Song Xiangsi looked at the group of beggars, who were sizing her up as well.
The thief who had just disappeared came out of the alley and stood with the group of beggars.
Seeing Song Xiangsi staring at him, he retorted.
The head of the beggars muttered to him when he saw the little thief: "This girl looks better than the other girls."
He revealed an excited smile and said, "This time, we're going to be rich. This girl should be able to sell for a lot of money."
The little thief cautiously said, "This girl is very powerful. She was not easy to deal with after chasing me just now. Let's go together."
Another beggar at the side scoffed with disdain, "How much strength can a woman have? I'll go up later."
The leader of the beggars nodded in agreement.
Song Xiangsi could vaguely guess one thing from their conversation. If she was right, these people were supposed to rob girls and sell them for work.
But the place where a girl was most likely to be sold was a brothel, this group of beasts! Now, it seemed that they wanted to buy her to a brothel or something.
From the time the little thief stole his wallet and lured him into this alley to the moment so many people came out, it was clear that they had set up a trap for him.
From their series of actions, it could be seen that the little thief and the group of beggars were all habitual offenders. From their conversation, it was possible to tell that more than one young girl had been hurt by them.
At this time, the confident beggar from before was impatiently walking towards her step by step. Song Xiangsi's eyes were like torches as she turned around and dodged the man's hand.
Seeing that there was no one in front of her, the man was stunned. He turned around and fiercely swung his sword at her.
Song Xiangsi did not stand on ceremony with him. She directly met him, dodging slightly with a kick to the stomach, sending him flying. The man was on the ground clutching his stomach and screaming.
The other beggars looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect a little girl to be so strong.
"All of you, attack!" As soon as the old beggar said this, a group of beggars surrounded them.
Song Xiangsi's face was filled with killing intent. Without any fear, she kicked the person running towards her and sent him flying three meters away. The others surrounded her in an instant, and with a single kick, Song Xiangsi did a few more things.
"Damn." The beggar swore and ran towards Song Xiangsi.
Song Xiangsi did not even glance at them as she knocked one down with each blow. Her movements were agile and her actions were quick and ruthless. Soon, the crowd was beaten to a pulp by her.
The old beggar saw that things weren't going well, and shouted from the side, "Let's go, let's go!"
The beggars saw that they were at a disadvantage and that they could not deal with Song Xiangsi even if they combined forces. They hurriedly scrambled to escape.
Song Xiangsi had been tricked once before, but he would not fall onto them again. Seeing that the little thief was about to run away like a fish in water, Song Xiangsi quickly grabbed the little thief's collar.
"Run where!" Song Xiangsi shouted.
The little thief was startled. Those beggars had already run away, so no one was willing to bother with him. His entire body trembled as he said, "Sister, no, heroine, please let me go."
Song Xiangsi snorted, "Let you go? Humph! I don't know how many young girls have died in your hands, it's already good enough that I don't kill you. "
The little thief immediately begged for mercy and kowtowed towards Song Xiangsi. "Don't, don't kill me."
Song Xiangsi paused before saying, "I'll give you a chance right now. If you agree, then I won't kill you."
The little thief hurriedly nodded, "I agree, I agree."
Song Xiangsi's icy voice rang out, not allowing even the slightest hint of doubt to be heard, "Who is your boss? Tell me!"
Song Xiangsi knew that capturing him was useless. If she could follow the vines and find the boss behind his back, that would prevent more girls from getting hurt by them.
The little thief rolled his eyes and said, "Our boss is very mysterious. I don't know who he is either."
Song Xiangsi directly gave him a kick, and the little thief painfully cried out, "But, but I can bring you to him."
"Hurry up!" Song Xiangsi pulled him up.
That little thief took Song Xiangsi around the alleyway and almost made her faint.
Song Xiangsi pulled him back and warned him, "I'm warning you, you'd better not play any tricks on me. Otherwise, I'll kill you right now."
The little thief immediately said respectfully, "I'm not playing any tricks, it's just that there are too many twists and turns in this alley. Give me some time and I'll take you out immediately."
After making another turn, that little thief took advantage of Song Xiangsi's inattentiveness and escaped with a handful of ashes, directly throwing them into Song Xiangsi's eyes.
Song Xiangsi was blinded by the grey light, and the little thief took the opportunity to escape. When she regained her senses, the little thief had already run far away.
Song Xiangsi was so angry that it was too late for her to chase him. Song Xiangsi could only rely on her memories as she walked along the road.
When she returned to the house, it was already very late. Song Cheng and Song Xiaoxiao heard the sound and ran out.
"Elder sister."
The two of them shouted excitedly as they ran over to Song Xiangsi. Song Xiangsi squatted down and asked, "En, did you guys behave well today?"
Song Xiaoxiao said in a baby voice, "We are very obedient and did not cause any trouble."
Song Xiangsi patted her head and praised her, "Good girl. Is Meng Ling Xuan back yet?"
Song Cheng said, "No."
He had thought that Meng Ling Xuan had returned a long time ago, but he hadn't expected that he was nowhere to be seen in the room. Meng Ling Xuan hadn't returned yet, and he didn't know if everything was going well for him outside.
Song thought about telling him about her day outside, but she waited a long time for him to come back.
It was getting dark. Song Xiangsi thought that he would not have time to eat even if he stayed out all day, so she stewed some porridge and brought it out for him.
Song Xiangsi laid on the table and waited for a long time. Finally, there was some movement at the door. Song Xiangsi raised his head reflexively and saw Meng Ling Xuan standing at the door.
Clearly, Meng Ling Xuan had also seen her. He was standing there and smiling warmly at Song Xiangsi. He walked over, lifted his robe, and sat down in front of her.
Somehow, when she saw his gaze that was as gentle as water, she suddenly became addicted to it and almost couldn't get out.
Song Xiangsi quickly turned her head away and said, "I'm back."
"Yes." Meng Fanxuan nodded.
Seeing the bowl of porridge on the table, as well as the person waiting for him across from him, Meng Ling Xuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. When he left in the morning, she had said that she didn't care about him.
What a woman.
Meng Ling Xuan looked at the porridge on the table and asked, "You made all these."
"I wanted to eat more porridge, so I made more." Song Xiangsi scooped a bowl for him and placed it in front of him.
Meng Ling Xuan held out his hand to Song Xiangsi and lowered his head to take a big gulp of porridge.
He laughed softly and said, "Smells so good."
Song Xiangsi instantly felt like her face was burning. He couldn't sit, nor could he walk.
