Chapter 139
"You woman, you actually followed up." Seeing Bai Jinli's sudden appearance, Zhao Rui's face suddenly became ugly.

"Yeah, not only did I follow up, but I also know where you live. Little guy, your sister has already said, hurry up and get the things!"

"I'll give it to you, it's just a little food, as for chasing me desperately?" Zhao Rui threw those things into Bai Jinli's hands angrily.

"Rui'er, don't be rude!" The woman who had closed her eyes just now opened them again when she heard this, and began to look at Bai Jinli with half-stretched arms, and then said apologetically.

"Miss, I'm sorry, my brother is ignorant and has caused trouble to you. I hope you will forgive me."

Bai Jinli took the opportunity to look at the two of them.

To be honest, they look alike, especially their eyes, which are very bright and somewhat arrogant, with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, giving them a hint of sharpness and dignity.

And judging by the looks and attire of the two of them, it seems that they are not in the costumes and appearances of the Great Qi Kingdom.

There is also the temperament that he carries on his body, which is quite unique.

"Forget it, my lord does not remember villains, so I will let him go today. You are not from the county, why are you staying here?" Bai Jinli asked casually.

"You want to care?" Zhao Rui snorted coldly.

He hated this woman so much.

Obviously he was the best runner among them, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of this woman today.

What's more, this woman also saw the downfall of him and Ning'er with her own eyes, and she might have even heard their exchange just now.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to give Bai Jinli a good face.

"Rui'er, don't be rude!" The girl had changed from supporting her arms to being supported by Zhao Rui on a wooden pillar beside her.

After the reprimand, she spoke lightly with a polite and distant smile.

"We are indeed not from here. Because we were deceived by the adulterer, we appeared in a foreign land after waking up. It is really helpless to stay here, and I hope I did not cause trouble to the girl."

Bai Jinli found that this girl was really generous.

When she was supporting her arms just now, her back was straight. Even if she was sitting leaning against a pillar now, with ragged clothes and a haggard face, she couldn't hide the temperament revealed in her bones.

"Are you kidnapped and sold? Forget it, I won't pursue this matter."

"Thank you girl."

"Well, these two rice dumplings have been crushed, so I'll give them to you, and these food, here, take it!" Bai Jinli took out the food and stuffed it into Zhao Rui's hands, then turned around and was about to leave.

"By the way, I think she seems to be sick. You take her to Xuanbaotang to find Old Doctor Xue, and say that Bai Jinli asked you to go." After speaking, her figure disappeared into the alley.

"Ning'er, this..."

"Since it was given by Miss Bai, let's eat. You have been hungry for so many days." Zhao Ning smiled slightly, but was thinking in his heart.

If there is fate in the future, she will definitely repay this woman's kindness today.

"Ning'er, you eat first, here." Zhao Rui didn't mind, and helped peel off a rice dumpling, and handed it to Zhao Ning.

Then he picked up another one and gnawed on it.

After nibbling, he opened the cloth bag containing dried pork and handed it to Zhao Ning.

"Ruier, try it, there is such a delicacy in Qi State." Zhao Ning squeezed one and tasted it, then squeezed another and stuffed it into Zhao Rui's mouth.

"Well, it's barely okay. I don't like it very much. You can eat it by yourself. After eating, let's go to the Xuanbaotang she mentioned."

In fact, Zhao Rui also felt that the food was really delicious, especially when they had been hungry for many days.

But Ning'er is a woman, he should take care of Ning'er more, he can bear it.

After eating, when Zhao Rui supported Zhao Ning to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver ingot lying on the ground beside the shed.

The silver seems to be about 20 taels.

"Ning'er, did she accidentally drop this?" Zhao Rui picked up the 20 taels of silver and asked.

"I'm afraid she left it here on purpose." Zhao Ning is a person with a clear mind, looking into Bai Jinli's eyes, it is clear that she has the idea of ​​helping them.

"Then we give it back to her?"

"No, since she gave this kindness, let's take it. Rui'er, remember her name, Bai Jinli. When we go back, we will find a chance to repay her well." Zhao Ning's tone was solemn.

Without this woman, they would have starved to death or died of illness.

But after having 20 taels of silver, the two of them will be able to find a way to go back when she recovers from her illness.

"Well, I got it, Ning'er." Zhao Rui nodded, and the expression of impatience and disgust no longer appeared on his face.

When Bai Jinli went back under the tree with the cigarette bag he had recovered, he only saw the figure of old man Bai, but Mrs. Li didn't know where she had gone.

"Father, where's my mother? Why isn't she here?"

"Lizi, you're back? Did you catch the thief? Your mother said she went to buy something for you, but she hasn't come back yet!"

"I didn't catch it, he slipped away, but I picked it up." Bai Jinli handed over the cigarette bag and continued to ask.

"My mother went shopping for me? What are you buying?"

