Chapter 99 The truth?

Sitting up suddenly, Xiaoxun panted heavily, like a dying fish out of water.He remembered where he had seen the cage-carrying boy.

It turned out to be him, the child in the cage next to him when he escaped from the clutches of Human Fangzi!
Although the body shape has changed, the mole at the corner of the eye cannot be changed.

The weather was hot, and all the rooms in the house had their windows open. The sound of heavy breathing was transmitted to the next door. Xiaoruo knocked on the wall and asked, "Axun? What's wrong with you?"

The walls of the houses here are thin, and the windows are open. There is no need to move between the two adjacent rooms, and you can hear what the people next door are talking about directly.

After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Xiaoxun, Xiaoruo felt something was wrong, put down the account book in her hand, got up and walked out the door, and walked into Xiaoxun's room.

"Ah Xun?" She pushed back the gauze that kept out mosquitoes, and Xiao Xun sat on the head of the bed, still panting heavily with her hands resting on her forehead.

Unable to see the face of the person in front of her, Xiaoruo worriedly stretched out her hand to touch it, only to realize that his hand was trembling slightly.

"Axun, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Now she also became flustered, and looked down at Xiaoxun's face.

"Ruo Ruo..." Xiao Xun whispered, "I saw him..."

"Who? Who did you see?"

"That man, the man carrying the birdcage, he is the child in the cage next to me!"

Xiaoruo didn't react for a moment to the nonsensical words, and subconsciously repeated what Xiaoxun said just now: "The child...in the cage next to it?"

Holding Xiaoruo's hand, feeling the warmth of the soft catkin in the palm, Xiaoxun's breath gradually stabilized, except for the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, there was no trace of his nightmare just now.

"Do you remember how I escaped from Ren Yazi's car?"

Xiao Ruo frowned and tried to recall the memories Xiao Xun told when she was in Qiang and Fan, "You said you were all locked in cages in the car, and you opened the cages with wire... wire?! You mean that boy was with you The children who were transported together?"

Xiaoxun nodded, let go of his soft hands, turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the soap boots and put them on his feet.

Looking at the sundial, he fell asleep for less than half an hour, but it was impossible to fall asleep now.

"Ruo Ruo, I want to see that boy again."

Ask him if he is the child of that year, and if so, where were they transported back then?Who was it sold to?Now why do you become Mrs. Li Chun's personal attendant?
If he needs help, Xiaoxun doesn't mind helping him get out of his current situation and find his real origin.

Xiaoruo understands what Xiaoxun means, besides the same hatred for Ren Yazi, he also has a trace of guilt in his heart.

It's a pity that Xiaoxun was too weak back then. It was a blessing to be able to protect himself under the circumstances at that time. He really didn't have the energy to help other children.

"Okay, let's go to the chamber of commerce together."

After a little tidying up the messy and wrinkled clothes from the afternoon nap, the two hurried out the door.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, old man Cen called to the two of them: "What are you two doing at noon? Be careful of the heat!"

The old man felt shallow, just now he felt someone talking outside while he was half asleep and half awake, when he got up to look, he happened to see the backs of the two in a hurry.

Before he had time to explain to old man Cen, Xiaoruo just said "Let's go to the chamber of commerce" and disappeared at the door.

The distance between the chamber of commerce and Xiao's house was not too far, so they didn't care about whether they would get sunburned or not, and they didn't choose to walk in the shadows. The two quickened their pace and walked directly through the alley, and arrived at the chamber of commerce compound in a short while.

The crowd of onlookers at the entrance of the courtyard in the morning has dispersed, and the wedding musicians have disappeared. Only the cicadas hiding in the treetops are singing tirelessly at the quiet entrance.

After stepping through the gate, there were only two guys in the yard sweeping and tidying up. One of the guys looked up and saw the two of them, stopped the broom in his hand, and said enthusiastically with a smile on his face, "Miss Xiao, why are you back?"

It was the guy who asked Xiaoruo to pass the message when Xiaoruo was about to leave in the morning.

"Where's Mrs. Li Chun?" Seeing the empty courtyard, Xiaoruo had a vague guess in her heart.

"The customers have already left! The shopkeepers are paying commissions to the guards inside, why don't you go in and have a look?" The clerk held the broom in one hand and pointed in the direction of the main hall with the other.

left already?

