Chapter 143 Stealing Things

Dong Qian nodded and looked at the horizon. At this time, someone had already come out to set up a stall.

What she was thinking about while sitting in the carriage was Qin Han's physical condition. Not long after, the two of them arrived at Weizhou City.

This city of Weizhou is indeed the city closest to the capital. Although it is just dawn, the streets are already crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining are mixed together.

"Junior sister, I don't know where she lives now. Let's find an inn to rest first. After I find her, we can go see her again."

The preface did not specify when he would find it, but Dong Qian knew that he did not want to delay it, so she found an inn in Xuzhou City.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea and two drawers of steamed buns." After saying this, he put down a dozen coins on the table.

The waiter bent over and smiled at the two people who had just sat down.

"The two guests are from out of town. The prices in our city are higher than ordinary ones. The ones you just mentioned are 25 cents in total."

Dong Qian was stunned for a moment.

"What kind of meat are your steamed buns made of? Are you willing to sell them for 25 cents?"

Even if the price is high, it cannot be so outrageous.

The smile on the waiter's face instantly disappeared.

"Sir, if you can't afford it, go over there. Our house is already cheap enough. If you don't believe me, go and inquire elsewhere."

After traveling all night, Xu became impatient when he heard these noisy voices and directly threw him two taels of silver.

"Is it enough to prepare two more rooms?"

"Enough, enough, of course it's enough!"

The waiter smiled freely, which made Dong Qian feel helpless. It turns out that the rich man is the one.

These two drawers of steamed buns were all ordered by Dong Qian.

"Master, don't you want to eat?" Dong Qian stuffed one into her mouth and spoke slurringly.

Xu shook his head. He had just eaten a few in that small town and had no other appetite at the moment. After drinking a cup of tea, he planned to go to the room to rest.

Dong Qian didn't feel sleepy at all. After finishing the buns, she stood up and stood at the door.

Looking at the bustling crowds of people outside, she suddenly felt at a loss.

Yancheng is the place she is most familiar with, but she is not very familiar with anywhere except Yancheng.

"Girl, are you planning to go somewhere?" The waiter just now came over again.

Dong Qian said nothing, and the waiter continued: "I can give you directions where you plan to go."

"You don't want money again, do you?" Dong Qian asked doubtfully.

The waiter shook his head, because the preface had already been given.

"I don't plan to go anywhere. I'm just here to take a look. You can go and do your own thing." Dong Qian sent him away with a few words.

Although there were many people coming and going outside, only the two of them had checked into this inn from morning until now, and it looked deserted at the moment.

Dong Qian didn't want to go back to the room, but she didn't know where Lin Ling'er was.

I could only stand under the tree at the door and watch the people coming and going.

Suddenly Dong Qian's eyes were fixed on a child.

It was already winter, but she was still wearing thin clothes and her hair was messy and dirty. She must be a beggar.

Just as Dong Qian was lamenting the fate of these children, she saw her taking off a pedestrian's purse quickly and without changing her expression.

Because of his small stature, he can move easily among the crowd.

By the time the person whose wallet was stolen reacted, the little girl had already run into the alley.

"Someone stole something!"

The man shouted in the crowd, and suddenly there was an open space around him.

Everyone shunned her, but no one wanted to help her.

Dong Qian got up and followed the little girl to the alley. She seemed to be aware that someone was following her, and she ran quickly.

Even so, Dong Qian still followed closely.

"Return the stolen purse and pretend this never happened." Dong Qian followed and shouted.

The little girl scoffed.

"Where are these people from? They are just nosy."

After speaking, her speed became a little faster, and Dong Qian gradually couldn't keep up.

And she was still a little lost. The houses here all looked exactly the same.

Dong Qian glanced around, preparing to explore whether she could get out of the alley.

"Are you... Chef Dong?"

Suddenly a childish voice came, and Dong Qian instantly turned her head to look over.

A boy about the same age as the little girl just now stood not far away.

Dong Qian was stunned.

"Who are you and why do you know me?"

"As expected, it's you. Although we have never met, we all know Xiao Che!"

The boy smiled, showing two cute little tiger teeth.

Dong Qian realized that he was also a beggar, almost the same as Xiao Che.

She didn't expect that Xiao Che actually knew someone in Weizhou City.

"The news came yesterday. Xiao Che said that Chef Dong is coming to Weizhou City. If we see you, we will do our best to help you."

The boy said as he led Dong Qian to walk on this dirt road. He wanted to take Dong Qian to their headquarters.

Dong Qian laughed at the innocence of these children.

"My name is Ahao. Has Xiao Che ever mentioned me to you?"

He walked this road backwards and was able to avoid all obstacles perfectly.

"That's not true. I actually didn't mention it to him about my coming to Weizhou City."

Dong Qian didn't expect Xiao Che to pay so much attention to herself.

Ah Hao's expression looked obviously a little disappointed. The two of them had been walking for half a quarter of an hour when a dilapidated temple appeared in front of them.

"This is my home!"

It looked like the roof of the ruined temple was damaged, and there wasn't even a door.

Dong Qian looked a little sad.

When she and Ah Hao entered the temple together, she saw the little girl sitting on a pile of soft straw.

There were two little boys beside her, who looked up to her.

"Everyone else is pretty much spread out in different places, so it's just the four of us living here."

After Ahao finished speaking, he found a clean place for Dong Qian.

Dong Qian walked straight to the girl.

"I'm afraid I have to take care of the business. Hand over your wallet." Dong Qian extended her hand to her.

Children at this age learn to do well and do bad things almost in a flash.

If it is not corrected, this little girl will only be a pickpocket when she grows up, hiding in the darkness and never seeing the light of day.

"Ah Hao! Why did you bring a crazy woman back?"

The little girl was frightened by Dong Qian and shrank back.

Ah Hao's expression immediately became serious.

"Fenghua, did you steal other people's things again?"

The girl named Fenghua raised her head proudly.

"Those people are too stupid. Their wallets are clearly leaking out. Didn't they just ask me to steal them?"

She had no idea what she had done wrong, and she even thought those people were stupid.

Dong Qian helplessly held her forehead.

"Then if according to what you said, the food you bought is for me to eat when it is placed in front of me?"

After saying that, Dong Qian grabbed the steamed buns in front of her.

"You! You crazy woman, you are not welcome here, please return the things to me!"

Fenghua is young, and because she often doesn't have enough to eat, she is also shorter.

Dong Qian raised something above her head, but she couldn't reach it at all.
