Just Kidding You

There are so many adults, but not even one of them can see things clearly.

The shopkeeper's words left the man speechless. They did chase the child in, and many people saw it. There was no way he could make excuses.

"Okay, we accept the compensation, but you can't detain us just because we made a joke."

"It's a joke to lie to other people's children, but this joke is too much of a joke. So today, i will also play a joke on you and take you to the government office to have some tea and chat with the county magistrate. Okay?" Shopkeeper Liu spoke slowly and steadily, but his words made the two turn pale.

"Boss, you... stop joking." The man forced a smile and said.

"Do I look like someone who is joking?" Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him indifferently.

"Shopkeeper Liu, we were wrong. My husband and I were just joking with the child and we didn't have any bad intentions. Please be magnanimous and let us go. I have an old mother at home and a child to take care of. I really can't leave her alone."

The man instantly put on a bitter face and begged for mercy in a flexible manner. If he had not been held tightly by the two guys, he would have been willing to kowtow and beg for mercy as long as they could let him go.

The woman agreed with the man and she regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should have taken the money and ran away.

"You must be joking. Go and tell the county magistrate." Shopkeeper Liu didn't want to say anything more to the two of them, and immediately signaled his men to hold on tighter.

One of them was clever enough to run to the back and take out two hemp ropes, and was about to tie the man up. The man began to struggle frantically. Unfortunately, he was alone, so how could he be a match for the guys? He was pinned to the ground and tied up tightly with hemp ropes. The same happened to the cursing woman. If they was truly innocent, they would not be afraid of seeing the officials. They really had made a mistake. Then they accompanied the tavern shopkeeper and took the two of them to the government office.

Baodan didn't know that his smashing and looting had accidentally led to the capture of a beggar trafficker (or human trafficker) hiding in North City, and indirectly rescued several children who had not yet been evacuated. At this moment, the overly frightened Baodan fell asleep in the broken basket and once again missed the calls of those who were looking for him.

In the wood workshop, after more than an hour, the outer sheds of all the carriages were installed, and the free fodder was also loaded onto the carriages. The few extra coins from the purchase of the carriages were also exchanged by Gulan for fodder.

Holding their son's hand, the mother and son waited by the side. After the little guy went to the toilet, he didn't want to go out. He pulled Xiang Yunjin to find his mother. Xiang Yunjin couldn't make trouble, so he took him to find Gulan.

At this moment, the money has been paid, the carriages has been fully equipped, and Xiang Yunjin, Li Da and others are pulling the horses to load the cart one by one. Gulan's other two horses were also among them, and they were quickly loaded. The young and middle-aged men in the village all stood happily beside the carriage.

How can they not be happy!

With these carriages, they can save a lot of money, travel with light luggage, and their speed will also increase.

The steward escorted them and their carriages out of the workshop, only to find that one side of the workshop was full of people resting. Looking at the crowd and then at the carriages, he instantly understood why these people had such large buy at once. The manager nodded to Village Chief Li and then turned around and returned to the workshop with his employees.

Nineteen carriages were lined up in a row, stretching for a long distance. Men and women, everyone was very happy and couldn't let go of the carriage. Then, under the arrangement of the village chief, each family was divided into groups, with one carriage for every three or more families. Except for valuables, pack up everything else and put it in the cart. If there is any spare space, the elderly and the weak can get in.

Looking at the dozen or so families from Xishan Village who had been following them, in order not to be held back, the village chief decided to allocate two cart to help them transport their goods, but the drivers were still from Lijia Village. Village Chief Zhao was extremely grateful to Village Chief Li and kept saying thank you.

There were so many people and the speed was fast, so soon everyone had packed up and were waiting for the village chief to say it was time to leave. Village Chief Li was also ready. Just when he was about to say let's set off, he saw Village Chief Zhao walking towards him with a grim look on his face.

When he saw the village chief, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, can you wait a little longer? There are still a few of us who haven't come back yet."

Village chief Li looked up at the sun above his head. It was already noon. It took them half a day to buy a carriages. If there were a lot of things to do, it should have been done in such a long time. Why hasn't he come back yet?

He frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

Village Chief Zhao nodded and said, "Zhao Gang's child ran away and everyone went to look for him, but he hasn't come back yet."

"Zhao Gang?"

"He's the father of Daya and Erya."

After hearing this, the village chief knew who it was. It turned out to be the annoying younger brother of Daya and Erya who was missing. Although the village chief did not go to the scene that day, he knew everything that happened, and his daughters-in-law all told him about it. I know that child is not a worry-free child, but isn't he being watched by his parents? How can he be abandoned?

Thinking of this, the village chief also asked this question, only to hear Village Chief Zhao sigh, "Oh! Don't mention it, this child is too willful, and he ran away by himself because he was angry with his mother."

"This child is too bold." Upon hearing this, the village chief became even more displeased with this naughty child.

"yes!..."

As the two were talking, they saw a few men from Xishan Village who had gone out to look for the child coming back, but there was no sign of Zhao Gang and his wife.

Village Chief Zhao interrupted his words and went to meet the people. "How is it? Have you found the child?"

Zhao Shuyu shook his head at his father. Everyone was tired and thirsty, and they hadn't found anyone yet. Their faces didn't look very good.

"Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are still looking for him and don't want to come back."

"Oh!" Village Chief Zhao sighed again and came to Village Chief Li again. He looked at Village Chief Li apologetically, knowing that his village's affairs should not hinder Lijia Village, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said,

"Brother Li, can you wait a little longer? The child has not been found yet. At the latest, after noon, if the child is still not found, we will not wait any longer."

As the village chief, he has done his best. He has asked people to go out and look for the child, and has also kindly asked Village Chief Li to wait for them. If they still can't find the child, the child will die. Whether adults or children, they always have to pay the price for their impulsiveness.

Hearing this, the village chief nodded without hesitation. Not only that, he also called his son, Li Da and other young people to go look for him together.

No matter how big the problem is for this child, after all, they have been walking together for such a long time, and when they encountered danger, there were people in Xishan Village who helped them, so the necessary human touch should still be there.

Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao once again said "thank you" gratefully, and hurriedly called on the villagers to go look for it together. More than a dozen people left at once, and with such a big commotion, everyone soon knew that the precious child in Xishan Village was lost. Although some people gloat over other people's misfortune, most people are still worried and sigh.

Sigh, this kid is too much.

Gulan and the others naturally knew it too.

Xiang Yunjin didn't know who Baodan was talking about. He heard that the child ran away by himself. For such a willful person who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, he felt that he deserved to be lost. He has no worries about irrelevant people.
