Xi'an has bright seasons, but spring and autumn are relatively short. It often feels that the weather gradually gets warmer after just taking off the cotton coat.

Just now in Mayday, Luyou's clothes were soaked in sweat, and they were tightly pressed against his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

In the past two days, he and Xu An took turns to follow the scene in Nanweifang. The follow-up is never good at Luyou. He is impatient and careless. Just like now, he is hot and sleepy, and he wishes he could break into the Laoji dry goods shop, beat up all the people in the shop, and force them to tell Mei Yatou's whereabouts.

However, even though he was in a hurry, he could only concentrate on staring at the shop and not leave for a moment.

Luyou wiped the sweat beads on his forehead helplessly, and he couldn't figure it out. Are those people on the streets not hot? Why didn't there be a drop of sweat?

Suddenly, Lu You's eyes leaped a lot, and he quickly rubbed his eyes. He read that right, it was really her! The girl named Mei finally appeared!

Mei Shengxue still looks like the little girl who has no head left, exactly the same as she was a few years ago. She has not grown taller or become fat. She is petite and delicate, and she is inconspicuous in the crowd. If she had not walked into Lao Ji, her fellow travelers might have let her slip under her nose.

Luyou really wanted to follow Lao Ji to see what happened, but he didn't know if Mei Shengxue would recognize him.

Although he and Mei Shengxue have only seen each other once in the dilapidated temple, they have seen each other before. Ordinary people may have forgotten that they are as monstrous as Mei Shengxue?

Lu's friend was so anxious that he scratched his head. When he didn't know what to do, he saw Fangfei and his younger sister.

Each of these two little girls held a candy man in their hands. While walking, they stretched out their tongues and licked the candy man, just like two little dogs.

When Luyou saw them, he was stunned at first, and then he realized that the place where Miss Shen went to school was nearby. These two little girls sneaked out to play while Miss Shen was in class, and last time Fangfei saw Mei Shengxue here.

The eyes of the fellow travelers lit up.

"Hurry, you two are here just in time. Do your uncle a favor and go in and see what bad things the girl named Mei is doing."

"Mei Lianxin is inside?" Fangfei immediately felt energetic, but immediately remembered something, like a deflated Pi Juzi. "Mei Lianxin knows me, I can't go in. This matter can only depend on the younger sister, but the younger sister is young, so it's too dangerous to let her go in."

"It's dangerous. Look at the people coming and going in that shop, I don't dare to treat my younger sister if I have the courage!" Lu You was angry. Fangfei's girl did it on purpose.

"Well, Sister Fangfei, I can do it, let me go in." The little sister was eager to try. The three of them were here to repay their kindness. She was the youngest and could not block the knife for Miss Shen, so it was okay to do some small things.

Fangfei patted her and said, "Mei Lianxin is about the same height as her. She looks like she is just seven or eight years old. Be careful, she is cruel."

Luyou added, "Mei Yatou wore a bean-green shirt. The shop owner's surname is Lao, she is in her early forties, and she is thin. The accountant's surname is Cai. She is a skinny old man and a woman who can manage the business. She is in her twenties and calls her Miss Mei. There are six other guys, all wearing blue cloth shirts."

The little girl nodded, held the candy man and trotted into the Laoji dry goods store.

It was the best time of the day. The guys were smiling all over their faces, and they were talking about something around a few people wearing Lu silk robes. These people seemed to be the managers of the purchasing company in the wealthy family.

There is a small counter two feet square in the corner of the shop. There is a chair behind the counter and an apron on the back of the chair. Although it is an apron worn when working, it is exquisitely embroidered. At first glance, it is a woman's thing. I think this chair is often seated by Miss Mei.

The little sister looked around and saw no woman, no girl of about the same age as her, and there was no boss or accountant mentioned by Luyou, but there were only six guys.

There is a door at the east end of the shop, and there is a curtain with a wealth of money hanging outside the door.

The little sister looked at the guys, they were bargaining with those who looked like officials, and they were very busy.

While the guys were not paying attention, the little girl hugged her waist and ran to the front of the curtain, gently lifted up the corner of the curtain and looked inside.

There was actually a yard outside the curtain. There was a huge long table in the yard. There were more than a dozen large baskets on the table, and there were all kinds of dry goods in the baskets.

The little girl was hesitating whether to go into the yard to take a look. Her neck tightened suddenly, and then her feet left the ground.

Someone grabbed her collar from behind and lifted her up.

"Ahhh, help!" the little girl kicked her hands and feet and shouted.

The man scolded, "Where did the little bastard come from? Are you sneaking in and stealing something?"

It turned out that he regarded her as a thief.

This is not the first time that my little sister has been regarded as a thief.

She cried out with a wow, "I'm not a steal, I'm here to find my dad, my dad just came here."

"Your father?" The man behind him obviously also saw that the little sister was dressed neatly and cleanly. She was a serious child. He put her down and asked, "Have your dad been here?"

The little sister turned around, with tears on her face. Only then did she see who was catching her.

This is a tall and burly man with a figure similar to a road friend. He is wearing a silk robe and dressed up like the managers outside, but his shoes are very dirty. Not only are they dirty, but they are also stained with dry yellow mud. Xi'an city is full of stone roads. Obviously, these yellow mud were not stepped on in the city. He should have come from the city and walked many roads.

The little sister sobbed, "I followed my father to buy pepper and star anise. I saw my father enter this shop, but after I bought the candy man, my father was no longer in the shop."

The man understood that the child's father should have been purchased by a wealthy family. He brought the child out to purchase goods and got separated from the child in a blink of an eye.

He pointed to the managers who were bargaining with the guys and said, "The people who come to buy goods are in the front shop, and the yard behind is our warehouse. No one will go to the back. Since your father is not in the shop, he is going to another house. You can look for it elsewhere."

The little sister was still holding a candy man in her hand. She wiped her tears and was about to walk out when she suddenly heard a voice from behind, "Whose little girl is this? Why are you crying?"

The sound came from the yard, crisp and sweet, and she was a woman.

The little girl cried loudly just now, and I think she was heard by this woman.

The little girl turned her head and saw a woman walking over. The woman was wearing a date red biscuit, a white silk shirt, a single snail bun, and a crepe silk flower the size of a wine cup.

Next to her was a seven or eight-year-old girl. The girl was wearing a bean green shirt and had a tender face, but her eyes had the sharpness that she should not be at this age. She was looking up and down at the little girl who looked about her age with the candy man in front of her.
