Chapter 167 The Orphanage

"Mom, what are you talking about? What family members, what outsiders, in our eyes, there is only truth and justice. This child is so young and protects food like this. What will he do when he grows up? Liancheng is a poor child, you drive him away Go out, so small, where does he live?"

Mother Lin was rendered speechless by Lin Qingruo's words, and Liancheng appeared at this moment to apologize to Lin Qingruo's family.

He solemnly bowed to Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have come back with you. I should have found something to establish myself in Yizhou, instead of coming here with my master and mother. Don't make things difficult for me. I can find a place to live by myself."

Then he said goodbye to Lin Qingruo and the others, and left with the luggage he had just packed.

"Now, are you satisfied, old man?"

Lin Qingruo couldn't bear it. At the beginning, she promised Liancheng to take good care of him, but now she let him go alone, and no matter what, she wanted to chase him back.

As soon as he walked to the door, he found that Liancheng had disappeared without a trace.

"This child's mind is a bit more than ordinary children's. To find him, we have to spend some time. Why don't we go to Huang Tian?"

After hearing Li Xiaoyuan's words, Lin Qingruo didn't have time to stay, and immediately found Huang Tian, ​​after hearing what happened.

"Don't worry! This matter is on me, and I will definitely be able to find him."

With Huang Tian's guarantee, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan returned home smoothly, but they were notified by Lin Yang that they ran away from home as soon as they returned.

"You guys are back. Tuantuan has already left home, so hurry up and chase after him."

Lin Qingruo found it inconceivable that he was asked to go back to the house to think about it just now, why did he leave without telling him?

"You take care of your family, we'll go after you."

Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan went out to look for Tuantuan again.

"He is still so young and doesn't have much thought. He must be easy to find. Let's look for it separately."

Lin Qingruo had searched all the places nearby where people could hide, and suddenly found a group of footsteps in the grass.

"Look, there is a small footprint in the grass, it must have been left by Tuantuan here, as long as we follow this footprint, we will definitely find him."

Li Xiaoyuan didn't have time to think about it, he followed the footprints for a long time and didn't find it, only then did he realize something was wrong.

"No, it's wrong for us to look for it this way. There were several adults' footprints next to this footprint, and then these footprints disappeared. They were not left by Tuantuan, but someone left them on purpose. The purpose is to lead us to come out."

Lin Qingruo's eye circles were red at this time, if he had known this, the punishment for him just now should have been lighter.

"Let's go to Jiahe. He has such a wide network of connections, so we can definitely find him."

Lin Qingruo suddenly remembered that Jiahe was the leader of that group of beggars, and he must be well-informed as he walked around the streets all day.

"You're right, he can even find Huang Tian, ​​so he will definitely be able to find him."

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyuan and Lin Qingruo came to Jiahe again, after understanding what happened, Jiahe didn't dare to delay for a moment, and searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the slightest trace of Tuantuan.

"I have searched all over the neighborhood, and there is no trace of the child. Did he go to some familiar family? You have to think of a way. It's not peaceful recently. If the child is really taken away by someone, It is a lifetime regret.”

Listening to Jiahe's words, Lin Qingruo felt that something was wrong. Even though Jiahe was a beggar, he usually wouldn't scare people. Something strange must have happened this time.

"According to what you said, what unusual things have happened during the time we have been away?"

Only then did Jiahe recall a strange incident that happened half a month ago.

"You said that, I remembered. Half a month ago, a group of guys sat in the suburbs and claimed to set up camp temporarily. We all thought they were a caravan, but some people saw them go out to buy goods. Who are they..."

Lin Qingruo's heart pounded when she heard this. If it was really a caravan, why bother to set up camp outside? There must be some unknown secret in it.

"Thank you for continuing to help us find it. I'll go to the yamen to find the magistrate."

After a while, Lin Qingruo brought Li Xiaoyuan to the county government office, before waiting for the servants to report, Lin Qingruo went straight in and grabbed Xin Gu for questioning.

"Let me ask you, have there been caravans recently?"

Xin Gu looked at Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan's uneasy expressions, knowing that this matter was not that simple, so he could only answer cautiously.

"There was indeed a group of caravans half a month ago, but the official has sent someone to investigate, and there is nothing suspicious."

Lin Qingruo just let go of her thoughts. Could it be that she made a mistake in finding people's hearts?
"It's quite strange at this time, you send some yamen servants, even if you turn this place upside down, you have to find out."

Lin Qingruo was in a bit of a dilemma. At this time, there were no disasters, no disasters, and no thieves. If the streets were full of yamen servants, people would definitely panic.

"Doctor Lin, you are anxious and we also know that as a county magistrate, if nothing happens and you turn the county under your jurisdiction upside down, I will not be able to explain this matter to the higher-ups."

Lin Qingruo was about to say something when Li Xiaoyuan took out a map of the county.

"It doesn't matter if you don't search. This is the county map of this county. Can you point out where the caravan camped last time?"

Lin Qingruo carefully looked at the map that Li Xiaoyuan spread out on the table, and then pointed out where the caravan camped.

"Here? Isn't this the place? The orphanage where my aunt lives? Why did you set up camp here?"

Lin Qingruo called Xin Gu with a full stomach full of questions, and walked to the orphanage with Han He.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about what kind of caravan would set up camp outside, and it had to be near the orphanage.

"We're almost there, haven't they left yet?"

"At that time, they were sent to inquire, and they didn't say the specific time. They only said that they had set up a camp near here for a while, so they must still be there!"

Hearing Xin Gu's answer, Li Xiaoyuan couldn't help but move a little faster.

"We have to go to the caravan to have a look now. The caravan is full of doubts. When we get there, we must pay more attention to it, and don't be fooled by others."

Li Xiaoyuan now seriously suspects that this group of caravans will be detrimental to the orphanage and the children.

Xin Gu didn't dare to delay, so he could only lead a group of people to the caravan as quickly as possible. As soon as they got there, the captain of the caravan warmly entertained them.

"We have been here for a while, and there have not been so many people coming to visit, especially distinguished guests like the county magistrate. Several nobles have prepared milk tea and snacks. Why don't you go in and have a drink."

Lin Qingruo looked at the strangely dressed person in front of him, and felt a little curious. This person must not be from the surrounding counties, and the caravan didn't have much goods. What does this have to do with the caravan?
