After Nie Changping's explanation, Xiao Xixi and Luo QingHan finally understood the origin of the little girl.

The girl's name is xing'er. She is from a small mountain village under the jurisdiction of Gangu County.

Since the drought in Jingshou County, the crops in the field have gradually died, and the well water in the village no longer flows out. Many people in the village began to run out.

Apricot followed her grandfather to the county town to go to her cousin.

Unexpectedly, the cousin was a wolf in human skin. When Grandpa was ill, he knocked apricot out and sold it.

She was sold into the county government.

Nie Changping went to inquire about Yang magistrate near the county yamen. He happened to see the girl running out of the back door of the county yamen, followed by a string of vicious yamen servants. Seeing that the girl was very poor, he saved her on a whim.

Apricot knelt on the ground, first kowtowed to Nie Changping, and then kowtowed to Luo QingHan and Xiao Xixi, choking.

"Thank you for saving me. I have nothing to repay you now. When I send my death to Grandpa, I will be a cow and a horse for several benefactors!"

Xiao Xi squatted down, looked at her face and hesitated.

"If you want to see your grandpa, go quickly. You may not see it later."

Apricot opened her eyes and couldn't believe it: "how could it?"

Xiao Xi sighed and said in a compassionate tone: "I look at your face. A close relative will die today. Your close relative should only be Grandpa."

Apricot trembled and tears rolled down.

Indeed, her parents died early and lived with her grandfather, who was the only close relative she had left in the world.

She dared not delay any longer and almost ran out.

She has to go back to see grandpa for the last time.

Xiao Xi said, "send someone to follow her. Don't let her be caught and sold again."

Luo QingHan: "Xiao Nan, follow her."

The bodyguard named Xiao Nan came out and chased him out quickly.

Nie Changping looked up and down at Xiao Xi, and asked suspiciously, "will you meet again?"

Xiao Xi said frankly, "I know a little about fur."

"Then show me what I'll eat tonight?"

"Naturally, corn cake with bacon."

Nie Changping smiled: "you're wrong. I hate corn cakes most. I won't eat this tonight."

Xiao Xi's eyes turned: "what if I'm right?"

"Impossible, impossible!"

"It's just a hypothesis. If I'm right, I'll have all your bacon tonight. How about it?"

Nie Changping agreed without hesitation: "OK, bet on the bacon. If you're right, my bacon belongs to you. If you're wrong, your bacon belongs to me."

Xiao Xi smiled and bent his eyes: "it's a deal."

Nie Changping was full of confidence: "it's hard to catch up!"

Just then, the man knocked at the door.

He stood at the door and asked, "dear guests, are you eating in the inn tonight? If so, I'll let the kitchen cook."

After getting a positive answer, the man asked everyone what to eat for dinner?

Nie Changping said without hesitation, "everything else is OK except corn cakes."

The waiter was embarrassed and said, "but the staple food in our store is corn cake."

Nie Changping was stunned.

He couldn't believe it: "in a shop as big as yours, how can you only have corn cakes? Rice? Noodles? It's OK to have steamed buns without steamed buns!"

The waiter explained dryly: "we are in short of food in Gangu County. Now, except for the granary of the county government, how can we find rice noodles? The corn flour and bacon in our store are still the inventory left over from last year. If we eat less, we don't know how many days we can last."
