Otoharu

Chapter 276
The visitor didn't expect Li Meier, a little girl, to have a knife hidden in her body. She didn't dodge for a while, but her arm was scratched by the kitchen knife, and she took a step back in pain.

Li Meier seized this opportunity, brandished the kitchen knife, and ran in the opposite direction of the bullock cart.

"Stinky girl! Chase!" A muffled voice came from behind.

Li Mei'er couldn't care about anything at the moment, so she just ran forward sullenly.She thought to lure these villains away, so that her grandmother and younger brother would be safe.Fortunately, this is the place she is most familiar with. She is much more familiar with all kinds of alleys than those thieves, so they didn't let them catch up immediately.

She didn't know how long she had been running, but she felt the voice behind her getting closer and closer. She felt that she was reaching her limit. She didn't know if it was because she had run for too long and her feet had lost strength. Soft, and fell forward.

The fall wasn't too heavy, but Li Mei'er couldn't help but shed tears. She knew she couldn't run anymore, but she couldn't be reconciled, she couldn't be reconciled to dying like this.

"Finally caught up, this damn girl can really run!" The thief's heavy panting and excited voice came from behind.

Li Meier shuddered, struggling to get up, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't get up no matter what.

"Hmph, keep running, brat, how dare you hurt me, I..."

The culprit's triumphant sound stopped abruptly behind him, there was the sound of something piercing into the flesh, and then the sound of a person falling limply to the ground.

Li Meier turned her head in a daze, and by the thin light of the moon, she saw a burly man walking towards her.

"Chen Pi...uncle?" Li Mei'er saw the face of the person coming, her heart was hanging high slowly, and she opened her mouth in surprise.

Chen Pi stepped forward to help Li Meier up from the ground, seeing that there was no obvious injury on her body, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally caught up, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"

"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma, why are you here?" Li Mei'er finally returned to her place at this moment, looked at Chen Pi and asked.

"My former brothers reported to me that Qiu Si had colluded with Japanese pirates and was looting in the town. I thought that your family had a problem with Qiu Si before, and I was afraid that he would send someone to your place, so I called the former few. Brother, let's come over to your house to have a look together. It really made me guess. The villain really found a few ruffians to come to your house. Fortunately, I came in time and killed a few in front. The little boss said that you should You escaped through the back door, and I just came to the back door to have a look, and I just saved you."

"Qiu Si..." Li Mei'er didn't remember any quarrel with this person.

"It's the ruffian who followed Liu Laosan to the workshop to make trouble." Chen Pi reminded.

When Chen Pi said this, Li Meier remembered, it turned out to be that person, he dared to collude with Japanese pirates, presumably he came to her house to rob because he knew that her family had made some money selling books.

"My mother, grandmother and younger brother, are they all right?" Li Meier asked anxiously, wondering if Chen Pi had seen her family.

"They're fine. The two people who came to block you are chasing you. When I passed by, they were still at the back door and were about to come to rescue you. I told them to go back to the house and wait at ease. You save it." Actually, he didn't know what to do at that time, and he said this to appease the elderly and children. After all, a little girl with no strength to restrain a chicken has a very small chance of surviving against two big men.

"It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my boss." Chen Pi had a relaxed smile on his face, and his tone was very thankful.

"It's still thanks to Brother Chen Pi." Li Mei'er also had a smile on her face, feeling that her luck was not so bad after all.

"Can I still go? Do you want me to carry you back?" Chen Pi asked concerned, seeing that Li Meier seemed to have sprained her ankle.

Li Meier moved her ankle cautiously. Although it still hurts, she can barely walk. She is not a person who likes to trouble others, so she nodded with a smile and said: "You can walk, but walk slowly, Brother Chen Pi, we Go back quickly, so as not to worry my mother and grandmother."

Li Mei'er didn't think it took long when she ran for her life just now, but it took a quarter of an hour to walk back now. When she was about to reach the back door, she saw a figure waiting there.

"Shanqing...brother." Li Meier was both surprised and happy, it's great that everyone is fine.

Jiang Shanqing trotted forward to support her, looked her up and down with a frown, and said in a panic that he didn't even notice, "Are you hurt? Where is it?"

Seeing him, Li Meier felt really relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just twisted my foot, just rub some medicinal wine and it will be fine."

Seeing that she really didn't look like she was seriously injured, Jiang Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to help her back, trying to help her in.

As soon as his palm touched Li Mei'er's back, her body froze, she couldn't help but gasped, and her delicate face wrinkled into a ball.

Jiang Shanqing immediately frowned, looked at Li Meier's pale face and said, "You said you were not injured, look at how much pain you have had."

Li Meier's face was bitter, and she said aggrievedly: "I was too nervous just now, have you forgotten..."

Jiang Shanqing didn't speak, just squatted down with his back turned, the meaning was very obvious.

Li Meier didn't hesitate, just smiled and climbed onto Jiang Shanqing's back.

Li Mei'er was very light, Jiang Shanqing carried her on the back without much effort, and only now did he think of Chen Pi who was still at the side.

"Brother Chen Pi, go sit in the room first, I'll ask the servants to get you and the brothers something to eat, thanks to you today."

Chen Pi shook his head and said: "Since you are all right here, I will go back first, my mother and younger siblings are still at home, I am going to accompany them, my brothers will stay to help you tonight, I guess The officers and soldiers should be able to arrive tomorrow, and they will be fine after tonight." Chen Pi politely rejected Jiang Shanqing's proposal and said with a smile.

Jiang Shanqing didn't force her, she thanked Chen Pi solemnly, and went in with Li Meier on her back.

"Why are you so thin? Where did all the food you eat on weekdays go?" Jiang Shanqing suddenly asked with Li Mei'er on his back.

Li Mei'er couldn't help laughing, "I told you earlier, I can't get fat from eating, my mother is like that, it's hard to gain weight, you see my uncle and uncle are like bamboo poles, tall Tall and thin, I'm smoking sticks now, no matter how much I eat, I won't gain weight."

"It's better to be fatter..." Jiang Shanqing didn't know what to think of, and sighed with some emotion.

Li Meier is puzzled, they are not the former dynasty who regard fat as beauty at this moment, women want to be curvy and graceful, weak willows are beautiful, brother Shanqing originally likes fat ones, then will he fall in love with A Xia? A-Xia hasn't lost weight yet.

Li Meier was thinking wildly, Jiang Shanqing had already carried her into the backyard.
