After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

The man looked around, probably on guard.

Under the moonlight, his eyes were dark and sharp, like an eagle.

Li Yuanzhi instinctively retracted his body into the shadow.

Listen to the light and steady footsteps returning from the side and gradually disappearing.

Li Yuanzhicai walked out from the side of the rockery stone.

On the way back to the second floor of the inn, Li Yuanzhi kept trying to remember, who was that?

He should have seen this face somewhere in his memory.

Maybe because there was too little communication, it didn't leave a clear impression.

Li Yuanzhi always felt that this person behaved strangely and sneakily.

If you can't remember who he is and whether he has anything to do with his group.

He could never feel at ease.

Back in the house, Li Yuanzhi sat on the edge of the sofa and thought for a while, but still didn't think of anything.

He was very upset, but he could only give up temporarily and prepare to lie down and continue to sleep.

At this time, a group of black shadows ran past with dancing arms and legs.

Then he jumped on the round table, fumbled around in the orange basket for a while, and sat down on the spot.

The room was soon filled with the chirping sounds of primates, and the scent of orange overflowed.

Li Yuanzhi was both amused and sighed helplessly.

"Hongdoubao, are you hungry again in the middle of the night?"

Hong Bean Bao made a louder eating sound, as if in response.

Li Yuanzhi was also tired at this time, so he simply stood up again and walked to the table.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and you can barely see inside the house without lighting a lamp.

Li Yuanzhi squinted and watched the red bean buns eating oranges at close range.

When eating oranges with red bean buns, they will peel off the orange peel and eat it first, and then eat the most delicious orange segments.

Li Yuanzhi saw that it tasted sweet and felt that his mouth was a little dry.

So I took an orange and ate it with it.

"Yeah!" Li Yuanzhi ate the orange and nodded in appreciation.

He whispered, "You are still smart, Hongdoubao. The capital is dry in the winter. Eating an orange when you wake up in the middle of the night is really good for producing body fluids and quenching thirst."

The sweet and sour icy cold orange juice flows down the throat.

It relieved Li Yuanzhi's irritability.

One person and one monkey each immersed themselves in eating oranges.

While Li Yuanzhi was eating, he thought of the abnormality in the red bean buns tonight.

In the hotel lobby, what did Hongdou Bao see? He was scared, horrified, and angry.

An existence that could make Hongdou Bao scared and angry, if it weren't for things like ghosts, rats, and moths.

That's...human?

Li Yuanzhi suddenly looked up at the red bean buns, and he remembered!

He knew where he had seen the person he saw in the garden!

At dawn, Jiang Xiaohua woke up with a dry mouth and tongue.

She stood up and glanced at the bedroom window.

Through the window paper, it was still dark outside.

There was still some time before dawn, so she decided to go outside to drink some water before continuing to sleep.

Jiang Xiaohua yawned and opened the partition door.

In the darkness outside the door, a pair of eyes stared directly at her.

Jiang Xiaohua was so frightened that she stopped half of her yawn, "Who?!"

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Li Yuanzhi's voice.

Jiang Xiaohua also recognized Li Yuanzhi.

She calmed down a bit and lowered her voice and asked, "You don't sleep at night."

"What are you doing by moving a stool and sitting at this door?!"

Li Yuanzhi's voice was tired and calm, "I'll have something to say when you get up."

Jiang Xiaohua was speechless, and then said angrily, "If you have anything urgent, tell me."

"Why don't you just go and wake me up?"

"It's scary to sit here in the middle of the night. If I don't get up to drink water, do you have to wait until dawn?"

"Hmm..." Li Yuanzhi said slowly, "Don't look at anything inappropriate. Men and women can't communicate clearly."

"If I broke into your boudoir in the middle of the night, wouldn't I become a deceiver?"

Jiang Xiaohua really didn't want to understand the brain circuit of this rotten scholar.

She walked to the table, poured herself half a bowl of water, and asked, "What do you want to say? Say it quickly."

Li Yuanzhi said, "I know what Hongdoubao saw."

Jiang Xiaohua drank water in one breath and felt much more awake, "What?"

Li Yuanzhi's eyes were serious, "He is the original owner of the red bean buns."

"Among the three monkey charmers, the only one who didn't show up."

Jiang Xiaohua was startled and put down the water bowl.

Although she only had a quick glance at this person through the window, she was deeply impressed.

Li Yuanzhi continued, "You still remember that we were rushing out of the city."

"Do you think that person is weird or unusual?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "Remember, you saw him again? They came to the capital too?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "I only saw him. I'm not sure if all three of them are there."

He talked about the whole process of going to the backyard and seeing the man.

Jiang Xiaohua's expression also became serious, based on her reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance experience as a special forces soldier.

In the middle of the night, alone, I went to dig out the sachet in the bush.

The combination of the above three key points is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

She thought about it, lowered her voice even more, and said to Li Yuanzhi, "But no matter what he is doing."

"It's probably not for us."

"Now I just want to find a house as soon as possible so that my family can settle down first."

"Before that, I don't want to get into trouble and make matters worse."

Li Yuanzhi nodded and asked for her opinion, "So let's try our best to avoid meeting them again."

"It's best to leave as soon as daybreak. The mortgaged pearls can be redeemed tomorrow."

"There's no need to have breakfast in the inn. There are plenty of snack vendors on the street outside."

Jiang Xiaohua muttered, "Okay, that's it."

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaohua's family left the inn early and drove straight to Dongshi.

The capital is indeed very big. When they set off, the streets were quiet and the shops along the way were not open yet.

By the time we arrived at the East Market, the sun had already climbed over the treetops, and the market had already been open for half an hour.

Li Yuanzhi was relatively familiar with the capital.

He led the way and found a jewelry store.

Jiang Xiaohua took out all the scattered pearls, agate beads, jade and other objects.

After the shopkeeper saw it, he agreed to accept it.

Li Yuanzhi had identified these items one by one in advance and given the expected price.

Because they are all scattered little things, you can only bid based on the raw materials.

Naturally, you can't make much profit.

After some bargaining, Jiang Xiaohua got fifty taels of silver.

The shopkeeper has seen many people selling loose beads, jade and gemstones like this.

Either he is a thief, he picked it up, or his family is in ruins.

So he didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xiaohua and the others.

After receiving the money and goods, he shouted to the waiter to see the guest off.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "There's no rush."

She took out a small cloth bag, opened it, took out the contents and put them on the counter.

"Boss, how about taking a look at this hand piece?"

The shopkeeper's eyes dropped disdainfully.

When he saw the handle on the counter, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaohua in surprise.

"This, is this southern red agate?"

Jiang Xiaohua said calmly, "I want to ask an expert to take a look at the stuff I made at home."
