Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

Chapter 215: Leaking the water

"Happy New Year, Little Stone!"

"Roar, roar, roar~"

"Woof woof woof~"

"Squeak~"

Each of the three responded happily. The simple and plain New Year's Eve dinner was unforgettable.

Although there were no relatives around, the brother and sister felt relaxed and happy.

People and pets chattered nonsense, and when they were full of meat and food, they lay on the kang and laughed foolishly.

"Brother, the New Year's money hasn't been distributed yet!" Lin Shu suddenly said.

Although the New Year’s money seems very distant to her, it is the happiest memory of her youth.

"Okay, big brother, I'll give it to you right away."

Lin Hongyi got up with a smile on his face, and rummaged in his arms with his back to Lin Shu!

Two small golden bells hang together with the jade wind chimes.

Shake it gently and it will make a clear and pleasant sound, which is really nice!

"Happy New Year, little sister!"

"It's so beautiful. When did you buy it? I didn't know about it."

Lin Shu stretched out her hand in surprise and motioned for her brother to put it on.

Shake it gently, put it to your ear to listen to the sound of the bell, and the corners of your lips curl up.

“While wandering outside, I noticed a little kid had.

After some inquiries, I finally bought the last pair." Lin Hongyi scratched his head and said.

"Brother, you're so nice. I have a gift for you too!"

Lin Shu took out a sharp knife from the space, about the length of her palm.

Pull out a strand of Lin Hongyi's hair and blow dry it to find it has broken.

"What a sharp knife! I like it!"

Lin Hongyi took the knife and put it away as if it were a treasure.

He was reluctant to use such a sharp knife to cut meat or remove bones.

The naive boy also has a dream of becoming a knight.

...

At midnight, after setting off firecrackers in the courtyard, the two brothers went to the street holding lanterns.

The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the imperial city, the smell of gunpowder filled the sky above the imperial city, and scraps of paper were scattered all over the ground.

The wet rat, along with a group of his younger brothers, dragged small cloth bags and headed towards Jingzhao Prefecture.

The curfew was lifted because of the New Year.

The streets are full of people parading with lanterns, and there are all kinds of interesting lanterns of flowers, birds, and animals.

Red lanterns light up half the sky, and the best business are the various food stalls and lantern shops.

"Go away, go out!"

The lantern shop was on fire and passers-by dodged.

The crowded streets caused people to fall to the ground, and Lin Shu held her elder brother's hand and struggled to squeeze out.

Pushing and trampling incidents occurred frequently, and screams and cries were drowned out by the crowd.

As soon as she squeezed out of the crowd, Lin Shu felt something was wrong.

Because the hand she was holding was long and slightly cold, not the usual dry warmth, she raised her head and took a peek.

Damn, I got the wrong person.

A young man in his twenties, wearing a black bear cloak, was about the same height as Lin Hongyi.

It's really similar and deadly.

Lin Shu was afraid of meeting a kidnapper, so she rolled her eyes and spoke in a buzzing voice.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, I need to poop."

Xu Hongda frowned slightly, grabbed Lin Shu by the back of her collar, and said in a deep voice.

"Who are you? Where is my young master?"

Lin Shu was secretly surprised at this person's sharpness, as he could see through someone's identity with just one sentence.

This person is not simple.

"Wow~ bad guy, put me down and give me back my big brother.

Wow wow wow…”

Lin Shu closed her eyes and just cried out at the top of her lungs.

The crying and shouting sounded like a devil's sound filling Xu Hongda's ears. It sounded like hundreds of ducks quarreling.

He let out a long breath and said patiently.

"Who is your eldest brother? Where did he get lost? Come with me to find him."

He must find the young master, otherwise his life will be in danger.

"That should be where the lanterns caught fire." Lin Shu sobbed and pointed at the street behind her where the fire was still burning.

"go!"

Xu Hongda directly picked up Lin Shu and flew out, not giving her a chance to walk.

【It’s amazing to be able to do Qinggong! 】

[He always lifts people's collars from behind. He has no manners at all. 】

While being carried and running, Lin Shu noticed with her sharp eyes that someone was holding a child and turning into an alley.

"Hey……"

She pointed to the entrance of the alley, where people had already reached the source of the fire.

"Little Stone, Little Stone, where are you!"

Lin Hongyi was rubbing his hands in the fire with sweat on his forehead, and his voice was filled with tears.

"Stone, little stone!

How can I live without you?"

"If he's dead, he's dead. What's the point of looking for him?

It's shameful for a grown man to cry like a woman.

You are not even qualified to be my bodyguard.

Hey, the big guy is talking to you!

You are dumb, believe it or not, I will have someone cut off your tongue and dig out your eyes..."

The young man in brocade robes, with his arms folded across his chest, chattered non-stop.

His words were full of venom and he looked like a spoiled child.

Lin Hongyi turned a deaf ear to this and was determined to find his younger sister as soon as possible.

He wanted to chop off his own paws. Why did he end up holding onto such a naughty kid?

The noise along the way almost drove him crazy.

If I wasn't in a hurry to find my little sister, I would have beaten this naughty kid up.

The kind that even his parents can’t recognize him.

"Brother, I'm here!"

Lin Shu waved her claws and shouted at the boy who was covered in dust.

"Little Stone, Little Stone, it's really you!

Woohoo, big brother has been looking for you for so long!"

When Lin Hongyi heard the familiar voice, he rushed over crying and grabbed Lin Shu.

The two brothers hugged each other and cried in the street, like brothers who had been separated for 800 years.

【Two crybabies! 】

Xu Hongda glanced at the two of them with a headache, and seeing his princess coming over with a proud look on her face, he knew that she would be scolded again.

"I'm sorry, sir. It was my negligence. Please go back home."

Xu Hongda knelt on one knee respectfully and said.

"I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Humph, you useless Xu Wu, I asked you to take me out for fun, but you dared to run away with others.

After returning home, I took a walk in the Treasure Garden.

Whether you can come out alive depends on your luck."

There was a flash of excitement in the kid's eyes, and he glanced at the two people who were crying together.

"Hmph!" He snorted and walked away, stepping on the ashes.

The person who was pretending to cry in Lin Hongyi's arms heard the cursing voices getting farther and farther away.

"Brother, let's go!"

She didn't want to mess with that troublemaker, who looked like someone who was not easy to get along with.

The little girl dressed as a boy had no disguise on her face, as if she was afraid that others would not recognize her.

"go!"

Lin Hongyi stuffed his little sister into his bearskin cloak and held her tightly with one hand.

When Lin Hongyi found out that his little sister was missing, his heart almost burst out.

He only remembered to go back to the original place and wait. It was so dark that he had no idea where to find anyone.

Fortunately, my younger sister found it herself.

After calming down, Lin Hongyi realized that he was worrying for nothing.

Because he believed that with his younger sister's ability, she could return to the courtyard alone.

But he still wanted to know the whole story.

"Little Stone, tell me what happened just now."

“When the fire started, I thought you were right next to me, so I grabbed your hand and pushed forward.

However, when I squeezed out, I found that the person was different, but the clothes he was wearing were the same.

He was afraid that the man was a cripple, so he pretended to have a stomachache, but he was found out as soon as he opened his mouth.

You will know what happened later.”

Lin Shu told the whole story, but concealed the fact that she had discovered the real kidnapper.

What if her guess was wrong?

It is better to have less trouble than more.
