Lian Manman was startled, the man was clearly the peddler, Qian Huolang, who should have left Qingyang Town by now.
"Lian, Miss Lian..." Qian Huolang crouched down, flashing a grin at Manman and her friends while he offered them a bag of pastries he was holding.
Manman chuckled inwardly, this peddler had actually not left and even dared to show up in front of them. It seemed because the three of them were just kids and they hadn't laid a hand on him that day, there he was upon meeting them again, trying to bribe them with pastries right away.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Wu Lang also recognized Qian Huolang, quickly stepping in front of Manman to block the peddler. "You better leave, or I'll tell my uncle and the others, and they'll give you another beating, then send you to the County Yamen."
"No, no," Qian Huolang waved his hands, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."
Despite saying this, Qian Huolang's feet didn't budge an inch.
