Chapter 206
The dog hole is so small that only children under the age of ten can pass through it.Jiang patted the backs of the two children, took a deep breath, and said, "Go, get outside, if it's not dangerous, just throw a stone in."

Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing both nodded, Li Meier was about to bend forward, but was stopped by Jiang Shanqing.He said firmly, "I'm a man, and I'm older than you. I'll go there first."

Li Meier was taken aback for a moment, before she could react, Jiang Shanqing got into the dog hole first.

Jiang Shi who was at the side breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't that she was partial, but as a mother, she always didn't want to take risks with her own flesh and blood.

Not long after Jiang Shanqing went out, a small stone was thrown into the dog's hole, Jiang was relieved, touched Li Mei'er's head, and said, "Go."

Li Meier gave Jiang a reluctant look, then bent down and got into the dog hole.

When she got outside, she saw Jiang Shanqing waiting for her there. She patted the weeds and dust off her body, observed the surrounding environment, and asked in a daze, "Where is this? How do we go back?"

"Follow me." Jiang Shanqing remembered the way he came, and dragged Li Meier to the outside of the alley.The two of them made a big circle before they finally got out of the alley and reached the main road.

Li Meier was out of breath right now, and asked out of breath, "How long are we going to run?"

She remembered that when they came, they came by car, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for the car ride, and it would take only a quarter of an hour for the two of them to run back.

"I have silver, let's find a car to take us back." Jiang Shanqing said very calmly, before coming out, Jiang gave him a few taels of silver and asked him to take the silver to take the car.

Jiang Shanqing dragged Li Meier to wait on the road for a while, and soon saw an old man in his sixties driving a broken ox cart, Jiang Shanqing hurried forward to stop the cart.

Seeing the two little dolls rushing out suddenly, the old man was startled. He quickly pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart. Fortunately, the speed of the ox cart was very slow at this time, so it would not cause any accidents due to lack of braking.

"What's the matter with you two little dolls, what are you doing standing on the road so well, your adults!" The old man jumped out of the car and asked in a bad tone.

This time it was Li Meier's turn to play. She looked at the old man pitifully, and said with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, my mother is sick, my father is teaching in the school, and there are no other adults at home. We are here to find My father, please do me a favor, can you send us to my father's school."

The old man was not the kind of hard-hearted person. Looking at these two dolls, he naturally couldn't bear to refuse, so he waved his hands and said, "Both of you get in the car, I'll send you to find your father."

Li Mei'er was so happy that she didn't even bother to wipe away her tears, so she dragged Jiang Shanqing into the car.

After getting into the car, Jiang Shanqing and the old man explained the address of the ethnology, and the carriage started slowly.

This old man obviously came to the town from the countryside to sell vegetables. At this moment, all the vegetables on the bullock cart were sold out, and there were only a few empty bamboo baskets. Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing were sitting behind the bamboo baskets.

Li Meier glanced at the old man in front of him who was concentrating on driving, and asked Jiang Shanqing in a low voice, "Aren't we going to give that old man money?"

"We'll talk about it when we get to the place. We know people and face but don't know our heart. If it's exposed that we have money on us, maybe that person will be motivated by money." Jiang Shanqing was still very defensive, and just got into the car right now He didn't dare to relax his vigilance for a moment, as long as the old man did anything wrong, he would immediately pull Li Meier and jump out of the car and run away.

Li Meier naturally believed in Jiang Shanqing, she nodded and said nothing more.

About a quarter of an hour later, the bullock cart finally arrived at the entrance of the Li Family School. Li Meier jumped out of the cart excitedly and was about to go up and knock on the door.Jiang Shanqing held her back, "I'll go, the porter here recognizes me."

Li Meier nodded and followed behind Jiang Shanqing.

Jiang Shanqing knocked on the door, and soon a porter came to open the door. Seeing two people outside the door, he asked in surprise, "Isn't this Young Master Jiang? I heard that you asked for leave today. Why are you here now?"

"Uncle Zhong, something urgent happened at home, can you call my uncle out for me?" Jiang Shanqing said respectfully.

"You guys come in and wait. I'll go find Mr. Yan right away." Li Zhong, the concierge, said to the two children as soon as he heard that there was something urgent.

Jiang Shanqing didn't go in right away, but said to Li Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, wait for me for a while." After speaking, he turned and ran back to the old man, bowed to him, and stuffed something into his hand .

The old man refused to accept it at first, but he couldn't resist Jiang Shanqing, so he had no choice but to accept it.

After the old man left, Jiang Shanqing came back and entered the ethnology with Li Meier.

While waiting for Li Zhong at the concierge, Li Meier couldn't help asking: "Brother Shanqing, how much money did you give that old man?"

"One money." Jiang Shanqing replied, "You can't give too much money, or the old man won't accept it."

"One penny is about the same. Renting an ox cart costs two pennies a day. The old man has helped us a lot, so we should give more." Li Meier also thinks this amount is very reasonable.

Because Jiang Shanqing was talking about an emergency at home, Li Zhong quickly led Li Yan over.

Li Yan looked anxious, and when he saw the two children, he immediately asked, "What happened? Didn't you go to the printing workshop with your mother?"

"Uncle, it's too late to explain, let's talk as we walk." Jiang Shanqing pulled Li Yan, and walked quickly outside the ethnology school while talking.

Jiang Shanqing took Li Yan to the direction of the patriarch's house. Because there was no yamen in this town, the daily affairs of the town were handled by the patriarchs and squires of the various clans. It's not a small clan, so the patriarch's power is quite large. Now that something happened, Jiang Shanqing's first thought was to find the patriarch.

On the way, Jiang Shanqing told Li Yan about the general situation. When Li Yan heard that the Jiang family was being surrounded by a group of hooligans, Li Yan's face immediately became gloomy. He picked up Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier, and walked quickly to the patriarch's house. run.

The patriarch's home was not far from the ethnology, and the three of them arrived in a short while. Because of the urgency of the matter, Li Yan couldn't wait to report, so he followed the porter to meet the patriarch Li Han.

Li Han was furious when Li Yan told the whole story, and immediately asked his servants to find more than [-] young and middle-aged men from the clan, and together with Li Yan, he went to rescue Jiang's family.

When everyone arrived, Li Yan first sent the two children to a place not far from home, and told her: "You two go home first, and father will bring mother back soon. Don't go with you when you go back. What grandma said, she is too old to be stimulated."
