Chapter 171: Chunlu, help me buy a sugar gourd (2/2)

King said that he deliberately said that he had already made her angry.

He also said that if Jiang Tiancai was not honest, it would not be as simple as a fight.

Meng Li took advantage of the situation and inquired about the inn where Tiancai stayed.

After two days, Meng Li took Chunlu out shopping.

Meng Li went out wearing a drapery hat, covering his face.

Strolling around with Chunlu East and west, as if unintentionally, they arrived outside the inn where Jiang Tiancai stayed.

Jiang Tiancai should have a lot of money with him. The inn where he lives is in a prosperous area. Meng Li watched a man holding a target full of red sugar gourds.

Yelling loudly while walking:

Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, sweet and sour sugar gourd

Meng Li said to Chunlu:

Chunlu, help me buy a sugar gourd.

Chunlu answered yes, and said to Meng Li:

Then the lady will stand here, and the slave will go back as soon as she goes.

Meng Li nodded, and Chunlu left directly.

Meng Li looked at Chunlus back and disappeared into the crowd in a few clicks.

Meng Li wandered around the street for a while, looked for it, and found a fairly clean-dressed boy. This boy should be the child of a small vendor nearby.

At this time, he was playing in an alley with a group of children.

Meng Li observed for a while and felt that this boy was the smartest.

Meng Li beckoned to the boy. The boy stopped fighting. He was not afraid of life at all. He trotted towards Meng Li with a smile and shouted crisply.

Sister, can I help you?

Meng Li looked at the boy, he was about six or seven years old.

She said

My sister asked you to send me a letter, can you send it for my sister?

The boy tilted his head and stared at Meng Lis drapery hat, trying to see Meng Lis face clearly. From the sound of her voice, she must be a gentle sister.

He was curious about Meng Lis appearance.

But the boy couldnt see clearly, vaguely, and asked Meng Li rhetorically:

Is it far away, sister?

Meng Li shook her head, pointed the boy in a direction, and said, Not far.

After Meng Li told the boy the address, she took out a letter and an ingot of broken silver. The boy looked at Meng Lis tender white hand and looked at his little dirty hand again. He was a little embarrassed to take it from Meng Lis hand and held it together with both hands and Faced Meng Li.

Meng Li put the letter and the broken silver in the palm of the boys hand.

The boy held the letter in one hand, and he even weighed the silver modestly in the other.

He was surprised to say:

A lot, did you give it to me? Sister, you are so generous.

Meng Li smiled, she is really a clever ghost who can talk.

She said

Yes, it is.

The boy was very happy when he heard Meng Li say that she would give it to him. Although he didnt know how much silver it was and how many things he could buy, his father seemed to be very happy when he saw it.

Happier than seeing him.

The boy said:

Thank you sister, dont worry, I know all the places you said. I play in this area all day long, and my home is nearby.

Meng Li nodded and taught the boy:

Just knock on the door first, put the letter directly at the door, and then run away quickly, dont let the people inside see you, you know?

The boy held his chest up and said:

Dont worry, I know, I didnt let them catch me stealing my mothers food at home.

Meng Li couldnt help laughing:

okay then.

The boy finally said: Then let me tell my partners that I cant play with them in advance.

Meng Li smiled and nodded.
