Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Liuhua Street_1

Nanzhi saw his confidence and produced five copper plates from her pocket, which she handed to him.

The little kid was thrilled with the ten copper plates; any trace of his earlier wariness vanished as he flashed a big smile, showing his gums.

Knowing Nanzhi was in a hurry, the boy dashed into the house to inform his mother, before leading Nanzhi out the door.

With the little boy leading the way, Nanzhi followed him, feeling less frantic than before.

Aunt Guihua was smart, and Miaomiao was not foolish; they should be fine.

But now, she was rather curious about this tactic suggested by the young boy.

Following the young boy for a while, they saw a group of little boys around six or seven playing on the side of the street. Upon seeing Nanzhi and the young boy, they called out.

"Tie Dandan, why are you out here? Didn’t your mother forbid you to play outside?"

Nanzhi looked at the thin little boy, finding the situation rather amusing.

So this little kid was called Tie Dandan?

Feeling a bit embarrassed after hearing his name, Tie Dandan ran over and asked in a low voice, "Did you see Sister Miaomiao? She left with Granny Guihua this morning. Weren’t you guys playing slingshots here?"

One of the boys glanced at Nanzhi, then at Tie Dandan, before saying, "Yes, I did see them. They said they were heading to Willow Flower Street. Seems like a place you can’t go."

Upon hearing "Willow Flower Street," Tie Dandan’s face flushed, and he looked at Nanzhi sheepishly.

Only a certain kind of people frequented Willow Flower Street, and he, a little kid, certainly couldn’t go...

And this sister was also a young lady. She probably couldn’t go to such a place either.

After a moment of contemplation, Tie Dandan removed the unheated copper plates from his pocket and handed five of them to Nanzhi: "Sister, Sister Miaomiao went to Willow Flower Street, a place we can’t go. Here are your five copper plates back."

Tie Dandan tucked the copper plates into Nanzhi’s hands, a look of embarrassment on his face.

He was grounded by his mother a few days ago for mischievousness. If he went to Willow Flower Street again, he would probably be unable to leave the bed for ten days to half a month, so this money was not worth earning.

Willow Flower Street. Nanzhi’s face froze at its mention.

Willow Flower Street was known as a red-light district, filled primarily with hidden brothels, and even lacked any high-end establishments.

Why would Aunt Guihua and Miaomiao go there?

And they went with a man?

"Hey, hey, hey, Tie, Tie Dandan, describe the man who went to the Shen family today. Here’s your five wen. I’ll still give it to you."

Nanzhi inserted the money back into Tie Dandan’s hand, hoping that the boy could remember the man’s appearance.

"That man was all dirty, with tangled hair, and he limped when he walked. I couldn’t see his face clearly," Tie Dandan, blushing under Nanzhi’s close attention, scratched his head and spoke hesitantly.

"But when Old Master Shen and Granny Guihua saw him, they both cried. I guess... I guess they must know him."

"Thank you, Tie Dandan."

As soon as the boy thanked her, Nanzhi started to mull over it in her mind.

A dirty man who limps when he walks?

And he made Aunt Guihua and Uncle Shen cry?

Who could that be?

Could it be Shen Zhong?

Thinking of this possibility, Nanzhi felt a cold sweat gather on her back.

Shen Zhong had disappeared while fleeing from famine. The odds of him returning alive after two years were slim to none.

But besides him, who else could it be?

She was worried about Miaomiao and her group, but she dared not venture into Willow Flower Street herself.

Willow Flower Street was the most chaotic place in Yan City. If she went there alone, she might not find them and instead be kidnapped.

After weighing her options, she realized that their carpentry shop was the closest to Willow Flower Street. So, Nanzhi hailed another carriage and rushed to their carpentry shop.

Her elder brothers, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, were working in the shop. Seeing their little sister rushing in, they stopped their work.

"What’s wrong? Why are you in such a rush?"

Lin Yicheng looked at his sister, puzzled. It seemed she had run quite a way, her face was still sweating.

"Big brother, second brother, quickly come with me. We need to go to Willow Flower Street!"

Nanzhi had been anxious throughout her journey, feeling that something momentous was about to happen. She could only keep urging the coachman to drive faster.

"Go... Go there for what? If I go, won’t your sister-in-law break my legs? I can’t go." Lin Yicheng was the first to refuse.

Ever since Ms. Cui flirted with him in front of his wife, he had been getting the cold shoulder at home.

He slept alone for nearly half a month because of that.

And that was all because of Ms. Cui’s fault. If he went to Willow Flower Street, he’d likely end up with broken legs.

After hearing this, Lin Ercheng also showed a constipated face.

Willow Flower Street was a notoriously filthy place. Why was his sister going there?

"Why are you just staring at me? I’m going there to find Aunt Guihua and Miaomiao. Don’t misunderstand me!"

Nanzhi knew that her brothers had wild imaginations, but seeing their increasingly strange expressions, Nanzhi was speechless.

"For the whole day, I haven’t seen Miaomiao. I just went to her house and there was no one there. The kid next door said someone came to their house this morning and they left with him. They have been gone all day, and they went to Willow Flower Street. I’ve been feeling an ominous tingle all day. I’m worried that something bad would happen."

"Your eye has been twitching?"

"Yes."

The two brothers exchanged a glance, seeing the resignation in each other’s eyes. They then grabbed handy sticks and followed Nanzhi out the door.

"When your sister-in-law beats me, remember to hold her back," Lin Yicheng said solemnly, the first to board the carriage.

Lin Ercheng looked equally serious, "Nanzhi, remember to explain this properly to her."

Nanzhi, feeling slightly helpless, boarded the carriage.

The coachman, seeing Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng each holding wooden sticks, was struck with awe. He wondered what they were planning to do and couldn’t help but ask as the carriage continued to move, "Brothers, what are you guys going to do at Willow Flower Street?"

Lin Yicheng glanced at the coachman, his lips pressed together as he simply replied, "Find a person."

The coachman, a curious type, perked up when he heard that they were looking for someone.

Willow Flower Street, finding someone, weapons in hand, and an attractive young woman.

What could they be planning?

They were definitely going to catch someone in the act!

No wonder the young lady seemed in such a rush!

She must be trying to catch her fiancé’s unfaithfulness!

However, it was also strange for a gentleman to forsake such a beautiful fiancee and visit a dirty place like Willow Flower Street?

As he puzzled over this, the coachman couldn’t help but voice his own thoughts out loud: "Miss, the man you’re looking for isn’t discerning, is he? Don’t get too mad. He’s not worth it."

Nanzhi remained dumbfounded at the coachman’s words.

What was he talking about? Ignorant? Why was she getting mad?

Not worth it?

What was this uncle saying? She didn’t understand.
