Finally, they arrived near the client's home, but Meng Li did not go in.
Meng Li was unwilling to let the client's parents know that she was back unless necessary.
Now that I know I'm back, although I won't report to the official that my sold daughter is back, I can use some crooked thinking, probably to maximize the value.
If you don't go back, you might be sold by them if you go back.
And it is easy to be discovered and reported by neighbors.
Meng Li released his mental power and checked the client's younger brothers and sisters, his younger brother Pingxia, his younger sister Pinghua, and his younger sister Pingxin.
There is a sister before the client, but she was sold and she doesn’t know which country she went to, and her life or death is uncertain.
Of these three children, Ping Xia is thirteen years old. In fact, Ping Xia also meets the requirements, but he is just a boy. The family is always reluctant to let go of him, so he has never felt that Ping Xia meets the requirements.
Pinghua and Pingxin are a bit younger. Pinghua was not ten years old when he left, but now he is, and Pingxin is nine years old.
None of them meet the conditions for tax deduction.
When it comes to taxing a year, it's more or less, but many times a penny stumps a heroic man. He happens to be short of money, and he can't get the money despite all his efforts. There's nothing he can do about it.
He saw Ping's mother and Ping's father, but not the three children. Meng Li used his mental power to search for them in their usual places, but could not find any trace of them.
Meng Li thought about whether there was any secret place nearby, and searched carefully in the client's memory, and she found a place. She released her mental power and took a look, and she saw three children.
but…
Meng Li turned around and hurried over. When he got to the place, he straightened his curtain and hat. He saw that Ping Xia was wearing a thin piece of clothing. Her face was red and her head was covered with sweat. At this time, the weather in Liuguo was not warm, and there were even people wearing it. Cotton-padded jacket, Ping Xia is like this just because he is practicing martial arts now.
There was also a special wooden stake, and the two little girls Ping Hua and Ping Xin were also walking on horseback, their faces turned red from holding back their teeth, and their cheeks were puffed out through gritted teeth.
Standing next to her was a woman who, like her, wore a curtain hat to cover her face.
Meng Li released his mental power and swept away the woman. He looked at the face of the woman, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was still very immature, but the eyes that were calmly looking at him at the moment were very complex and deep.
Meng Li was suspicious, what was going on? The two women stood opposite each other, looking at each other, but neither of them spoke first.
But the three children just glanced here for a while, without asking or saying anything, and continued to exercise.
Since the other party didn't speak, Meng Li just kept calm and looked at what they were going to do. Although Meng Li's face couldn't be seen clearly, from a woman's point of view, the other party was not nervous and was even very relaxed and content.
This made her unable to help but say:
"Who are you?"
Meng Li smiled faintly. After all, it was the woman who couldn't help but speak first. She pretended to cough, cleared her throat, and deliberately changed her tone.
In case the three children would know it was her as soon as they heard it.
As long as there was no resemblance, the three children would not have thought that the sister who was sold would come back.
She said flatly:
"I'm just passing by, but you ask me who I am, isn't it rude?"
The woman frowned and looked at Meng Li again. Her intuition told her that this person was definitely not passing by, but seemed to have come directly.
Besides, this place is secretive and it is in a barren mountain. This woman is not badly dressed, how could she come to such a place
The other party's voice was as plain as a puddle of water without any emotion. Sometimes people are afraid that others will have emotions, and sometimes they are also afraid that others will not have emotions.
She doesn't like people who have no emotions, because you don't know what to hear from her tone, and it's impossible to get a glimpse of her inner emotions.
It was impossible to deduce what was in her mind.
Why!
After the other party said this, she was too embarrassed to say anything else. She no longer looked at Meng Li, but stopped the three children and called them to her side.
said:
"How about we take a break?"
"Okay, Sister Susu."
Pingxin was the youngest, and Zamabu had been tired for a long time. He was happy to get some rest and smiled at Susu.
Su Su touched the sweat on Ping Xin's head, squatted down, hugged Ping Xin and Ping Hua, and said:
"Whatever you want to eat, Sister Susu will cook it for you."
Pingxin tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head. He was not too hungry, and Pinghua and Pingxia were not too hungry.
It's not time to eat yet, but I usually practice hard at this time and haven't developed the habit of eating at this time.
This made Su Su very embarrassed. It was difficult to continue training now that someone was here, but sitting like this and waiting for others to leave would feel like she had something to be ashamed of.
Meng Li simply sat aside and looked at the woman silently.
The background of this woman named Su Su always gave Meng Li a strange feeling, and her words and deeds were still a bit different from her age.
It would be a good thing if Ping Xia and the others could really learn some self-defense skills, but it depends on who they learned from and what they learned.
Ping Xin and Ping Hua both talked around Su Su. The two children were chattering, but Su Su dealt with it awkwardly, feeling really uncomfortable when someone was around.
This quickly made Pingxin and Pinghua feel bored. Knowing that Sister Su Su was unwilling to speak now, Pinghua looked at Meng Li warily, but Pingxin was bolder and ran to Meng Li and asked:
"Sister, are you here to see us practice martial arts too?"
Su Su was a little nervous. Looking at the other woman's behavior, she felt that it was not simple. She didn't really want Ping Xin to talk to her, but she instinctively wanted to find out where the other woman was from through Ping Xin's mouth.
It made her mouth open and close.
Meng Li took a look at Pingxin's little face, which was somewhat similar to the client's eyebrows. It had not yet grown out, and it would not be bad if it grew out.
She nodded and said:
"Yes, what are you doing?"
Pingxin bared her teeth and smiled, her expression was very innocent, and she said:
"Didn't I just tell you to practice martial arts? Sister Su Su said that if we practice martial arts well, we won't have to go out to be slaves. When the time comes, we can still..."
"Xinxin!"
Su Su shouted coldly, with a hint of anxiety in her voice, as if she was afraid that if she spoke too late, Ping Xin would reveal their secret.
Before Pingxin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Su, which made Pingxin look stunned, a little confused and at a loss.
Ping Xia walked over like a little adult, glanced at Meng Li with a cold expression, and said to Ping Xin:
"Sister Su Su said, don't talk to strangers, have you forgotten?"
Pingxin's little face became nervous. He felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he covered his little mouth and said:
"Fortunately, it's not over yet."
She silently took a few steps back, and Ping Xia took her further away from Meng Li.