The two looked at each other, then turned around and left tacitly at the same time, leaving the two cleaners looking at each other.

"Miss Xiao, what's the matter? Why is she so serious..."

"I do not know……"

Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun left the Chamber of Commerce compound and went straight to Yuelai Inn.

The Yuelai Inn is a little far from the chamber of commerce, one is on the east side of the city, and the other is on the southwest side of the city. It takes three streets and two alleys to get there.

The tail of midsummer in early July is still powerful, and the noon sun makes the bluestone slabs on the street hot.

During the summer season, people don't go out, and there are no guests. At this moment, people are hiding at home, but there are no other people on the street, only Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun running under the scorching sun.

Although Xiaoruo is not afraid of the heat, the thin embroidered soles can't resist the hot stone slabs, and with the non-stop rush, the delicate soles of her feet are already blistering.

Frowning willow-leaf eyebrows, biting her lips with her snow-white teeth, she continued walking without saying a word while pulling at the corner of Xiaoxun's clothes.

Suddenly, the light-white fingers were pulled by resistance, and it was Xiaoxun who stopped in his tracks.

Xiaoruo tilted her head to look at Xiaoxun, and before she could ask why she didn't leave, she saw Xiaoxun stepping up to her, bending her back towards her knees, squatting down halfway, motioning for Xiaoruo to come up.

Liu raised her eyebrows, Xiaoruo was not polite, she jumped on his broad back and put her arms around Xiaoxun's neck.

The person behind is the sweetheart, the moment she jumped up, Xiaoxun immediately supported her petite body, and bumped up, making sure that the person behind her was safe, he immediately walked like flying, and continued to walk towards the Yuelai Inn.

------

Da Mao, the guy at the Yuelai Inn, is not very happy today. The sun is extremely hot today, and there are no ghosts on the street, let alone in the inn.In addition to the monthly money, his main income is the rewards from the guests. Without the guests, he has no extra income.

Sitting crookedly at the table near the door, with the tablecloth casually draped over his shoulders, Da Mao was dazed with his head drooping.The innkeeper saw him wandering off, shook his head and went into the backyard. Anyway, there is no one in the store now, so he might as well go to take a nap at noon.

"Little Er, Little Brother!" The crisp female voice was like a cool spring, pulling Da Mao back from the air.

He immediately got up and bent down, and instinctively sang the lines that he repeated countless times every day: "Hello, guest officer, may I ask whether you are going to the tip or stay in the hotel?"

After finishing speaking habitually, Da Mao raised his head to look at the person passing by.

I saw that the visitors were a man and a woman, handsome and pretty, both of them had extraordinary auras, not like ordinary guests.

He showed a more attentive smile and looked at the two of them more earnestly.

Is he looking at a guest?No, he was looking at the mobile bounty!
The pretty and lovely girl spoke first, and said, "Second brother, we are not here to stay in the hotel, we are here to find Mrs. Li Chun."

As soon as these words came out, Da Mao's courteous smile disappeared immediately, and he regained his dispirited expression. He tilted his body, put his hands casually on the edge of the table, and continued to sit on the stool.

"Mrs. Li Chun, she has already left." He replied casually.

"Leaving?" It was the heroic man who spoke this time, with obvious doubts in his tone.

"Yeah, so the one who lived in the Tianzi room, right? She settled the rent at noon and took her brother with her."

Speaking of this matter, Da Mao still feels a bit heartbroken. Although this lady rarely sees the deity, every time she serves her, she can get a lot of rewards.

Seeing the guy's indifferent attitude, Xiao Ruo took out ten Wen coins from the sleeve and put them on the table: "Second brother, please think about it, how long has this lady been gone? Did the young man carrying the birdcage go with him?"

Looking at the ten Wen coins in his hand, Da Mao scooped up the copper coins in his palm, and put on a courteous smile on his face again. "It's been more than half an hour. The young man you mentioned is her younger brother. Naturally, he walked with her."

"Brother?" Xiao Xun frowned imperceptibly, and asked, "Are you sure it's her brother?"

After getting the reward, Da Mao was very patient: "I'm sure, I went to bring her water a few times, and I heard her call that young man's younger brother, and asked him if he was hungry or thirsty. He looked so concerned, it must be her own brother." Yeah."
