Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 153 Looking for Xiaobai (2)
When they arrived at the old place, Da Huang led a group of dogs to surround him first. Da Huang barked at Li Zhu a few times, as if asking why Xiao Bai didn't come.

Li Zhu knew that Dahuang was smarter than ordinary dogs, so he told him about Xiaobai's sudden disappearance last night.

Rhubarb yelped, his voice sounded very angry.

Then he barked at the dogs for a while, low and high, as if to inform them.

"Woof." Da Huang turned around and called Li Zhu a few times.Then they dispersed with a group of dogs, probably to inquire about news.

When the surrounding vendors heard that Xiaobai was missing, they stepped forward to comfort him.At the same time, they also felt that this was within their expectations.Xiaobai is so famous, it's only a matter of time before people miss him.

Li Zhu didn't have much interest in doing business anymore, so she handed over the stall to Aunt Li, walked along the street for a while, and quietly went to inquire about the residence of Bai Jin's nephew.

Bai Jin is a dutiful son, and he brought his mother and elder brother's family with him when he came to Qinghe County to take office.His brother's name is Bai Qian, his nephew's name is Bai Shijie, and they live in Yujia Hutong.

After Li Zhu asked the address, he rushed all the way.

She walked fast and hurriedly, and when she entered the alley, she didn't pay attention to the people in front of her, and just bumped into a man.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Li Zhu apologized casually.

"You, you are that..." The person looked surprised.

Li Zhu had no choice but to stop and take a look at this person.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with a tall, tall figure and rather handsome appearance.Li Zhu faintly felt that this person had a kind face, and for a while he didn't want to meet him anywhere.

The young man obviously recognized Li Zhu, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Li Zhu with a smile: "Are you Miss Li?"

"Uh, yes, sorry, I don't know you, I have something urgent."

After Li Zhu finished speaking, she was about to walk away, she was not in the mood to chat with a stranger right now.

But the young man reached out to stop her, and then felt that he was too abrupt, and quickly explained with a smile: "Girl, I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask Miss Li what's urgent, can I help?"

The boy thought for a while, then cupped his hands and added, "My name is Ye Xuan."

Li Zhu had no choice but to say: "Master Ye, I'm looking for a dog, a white dog."

"White dog?" Ye Shixuan's eyes flashed, and he asked, "But the dog that can solve the case?"

Li Zhu didn't expect that Xiaobai was so famous that even a stranger knew him.

She nodded in acknowledgment.

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile: "A few days ago, Mr. Bai wanted to buy your dog, but your dog was lost a few days ago, so you suspect he did it?"

Li Zhu didn't expect that this guy's reasoning ability was still very strong, so he corrected him: "I don't doubt it, I just passed by here."

Ye Xuanwan'er smiled: "Miss Li, you don't have to go in and look for it, this young man won't steal your dog——although he's not very good, he won't do such a stealthy thing."

Li Zhu asked sharply: "So, Mr. Ye is very familiar with Bai Shijie?"

Ye Xuan made a haha: "I just know each other."

Li Zhu didn't really believe what this person said, since she was here, she had to go in and have a look before she could rest assured.

Ye Xuan also saw the distrust in Li Zhu's eyes, he smiled and said: "Since the girl doesn't believe me, I will take the girl into the mansion to have a look."

Li Zhu looked sideways at the high courtyard wall of Bai's house. She planned to climb over the wall and enter. Since she had an acquaintance to lead the way, it would be great.

"Let's go, you lead the way." Li Zhu said.

"Miss Li, do you want to go through the front door or the back door?" It's not difficult to come up with an honest reason to go in through the front door.

"Go through the back door." Li Zhu quickly made a decision.

Ye Xuan led Li Zhu along the wall for a while, then stopped suddenly, pointed to a gap and said, "This is a dog hole. Me and, oh, Bai Shijie dug it when we were young. You should be able to get in."
