Qinglong mountain is a long time away from Yuzhou City. Before, Li Chanjuan was not willing to spend money on a car, but now she has enough money to spend.
When she came to Yuzhou City, Li Chanjuan first went to the clothing shop to buy two clothes, and then took her daughter to the busy market.
Li Chanjuan wants to buy some chicken, duck and fish when she sees them. But she can't. She's endured it for so long. Why don't she go to Qinglong mountain and most of the people go back to the border town, so that no one will come to borrow money from them. Now everyone's life is hard. When she suddenly sees one who is doing well, she must be envious.
Li Chanjuan walked around and didn't buy anything. She just watched the excitement.
However, when Tao Xin passed by a small jewelry stall, he saw a hairpin flower on the stall. The petals of the hairpin flower were pink and white. It looked very lovely.
The Zan flower made of this kind of cloth is not as expensive as those made of gold, silver and jade, but it is not cheap.
"How much is it?" Li Chanjuan asked.
"Thirty Wen." The vendor laughed.
"So expensive?"
"How expensive is that? The hairpin flowers I sell here are all thirty Wen. They are the most beautiful in Yuzhou City. They have been worn for five years
"Make it cheaper. Is it fifteen Wen?" Li Chanjuan bargained.
"That's not good." The peddler way, "elder sister you this price also cut too ruthlessly, directly gave me half cut, not."
Tao Xin felt the hairpin flower and couldn't put it down. But seeing the pain on her mother's face, she reluctantly put it back.
Li Chan Juan has just bought two clothes for her son, and originally she had plans to buy something for her daughter.
It's a woman's nature to dress up. Li Chanjuan also likes her daughter to dress up better. Maybe marriage will come faster.
She said to the vendor, "how much cheaper can you get? If not, we'll look elsewhere."
The vendor said, "well, it's a buy it now. I'll give you three Wen cheaper."
Li Chanjuan: "five Wen!"
The vendor was stunned and helpless: "ah, go ahead."
After the natural disaster, Tao Xin had never worn such expensive and beautiful jewelry. She carved a wooden hairpin on her head at will.
Li Chanjuan paid to help her daughter put on the hairpin.
"Is it good?" Tao Xin shook his head from side to side.
"Well, it looks good." Li Chanjuan nodded with a smile.
Mother and daughter are happy, but not far away a pair of sharp eyes are staring at them.
After walking a few streets in the city, Li Chanjuan was a little tired. She took her daughter to find an open-air teahouse to have a rest.
"Come on, let's go back and hang out next time." After a short rest, Li Chan Juan said, "when the people in Qinglong mountain are almost gone, my mother will take you to that restaurant to have a good meal."
Tao Xin's eyes brightened: "it's better to go to the general's wife's noodle shop."
Li Chanjuan said: "if you don't tell me, I almost forgot. It seems that my name is Huiji noodle shop just doesn't know where it's open. Let's go and look for it next time. "
The man who came to add tea said, "Huiji flour noodle shop is in the next street. Just go through this alley."
The man pointed out the way with a smile and went to work on his own.
Tao Xin asked, "mother, shall we go and have a look?"
Li Chanjuan thought about it. Since she came here and didn't take a look, she always felt some regret when she went back, "let's go, take a look and we'll go back."
Li Chanjuan takes Tao Xin into the alley. It's hard to walk in the winding alley. Li Chanjuan asks Tao Xin to pay attention to the road, but she is suddenly pushed from behind.
Li Chanjuan suddenly fell to the ground, and there was a sharp pain in her palm and knee. When she looked back, she saw a masked man slapping Tao Xin unconscious, and then carrying Tao Xin to her shoulder.
"You..." Li Chanjuan was terrified, "what do you want to do?"
The masked man said in a gruff voice: "tomorrow morning, I'll take ten Liang silver to the broken temple outside the city to exchange your daughter. If you dare to report to the official, I'll kill her!"
After the masked man said that, he jumped off the wall and ran away, leaving Li Chanjuan in the same place. She was shocked for a long time before she came back to herself, and then the whole person was flustered.
Li Chanjuan rushed back to Qinglong mountain in a hurry. As soon as she entered the cave, she saw that Tao had turned the house upside down and scolded him.
"Lao Tao! Xin'er has been kidnapped Li Chanjuan held her breath and burst into tears.
"What?" Lao Tao nearly fainted in the dark and asked, "who is it?"
"A masked man asked us to take ten Liang silver to the broken temple outside the city for our daughter. If he dared to report to the official, he would kill Xin'er."
Li Chanjuan collapsed and said, "we don't have ten taels of silver!"
Lao Tao was so angry that he stamped his foot: "don't say ten Liang silver. We don't even have a cent now. Do you know that our family has been robbed?"
Li Chanjuan was shocked: "what?"Lao Tao: "not only the grain is gone, but also the silver hidden under the bricks at the corner of the Kang."
Li Chanjuan: "how can this happen? Aren't you at home?"
Lao Tao: "Lao Dian came over and asked me to help him move things. I went out of the door and came back to find that the door lock had been pried open..."
Li Chanjuan was greatly hit, but she was still steady and said: "if you steal something, you steal it. The most urgent thing is to clean it and save Xin'er back!"
The husband and wife looked at each other, and immediately found that each other and himself wanted to go together.
"Wait!" Li Chan Juan held her husband, "the other side said that we are not allowed to report to the official. Do you think it's time to ask your wife to report to the official?"
The general's wife is better than the official in the Yamen.
Old Tao frowned: "how do they know if we report to the government?"
Li Chan Juan is so disoriented: "I'm afraid of a just in case!"
Lao Tao: "the other party is for money. They won't be reconciled if they don't get the money. We have to go to his wife for help as soon as possible. I'm afraid there will be a contingency if we're late!"
In the cave.
Xu Qingleng is knelt down by Li Chanjuan and Lao Tao, and even has no chance to stop him.
Li Chanjuan begged: "madam, Xin'er has been kidnapped. Please help her!"
Xu Qing's face changed slightly: "what?"
She looked at Xiao Liu, who immediately said to Li Chanjuan with a dignified look, "don't worry. Tell me the situation at that time in detail. What are the characteristics of the person who kidnapped Tao Xin? Think about it carefully."
Li Chanjuan nodded: "of course, we went to an open-air teahouse to have a rest for a while..."
After describing the situation in detail, Xiao Liu said: "since the other party is seeking money, Tao Xin has no worries about his life for the time being. I will send someone to check it now."
Xu nodded his promise, comforted Li Chanjuan and said, "don't worry. Xiao Liu is very good. There are also our people in Yuzhou City. They will find the pottery core soon."
