Chapter 43 Gyro Cottage

The three brothers of the Lin family were immersed in the joy of second place and had no idea what was happening at the inn.

When they returned to the inn and wanted to take A Li to celebrate, they were told by Luo Yun that A Li was missing.

Several people felt like the sky was falling and ran upstairs to look for it like crazy.

Not finding Ah Li, he hurried downstairs again.

The three brothers planned to look outside.

Luo Yun stopped Lin Darong, "This Yongning Mansion is too big. Why don't you go find the prefect? ​​He should be able to help."

"Yes, brother, do you remember what happened at the noodle stall on the way here? I think it was probably them." Lin Sanrong thought about it calmly and said.

"It's really possible. Well, I'll go find the prefect. You guys can search everywhere first. We'll meet up at the inn in an hour."

Luo Yun also found someone to follow them and prepared to go out to search together.

Suddenly, Lin Errong thought about why the Lu family's coachman was missing.

"Sister Yun, did you see the coachman who was with us again?"

Luo Yun quickly replied: "He immediately went out to look for A Li when he knew he was missing, and he hasn't come back yet."

Now the three brothers of the Lin family can only place their hopes on the prefect and the Lu family's coachman.

Soon, several people started to act separately.

After Lin Darong went to the gate of the prefecture and explained his purpose to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper immediately went in and informed the prefecture.

I happened to meet Mr. Deng who was out for a walk on the road. When he heard that A Li was missing, he became extremely anxious.

"Go tell Qi Rui quickly and I'll go take a look outside the door."

Mr. Deng walked to the door and saw Lin Darong pacing back and forth anxiously. He quickly went up and asked, "Darong, is girl Ah Li really missing?"

Lin Darong turned around and walked over immediately, "Old man, yes, we went to see the list in the morning, and Lili disappeared when we came back."

"Don't worry, we will definitely help you find her. Ah Li is my savior."

"Thank you, old man!"

Lin Darong almost knelt down in front of him. They were unfamiliar with the place and had no clue about finding anyone.

Soon the prefect Deng Qirui asked them to go to the living room. He wanted to understand what happened before he could make a plan to find it.

When Lin Darong told him about the noodle stall encountering bandits who robbed children.

Deng Qirui's expression changed, he looked at Lin Darong and said, "Have you met those people too?"

"Yes, sir, because our coachman had some martial arts skills, he beat them away, and we were able to reach Yongning Mansion safely."

"Recently, there have been several reports of missing children coming to the Yamen. It seems that little girl A Li is afraid that they are responsible. Now that we know that she is a bandit from Top Mountain, we have a clue."

Then he ordered the policemen in the yamen to go to a group of people to inquire about the news.

Lin Darong strongly requested to go with the police.

Originally, Deng Qirui and Mr. Deng were afraid that he would be in danger due to lack of time, so they persuaded him to wait until they got the information before going.

But how could he wait here any longer? He wished he could fly to Top Mountain immediately to see if A Li was there.

Unable to defeat him, Deng Qirui let him go with him.

He sent someone to wait at Tongfu Inn and told Lin Errong and Lin Sanrong that their eldest brother had gone to Top Mountain.

They were extremely anxious, while Ah Li was munching on the chicken leg leisurely.

Yongning Fucheng is a day's journey from Top Mountain, not to mention that the mountain is high and the road is steep, so it takes a long time to climb the mountain.

After those people caught Ah Li, they didn't stop until it was almost dark.

Ah Li had woken up a long time ago. She wanted to see what these people wanted to do, so she didn't say anything. She didn't need to walk anyway. If someone carried her, let him carry her.

They were exhausted after walking for a day, so they stopped to rest and took the roast chicken that came with them to eat.

Ah Li opened his eyes and looked at the man holding the roasted chicken with bright eyes.

When the man saw Ah Li staring at him, he was about to carry it on his back to eat.

Ah Li suddenly cried "Wow".

The sound was so loud that the whole mountain could hear it.

The bandits were afraid that someone would be chasing her, so they quickly said to her: "Stop crying. If you cry again, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."

"I'm hungry, and I'll cry if you don't give me chicken legs to eat."

Seeing that she opened her mouth wide and started howling again, the man holding the roast chicken pulled out a chicken leg and handed it to her, "Eat it, eat it. If you weren't of great use, I wouldn't bother to spoil you."

Ah Li pouted and said, "Then you have to untie my hands before I can eat!"

The man untied A Li's hand in a good-tempered manner, "Little girl, don't play tricks. I've heard that you are extraordinary. We have made a lot of preparations."

"What do you mean by playing tricks? I don't know how to play tricks. I can only eat chicken legs."

Ah Li took the chicken legs and ate them with gusto, waiting to do anything until he was full.

After eating the chicken legs, it was getting dark, and the bandits continued on their way.

Ah Li ate and drank enough, then lay on the bandit's back and fell asleep.

Several people couldn't help but complain.

"This girl is so big-hearted. She's not afraid of us, but she dares to ask for food from us without telling her."

"Didn't my brother say that he tried to catch her before but failed to catch her? This girl is very evil. It seems that this is really what happened."

"Pull her down! How powerful can a three- or four-year-old girl be? I could knock her away with just one fist. They must have failed to complete their task and are deliberately making excuses."

"I think so too. Otherwise, if we could bring her back so easily, it would probably be just nonsense from those people."

A Li didn't really fall asleep while lying on the bandit's back. She secretly took out candy bars from her bag and threw them away.

Top Mountain lives up to its name. The mountain roads go around the mountain all the way to the top.

The terrain at the top of the mountain is relatively steep. Heifeng Village is built into a mountain stronghold with stones. The hiding spot is very hidden and the terrain is relatively dangerous.

Due to the terrain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the village, the people patrolling on the tower immediately shouted to each other.

"It's going to rain. Mom wants to get married."

The person carrying Ah Li quickly answered.

"Why not?"

Soon the gate of the cottage opened.

The group of people entered the stronghold.

Many people greeted them, "Hey, Yanpao, you can do it, the goods are here again! You have received a lot of rewards recently!"

"Okay, okay, let's go find the boss first and have a drink together later!"

"Okay, then I want to drink more. You guys go quickly. It just so happens that the boss hasn't rested yet."

The man carrying Ah Li is called Yan San. He is one of the best in this bandit den. He is good at poisoning and martial arts, and can make intoxicating drugs that most people cannot withstand.

So they successfully captured many children and came to the mountain. Their boss promised that they would get fifty taels of silver for each child captured, and twenty taels for good-looking children.

So the people in the cottage have been committing crimes everywhere like crazy dogs recently.
