One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 74 It's Raining
The shopkeeper first looked through and compared, then took out the register and started registering.

During the process, he also chatted and asked two things that had nothing to do with accommodation. Apart from explaining that the other party should pay attention to some things that children should pay attention to, Yan Qingzhi, who was concerned about his own privacy, just smiled and did not answer.

It is not surprising that the shopkeeper did not ask for the result. After receiving the deposit, after registering the identities of the two, he returned the household registration and road guide to Yan Qingzhi.

After she calmly collected the household registration, she raised her head and looked at the strings of wooden signs hanging on the counter.

All the dishes and prices that are served today are written on the wooden sign. Yan Qingzhi has no hobby to let Xiaoer know the name of the dishes. She is still used to watching quietly and choosing quietly.

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Qingzhi, raised his head and read every word carefully, he couldn't help but lean out of the counter and turned to look at the wooden sign above. Although he couldn't see clearly, he was still shocked with Yan Qingzhi's young age. I know so many words.

But then he thought it was reasonable, such a world, a child with a younger brother running around the world, and still have money and a donkey, can that be an ordinary person!
Is it weird to recognize a word?

He quickly calmed down, and looked at Yan Qingzhi a few more times, preparing to wait for the other party to leave, and tell it to others like a story, which is quite interesting to think about.

Yan Qingzhi didn't know what was going on in the shopkeeper's mind. She looked around at the wooden signs and compared the prices. She felt that the food at the inn was really expensive.

But it’s impossible to order food with your heart. You can only choose some food that is cost-effective and fills your stomach. At most, you can combine meat and vegetables to improve the food!

With care, she took a step forward, straightened her body, and looked up at the shopkeeper, trying to make herself look taller.

But just as she was about to speak, the front hall suddenly brightened.

Yan Qingzhi felt that her eyes were white, and she quickly turned her head to look at the light source.

Just as she looked over, the rumbling thunder sounded, and it was about to rain heavily.

Yan Qingzhi smiled lightly and turned back. Fortunately, she found a temporary place to stay, otherwise the sister and brother would still be holding the donkey, I really don't know what to do!

It's alright now, it doesn't matter to her how much rain it is outside...

However, just as she turned her eyes around, a figure suddenly passed by the door of the inn.

Yan Qingzhi's perception was so sharp, and she turned her head again in an instant.

There was only a childish voice exclaiming in a low voice in her ear, and when she listened carefully, there was no more sound.

The old shopkeeper was not as sharp as Yan Qingzhi, but he seemed to feel something unusual.Frowning leaned out from behind the counter and looked out, the torrential rain outside had fallen, the raindrops fell on the tiles, and the crackling sounded, covering up a lot of movement.

Yan Qingzhi was thoughtful, but an idea flew through her mind and didn't catch it. Just when she wanted to ask the shopkeeper something, there was a commotion at the back door of the front hall.

The messy footsteps of several people sounded, mixed with the cry of a woman.

The people in the front hall were immediately attracted by those people, and their eyes shifted.

The woman had already rushed in, and after looking around, she quickly ran to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Sun! Have you seen Xiaoxiu?"

The old shopkeeper was taken aback by what she said.

"Xiaoxiu?"

But immediately he thought of the abnormality just now, his face changed, and he hurriedly greeted the little Er who was serving the guests.

"Liu, go out and have a look!"

While speaking, he also walked to the counter board, and bowed his round waist and was about to get out of the counter.

Xiao Er, named Xiao Liu, was suddenly named and was a little overwhelmed.

Just when no one could react, the shopkeeper, who had not yet emerged from under the baffle, suddenly had a flower in front of his eyes.

Looking up again, I saw that the woman was still looking at him worriedly and doubtfully, but the child who was standing in front of his counter just now was gone.

The old shopkeeper was so shocked that he didn't even care about his image, so he quickly squeezed out from under the baffle, secretly scolding Yan Qingzhi for not worrying about it, and a big kid would dare to interfere with anything.On the other hand, he had to quickly command the crowd,
The inn immediately became busy, some people went to look for the guards, some people went to see Yan Qingzhi, but the rain outside was too heavy, and there was a light fog, which made it impossible to see the situation in the distance. There is no trace of Yan Qingzhi!

There was a strong wind and earthquake on the street, and the banners hanging above the doors of the shops were all blown with a loud noise.Big raindrops came head-on, and there were only a few passersby left on the road, running around to avoid the rain.

Yan Qingzhi's body's instincts had surpassed her thoughts. When she realized that a child might have been carried away just now, her adult consciousness suddenly prevailed, and she rushed out without any hesitation.Her clothes were soaked instantly, but her footsteps did not stop.

Yan Qingzhi has a good memory, and it didn't take long for the incident to happen. Although she only glanced at it, she still remembered some of the man's physical features.

Medium height, grey shorts, black trousers, and leggings.

Before she made a turn, she saw the figure of the man hiding in a street corner.

Yan Qingzhi immediately chased after him. In this day and age, it is too difficult for ordinary people to find a child!Time is everything, and now is the most critical time to get back that child.

If he can't catch up now, it's almost impossible to catch up in the future, and what kind of life the child who was sold will face, Yan Qingzhi dare not even think about it.

She chased all the way to the corner, and the figure of the man leaving quickly flashed past in a certain direction.

She turned instantly.

The man seemed to be worried that his flaws would be seen. Although he was holding the child, he could run at a normal speed. He was not as hurried as he had imagined.

If it weren't for the backwardness of this small county, there weren't many shops, and if he wanted to come here, he might have gotten into somewhere!
The rain curtain became a curtain, and Yan Qingzhi lifted the broken hair from her forehead to make her vision clearer.

One was pretending, the other was chasing, and the distance between the two sides was quickly drawn.

The nearest Yan Qingzhi can already see that the little girl is dizzy!

The man in front naturally heard the footsteps of Yan Qingzhi chasing after him. He turned his head and saw that it was another child. A fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He has rich experience and knows that if he is entangled by the other party, it may not be easy to escape in the follow-up, and he must find a quick solution.

The rain was pouring down, and there were no pedestrians on the road. He no longer pretended to hold the little girl under his arm, and ran with all his strength.

Yan Qingzhi's expression froze, and she knew in her heart that the other party was either going to run or that she had a countermeasure. The rain made her eyes turn red, but at this moment, she still clenched her teeth and accelerated again.
