"Hero, who are you looking for?"

In the blink of an eye, Li Mu is already eight years old, and he is riding his newly bought ox to play the flute for his friends at the entrance of the village.

Then he saw a young man holding a sword and riding a red horse coming to the entrance of the village. Li Mu rode a bull and rushed to the side and asked.

"Oh, little boy, which landlord's family are you from?"

The young man looked at Li Mu in front of him. Although he was only eight years old and still riding an ox, there were no patches on his clothes.

The shoes were also brand new cloth shoes, the hair and face were clean and there was a little baby fat, so I thought he must be the child of the landlord of this village.

Li Mu looked back and saw that his friends, aged five to ten, were all listening to him play the flute under the big locust tree, but they were all covered in patches and had straw sandals on their feet.

There were even one or two who rented the Li family's fields to have land, so that their children could wear pants and dare to go out to play. Otherwise, they could only stay at home.

"Hey, why am I so out of place?"

Li Mu sighed inwardly. But instead of answering the young man's words, he raised his head and spoke.

"I asked you first, you should answer me first."

Li Mu turned back to the young man and said with a grin.

"Oh, it was me who was rude, I asked~ Well, forget it, you don't know him either."

The young man was about to say something, but suddenly stopped. He wanted to say the adult's name, but the child might not know it. Anyway, he knew the way.

He simply ignored him and continued riding on his horse alone.

"Uncle, whose house are you going to? I am the know-it-all in our village. Tell me and I will know."

Li Mu finally met a "warrior" other than the village chief's son, so he naturally refused to let him go and quickly followed him.

Although the other children also wanted to follow, they decided not to put any effort into chasing after one person was riding a horse and walking quickly, while another person was jogging on a bull. They had some food left.

"You are a very brave little boy. Aren't you afraid that I am a strong man?"

The young man said in surprise when he saw Li Mu chasing after him.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, you are so handsome, how can you be a villain?"

In fact, the young man is not very handsome, he is just tall and handsome, and Li Mu is just sweet-tongued.

"Hahaha, little boy, let me ask you, where is Li Dazhuang's family?"

When the young man heard Li Mu's praise, he was very happy and asked.

"What are you doing with Li Dazhuang?"

Li Mu suddenly felt something in his heart. Didn't all the remaining money at home be deposited in a bank account? Why are there still people asking?

"Of course he's seeking revenge."

The young man's heart moved and he said without looking back.

"Oh, seeking revenge. Li Dazhuang's family has moved a long time ago. I guess they moved because they knew enemies were coming."

Li Mu held back his beating heart and said casually.

"Oh, they moved? Hey, where did they move to?"

The young man suddenly felt a little disappointed after hearing Li Mu's words.

"I don't know. I heard that I went to the county town, so I don't know anything else."

"Okay, see you then, little boy."

Li Mu finally felt relieved when he saw the young man slowly turning around and leaving.

"Damn it, it's fucked. It must be my dad who exposed himself in the county town and was targeted."

Li Mu looked back and saw that the young man had disappeared with his horse and whip, so he hurriedly rode the bull back home.

"Grandpa, grandma~"

After a while of shouting, Li Mu finally entered the gate.

"What's wrong, Tiedan?"

Li Youliang, who was lying on the rocking chair and looking at the ledger of the rented fields, asked quickly when he saw Li Mu running home.

"Grandpa, where are my parents?"

"It's in the backyard."

"Father~"

……

After a while, the family members were finally called together, and Li Mu quickly told what happened today.

"Ah, I didn't reveal it. I hid the banknote in my sock and was scolded by the shopkeeper."

Li Dazhuang was panicked. He didn't want to be remembered, so he quickly explained.

"No matter, just pack it up and hide it quickly."

"Where are you hiding?"

"Ancestral graves."

Everyone in the Li family who was in a mess suddenly woke up when they heard Li Mu's words.

"Yes, we built a small temple at our ancestor's grave last year, so we went to hide there. Hey."

Li Youliang suddenly slapped his thigh and was very happy for his decision last year.

Three-quarters of an hour later, everyone in the Li family hid in the small temple. The temple was twenty square meters, and the Li family didn't crowd together. Anyway, they didn't have anything valuable. The valuable things were either houses or fields, and the thieves also brought them. If you don't leave, and most of the banknotes have the ticket number, it's even safer.

The only scalper worth stealing was still chewing grass in front of the temple.

At this time, the autumn air was crisp and the night was still a bit cold. Li Youliang took the ox to the temple for fear that it would get sick. The ox cost fifteen taels of silver to buy, so gold was precious.

It was also thanks to the fact that the temple had not yet erected a statue of a god that the Li family could add an ox to the temple so that it would not be too crowded.

"Tiedan, it's dawn."

"Oh, just squint for another half-quarter of an hour."

"..."

"There is food~"

"Dazhuang~"

"Iron egg~"

……

"Grandpa, are they the voices of the village chief and his son?"

"It seems so. It seems that the village chief saw that our family was gone and came out to look for us."

"That's how it should be. Their voices were loud and they didn't feel coerced at all."

"Let's go then. Go home."

Li Mu and his family judged the village chief's purpose sentence by sentence, and finally agreed that it was safe and planned to go home.

"Grandpa, village chief, I'm here."

"Hey, why are you running here?"

Hearing the sound, the village chief and his son rushed to the small temple and saw that everyone in the Li family was very puzzled.

"Da da da~"

There was a sound of horses and whips coming quickly.

"No, grandpa, the thief is here."

When Li Mu saw that the young man galloping over on horseback was the young man from yesterday, his expression changed and he quickly picked up Li Youliang and others to escape.

"Little boy, it was so hard for you to lie to me."

The young man had already arrived, and when he saw Li Mu preparing to help Li Youliang and Zhang Caiyun onto the ox, he became furious.

Yesterday, he originally left after listening to Li Mu's words, but when he went to the town, his companions heard what happened to him and told him.

"You just listen to a child's words? Nowadays, children lie without batting an eye."

Only then did he realize that he shouldn't be so arbitrary, so he returned to Xiaohe Village and confirmed at the village chief's house that he had been deceived.

He was too embarrassed to tell the village chief that he had been deceived. After all, he had been in the world for more than ten years, and the less people knew about being deceived by a child, the better.

As a result, he and the village chief went to Li's house and saw that no one was there. Just like that, he and the village chief's son walked around the village and found no one.

He had no choice but to stay one night at the village chief's house and start looking for the Li family again before dawn.

As soon as he heard the village chief's answer, he came over immediately. When he saw Li Mu, he became so angry that he wanted to hit him.

If the other party wasn't just a child, he would be able to put down his airs as a knight now and leave an unforgettable lesson to the other party.

But the young man's eyes suddenly twitched involuntarily.

"thump."

"Father, mother. The child is unfilial and makes you worry."

Looking at the young man kneeling in front of him, Li Mu was a little confused. Just now he had helped his grandparents onto the scalper very neatly.

I thought of all the possibilities.

As a result, this guy knelt down as soon as they met, which was really unexpected.

Li Mu now has some guesses, but he is not sure. He can only wait for the situation to develop further before judging his guess.
