Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 118
It was getting dark.

Compared with the daytime, Yuanguang Temple is more and more lively at this time.All the lanterns were hung up, which looked rather bright.Women with baskets can often be seen passing through.

There was also the sound of bells ringing in Enkoji Temple, and the broad sound range of "dong dong dong" spread far and wide, silently adding tranquility to the noise.

Li Xin moved quickly, a pot of popcorn came out, and Zhao Changsheng helped pack it in a paper bag and handed it to the guests.Someone from Amei also came to ask about the price of needlework.

In a hurry, Amei didn't care whether she made money from her needlework or from selling food at her sister-in-law's side, and put everything in and out of the drawer on the right side of the cart.

When it was completely dark, Zhao Changhui also came to help.

Zhao Changsheng hurriedly called "Brother", Zhao Changhui looked around and only saw Li Xin and Amei, slightly disappointed.Hearing Zhao Changsheng's call, he hurriedly responded, and ran over and said, "Big Cousin, I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay, you're busy too, we're pretty busy here." Li Xin smiled at him, and there was a child next to him making noise: "I want to buy, I want to eat this!"

An adult persuaded: "Go home and mother will make it for you, this thing is expensive."

"Well, I want to eat this!" said the child and cried.

The mother has no choice but to pay for a paper bag to comfort the child.

There are also those who cry but are cleaned up by their parents.

Generally speaking, Li Xin's business here is good, even the business of the aunt who sells cloth shoes next to her has improved a lot.

There were dozens of paper bags left, Li Xin looked at it, there was still a small can of butter in the jar, and there were a lot of dried corn kernels, but there was no shortage, but there was a little less sugar.If enough paper bags are sold out, there is nothing else.

I pulled out the drawer and counted, and I guess I made a lot of money.

Li Xin made up his mind and decided not to sell the paper bags until they were sold out.

The following work was much easier, with the help of Zhao Changhui, the second child, who was good at shouting, he soon attracted more guests, including several richly dressed.

Li Xin was busy, and glanced forward inadvertently, only to feel as if he saw something, and then blinked, and found that there was only a man running away in a hurry from the place he saw just now. A sack!
Li Xin broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately said to Zhao Changsheng: "Second cousin, look over there!"

Zhao Changsheng looked in the direction of Li Xin's finger, and was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Sucker!"

Although the person covered under the sack didn't move, but Li Xin had an intuition that he must have been fainted by the abductor.And judging by the size of the sack, if you guessed right, there must be a child inside!

Just now she felt that what flashed before her eyes was the moment when the abductee put the sack on the child and carried it on his back!

Li Xin was terribly flustered, no wonder Guan Wen told her to be safe over and over again, and insisted on asking his two cousins ​​for help if he couldn't come.If she encounters such a situation without a man to protect her, she and A-mei alone will not have the ability to resist at all!When temple fairs are full of people, accidents and crimes are high, how could she forget this!
Although the voice shouted here was loud, the temple fair was really lively, and it was lost in the human voice after a while.

Zhao Changsheng was big, so he ran out immediately, but there was a sea of ​​people, and he was too big to get through, so he could only watch the man walking further and further away with the cloth bag on his shoulders.

Li Xin gritted his teeth, handed the pot in his hand to Zhao Changhui and said, "Big cousin, look over here." Then he told A-mei sharply, "Stay close to your big cousin and don't run around. No!"

A-mei nodded in a daze, and Li Xin nimbly got in, eyes glued to the front.

It's not that she is the only one who can save people, but she is the only one who saw the appearance of the person who beat Hanako!Moreover, her body is smaller, so it is convenient to drill around in it.Although the people around her and Zhao Changsheng had heard what she and Zhao Changsheng called, they naturally had no purpose when they looked back, and they didn't even know who Li Xin was talking about.

Soon she caught up with Zhao Changsheng and went a little further than him.

Zhao Changsheng was a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Big Cousin..."

"Hurry up!" Li Xin said as he moved forward a few steps, and then shouted: "Be careful!" Then he hurriedly continued to squeeze forward.

Running out of this bustling Temple Fair Street, there are many fewer people, and the person carrying the cloth bag is more conspicuous.Li Xin followed closely, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of disturbing the people in front, when he saw a sharp stone on the side of the road, he pinched it in his hand.

After following the man for a short distance, he stopped at an alleyway and looked around, as if he was about to turn into the alleyway.

Li Xin murmured inwardly that it was not good, this usually hidden alleyway should be their den, and now it is easy to call the official messenger, how dare she, a weak woman, follow in!
I was anxious, but I came up with a way out of my haste.

Li Xin also had an impression of the alleyway, and there was another road behind him that he could pass through.While the man was looking left and right to see if there was any suspicious person, Li Xin quickly sneaked through from the other side, and when he ran to the middle area, he shouted loudly: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The alleyway jumped up suddenly, and the man standing at the entrance of the alleyway was also stunned.

