Chapter 383 Already expected
The lady boss smoothed her hair around her ears and smiled brightly, "This place is great, close to home, not too much trouble, and the money I earn in a day is enough for my family to eat!"

Shi Liu listened, looked at the village behind him, and said nothing more.

The afternoon breeze was blowing, making people sleepy for no reason. Pomegranate yawned, got up, got on the carriage under the big tree and took a nap.

For fear that the carriage would be stuffy, one side of the curtain was lifted. Hu Zhen and Zuo Cheng stood guard on both sides of the carriage and also closed their eyes to take a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, the pedestrians who had been resting in the teahouse continued on their way.

Shi Liu stretched himself, got off the carriage and sat in the teahouse.

The lady boss brought a pot of hot tea over and asked curiously, "The sun is setting slowly in the west, aren't you in a hurry to get going, young lady?"

Shi Liu smiled faintly, "No hurry, we have people behind us, so we won't disturb you from doing business, sister-in-law?"

"So that's how it is! It's not a problem. There won't be many passers-by after this time. You can sit as long as you want, girl." The proprietress said readily.

Shi Liu nodded: "Please prepare it, sister-in-law, and help me cook a few more bowls of noodles later."

The proprietress responded and went back to a small shed to knead the dough.

After the dough was kneaded and cut, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

The proprietress looked up and asked Shi Liu in the teahouse, "Miss, have you cooked the noodles?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for cooking." Pomegranate looked ahead.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Soon, a few people and riders came into view on the road ahead, riding their horses towards this direction.

Soon, the riders arrived at the teahouse, stopped their horses, and several of them dismounted.

The proprietress's husband hurried forward to greet them and helped lead the horse to feed it water and fodder.

Several people strode into the teahouse. Ma Chun, the leader, was covered in dust but didn't notice it. He looked at Shi Liu, grinned and bowed, saying, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, young lady!"

"The noodles will be cooked soon." Shi Liu smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

While everyone was drinking a bowl of tea, the fragrant noodles with bamboo shoots and minced pork were served on the table.

The extremely hungry people began to eat voraciously.

After eating a bowl of noodles and taking a cup of tea, the horses also had their meals and rested, and then the group set off.

The proprietress waved and said goodbye, "Have a nice day, girl!"

Shi Liu also waved to the proprietress.

As the convoy traveled further, Shi Liu leaned his elbows on the window. Outside the car was Ma Chun riding a horse.

"How about it?"

Ma Chun replied: "Miss, you are right. Someone came to me last night and forced me with a knife to lead them to find someone!
Therefore, we waited to leave the city and head to Yan Gu Mountain before dawn today. Everything was arranged by the young lady, and those who were looking for people also stayed in the cave, without missing a single one. "

Shi Liu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ma Biaotou."

"It's not hard to work for a girl!"

The car curtain fell, and Ma Chun looked forward, his heart full of anticipation and excitement for the road ahead.

The Weifeng Escort Agency has lost its reputation in Wannan Prefecture and can no longer operate, but the Weifeng Escort Agency cannot be destroyed in his hands.

He believed in Miss Li. Even if they moved to another place, the Weifeng Escort Agency would surely rise again and become famous throughout the world.

That's why he agreed to Miss Li without hesitation.

However, those people were rebels, and the imperial court was punishing them. As a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, he did not feel much psychological pressure to do this.

-

The sky gradually darkened. In the city of Wannan, two people were sitting under a peach tree in the backyard of a drug store.

"Chen Ming hasn't come back yet?" the younger one spoke.

The middle-aged man opposite shook his head, "No news yet."

The young man looked up at the sky and said quietly, "In a mountain like Yanshan, is there a man-eating monster?"

"Let's go to the Weifeng Escort Agency." Soon, someone climbed over the wall and came in. "Master, the Weifeng Escort Agency is locked. I also found that several escorts from the Weifeng Escort Agency are missing. I heard that they left early this morning with their bags on their backs, as if they were going on a long journey."

Hearing this, the young man laughed softly, and that laugh was inexplicably cold.

"What a nice little girl."

-

Shi Liu stared at the little girl in front of him.

After a while, Shi Liu gave up and rubbed his eyes. Then he looked at the little girl who was still staring with her eyes wide open and couldn't help laughing, "Little sister, you are the one who stole my purse. Why are you looking at me like I stole your purse?"

Shi Liu was also speechless. After two days of traveling, they finally settled down in a county town. She wanted to go out to the night market to relax, so she brought Fu Dong and Hu Zhen with her.

Who would have thought that when I was buying some rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice, I was bumped into by a little girl. So what? The little girl just ran away.

She looked down and found that her purse was missing, so she naturally asked Hu Zhen to go after it.

The little girl ran quite fast and was caught after some effort. Our purse was taken back, but the little girl still refused to accept the defeat.

I have never seen such a hardened little thief.

"Why did you steal the purse?"

The little girl stiffened her neck and refused to answer.

"Okay, you don't want to tell me, right? Hu Zhen, take her back and send her to the government tomorrow morning!" Shi Liu threatened with a stern face.

Unexpectedly, the little girl was not afraid when she heard that she was going to be sent to the government. Instead, she glared at Shi Liu even more fiercely.

If eyes could kill, Shi Liu thought, this little girl would have killed her a hundred times.

What a little girl! She's only eleven or twelve years old, how could she be so fierce?
Shi Liu saw that she was wearing loose clothes that were neither torn nor old, and she also had a large cloth bag slung over her shoulder, which was quite interesting.

"Take her back."

They had only spent half of their time at the night market and returned to the inn. Shi Liu looked at the little girl who was brought in with a fuss like a little wolf. She asked someone to buy a lot of food at the night market, and she and Fu Dong ate it right in front of her, enjoying it so much.

"This roasted pork belly is so delicious, crispy and crunchy."

"Wow, this glutinous rice cake is absolutely amazing!"

"Try this pickled goat's trotter. Wow! It's so delicious!"

"Eh? Fudong, you're eating and swallowing your saliva?"

"Miss, did I not swallow my saliva?"

"Who is it if it's not you?"

The little girl couldn't stand it any longer, "You are abominable! You are a bad person!"

"Who is the bad guy?" Shi Liu looked at her. "I didn't steal anyone's purse. I bought all these with real money."

The little girl pursed her lips, stared at Shi Liu, and stopped talking.

Shi Liu smiled and suddenly touched her stomach, "Oh, my stomach feels uncomfortable, Fu Dong, accompany me to the toilet."

"okay!"

The master and servant stood up and left the room.

The door was closed. The little girl looked at the closed door, then at the delicious food on the table, weighed between running away and staying, and then pounced on the table, grabbed the braised pig's trotter and started to eat it.

If she wanted to escape, there must be someone watching outside, so she had to run away. It was more important to fill her stomach.

The little girl was eating so much oil in her mouth with a braised pig's trotter in one hand and a big meat bun in the other that she didn't even notice that the door behind her had opened again.

Pomegranate walked in with her arms folded over her shoulders, "Is it delicious?"

Hearing the sound, the little girl froze, turned her head to take a look, and then simply gave it up and continued eating one bite after another, not paying any attention to the pomegranate at all.

Shi Liu raised an eyebrow and sat on the bed. "Eat well. I'll sell you to a trafficker tomorrow. Looking at your appearance, I think you can fetch some money!"

The little girl choked while chewing the pig's trotter and suddenly started crying. She cried harder and harder and the pig's trotter fell to the ground.
