Before the sky fully dawned, Ji Lianhuo had already picked up Ji Dabao on his back, and pushed the cart out the door.

Selling persimmons is more profitable than selling oranges and apples. Ji Lianhuo made serious calculations, wholesaled two boxes of persimmons over budget, and moved them to the cart.

There was no money left to batch apples and oranges, but fortunately there were still a lot left yesterday. Ji Lianhuo pushed the cart to the place where he set up his stall. After setting up the fruits, Ji Dabao also woke up.

"Oh, uh." Ji Dabao patted his uncle on the shoulder, indicating that it's time for breastfeeding.

Ji Lianhuo leaned down, reached into the orange basket with one hand, and accidentally touched something hard. When he took it out, it turned out to be a piece of red brick used for building walls.

Ji Dabao lay on Ji Lianhuo's shoulders, one big and one small looked at Brick in front of them, and they all froze for a moment.

what happened?

Ji Lianhuo hurriedly lowered his body and continued to search in the orange basket. The bricks one after another revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain. Ji Lianhuo took out all the bricks in the orange basket and immediately found that the oranges in the basket were a lot shallower.

Ji Lianhuo stood where he was, suddenly remembered something, and reached out to touch the bag of diapers under the scooter.

Ji Dabao stared blankly at his uncle, and took out a piece of styrofoam wrapped in a black plastic bag from under the cart, his little head was buzzing.

Ji Lianhuo's face turned pale, and he threw the styrofoam aside, took out all the apples in the apple box, opened the compartment, and saw the empty baby bottle lying quietly inside.

Only the feeding bottle was not found.

But what can an empty bottle do?

Ji Dabao can guess who the thief is with his toes, but this gambler even stole the child's milk powder and diapers!

Ji Dabao looked at his uncle full of anger, and saw that the young man's jawline was tense, and his dark eyes were full of cruelty that he had never seen before.

"Xiao Ji, are you out of the stall?" Uncle Yu came over without knowing it, and before he got close to the two of them, he saw the child on the young man's back, streaming gold beans sadly.

"What's wrong with Dabao?" Uncle Yu was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Ji Lianhuo's expression was extremely calm, and his dark eyes were cold and silent, which made people shudder.

"Uncle Yu, help me take care of the stall and Dabao." Ji Lianhuo unfastened his straps, and Uncle Yu waved his hands repeatedly when he saw this.

"You child, tell me what happened. It's okay if you ask me to help you look after the stall, but Dabao has been following you, and I can't take care of it."

Ji Lianhuo's eyes were fixed, and he turned his head to look at the child behind him. Ji Dabao was holding the thin fabric tightly with one hand, with tears in his eyes.

Ji Lianhuo lowered his eyes, tightly tied the cloth straps on his body, picked up the bricks dug out from the orange basket, and left without saying a word, with a very clear goal.

"Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji!" Uncle Yu was full of worry and didn't know what happened, so he could only look at the boy's back and shout.

"Don't do stupid things! Think about Dabao!"

In the crowded mahjong parlor, a young boy with a child on his back suddenly came in. Looking at the tables, he seemed to be looking for someone. Seeing this, the shop owner immediately shouted, "Who are you looking for?"

"Li Daquan." The boy approached the shop owner with a silent expression, "Where are the others?"

The owner frowned, looking at the boy's shabby single clothes, just about to say a few words to dismiss him, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the bricks tightly held by the boy.

"What about him, man?"

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, Ji Lianhuo spoke again, raising his voice, slamming each word, the original clean voice seemed to be gritted teeth, forced to press a little low.

"He, he's not here..." Looking at the young man in front of him, the shop owner couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. There are many people looking for someone here, but like the young man, his eyes are cold and full of murderous intent, as if he wants to go to bed. It was the first one who split the man in the middle when they met.

"He just left in the middle of the night last night, and he seems to be heading that way." The shopkeeper hurriedly opened the door, eager to tell what he knew, for fear that if he was slower, his shop would suffer disaster.

The young man cast a heavy glance at the shopkeeper, then strode out of the shop holding the bricks, and left in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper.

As if in the wilderness at night, being watched by wolves, the shopkeeper couldn't help rubbing his goosebumps on his arms, and quickly closed the shop door.

The direction the shopkeeper pointed was the direction to go home from here. Ji Dabao leaned on Ji Lianhuo's shoulder, watching his uncle push open the courtyard door, and then slammed open the door of the room next door to the debris room.

This room is better than the utility room, but it is also barren, with only an earthen kang and an iron stove that cannot be moved.

The old man was wrapped in a quilt, sitting at the end of the kang, and saw Ji Lianhuo coming in, with a wrinkled smile, because he had lost a lot of teeth, and it was a bit leaky when he spoke.

"Lianhuo, didn't you go to sell fruit today?"

"Grandpa." With a cold face, Ji Lianhuo glanced across the room, "Where is Li Daquan?"

"I went out early in the morning." Grandpa moved his body and patted the place beside him, "Lian Huo, sit here and let me see Dabao."

Ji Lianhuo stepped forward holding the brick, put the brick firmly on the kang, untied the straps on his body, and handed the child to the old man.

Ji Dabao stared at his great-grandfather silently. If he remembered correctly, the old man had not survived this winter. After his death, life for himself and his uncle would be even more difficult.

"Does Dabao remember me?" The old man hugged the limp child, his old face was full of smiles, "I am your great-grandfather, who used to hug you often."

With Ji Dabao's cooperating "Yi Ya" twice, the old man became more and more happy when he saw it, and his full of love turned into a smile on his face, until there was a "bang" from the courtyard door, and the old man's smile disappeared instantly.

