Chapter 307 Short Legs, Fast Running
"Big sister, I'm going to deliver food to my husband."
San Chuan placed the jellyfish soup and a large bunch of skewers into the basket, while Xu Yiyi buried her head in calculating the bill.
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Yiyi looked up, searching for A Yue's figure, but she had disappeared.
"Find Ah Yue to go with you."
After she finished speaking, she went to settle accounts with the diners. Sanchuan went to the backyard to look for her but couldn't find her.
"Grandpa Lu! Where did A-Yue go?"
San Chuan looked at the old man standing at the kitchen door, who was also acting rather rudely, and asked him a question.
"Where did it go? How should I know?"
Old Lu kept humming, glanced at the list on the wall, put the dishes that Yunniang had handed to the window onto a tray, and went to the front hall.
As the last rays of sunlight sank below the horizon, the lanterns inside the restaurant suddenly lit up.
Old Lu lit dozens of lanterns in succession, and there was not a single empty table in the hall.
Outside, diners without seats weren't in a hurry. The long queue stretched at least to the end of the alley. The aroma of various grilled skewers made the wait seem a little more enjoyable.
"Big sister, I can't find A-Yue!"
Sanchuan came back from the backyard, touched the lid of the box with his little hand, worried that the skewers would get cold and not taste good.
"Then call Sihai back to settle accounts, and I'll go with you."
Xu Yiyi quickly gave the customers change and asked Aunt Zhang to clear the table. Because it was a large table and the customers had ordered a lot of dishes, it took a full fifteen minutes to clear the table.
"Third brother! Eldest sister is busy. You can go and bring food to the teacher yourself, just like you would when you go to the academy."
Sihai waved his small fan and spoke with a serious expression.
His little brain just couldn't understand why his third brother, who usually went to the school by himself, insisted on taking his eldest sister with him to deliver some food to Mr. Xiang.
She's even more clingy than Gobuchi.
San Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "My older sister said it's not safe lately, and I can't wander around alone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sihai waved his hand dismissively.
He jogged inside and grabbed the food box that was under the counter.
"I'll deliver it for you!"
Sihai left a comment and ran off with the food box in his hand.
"You can't go! Don't run away!"
Sanchuan chased after him, but got jostled by the crowd, and by the time he ran out again, the little brat was already far away.
……
"Running so fast! How can you run so fast..."
Sanchuan chased after him, panting heavily. Having grown up by the sea, Sanchuan's stamina remained as good as ever, even after attending the academy for so long.
But Sihai is like a young calf, practicing martial arts every day, and he has inexhaustible energy.
It has short legs, but it runs very fast.
……
"Ah Yue? What are you doing in the wine cellar?"
Xu Yiyi opened the cellar door, and A Yue immediately ran out.
"I wonder who locked the door from the outside!"
A-Yue was concerned about money and worried that if she kicked it, she would have to spend money to repair it, so she stayed inside for a while.
“Perfect timing! Sanchuan is going out, you can accompany him to the academy.”
As she spoke, Xu Yiyi locked the wine cellar with her hand.
"What about people?"
When A-Yue walked to the counter, she only saw Xu Anyang and Er'er busy.
"It's at the door."
Xu Yi walked over, her eyes instantly turning cold.
"Er'er, what about the Three Rivers and the Four Seas?"
Xu Yi squeezed next to the little girl, not paying attention to her skillful operation.
"I do not know!"
Er'er took off her mask, her little face was red and covered in sweat.
"They must have gone to the Xiang family. I'll go look for them, don't worry."
A-Yue comforted her, but Xu Yi-Yi didn't respond and went out with her.
At this moment, Sihai and Sanchuan looked at the fierce-looking Gao Haoming with some resentment.
"I have to say, I'm having a lucky day." Gao Haoming smiled and looked at Xu Wenli standing to the side.
"Stop joking and take them away quickly."
Xu Wenli was worried that Xu Yiyi would find the child as soon as she discovered he was missing.
"Sihai, these two can't get Big Sister to go into the sex industry, so they're planning to kidnap us to blackmail her."
Sanchuan put the food box that Sihai was holding on the ground and whispered to Sihai.
“You run fast, I’ll stop them later, you go back and get Grandpa Lu to beat them to death.”
San Chuan said through gritted teeth.
"No! Let's run together, I'm afraid they'll beat you up."
Si Hai shook his head, looking warily at Xu Wenli, the smiling tiger, and Gao Haoming, the brute.
It's so big, even if you only use a fraction of your strength to hit it, you could still hurt someone.
"That works too, let's run together."
Gao Haoming and Xu Wenli stood at the end of the alley, at least five zhang away from the two children.
San Chuan looked around and realized that his teacher's house was just around the corner from the alley, which was safer than running home.
Thinking this, Sanchuan squeezed Sihai's little hand, just about to speak.
The child ran three zhang away in an instant, his footsteps slapping the ground, creating a whooshing sound like a fishing boat hauling in its nets.
San Chuan was startled and ran after the child.
"I knew those two kids were up to no good, but I'm confident I have them under control."
Seeing that Xu Wenli was about to curse, Gao Haoming left a message and followed him.
Sihai ran out and looked back, only to find that his third brother was gone.
In a panic, he stamped his feet and turned back like a whirlwind.
Her shiny little hand grabbed Sanchuan's wrist.
He ran so fast that he actually pulled his third brother off balance.
"Third Brother, run faster!"
Sihai was extremely anxious and wished he could pick the person up and take them away.
"Sihai... I can't run anymore..."
The two ran a long way, and Sanchuan ran at a speed he had never run before. He was panting like a broken bellows, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"It's alright, it's alright! I saw that they didn't catch up."
Sihai patted Sanchuan on the back.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Haoming's cold laugh was close to his ear: "You two little brats are quite good at running, aren't you?"
Seeing this, Sihai grabbed Sanchuan and ran, pulling him down.
Suddenly, Sihai let go of her hand.
To Sanchuan's astonishment, the chubby four-year-old boy pulled a snakeskin whip from his waist.
The whip snapped with a crisp crack, leaving a bloody welt on Gao Haoming's face.
"Huh?" Gao Haoming covered his face and froze, stunned by the child's sudden action.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sihai crouched down and crawled between his legs, then lashed his thigh with the whip again.
As Gao Haoming knelt down, the snakeskin whip seemed to come alive, wrapping around his ankle and pulling with the force of the movement.
"Ouch!"
Gao Haoming immediately fell face-first into the mud.
San Chuan grabbed a stone, scrambled to his feet, and began to smash it against Gao Haoming's face.
Sihai gripped the snakeskin whip with both hands, using one leg to step on Gao Haoming's back for leverage, and kept pulling him backward by choking his neck.
"Third Brother, come help me quickly!"
Gao Haoming, being an adult, quickly shook off the two children after realizing what was happening.
Sanchuan crashed to the ground, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
Sihai had indeed learned from Lao Lu; the moment he was thrown out, he immediately adjusted his movements and landed steadily on the ground.
"What a piece of trash!"
The moonlight shone a fraction higher as Xu Wenli slowly emerged from behind.
"Second Master! I was caught off guard. Who knew these two little brats would launch a sneak attack?"
Gao Haoming covered his face and defended himself, his gaze towards Sihai instantly turning ruthless.
