"Young Master, did they make a hole in the boat below and enter the water?" Da Cong was dumbfounded and tried to find an excuse.
"I think water has entered your head. Didn't you say you were counting people? Why did water enter again? There will be fewer people entering. Are you stupid? " This young master was also puzzled. Da Cong and Xiao Cong were usually smart people. What happened to them today? They seemed to lose track of each other every time.
Xiao Cong was at the side and could not understand. It was strange. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. Looking at the young master's gloomy face, he said softly, "Young Master, this time I will not lose track of them. I will go again."
"Go, all of you go. Follow them. What's the point of losing track of them? If they wanted to do something, they would have done it long ago. Go take a look and learn from them. Tomorrow, get someone to find Young Master Song. Go early in the morning. Don't wait for him to find us. Tell him that we have no ill intentions. "
This young master gave up on punishing the two of them and waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.
Da Cong and Xiao Cong did not understand and asked at the same time, "Young Master, why would he find us?"
"You can follow them, but they will follow you. If you lose track of them, do you think they will lose track of them as well? They have not sent the bailiffs to find them because they are waiting. If we go tomorrow, we will be weaker than them. "
"Young Master is saying that they are following us and did not see them. Da Cong and I have been very careful. What is the use of the bailiffs coming? They dare to arrest us? Why? "Xiao Cong did not believe it.
The young master laughed, "Kekeke, not arresting them, but dragging you to see an illness. Do you know what illness it is? Water has entered your head. Scram. "
Da Cong and Xiao Cong ran out in confusion and stood at the entrance of the house. They looked around cautiously.
"Da Cong, did you see them? Are they following us? "Xiao Cong asked.
"No, Young Master said so. Let's go, Young Master is angry. I've been following him until night time today, and I'll follow him during the day tomorrow. I don't believe I can lose him again." Da Cong looked back at the house, shivered, and walked quickly to the night market.
When the two of them arrived at the night market, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan each ate a fruit pancake. They were almost full and were eating prawns. This time, the prawns were small, about an inch long. They were taken out of the bucket alive. When they were roasted, they would turn red. They didn't even need to peel the skin off their heads.
"Just brush it with some salt water. It won't have much taste. Xiao Bao, you eat one more. I'll eat one more. Let's split these two. Let's go. They're coming."
Wang Juan burped. Seeing the two prawns left in front of her, she gave one to Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao was also full, but he couldn't bear to throw it away. He took the prawn and peeled off the shell. He put the meat in his mouth and slowly chewed. He gave a look to the person beside him. The person beside him threw a few copper coins to pay for the prawn.
"Let's go. We'll throw them off again. We'll study at the inn over there." Zhang Xiaobao wiped his hands, stood up, and walked with Wang Juan to the stall.
"The two of them are wearing white clothes. It's finally easy to recognize them. Follow them." Da Cong looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan standing up and memorized the color of their clothes. The most conspicuous thing was that the two of them were surrounded by several bodyguards. He finally recognized them.
Xiao Cong took a deep breath and clenched his fist. Only then did he follow. Today was really too shameful. He had to get back at them.
People came and went in the night market. Because it was close to the pier, some small goods shipped from other places were bought by the people at the small stalls at the pier. They were waiting to set up a stall here at night to earn a few copper coins or exchange for some necessities. Their days would be better. It was almost winter. It was not easy to find work. If they didn't leave some money, it would be difficult to find someone to ask for help.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan strolled slowly in the night market. They stopped from time to time to take a look. Occasionally, they would buy one or two small things. As they walked, the number of people in front of them suddenly increased. There were some new cheap radishes. They were selling them one copper coin for three.
The price was low. They could be eaten in winter or made into pickles. They could be eaten with rice. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and gestured to the person next to them. The two of them also squeezed into the crowd.
A moment later, a group of bodyguards escorted two children in white clothes out of the crowd and continued to walk forward.
Da Cong wiped the sweat on his forehead and complained, "It's so crowded. I didn't lose them. Let's go closer."
"They are not afraid of squeezing people. If I were Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's family, I would find new bodyguards for them." Xiao Cong also muttered.
After the two of them followed, in front of the crowd, there were two children in gray clothes. Each of them had a bundle of white things in their arms. They were squatting there and picking radishes. Each of them was holding a copper coin in their hand.
"Xiao Bao, I think these radishes are good. Buy them and stew them with beef. Help me tie them up. Forget it, use your clothes to carry them. Give me the money. These six radishes are what we want."
Wang Juan wrapped the three radishes in her clothes and threw the money to them. She got up and walked back with Zhang Xiaobao. Two more bodyguards came to their side.
