In the morning, many people from nearby villages would come to the town for the market, so when Xiao Nuan and the others arrived, there were quite a few people in the town.
After the three of them got out of the car, Xiao Nuan asked them to find a place with a better view to sit down and eat breakfast.
The two brothers and sisters have eaten a lot of good things these days because of Xiao Nuan, and now they are a little embarrassed.
Xiao Nuan ordered three bowls of noodles and a few meat buns. "You have helped us so much, this is to thank you."
After eating enough, Tietou wanted to find work in the town, but Xiao Nuan and Chunlan were not at ease.
"Brother, you haven't worked for a few days, so let's go look for it. I will be fine with Miss Xiao."
After persuading for a while, Tietou left.
In the town, some wealthy people will occasionally hire some people to do odd jobs. Tietou is already used to a job, so every time he comes there will be work.
"Miss Xiao, can we meet while walking on this street?" Those who were looking for someone might have already left. After all, the town is so big that they can be found in a few days.
Xiao Nuan was not sure, but still planned to walk around the street.
When passing a jewelry shop, Chunlan held Xiao Nuan.
"Miss Xiao, you are going to get married after all, or go in and have a look."
She has nothing but the wedding dress now.
Xiao Nuan looked at the jewellery shop that wasn't much of a large scale, and thought of the wedding with Ji Sixuan, and walked in.
The lady proprietor in the jewelry store didn't want to pay attention to the two plainly dressed girls coming in.
However, it was not good to drive people out as soon as the door was opened this morning, so he smiled and asked, "What do the two girls want to buy?"
Xiao Nuan glanced at the hairpin inside, the workmanship was a bit crude, and he could hardly see what he liked, so he didn't respond.
"I, let's take a look..." Chunlan thought that Xiao Nuan had no money to buy it, so he was a little bit mad at herself.
"Do you have any beautiful pearls here?"
This place is not along the coast. People who know pearls are usually young ladies from rich people's homes. The lady boss was a little surprised when Xiao Nuan looked like she did.
"Yes, girl wait a minute, I'll go take it out now."
"Miss Xiao, what is that pearl?"
"You'll know in a while."
The lady boss walked out with a box, and when she opened it, there were only three golden hairpins inside, each of which was inlaid with an oily pearl.
Seeing the color of the pearl, Xiao Nuan felt reluctant, so he let the old bridesmaid wrap it up.
"Hey, what a little girl is really insightful, this pearl is still the best in our town, there were still people two days ago..."
Xiao Nuan didn't pay attention to the babble of the proprietress, but was attracted by the two figures on the street.
The two men dressed in ordinary uniforms, holding a portrait in their hands, asked one by one.
"Little girl?"
"how much is it?"
"A total of twenty taels of silver." The proprietress smiled.
Xiao Nuan walked out with Chunlan after giving the money.
"Miss Xiao, that hairpin is so beautiful..."
"Shh!"
"Let's go and take a look."
Chunlan looked up again, and saw the two men, her hands clenching Xiao Nuan's hands unconsciously.
"Miss Xiao, don't be afraid, I, I will protect you."
Xiao Nuan calmly patted her hand to make her not nervous.
If according to Chunlan, they were only looking for Ji Sixuan, these people should not have her portrait in hand.
"Have you seen this person in the portrait? It's probably this tall, and looks very white."
"No, I haven't seen it."
"We have been looking for this town for two days. If we can't find it anymore today, we will withdraw. The town is just this big. Who doesn't know who?"
A taller man whispered.
The other nodded in agreement.
I can only go and see elsewhere.
Xiao Nuan asked Chunlan to wait in place, deliberately leaning in the direction of the two of them. When the two saw someone coming, they asked again with the portrait.
"Two girls, have you seen the person in the portrait?"
The portrait unfolded before Xiao Nuan.
Xiao Nuan looked down and recognized Ji Sixuan as the person painted on it.
But because it is a portrait, there is still some deviation.
"Is this a criminal? A gangster?"
Hearing Xiao Nuan's question, the two couldn't help but answer.
"Yes, it is a very cruel gangster, so we are looking for someone, have you seen it?"
Xiao Nuan shook his head in confusion. "I haven't seen it, where is there a gangster who looks so good..."
The two of them were a little disappointed, and regardless of Xiao Nuan's muttering, they turned around and asked others.
Xiao Nuan observed the two people in secret, and found that there was nothing left on them that could identify them, so she wrinkled and did not return to Chunlan.
"Miss Xiao, how is it?"
"It's okay, let's go over there."
Xiao Nuan didn't stop until he couldn't see the two people.
"You wait for me here, I'll go shopping first."
She and Ji Sixuan are going to leave sooner or later, so they should prepare first.
"Let me accompany Miss Xiao, I really don't worry about you alone."
Xiao Nuan looked at her and worried about what trouble she would encounter for a while, so she nodded.
"it is good."
At noon, the two had eaten more and bought everything and the iron head was almost off work. The three gathered at the town gate and prepared to return to the village.
"Wait."
As the ox cart was about to leave, a sound rang behind him, and the three people sitting in the ox cart instantly became tense.
Xiao Nuan motioned them not to be afraid with her eyes.
Looking up, it was the two people who asked Xiao Nuan this morning.
Xiao Nuan glanced at them and said, "What's the matter?"
The two men stepped forward and gave Xiao Nuan a faint glance. They had no impression of Xiao Nuan at all.
The two took the portrait and walked to the iron head, looked at him up and down, and said: "You have admitted the wrong person, you can go."
Xiao Nuan didn't speak any more and let people go.
"That person is obviously not looking at it, you still chase after it and ask."
When Xiao Nuan and the others left, one of the two men asked.
The other man shook his head. "It's always a little weird, why don't we follow it in secret..."
The man thought for a moment and nodded.
"I was really scared to death just now."
When they couldn't see the two figures, the three exhaled.
"Don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it won't hurt you."
"I'm not afraid of this..." Tietou didn't know how to explain it. He was actually afraid that those people would find Ji Sixuan, and Xiao Nuan should leave. By then, he really didn't even think about it!
Several people returned to the village and went straight to their homes.
There was no one in the yard. Xiao Nuan thought that Ji Sixuan had just listened to her and stayed in the house honestly, but when he opened the door, there was no one in the house!
