Chapter 173
Wei Yingluo put down the Tang Dynasty Daily in her hand, waved to the child who was still arguing, and said, "Xiao Shitou, come here, sister, ask you something."
Xiao Shitou was stunned and pointed at him. Seeing Wei Yingluo nodding, she confirmed that she was calling her, and as if she had won an honor, she stood up with her breasts and walked to Wei Yingluo with her eight characters.
For the children in this yard, Wei Yingluo is like a god in their hearts. Although these children talk and laugh with the maid, they dare not act rashly in front of Wei Yingluo. They usually don’t dare to talk to her at all. Only when Wei Yingluo spoke on her own initiative would they dare to say a few words to her.
Even if there is only one sentence, it will be enough to show off for a few days.
Wei Yingluo squatted down and asked, "Xiao Shitou, you just said, "The nobleman who gave you steamed buns, everyone calls him the Marquis?"
"Um!"
Xiao Shitou's expression was very serious, for fear of missing a word. He would answer whatever Wei Yingluo asked, and he would not dare to say more.
"Is there a big man next to him and a masked man?"
"Um!"
Xiao Shitou focused his head and said in a strange mood, "Is it someone my sister knows?"
Wei Yingluo smiled, touched Xiao Shitou's head, and said, "It's someone my sister knows, go."
Xiao Shitou turned around and ran away, and Wei Yingluo picked up the Tang Dynasty Daily again. She knew that the person Xiao Shitou must be Li Mu. She just didn't expect that a "evil" like Li Mu would have such a kind side.
But this is just an episode. The most important thing now is to solve puzzles and get a bounty. One question can be at least fifty taels. With these fifty taels, buying grain to make porridge can at least fill these children with food for a month. If you can solve two questions, you may also buy some coal, so when it snows, these children will not be frozen.
"Mandarin ducks play in the water, butterflies are in love with flowers. I have thousands of tenderness, who can I integrate with in this life..." Wei Yingluo walked to the wall and whispered the puzzle. She couldn't help but admire Li Mu's talent. It was just a riddle, and she could be so catchy.
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded above his head: "...Red beans are originally seeds of lovesickness, but they were planted in my heart in my previous life. I am waiting for the fate to meet each other and enjoy the spring, summer, autumn and winter together. Miss Wei, are you sowed by my marquis' talent?"
Wei Yingluo was startled and subconsciously looked up. She saw Li Mu squatting on the wall and looking at him with a smile. It turned out that when Wei Yingluo asked Xiao Shitou, Ergou had sent someone back to deliver the letter. Li Mu's three brothers had horses, so they rushed over quickly.
Hearing Wei Yingluo's scream, all the children who were drinking porridge put down their broken bowls and gathered to her. Although they didn't know what they could do, they still gathered together as Wei Yingluo faced danger and blocked her with their weak body.
Everyone looked at Li Mu in fear, and their lips were so nervous that they pursed, but no one stepped back, and none of them.
"Children, don't be nervous, he is not a bad guy. You all go back and go back to have porridge..." Wei Yingluo persuaded, but it was useless, and the children still surrounded her tightly.
Li Mu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that there were so many beggars here, with only 10 or 20 people. He looked at the big pot in the yard and was making porridge, but this porridge was light soup and was less watery, and it might be more suitable to call it rice soup.
Li Mu picked his eyelids, looked down at the children, and said with a hunched face: "What do you mean? Do you think of me as a villain? It's outrageous! What is this marquis that I want to do? Can you stop me? It's annoying!"
Wei Yingluo thought in her heart that Li Mu was a bad person, worried that he would be unfavorable to the children, so she quickly said, "Don't be angry, the children are ignorant, I apologize to you..."
"It's useless!" Li Mu said with a calm face. "Okay, Wei Yingluo, when he saw Master, he not only didn't call Master, but he was too lazy to call him a marquis. He also found such a large group of helpers. Is it because I am alone and out of thin air?"
"This..." Wei Yingluo looked at the children around her, and then looked at the serious Li Mu, who was so funny that she couldn't laugh or cry. Where was this?
Li Mu snorted angrily and said, "Where is my person!"
Li Chongyi, who was squatting behind the wall, was the first to stand up, and Ergou and others jumped down from all directions and surrounded the children. Li Chongyi was eight feet tall, half a head taller than a seven-foot wall. When Xiao Shitou saw him, he quickly pointed at him and said, "Did you see? I'm not lying, there are really people as tall as the eaves!"
The maid quickly pressed his hand down, glared at him fiercely, and whispered: "When is it? I'm still pointing around, don't want your little claws!"