Old man Bai felt sorry for his zongzi, but he was relieved to find the cigarette bag back.As for the zongzi, if you lose it, just throw it away, anyway, I still have it at home.

"Your mother said that she just saw that you were very interested in a toy bird at a stall, so she wanted to buy it for you. I don't know why, but I haven't come back since I went there for so long.

If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't find us when you came back, I would have wanted to look for her, and I don't know if I got lost or what happened. "Old man Bai opened his mouth to explain.

"Toy bird? Let's go and have a look." Bai Jinli was slightly startled, but then remembered.

When she was shopping just now, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a toy bird carved out of wood. The bird looked a bit like the one she had caught before, so she took a second look.

Unexpectedly, her mother thought she really liked it and went to buy it for her.

"Well, let's go."

According to memory, when the two of them were about to walk to the booth, they heard Mrs. Li's voice from there.

"It's just a piece of wood, it's so expensive? Why don't you go grab it? Even if it's expensive, I'll buy it. It's just that I asked you to give me another inkstone. Why are you so brainless!"

"Auntie, we also want to do business. If you say to send an inkstone, that's not okay. We will pay for it. Do you know how expensive that inkstone is? It's much more expensive than a wooden bird!" The stall owner added with a depressed face. have no choice.

"Why is it expensive? Isn't it just a broken thing, how valuable is it? If it wasn't for my daughter's ability to use it for writing in school recently, I wouldn't be willing to take it for nothing." Mrs. Li snorted coldly.

"Auntie, why don't I stop selling this bird, why don't you go to another place to see it?" The stall owner wanted to cry.

This aunt is too powerful!It took him almost two cups of tea just to bargain for fifty copper coins, and I don't know if she talked for so long and with such a loud voice, is she tired?
Just because of her voice, how many customers have been scared away?
"Don't sell it? Why! It's not that my mother won't give me money, why don't you sell it to me? Anyway, I don't care, I want the bird, and you must give me this inkstone. The price is still the previous price."

Hearing Mrs. Li's tone and appearance of forcing the sale, the stall owner was so angry that he wanted to report to the authorities.

Is there such a person?ah?

"Mom, since they don't want to sell it, then forget it. Actually, I don't like this thing very much." Bai Jinli hurried forward to pull Mrs. Li.

"Girl, are you back? Did the thief catch you? Are you tired from running? Are you sleepy? Are you thirsty?" Seeing her appear, Mrs. Li asked quickly.

"Well, I'm back. The thief didn't catch him. I found my father's things. Mom, I seem to be really thirsty after you say that. Let's go, let's find a place to drink tea."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jinli dragged Mrs. Li away, and gave the stall owner an apologetic smile.

Old man Bai also heaved a sigh of relief, and followed beside the two of them.

The onlookers also dispersed when they saw this place.

Actually, it's not a big deal, is it?It's nothing more than people talking about the business and not negotiating it. It's nothing new. It's better to squeeze in and watch the dragon boat race.

I heard that there are several teams in this year's dragon boat race, and the first team to win still has 100 taels. They have to go to see the excitement.

"How much are these two things? I want them, wrap them up for me."

"Huh? Alright, a total of one, two, and fifty-three copper coins!"

"Well, there's no need to look for it." Yan Su directly threw two taels of silver over there.

"Okay, I've wrapped it up for you, take it away, go slowly, welcome to come back next time!"

Just after Bai Jinli and the others walked out a few steps, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from beside their ears.

Bai Jinli glanced back, it was Su Yan who was dressed in white.

"Miss Bai, what a coincidence!"

"Master Su, you come to the market too!" Bai Jinli greeted politely.

"Yes, there is a dragon boat race today. I heard it's very lively. Come and have a look. These two are your father Lingtang, right?" Yan Su greeted Mr. Bai and Mrs. Li with a smile.

He came here as soon as he left Zhongling Embroidery Workshop, but he didn't see Bai Jinli after searching for a long time.

He was planning to go to the restaurant alone, and when Yan Yi came to look for someone, he saw the noisy scene in the market.

"Lizi, who is this person? Do you know him?" Grandma Li couldn't help asking Bai Jinli in a low voice when she looked at the handsome man in front of her who gave off a feeling of spring breeze.

"Well, yes, he has business dealings with Lin Chenyuan, we met before." Bai Jinli explained.

"So that's it. Hello, my lord. I am Lizi's mother, and he is Lizi's biological father." Seeing Yan Su's unusual appearance, Mrs. Li was very polite to him.

"Well, I'm very glad to meet Miss Bai and the two of you. You are also going to watch the dragon boat race, right? Then it's just on the way, let's go together."

"No need, I plan to take my parents to drink tea first, Mr. Su, you can go first." Bai Jinli refused.

They are just a cooperative relationship, and her parents are still there, so even if they want to talk about something, it's not too convenient now.
