Chapter 453: Chapter 453: How About This, Uncle Carries You?
Lai Si paused.
He initially wanted to appear fierce.
But considering Bai Zhi’er is after all just a four and a half-year-old little guy.
He stammered, "Ah... right! Actually, your father asked us to take you home."
Bai Zhi’er tilted his little head: "My daddy asked you to come?"
"Yes, little girl, come with us, you’ll see your father soon."
"But... Uncle, you’ve taken the wrong path, that way is the way down the mountain." Bai Zhi’er extended his small hand and pointed behind them.
Of course, Lai Si and his companions couldn’t go back!
Otherwise, wouldn’t they run into the teachers from Mingyang Academy!
Lai Si chuckled: "We’re not taking that path, we’re taking a shortcut."
Bai Zhi’er immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, let’s set off quickly then!"
Lai Si didn’t expect the child to be so easily deceived.
He exchanged a glance with his accomplice, seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
Originally, they planned to knock Bai Zhi’er out to prevent her from screaming and attracting attention.
Now that she’s cooperating, it saved them trouble!
Thus, Lai Si tucked Bai Zhi’er under his arm and continued to flee quickly.
The little guy blinked his long lashes, his round, bright eyes scintillating.
These uncles aren’t even good at lying.
So dumb!
She wanted to go along and see who instructed them to kidnap her!
After a while, the little guy became unhappy.
Bai Zhi’er mumbled, "Uncle, carrying me like this is making me dizzy!"
Lai Si hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
He glanced back, temporarily seeing no one following.
Lai Si wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"What do you want, then?"
Bai Zhi’er asked pitifully, "Since my daddy sent you, shouldn’t there be a carriage? I want to ride in a carriage."
A carriage?!
That’s something only wealthy families could afford.
If Lai Si and his team stole even a carriage shaft, they’d get beaten by the government.
"We came out in a hurry and forgot, besides, this mountain road is bumpy, not suitable for a carriage." Lai Si explained.
Bai Zhi’er immediately kicked his little feet and broke free, bouncing to the ground.
The little guy placed her hands on her hips, turned around, and huffed in a childish voice.
"Without a carriage, I can’t walk anymore! When I set out, I only ate a few small buns and a chicken leg, and now my stomach is empty."
Lai Si frowned.
Do all rich family’s little kids act this spoiled?
A nearby accomplice approached, whispering, "Bro, let’s just tie her up and go, otherwise this girl will keep fussing and someone will catch up soon!"
Lai Si waved his hand, saying seriously, "We can’t do that. That gentleman paid us just to take her away but specifically instructed that she must not be hurt. She’s still useful later!"
"If she’s hurt, we won’t get a dime of the money later!"
Bai Zhi’er tilted her ear, secretly listening with big, wide eyes.
Lai Si thought for a while, walked forward, and smiled pleasingly, "How about this, uncle will carry you on his back?"
Bai Zhi’er looked back at him, her big eyes glistening, "Carry me? Okay! Then you squat down."
After Lai Si squatted down, the little guy ran over and stepped on his back, sitting on his shoulder.
"I’m settled!" Bai Zhi’er said softly.
Lai Si was stunned: "Didn’t we agree to carry you? Now you’re sitting on my shoulders."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her round black eyes: "I sit more comfortably this way."
Lai Si gritted his teeth, his small eyes flashing with unwillingness.
Being ridden like a horse by a child!
Oh well, for the rest of the silver, endure it!