Li Xin hurriedly ran across the alleyway, burying his head while running and shouting: "It's on fire! It's flooded!"

As he said that, he pretended to bump into the man casually, and his hair was disheveled, but he looked a little terrified.

Before Li Xin could think about the next step, officers and soldiers appeared over there.

The man panicked immediately when he saw the officers and soldiers, and was about to leave with the sack on his shoulders. How could Li Xin let him escape?If this is really a Hanako den, finding out and arresting people in will eliminate a major disaster!

Li Xin became ruthless, hurriedly grabbed the man, and said in a panic, "Brother, don't go in, it's on fire! It's going to kill you!"

However, there was no thick smoke in the alley, but people came out one after another.

The man was skeptical, not knowing whether the official sent here because of a flood or found here.

For a moment of hesitation, Li Xin seized the opportunity and shouted at the officers and soldiers: "Master Officer! Come quickly! We're out of water!"

After all, men are afraid of officials, what if they saw the child on his shoulders?
The man kicked Li Xin away, not daring to run into the alleyway for fear of getting burned, so he wanted to run back to the temple fair from the other side.Anyway, there are so many people in the temple fair, who would know it was him if he got in.

However, things backfired, it was not easy for him to carry a cloth bag here, and he was really reluctant to throw away a good one when he caught a rare one.But if you don't lose your own life, you won't be guaranteed.

After weighing the balance, he still threw the bag on the ground and ran towards the temple fair.

From the moment he kicked Li Xin away, Li Xin clenched the sharp stone in her hand. Although it hurt from the man kicking her, she still held back.When he regained his breath, he saw the man dropped the cloth bag and wanted to run away.

How could she allow him to run away!

Seeing that Zhao Changsheng finally rushed over there, and there were a few Kong Wuli men beside him who seemed to follow up halfway to arrest people, he was even more relieved.He rushed over to cover the sack on the ground, and the stone in his hand pierced towards the man's heel without hesitation.

"what--"

The man turned his head with a scream, saw that it was the down-and-out woman who bumped into him and pulled him just now, he was stunned for a moment, Li Xin quickly picked up a stone and hit him on the head with a "bang".

The man fainted immediately.

It was only a blink of an eye to do these movements. When she calmed down, she realized that her hands were shaking violently. Even when she opened the sack, she was flustered and bewildered.

Fortunately, Zhao Changsheng's party and the officers and soldiers rushed over in a short while. They were relieved to see the officers and soldiers Zhao Changsheng, and hurriedly explained the matter. Li Xin pointed to the alleyway and said, "That man, that man must carry This child is going here, I suspect, suspect that there are people among them..."

The leader was a burly man in his forties, who was called "Catcher Lu".After listening to Zhao Changsheng and Li Xin's statement, Catcher Lu looked at the little doll lying on the ground, nodded and left two people to watch here, and ordered half of them to go to the back to copy, and he took the rest with him. people entered the alleyway.

Only then did Li Xin feel relieved, all the muscles in his body relaxed immediately, his tinnitus and dizziness made him feel like fainting.

"Big Cousin..." Zhao Changsheng called her from the side, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Li Xin covered his chest and coughed twice, looking at the man who was lying on the ground and being pinned down by the guards, he said bitterly: "He kicked me."

Zhao Changsheng was immediately angry, and he went up and gave him a kick: "If you dare to kick my cousin, I will kick it back!"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Changsheng, I pricked his foot, so I have avenged myself."

As he spoke, he sat up again and helped the little doll up.

The little baby was only seven or eight years old, and she lay obediently in Li Xin's arms with her eyes closed.It's hard to see what it looks like, but the clothes are enough to show that this is a doll from a wealthy family.Presumably those who came to shoot flowers also picked up this kind of children and tied them up. Maybe they kidnapped and sold them for a good price, or maybe they kidnapped them to blackmail the children's family members to pay for them.

But no matter what, Li Xin hated doing this kind of business.

The normal population trading here is run by dental firms, and the servants who sell them are all trained and will not suffer much.And this kind of abducted and sold secret door is the most abominable, it eats huge profits without any cost, and has no humanity at all for the abducted.Good-looking girls are sold to brothels, and good-looking boys don't know what to do with them.Nowadays, there are also masculine men in the upper class of the aristocracy... Thinking of this, Li Xin felt a chill.

Not long after the guards came, another group of people holding torches and lanterns appeared, who seemed to be the servants of a certain big family.

Li Xin was hugging the child and touching his face, and didn't pay attention to who was there. When someone exclaimed "Master", Li Xin raised his head to look at the person who came.

Coincidentally, the person in charge, Li Xin, not only met, but also received her favor.

"Quickly, call the doctor to take a look!" The woman in charge looked sad, and she seemed relieved to see the child, and then looked at Li Xin, only slightly surprised, and approached with a lantern.

"It's you?"
