When the students from Joseph College visited Xiangyun Academy, Leng Lanzhi also came near Xiangyun Academy, but not to visit, but to find someone.

Li Xueer did not show up at the stall today.

Although Leng Lanzhi did not come forward to help Li Xueer personally, she had followed the little girl for so long. She had already fallen in love with this strong, optimistic, kind and brave little girl, so she turned a blind eye to Liu Sha and He Qianqian's behavior. Eye.

Occasionally, she would reward Liusha with a lot of silver taels under various names. Otherwise, the three taels of silver this girl only had every month would not be enough to do good deeds.

She was out of town today, and when she passed by Li Xueer's stall, she found that the little girl had not left the stall again.

This was something that wouldn't have happened in the past.

Although the little girl is young, she occasionally chooses to take a day off because she is too tired, but never more than two days.

After all, she has a little sister to support.

If you don't show up for two consecutive days, it means something is wrong.

The village where Li Xueer lives is called Lijiacun, not far from Xiangyun Academy.

Probably influenced by the atmosphere of the academy, this village is different from other villages. There are red walls and green tiles everywhere, and it is not as shabby and backward as ordinary villages.

Along the way, Leng Lanzhi found that many children who had not yet started school could shake their heads and recite a few lines of the Three-Character Sutra.

Liusha looked very strange.

After all, there were not so many children in the village where she lived as a child who could read.

However, she did not forget her business and pointed in one direction of the village: "Xue'er's family lives over there."

Lijia Village is very prosperous overall, but there are no houses in the direction Liusha points to. There is only a dilapidated tile-roofed house standing there alone. Even from a short distance, Leng Lanzhi can see the dilapidated house. The tile-roofed house is crumbling.

As she got closer, Leng Lanzhi found that the adobe house was much more dilapidated than she had imagined. Although it was not without a roof, the doors and windows were all broken.

It's okay in summer, but in winter there's definitely no way to protect yourself from the cold.

Moreover, even in summer, although it is not cold at night, it cannot resist mosquitoes.

If it rains heavily, there will be no shielding effect at all.

She glanced at Liusha with some doubts.

It stands to reason that Liusha is not the kind of person who ignores things on a whim. Since he has decided to help the little girl and has even sent her home before, there is no way he can remain indifferent to the empty doorframe.

But she saw anger rising on Liusha's little face: "Who is so wicked that he pried away the doors and windows!"

She had clearly found a craftsman before and personally ordered him to order high-quality doors and windows.

Why are the newly installed doors and windows gone after just a few months?

"Go and ask."

A hint of thought flashed across Leng Lan's eyes.

Liusha nodded: "I know where Xue'er's uncle's family lives. I'll go and ask now."

Hearing that Li Xueer had an uncle, Qiong Hua frowned: "I'll go with you."

Liusha thought it was a little strange, but they had brought other guards with them for today's trip, so there was no need to worry about the princess's safety, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them were about to turn around to find Li Xueer's uncle, when a small head suddenly popped out from behind a big tree not far away. It was a boy about six or seven years old.

The young man blinked his eyes and looked at Leng Lanzhi and others timidly. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before asking: "Are you here to see Xue'er?" Leng Lanzhi walked over: "Yes, we She’s Xue’er’s friend, do you know where she is?”

A strong look of struggle appeared in the young man's eyes.

Leng Lanzhi glanced at Liusha. Liusha understood and grabbed a handful of candies from her small bag. She squatted in front of the young man and said softly: "We are Xueer's friends. Xueer has not been out for the past two days." stall, so we came over to see if anything happened at her house."

When the young man saw the candy, the struggle in his eyes faded a little. Finally, he didn't know what he thought of, and gritted his teeth: "Please sister, please save Xue'er! Her uncle's family is going to sell her!"

Qiong Hua glanced at the young man, but he didn't show the slightest hint of surprise.

Liusha's expression changed drastically and she exclaimed: "What?"

Leng Lanzhi suddenly clenched his fists.

This answer is both unexpected and reasonable.

She suppressed her anger and asked, "Have you bought it yet?"

The young man looked sad: "Not yet. I heard that Xue'er broke her face when she was struggling yesterday. Xue'er's uncle was worried that it would affect the price, so he wanted to heal her face before sending it to the buyer."

Leng Lanzhi lowered his face.

When she first heard that the little girl was going to be sold, she subconsciously thought that someone from the Li family was going to sell her to a wealthy family to be a maid. But when she heard this, she felt something was wrong.

Qionghua also spat: "Beast!"

When Liusha saw the two people's reactions, she understood something and became very angry: "These old beasts!"

Xue'er lost his parents and had to drag his younger sister to grow up at a young age. It was pitiful enough. How could they do such a thing that was worse than a beast?
Leng Lanzhi pursed her lips.

It is precisely because the little girl has no parents and no one to protect her that those people dare to hurt her unscrupulously.

After two years, when Li Yan'er reaches her age, she may also be killed.

The young man said angrily: "They did it on purpose! They deliberately wanted to kill Xue'er and her sister so that they could occupy their house and property!!"

Everyone in the village can guess this kind of thing, but the uncle of the two sisters has given birth to several sons, and his wife is still a generous person. Although many people sympathize with the two sisters, they do not want to openly oppose Li Dazhen. I can help two little girls secretly.

The young man only found out about these twists and turns when he overheard his parents scolding Li Dazhen's family in private for being heartless.

Not long after, Ying Shahai came from a distance and bowed to report: "Princess, Li Xueer's uncle is called Li Dazhen. The house their family lives in now does belong to Li Xueer's family. Since Li Xueer's parents unfortunately died a year ago, Li Dazhen has I moved in on the grounds that it would be convenient to take care of the two sisters."

"At first they were just pretending, but then when they saw that no one in the village was openly standing up for the two sisters, they became more and more bold. Until six months ago, they kicked the two sisters out of the house."

It was at that time that Leng Lanzhi met Li Xueer who was selling kites with his sister.

"Even so, they don't have the right to sell the two sisters. Doesn't the village chief just care?"

Leng Lanzhi asked with a frown.

Ying Shahai had already found out clearly: "The village chief doesn't care, he just doesn't dare to care. It is said that the buyer who wants to buy Miss Xue'er is the third son of the Minister of Civil Affairs."

"Gu Yihang?" Leng Lanzhi knew something about this man because he was also studying at Xiangyun Academy.

I heard that this man has a reputation for talent and is the pride of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

pride?
