergou. After Ergou got the money, he laughed so hard that his eyes were gone. Although the Marquis had a bad temper, he was really generous with his actions.
ah!
In the backyard of the grocery store, there is a large warehouse. It was built by Bai Nao'er to store goods. In one corner, dry firewood is stacked with templates, which also serves as a firewood shed.
Wei Yingluo woke up slowly and saw a blurry shadow in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again. This time her vision was a little clearer. Li Mu was sitting on a chair with a small case next to him and a plate of sauce on the case.
There is a wine pot next to the meat. He is eating the meat with a mouthful of sauce and a mouthful of wine.
Wei Yingluo moved for a moment, but found that she couldn't move at all. When she looked down, she almost shed tears. This inhumane guy actually tied himself to a pillar. And... the binding was very shameful. His ankles were tied together.
Her knees were tied together, her waist was tied up again, and her chest...was tied in a fork shape, which made her face turn red with embarrassment.
"woke up?"
Li Mu took a sip of wine from the flask, swallowed the meat in his mouth, stood up and came to Wei Yingluo. The two looked at each other, and Li Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The smell of sauced meat and wine mixed together, causing Wei Yingluo to cough.
Li Mu looked at her coughing with a smile and said, "Wei Yingluo, I fell into my hands, don't you have anything to say?"
"You are a wicked person!" Wei Yingluo looked at Li Mu hatefully, she didn't know whether it was because she was wronged or because she was being smoked, she shed tears: "How can you have the heart to do something to the children? They are already pitiful enough, they will not survive even a day.
It’s not easy. You...it’s okay if you don’t help them, but if you arrest them, you..."
Li Mu sneered: "Help? Why should I help them? Why should I help them! Is it my fault that they are miserable? Why should I be responsible?"
"..." Wei Yingluo was choked and didn't seem to know how to answer. She paused and continued: "No one asks you to take responsibility, and no one asks you to help, but you can't bully them! Bully them,
Will you be happy?"
"Why are you not happy? People's happiness comes from torturing people. Just like now, I tied you here, and I am very happy." Li Mu approached Wei Yingluo, and Wei Yingluo hid aside, but she was tied up, where
Able to avoid.
Li Mu stopped a finger's width away from Wei Yingluo and said, "If you don't respect Master, today I will make you forget it!"
"What are you going to do!!"
"Hehe..." Li Mu laughed ferociously and said, "What else can I do? With a man, a woman, and a house with no other people around, what do you think I'm going to do?"
"I..." Wei Yingluo stuck out her tongue, bit it, and said vaguely: "You are like a bad person, but I am drunk, and even a ghost can be a ghost."
"Scaring me? Ha! You bite!"
Li Mu pretended to take off Wei Yingluo's clothes. Wei Yingluo closed her eyes and bit her hard. But under normal circumstances, a person cannot bite his tongue to commit suicide. Because the nerve reflex does not allow it, this will happen in the future.
Scientific research has concluded that except when in a particularly excited state. Wei Yingluo was not so excited that she could bite her tongue to kill herself. It just hurt and she couldn't bite it anymore.
I complained about my incompetence in my heart, and my tears couldn't be stopped anymore, and they fell down.
Am I going to be defiled by this inhumane beast today?
"Miss!"
"?" Wei Yingluo thought she was hallucinating. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Li Mu had gone somewhere and was replaced by her maid. And looking at the maid, she didn't look like she had been persecuted.
If the wine pot and sauced meat hadn't been there, Wei Yingluo would have thought she was dreaming.