Ji Lianhuo's face was cold and hard, he picked up a brick and stood firmly in front of the door.

"Come in quickly, I bought roast duck and wine today." Li Daquan's rough laughter filled the entire courtyard, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that that disaster star has such a skill, I..."

Li Daquan turned his head and was talking to his companions, he pushed open the door with one hand, and a brick hit his head hard, the brick shattered in response, and a stream of blood flowed from Li Daquan's hair.

Li Daquan took two steps back after being hit, and stood there for a moment, subconsciously felt the blood on his temples, rolled his eyes, and fell straight down.

The gambler standing beside Li Daquan's scalp felt numb and his hair stood on end. He turned his head slowly and saw the young man standing at the door.

Like a god of evil, his whole body is full of restrained power, his eyes are dark and dark, and he has no emotion at all.

The boy turned his eyes and looked at the man brought by Li Daquan.

Meeting the young man's eyes, the gambler shivered, shook his head again and again, turned around and ran away, "It's none of my business, I don't know anything!"

Regardless of the fleeing man, Ji Lianhuo dragged Li Daquan into the room without changing his face, and closed the door.

Ji Dabao tried his best to turn his head, wanting to see the situation next to him, but the old man covered the child's eyes with one hand, and turned his head away himself.

Ji Lianhuo found some hemp rope from the utility room, and as soon as he tied Li Daquan, Li Daquan woke up, saw the scene in front of him, and started yelling without saying a word.

"The catastrophe has killed people! Help!"

Ji Lianhuo took what Li Daquan had bought in one hand, picked up the Erguotou wine bottle, knocked it on the iron stove, removed the bottle cap neatly, and poured a few gulps into his mouth with his head raised.

Li Daquan screamed like he was killing a pig. The neighbors heard the sound and went out one after another to watch the excitement in front of the courtyard.

"Come here! The catastrophe has killed people!" Li Daquan shouted with all his strength, and several neighbors in front of the yard were squeezed into the yard to peek at the situation in the house.

"Where did you put Dabao's milk powder and diapers?" Ji Lianhuo held the wine bottle, slowly raised his hand, blocked the mouth of the bottle with his thumb, and aimed at Li Daquan's wound.

"It's in broad daylight, how can you wrong people!" Li Daquan struggled hard, his eyes flicked, "I can't understand what you say!"

With a movement of Ji Lianhuo's thumb, liquor flowed out and poured on Li Daquan's wound. Li Daquan screamed in pain and trembled all over.

"I'll ask again, where's the thing?" Ji Lianhuo's eyes were dark, with a look of ferocity that should not be the look a teenager should have at all.

"Wrong man!" Li Daquan wailed in pain, "Neighbors, look, I kindly took in this disaster star, but he even wronged me for taking his things. He is simply a white-eyed wolf, a complete disaster!"

Ji Dabao heard Li Daquan complained first, rolled his eyes round and round, and began to cry in a childish voice.

Isn't it better than crying?

Who doesn't seem like it.

There was a mixed sound from one large and one small in the room, and there was a burst of pushing and shoving in the courtyard, pushing the door open from the people in front, and the situation inside the door was immediately clear.

The young man was holding a wine bottle and standing in front of the strong man who was tied into a maggot, while the old man was holding the crying child and sitting on the kang, helpless.

"Everyone judge me!" Li Daquan was crying, looking like a good man who has been wronged, "This evil star wronged me, saying that I stole the baby's milk powder and diapers, and now he is tied up and beaten!"

The neighbors looked at the boy one after another, their eyes changing again and again.

"Li Dabao stole the baby's milk powder and diapers last night, and replaced them with bricks and plastic foam." Ji Lianhuo raised his eyes and looked at the neighbors, his eyes were low, "Dabao is crying from hunger now, none of you Do you hear me?"

The neighbors at the door looked at the child in the old man's arms, Ji Dabao took the opportunity to cry with all his strength, it was sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who heard it.

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Daquan stared. "You said I took your things. Where are the evidence and witnesses? Do you have any?"

Everyone looked at Ji Lianhuo again.

Ji Lianhuo's lips moved, thinking of the man who had just escaped, he fell silent for a while, the neighbors at the door watched the young man talking, at this moment, an old voice sounded in the room.

"I saw it."

Ji Lianhuo raised his head, looked at his grandfather on the kang, and slowly stretched out his hand, pointing at his son.

The old man looked sad, his fingers trembling slightly, "Last night Daquan came in with a big bag, I asked him what it was, but he didn't say anything.

When he left this morning, I saw him put milk powder cans in the urea bag. I thought he was selling waste products, empty cans. Unexpectedly, he was selling rations for children. "

With the testimony of a witness, or his own father's testimony, the neighbors were immediately filled with righteous indignation, looking at Li Daquan, they all cursed that he deserved it.

"Call the police and let the police catch him!"

"Look at the poor child, this is really a beast!"

"Before Li Daquan stole my chicken, I knew he was not a good guy!"

Amidst the scolding from the neighbors, Li Daquan stared at his own father, furious at being exposed, "You old man! Have you had enough of your life!"

Seeing this, Ji Dabao cried more and more pitifully, and the neighbors scolded him more and more vigorously, and even sent Li Daquan to the police station. Before Ji Dabao could feel complacent for two seconds, he felt that his eyes began to turn black and his head became dizzy.

I haven't eaten a bite since last night, and cried so hard, the child's body is naturally unable to support it.

The old man was holding the child, and found that there was a sudden silence in his arms. Looking down, he saw that Dabao's lips were purple, his small body was twitching, and he was completely unconscious.

Mr. Xiaoba (falling): To drink milk powder, is it easy for me!
