“Twant to go home and find my mother. Boohoo.”
“Do you believe that I’l tell my mother?”
“Just you wait, I’ll definitely come back for revenge.”
The few little boys could be heard crying and talking.
With the cries, a few disheveled children got up from the ground and ran home quickly. As they cried, they did not forget to issue some threats to the little girl. They really made it hard for one to hold back one’s laughter.
The little girl did not care about what they had said at all. As she waved the sword in her hand, she gave them a fierce look.
Looking at the fleeing back views of the four little boys, the little girl smiled smugly and looked at her sword to express her great affirmation.
“My performance today was not bad. Fight a few more times with them, and my swordsmanship will definitely improve. When the time comes, that big yellow dog that barks whenever it sees me and that big swan, will be defeated by me.” The little girl smiled as she spoke. It looked like she was talking to
her sword, but it also seemed like she was talking to herself.
suddenly, she seemed to have realized something. She turned around and saw that a group of adults had appeared behind her unknowingly. They were looking at her with smiles on their faces.
The little girl’s eyes were instantly filled with awkwardness and fear. She did not know if they had appeared when she was talking nonsense to herself. She could only turn around to leave.
“Little girl, don’t go.” One of the adults in the group shouted at her. His voice was very gentle, causing the little girl to unconsciously stop in her tracks.
‘The little girl turned around and saw that a very good-looking big sister had called out to her. The little girl looked at the big sister’s face and sighed in her heart. “How fair. It would be good if I could grow up to be so good-looking.”
After a long while, she finally heard what the eldest sister had said to her, “Young lady, is this Lolan Town?”
The little girl nodded. So it was just someone asking for directions.
“Do you know that there is a family whose surname is Nicholas?”
‘The little girl was stunned. Then, she quickly nodded and said, “Yes, I know. I can bring all of you there, but you’ll have to tell me why you are looking for him?”
“We’ll explain to you later, but you have to bring us there immediately. It is very urgent,” Big Sister said again.
It was not that the little girl did not want to bring them along, but the tone of the big sister was a little anxious, making the little girl feel a little uncomfortable. “It is possible to bring you guys there, but you’ll have to pay me a fee for bringing you all there.”
“That’s easy, just tell me how much you want.” Upon hearing this, the big sister finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Bring us there, and you’ll get the money immediately.”
“You’ll have to pay me first.” The little girl was not going to lose out at all. She stretched out her little black hand.
‘The big sister looked at the little girl and found her extremely adorable. She immediately agreed to her request and placed the money in her hand.
‘The little girl saw the money in her hand, so leading the way was not a problem. “Just follow me.” They walked into an alley, and she then pointed out that the place was ahead.
That’s right, this group of adults was Norton and his group, who had come to search for the descendants of the Nicholas family. The person who had just communicated with the little girl was Kathleen.
The group of them had spent a total of three days before they arrived at Lolan Town. They did not expect Lolan Town to be even smaller than the place where they lived. They could not help but wonder if there were really members of the Nicholas family clan here.
After seeing the young lady’s back view recede, Norton then saw the dilapidated house in front of him. The young lady had said that the person with the Nicholas surname lived here.
The dilapidated condition of the entire house had exceeded everyone’s imagination. It was as if a heavy rain could destroy the house. At this moment, whether it was the door or the windows, the house was tightly shut. No one knew if there was anyone in the house.
“Tl knock on the door.” Jimmy could not hold back his excitement and rushed forward.
He knocked on the door. It looked like it had been a long time since anyone had knocked on the door. Just a light knock, and there was a layer of dust. He exerted a little more strength, and the door was actually pushed open.
“Is anyone there? Is anyone there?” Jimmy shouted from the doorway.
A few seconds later, still no one answered. There was no movement in the courtyard either. It looked as if there was no one here.
“No one seems to be around,” Jimmy told everyone with a sense of helplessness. This was undoubtedly bad news for everyone.
But the little girl had already reached the end of the alley. Norton quickly shouted at the little girl, “Are you sure? Are you sure this is the house of someone who’s a Nicholas?”
‘When the little girl heard this, she said confidently, “Of course, Uncle is sometimes not at home. Wait a while, I’ll go and help you see if he’s buying groceries.”
With that said, the little girl skipped away.
Everyone stood at the door of someone else’s house for a moment. They did not know what to do, so they looked at each other and waited for the little girl to return.
On the other side, the little girl had run into a local vegetable garden. In the corner of the vegetable garden, an old man was sitting and weaving a bamboo basket.
The little girl shouted as she ran, “Grandpa, Grandpa, run quickly. Some bad people are coming. Let’s run quickly.” As she spoke, she pulled Grandpa’s arm and was about to pull him along to escape.
“What’s wrong? What have you seen? What nonsense are you talking about?” The old man looked up at the little girl and saw the injuries on her face. “Lily, have you fought with someone? And what bad people are you talking about? Has someone bullied you?”
The little girl did not have the time to explain to Grandpa at all. “Grandpa, there are really bad people coming. Let’s go quickly. The bad people are looking for us.”
The old grandpa saw that Lily was very flustered, but she did not seem to be lying, so he listened carefully. “I saw a group of people outside who were not from our town. They came up and told me that they were looking for someone with the surname Nicholas. I had tricked them into going to the other
end of the alley. They are still waiting there. I don’t think they are good people. They must be bad people. Let’s run.”
“Looking for someone with the surname Nicholas? What is this…..2” Before the old grandpa could finish his sentence, he heard the door open outside. Lily quickly hid behind her grandfather and stuck her head out.
It turned out that Norton and the others were outside the door. After the little girl had run away, they waited there for a long time, but no one came back.
Gradually, they discovered that something was not right. The house might not have been where someone with the Nicholas surname lived at all, and the real descendant of the Nicholas family might have known the little girl. Thus, the few of them had followed the tracks of the little girl all the way here.
Pushing open the door, Kathleen said angrily, “I have told all of you that this young lady was lying to us.. And, just who were the bad guys you were talking about?”