"Hey? That girl is right! Child, how dare you point me? Good thing! I haven't eaten a child for a few days. Today I will use you to satisfy my cravings. Pig trotters, you know, human trotters are more delicious, I will eat you today! Ergou, catch the child for me!"
"promise!"
A group of gangsters responded and reached out to catch the child. A group of teenage children were not their opponents, and they were both caught. There were wild children who had to bite people, but they were not the opponents of these gangsters who were born in the market. They were all used to fighting on the streets and alleys. If they were successful by a group of children, they would be considered to be a dog's belly.
I saw them wrapping their arms around and pinching the numb tendons of these children. The children suddenly felt soft and numb, and their bodies were out of control. This is the trick of the people in the market stealing children, and most people don’t know it. This shows that Ergou has won over a group of people.
Seeing that the children were caught, Wei Yingluo was so anxious that she was about to shed tears. She glared at Li Mu and said, "These children are so pitiful, why do you still want..." Before she finished speaking, Li Mu reached out and pointed at Dugu Jiu's toes and pointed at Wei Yingluo's neck, knocking her out directly.
The maid rushed over and was also tragically "harmed".
Li Mu snorted and said to Ergou: "Check if there are any beggars nearby. If there are any, they will bring them to Jingdongji. The nearby houses are idle and abandoned. Please count how many of them are there. This marquis is useful."
"promise!"
"Jiu'er, reward!"
Dugu Jiu stretched out his hand and took out a ingot this time. It was five taels and threw it to Ergou. Ergou got the money and smiled so hard that his eyes were gone. Although the Marquis had a bad temper, he was really generous in his actions!
There is a large warehouse in the backyard of the grocery store. Bai Naoer built it to stack goods. Dry firewood was stacked in a corner with a template, and it also acted as a firewood.
Wei Yingluo woke up slowly, and there was a blurry shadow in front of her. She closed her eyes and opened it again. This time her gaze became clearer. Li Mu sat on a chair with a small case next to it, with a plate of sauce meat on the case and a wine pot next to it. He was eating sauce meat with a mouthful of wine.
Wei Yingluo moved for a moment and found that she could not move at all. She looked down and tears almost fell out. This inhumane guy actually tied himself to a pillar. And... he tied him up very shamefully. He tied his ankles, knees, waist, and chest... he tied up a fork, making her face red with shame.
"woke up?"
Li Mu took a sip of the wine pot, swallowed the flesh in his mouth, got up and came to Wei Yingluo. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The smell of the sauce meat and the smell of wine were mixed together, and Wei Yingluo was so fumigated that she coughed.
Li Mu looked at her coughing with a smile, and said, "Wei Yingluo, it fell on her hand. Do you have nothing to say?"
"You are a villain!" Wei Yingluo looked at Li Mu hatefully, not knowing whether it was wronged or fumigated, and shed tears: "How can you bear to attack the children? They are already pitiful enough, and it is not easy to live for a day. You... It would be fine if you don't help them, you still catch them, you..."
Li Mu sneered: "Help? Why should I help them? Why should I help them? Is their pity caused by me? Why should I be responsible?"
"..." Wei Yingluo was choked, and seemed to not know how to answer. She paused and continued, "No one asked you to take responsibility, nor did anyone ask you to help, but you wouldn't bully them! Would you be happy to bully them?"
"Why are you unhappy? People's happiness comes from torture. Just like now, I'm very happy if I tie you here." Li Mu approached Wei Yingluo, and Wei Yingluo hid next to her, but she was tied up and could not hide.
Li Mu stopped a little wide from Wei Yingluo and said, "I will make you disrespect your master. Today, I will give you a long memory!"
"What are you going to do!!"
"Hehe..." Li Mu smiled grimly and said, "What else can I do? A man, a woman, and a house without others. What do you think I want to do?"
"I..." Wei Yingluo spit out her tongue and bit her, and said in a vague way: "Your medicine is like a dry tiger, I am a wine four, and I am a ghost. I am a ghost.
"Scar me? Ha! You bite me!"
Li Mu acted to take off Wei Yingluo's clothes. Wei Yingluo closed her eyes and bitten it hard. But under normal circumstances, a person could not bite his tongue and commit suicide. Because nerve reflexes were not allowed, this was a conclusion drawn by later scientific research, except in a particularly excited state. Wei Yingluo was not so excited that she could bite her tongue and commit suicide. She just hurt and couldn't bite her.
I complained about my incompetence in my heart, and tears could no longer be stopped and fell down.
Is it going to be defiled by this inhuman beast today?
"Miss!"
"Huh?" Wei Yingluo thought she had hallucinations. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Li Mu had gone somewhere, and instead was her maid. And looking at the maid, she didn't seem to have been persecuted.
If the wine pot and sauce meat were not there, Wei Yingluo would have thought she was dreaming.