After an hour, Da Cong and Xiao Cong were a little annoyed. They squeezed around and didn't know why the two children didn't stop strolling. When they came to a place that sold all kinds of wood carvings, the two children squatted there and picked. The bodyguards around them dispersed at the same time, as if they didn't care about the two children.
Da Cong and Xiao Cong were confused again. When they got closer, they heard the girl say to the boy, "Brother, the people in Zhuangzi of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are so good. They gave us a set of clothes and bought us a lot of things. They protected us all the way to the house. When we go back later, I will show mother. I bought five feet of cloth for her."
"Little sister, they also gave me ten copper coins. I will buy some wine for father. Give me two copper coins." The boy also said happily.
Hearing this voice, Da Cong and Xiao Cong rushed over and squatted down to look at the two children carefully. At first glance, they knew that they were not the children. They were about the same height and hair, but their faces were definitely not as good looking as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"You … why are you wearing white clothes?" Xiao Cong swallowed her saliva and asked unwillingly.
"Why do you care what we wear? Our house is right next door. If you dare to do anything bad, you are finished. Uncle Yamen Runner, someone wants to arrest us." The little girl looked at Da Cong and Xiao Cong warily and said a few words. Just then, she saw the Yamen Runner on patrol and shouted loudly.
The Yamen Runner on patrol had a knife on his body. When he heard the shout, he put his hand on the handle of the knife and quickly ran over. There were two Yamen Runners, each watching one child.
"No, we didn't catch them. We were just asking. We were just casually asking. We even bought things for them. We even took out the money. Look." Da Cong was smart at this time. He took out a small string of money and stuffed it into the little girl's hand with a harmless look.
"Thank you, Uncle Yamen Runner. Brother, let's go home. We won't buy anything first." The little girl held the money and had no intention of returning it. She thanked him and followed her brother to the place behind the stall. Her house was there.
"Let's go. Don't ask blindly in the future." The Yamen Runner looked at Da Cong and Xiao Cong and gave them a warning before letting them go. They didn't believe that there would be people who would cheat children in the night market. In the night market, some of the original wanderers had changed to small businesses. They would naturally help the people in the county. Otherwise, if Young Master Zhou knew that they didn't do anything, he wouldn't let them go.
In the study of the house next to the yamen, a person was holding a pen in his hand and was writing something. Suddenly, light footsteps came to the door.
"Who is there?" The person put down the pen and asked.
"Young Master, Da Cong and I are back." Xiao Cong's voice came.
"Well, come in." The young master made a nasal sound and let them in.
Da Cong and Xiao Cong opened the door and walked in. They stood side by side in front of the young master and lowered their heads without making a sound.
The young master looked at the two of them up and down and said, "Did you lose them?"
"Young Master, you are really good at predicting things." Da Cong flattered.
"Predict what? I know that the two of you are stupid. Three times. Three times. Three times in one day. My face is lost because of you. I did it on purpose. I did it on purpose. I was warning me. I was laughing at me. My subordinates are only so capable and I still dare to send them out. That's what I wanted to say. "
The young master said. He smiled bitterly and said to the two of them, "It's not your fault. I underestimated them. Come and take a look. There are a few pictures. Look at them and you will know how to lose them."
The young master took a few pieces of paper from the desk and threw them in front of the two of them.
"Young Master, you are amazing. You figured out how to hide so quickly." Xiao Cong picked up the paper and flattered him.
"They sent you to the door of the house. Since you are in, don't go out today. Just stay in the house."
"Why? Da Cong and I still need to arrange people. "Xiao Cong picked up the paper and was about to look at it.
"Only entry and not exit. The bailiffs have already surrounded them. The news can't be spread. The people outside don't dare to fight with the bailiffs without orders. Look, I will show you what means." The young master said helplessly.
Da Cong and Xiao Cong understood. They lowered their heads and looked at the pictures on the paper. According to the order, it was a car, a boat, and a night market. The two of them looked at it and their eyes widened.
"Little Cong, aiya, if we had known earlier, we would have hired the remaining two cars. It's interesting that there are people on board. I'll remember it." Da Cong seemed to have learned a lot and said happily.
Xiao Cong nodded. "Yes, it was the same at the night market. They actually put on clothes and found two children of similar age. When they were squeezing, they used those people to protect them to make us believe that it was still the two of them. Young Master, don't worry. The next time they take a car, board a boat, and go to the night market to change people, Da Cong and I will definitely follow them."
"Twenty whips per person. Take it yourself. Next time, next time, they will change. You have become stupid today. Get out." The young master didn't blame the two of them for not being able to follow. The other party's means were too powerful. But now, they were still stupid. He finally couldn't help it.
